TRY SCHULTZ

SYRACUSE, N. Y, April 16
0.N.SO.-From a million dollar
panel, embattled Government and
defense counsel in the trial Of
Dutch Schultz, Bronx beer baron,
today sought to pick q jury to try
Schultz in Federal court for in.
come tax evasion. Included in the
panel are bankers, merchants, and
manufacturers, with an occasional
farmer.
Schultz was as active as his bat
terry of lawyers in choosing the IL
men, going into frequent huddles
with his attorneys as the men
stepped into the box.
Federal Judge Frederick H.
Bryant questioned the veniremen
closely and excused many who had
formed opinions. Guy Hilborne, Of
Skaneateles, retired, said:
eff this case is so One-Sided, I
don't see how they could form
an opinion only on one side"
He later added, under question
ing Of defense:
CATER you read about the
case, you don't know anything
about it,"
He furnished the comedy at an
otherwise dry session as each sally
drew bursts of laughter.

j. 8. INCOME UP
13.9PER CENT

NEW YORK, April INA
tional income, representing the
net value of goods and services,
amounted to $47,600, 900. 900 last
year, an increase Of 1879 per cent
over the 1888 total Of $41.800, 000.-
900, the National Industrial Con-
ference estimates.
Per capita income produced
for 1894 was calculated at, $344,
or $44 above the previous year.
The board explained that ma
tional income produced represents
earned income from production
and does not necessarily coincide
with the combined income paid
or distributed as wages, salaries or
other labor income, rents and roy
alties, interest. dividends and
Withdrawals by proprietors a n d
partners.
Contrasted with the greater ma
tional income last year, the study
reported an increase Of 1877 per
cent in wholesale commodity
prices for the same period and
Of 81 per cent in living costs. It
pointed out the effective increase
of national income measured by
purchasing power, therefore, was
considerably less than the nomi-
nal increase measured in dollars.
Comparing 1884 with 1929,
when national income reached
the peak of $93,00O,0OO,O 900, the
board finds that the income level
declined 42.7 per cent; wholesale
prices, 21.4 per cent, and the cost
Of living, 2O.6 per cent. The pur-
chasing power of the national IN
come produced was, consequently,
about 81 per cent below the pre-
depression peak.

GRE|F CD.

The Federal Government
cracked down again yesterday on
L. Grief & Bros, Inc, Baltimore
clothing manufacturers.
The National Labor Relations
Board held, that the firm, which
only recently settled it's troubles
with MIRA, h a d violated section
7(a) of the recovery act at its
plants in Staunton, Va.
The board found union workers
had been locked out by nonunion
girl workers after the company
had threatened to close down If

The board accused the company
Of abnormal neutrality" in not

initiating company union and
participating in its affairs.
The board ordered the company
to report within 10 days that mem
bers of the Amalgamated are back
at work and that it has ceased to
influence organizations of en-
plOVeS.

WAR; ON CRIME
BEGINS IN
CONGRESS

A battle to the death on crime
has started in both branches Of
Congress.
The Senate Crime Committee
opens hearings today on a bill
designed to disarm the under
world. The House Ways and
Means Committee soon will begin
hearings on bills designed to deal
with rumrunners. Both commit
tees will seek to rid the gangster
of his favorite weapon-the sub
machine gun.
The Senate bill, introduced by
Senator Copeland CD, Of New
York, would make it a Federal
offenSe for any criminal or fugi-
tive from justice to ship or carry
q machine gun or other weapons
across a State line.
It also would make the posses
sion of a firearm presumptive
evidence that it was shipped in
violation of the law. Manufac-
turers and distributors of firearms
would be placed upon a strict
licensing system.
The House bills, introduced by
Representative Doughton Cd, of
North Carolina, would provide a
maximum penalty Of 20 years in
prison for rumrunners armed
with machine guns and other
weapons. Those who try to evade
the law by laying down a smoke
or gas screen would receive 10
years.
The measure, asked by the Ad-
ministration, also, give the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue and
the Treasury broad powers to en-
force laws against crime,

BALDWIN LOCO,
REPORT IS
DEFENDED

Baldwin Locomotive Works yes
terday defended its method Of
issuing financial reports which
was attacked by the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
George H. Houston, president OF
the company, says in q letter to
stockholders and bondholders that
there is mo question" that the
study Of such matters by the
commission will indicate in the
future ways and means by which
such reports can be improved"
The company, however, does not
believe it to be the intention Of
the commission "to question the
reports made in prior years be-
cause they did not conform to
such news standards, providing
they did conform, when made. to
practices then generally accepted
as correct"
The company 'haS endeavored
to present its financial position to
its security holders and to the
public in the clearest and simplest
manner possible through its an
nual reports and other published
Statements" the letter remarks.
Up to and including 1928 the
company published in its annual
report separate balance sheets for
the parent company and for the
Standard Steel Works Company
and a balance sheet consolidating
the two, the letter remarks. Since
then only consolidated balance
sheet has been published because
d. OF the growing number of subsi.
diary units. Each such balance
sheet has shown that proper pro-
vision was made for deduction of
the minority interest of the Mid
vale Company" the letter remarks.
The same conditions apply also
to the publication of the profit
and loss statements Of Baldwin
and Midvale.

OLD SHIP

NEW PORT, r. I.-0NSO.
New England citizens are protest

against removal Of the U. s. S.

the naval training station here to
Baltimore.
The mayor of Baltimore is seek.
ing the ships return there, where
it was built in 1877, after Con.
gress appropriates suffice n t
money to restore the old fighting
ship to her original condition.
A similar attempt to take the
ship was made in 1918 but Secre-
tary of the Navy JosephuS Dan
iels decided against it when strong
protests were made.
The Constellation was launched
after George Washington recon-
mended construction of a Navy
to protect American commerce at
sea. She was constructed at the
same time as the Constitution
and the United States, frigates.
The Constellation sighted and
captured after a severe battle the
French frigate L'InSurgente off
the West Indies in 1899 and later
brought about the surrender Of
the French frigate La Vengeance
in a running fight of five hours.
During the war of 1912, the
Constellation took an active part
in protecting American vessels
and saw service during the Civil
War.
After 20 years at the Naval
Academy, Annapolis, the vessel
