i. S. AGENT BALKS
AT MITCHELL TRIAL
Fearing Jail, He Refuses to
Give Information on In
come Tax Return.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 9.-An internal
revenue agent, called as defense wit
ness in the trial of Charles E. Mitchell
declined today to give testimony on an
income tax return until ordered to do SO
by the Federal attorney, on the ground
that "it might mean a 81 900 fine or
that I'd lose my job or go to jail
The witness was S. o. Baradel, in
charge of the income tax examiners in
this district.
Previous testimony had indicated that
in 1880 the 1929 income tax return Of
Stanley A. Russell, vice president of
the National City Co., had been ap-
proved in washington after having been
questioned here because he had failed
to report his participation in the ST.
100000 management fund distribution
in which Mitchell received $685., 6,666.67.
Mitchell also did not report his snare,
the directors of the company having
declared the money to have been an
over-payment to Mitchell and the other
officers. His failure to do so is the ba-
SIS OF one OF Gne ululCtlneibo oSo-4i0V
him.
Baradel hesitated as Max D. Steuer,
defense counsel produced Russell's re-
turn and asked him to identify it.
There are certain methods for dis
closing such information, but this is not
one of them," he said
well what is it you want to do?'
Steuer asked.
"I don't want to do anything" the
witness replied This might mean
81 900 fine or that I'd lose my job or
go to jail"
George z. Medalie, Federal attorney
thereupon arose and directed Baradel
to give his testimony, and Russell. who
was in the court room, authorized him
to do so.
Another A<snt Refuses.
Another iEoea - revenue agent, Leo
Burmon, refused to testify without per-
mission cf special counsel for the
Interssi Revenue Department" who, he
-AasC, was in the court room.
Judge Henry w. Goddard remarked
he had already signed an order direct
ing the agents to testify and that
Medalie, would smooth out the tech
nicalities by calling them as Govern
ment witnesses.
Frederick Slanker, special counsel for
the Bureau of Internal Revenue, told
the court that Supreme Court Justice
Aaron Steuer, son of Max D. Steuer, had
recently ruled in another case that In
ternal Revenue men could not testify
for the defense in income tax matters.
"The sins of the father" remarked
Steuer amid general laughter.

CHICAGO, June 9-Inferring that
the new farm relief bill was in the ma
ture of another noble experiment, "
James r. Howard. Iowa farmer and
former president of the American Farm
Federation, last night declared it was
practically impossible to legislate fe0d

Speaking at the annual banquet of

Howard said:
Our Nation ought to have had suf-
ficient recent experience with the
eighteenth amendment to know the
limitation of Government in legislating
human actions and liberties"
While lauding the action" displayed
bv President Roosevelt. Howard said he
! did not know of any law that Congress
| could pass to keep the farmer from
! producing at a maximum. If acreage
were cut here, he said, foreign coun-
tries would act accordingly and expand
acreage.
Farmers Heartened.
Farmers have been heartened by the
recent increase in prices, he said. bu;
they were of the opinion the increase
| came from natural causes rather than
| legislation
Imitation is the only corrective
can see for the economic absurdity into
which we have been forced. History
cites many instances in which at
| tempts have been made to control food
production by governments. So drastic
have been the attempts to enforce
these laws that the death penalty has
been prescribed in some instances fol
disobedience. Yet no nation has ever
succeeded in accomplishing the results
desired by means of such laws" Howard
said

Maryland Submits Application
And Financial Procedure
On Eight Projects

BALTIMORE, Oct. 6.-Whether
or not the Federal Government
will accept at face value the
$4,000, 900 in debentures which the
Maryland State Roads Commits
sion was authorized to issue will
be learned shortly. The commits
sion's applications for Federal aid
on eight highway and bridge
projects were forwarded to Wash
ington yesterday.
The debentures are secured by
the revenues the commission is to
receive from the commercial truck
tax, which it is believed, will pro.
vide sufficient funds to meet the
interest and amortization charges
for the 15-year period.
It may be that the Federal
Government will hold that unless
the debentures are guaranteed by
the State they will not be
accepted.
The Commission expects to
net about $4,OOO,O00 from the
proceeds of the debentures them
selves and to obtain $1,200,00O
as a 80 per cent Federal Govern
ment grant. This would produce
about half of the amount needed
