JERUSALEM, March 13 Palcor
Agency One of the most important
corroborations of the Bible during the
period Of the kingdom of Judah was
made known here today with the dis
covery at Tel Adduweir, midway be-
tween Beersheba and GAIA, of archives
with Hebrew inscriptions engraved on
porcelain which give the names OF the
most famous Israelites mentioned dur
ing that period in Scriptures.
The discovery was the work of a
British archaeological expedition head
ed by j. L. Starkey. The find is re-
garded as of unique Importance be-
cause hitherto discovery of written
documents of the biblical period has
been Iare and pottery usually has been
the only available witness of the Bible
stories. Hitherto the archaeology Of
the period of the kings has disclosed
only two or three inscriptions.
The British expedition has been
seeking light on biblical history for
some time at Tel Adduweir. which was
known In ancient times as Lachish.

Before House Special
Crime Committee.

With Wilbur La Roe. a member Of
the District Parole Board, on the wit

mittee of the House today began an
inquiry into the parole and probation
laws.
The committee has been told by
several witnesses, including United
States Attorney Leslie c. Garnett,
that the parole law is too lenient.
that its administration is unsatisfac-
tory and that it should be made to
conform with the Federal parole sys-
tenn. Garnett particularly criticized

In the meantime, the committee
made preparations to call Richard

yesterday against police and attaches
of the United States attorneys Office.
Mrs. Morely appeared before the
committee at her own request in

her son had been beaten in the third
precinct station. and made the goat"
in housebreaking case.
Detective Robert j. Maghan. third
precinct, was the principal object OF
Mrs. Morely's criticism. She also drew
into the case the names of Karl
Kindleberger, assistant United States
attorney in charge of Police Court
prosecutions, and Edward Buckley,
Washington lawyer, both of whom had
previously been mentioned in the
committees investigation.
Mrs. Morely charged her son was
struck in the head by one of four
detectives in an effort to force him
to confess a robbery in which he was
not involved, and that Detective
Maghan had sought to induce her to
pay for the missing goods. She ad-
mitted his guilt in another robbery,
but declared she was not attempting
to shield him in that offenSe.
Her complaint was that the father
of another youth, John E. Hughes, jr..
had used his influence to keep his
own son from appearing in court for
the same offense with which the son
had been charged jointly with young

PINK SLIP REPORT
TO FAVOR REPEAL
Senate Committee Due to
Ask Death of Publicity
Feature.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Senate Finance Committee will
report favorably this afternoon the
House joint resolution for repeal OF
the pink Slip publicity feature of the
income tax law. according to Senator
Walsh, Democrat. of Massachusetts,, a
member of the committee.
Just how soon it will be possible to
bring the pink slip" repeal resolution
before the Senate for action was i'm
possible to gauge today In all likeli-
hood, it will be compelled to wait until
after the work-relief bill has been dis
posed of.
That means there is no possibility
Of putting the repeal through in time
to permit income tax payers to avoid
filling out the pink slips" and fling
them with the collector of internal
revenue by Friday. the day on which
all income tax returns must be- sub
mitted.
- May Affect 1884 Figures.
In the opinion of members of the
Senate committee, however, the actual
publicity of income tax returns
through the pink slip" will be suff1-
ciently delayed to permit passage of
the repeal resolution, making it ef-
fective so far as income tax returns
for 1884 are concerned and for the
future.
Senator Walsh pointed out that it
would take the offices of the collector
of internal revenue some time to as
semble all this data, perhaps weeks or
months. In his opinion, Congress
would have ample opportunity to act
finally on the repeal prior to the time
when the information contained in
he pink slips" would be made pub
lie.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive of
Wisconsin, has offered an amendment
to the House resolution which would
make income tax returns in their en-
tirety matters Of public record. That
was his original proposal, adopted by
the Senate. but which was contracted
into the Ping slip" idea when the
matter went to conference between
the two houses. 1t is expected La
Follette's amendment will fail both in
committee and in the Senate itself.
1 4AC NOlC Will lliCll COIIlG OH Tie pass
age Of the House joint resolution.
Senator Walsh predicted that a ma
jority of the Senate would be found
lining up for the repeal of the pink
slip" when the showdown comes.
Senator Copeland of New York, who
has strongly supported repeal, said to-
day that he, too. was confident the
House measure would be passed by the
Senate.
Hopes for Report Today.
Senator Harrison of Mississippi.
chairman of the Finance Committee,
said he hoped his committee would act
on the pink Slip. resolution at its
meeting tbis afternoon. He himself
will vote for the repeal resolution. If
the resolution is reported favorably, as
is expected, he will not press for ac-
ton on it in the Senate until after the
work-relief bill is out of the way, he
said
The big fight in the Senate will
come, it is expected. over the La Fol-
lette substitute The Senate three
times in the past has voted for income
tax publicity.
