Italy Protests to u. S.

by ChltCG HfCSS
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. - The
Italian government, it was learned
today, has protested, in effect,
against United States efforts to halt
shipments of ordinary commercial
articles to Italy during the Italo-
Ethiopian controversy.
Although officials asserted that no
formal protest had been lodged with
the State Department here, Am
oasSador Augusta Rosso was under
stood to have discussed the matter
with Secretary of State Cordell Hull
at a conference last Friday.
Italy, it was said, believes that
attempts by the Roosevelt Admin
lstration to choke off exports of oil,
copper, cotton and other commercial
articles did not constitute "ortho-
dox" neutrality.
Observers believed that the
Italian government felt President
Roosevelt had exceeded the will of

Social security legislation, both
proposed and enacted, occupied at
tention of delegates of the thirty
seventh annual session of the In
diana Fraternal Congress today in
two-day session in the Lincoln.
Peter F. Gilroy, Denver, National
Fraternal Congress Of America presi-
dent, who also is Woodmen of the
World president, summed up the at
titude of fraternal benefit societies
toward social security legislation by
asserting it won't work.
Would Involve Billions
He pointed out that any attempt
on the part of the Federal and
state governments to establish an
nuities for citizens of the country
would involve billions Of dollars and
he said that while we talk glibly of
billions these days we do not COL
lect billions easily.
Mr.. Gilroy, who welcomed the
state convention in the name of
the national organization, pointed
out that social security plans involve
the employer financially, not the
cmploye.
He said insurance companies
found the veterans insurance plan
evolved during the World War had
little or no effect on private insur-
ance business, but that, neverthe-
less, the fraternals are opposed to
further Federal encroachment in
the field.

Mayor Kern delivered the address Of

ANDERSON, Ind, Nov. estate
police joined Anderson authorities
here this afternoon in a search for
the brutal slayer of Patrolman Frank
tPete) Levy father of 10 children.
The officer was slain early today
by a gunman who, with a woman,
fled after shooting the officer four
times from an automobile in which
the duo was seated.
Capt. Matt Leach of the State
Police announced every available
state officer will aid in the search.
Patrolman Levy, who was making
an auto tour of the area alone, got
out of his car and walked toward the
car of the gunman, at 10th and
John-stS, which neighborS said had
been parked there for two hours. He
did not draw his gun.
Police have no witnesses to the
shooting, but Blythe Johnson who
lives near the scene, called police at
1910 a. m. and told them of hearing
the shots and hearing the gunman'S
car drive away.
Shot Four Times
Assistant Chief Alvin Shinkle and
Detective Jack Ryan responded and
found Patrolman Levy lying on the
street beside his car. Four .45-caliber
bullets had pierced his body, one of
them his heart.
Earl Eppley, another neighbor
told police the car containing the
man and girl had been parked there
since 10 p. m. Apart from knowing
the passengers were a man and girl,
he could not describe them.
Chief Joseph Carney, who took
charge of the investigation, called
all surrounding towns and cities
and warned them to be on the look
out for the pair.
Report Mystery Man
T. came to the attention of police
that shortly after the shooting a
young man drove a car to the scene
of the crime and questioned persons
there about what had happened.
Citizens he talked to took the IL
cense number of the car and it was
found to have been issued to a
Brazil Qnd0 man for truck. Since
he drove a pleasure car Chief Car
ney believes it is possible that the
plates were stolen.
Although there are several
theories as to the probable identity
of the criminal, police are united in
believing the gunman probably is
wanted for a serious offense and
was too desperate to take chance
on arrest.
They point out that Patrolman
Levys investigation was routine and
that he had not even drawn his
gun. The gun was in the holster
when the body was found.
Think Couple in Hiding
Some of the police believe the
couple did not leave the city at all
after the crime, but are in hiding
here
Others believe they were out OF
the city criminals and left as soon
as the shooting.
Chief Carney says they have a
few slender clews, but said he eX-
poets no arrest soon.
1t was reported later at the State
house in Indianapolis that the
number was issued for a car owned
by an Anderson woman. Police i'm
mediately began a check of this
car.

Ruling Is Severe Blow to
New Deals Farm and
Fiscal Plans.
TRIBUNAL DIVIDES, 6-3
Liberals Register Dissent
as Injunction Goes
to MiIIerS.
By UHitcd Press

WASHINGTON, Nov. Is
The United States Supreme
Court dealt a severe blow to
the New Deals farm and
fiscal programs today by
granting the plea of Louisiana
rice millers for an injunction
against processing taxes un-
der the AAA amendments.
The courts action applied only to
the rice processing taxes but was ex-
pected to result in quick legal &C
ton by other professors to halt
collection of virtually all processing
levieS.
With processing tax revenues al
ready dWindled to a trickle by ham,
pering legal actions, the courts rul-
ing gave the Treasury the serious
problem of finding new funds with
which to finance the huge AAA
benefit payment.
Fear of eventual adverse Supreme
Court action on the final question
of the constitutionality of the
whole AAA program were inten-
Sified
Decision of the court on the rice
tax injunction was not unanimous.
Justices Louis D. Brandeis, Harlan P.
Stone and Benjamin N. Cardozo dis
scented.
Arguments on Dec. Is
While the temporary injunction
granted by the court applied
specifically only to the 1-cent a
pound rice processing tax paid by
the eight Louisiana millers who
brought the action, it was expected
to result in almost universal APP
plication of professors to the courts
for similar relief
The injunction given in the rice
case today will remain in force un-
til the Supreme Court acts on re-
view petition which raises the ques-
ton of the right of taxpayers to
sue to restrain collection of a tax
which they contend is unconstitu-
tional. The court announced it
would hear argument on this petit
ton Dec. Is.
The government has commended
that taxpayers must pay first and
then sue in the courts for a refund.
Such a procedure was specifically
provided in the AAA amendments,
but taxpayers commended that a pro-
vision against refund unless the tax
had not been passed on made the
guarantee without value.
With more than 1000 suits chal-
longing the processing taxes already
filed and collection of some $780,
100000 in taxes held up, the tax
blockade was expected to furnish
Treasury officials a serious problem.
Despite increase of virtually all
other sources of revenue, the Treas
ury balance sheet now shows in
come far below expectations due to
the processing tax famine.
Court Allows Two Days
The court ordered the rice millers
to pay the tax to depository to
be named by the court, pending de-
cision on the review petition. SINH
lar procedure is available to other
professors.
If the court finally rules that tax
payers may sue to restrain enforce
ment of the tax, they will not then
be in a position of having to sue for
recovery of taxes already paid the
government, proving at the same
time that they had not passed the
taxes on.
