Immediate Legislation
Asked in House to
Probe Conditions
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The House Rules Committee heard
testimony today that "well-organ-
lied" groups were smuggling mil
lions" of aliens into the United
States annually.
Chairman Dickstein of the House
migration Committee made the
statement in asking legislative right
OF way for a measure to empower
his committee to ask a thorough
study of the subject aimed at re-
vision of the immigration and nat
uralization laws.
Crews Are Overmanned.
Representative Dickstein said
practices of certain steamship COM
panies and captains in overmanning
their ships would be given particular
attention. AS an example Of how
some aliens are smuggled into the
country, Mr. Dickstein said. a ship
which could be operated by TOO men
comes in with $50 crew members and
the surplus deserts.
These extra men are not sailors" 4"
he asserted. They are put there
for price"
Representative Schultz, Democrat,
of Indiana, a member of the 1msni-
grafton Committee, testified - great
many captains are being paid $25 to
$50 head" for every alien they
bring in illegally.
Thousands of aliens are coming
across the borders, with no one try
ing to stop them," Mr.. Schultz add
ed. That's serious charge to
make, I know. but I make it,
Representative Dempsey, Demo-
crat, of New Mexico, a member Of
the Rules Committee, told the group
a former head of the patrol on the
Canadian border had informed the
Dies Committee on Un-American
Activities that he and his entire di-
vision Of So men had been dropped
from the service shortly after Sec
retary Of Labor Perkins took office
The immigration and Naturaliza-
ton Service Is Labor Department
bureau.
Figures Dropped.
They had been deporting about
$1,000 aliens annually" Representa-
tive Dempsey said, land that figure
has now dropped to about 5000"
When Rules Committee members
questioned why the Labor Depart
ment was not coping with the alien
smuggling problem, Representative
Cox, Democrat, of Georgia inter-
posed:
You don't expect any real effort
on the part Of that department to
enforce the immigration laws, do
you?"
The Rules Committee deferred ac-
ton on Representative Dickstein's
request until later.

Harper |ndorses East Capitol
Location for Auditorium
Civic Leader Urges Distinctive,
Yet UtiIitorion Building

This is the 24th of a series of
articles dealing 1Dith the audi
tortunl- stadium problem pending
in Congress. Further discussion
tDiH tollop, and the opinions OF
readers are inrited.
Col. Robert N. Harper, former
president of the Washington Cham
ber of Commerce and of the Dis
trict of Columbia Bankers Asso-
citation, long we'll known as a civic
leader in the Nations Capital, has
Endorsed the proposed East Capitol
street site for the Municipal Audi
torium.
In letter to The Star Col. Harper
says: If there is any reason or
sound argument for placing the
auditorium in the Municipal Gen.
ter or, as characterized by some,
downtown I fail to see it.
Il have had more or less expert
ence in such matters and have not
been blind to the difficulties en-
countered in the past because of
traffic congestion, which I am sure
will be more and more difficult to
overcome as Washington increases
in population. A few miles dis
tance should not inconvenience any
one.
In the past regular established
street car lines were worthy of seri-
GUS consideration. Taxis, buses and
private automobiles were all for
merly a luxury, and before such
transportation facilities street cars
were considered a necessity, as they
were about all we had.
Large Building Declared Needed.
From the various expressions in
the press the proposed stadium will
be called upon to seat 10000 or
more persons. A stadium alone
will not suffice. A large arena will
meet one or two purposes. In
building such a desired structure
we will want a large auditorium,
also adequate space for opera, thea
ter, lectures, ETC., and for smaller
gatherings, requiring many con-
veniences not necessarily included
in stadium plan. Big revenue,
however, will not come from such
sources. But there will be other
profitable demands which the archi-
tect must provide for in such a
composite structure.
Outside of the traffic conditions
at the Municipal Center, which
would be nerve racking, an immense
building would mar or destroy the
entire architectural purpose and in
tent of the Municipal Center"
On the other hand, Col. Harper
continues, ample space can be
acquired at nominal cost on East
Capitol street extended. Bus lines
from every section of the city can
be established for all occasions. On
East Capitol street sufficient ground

Court May Settle
Tax Issue Before
Congress Can Act
Supreme Bench Is Given
Reciprocal Levy Coses
From Two Stotes

