DEFENSE LOSES
OIL CASE PLEA

MADISON, Wis, Jan. II Q.N.S0
The defense in the oil conspiracy
case here retained only a slight
chance today of showing the Gov
ernment once approved of Stabiliz-
ing gasoline prices.
Lawyers representing the major
oil company officials on trial in
Federal court have tried for weeks
to introduce evidence that the al
legged "price-fixing" as a violation
of the antitrust laws was endorsed
by the Government under the
NRA.
Federal Judge Patrick T. Stone
last night rejected all but two
such offers of proof and those he
took under advisement.
The documentary exhibits which
still have a chance to be shown
to the jury were a report of Sec
retary of Interior Ickes in 1885,
stating gasoline prices had reached
their desired parity" as a result
of sterilization activities and trans
cripts of testimony given by Ickes
and others before the Senate ano
House committees where gasoline
prices were discussed.

PAY INCREASE
BILLS WEIGHED
BY SENATE UNIT
BuIoW Committee Takes
Up Proposals
By THEODORE HUNTLEY

Pay increases for low-salaried
Government workers came a step
nearer today as the Senate Civil
Service Committee, under the
leadership of Chairman william
j. Bulow CD of South Dakota,
tackled the salary bills bottled up
in committee for months, in an
effort to reach some decision.
Senator Bulow indicated the
committee would probably act also
on the resolution introduced by
Senator Allen j. Ellender CD Of
Louisiana, authorizing appoint
ment Of a select Senate commit
tee to hear charges of favoritism
in the civil service.
In taking up the pay bills today,
the Senate committee got the
jump on the House, where Repre-
sentative Robert Ramspeck CD
of Georgia, chairman of the
House committee, was planning
to hold hearings soon on the
$1,000 minimum wage bill for Fed
eral workers.

TRAFFIC DRIVE

A Congressional campaign to
eliminate death from the streets
of Washington will be launched
tonight.
Enlisting the support of local
theaters, press and radio, Repre-
sentative William T. Schultz CD
of Indiana, chairman of the traf-
fic subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee, has announced
plans to make Washington "traf-
fic-consciouS."
Mr.. Schultz will hold meeting
tonight with Major Ernest w.
Brown, superintendent of police,
officials of local radio stations
and theaters and newspapermen,
to be followed sometime later this
week by another meeting to which
owners of two or more trucks
probably will be invited.

FOREIGN TAXES
NOT DEDUCT|BLE

G.N.S) The Supreme Court in
a 6-to-3 decision yesterday ruled
that Americans who receive divi-
dends from British corporations
on which the British income tax
has been withheld cannot deduct
the British tax in calculating
American income tax.
One ruling was rendered on the
appeal of Mrs. Mary Duke Biddle,
wealthy New Yorker, who was as
sessed an additional income tax
of $27,722, the Government refus-
ing to allow deduction.
In a second ruling the court up
held the Bureau of Internal rev.
enue in demanding $7,017 in
taxes from George w. Elkins, of
Elkins Park, Va, involving the
same issue.
Several million dollars in taxes
hung on the court ruling today,
many other taxpayers having
similar controversy with the Gov
ernment.
Justice Stone delivered the ma
jority decision. Justices Mercy
nolds, Sutherland and Butler dis
Sented.

i. S. Probes Plane
Crash Fatal to 10

route. Observers at the Billings
Airport reported "squall" condi-
tions during the afternoon.
w. R. Diteman, a rancher, who
lives within a half mile of the
scene of the crash, said heavy
winds had been sweeping the re-
gion but the sky was clear. He
said he saw the plane circling
low and then plunge nose down
ward beyond ridge.
SOUTH OF COURSE
A checkup showed it to have
been slightly south of its regular
course, but still within the band
of its radio beam.
1t took Diteman only a few
minutes to reach the wreck. The
plane, he said, had burst into
flames on striking and the heat
was so intense a close approach
was impossible. He said:
1T melted the snow for a
hundred feet around. There
wasn't a chance to get anybody
out. I think they had been
killed instantly anyway. The
wreck was so bad you could
hardly tell one patr of the plane
from another"
Diteman said he had heard the
plane flying toward him and was
attracted to it by the unusua
noise of it's engines:
There was a weird whiStling
sound. 1t seemed to flutter an
instant and then dived toward
the ground"

SPENDERS FACE
HOUSE DEFEAT IN.
ECONOMY DRIVE.
Fight Over IVA, NLRB
In Prospect
By WILLIAM S. NEAL

