said he wanted to help the govern

In a letter to President Roosevelt,
which follows he said:
"'I am conducting a business in
Oakland, Calf, and raising an ever
increasing family, all under the
most desirable circumstances and
protection of government. 1t is not
in my makeup to shift the cost of
that protection on to others. There
fore, please overrule the rules and
use this check to help pay the
bills.
my income tax blank this year
showed that I would not be requir-
ed to pay any tax. I am enclosing
a check that was a voluntary con-
tribution toward government cost
and was returned for the reasons
mentioned in the enclosed letter.
Being in business. I realize. that
whether or not business is good,
overhead charges must be met
Like my gas bill the cost of gov
ernment goes on and on. -
Before sending his contribution
to President Roosevelt, McCaslin
unsuccesSfully attempted to pay it
to the internal revenue office at
San Francisco which told him it
would be impossible to accept the

JAPANESE To
GREET FLEE 7

TOXIC, April 4. U.P)-Japanese
naval circles today appeared con-
tent to leave TO American pacifists
any alarms over the holding of
American naval maneuVers in the
Pacific.
Naval officers and Yokohama
shopkeepers alike will welcome the
visit Of the flagship of the U. S.
Asiatic fleet to Japan May 3.
With Admiral Frank B. Upham,
commander of the Asiatic fleet
aboard, the flagship Augusta will
put in at Yokohama the day the
American fleet begins its spring
maneuvers in the Pacific triangle
touching Alaska, the Hawaiian Is
lands and California.
Admiral Uham has many friends
among the high officials Of the
japanese navy and they will be
"glad to see and welcome him, -
they indicated.
The shOpkecpers, recalling the
free spending Of American sailors
ashore, are preparing for the visit
with great optimism. Sandwich
bars especially will be ready to
serve the Yankee sailors.
The attitude in naval circles is
that it is the duty Of the American
navy to carry out whatever pro-
grams are necessary for efficient
national defense. just as other nav
les must do in their training. The
Japanese navy will hold its Pacific
war games this summer.

VIRGINIA PLANS
CRIME STUDY

RICHMOND, May ga study
of Virginia criminal procedure,
favored by the American Bar AS.
ISOLATION, is to be made by a SUBJ
committee of Governor Peery's
advisory legislative council, it was
learned here when names of the
committee were announced.
Ashton Dovell, designated as
chairman, made the appoint
ments. Those chosen are Judge
Frank Armistead, Williamsburg;
w. E. Mooreland, dean Of Wash
ington and Lee University Law
School; Charles F. Nash, Univer.
sity of Virginia Law School:
Charles W. Moss and H. M.
Smith, jr., both Of Richmond.
The committee is to consider
so-called loopholes in criminal
laws by which trials are delayed
and defendants often escape pun
ishment. It is expected much
attention will be given the cost
of criminal cases, and efforts will
be made to point out the causes
of increasing numbers of crimes.
Governor Peery is especially
anxious to find a way to reduce
the number of cases involving
violations of the State liquor con.
troll law and fatal accidents
caused by drunken drivers.

BANKING BILL
FACES TRIPLE
ONSLAUGHT

The Administrators new bank
ing bill caught triple fire yester-
day as it was denounced in the
House as both too radical and not
radical enough, and in a Senate
subcommittee as leading to un'
controlled initiation.
Representative Lemke (R0, Of
North Dakota, declared that
farmers, not bankers, should frame
banking laws. He said:
"The banker only knows how
to reach out and grab.
what we need Is a central
bank to give solid credit, and
we should abolish the cOrroded
Federal Reserve System"
Before the Senate Banking Sub
committee Frank c. Ferguson.
president of the Hudson City Ma
tional Bank of Jersey City, de-
nounced the bill as giving the
Federal Reserve System political
powers over every small bank in
the nation. He added:
1T does not solve our prob
lem. 1t means there can be pO-
litical manipulation of the
banking mechanism Of the en-
tire nation through vast powers
given the Reserve board to re-
discount paper ard it leads to
uncontrolled initiation.
w. j. Field, president of the
Commercial Trust Company Of
Jersey City, advocated central
mortgage bank to discount slow
paper, to supply quick cash in
time Of bank runs.
In the House Representative
Fiesinger Cd, of Ohio, said the
bill does not go far enough.
The chief discussion was over
title two, which centralizes credit
control in a strengthened Federal
Reserve Board.

ON RECKLESS
MOTORISTS

SILVER SPRING, Md, May 8.
Speeders and non-heeders of stop
signs, beware!
Members of the Montgomery
county police force stationed at
the Silver Spring sub-station, act
ing on an order from County
Commissioner Paul M. Coughlan,
today will begin an intensive
drive against violators OF the
county and State speed and stop
&gn ordinances.
Although the increase in fatal
and serious accidents in this area
has been slight during the last
few months, many local civic
and educational organizations
have protested to Commissioner
Coughlan against the failure of
motorists to obey stop signs and
excessive speed through this
thickly populated section of the
county.
Particular emphasis will be
brought to bear during this drive
on Georgia and Sligo Avenues
and the Colesville Road, areas
from which a majority of the
complaints have been received.
When asked today if any
9avoritism would be shown to
high ranking county residents
and officials during this drive,
through the well-known ticket
fixing" method, Commissioner
Coughlan said.
"If there has been any ticket
fixing in my section of the
county during my term in Of
flee 1 know nothing about it.
And there won't be any this
time, either, for you cannot ex-
pect an officer to enforce the
law if the offender has only to
bring his ticket to a county Of
ficial to have it taken care Of.

crime in the Capital.
Despite the fact that he was

Last night he reported the

The car bore both congress
