gates were charged last night with
the responsibility of raising better
fed children at the annual fellow
ship dinner closing the 18th annual
convention of the District Congress
of Parents and Teachers.
Mrs. William KletZer, president

that the high percentage of young
men rejected from Selective service
because of physical defects showed
the need for constant vigilance in
giving young people the right
foods.
Honor guest at the banquet held
in the Willard Hotel was Mrs.
Harold Walker, daughter of Mrs.
Alice Birney, founder of the par
ent-teacher organization here.
Among a number of resolutions

Indictments Upheld
Against Trans-0cean,
; Alleged Nazi Agents
Auhoeen Is Arroiened
Immediately and
Pleads Innocent

The Federal Government today
won what it considered major VIC
tories when the validity of indict-
mentS charging corporation and
three individuals with being agents
of German interests and failing to
register properly with the State De-
partment were upheld in District
Court. Regulations of Secretary of
State Hull were sustained in the
decisions
Justice F. Dickinson Let's held
that the indictment against Fried
rich Ernst Auhagen, reputed pub
licity agent of the German govern
ment, was valid and set June % as
the trial date. The jurist overruled
a demurrer to void the indictment.
He said that to require the United
States to prove a direct close link
with German interests in the abb
sence of the principal would be
placing a burden on the Govern
ment not called for by the law or
intended by Congress.
Immediately after the decision,
Mr.. Auhagen was arraigned and
entered plea of innocent.
Justice James M. Proctor upheld
indictments against Trans-Ocean,
German news agency in this coun-
try; Manfred Zapp, described as its
news manager. and Guenther Tom,
its reputed chief editor. Demurrers
had been filed. Mr.. Zapp and Mr.,
Tom recently were taken into Gus
tody in New York in a roundup of
aliens. They will have to be brought
here for arraignment at a date to
be fixed later.

Army-Navy Air Force
To Have SCOOP Planes
By Fall Of 1913
Biggest Supply Bill
For War Department
Since 1917 Approved
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A combined Army-Navy air force
of $4,000 warplanes, informed legis-
lators disclosed today, will be pro-
vided by the funds which President
Roosevelt has asked of Congress.
The full strength is expected to be
reached by the fall of 1913.
Members of the House Military
Appropriations Subcommittee said
Robert P. Patterson, Undersecretary
of War, had told them that with
funds in the $9,452, 1896, 900 War De-
partment supply bill which the SUBJ
committee approved late yesterday,
the Army Air Corps would be able to
acquire a total of 10000 planes.
The huge Observation-Disclosures
single supply bill since World War
days-was increased at the last
minute to include the $2,790, 800, 785
requested Tuesday by President
Roosevelt to give the Army 10000
additional planes. The Chief Exc
cutive also asked $3.50, GAG, 900 for
the Navy which committee members
said would complete the fleets
10,000-plane program.
Legislators said Mr.. Patterson
testified the Army expected to have
its $4,000 planes on hand by Sep
TENDER or october of 1913.
Plans already have been an
nounced by the Office of Production
Management for stepping up the
output of heavy bombers to 500
month in efforts to meet the need
of both Britain and this country
for such long-range aerial striking
power. There even were indica-
lions that this rate would be &C
tolerated further.
There was no breakdown of the
number of planes of each type
bombers, pursuits, etc.-which the
bill would provide, but much of the
was believed to be earmarked
for bombers.

an average of go with rises in de-
tense areas being much greater.
The bulletin points out that these
are estimates by the Department OF
Labor experts and suggests that they
are probably on the conservative side.
At his press conference April %,
Pres. Roosevelt was asked about price
increases but responded by saying
that such talk was just generalities.
He chided correspondents for not be-
ing able to cite price changes in
specific commodities and when one of
them, a woman, did cite such changes
he suggested that she arrange an APP
pointment with Miss Harriet Elliot,
consumer commissioner in the Office
of Price Administration & Civilian
Supply.
The CLOS bulletin also warned UNI
ions to be wary of tying wage nego-
tiations to the cost of living, noting
that the present share of the workers
in the national tincome is far too low.
Had the auto workers tied their
wages to the cost of living in 1928,
it was pointed out, they would now be
receiving an average wage of 40 cents
an hour instead of the present So
cents.

