STRIPE ON LEG
/. LAST STROKE

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. July
5.-Last summer Sergt. Samuel
Barab. of the local police, pleaded
in vain that guardians of the law
here be CARRIED in shorts, set off
by pith helmets and sport shoes.
Undismayed by the rejection of
his proposal to dress the police
like big-game hunters in true
bring 'em back alive" style, the
fashion-minded sergeant decided
that a touch of color on the regu-
lation dark-blue uniforms would
make the law cnforcers more
popular this summer.
Today he walked into headquar.
tiers with a broad baby-blue stripe
blazing down each trousers leg.

AAA TAX SUITS
SPEEDED To
BEAT. BAN
International News Service

Speed in seeking a decision on
the validity Of the Governments
processing taxes, involving mil.
lions of dollars, was sought to-
day by firms throughout the
country attempting to force the
issue in the courts.
Despite the assurance Of Seth
Thomas, solicitor of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, that no le-
gal rights would be lost by fail
ure to file suits before congress
sional passage of the pending
AAA amendments, most of the
suits are racing against this con-
tingency.
An important anti-AAA suit Is
pending in Baltimore before Fed
eral Judge Chestnut, who already
has given anti-New Deal opinions.
He is expected to announce his
decision before Congress passes
the AAA amendments.
Little Known Act
These amendments include a
ban on suits to avoid payment
by professors of the processing
tax, or to recover taxes already
paid.
Legal experts speeded their
suits by suddenly invoking the
little-known declaration of judg-
ment" act passed quietly at the
last session of Congress.
It was sponsored in the Senate
by Senator King CD Of Utah.
Under this law it is possible for
either side to force quick court
decisions. It was used recently
when tobacco manufacturers had
the Kerr-Smith tobacco control
act knocked out, at Louisville,
KY.
Meanwhile the AAA has pre-
pared to fight through to a SUI
preme Court decision, which can
not come now until the October
session. It is conceded that a
single broad case can point the
way, however.
With SUITS Delng 1lled almost
wholesale daily, the AAA and the
various professors groups have
adopted unusual defensive mea-
SureS.
Many Government statements,
issued freely when the cattle and
hog campaigns were in operation,
are charged to have been with
drawn from public files.
Similar precautions have been
taken, however, by professors in
regard to their own bulletins.

will involve payment of taxes or

to approximately a billion dollars.
This figure is regarded as high
by official sources. There has
been paid an actual total of eight

Central High alumni, who at
tended the Mount Pleasant inStitu-
ton between 1922 and 1926, will
remember Marie L. Siebold, the
popular young maid who played
basketball, was one of the schools
leading girl swimmers and took a
leading part in varied other activi-
ties.
Miss Siebold is now with the
Government service at Home
Owners Loan Corporation, which
she entered about year ago after
additional education that includes
a degree from Marjorie webster
School and a course in literature
at Columbia University.
She remains as slim and boyisn
as she was back at Central, with
dark brown locks, clear blue eyes
and straight nose. Although she
was sufficiently accurate shot
to hold down a forwards berth
with the formidable Ais A. c., the
Capitals leading girls court team,
for several years, the former Cen
tralite has since abandoned ath-
letics for literature.
A poetess of ability, her works
have been published in several
local anthologies, including "Emi.
nent American Poets" Rearing
Pegasus" and Modern Verse of
1884"
Miss Siebold is in the purchas-
ing and supply unit Of Hole,
where she dictates letters in her
capacity of research clerk, and in
tends making the Government
service her life career.

NEW YORK, September 18.-The

that 1t was learned on good authority
that the Van Sweringen brothers are

The group of four men was said to
have raised pool of around S5,00O,-

Part of the group of four was re-
ported to be local Cleveland interests

1t is understood, according to the
dispatch, that new corporation will
be formed to try to buy in the key

Luncheon at Pittsburgh
Held in Honor of FairIess,

PITTSBURGH. September 18.-
Merger Of two of the United States
Steel Corps biggest units-the Car
negie Steel Co. and the Illinois Steel
Co-was announced formally today
by Chairman Myron C. Taylor of the
corporation.
He told a meeting of some of the
Nations leading steel men at lunch
con the two companies represent over
20 900, 900 tons of steel ingot capacity
10 per cent of the corporations total
ingot capacity and % per cent of the
total ingot capacity of the country.
The luncheon was in honor of B.
F. Fairless, president of the new con-
Germ which will be known as the Car
negie- Illinois Steel Co. Fairless re-
Gently resigned as vice president OF
the Republic Steel Corp.
President William A. Irwin Of the
corporation presented Fairless at the
luncheon, which was attended by 300
business executives of Pittsburgh.
Irwin said:
In uniting our major companies
activities it was deemed desirable to
go outside of the corporation for man
to head this new organization. With
out reflection on any ones ability
within this old organization, we de-
cided to interject new blood in the new
set-up by inviting one of the out
standing young men in the industry
| to join our forces"
Chairman Taylor said many changes
in production equipment are neces-
sary to meet new demands for Steel
and to explore new fields of possible
consumption, heavy capital invest
ments are necessary. The corporation
is at the moment spending about
$40 100000 for plant changes and
betterments and will be called upon to
double that amount in the near fu-
ture.
