pleasure in no uncertain terms
at the numerous continuances
granted since the 69-year-old
former Treasury official was in.
dicted in connection with the col
lapse of the Park Savings Bank.
At that time, Justice O'Donoghue
declared that in spite of all other
circumstances the trial would be
set today and would take prece-
dence over all other matters in his
court.
Conspiracy Is Charge
The indictment against Mr..
Grayson accuses him Of conSpiring
with Robert S. Stun, executive
vice president of the bank. who
since committed suicide, to cover
defalcations of Stun and bank
employees, which enabled the bank
to continue operation over a long
period of time while it was in an
inSolvent condition.
Specifically, it is alleged that
Mr.. Grayson would give StunZ
advance information that bank
examiners were on their way to
examine the banks books, thereby
enabling StunZ to arrange en-
tries to cover the banks short
ages.
Attorneys william E. Leahy,
William J. Hughes, jr., Rudolph
H. Yeatman and George B. Fraser
joined in a motion for q contin-
uance today.
The motion was accompanied
by an affidavit Of Mr.. Leahy in
which he swore that, because OF
his clients extreme illness, he
has never been permitted to inter
view him and concluded with the
statement that "if this defendant
is placed on trial he will go with
out any defense and that this az
fiant will be rendered helpless to
conduct any defense of him be-
cause of his physical illness which
has been constant, continuous and
progressive since the first occa-
sion upon which he met his client
down to the present time"
Five Examine Him
It was revealed for the first
time that the two physicians who
examined Mr.. GraySon at the di-
rection of the Government Satur-
day were accompanied by three
other physicians who made ex-
aminations at the instance Of the
defense.
Government physicians were
Drs. John E. Lind and James A.
Lyons. The defense physicians
were Drs. Frank Leach, James W.
Esler and Walter A. Bloedorn.
Their findings, as we'll as those Of
two personal physicians to Mr..
Grayson in Charlottesville, were
uniformly to the effect that trans
porting this patient to Washing
ton, and requiring him to appear
in court, would be q distinctly
hazardous procedure, jeopardizing
even life ITSELF"

Arrest Order Out
For GraySOn

Mr.. Leahy explained that for
the past two months. despite the
best efforts Of attending physi
clans to restore his vitality, Mr.
Grayson has been able to sit up
not more than 20 minutes at a
time.
Justice ODonoghue declined to
allow any of the physicians to
testify and said:
"This defendant has had more
than ample chances to come to
court and plead guilty, If he is
guilty, or prove his innocence,
IL he Is innocent.
ct is better for one person to
die In the administration Of
justice than for the public to
lose confidence in the admin
istratiOn of Justice"

users of the machines were re-

cards from the machine manu-

Monopoly Charged
Not sold, but rented, the ma
chimes were contracted for, &C.
cording to the charges presented
in the New York Court, on the
stipulation that if the tabulating
cards were not purchased from
the companies which made and
owned them, the machine rental
would be increased. The Rem

international Business Machine
Corporation, it was alleged, had
obtained a virtual mDlopoly OF
the tabulating machine market

rental restrictions, Of the tabu

Three years litigation led to the
New York decision, which took
the form Of a consent decree un

agreed to end the practices which
formed the basis of the Govern

HOUSE LEADERS
NERVOUS OVER
TAX PUZZLE
Chiefs and BIocs Grid
For Court, Initiation
And Other Battles
By WILLIAM S. NEAL
international News Service

House leaders today girded
themselves for a series Of fights
over the supreme Court, initiation
and economy, with the possibility
of a huge new tax bill casting =
disturbing shadow over the body.
The battls to curb power of the
Supreme Court, and perhaps to
pave the way for a constitutional
amendment, was slated to get un-
der way this week.
The "anti-court bloc" said to
number about so Of the ABS mem.
bers, planned to propose new bills
to prevent the court from scrap
ping such programs as NRA and
AAA.'
Leaders Await President
Democratic leaders Of the
House, however, thus far have
given little encouragement to
blasts against the high court.
Many powerful Southern Demo
cratic members either privately
defend the court or protest against
any movement to curb its powers.
In any event, they favor awaiting
word from President Roosevelt.
Representative Sisson Cd, Of
New York, one of the "anti court
bloc" plans to introduce a bill
prohibiting the court frc de-
claring unconstitutional acts of
Congress which are based upon
the interstate commerce, general
welfare, due process, and tax
clauses Of the constitution.
Representative Gross CD, of
Texas, another leader in the move
ment, declared that Congress has
authority under the constitution
to prohibit the court from de-
claring acts of Congress unconsti.

FINANCE UPSET
LIKELY TO
RESULT
Ruling On Processing
Levies and IVA Are
Awaited Today
International News Service

International News Service
The Roosevelt administration
again looked anxiously toward the
Supreme Court today.
The high court, reconvening for
decisions, may hand down rulings
on constitutionality Of the TenneS
see Valley authority act CTVA)
and decide whether the govern
ment will have to pay back over
1000 million dollars in PROCESSING
taxes.
The court also has before it o
case in which constitutionality OF
the Bankhead cotton act Is at.
tackled.
May Upset q. s. Finances
A ruling against the Govern.
ment in the Rice millerS case, in
which provisions Of the amended
AAA are attacked, may upset Gov
eminent finances.
2. Two questions are involved.
One is whether Federal courts had
power to enjoin processing taxes.
More than 1900 injunctions were
issued before tn. high court spoke
: on the AAA, and over 200 million
dollars in processing taxes was
paid into the courts to await q
, ruling on constitutionality Of the
, law.
Should the high court rule that
" the lower courts had authority to
s., issue the injunctions, the 200 mil
lions would be paid back TO the
professors. # the court rules
. otherwise, the money will go into
:. the Treasury.
= The second question is constr
tutionality of a provision OF the
amended AAA requiring process
sors to prove that they did not
pass the processing tax on to
the consumer or take it out OF
the farmer before they can re-
cover.
+. Many professors assert that 1t
: Is impossible for them to make
the proof, and the Government
would therefore retain between
800 millions and 900 millions In
processing taxes collected under
an unconstitutional law.
Should the high court hold
that the provision deprived the
professors of an adequate remedy
at law, the Government would
, be forced to refund all process
+. ing taxes.
Power Program at stake
: A decision on validity Of iva.
challenged by group Of stock
olders of the Alabama oower
d. Company, is expected either to-
day or in the near future.
The third phase Of the RooSe'
welt national planning program
power development-iS involved
3. in this case.
Some lawyers expected the high
court to restrict it's decision to
Wilson Dam at Muscle Shoals and
leave the general question Of va
lidity of the huge power scheme
for future decisions.
There was a growing belief.
however, that the court would
hold that Congress in this case
has attempted to go beyond the
bounds of the Constitution, and
: scrap the whole program.
:, The court was expected to grant
the petition Of the Government
for review of a decision Of Fed
eral district court in Michigan
/. that the Government could not
+; condemn land for slum clearance
and low-cost housing. The Gov
;. eminent suffered the setback in
! seeking condemnation Of land in
/. Detroit.
Another case, involving the same
question, already Is before the
court. It arose when the Govern
ment tried to condemn land for
q housing project in Louisville.

opposing a motion made by
Keogh.
Keogh made a long, wild plea
to the court. When he had fin
ished Judge PrystalSki heard Kin

motion.
Suddenly, according to court
room witnesses, Keogh fired at
the judge, apparently shooting
from his pocket. Kinney grap-
pied with him and struck him.
Keogh then drew his gun and
shot Kinney, who fell dead with
q bullet in his heart. The gun
man continued shooting, empty

behind the bench and escaped
injury.