contempt" A federal judge, James
H. Peck, so abused that power that,
in 1881, an attempt was made to i'm
peach him and law limiting con-
tempt was passed by congress.
That law was introduced by James
Buchanan, then congressman from
Pennsylvania, and later President OF
the United States. The law defined
Contempt as "misbehavior in the
presence of the court, or so near
thereto as to obstruct the administra-
ton Of justice"
That seems pretty clear to lay
man, but time went on, and courts
expanded their contempt" authority
despite the law. AT the request OF
employers, they issued injunctions
against unions and strikers. Then, if
union men scuffled with 'scabs" OF
did almost anything to make their
strike effective, the judge held them
guilty of contempt" and they were
hustled off to Jail or heavily fined
Several of these labor cases were
cited by Douglas.
Courts also began to crack down
on newspapers or anyone else who
wrote or said anything unfavorable to
judges.
Finally, the supreme court, in 1918,
upheld a lower court which punished
a Toledo newspaper which had dared
to criticize judges procedure.
That Toledo decision gave the fed
eral courts all the power in contempt
cases that congress endeavored to
take from them in 1881 1t became
the Toledo precedent law of
the land.
Douglas said the whole history of
judges abuse of their contempt pow
ers shows that the supreme court
should never have rendered the Tole-
do decision and should now junk it,
and the court did so by vote of five
to three.
Hereafter, in contempt cases, the
federal courts must be governed by
the Buchanan law of 1881 and not
by some judges idea of what the
law should be.

At the end of each military struggle

Men get living in only two ways
they work for it or they grab it.
Carlyle wrote: I'VE must all toll or

ping phrases described the economic
setup in these words: You work and
toll and earn bread, and I'll eat it. -
Work or grab; toll or steal. There
is no other way to gain livelihood.
War is the largest scale method OF
grabbing money, ships, minerals, fer

they still grab. The economy Of the

the lines of grab and keep. Through

There is another formula for live

INCOME and
EXCISE TAXES
TO CLIMB
Income Tax Will Probably
Be Increased From a to Is
Percent; Treasury Testl-
mony Shows Banks Escape
Taxes.

Observation-Disclosures in
creases in income taxes and excise
taxes on 81 commodities were pro-
posed to the house ways and means
committee here April Fl by the u
S. treasury.
The treasury's proposals, designed
TO raise an additional $780, OO,O0U
in federal revenue, skirted the edges
of excess profits tax reform with the
recommendation that the tax begin
after a SO return on invested capital
instead of so, or after 1870 of aver
age earnings, instead of $3.50.
Proposal as to excess profits taxes
admittedly lax, were previously said
to be the key to the character of the
treasury's plan.
The principal feature of the new
income tax proposals, which would
hit hardest at families earning be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 year, is
surtax of 11% starting at the begin
ming instead of at the $4,000 level.
In effect, it was stated, the new
income tax will be 1919 instead OF the
present 40.
Indications of the effect of the new
program were contained in figures
showing that married couples, without
dependents, earning net income Oh
$500 pay, under the present law
S11 and would pay under the treas
ury's program $72.
Increases in income tax were cal
culated to raise an additional $1,5l7,
100000 while increases in corporate
taxes were calculated to raise 1888,
100000
1t was indicated that banks, insur
ance companies and other financia
institutions were able to avoid large
amounts of taxes. Four of the big
gest banks, it was said, with assets
of $4,000, 100000 were said to have
paid only $171 in taxes.
Excise taxes on q luxury com
modities are calculated to raise an
additional $S42'6O0,000.
An attempt was made by Rep. Rob-
ert L. Doughton 3D., N.C), chairman
of the committee, to keep the treas
ury's proposals secret. Doughton
said he didn't want to get the public
all stirred up about them.
