Senator King, Democrat OF Utah,
chairman of the joint group, plans to
call meetings shortly after his return
to the city in about two weeks.
When the social security law was
being written at the last session, the
Senate adopted the Clark amendment,
which would have allowed the Social
Security Board to exempt an industry
from the old-age pay roll taxes if the
board found that the industry was
operating a retirement system with
benefits equal to or greater than the
governmental system. House and Sem
ate conferees, however, were unable
to agree on the provisions of the
Clark amendment, and it was drop
ped from the bill with the under
standing the joint committee would be
appointed to tackle the problem again
this Winter.
In view of the fact that the pay
roll taxes for this part of the social
security program do not begin until
January, 1887, it was felt no time
would be lost by putting off further
consideration of the Clark amend
ment.
Under the Government plan, the
payroll taxes to pay the old-age pen
sion are to be borne by both employees
and employers, starting at per cent
from each group in the calendar year
1887 and increasing gradually to 8
per cent from each in 1949 and there
after. These taxes would apply only
to the first $4,000 of an annual salary.
The employees would be eligible under
the Government plan for old-age ben
eft payments upon reaching IS, the
amount of the benefit depending on
the wages earned after December,
1886.
Supporters of the Clark amendment
pointed out during consideration Of
the social security program that many

concerns have loag-established retire
ment plans. Their contention was
that when such plans are equal to or
better than the Federal system, they
should be exempted from partici-
pating in the Government system.
Other Senators on the Joint sub
committee to study the question are
Clark Of Missouri, George of Georgia
and La Toilette of. Wisconsin. TIE
House members are Representatives
Doughton of North Carolina, Hill Of
Washington, Cullen of New York,
Treadway of Massachusetts, and Bach

j. 5. SEEKS LIMIT
TOUT|L|TY TESTS
Courts to Be Told U. S. Will
Not Intervene in Stock
holders Suits.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
In two swift moves yesterday the
Government pressed a campaign to
limit impending tests of the constitu-
tionality of the utility holding COM
pany act to its own lawsuit,
Attorney General Cummings in
structed district attorneys to inform
all courts that the Government
would not intervene in utility stock
holders suits involving the legislation
and questioned whether such cases
might be colluSive.
The Securities Commission almost
simultaneously asked the District ST.
preme Court to delay action on seven
utility suits seeking TO restrain en-
forcement Of the act, pleading that
these cases be held in abeyance until
the United States Supreme Court de-
termined the laws validity In a Gov
eminent suit against Electric Bond
and Share Co.
Early Ruling Asked.
Cummings and the S. e. c. Joined
in calling for an early Interpretation
Of the acts constitutionality by the
high tribunal, g hope expressed Fri
day by President Roosevelt at Warm
Springs, Ga.
There appeared little likelihood,
however, that the utilities would agree
to proceed along the lines chosen by
the Government, which contends the
Electric Bond and Share suit con-
tains virtually all questions needed to
be tested.
There are at least 48 suits brought
by utilities from which the utility
point of view offers possibilities of
tests Of many different questions. The
holding companies were expected IN
informed quarters to resist the Fed
eral strategy and insist that their
cases move forward in the regular le-
gal current.
The Attorney General stressed the
oft-repeated view Of the Government
that registration under the act in it
self will not burden the utilities. But
many Of the companies hold it the
first step, which might lead to their
destruction as unnecessary"
Suits Recent Development.
The stockholder suits have been Q
comparatively recent development in
the chesslike legal raaneuvering.
Stockholders have sought to enjoin
their companies from registering,
where the companies themselves ap-
parently were intending to do So.
Concerning these the Attorney Gen.
eral said:
I'm light of the action taken by the
Government to safeguard the rights
and interests of both registering and
non-registering companies, it may be
questioned whether such stockholders
suits are brought in good faith and
are free from colllsion, as is required
under equity rule az as interpreted by
the Supreme Court"
Asserting that multitude Of un-
necessary suits" also have been
brought by utilities against Govern
ment ofncials, the plea in the Dis
triet Court said:
mo public interest will be served
by pressing for decision of this is
sue in q multitude of suits. On the
contrary, such course Of action will
tend to clog the courts, oyertax the
facilities Of the Government and make
against that orderly and economical
disposition Of the controversy that is
the Governments aim"
The Governments move apparently
ended, for the time being, at least the
possibility Of a cooperative selection
of test suits by the two sides.

