Subpoena Dodging
Laid 10 Husband
OF Marion Ta|Iey
Birth Of Child Kept
Secret for Sake of
Career, Lawyers Soy
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1l-A court
battle over the custody of Susan
Eckstrom, newly disclosed daughter
of Marion Talley, operate sensa-
ton of more than decade ago,
was complicated tonight by the
assertion of Miss Talleys lawyer
that her estranged husband was
"dodging" subpoena servers.
The attorney, George z. Ferris
of Harrison, N. Y, said detectives
had trailed the husband. Adolph
Eckstrom. her former singing teach
er, for several months in fruitleSs
attempt to get him into court.
The disclosure that Miss Talley,
the American nightingale" who
made her Metropolitan Opera debut
in 1926 at the age of IT, was the
mother of a child came yesterday
when she opened her fight to regain
custody of the child in Supreme
Court.
The singer said in her petition
she had not seen the child since
December, 1885, eight months after
her daughter was born. She mar
ried Mr.. Eckstrom secretly on March
%, 1885.
In her suit Miss Tally charged
that Mr.. Eckstrom was man OF
immoral character" and Financially
unable to give the child suitable
home
She said Mr.. Eckstrom kept their
daughter-who was variously iden-
tilted as Susan" Betty Ruth" and
the Princess Manhattan
penthouse and had neglected to give
her a needed eye operation.
Attorneys said Miss Talley had
kept secret the birth of the child to
avoid hampering her operate, movie
and radio career
Coincident with the court action,
it was disclosed by police records
that Miss Talley and a man COM
panion allegedely attempted to take
the child on February 2 from the
home of Mrs. Ruth Nelson of Mann
aroneck, N. Y, her husbands sister
Miss Talley's attorney was granted
an adjournment of the case until
Wednesday pending renewed efforts
to locate Mr.. EckStrom.

Defense Strategy
Dewey Ends Case With

Accused to Schultz

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. n.-Shrewd
criminal lawyers tonight mapped
strategy for the long-awaited de-
fense of James J. Hines. Tammany
political leader. in his retrial on lot
tery-conspiracy charges in connec-
ton with the s2O,O0O.000- year
Dutch Schultz policy racket.
District Attorney Thomas E
Dewey ended the States case today
after introducing 45 witnesses whose
testimony in the three-week- old
trial covered 1000 typewriter
pages.
AS the first step in the fight tc
save Hines from prison-Mr Dewey
issued the terse dictum that This
time Hines will be brought to JUS
tice"-Chief Defense Counsel Lloyd
Paul Stryker announced he would
ask for a dismissal on Monday OF
al, 13 counts in the indictment.

cent.
Mr.. Dewey called two final wit.
nesses today before resting.
Cornelius Casey, Troy, N. Y.
fire chief and chairman of the
Rensselaer, County Democratic
Committee, a friend of Hines fol
l5-odd years, testified he received
two long-distance phone calls from
Hines in 1885 on behalf of Schultz
Hines asked him, Mr. Casey said
to keep Troy police from botherine
the gangster while Schultz was
making his headquarters there Mr.
Casey testified he told Hines he
could not interfere with police.
The final witness, James D. C
Murray, prominent lawyer testified
that he talked to Hines in 1885
about the prospective appointment
of Mr.. Dewey as a special rackets
prosecutor.
He said he told Hines that Mr.
Dewey was "a relentless prosecutor
who would indict any one" anc
that Dixie Davis chimed in:
He will destroy us all"

Reciprocal Taxation
Hearings May End
By Wednesday
One Witness Appears
For Tax on Interest
On U. S. Bonds

The special Senate committee
studying the whole subject of re-
ciprocal taxation of Federal and
State securities and salaries hopes
to conclude hearings this week.
After hearing another group of
witnesses yesterday, all but one in
opposition to imposing Federal tax
alton on State securities, Senator
Brown. Democrat, of Michigan,
chairman. indicated he hoped to
complete taking testimony Tuesday
or Wednesday.
The House already has passed a
bill that would require State en-
ployes to pay the Federal income
tax on their salaries, and grant the
consent of Congress to the States
to tax the compensation of Federal
employees. This measure, however,
is not before the Senate committee,
but will be taken up for consider
alton by the Senate Finance Com
nittee. probably within a few days
after the special group concludes
its hearings.
Work Started Last Summer.
. The Brown committee began work
last summer on the broader aspects
of the problem, including the posi-
BILE taxing Of future State and Fed
eral bond issues, as we'll as salaries
One of the major questions to be
decided before it reports is whether
Congress may proceed to tax State
securities without a constitutional
amendment.
Among those who testified yester-
day were Julius Henry Cohen, Amer
lean Association OF Port Authorities :;
David NJ Wood, a municipal bond
counsel; Carroll S, Bucher. counsel
for the California State Compensa-
ton Commission. and r. Granville
Curry, Albany Port District Commits
sion.
The witness who appeared in sup
port OF taxing the interest on Gov
ernment bonds was Benjamin c.
Marsh. executive secretary of the
Peoples Lobby.
Dual Sovereignty Emphasized.
Emphasizing the dual sovereignty
Of the States and the Federal Gov
ernment, Mr.. Wood declared:
AS each sovereignty possesses,
and must possess. the power of taxa
ton, and as that power can be
exercised to destroy the subject Of
the tax, the Supreme Court of the
United States has repeatedly de-
clared that the States cannot tax
the United States or its instrument
talltles of government, nor can Con-
gress tax the States or their in
strumentalltles of government"
The witness argued that such ill
strumentalities are not merely ex-
empt from such taxation, they are
immune from it
It is probable the Finance Com
mittee will hold separate hearings
on the House bill, which is confined
to the salary phase of the question.
