BineO Tax May Aid

Gov. G. A. Wilson of Iowa
asked that the states appropria-
ton for old age assistance be ex-
banded from $1,000. 900 a year
to So, 100000. Nevertheless, no
general advance from the, $20.72
monthly average appeared like
ly, inasmuch as the social well
fare board said the increase was
necessary to continue present
policies.
Gov. Payne Rather besought
the Kansas Legislature to raise
old age assistance payments by
increasing the states participa-
ton in social welfare work. The
first administration measure dis
patched to the Arizona Legisla-
ture favors an increase of max
imum old age pensions from $50
to $40 monthly.
In Texas, the chief executive
has asked the legislature for
laws to raise $50,000,0 900, by
means of a general transactions
tax, for old age pensions and
relief. The same proposal, but
in the form of constitutional
amendment, was rejected by the
lawmakers two years ago.

Judge Frees Defendants,
But Sentences Witness

A main Government witness in
stead of the two defendants he was
to have testified against was SEN
fenced yesterday by Judge Walter
j. Casey in Police Court.
The witness, Samuel Josey, colored,
was found in contempt of court
for giving false testimony on the
stand and sentenced to pay a fine
of $40 or serve term in Jail.
JoSey had testified he had read
an affidavit before signing it. In
turn, he was pressed to read it
again by Denny Hughes, attorney
for a man and woman in a liquor
case. Josey said he did not have
his glasses and could not see well
enough to read the affidavit. He
was allowed to go to his home to
get them, but still did not read the
document satisfactorily. Likewise,
he testified he had written notes
regarding the case. Judge Casey
then had Josey attempt to copy
them and decided the notes were
not in the witness handwriting and
JoSey later admitted some one else
had written the notes for him.
While finding the witness in con-
tempt, Judge Casey, who is pre-
siding in jury branch of Police
Court, ordered a directed verdict
of not guilty against the two de-
PENDANTS, against whom Josey had
been the principal witness.

Appeals Court Clerk
Refuses TO Subpoena
Three Justices
Unusual Request Made
In Long -Drown-Out
Divorce Litigation

A request that three District Court
justices be subpoenaed as witnesses
in hearing before the United States
Court of Appeals was rejected today.
The Court of Appeals does not
customarily hear witnesses and the
request for the subpoenaing of three
judges was said by court attaches to
be unprecedented.
Attorney Samuel LeboWitZ made
the request for the subpoenas in
letter to the clerk of the court,
Joseph w. Stewart. Mr.. Stewart re-
fused to issue the subpoenas, on the
grounds that the case, which is set
for hearing Monday, involved only
arguments on law as to the juriSdic-
tion of the court
The action is on a long -drawn-out
divorce case involving George A.
Brown, an electrician who lives in
Mount Rainier Md, and Mary Es-
telle Brown, 3435 Brown street NV.
The couple first went to court in
July, 1888, when Mr.. Brown filed
suit for divorce. His wife filed a
croSs-bill and during the next two
years hearings were held on differ
ent motions by District Court JUS
tices Oscar ]. Luhring, Jennings
Bailey and Daniel w. ODonoghue.
Mrs. Brown appealed a decision
in the case to the Court of Appeals
and was granted maintenance. Mr..
Brown refused to pay this on the
grounds that the Court of Appeals
had no right TO order such payments
when the lower court had not
done so.
He has been ordered to show cause
why he is not in contempt of the
appellate court and it is on this
action that the hearing is set on
Monday. Mr.. Lebowitz said he con-
sidered that the Court of Appeals
was acting in effect as a trial court
and for that reason had made the
request for subpoenaing witnesses.
The three District Court justices,
he contended, could testify as to
the lower court actions. He said
he would press for issuance of
Subpoenas on Monday in spite of
the clerks decision.

