Of the pistols number which had

possibility except a weapon shipped

the hardware dealer who placed 1t
on sale was not disclosed. st. Louis
police were asked to investigate.
Fired One Of Shots
Ballistics experts said the revolt

Two divorce petitions, both my

court today.
Elizabeth Palumbo DelFino
seeks a divorce from Aristide Del
Elmo, on an allegation OF intoler-
able cruelty. She also wants to
change Ter name to Elizabeth Pa
Jumbo. The couple was married
at Brooklyn, New York, May %,
1886.
Desertion Is alleged in the 9TH
er action, brought by Marie Thu
beau against Vital Thibeau. The
couple was married July 10, 1918
and separated in December, 1924.
Custody Of 16 year old daughter
is also asked by the petitioner.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-02-24

The court must affirm or reverse
the decisions Of a federal district
Judge holding constitutional taxes
assessed under the oil dage assist
ance and unemployment insurance
provisions Of the act.
In the AAA case, the court re-
versed a district judges decision
and subsequently was upheld by the
supreme court.
Now at stake in two cases, the
first in the nation to reach a cir
cult court, are these taxes:
/. An excise tax on payrolls
levied under the acts Title Nine
unemployment insurance..
2. A tax on employees deducted
by employers under Title Eight (old
age assistance).
3. A tax on employers equal 10
the total Of that Of their employees,
also under Title Eight.
Second Point Ruled Out
The first and third taxes have
been held constitutional by District
Judge George G. Sweeney, Roose-
welt appointee and a former assist
ant U. s. attorney general. He de-
clined to rule on the second on
grounds the plaintiff had no stand
ing to question its constitution
ality.
Plaintiff in both cases is George
p. Davis of Waltham. In the first
suit, he seeks to restrain the Bos-
ton 81 Maine railroad from paying
the payroll ltax under Title Nine.
In the second, he asks the court
to restrain the Edison Electric
Illuminating company Of Boston
from paying the employers and en-
ployes' taxes under Title Eight.
Davis Is stakeholder In both cor
pora tons.
Sitting in judgment are Scott
Wilson, James M. Morton, Jr., and
George H. Bingham. In the AAA
case, Judge Morton declined to sit
because, as a mill Official, he was
an interested party. In his place
was District Judge George F. Nor
rlS, OF New Hampshire.
Early Decisions Expected
Early decisions we're anticipated
In both cases. First payment-for
January-under Title Eight Is due
February %. First paymept-for
the calendar year 1936-under Title
Nine Is due April !.
The government has been per-
mitted to intervene as defendant
in both cases. Assistant Attorney
General Robert H. Jackson Of Wash
ington argued for the government
at hearings.
AS counsel for Davis, Edward F.
McClennen, frock-coated, white
haired attorney, commended the taxes
we're utterly absurd, capricious and
non-uniform." He commended that
Davis had right to question the
constitutionality Of the Title Eight
tax on employees because the tax
actually was paid by the employer
who in, turn reimbursed himself by
deducting from employees pay
checks.
General Welfare Clause Cited
Judge Sweeney ruled, however,
that the employers and payroll
taxes came under the general well
fare clause Of the constitution and
were uniform and valid.
Az to the tax on employees, the
district court said:
The Edison company Is simply
an agency for the collection Of taxes
assessed against It's employees and
Is not subject to the tax. The cor
poration has no standing to chal-
lenge It's validity and therefore
Davis cannot challenge the validity
as he is stakeholder and as
stakeholder has no more standing
than the corporation"
