SESSION ENDS
WHIT TAXES
CONTINUED from, Page -

(ContInued from rage ~
Senator Harrison D.) of Missis-
sippi, agreed to call the Senate
into session at 10 a. m. later in the
week in the interests Of speed. In.
creasingly bright prospects for
early action on the tax bill brought
them to the decision that they will
ask night sessions only in the
event Of a filibuSter. Some Sen
ators indicated this idea was
agreed upon particularly to block
any delay by Senator Huey p.
Long.
Latest reports received by Sen
atorS Harrison and Robinson led
them to believe that the new tax
bill, carrying out President RooSe-
Velt'S recommendations and strip
ped of controversial levieS on lower
bracket incomes, will meet little
opposition.
The plan of Senator vanden.
berg (R0 of Michigan, to move to
recommit the tax bill formed one
obstacle, but there was little
chance of its carrying.
Privately. there was an informal
agreement among Republicans to
record their opposition to the tax
bill and do little more.
Leaders on both the Democratic
and Republican sides were still
hoping for adjournment by Sat-
urday, but this was unlikely.

Dodecanese Isles Placed
Under italian Martial Law

ATHENS. Aug. IA GN.SO.
italy is enforcing martial law in
the strategic Dodecanese Islands
off the coast Of Asia Minor, and
the population - once promised
local autonomy-is being severely
controlled, advice received here to-
day state.
A blockade has been imposed so
rigidly that even the metropolitans
of the Greek church in Leros,
Celymnos, and Carpathos have
been refused permission to leave.
Leros has been converted into
q fortress bristling with guns, and
Rhodes is used as hospital base
for troops taken i'll in Africa.
No one is permitted to debark
at Leros, nor may invalids leave
the island to visit specialists
abroad. All motor vessels and
many houses on Rhodes and Leros
have been reQuisitioned for the
sick from Eritrea.
The islands, mostly populated
by Greeks, were turned over to
Italy after the World War, under
an understanding, since aband-
doned, that they would eventually
be restored to Greece.

After an hours futile question
ing of Hill, which developed only
that Hopson travelled around by
automobile and did not register at
hotels. in order to evade the Sen
ate'S process server, Senator Black
recessed his hearing and an
nounced:
''This thing has gone far
enough, and we don't intend to
put up with it any longer. I'm
less this attitude ceases we will
cite HOpsOn for contempt Of the
Senate"
Senators SchweIlenbach CD,
Washington, and Frazier (RO,
North Dakota, echoed Senator
Blacks statement, and Senator
Frazier observed he thought both
HopSon and his attorney were
guilty of criminal libel" He did
not elaborate on that remark.
Soon after the Black committee
recessed, Mccarthy succeeded in
serving HopSon with the Senate's
subpoena.
Hill admitted he had known Of
Hopson'S whereabouts for 10 days
but didn't think it was his duty
to tell the Senate committee on
his previous appearance before it
He also admitted Hopson knew
the committee was looking for
him.
Meanwhile, Hopson was explain
ing his evasion of appearance in
washington because Of his
health"
It was disclosed that Hopsor
has been at a hotel in Alexandria
for the past few days. Prior tt
that he was in Spring Lake, N. j.
Gettysburg, Pa, Warrenton, Va.
and Culpeper, Va.
Talk to Lawyer
Hill said Hopson, himself anc
a Detective Birmingham spent
last evening at the home Of
g. K. Munson, one of Hopson'S
Washington lawyers. He SAID
they had discussed the case, but
he couldn't remember any Of the
conversation. Senator Black said;
you mean to say that you
can't remember q conversation
only IL hours Old?"
II can't tell you, Senator"
When Hopson left the hearing
room Mccarthy. the Senate agent
followed him outside. He said:
"I am directed to serve this
on you, MIR. HopSOn."
Amid flashlights from horde
Of news photographers, HopSon
accepted the subpoena.
None of the policemen OF
House committee employees who
escorted HopSon to an elevator
made any attempt to prevent
service of the summons, as they
! did Yesterday.

