probation Office and asked Assistant
Probation Officer Joseph Sanford
what had become OF his case.
How in the world did you get

"Oh, I just walked" replied Brani-

CRIME DISCUSSED
BY JUDGE CURRAN
Punishment Not Answer to Our
Problem. He Tells
Club.

punishment is not the answer TO our
crime problem, Police Court Judge
Edward NJ Curran said yesterday in
talk before the Cosmopolitan Club
at the Carlton Hotel
Speaking on Crime and Justice in
Its Relation to the Police Court of
the District" Judge Curran made a
plea for the support Of clubs and
civic organiza tions in his efforts
toward procedural reorganization OF
the court.
Most of the 1888, ,526 major crimes
committed annually in the United
States are by criminals who started
their career with petty of1enses han
died by police courts, the jurist de-
clared.
Crime does not start with the
commission of felonies and major
offenses," he said. but with the petty
crimes prosecuted and disposed OF in
court that many people think is a
Joke-the police court. Many a youth
convicted in police court of stealing
necktie is likely under the present
system to find himself some years
later convicted of murder or robbery"
He said many judges and proSecu-
tors are more interested in making
good records for themselves than they
are in the administration of justice.
To remedy such conditions Judge
Curran said he believes changes
should be made in the present system
OF dealing with small offenses. Chief
OF these would be the establishment
OF behavior clinic, consisting of
psychiatrists. social workers and pro-
baton officials, who would make a
thorough investigation into the Of
tenders physical and psychological
condition. his family and environ
mental background, and would study
means of restoring the petty criminal
to society This would mean that the
attitude taken would be one of treat
ment' rather than punishment.
Without such clinic judges are
merely guessing in many cases when
they decide to send a man to jail on
no more of basis than that Of his
previous record and the facts of the
onenSe,' he stated.
Other reforms he suggested include
the appointment Of public defender,
who would represent INDECENT per-
sons; changing the name Police
Court to one which would be more
accurate and less suggestive" and the
establishment of a uniform system OF
fines and penalties in trafic cases.

TAX AVOIDANCE
BILL AGREED UPON
House Committee Will Ap-
prove Measure to Close
Law LoophoIes.
BY the Associated Press.


The House Ways and Means Com
mittee agreed today to approve later
in the afternoon a measure to close
tax-law loopholes.
Chairman Doughton said the bill
would be introduced this afternoon and
the committee would meet again to act
on 1t. He said he expected to call it
up in the House Monday.
The bill, he said, should yield s75,-
900 900 to 500 100000 Of new revenue
and save untold hundreds of millions"
that might be lost through loopholes.
Measure Far Reaching.
The measure would apply sitter tax
treatment TO domestic and foreign per-
sonal holding corporations, incorporat-
ed yachts, country estates and personal
talents, multiple trusts, nonresident
aliens and to persons who use artificial
deductions for losses from sales or ex-
changes Of property or for interest and
business expense.
Recommendation of the Senate
House Committee on Tax Evasion and
Avoidance were written into the bill
virtually intact. There were only two
major changes
One would retain, instead of elimi-
nate, a provision OF present law al
lowing personal holding companies to
make unlimited deductions for tax
purposes for amounts used or set aside
to retire debts incurred prior to 1894
Conflict Is Avoided.
The other provides that the pro-
posed tax law revisions shall not con-
f1ict with tax treaty negotiated with
Canada.
Under the treaty, S per cent
withholding tax may be applied to
income derived by Canadians from
American sources. as against 10 per
cent for other aliens
The new measure also would sub
ject to normal and surtaxes the net
incomes Of aliens-except Canadians
who obtain such income In excess Of
$2l 500 from American sources These
aliens also would be required to file
American tax returns.
