Though Congress stands adjourned, eleven com mittees of the House will continue during the sum mer and Autumn to conduct investigations ana lo prepare reports for the next session some ol tieSe inouries are already under way. The subcommctee on military affairs which recently filed report concerning the Army Air Corps is now studying pur- chases of army motor vehicles. The special com mittee appointed to investigate "the extent char acter and object of Nazi propaganda activities Ill the United States" has held several hearings ana plans to hold more Other subjects of inquiry ln- clude such diverse questions as regulation Of the oil industry bankruptcy and receivership proceed lngs campaign expenditures and the whole subject of Federal taxation.
 | The last named investigation. to be conducted by the Ways and Means Committee, has good opportunity to do useful service Federal taxation is al present hit-or-miss, rather than a we'll rounded plan which offers the Treasury maximum protection against losses during periods o1 oe presson The committee is instructed to consider possible new sources of revenue which may provide a better balance It is also instructed to lnveStl- gate the operation of internal revenue laws inn posing taxes on intoxicating liquors, with a view to determining methods of improving and simplify ing and of preventing evasion and avoidance of such laws" After six months experiment. With repeal the desrability of such an inquiry is evl- dent.
 One other question which properly falls within the scope of the Ways and Means Committed $ study is that of double taxation. This has become increasingly important. Twenty-nlne States now levy taxes on incomes either of individuals or Of corporations, and twenty-sx levy tax on both The Federal Government has in turn invaded a field of revenue formerly occupied exclusively by the States and imposed a tax on gasoline. Duplcauons also occur in taxes imposed on tobacco, on liquors and at other points. The taxpayer is not the only sufferer from this process.

, to testify that both were made by the same hand. You planned to kill that man and built up false clues to conceal the real motive.
 To-day I went over the scene of your alleged ambush. You got out there and fired at your own car. You see how your story falls to pieces? If there was no crank letter writer on your trail, then there was no am bush, and without the ambush there would have been no turnout of police guards to establish your alibi.
 "Your purpose was to get out of the Austerlitz, unseen and unno- ticed, but you didn't dare incrimin- ate yourself by asking any of your friends to perjure themselves by giving you false clearance. So you thought out a way to do it. You faked the attack on your car, locked yourself in your bedroom with the avowed intention of drinking your self into state of coma and left the police on guard between your door and the elevator.

LOS ANGELES BENEFITS BY STRIKE.

The real and only, beneficiary by the shipping strike that has paralyzed almost all Pacific Coast waterborne commerce, is Los Angeles. Figures com volume of cargo ever handled in any similar period poured through the port of Los Angeles during the first six weeks of the tie-up.
 Wayne B. Coe, Marine Editor of the Los Angeles Times, in recent article in that paper declared that transcontinental business and ck-country business came pouring into the citys lap; so did the business of providing ships with supplies. During required to handle the surplus volume of business, 25 per cent of which transcontinental. Nine teen special trains required to haul passengers to or from San Francisco from ships that docked in Los Angeles instead of San Francisco.
 Los Angeles leaders fully realize that this gain springs solely from the strike. But they are suffi- cienty keen to appreciate it's value to the city and are already formulating plans to endeavor to hold all large part of the trade that has fallen into MS lap. Prior to the strike San Fran cisco and Seattle were the principal importing ports the Pacific Coast for transcontinental rail freight. This changed overnight and Los Angeles became the dominant port Shipping op- orators there argue that it should continue in that position after settlement is reached as "only habit it through the northern ports" in recent years operator declared If this traffic is lost to Seattle and San Francnsco, it will cost them millions of dollars annually and result as well in permanent decrease in employment to the longshoremens in those two ports.

 Nevertheless, I'm going to tell you what 1 have found oat. May l borrow your key-ring for moment? That will illustrate what mean.
 Dufresne handed over a fat ia1;h CT case. Inside were five or six keys on separate catches. Harper spread them out fan wise. The clues are like these keys" he explained "Only one will open the truth about this case, but the eye alone cannot tell which one of these keys will fit the lock. The trick is to find the one that fits"
 Pierre Dufresne was watching this demonstration with bored gray. ity when the detective put his hand over the keys and asked, suddenly. "Mr. Dufresne. why did you kill that man?"
 The expected reaction dd not come. Dufresne's head tA:ed ID sharply and his manner tensed. bat his gaze was level and without a trace of fright. You'd better exp an. Harper. Your mental processes are too intricate for me-"
 Harper brought a notehe1 key from his vest pocket and laid it down beside its counterpart on nu fesne's ring. "These are both mas ter-keys to the service-rooms CT the Austerlitz," he said. "Dces that ex. plain?"
 THE dark eyes narrowed. "I can I say that 1t does. In fact. don't remember that particular, key at all. Probably l found 1t somewhere and slipped it on my ring"
 "It means the breakdown of your very clever alibi for last night. Mr. Dufresne. In the best-iaid plans there's always some little thing that slips by unnoticed and in this case it's the possession of this key"
 "Is that so?" Dufresne re-filled his glass with steady hand. "Is this the appropriate point for me to break down and confess ali?" he drawled

A portion of the lumber wagon was left on the hill, but hitched to the front wheels, the team came tearing down to the Pacific Coast dock at a terrific rate. Colliding with lumber pile, the horses both fell and continued the journey rolling over each other for a distance of fifty feet, though they escaped with barely a scratch.