This family and business ar

difficulties between Mr.. and Mrs.
Reisman. Lately Mr.. Reisman
had proposed a separation, offer"

police said. After arguing about
this late last night, Mr.. Reisman
angrily stalked out of the house
to his car.
Miss Seigh, Annette and Mrs
Reisman tried vainly to get him
back in the house. Then, at about
2 a. m, Mrs. Reisman rushed into
the house, snatched up a revolver
from Mr.. ReiSman'S desk and the
shooting followed.
Wife in Despair
The wife was a picture of blank
despair when police arrived. De-
tective Thomas Kenney's first
question was:
"Why did you do it?"
"He told me they loved each
other"
"What good will 1t do you?
The girl Is dead now"
"Oh! I don't care any longer.
I've lost everything"
Arthur Reisman, jr.. nine, slept
through the shooting. But he was
awakened by the ensuing commo'
ton and was heard crying in his
room when police led Mrs. Refs
man away.

Mrs. Reisman was to be arraigned

Italy to debate the impending

using them against Ethiopia.
"There is no manufacture OF

LEWD PAPERS
OPENLY SOLD
INCAP|TAL
Des pite Censorship,
Risque Literature
Easily Obtained

Despite q So-caIled vigorous
censorship of salacious publica-
tons, a survey by The Washing
ton Times today disclosed that
lewd magazines are readily OBJ
tainable at legitimate news
stands throughout the city.
There is no attempt at hiding
the various "racy" publications.
A reporter asked a dealer:
"HaVe you any hot stories?
I have a sick friend who likes
that sort of stuff"
Instead Of bringing out hidden
copies from q back shelf. he
answered:
"sure, look them over. they're
out front"
Two magazines with brightly
colored covers we're displayed.
Illustrations showing mclad
women were freely sprinkled
through the publications.
Sell To Children
The dealer was asked:
do you sell these to kids"
Without hesitation, he declared:
"Why. Of course. we sell them
to anybody. Say, listen, kids
nowadays know more than you
or 1"
Printed under the guise OF
mystery and detective stories, the
two magazines contain sadiSt1c
fiction with perversion themes.
In the center of one Of the pub
fications q double page was de-
voted to a cartoon Of q feminine
sleuth whose d ete ctive work
seemed to require an extreme
state of undress.
Ads Risque
Advertisements carried by the
magazines were frequently in
keeping with the printed matter
and illustrations. One OF them
was headed:
Here's how! to get q kick
out Of Mfe."
Another advertised motion pic
lures to be shown privately. The
title of the film was:
"The Private Life Of o Bur-
lesque Queen"
Some of tn: magazines are more
daring than popular publications
from Paris.
At another downtwon magazine
stand the publications were OF
more conservative appearance.
However the table Of contents con-
tanned such titles as "A Maiden
Lady's Plea" and "She Wants
Hubby Back"
Lewd Sketches
A good natured vendor an
swered the request for "hot"
stories by saying:
"What do you want to corrupt
your morals fOr?"
However the stand on which he
worked prominently displayed
various questionable types. He
said:
There's plenty in them to
keep you awake at night. They
haven't photographs in them,
but just look at the sketches"
The magazines, although wide.
ly distributed, have so disguised
one local distributor that he re.
fused to handle them. He pointed
out that he returned all copies of
the lewd publications to the pub.
fishers with instructions not to
send him any more like them.
Police Surprised
Lieut.. George M. Little, com.
mander of the Police Department
vice squad, expressed surprise
that such publications were being
sold. He said precinct captains
were supposed to check news
stands and to bar lewd publica-
tons. He said:
whenever I see something
of that nature, / personally
take action. didn't know
that magazine stands were sell.

noses"
The squad commander said
that he would order his men to
investigate the sale Of all QueS-

Just prior to the serving Of the
picnic lunch at noon special meet
ing of the newly-for1ned Four
County Game organization was held
Talks were given by several prom
inent sportsmen during the pro-

r. w. Caldwell, former president
of the county game club, explained
Monday that the county plan
ming council, of which he is a
member, Is studying the matter of
ditch screening as a means of re-
ducing the heavy annual loss OF
game fish during each irrigataion
season.
The screening problem, lengthily
discussed by the four-county game
club members Sunday, is one of
the most vital facing sportsmen in
this county today, he declared.
Mr.. Caldwell said that he had
been reliably informed that humid
reds of large bass and trout from
Pearagin lake were being lost in the
irrigation bitches fed by the lake.
The dish are dumped in orchards
along the bitches in such large
quantity that farmers use them for
hog feed, he declared.
Mr.. Caldwell said that a survey
of the situation would be made and
the matter presented to the state
planning council and the state
game department.. He urged all coun-
ty sports1nen to support the work
and said that the survey would in
clude both the Methow river and
the Conconully reservoir.
A meeting of the four-county or
ganization has been called for Aug
ust to discuss the ditch screening
problem.
