It advocated and insisted ON giving by
all, rich and poor. and giving until 1t

The Star took the lead-a course to be
expected Of this family newspaper, de-

Reasonable In Amount.
The contributions were reasonable
In amount, when compared with the
net income Of the petitioner. In our
opinion. they had reasonable and d.
rect relation to it, business. They were
the result Of policy long continued
with the results shown in our findings.
In view Of the attitude Of this paper
to the people Of the city, 1t could not
well have declined to take the lead In
tne cSmpalBu 1Or SUBSCRIPTIONS, anu
having taken the lead, 1t could not
have afforded to refuse to do what it
was urging others to do. Such was
the judgment Of the petitioners direc-
tors who viewed the matter as Q purely
business proposition. After mature con-
sideration Of all the facts presented, We
concur
The opinion noted counsel for the
Internal Revenue Bureau had pointed
out the witnesses were unable to show
any specific gain In dollars arising
from the contributions, and had said
It was an unreasonable demand.
1T u sufncient that the directors
had reasonable grounds to believe that
their action would be beneficial to the
corporation. It WAS not necessary for
them to expect additional gain. It was
suficient that they, with reasonable
grounds, expected that It would pre-
vent Q loss. Under either aspect we
think the petitioner is entitled to the
deductions claimed"
Six of the is members Of the board
dissented in the opinion holding that
such contributions could not be In any

PHILADELPHIA, July 2s.-Testi-
mony obtained by . grand jury may
be revealed in another legal proceeding
II the evidence is vital to the interests
Of justice. Federal District Court ruled
today.
Federal Judge William H. Kirkpat-
rick In making this ruling, denied the
contention OF the Union City IN. j.
Brewery that use of such testimony
violated the rule Of grand jury secrecy.
Government attorneys, who used
such testimony In hearings on the
revocation Of the Union City establish
ment's permit. regarded the ruling as
an important point In their drive
against certain brewer1es alleged to be
racket-controlled.
Fights 70 Kssp Permit
The Onion City Brewery IL one Of
several whose permits for manufactur-
ing beer the Government seeks to re-
woke, on the ground they were OBJ
tained by fraud. The Government con-
tends the names mentioned as owners
on the applications for permits were
false and that the breweries were
really all in one chain operated by
Max Hassel slain Reading beer baron,
and his associates.
In the proceedings on the revocation

dence testimony obtained by q Fed
eral grand jury here from two Wiscon-

Judge Kirkpatrick authorized per-
mission for the use Of the testimony
IN which the Wisconsin men-0eorge
and Harold Meyers-said they sold beer
manufacturing machinery to the Union
City Co. through an associate Of Hassel.
Uphelds Jury's Powers
Harold Simandl of Newark. N. j.,
counsel for the brewery. contended the
testimony was obtained In bath faith, "
since the Delaware County case was
unrelated to the revocation proceedings
He asked Judge Kirkpatrick to reverb
the authorization and order withdrawn

tion hearing
Judge Kirkpatrick pointed out that
the customary rule Of grand jury secrecy
can be relaxed when the interests of
justice require, and that such deviation
IS allowable In matters pertaining to .
general investigation Of law violation.
Simandl declared that the grand
jury Investigation here was "subter-