GN.S.) House Democratic lead
ers, victorious in their first clash
on the economy issue, today
planned to crush spending blocs"
and pass the 81 1,4O0,OO0,000 in
dependent offices supply bill as
recommended by the Appropria-
tions Committee.
The measure was described by
Representative Woodrum CD Of
Virginia, chairman of the appro-
priations subcommittee in charge
of the bill. as a test of the atti-
tude of the House on economy.
FUNDS SLASHED
In the first battle over expendi-
lures, the House approved the
Presidential budget recommends
ton for a $124,000,000 slash in
expenditures for Civilian Con-
servation Corps camps beginning
July l.
While Representative Jed John
son CD of Oklahoma. protested
that the cut would result in $4,000
youths being turned out of CCC
camps ION the highways and by
ways" the House, by a voice vote,
refused to increase the budget
figure.
A brisk fight over the IVA, Ma
tionaI Labor Relations Board and
expenditures for other agencies
was slated today before the meas
ure reaches final passage.
ASSAILS FLAT" CUTS
"This is the most important
appropriation bill we will have
because what the House does
on this bill depends whether we
can hold next years deficit to
the 100000 estimated by
the President" said Woodrum.
"If we can do that it will be a
step in the right direction.
IT have never been so optim-
istic as to believe that you can
balance the budget with wave
of the hand. 1t would be dan
gerous to cut deep enough to do
it in one year."
Opposing proposals for flat 10
and IS per cent cuts, Wodrum as
sailed them as products of ECO
nomy hySteria."
The Washington times., 1938-01-11

The decision was reached at ar
extraordinary conference session
which climaxed a three-day round
of discussions participated in by
all members OF the cabinet.
BITTER WRANGLTNG
Bitter wrangling between the
military faction and conservatives
preceded the decision.
Under its terms, the war will
be pushed until China is ready
to agree to Japan's peace terms,
but there will be no open decla-
ration of hostilities.
The war party, headed by out
spoken Admiral NobumaSa Suet-
sugu, used all the power at its
command to bring about an i'm.
mediate declaration of war, en-
abling a blockade of the Hong
kong coast and other measures to
ensure a speedy victory.
WARNS OF U. S. STEP
But the conservatives carried
the day with arguments that in
cluded the warning President
Roosevelt would invoke the Neu-
trality Act if war were declared.
There was only one chance that
the momentous decision of the i'm
perial conference might be over
ruled and bring about a victory
for the war-mongers.
CABINET MAY FALL

Prince Konoye's cabinet might col.
lapse and Suetsugu take over the
reins of government. The latter,

FORCE FOR PEACE

When these immediate objec-
tives are accomplished, the Presi-
dent feels that the United States
will become a force for peace in the
world that will command the re-
spect of aggressors.
Before sending his special
message to Congress, which now
is not expected for some days yet,
the President called on the Navy
high command for new data on the
types of warShips and number
which the Navy needs to increase
its strength to a point where no
aggresSor would dare provoke a
conflict with this country.
TALKS WITH HULL
He conferred lengthily yester,
day with Secretary of State Hull,
UnderSecretary of State Welles,
and chief of naval operations,
Admiral William D. Leahy, can
VaSsing the troubled world situa
ton and Americas national de-
fenSe deficiencies.
Leahy laid before the President
his recommendations for new war
ship construction. When these are
studied, the President will send his
special message on national de-
fense to Congress, raising the ma.
tional defense budget for next
year to approximately $1,000, ,o0O,-
900.
In his regular budget, Mr..
Roosevelt already has asked for
1891 100000 for maintenance and
increase of the armed forces dur.
ing the fiscal year starting next
July l. This exceeds last years
budget, itself a record-breaker for
peacetime Army and Navy expen-
ditures, by $35,O00,000.

WEATHER TO CONTROL

"At this date it is Impossible
to foresee the speed with which
these demands may grow, or
even to predict their magnitude
- within the next few months he
: said. They will be determined,
in large measure, by the weather
and the course of business re-
covery.
These things, however, are
certain; distress already is wide
spread throughout broad sectors
of American agriculture-lt is
growing rapidly - n d neither
local nor Federal agencies have
the means to cop, with it."
$4,000 FAMILIES AIDED
: Wallace said that up to Decem
ber /, 1887, more than $4,000
families had received rehabilita
ton loans from the Farm Security
Administration totaling Sl51,
100000. BY January 1, 1888, over
$45, 900, 900 of this sum had been
returned to the Federal Treasury
He added, however, that large
portion of destitute farmers are
not qualified to receive farm
security loans.
ITO such families in cases of
dire necessity" Wallace said,
."the Farm Security Administra-
stion has made subsistence
grants.
LAS of December |, more than
100000 families had received
grants totaling more than
$751; 100000. In most instances,
these grants averaged approx
mately $40 per month per
family, or barely enough to pro-
vide the minimum necessities of
living"

2. Construction of Navy

also strong enough to act as
