BALTIMORE, Jan. 15.-Trial OF
Lawrence Goldberg, At, Washington
liquor dealer, on charges of wilfully
evading Federal income taxes, was
resumed today before a jury in Fed
eral Court. Judge w. Calvin Ches-
nut is presiding.
Goldberg, who admitted that he
operated a numbers lottery in addi-
ton to his liquor business, pleaded
innocent at the opening of his trial
yesterday.
The Government charged that
Goldberg wilfully evaded more than
S116 900 in Federal income taxes in
1912 and 1943. 1t was alleged that
he reported income of sl3,04352 for
1912 and $62 $500 for 1943.
Actually, the Government con-
tended. ne had a net income of
s61 ,049 IA in 1912 and s160,855.72 In
1943.
Goldberg contended through his
attorney, Simon E. Sobeloff, that he
did not Wilfully make erroneous re-
ports of his income
He asserted that he reported all
his earnings, including his lottery
income, to his personal accountant
but the latter failed to report the
gambling income in his tax returns
! Goldberg said he deposited all his
gambling earnings in bank. How
ever, he contended, his accountant
treated them as reinvestment of cap.
ital funds of the liquor business.

Supreme Court Backs
Right TO Tax States
In 3-Way Decision

The Supreme Court has reaffirmed
the right of the Federal Govern
ment to tax State activities which
are outside the scope of the ordi-
nary functions of government.
In a case yesterday which pro-
duced three-way split among the
eight members present, the court
ruled that the Federal Government
could collect an excise tax on min
eral water bottled by the State of
New York at the States Saratoga
Springs reservation.
Six members of the court upheld
the tax, but these divided on the
extent to which the Federal Gov
ernment may tax the States.
Two Defend Right.
Justice Frankfurter, with Justice
Rutledge concurring, said that $50
long as Congress generally taps a
source of revenue by whomever
earned and not uniquely capable of
being earned only by a State, the
Constitution of the United States
does not forbid it merely because its
incidence falls also on a State"
Chief Justice Stone, who was
Joined by Justices Reed, Murphy and
Burton, refused to go this far, hold
ing that in certain circumstances
such principle might infringe on
the sovereignty of a State. The
Chief Justice said that the recipro-
cal tax immunity enjoyed by Fed
eral and State governments must be
so construed as to allow to each
government reasonable scope for its
taxing power"
Earlier Decisions Made.
Justices Douglas and Black dis
sented.
Yesterdays ruling rested in large
part on earlier decisions upholding
Federal taxation on the sale of nq-
uor by South Carolina and Ohio
After yesterdays session the court
adjourned for two weeks without
acting on japanese Gen. Yama-
shita's request for intervention in
military trial proceedings which
sentenced him to death Within
that period, however, the court
could, if it saw fit, announce what
action was being taken.
