General johnson himself lacon-

CRAWFORD'S
CONFESSION
1 ADMITTED
Defense in Double Killing Case
Loses Bitter Fight to
Suppress Statement
By Times Staff Correspondent

By Times Stair correspondent
LEESBURG, Va, Dec. 15.-Fol-
lowing a bitter legal battle Of
several hours between attorneys,
Judge James L. Mckemore today
ruled that the confession made
by George Crawford, colored man
on trial here for the Staying Of
Mrs. Agnes Boeing sIlsley and
her maid, Mrs. Nina Buckner.
might be admitted in evidence
and read to the jury.
Crawford was visibly agitated
as the judge made this decision
and his attorneys spoke to him
in a low tone of voice to quiet
him.
IJs Admissible, Says Judge
ne After hearing the testimony of
Commonwealth's Attorney John
Galleher, who took the confes-
sion in the Boston Jail, and the
objections by Charles H. Houston,
colored Washington lawyer who
is Crawford's chief defense coun-
sci, Judge McLemore said:
"In my own mind 1 feel that
this man was not forced to tell
this story. 1 believe this con-
feSsiOn is admissible. Therefore
1 am permitting it to be intro
duced to the jury.
''If I am wrong all the courts
are open to you. / believe to
have refused to admit the con-
fessiOn would have defeated the
ends of Justice"
GALLEHER DENIES DURESS
Houston based his attack on
the confession on the ground that
he believed Crawford had been
! threatened to make him confess.
This was denied by Mr.. Galleher,
who stated that no threats or
promises had been made, but that
Crawford broke down, began to
cry and then said he wanted to
tell what he knew of the double
murder.
The confession itself was read
to the jury by Harold KrauS,
Boston police stenographer, from
his original shorthand notes. The
confession was Transcribed, but
Crawford refused to sign the
document and later repudiated it.
Before Kraus started reading
the confesS9@n, James Morris, BoS-
ton jailer, who administered the
oath to Crawford, was recalled to
the stand.
Says No Force Was Used
He repeated the testimony he
gave yesterday, that Crawford had
been instructed of his legal rights
and that he had been told he need
not see Mr.. Galleher unless he de-
sired to. The confession was given
in a glass enclosed room, with a
guard standing outside to see that
no force was used, Morris said.
Judge McLemore declared a
short recess following Morris tes-
timony. At that time Houston said
he would probably put Crawford
on the witness stand in his own
defense, in view of the judges rul-

Urging revision of income tax
laws but rejecting the soak the
rich" theory, Acting Secretary Of
the Treasury Morgenthau today
riddled the proposed sweeping re-
vision proposed by the House
Ways and Means subcommittee.
Morgenthau recommended .egis-
lation to stop the loop-holes which
have permitted the rich to escape
taxes, but warned Congress against
penalizing legitimate business.
The Treasury, he disclosed, may
recommend a far-reaching tax
program of its own after the
Federal budget is submitted to
Congress by the President.
To Urge New Levies
This program, he indicated, may
call for abolition of some present
taxes and the substitution of new
levieS.
A sweeping change suggested by
Morgenthau, which was rejected
by the House committee, would
require husbands and wives to file
single income tax returns. Nor.
genthau estimated the yield would
be $40, 100000 a year.
Cite Mitchell Case
The change was proposed spe-
officially because of the case of
Charles E. Mitchell, forper chair
man of the National City Bank
of New York, who was acquitted
after being indicted on charge
of evading taxes through sales to
his wife.
1t would also hit the eight COM
munity property States of the
West, where husbands and wives
car divide income and thus avoid
higher surtaxes. Morgenthau spe-
officially pointed to losses to the
Government in California, COM
munlCy property STATE.
Other Proposals
Morgenthau also urged Con-
gress to tighten the tax burden
on earned income to protect the
Salaried man earning under
5000 a year.
Credit for earned income was
formerly allowed. but was elimi-
mated in the 1882 law.
Other sweeping changes urged
by the House subcommittee,
which had alarmed business and
which Morgenthau rejected, in
clude abolition of consolidated
returns, flat limitation on de.
probation, and a denial of part
nership losses against an indi-
viduals income.
Morgenthau, taking direct issue
with the "soak the rich" bloc in
Congress, declared that abolition
of consolidated returns on COM
panieS with many subsidiaries
not only would penaliZe business
but would open the door to great
tax evasion. He said:
"The department believes
that abolition of consolidated
returns might we'll be a back.
ward step, which would result
in little, if any revenue"
Morgenthau agreed with the

powers to prevent tax avoidance
through personal holding COM
panieS.
Revise exchange and re-
organization provisions. Substi-
tute being prepared.
Continued foreign tax credit
to encourage foreign trade.
Allow consolidated returns to
corporations with subsidiaries.
Allow partnership losses to be
deducted from personal income.
Continue provision allowing
withholding of tax at source on
taX-free covenant bonds.
Remove statute of limitations
against Government if taxes
avoided by fraud.
Give commissioner of internal
revenue wide power to inveSti-
gate books of corporations and
individuals.

WEIRTON, w. Va, Dec. IS.
d.N.S).-In an atmosphere of
ominous tension. workers of the
Weirton Steel Company were
casting ballots today in their
election Of representatives for
collective bargaining.
Disregarding the warnings of
Recovery Administrator Hugh S.
johnson and Senator Robert F..
Wagner, chairman of the Ma
tional Labor Board. leaders of
the company union supervised
the voting.
The election bids fair to
prompt a major court test of the
Federal Governments power to
intervene in relations between
employers and labor under the
National Industrial Recovery Act.
$4,000 in Three Plants
Ballots were being cast in the
Weirton steel plants at Weirton
and Clarksburg, w. Va, and at
Steubenville, Ohio. These plants
employ nearly $4,000 workers.
The voting was proceeding
under the eyes of State troopers,
stationed at the plants to quen
possible disorders, and agents dis
patched by the Department Of
Justice to gather data for the
threatened Governmental prose
cution of E. T. Weir, board chair
man of the company.
The rift between the company
union and the Amalgamated AS
sociation of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers was further wldened
when the later organization called
q mass meeting here today.
Precautions Taken
Special precautions were taken
to prevent clashes.
Weir said:
81 do not consider that the
Government has any right to
interfere with the form of or
ganiZation which our employees
have chosen.
"If the National Labor Board
thinks we have violated any law
or broken any contract, let it
proceed in the courts"
The Amalgamated Association
of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
contends that today's election is
dominated by the company. It
has advised it's members either to
refrain from voting or to cast un-
marked ballots.
Forty-nine bargaining repre-
sentatives are to be chosen out Of
SO candidates selected in primary
balloting last Monday.