Justice Holmes Paid
Tribute by Roosevelt
On Centenary Of Birth
Wisdom and Service Of
Late Jurist Praised in
Formal Statement

Tribute to the late Associate Jus
tice Oliver Wendell Holmes was paid
publicly today by President Roose-
welt in a formal statement marking
the Tooth anniversary of the birth
of the distinguished Supreme Court
jurist.
ut is the quality of great men,"
Mr. Roosevelt said, that they con-
tinue to live long after they are
gone. We celebrate the birthday an
niversaries of those who in the past
have wrought enduringly for the re-
public in order to refresh our spirit
and strengthen our will for the tasks
of our own day. In reverence Of his
memory and regard for our own
needs, it is appropriate that we
should pause on Saturday, March
8, to draw strength and encourage
ment from the life of the late Mr..
Justice Holmes, who was born 100
years ago.
"Oliver Wendell Holmes, jr., was
born within few days of the in
auguration of William Henry Har-
rison as President. Merely to recall
that fact suggests the transforma-
tions in our national life in the CEN
tury between March 8, 1841, and
March 8, 1941, that make William
Henry Harrison remote from our
thoughts today.
But Mr.. Justice Holmes wisdom
and services to his country kept
abreast of these changes whether as
hero on battlefeldS or in the less
dramatic struggles within a judges
private conscience. Mr.. Justice
Holmes life was devoted to those
ultimate purposes of civilization to
which the founders dedicated this
Nation. He believed passionately in
the moral worth of the individual
regardless of race or religion or the
accident of antecedentS. He there
fore believed in the unfettered spirit
without which man cannot live
civilized life.
This is the faith by which Mr..
Justice Holmes was moved to the
high endeavor of his life. This is
the faith in which he lived and
died. This faith he commemorated
by leaving his modest fortune to
the Government as the representa-
tive and the agent Of the people Of
the United States. We do well to
cherish the life and memory of this
great man as part Of our national
heritage"

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, March "a peace treaty
settling the Thailand-French Indo-

Professionally tomorrow, reliable
quarters predicted today.
The signing, these sources said, is
being held up only pending final
word from the French government
at Vichy.
Agreement on the principal
points" of a Japanese mediation
plan was announced last Thursday
after a conference between Foreign
Minister Yosuke Matsuoka and
French Ambassador Charles Arsene
Henry on the final details.
Reports from Vichy indicated ac-
ton on the agreement might be
taken at meeting of the French
Council of Ministers today.
An informed source said last night
at Vichy that the French probably
saved virtually all of the rich prov
ince of Cambodia by orering Thai
land a corridor to the Chinese from
tier in the north instead.
This source said it was believed
the Japanese favored the corridor
suggestion for military reasons and
would persuade Thailand to accept
it instead of the Cambodia rice dis
tricts Thailand had wanted.
The French were reported to have
agreed to give up a thin western
strip of Cambodia and sections of
Laos Province west of the Mekong
River.

Combodio Border Reported
Point in Negotiations

SAIGON, French Indo-China,
March 8 P.-Authoritative quar-
tiers here said today one of the prin-
cipal points at stake in negotiations
In Toxic for treaty to end the
Thailand-Indo- China frontier con-
flict was the proposed establishment
of a new borderline through rich
Cambodia Province.
This, they said, was far more
important to the Indo-Chinese than
the slice Of Laos asked by the Thai
landerS, since the LaSo area con-
sisted mainly of unprospected and
mountainous jungle.
The Cambodia section near the
Thai border which japanese quar-
tiers said Thailand was known to
want is approximately the size of
West Virginia and contains about
100000 inhabitants, 300 of them
French.
The area contains rice, corn, pep
per and rubber plantations valued
at many hundreds OF thousands of
dollars, together with a sapphire
mine near Palm.
The entire area produces an esti-
mated 100000 tons of rice and as
much corn annually, and also huge
quantities of pepper for export. The
largest single rice plantation-20
square mileS-is near Battambang..
1t is French-owned, produces the
best rice in Indo-China and is the
only plantation in the colony using
American farm machinery.
The 1,000-year- ruins Of Ang-
kor Vat, northeast of Battembang,
also are in the area which may go
to Thailand, reliable sources said.
