ALLEN LAWYERS
HAVE SURPRISE

NORRISTOWN, Pa, Feb. 2 Il.
N. SD.-A surprise move is prom,
ised by the defense attorneys in
the murder trial of Edward H. B.
Allen as soon as the jury is COM
pleted today.
The move was believed to be
occasioned by the declaration of
independence from her family
made yesterday by Rose E. w.
Allen, whose fiance. Francis A.
Donaldson, Sd, was the victim OF
her brothers wrath.
Defense Attorney William T.
Connor told international News
Service he did not expect to ask
for a mistrial on the ground that
the girls published statement of
her undying love for Donaldson
might prejudice the minds of five
jurors yet to be selected.
Judge Harold G. knight ex-
pressed disapproval of Roses
action from the bench, when the
morning session opened at 10
o'clock.
"My attention has been called
to a published interview by one
of the witnesses in this case. 1
consider the giving and publica-
ton of interviews while the case
Is on trial decidedly improper
and we want to express our dis
approval Of such a practice"

Congress must levy an excise
tax or sales taxes to balance the
budget, Representative Crisp CD
of Georgia, acting chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee,
warned today when a score of
witnesses appeared to protest
against laying a tax on foreign
oil.

oil tax would be a heavy burden
In asking the witnesses for
constructive suggestions, Crisp

increased taxes on the rate it
proposed would fall between $780,
900, 900 and $350,000,O00 short.
The Treasury's estimates were
prepared in October, he said, and
UnderSecretary of the Treasury
