states increased rates had failed to produce proportionate increase in revenue.
 High rates and evasion of the tax by gasoline "bootleggers" have increased the problems of gasoline tax administration to a point where existing facilities in most states are entirely unable to assure the complete collection of the tax, &C., c0rding to Dr Crawford.
 "A tax above tw ocents a gallon provides a comfortable margin of profit to those who have become gasoline tax bootleggers or tax cvaders," Dr Crawford concludes. "In those states with q tax of four, five. six or seven cents, lucra- tive profits are afforded the tax evader. A sales tax of above ten percent will always be evaded to greater or less degree and the (gasoline) tax has gone far above this figure in every state."
 Dr Crawford's analysis of the gasoline tax situation also reveals the impracticabiiity of permitting cities or counties to levy their own gasoline taxes.

I Newark. N. J., Dec 16.-(UP)- Immediate extradition of Robert
 Elliott Burns, Georgia chain gang fugitive, was forestalled to-day as the governor ordered formal hearing on the acquisition request, probably at Trenton tonight. As Gov A.

The Civil Liberties Union and the Van- guard Press, which published Burns book, offered him free counsel.
 Burns himself led the fight against extradition, issuing an ap- peal to the public from his cell in the Newark jail.
 "I am before the people of the state of New Jersey pleading for simple justice" he said.
 'I am not a criminal in any man. ner or sense of the word. 1 am looking for the sense of justice and mercy of New Jersey to save me from certain death if l return to Georgia"
 Burns in his cell last night. told of some strange events since he came to this state in 1880.
 "When I first came to New Jer-. sey." Burns said, certain people went to Governor Larson Morgan and asked him to protect me. As l F. Larson, Moore's predecessor) understand 1t. Governor Larson said to them: I can't promise. but we'll crack that nut when we come to 1t: we have cracked hard CT nuts than that"
 Governor Moore also knew burns was in the state as far back as 1881. The executive revealed that Rev Vincent Burns. pastor of the Union church of Palisade. N. J., had viisted him three times.
 Burns had lived more or less openly in East Orange. New York film critics visited Richard NJ. Crane. Burns alias. but did not reveal his secret. Later however. the fugitive talked at theater where the film was being shown.
 Three weeks ago he atctnded luncheon in Trenton given by em- ployes of the state vehicle depart- ment. Col II. Norman Schwarz- kopf, superintendent of state po- lice and Harold q. Hoffman. motor vehicle commissioner sat with Burns as he told his story.
 Then came a request for his ar- rest. Yesterday morning Warden Harold Hardy of the Troup coun- ty prison camp whence Burns fled. and R. +. Carter. county police chief. started north with a request for Burns extradit.on.
