Confesses
Holdup Tale
False
Vented Publicity.
SoYs Soldier Who
Sprung Sensation

Criminal charges were filed
Friday against Edgar L. Spring,
26-year-old Fort Lewis soldier,
who admitted a hoax holdup''
report to police.
Spring was In the city jail FRI
day. held for investigation. He
broke at the end Of a two-hour
questioning by Detective Captain
Cliff Osborne Thursday and ad-
mitted his report Of being hold
up victim last Monday night was
false.
Spring. who made n sensa-
tional report to police that he
was the victim Of = holdup In
the city's busiest downtown In
tersecfion, at So. 9th and
Broadway, said he made the
false report for the purpose Of
securing more or less pub
licity..
The young soldier, q member Of
the 6eth engineers. was searched
following his confession. Detectives
repeatedly found a check for SIS,
bearing the forged name Of Lieut..
Fred Smith, in his pocket.
BY ironic coincidence, Lieut..
Smith was the officer who accom-
panied Spring to police headquart-
ers Thursday. although the check
angle was not known at that time.
Police said Spring had been
charged with issuing q false
report under An ordinance
passed In July, 1888. He win be
the first 10 face arrest on that
charge. Conviction penalty can
be q so-day jail term, $500
fine, or both.
Even in the confession" which
he signed, Spring lied. according
to his later admission. He first
described three trips to Port
land" between Sunday and Tues
day. He said on the first trip
he learned the girl he went to see
had been killed in a traffic wreck.
He stated that he returned Tues
day to attend her funeral.
After he signed the state
ment, he was visited In his
cell by Police Chief Einar
Langseth. He changed the
whole story, rctracted the
statements made about the
girl and the Portland trips,
but admitted the impulse"
TO make . false holdup report,
and the act itself.
Police Chief Einar Langseth
said he knew the report was
false, and was awaiting only
the victims" temperance to
probe the case. IL was not
until q fort official recognized
Springs name In the news
papers ~ q member of his
company that his army con-
necfion became known.
Spring reported he was held up
at gun point by bandit who jump
ed out of a car driven by another
man. about midnight Monday. and
lost SIT to the bandit. Placing
the locale as the brightiy-lighted
southeast corner Of So. 9th and
Broadway led to police suspicious
that the report was 'phoney."
The good-looking defendant ap-
peared before Judge Joseph NAL
lery in police court Friday morn
ing and won continuance Of his
hearing until Saturday.

High Court Refuses
10 Review Verdict
Against Manion
Former Judge Loses
Fight on Conviction
In 'Bribe' Cuse
, the Associated Press.

Martin T. Manton, former senior
Federal Circuit Court Judge at New
York, failed today to obtain q Su-
preme Court review of his convic-
ton on a charge of conspiracy to
sell judicial favors.
Manton's conviction in Federal
District Court at New York has been
unanimously afnrmed by a special
circuit court. He was sentenced to
two years in prison and fined
$4,000.
He was alleged to have accepted
"bribes" from htigants to influence
his decisions. He resigned after
serving on the bench for "a years.
In appealing to the Supreme
Court, Manton's lawyers asserted:
Prom a broad viewpoint, it serves
no public policy for a high judicial
officer to be convicted of a judicial
crime. It tends to destroy the
confidence of the people In the
courts"
The Justice Department opposed
review, contending there was no
doubt as to the accuracy Of the con-
viction.
Manton had been charged with
conspiring with George M. Spector,
insurance agent; John L. Lotsch,
disbarred lawyer; William j. Fall
lon, his business agent, and Forest
w. Davis. accountant. Lotsch, Fall
Ion and Davis pleaded guilty.
Spector, who appealed to the Su-
preme Court with Manton, also was
denied a review today. He had been
sentenced to imprisonment for a
year and q day and fined 5000.

