Schenck Defense
Loses Final Fight
For Dismissal

NEW YORK, April IA (UP)- The
defense of Joseph NJ. Schenck. film
executive charged with income tax
fraud, failed in its final efforts to
obtain dismissal of the case today
in the chambers of federal Judge
Grover Moscowitz.
With the jury excused until to-
morrow when summations are sche-
duled to begin. defense Attorney
Harold H. Corbin argued that the
evidence presented by the govern
ment did not constitute a case and
that improper evidence had been
admitted.
Corbin also contended that one
avenue of defense had been blocked
by the treasury department ruling
denying him the right TO question
treasury agents on confidential mat
ters. He asked for dismissal of the
indictments singly and jointly and
asserted that the practice of "esti-
mates" on complicated income tax
returns was a usual practice and
that Schenck's use of this method
did not imply evasion.
United States Attorney Matthias
Correa III turn assured the court
he had advised the local office Of
the treasury that it should make
available to Corbin any information
he desired. He added that Corbin
did call several treasury agents to
the stand but that Judge MoscoWitz
rejected their testimony as imma-
terial.
Judge scowitz then ruled
against all of Corbin's motions. The
defense attorney will sum up tomor =
row with Correa summing up in the
morning session Wednesday.

The important labor mediation
bill by Senators George Biggar,
Mendoc:no county and Ed Fletcher,

several weeks ago and action today
was unexpected. An amendment
adopted today sets up five COM
missions of five members each, rep
resenting the general groups of
manufacturing. transportation, mer-
chandising. services and building
construction.
Biggar explained that employers
and employees each nominate SIX
persons for each of the commits
sions, from which the governor would
appoint two from each list, and
these four would select a fifth
member for chairman. The act pro-
videS that no strike or lockout can
be called prior to or during the
time dispute is being heard. A
conciliator in charge of the program
would be paid $4,000.
The labor committee tabled two
bills by Senator John Shelley which
agricultural interests opposed. One
would extend the minimum wages
and hours law for women to cover
men, excepting agricultural workers
of employers with less than a $500
yearly payroll
The other would prohibit the
transportation of strikepreakers
Ralph Taylor, secretary of the CAL
ifornia agricultural council. opposed
both bills, claiming farmers were
in worse condition than at any
time in the last % years. He said
the strikebreaker bill would hinder
farmers from transporting migrant
