Tax Case Remarks
Held Confusing
And Misleading
Dr.. Walsh Criticizes
Language Used
By Fronkfurter

DR.. Edmund A. Walsh, s. j., vice
president of Georgetown University,
who discussed the recent Supreme
Court decision in the New York
tax case last night during his weekly
lecture, criticized the concurring
opinion of Associate Justice Felix
Frankfurter as containing remarks
that were confusing" and mis-
leading"
Mr.. Justice Frankfurter, whose
competency in both substantive and
historical jurisprudence will not be
questioned" he said, lis not equally
convincing in his Interpretation of
Marshall's use of the celebrated
dictum: The power to tax involves
the power to destroy In fact, the
material structure of Mr.. Frankfurt
ter's argument and the reasonable
differences to be drawn from the
manner of his presentation are dis
tinctly misleading and do much
violence to the evidence easily avail
able in Wheaton's Reports"
The decision of the court conced-
ing the right of the State of New
York to tax the salary of a Federal
employe, DR.. Walsh predicted, no
doubt eventually will result in re-
examination.
He held that complete renuncia-
ton of reciprocal immunity might
easily lead to grave political con-
sequences"

Complete Shutdown
Threatened by Lewis

NEW YORK, April IL tP.-A COM
plete shutdown of the Nations coal
industry was threatened today, with
consequent shortage and price
increase
John L. Lewis. c. I. o. chairman
and president of the United Mine
Workers, made the threat 'yester-
day when contract negotiations with
Appalachian soft coal operators
reached a seeming deadlock.
Under way since March IA with
little apparent progress, the nego-
tiations nevertheless are scheduled
to be resumed today.
Prices of soft coal for industrial
use already have risen as a result
of the shutdown in the Appalachian
fields. following the expiration
March 81 of the old two-year labor
contract, Pittsburgh reports said.
The Appalachian region produces
10 per cent of the Nations soft coal,
and it's 1893 900 miners are idle. Some
100000 other miners outside the
Appalachian field-in Illinois, In
diana, Kentucky, Colorado and other
States-are continuing work under
special agreements.
Expressing belief that the op-
orators were attempting to destroy
the United Mine Workers to please
abor-hating interests" Mr.. Lewis
threatened yesterday to cancel
those special agreements on IS days
notice.
He also implied the union might
force a shutdown in the anthracite
industry by calling out 10000 hard
coal miners.
Pointing out that the anthracite
contract expires April 80, Mr.. Lewis
added significantly:
so, II the bituminous operators

But that didn't stop either Will
liam Bankhead or his brother, john
The former was elected to the
House in 1917 and successfully has
been House Rules Committee chair
man, Democratic floor leader and
speaker. John was elected a Sen
ator from Alabama in 1890, and still
is serving.
The Speaker wouldn't say wheth-
er he believed he should have re-
manned in a lucrative law practice
with his brother. He once had
leanings toward the stage-his
daughter, Tallulah, is celebrated
actress.
The House took cogniZance of
the Speakers birthday anniversary
when Minority Leader Martin
praised him for his fairness in pre-
siding and said he spoke for the
entire Republican membership.
After the Speaker expressed his
thanks the entire membership stood
and applauded.
