Six Forgeries Blamed
By Fredericksburg
Banker for Failure
BY the Associated Press.

FREDERICKSBURG. Va, June
19-The trial OF w. r. Gardner,
former vice president and director
of the Farmers and Merchants State
Bank here, on charges of larceny
and embezzlement of $4,000 from
the now defunct bank, went into its
second day today before Judge Leon
M. Bazille in Circuit Court.
Testifying during closing hours
OF the opening day yesterday were
John F. Gouldman, jr., organizer of
the bank In 1906 and its cashier
until 1888 when he became presi-
dent; J. Gary Trivvy, cashier of the
Purcellville National Bank, and Mrs.
Lavalette G. Hardesty and Mrs.
Ethel Chewing, former employees
OF the Farmers and Merchants
State Bank.
Cites Six Notes.
Mr.. Gouldman. for many years
leading f1nancier in Eastern Vir-
ginia, testified that his personal loss
in the bank, which failed in January,
totaled $272,000 He attributed the
failure of the bank in part to six
forged and fictitious" notes aggre-
eating $226, 900, which he said had
been made without his authority or
knowledge and which were not re-
ported to the directors
The notes. he said, were made out
in the handwriting of Gardner, and
said they were not discovered until
the latter had resigned from the
bank in April, 1914, on request after
he had been given leave OF absence
on advice of a physician.
Gardner was arrested May II, 1914,
on warrant sworn out by Mr..
Gouldman, and charged with the
theft of s50,000 from the bank.
Signatures Repudiated.
Mr.. Gouldman testified that the
persons whose names were allegedly
signed to the six forged notes had
repudiated their signatures. He
quoted Gardner as saying, in the
presence Of witnesses, Il took the
money" when confronted with the
statements sent to the Embassy
Dairy. Washington. and the Green
Springs Dairy, Baltimore, showing
$50,000 shortage. The bank official
said Gardner had made restitution
OF sl2.500 before his arrest, leaving
a net shortage of $37, 500.
In opening statements w. w.
Butzner of defense counsel con-
tended that there had been no lar
ceny and no embezzlement and said
that Withdrawals made by Gardner
were authorized.

BaIikpapan Oil Center
|Bombarded for DAYS,
Tokyo Radio Reports
BY the Associated Press.


MANILA, June 19.-Allied naval
and air forces have been bombarding
the Balikpapan oil refinery center
OF Western Borneo for days, Japa-
nese broadcasts reported today, but
there are as yet no definite indica-
tions that the enemy plans" to in
wade the area.
The Tokyo radio said the naval
bombardment began last Friday
There has been no confirmation of
any Of the japanese broadcasts
which first reported that a fleet OF
more than 20 warships, including
three battleships and an aircraft
carrier, was moving toward Balik-
papan last Thursday.
Today's Southwest Pacific COM
munique told of continued air raids
on Balikpapan defense advances on
two accomplished invasions of
Borneo, and gains in the Philip
pines, sometimes by troops meeting
practically no Japanese except those
coming in to surrender.
Yanks Gain on LuzOn.
Greatest progress was registered
in Luzons Carayan Valley, where
Gen. Macarthur announced that
the 37th Infantry Division was
pounding rapidly northward down
the main highway toward the Caga-
yam River crossing at Naguilian.
The retreating enemy was forced to
use OK carts in frantic effort to
save some of his equipment
| Hamilton Faron, Associated Press
war correspondent, said hastily
withdrawing Japanese, harassed
constantly by the 5th Air Force, ar
tillery fire and tanks, were virtually
whipped.
"All along the highways en- route
to the front, far up the broad plains
OF the Cagayan Valley, saw shat
tered enemy trucks, tanks and other
mechanical vehicles" Mr. Faron
said 1T is compelling evidence of
the pounding the enemy transports
took as they pulled back before the
driving 37th.
AT one river crossing nearly
dozen trucks were lying on their
side in the water near the river
bank. Near this point the 37th's air
support had made its biggest bag,
knocking out approximately 100
trucks and 200 carts.
Japs Using Ok Carts.
This use of carabao-drawn OK
carts in military convoy shows
clearly what difficulties the Japa-
nese are under in trying to hang on
to part of their equipment as they
retreat north. At another spot for