The possibility the Supreme Court
might rule on the clouded issue Of
Federal-State reciprocal tax i'm.
munity before Congress enacts legis-
lation definitely settling the question
was in prospect today as the court,
concluding argument in one case in
which this is involved, proceeded
with another.
The case already heard came up
from New York, where the State
seeks to levy tax on the income Of
James B. OKeefe, an attorney for
the Home Owners Loan Corp. In
the other litigation, Utah seeks to
tax the salary of w. @. Van Cott. all
attorney at Salt Lake City for the
Reconstruction Finance Corp.
With President Roosevelt already
having urged on Congress that legis-
lation be passed to permit reciprocal
taxation of Federal and State SAL
aries and of income from Federal
and State bonds, the Government
has intervened in the New York
case, asking the court to reconsider
the old case of Collector VS.. Day
from which sprang the doctrine Of
reciprocal immunity, and urging
that the State tax against Mr..
OKeefe be upheld.
Wants All Taxed.
In concluding arguments yester-
day, Solicitor General Robert H.
Jackson told the Supreme Court he
hoped ito see every one in the Gov
ernment taxed, even the President"
Henry Epstein, solicitor general
Of New York, told the court the H.
o. L. c. was non-essential gov
ernmental function and said there
was no implied exemption from tax
alton in the statute creating the
Government agency.
IF Congress had intended an ex-
emption." he said. "it would have
said so in so many words"
Daniel Mcnamara of New York.
counsel for Mr.. O'Keefe, declared
the silence Of Congress sis not to be
taken as consent to tax"
This was directly opposed to the
Government position, as expressed
by Mr.. Jackson, who said "the 81
lence of Congress is not to be taken
as consent to immunity"
Appeal from New York.
This case is up on appeal by the
New York State Tax Commission
from the New York Court of Ap-
peals. The Utah Tax Commission
is appealing from the Utah Supreme
Court in the other.
The court handed down no opin-
ions yesterday. but declined to pass
on National Labor Relations Board
order for reinstatement of lat West
Coast workers discharged during
strike before the Wagner Labor Act
became effective.
1t thus left undisturbed a Ninth
Federal Circuit Court decision up
holding an order against the Car
Isle Lumber Co. of Onalaska. Wash.
which the Labor Board said must
pay the discharged employees s185,-
600 back pay.
The court announced its order in
the Carlisle case without explana-
ton. The petition for review had
been held up pending action on
three other labor cases, decided last
week, in which the court set aside
Labor Board orders.
In asking review, the Carlisle
company questioned the boards jur-
isdiction, pointed out that the
strike began May 3, 1935-before
the present Labor Act became law
and said payment Of the back pay
would mean bankruptcy.

Elliott Roosevelt Saws
FEC. License Rules
Hurt Radio Industry,
Probers Told Stability
Is Impossible With Short
Life of Permits

Financial stability of the radio
industry cannot be effected until
there is legislation granting licenses
for indefinite periods, Elliott Roose-
welt, second son of the President,
testified today before the committee
of the Federal Communications
Commission investigating alleged
monopoly in the industry. At the
present time licenses are granted for
periods of six months.
Mr.. Roosevelt. who appeared at
the hearing in his role as president
of the Texas State Network, Inc,
also found fault with the F. c. c..
decisions involving the sale of radio
stations, and defined what was, in
his opinion, "traf1cking" in licenses.
He told the committee that radio
broadcasting was about the only in
dustry which was unable to obtain
financial assistance from the banks.
He said the only people who had
gone into it were those with sub
stantial sums of their own which
they were willing to gamble and
OlldU UlAC 4lAuoOAy Wno SCA IVA eAAAebVS
in getting these people interested
In 1t.
He stated that neither the banks
nor any good businessman will en-
ter a business which has such a
short life expectancy, referring to
the fact a station faces the task of
renewing its license every six
months.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the industry
was considerably handicapped by
this uncertainty and the doubt as
to its ability to liquidate itself
quickly because so-called traffic in
licenses had affected the prompt
sale of stations. In his opinion, he
said, there should be a distinction
shown by the commission between
those who obtain license to con-
struct and operate station with
no idea Of operating 1t and those
who enter on the operation in good
faith and after period desire to
dispose of the station.