Eastbound Clippers
Cancel Bermuda 5tops
After Mail Seizure
OfficiuIs Silent
On Incident; Give
Weather as Reason
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Delivery
of uncensored mail to Europe solely
through air channels appears likely
as result of an announcement Of
Pan-American Airways that its Clip
per planes will omit the Bermuda
stop on flights to Portugal, starting
March Is.
The company made no mention Of
British seizure and censorship Of
mail at Bermuda, nor OF publication
last week Of a news story that United
States mail was seized there jan
uAYy l8 "at bayonet point"
It gave as Its reasons ''better
weather conditions" and the fact
that mid-Atlantic weather reports
are being received from two Coast
Guard vessels assigned to special
duty.
(The British Foreign ONCE in
London said today it had mo
great measure of concern" over
Pan-American Airways' decision
to eliminate Bermuda on east
bound transatlantic flights and
thereby avoid British censorship
of U. s. mail at the island, ac-
cording to the Associated Press.
CThe decision concerned only
the airways company itself, 1t
was said, and mot the United
States Government"
"a foreign office spokesman said
I'VE understand that the decision
has to do with the weather con-
ditions and not with the search
of United States mails.
('"The air mails will now avoid
search entirely, as there will be
no effort to study their contents
anywhere else"
(The spokesman added that he
believed the relations between
the Bermuda government and the
air line were most friendly.")
The Clippers thus return to their
original route-direct across the At
lantic to Horta, the Azores-inter-
rupted last October, when they in
cluded Bermuda as q refueling stop.
Five Hours Saved.
Pan-American says the direct
flight saves five hours.
Ofncial air circles attached sig
nificance to the new policy permit
ting American mails to reach Ger
many without allied interference.
Pan-American connects at Lisbon
with italian and French airlines As
yet, the British have not begun q

BY JAMES E. CHINN.

The House District Committee to-
day turned over to its subcommittee
on fiscal affairs the problem of
working out an amendment to the
local income tax law that will avoid
any possibility of triple taxation of
the thousands of employees in WASH
lngton who maintain a legal resi-
dence in the States.
Chairman Randolph announced
that the subcommittee, headed by
Representative Nichols, Democrat,
of Oklahoma, would meet the latter
part of the week to tackle the prob
lem, pointing out that Congress is
looking to us for immediate relief on
this question"
The committee also ordered favor
able reports on four bills. They
follow:
l. To invalidate special congress
sional automobile tags 60 days
after expiration of the session Of
Congress for which they were
issued.
2. To amend the child labor
law to permit minors to engage

in professional concerts or theat-
rical productions.
8. To change the name Of that
portion Of Twenty-fourth street
NV. beginning at Porter street
and extending one block to Rock
Greek Park to Williamsburg lane.
1. To amend the act regulating
adoption proceedings to require
the clerk Of the District Court to
furnish an adopter with certified
copy of the final decree of adop-
ton of a child born outside the
District.
In preparation for consideration
of an amendment to the income tax
law, Chairman Randolph appointed
Representative Ambrose j. Kennedy,
Democrat, of Maryland to a vacancy
on the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee
created by the recent resignation
from the full committee of Repre-
sentative Schwert, Democrat, of New
York. Representative Michael j.
Kennedy, Democrat, Of New York,
a new member of the committee, was
named to succeed the Maryland
Kennedy on the Insurance and
Banking Subcommittee.
The move to revise the income tax
law to prevent possibility of triple
taxation was initiated by Represen-
tative Cooley, Democrat, of North
Carolina. He appeared before the
committee with several proposed
amendments which, he said, would
clarity the law and remove the pos
sibility of triple taxation.

Tert of Hull statement on Page B-S

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of State Hull described
continuance Of the reciprocal trade
prog1 am today as necessary to help
establish sound world conditions
after the European war.
Jubilant over House approval Of
the administration bill to extend the
Trade Agreements Act for three
years. Secretary Hull told the Senate
Finance Committee:
The need for keeping alive the
principles which underlie the trade
agreements program Is crucial now,
during the war emergency, and will
be of even more decisive importance
after the war.
Even a temporary abandonment
of the program now would be con-
strued everywhere as its permanent
abandonment"
Is First Witness.
The Secretary was the first witness
before the committee, which will de-
eide whether to recommend Senate
passage of the measure. Opponents
want to require Senate ratification
of each trade agreement, but Mr..
Hull declared:
THE only result (of such re-
quirement) under existing condi-
tions would be to make the program
entirely unworkable. That would
inevitably hurt our foreign trade,
and, through trade, our Nations
economic well being. -
Unless we continue to maintain
our position Of leadership in the
promotion Of liberal trade policies,
unless we continue to urge upon
others the need Of adopting such
policies as the basis of postwar eco
nomic reconstruction, the future will
be dark indeed. -
The Fate of Liberal Policies.
''The triumph or defeat of liberal
trade policies after the war will,
in large measure, be determined
by the commitments which the
nations will assume between now
and the peace conference.
"At the termination of hoStilitieS
there will be an unprecedented
need throughout the world for
vastly increased production of use
full goods Of every kind. Only If
this vital need is met can our coun-
try and all countries hope for full
employment and higher living
standards"
Denying contentious that it had
injured domestic enterprises, Secre-
tary Hull argued that the trade
agreements program had raised
American living standards. He said
1t had brought the United States
the greatest trade increase of any
commercially important" nation.
