Local Man Is Sent To Lewisburg P P'enitentiary
Convicted on White Slave Charges in Federal Court;
 Local Chinese Get Stay to October 5

Convicted on charges of "white slavery, Harry Pelletier, 38, of Is Savings street, was sentenced to four wears in the federal penitentiary at Eewisburg, Pa, yesterday in federal court, New Haven, by Judge Car roll o.

East Mountain Course e Closing Not Set-Up to
 Weatherman

In order to comply with the wish- es of golfers who take their respec- tive games very seriously, seriously enough to keep batting the pill around until the extreme cold re- minds them to look at the calendar. the park department has announced that the municipal course at East Mountain will have no official clos- ing date.
 Officials found out last year that @ number of local golfers wanted to play until November 1. In fact from October IS until November 1, 1886, no less than 578 nine-hole rounds were checked off at the Mu- nicipal course. There have been some rumors that many of these people were sneaking football out onto the course during that time and forsaking golf about the fifth hole to work out in that fashion, but the department could never really determine the truth of this suspicion. ..
 In the meantime it has also been reported that the local course this year is 2,4l5 rounds ahead fof the 1886 record to date. Last year at this time 2l,048 nine-hole rounds had been played and so far this year there have been 23,463 trips made about the course. The increase Is due, it is reported, to the fact that the additional nine holes opened for play this season made for less de- lay in starting the players off.
 So at the present time no one really knows when the municipal golf course will close for the season. It seems to be up to the weather man and to the persistency of those people who play until snow inter- feres with sighting the ball.

internal revenue bureau inspectors Uho have scrutinized thousands of tax returns in an effort to ferret out methods used to escape federal levels.
 MCrgenthau said the immediate objective in the present emergency is practical tax legislation" but said he hoped that continued publicity which hearings of this sort give with respect to the game of tax avoidance may help to create an atmosphere in which men will hesitate to use artificial devices to avoid payment of taxes"
 Most of the individuals using avoidance methods believe the meth eds are socially legitimate" Nor genthau said.
 'They profess complete personal Responsibility, contending that if their methods are wrong it is the duty of the tax administration to ferret them out and to conduct long and expensive litigation in order to determine their validity" he said. "The individual believes that he is morally entitled to take the sporting chance and that he has nothing to lose and everything to gain by talk ing it."
 How It Affects Revenue
 Morgenthau said the tax avoid Ance devices affected the govern ment's revenue in the following ways:
 l. They create belief that rich men with expensive attorneys do not have to pay taxes. He declared that no one can possibly calculate how many of the petty evasions are due to the belief that cleverness rather than fairness is proper criterion of the taxpayer" Tax ethics, he said, generally today are where business ethics and trade practices were "in the '90's."
 2. In the highly competitive sit- uation" existing among expert tax attorneys, methods spread rapidly and tax avoidance increases without realization of the extent of revenue Impairment until the end of the tax able year.

to have been negligent in the ope:- ation of his car which hit the little boy.
 If Judge Wynne had upheld the demurrer, the suit would have been dismissed from the court.
 Comment of Judge
 In overruling the demurrer Judge Wynne commented, Tt is fine spun theory that does credit to the ingenu- ity of counsel, but court is per- suaded to feel that the complaint as drawn cannot fairly be attacked by demurrer. The demurrer is there fore overruled."
 The demurrer of the city stated that the city was under no legal duty to install traffic lights or to mark crosswalks with yellow or other color paint, or to have policemen to gov ern traffic. It continued that the only possible liability the city could have had was in failing to remedy the condition, and in this they claimed government immunity.
 Answering this claim Judge Wynne referred to the case of Hoffman against Bristol which he said was the case authority for the proposi- ton that a municipality can be he'd liable for injuries caused by nui- sance which it is responsible for causing or maintaining. In this case, he said, 1t was determined that Connecticut is not fettered com pletely by Government immunity.
 Continuing. Judge Wynne said, however, Court is not called upon to agree with the plaintiffs point that the defendant in permitting the, crosswalk to be obliterated and the traffic lights to remain un- lighted, or in combination, created 6 nuisance"
 Future hearing of the case, which will be by jury, was considered py Judge Wynne, when he said, "The court can envisage the embarrass- ment which will yet confront the plaintiffs theory when 1t comes to khe nice balancing of the related questions of negligence on the part r the motor vehicle operator and M@ practical extenuation of the nanne by the claim he was not receiv- Ing warnings to which he was entitled

By occupying this junction the nationalists have cut off many thou sands of loyalists in, the area south of Bilbao. They can no longer reach the city and they must retreat west ward on secondary roads, unstable for troop movements.
 Loyalists Resisting
 Yet the loyalists continued to re- sist stoutly. All through the area outside the city there can be heard on occasion the crackle of rifle fire and the burst of hand grenades which means that close range fight ing by infantry is going on. The loyalist resistance seems conducted entirely by infantry. There are no loyalist airplanes and no loyalist artillery has been heard.
 estimate that as I write the most advanced nationalist troops, here at the southeast corner of the city, are between two and three miles from the center of the city.
 The unexpected determination of the loyalists resistance at the last barriers has slowed the nationalist occupation. The word today is that Bilbao may not be actually occupied this week but nationalist leaders are certain that, using every pre- caution against over-extension of their lines. they will be in the city early next week.

Morgenthau ReDeaLs HOw TaxesAreD Dodged

3. ''Vested interests grow up in tax avoidance devices in the course of time so that they receive a semi respectable standing and become dif- ficult to change. This factor makes quick action advisable to decapitate new schemes before they achieve the force and responsibility of law. ,
 4. When tax avoidance methods become an accepted part of the tax law, any attempt 70 change them is "heralded as persecution of the rich" Morgenthau contended that it would be for the benefit of the rich" to plug loopholeS in the reven- ue act, since more revenue is raised without the necessity for increasing rates.
 5. The tax methods cost the gov- ernment huge sums which congress never actually meant to give away and create continual and expensive litigation.
 Three CategOries
 Morgenthau divided into three principal categories the schemes which are being devised, copied and initiated today"
 First" he said, there is the de- vice of making the taxpayer a null tiple personality whose characters deal with each other.
 Second, there is 8 variation on that device by which the taxpayer deals with his family at arms-length and creates taxable losses out of the performance of personal obligations which he owes to them. He takes his wife into partnership with him. He splits his income between himself and his children instead of main- taining them.
 "The third device is one where the individual doing business in this country makes it appear by a series of corporate personalities which he controls that he is actually doing business abroad in some country where he cannot be taxed. In other words, transfers of title which might result in taxable income are made to appear to have occurred outside the United States"
 45,OOO Attorneys
 He pointed out that 2,800 field tax investigators for the government are pitted against bar of 45,000 regis tered attorneys and tax accountants.
 Among the most resourceful brains" of the legal world, Morgen- thau said, were men who received their early training from the govern ment, and "who use the skill they acquired in that service against the younger men who take their places "
 Thus, he added, the government becomes training school for many of its legal opponents. He stressed that the tax lawyers fees exceed by thousands of per cent" the pay of government tax lawyers.
