of 1886. Mr.. Sadur had been en-
ployed by the Warnings to prepare
their income taxes, according to
undisputed evidence
The revenue agent said they made
the visit at the suggestion of Mr.
Sadur and Emmit Warning, in an
effort to compute his income.
I'VE asked Emmitt Warning If
we could count the cash in the
safe" the witness recalled, "and
he made no objection. 1t amounted
to approximately 100000
When Assistant United States
Attorney John j. Wilson asked if
anything else was found, the wit
ness said: Eyes, Mr.. Warning pulled
out part of a diamond necklace
which he said was security on a
loan to Mrs. Eddie Killeen"
Killeen Killed.
Killeen, gambler. had been
killed the year before. Later in
the testimony Mr.. Wilson brought
out from the Federal agent that
Emmitt one time said he had bor-
rowed 100000 from Killeen and
"other sums" from Sam Melinkov,
another gambler who met death
from gunshot wounds.
Later in the examination of Mr.
Leese, the tax accountants were
brought into the case directly for
the first time. The witness said
Mr.. Sadur was questioned at the
Intelligence Unit Office concerning
the protection money which Emmitt
said he had paid. If. as Warning
had told the revenue officials, he
had paid out $4,000 during 1885
for immunity from arrest, he oper-
ated at net loss, Mr.. Leese said
he explained to the accountant.
Warned Against Deduction.
"Sadur said he would talk of
adjusting that" Mr.. Leese testified
He said the protection money was
not included in the total of ex-
penses, but he would fix it. 1 ex-
planned that protection was not an
allowable deduction under depart
ment regulations. Sadur picked up
a red pencil and added $4,000 to
the column of expenditure, adding
the word pro beside the figure"
At later conversation, the wit
ness recalled, John Cox. chief spe-
cial agent of the Intelligence Unit,
asked Mr.. Sadur if he knew protec-
ton was not an allowable deduction,
and the accountant said he did.
Mr. Rover, taking UP cross s-exam-
ination of the witness, challenged the
assertion that protection was not de-
ductible He said there was a Court
of Appeals decision indicating it
was.
Thus was forecast probable legal
battle over whether the Warnings
could properly have deducted sums
which they claimed to have paid
out for immunity.

To Effect Greatest

By the Associated Press.
The greatest commercial accord
In recent history. embracing a total
American trade of $l,500, 900, 900
year. was ready today for signature
by high officials of the United
States, Great Britain and Canada.
Formal ceremonies for concluding
the reciprocal agreements, apex OF
Secretary of State Hull's CONNER
cial program. were arranged for 4
pm. In the famous East Room of
the White House.
Prime Minister w. L. Mackenzie
King of Canada, Sir Ronald Lind
say, the towering British Ambassa-
dor. and Secretary Hull were desig-
mated to sign the bulky documents
for their governments and to make
short speeches extolling the pacts
as an aid to world peace.
During a two-day visit here Prime
Minister Mackenzie King also is
expected to confer with President
Roosevelt on the latter's plans for
mutual defense of the Western
Hemisphere.
With relations between the United
States and Germany strained over
Nazi violence against the Jews, the

appeared destined to bring the
United States and Britain closer
together and to push Germany still
farther away.

States economic blacklist because
of her determinations against
American trade, is not eligible for
the same tariff reductions granted
Britain under the new agreement
AS a result. her exports to the

Some officials believed the treaty
might act as restraining force on
Germany. perhaps inducing Adolf
Hitler not only to quell anti-Semitic
outbreaks, but also to seek a similar
trade agreement with the United
States.
Secretary Hull was visibly pleased
over conclusion of the pacts with
Great Britain and Canada bringing

lie utilities. Maj Donovan con-
tinued:
The expansion in the functions of
local government and in the in
crease in the demand for govern
mental services have continued to
expand the District budget. Public
utilities. like all other taxed enter
prises, must face the problem of
increased taxation to meet the ex-
penses of government. While it is not
the desire of those in charge of
making this study, and the Ad-
visory Committee working with
them, to burden public utilities with
excessive taxation, it is felt that
they must bear their fair share of
the tax burden.
Accordingly there is under con-
sideration proposal to bring the
public utilities within corporation
net income tax and to supplement
this by special tax on gross re-
ceipts to compensate for the special
privileges which the public utilities
enjoy.
While no final decision has been
reached. it may be assumed, for
purposes of discussion, that the net
income tax will be based on the
Federal tax base at a fiat rate of
per cent, and that the gross
receipts tax will amount to per
cent"
He then explained that the gross
receipts tax would supplant the
present taxes on gross receipts and
gross earnings, with the following
changes:
/. There will be no deduction for
the cost of raw materials.
2. The tax would apply only to
receipts from within the District.
3. 1t will apply only to sales of
public utilities services or COM
modities
Present Levies Listed.
The Capital Transit Co. now pays
4 per cent tax on gross receipts
from street railway operations in
the District. The telephone COM
pany pays 4 per cent tax on
gross earnings. Since this is a
service utility gross earnings are
not identical with gross receipts,
Maj. Donovan explained. The gas
company pays tax of per cent
on gross earnings. Under the law
the company is allowed to deduct
the cost of raw materials used in
producing gas. The company, how
ever, now is paying gross receipts
tax on the sale of appliances
amounting to about 5 per cent of
its total gross earnings.
The power company pays 4 per
cent tax on gross earnings. The COM
pany is allowed to deduct the cost
of raw materials used in manufac-
turing electricity. The company pays
a gross earnings tax on its receipts
from Maryland, which constitutes
about 10 per cent of the total Mai.
Donovan said.
Members of the Advisory Commit
tee, in addition to Maj Donovan,
are the following District officials:
Corporation Counsel Elwood H. Seal.
Assessor Fred D. Allen, 10 v. Nor
gan of the Districts Board of Tax
Appeals and Richmond B. Keech,

Commission, and the following
