clinic visits was POI 1926 by 5,O99 in

1858 Aliens Forced
ToLeave u. ). Durinq
Year, RepoI| Shows
immigration c Commissioner
Says 9,278 Others Left
At Own Expense
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
James L. Houghteling, commits
sioner of immigration, said today
that 1858 aliens were forced to
leave the United States last year.
Mr.. Houghteling' annual report
to Secretary of Labor Perkins said
9,275 of the aliens were deported on
warrants, and 9,278 others, who had
been adjudged deportable, left at
their own expense. The total leaving
in the previous year was 1857.
During the year ending last July
immigration officers barred 8,066
other aliens from entering.
immigration arrivals numbered
67,895, compared with 50,244 in 1887
and 36,329 in 1886. The total was
still far below the quota Of 153,774,
Mr. Houghteling said.
Germans and Austrians, totaling
17,199, led immigrants from all other
| countries. A classification by races
| in the report designated 1,917 of the
Germans as Jews.
Commissioner Houghteling said
there had been steady decrease in
the alien population since 1924, and
estimated the total last July at
1888 578. He said 1872 ,078 were grant,
ed citizenship last year.
Discussing the difficulties OF de-.
porting aliens, Mr. Houghteling said:
I'm the past, as general rule, the
spirit of international comfy and
national responsibility has led most
nations to accept the return of their
own citizens, even when the latter
have been convicted of crimes while
abroad. However, spirit of repudia-
ton of any such responsibility ap-
pears to be on the increase"
During the year, he added, the
bureau was unable to deport $50
aliens because their native countrie-
refused to issue passports for them

French Ministry
To Stake Life on
Neutrality in Spain
Loyolist Aid Campaign
By Leftists Forces
Cabinet Decision

PARIS, Jan. 18.-The French cab
met was authoritatively reported to-
day to have decided to stake its life
In the Chamber of Deputies on a
combined policy of non-intervention
in the Spanish civil war and "vigi-
liant defense" of French interests.
Informed political sources said
the minister, meeting with President
Albert Lebrun, chose this course in
the controversy raging over Leftist
demands for French aid to govern
ment Spain to prevent adverse re-
suits of an Italian-support victory
for the insurgents.
Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet
was reported to have insisted, before
the cabinet, on maintaining neutral
ity in Spain and keeping Frances
Pyrenees border closed to help for
the sorely pressed government.
May Demand Confidence Vote.
Political informants said the gov
eminent probably would demand a
vote of confidence on its new policy
when the Chamber finishes its cur
rent foreign affairs debate, probably
Friday night.
The cabinet debated the Spanish
crisis for two and half hours today
but announced no decision.
Bonnet, who held the floor through
out, was understood to have main
tained that France must keep in the
good graces of Great Britain by ad-
herring closely to the policy of non-
Intervention.
The campaign continued In Par
lament, and the press, however, for
aid to Barcelona to counteract
Italian support for insurgent Cen
eralissimo Francisco Franco. One
section of the cabinet itself was un-
derstood to be swinging around to
this view.
The Executive Committee of the
General Confederation of Labor, rep
resenting French labor, voted to join
Socialists and Communists in trying
to get the government to send mill
tary help to the Spanish Republic.
Confederation officials were in
structed to take all measures or
join any movement to obtain effec-
tive and immediate assistance for
republican SPAIN
The customary mention of unani-
nous approval by the ministers for
policies presented was omitted from
communique issued after the cab
met met in the Elysee Palace, PreSi-
dent LebrunS residence.

u. ). Planned Tax
Charge Against long,
Article Says
Story by ChiIds Tells
Of Tall Spending by
Lote Kingfish

The day Huey Long was assassi-
mated, Elmer Lincoln Trey, head OF
the Internal Revenue Bureaus
famed Intelligence Unit, was ready
to ask for the indictment of the
Kingfish for income tax frauds, Mar
uuis w. Childs, Washington CORE
spondent and author, says in an
article in today's issue of the Satur-
day Evening Post.
Mr.. Trey is extolled as "the master
detective" in an article entitled Tine
Nemesis Nobody Knows" Mr.. Chllds
tells how the man who directs in
come tax Investigations from Wash
ington developed the technique that
sent many of the big figures of gang
land to the penitentiary. A favorlte
plan, the author explains, is to trace
the expenditures of suspected IN
dividual to determine whether he
has been living beyond the scope OF
his reported taxable income.
This procedure was followed in
tracking down AL Capone, Waxey
Gordon and other one-time key men
of the underworld 1t also was the
method used to trap Boss Fender
CAST of Kansas City. In this case
agents interviewed bookmakers and
traced more than 100000 in in
come, much of it in graft" In the
Lindbergh case, Mr.. Childs writes,
1.-THE agents were able to determine
within a few dollars of the money
that Bruno Hauptmann made and
the money he spent prior to the day
the ransom was passed"
Discussing the late Senator Long,
Mr. Childs says:
"Huey Long, in his time, did some
tall spending on the $4,000 a year
that is the salary of United States
Senator. For months, under Trey
direction, agents of the Intelligence
Unit, followed the trail of graft that
spread out all over Louisiana. The
task was enormous. One contracting
firm alone, it was discovered, PAID
graft in excess of 100000. A State
wide system OF COLLECTORS passed IlloSl
of the spoils along to hlgher-ups,
Finally there were seven collectors.
The seven paid over to two, and the
two paid over to Long himself. The
Kingfish got the big money, and 1t
was big money
Mr.. Childs says Capone offered
probably the record bribe-a million
and a half-if the bureau would
compromise the tax case against
him. Instead he got II years.
The Intelligence Unit collected
over s6OOO,0OO in evaded taxes from
persons connected with Teapot
Dome, Mr. Childs says.
The unit, he points out, is one
branch of the Government that
more than pays its way, taking in
500 for each 81 it spends.

Senator Law had reference to
the personal property tax on auto
mobiles that now is collected by
the state at the same time as liz

25 per cent of the remainder turn

The In Lieu tax system, since it
went into effect in 1885, has drawn
criticism from several quarters,
largely because of a drop in reve-
nue. to counties and cities. During
the last fiscal year Ell Centre re-

$4,000 year, which opponents
of the system argued is consider

don't have any," he commented.
