Correction

1t was enormously reported in yes
terday's Star that four Yugoslav
flyers had been denied American
citizenship by District Court Justice
Schweinhaut becaues they were not
at any time members of the United
States Army.
The men are members of the
American Army, but they were COM
missioned in Italy The law under
which they sought citizenship pro-
vides that aliens must be enlisted or
indicted in the Army lin the United
States" and it was on this ground
that the application of the Yugoslavs
was denied.
The flyers had been sent to this
country for training in 1912 by Gen
Mihailovitch, who later was executed
under the regime of his successor,
Marshal Tito. The young pilots say
that they, too, face possible execu-
ton if sent back to Yugoslavia.

morning at his home in Seton VIII
lage, 10 miles south of Santa Fe.
Still active despite his years, the
naturalist only a short time ago
completed his 42d book and had
made plans for l0,000-mile lee
ture tour. He also helped place a
now roof on his 50,000-volume Ii
brary recently.
Mr.. Seton died at his 30-room
adobe residence which sits in a o.
500-acre tract.
The call of the wild lured Mr..
Seton over lonely prairie trails and
to the solitude of trackless forests
to fame as naturalist, artist, au-
thor and lecturer.
Few names in modern times have
been better known to students OF
nature lore and wild life.

A prolific writer, his enduring
fame, rests primarily on wild AMI

District Heads 10 Ask
Congress 10 Clear Up
Bond Tax Issue Here

The District Commissioners today
postponed until July l any attempt
that the city might make to tax the
interest from Government bonds
bought by District banks since March
%, 1912
They said the delay was ordered to
give the bankers a chance to have
the new Congress clarity the law on
the issue this winter.
At the same time they made it
clear they are neither approving
nor disapproving" the opinion OF
Corporation Counsel Vernon E. West
that such tax is legal. Mr.. West
has argued that the Federal Debt
Act of 1912 makes the interest from
bonds bought after March %, 1912
taxable by Federal Tax Acts"
Factors in Decision.
In making their decision the
Commissioners said they had been
Influenced by statements from both
the controller Of the Treasury that
the 1912 act had not intended to
allow the District to tax Govern
ment bond interest.
They said they also had taken
into consideration statements by
District bankers that such a tax
would seriously affect the capital
structure of banks and trust COM
panies here.
1t was the prospect of having
their Government bond interest
subject to District tax, however
which has bothered District bank
ing circles ever since Mr.. Vests
opinion was officially disclosed at
"a conference at the District
Building September Is.
Other Points Approved.
The remainder of Mr.. West S
opinion was approved by the Com
missioners. These other points
were. ls1 js5f4 ,syit. u
l. Gross earnings" as used in the
laws taking the banks means gross

gross income to get net income
are not allowed.
Z. Interest from state, county and
municipai bonds and similar secur-
tiles may not constitutionally be
taxed under q gross earnings tax

3. Gains from the tsale or ex-
change of capital assets are gross

subject to tax.

DR.. Reissig Explains
Part in Amnesty Plea
For War Directors

DR.. Frederick E. Reissig execu-
tive secretary OF the Washington
Federation OF Churches, in letter
to The Star explains his connec-
ton with a recent visit of min
isterial committee 10 the White
House to ask amnesty for con-
scientious obJectors.
In the letter. DR.. Reissig re-em-
phasizes that he took no part in
the picketing of the White House.
as incorrectly stated in The Star
of last Thursday.
The letter follows:
Since your paper carried stories
Of the amnesty conference held in
Washington october 16, thought
your readers might also be inter-
ested In knowing of the various
church bodies which have taken ac-
ton favoring the President of the
United States granting amnesty to
the 5000 conscientious objectors.
These bodies are:
Federal Council of the Churches
Of Christ in America, Methodist
Church, Prote estant Episcopal
Church, Presbyterian Church in the
United States of America, Congress
sional Christian Churches, Evangel-
icai and Reformed Church, Joint
Conference Committee on Public
Relations of the Baptist Convention,
United Lutheran Church in Amer
ica United Council of Church
Women, Central Conference Of
American Rabbis and the Rabbinical
Assembly of America.
Il want to take this opportunity
also to correct statement regard
ing my participation in this confer
ence. Your paper gave the impress
sion in its story that I not only
picketed the White House with other
ministers, but also that I was the
leader of this project. May I present
the facts. Also I am whole
in favor of amnesty.
L had no part whatsoever in
picketing the White House. Much
less was 1 the leader of the group.
The entire project was planned by
the Amnesty Committee in New
York City. l did, however, help to
arrange an interview with Mr.. David
Niles, administrative assistant to the
President, and did see Mr.. Niles in
company with five other ministers.
I was also one Of five to visit the
Office of the Assistant to the Attor-
ney General in regard to amnesty.
Due to the fact that so many
of the church bodies had taken ac-
tion in their national conventions
favoring amnesty, including my own
denomination, which took favorable
action just the week before, I felt
perfectly justified in taking part
in these interviews with those in
Government in a position to work
for amnesty.
Il do not wish In any way to
criticize those who took part in
these poster demonstrations. They.
no doubt. felt that the matter was
50 serious that it must be presented
in this dramatic fashion. don't
pretend to judge the action, but
wish to correct the report which
indicated that I took part In this
demonstration. Also this story ap-
peared in many papers throughout
the United States. giving an in
correct report OF my part in the
amnesty conference. I do not here
by criticize your paper, for I do
appreciate the fact that you do lay
great stress on accurate report