way No. 5, enemy trucks famed for

the I'd Armored Division, which is
being deployed elsewhere.
Army commanders could scarcely
have picked units less likely to have
kindly feelings toward the Germans.
While many of the veteran members
of these outfits have enough points
for early discharge from the service,
the commands will remain virtually
intact and there will be a goodly
number in the ranks who have bitter
memories of the campaigns behind.
Perhaps the best known of all is
the fighting 1st Infantry Division,
which landed in North Africa two
years ago, fought into Tunisia, took
a terrible beating from Marshal
Rommel's Panzers at Kasserine Pass
and then came back to help drive
the enemy to confused surrender at
Cape Bon.
The 1st stormed the beaches OF
Sicily and later. with one combat
team from the 29th, spearheaded the
invasion of Normandy by landing on
bloody Omaha Beach. The 1st swept
through France. preached the Sieg-
fried Line. captured Aachen and
fought through the dark Hurtgen
Forest. Last December it helped
block Marshal Won Rundstedts
Ardennes drive and finally it crossed
the Rhine and rolled on into the
heart of Germany. 1t is now under
Maj. Gen. Cliff Andrus of Wash
ington.
The list, part Of the Sd Army,
has been assigned to a triangular
area between Ansbach, Neustadt
and Rottenburg.
The Sd Infantry Division. now
under Maj. Gen. Iron Mike
O'Daniel, first went into action in
the last stages of the Tunisian
campaign. 1t captured Palermo and
Messina in Sicily and spearheaded
the landing at Anzio.
The Sd invaded Southern France
with the 7th Army on August Is,
and wound up the European cam
paign with more awards for in
dividual heroism than any other
combat unit. 1t also suffered more
casualties than any other division.
The Sd, now near Berchtesgaden,
will take up positions in the Hers
feld-Eschwege area west of Leipzig
with the 7th Army.
The 82d Air-borne Division made
its combat debut as a division by
jumping onto the beaches of Sicily
before the infantry went ashore
It's men fought as infantry in Italy
and landed behind the Germans
Cherbourg Peninsula coastal de-
fenses on D day in a brilliantly ex-

Scholarly Awards
Are Held Tax Free
By Court Of Appeals

The United States Court of Ap-
peals yesterday declared that re
quiring winners of scholarly awards
to pay taxes on them would con-
flict with the wise and settled policy
OF encouraging scholarly work."
The court made this statement in
reversing decision OF the United
States Tax Court which held that
Malcolm McDermott, a Duke Uni
versity law professor, should pay in
come tax on $1,000 prize awarded
him by the American Bar Associa-
ton for an essay on the subject
ITO What Extent Should Decisions
of Administrative Tribunals be Re-
viewable by the Courts"
The award was made from q trust
fund of 100000 set up under the
will of Erskine M. Ross, a retired
Federal judge. who died in 1923.
The Tax Court had ruled that the
prize came under the heading of in
come and therefore was taxable.
The court in yesterdays decision
however, ruled that the prize was. a
gift and not taxable
In the opinion, written by Justice
Henry w. Edgerton, the appellate
court said:
The American Bar Association
neither derived nor sought any
profit from the contest or from the
petitioners participation in it, On
the contrary, the entire undertaking
was an expense to the trust; the
entire advantage accrued to petit
toner (the professor and the COM
munity. This. among other things
distinguishes the prize from
puzzles, guessing contests and pub
fishers contests operated for COM
mercial purposes"
In further comment on the case
the court declared: Trust income
which is to be used exclusively for
charitable or educational purposes
is specifically exempted from taxa
ton. ="
Chief Justice D. Lawrence Groner
wrote brief dissenting opinion in
which he expressed the view the
award was compensation and hence
within the meaning of the tax
statutes"
Justice Thurman Arnold heard
the case with Justices Edgerton and
! Groner.
