the local tax program should be.
Lump Sum OF $4,000, 200.
For the coming fiscal year the Fed
eral payment is lump sum of only
$5,0c0,000 toward the total local
budget of more than s48,0OO000. It
was the size of the budget that
made necessary the new local tax
program Of $5,l00.000. and in pass
ing it, Congress ordered the new sur
vey as a step toward a more perma-
nent tax structure after this year.
In addition to talking with Senator

The Turrou
Series

In view of the Presidents ex-
preston at his press conference
today regarding the Turrou series
OF spy articles, The Star, which
had arranged with the pro-
prietor Of the syndicate distrib-
uting these articles to publish
them in Washington, will with
hold publication.
The Star was assured by the
syndicate in question that in
quiries in Washington revealed
no opposition. but, on the other
hand, indicated a favorable atti-
tude toward publication of the
articles as means OF inform
ing citizens concerning the ac-
tivities of espionage groups. The
Stars own inquiries revealed no
opposition, as far as the inter-
ests Of the country were con-
cerned.
The agent writing the articles
at the same time gave repeated
assurance that the revelations he
was to make would in no man
ner prejudice the Governments
case in the forthcoming trial. A
reading of the first three articles
corroborated the agents state
ment, in the editorial opinion of
The Star.
The Presidents statement, of
course, is the authoritative ex-
preston of the Governments
attitude and decides the issue for
the present, as far as The Star
is concerned.

FROM PRESIDENT
Says Advance Publication
Is Question of Ethics
and Patriotism.
ROOSEVELT EMPHATIC
IN DISCUSSION OF CASE
Holds Issuance of Story May
Jeopardize Criminal Spy
Prosecution.

President Roosevelt today made
plain that he is opposed to the advance
publication of information collected by
Leon G.. Turrou. resigned Federal
agent who conducted the investigation
OF German spies in this country.
The President expressed himself
with emphasis at his press conference
today, but without naming Mr.. Turrou
or any one else in connection with the
proposed syndicating OF the informa-
ton.
When asked for an opinion. the
President hesitated and then said that
he believed it was time he said some.
thing. inasmuch as he was disturbed.
The President said that the advance
publication at issue raises a fundamen-
tai double question in relation to the
press. He then corrected this by say
Ing that he probably should leave out
the word press" because only one
newspaper syndicate was involved
Inc double question, he said, involved
ethics and patriotism.
President Explains Attitude.
explaining his attitude, the Presi-
dent said that as he understands the
lacIs the Government employe, in Dur
suance OF his regular duty, unearthed
much information relating to FOREIGN
spies In the United States. The Presi.
oent said that he considered this
serious business. inasmuch as the in
formation collected by Government
agents seemed to call for criminal
action on the part of the United
States Government. Therefore the
department of Justice undertook

entered upon. The President then
SAID that this Government employe
resigned not only before the trials were
started but entered upon a contract
10 minutes after his resignation to
make public information collected.
thereby possibly jeojardizing the Grim.
inal prosecution to follow.
Patriotism and Ethics.
The President said that in his dis
cussion of the case, he had not taken
into consideration any legal phases in
VOWED. He declared that in his opin-
Ion, 1t is a matter of patriotism and
ethics on the part of any Government
empioye and certainly a matter of pa
trlotlsm and ethics on the part of any
newspaper undertaking to disseminate
information of that kind.
1t was plainly evident from the
Presidents tone and also the express
sion on his face that his feeling was
strong. The famous Roosevelt smile
was completely absent during his
comment.
During the same discussion the
President said he believed that the
Army and Navy intelligence officers
should have more money to Use in
running down spies in this country.
When asked If he meant counter.
espionage work, he said that running
down spies in this country" is in the
same category as. counter-espionage
work. He added that the Army and
Navy intelligence have been held down
too low in the matter of funds.
