was called into Judge Franklin
Taylor's Brooklyn court yester-
day to hear the case against
Buchalter and three co-defend-
ants; 26 didn't appear, and 100
others offered a variety of rea-
sons to be excused from service.
One man said he was to be
married next week, others said
they were needed in defense in
dustries and still others pleeded
the need for summer vacations
or even the affliction of hay
fever.
TALESMEN PLEA
Judge Taylor denied Is re-
quests, granted Is, and deferred
decision in the others. The en-
tire session was given over to
hearing the pleas of Talesmen.
Charged with participation in
the murder of Joseph Rosen, q
Brooklyn steFekeepef, in 1885,
to prevent him from testifying
in a flour trucking racket case,
Buchalter sat without emotion
through the long court day.
Not once did he grin as he did
when he pleaded guilty to q
narcotics law violation and re-
ceived a l4-year federal prison
term in 1910.
Since that time, Buchalter has
been sentenced for 30 years to
life in Sing Sing prison for par
ticipation in q bakery shake
down racket. For months he
fought New York's efforts to put
him on trial for his life.
USED VARIED RACKETS
The Buchalter rackets, during
period of years, touched vir-
tually every corner of the Unit
ed States and, in the case of
narcotics, extended beyond the
Nations borders. Monopolistic
CANISTER control of furs, bakery
trucking, flour trucking and
other fields were charged to
him.
From 1897 when, as FBI-de-
signated public enemy No. 4,
Buchalter became q fugitive, un-
til he surrendered in 1889 as the
Nations chief public enemy, he
was sought throughout the
United States and in Mexico and
Canada.
To him, district attorneys and
other public officials have OPEN
ly charged the disappearance I, of
numerous witnesses whose
mouths were closed before they
could testify in racket cases.
Waiting to testify against
him was Abe kid Twist" Relies,

lyn murder syndicate whose

of the national income, went to
the Senate today bearing a

This provision had been counted
on to raise about S323 900, 600

PRESIDENT CRITICAL
The defeat of the joint return
clause-by . 242 to 100 vote
was attributed to q great extent
to the criticism voiced by Presi-

actually earned by either hus-
bands or wives.
Members of the ways and
means committee, who baked u
recommending the Presidents
proposal, were joined by other
legislators In warning that fur

come taxes would be necessary
to make up the lost revenue.
At the other end of the CAPT.
toll, Chairman George ID Ga) OF
the Senate finance committee,
expressed belief the Senate
would not seek to .'einstate the
controverted provision but
would try to make up the de-
ficiency elsewhere. possibly by