Of Corinna's hand Hicks used a pho

shown to Mrs. Loring.
Mold perfect Likeness"
He said the mold, which has been
prepared with great care and is an al
most perfect likeness of the girls hand,
will be treated with chemicals to give
it ltfe-like appearance and bring out
the marks Of the bite. Hicks took wax
impressions Of the teeth wounds i'm
mediately after the girls body was
found and will use these impressions
in preparing his model.
He believes the model will be used
later tor comparison with the teeth
marks of possible suspects.
He said he didn't question Mr. Lor-
ing at all last night. but that he had
interviewed Richard Tear, Corinna S
f1ance, about 10 days ago. Tear. he
said. came voluntarily for the inter
view.
Firm in his belief that the key to
the mystery of the girls murder is
hidden between the covers of 1000
pages of testimony taken during the
investigation, Lieut.. Itzel returned to
Baltimore for the week end to study
the record and perfect the strategy he
expects will lay bare all the gruesome
details Of the crime, perhaps this
week.
ItzeI Disappointed.
1tzel concluded the fourth week Of
the investigation yesterday with the
statement that he was disappointed
in not gaining today specific infor-
nation he had hoped for" He indi-
Gated, however, 1t would be obtained.
Although he declined to disclose
the nature Of the information, he left
newspaper men with the impression
that it was of prime Importance and
possibly the forerunner of the first
definite break" in the case.
ItzeI will return to Upper Marlboro
tomorrow.
AS he left for his home. it was
learned from excellent sources that
f1agrant discrepancies have been un-
covered in the testimony of several
persons around whom the investiga-
ton has revolved.
Efforts will be made tomorrow to
learn whether the discrepancies were
the result Of faulty memories or were
deliberate falsehoods.
It was also learned authoritatively
that Itzel has thrown out as imma-
terial much Of the material In the
bulky record.
Itzel spent two hours yesterday
questioning for the second time Earle
Bass of Washington. who formerly
lived in Mount Rainier and once was
a suitor of the slain girl. The ques-
tioning did not develop anything Of
value, according to Itzel.
Three other witnesses who had In
formed Itzel they would come to
Upper Marlboro did not appear. One
Of them, a Mount Rainier man who
said he possessed valuable informa-
ton, will be seen tomorrow, the Balti-
more detective said. The man lived
near the Loring home at one time.
Neither did two colored wood
choppers appear for questioning
although they were scheduled to see
Itzel early in the morning. Chief
Eugene Plumer Of the Mount Rainier
police has been assigned to bring
them to Upper Marlboro tomorrow
Itzel wishes to learn from them il

With his invitations Stunned by q
wide section Of industry, George l..
Berry predicted yesterday that If to-
morrow's industrial conference failed
to meet squarely the problems Of tax
alton, public debt and unemployment,
"a later one will"
The invitation Of President Roose-
velt's co-ordinator for industrial CO.
operation was rejected by the United
States Chamber Of Commerce, Ma
tional Association Of Manufacturers,
Automobile Manufacturer Associa-
ton, American Iron and Steel Insti-
tute and Cotton Textile Institute.
Contemplating the meeting ahead,
Berry said:
II have been composing human dif-
ferences for 80 years, and have learned
to face success or failure with o smile.
Fright VIII Prevail"
II know that in this cause, as In
others where human problems are
concerned land I hold that industry's
only purpose is to serve human needs),
the right will ultimately prevail.
IF this conference does not meet
squarely the problems Of unemploy-
ment, taxation and public debt, as
involving industrial policy, q later one
will"
Berry was not all pessimism, how
ever, on the eve Of the conference
which he called to get the views of
industry and labor on how recovery
could be hastened.
More than 5000 persons had ac-
cepted invitations. he said. and
added:
while ! realize 1t will be a tre-
mendous task to compose their Diff
ferenceS, I have not the slightest
doubt but that the Industrial Coun-
Gil will be able to agree on some of
the fundamentals of q national in
dustrial policy. and to find statesmen
within its ranks with broad vision
Of the general needs of business and
the requirements of human need"
"U. S. Must Take leadership"
Berry emphasized his view that the
Government must take the leader
ship in evolving any recovery plan.
Il have been deeply gratihed by
the confidence expressed by many who
have said they could offer no par
ticular solutions to the problems but
were looking to me to evolve from
this conference a program and lead
ership to carry the Nation toward a
stabilized and lasting prosperity" he
said.
That Is the keynote Of these meet
ings. I hold that such a program
must be found and must recognize
the rights of all the elements in in
dustry. ..
ANY other plan Of action, failing
to include human rights, and ignoring
the Governments natural leadership
in the Nations affairs, is but q
Shadowy substance and must Ger

that "bv taxing estates heavily at

The vogue for raising estate and
inheritance taxes in the late '80s
was noted by Carnegie. who said:

more heavily large estates left at

the growth Of a salutary change in
