tired of being embarrassed" May
declared.
II kept after him until finally
got this or that particular check.
I had got tired of putting up my
own money. OF course, knew they
would always reimburse me and
they always did"
Seeking to prove that May took
more than $4,000 in bribes from
the Carson brothers, William A.
Paisley, special Government pro-
secutor, fred numerous questions at
the witness in demanding detailed
account of every check he received
from the munitions makers and
every withdrawal he made on bank
deposits. ~.
Denies Trying to Conceal Funds.
May denied that he attempted to
conceal $1,000 Carson check and
a $500 bank draft in a statement
his attorneys prepared last Sep
tember for a Senate War Investi-
eating Committee.
At the start Of today's session,
May told the court that he had re-
fresned his recollection over the
weekend. He said he was mistaken
in testifying last week that Henry
Carson came to his Office in June,
1916, and that they asked former
Senator James Mead, Democrat, of
New York, then committee chair
man, If they were being investi-
gated. May said he now recalled
that this meeting was early In
September, 1945.
The Government declares that
May and a*the Garssons changed
financial records and took other
precautionary measures late in 1945
when they became aware that they
were being investigated. f
Recipient Not Identified.
Mays testimony today concern
ing the $1,000 campaign contribu-
ton he made in 1914 did not go into
detail as to the recipient of the
money. He indicated, however, that
the contribution covered campaign
expenses in his Congressional dis
trict in Kentucky.
Mr.. Paisley said he hopes to COM
plete the cross-examination late
this afternoon. After a brief re-
direct examination, defense attor-
neys planned to call a few more
witnesses for May and then put
Henry Carson on the stand.
The trial started April % and is
not expected to end until the second
week in June. Because of Memorial
Day Friday and the annual outing
of the District Bar Association next
Monday there will be no court ses-
sions Thursday to Tuesday. Justice
Henry A. Schweinhaut informed the
jury. ..-

rapid progress will be made on a
score of amendments and the bill
ought to pass this week.
The measure provides cuts rang
ing from los per cent in taxes on
big incomes to 80 per cent in the
lower brackets.
Two Democratic substitutes will
receive early consideration.
One. by Senator Mcclellan of
Arkansas would provide a $3,000,-
000, 600 tax cut over a years opera
ton by increasing personal exemp-
tions from the present fiat $500 to
$3.50 for single and 81 500 for mar
ried persons, plus $500 for each de-
pendent. He also would permit hus-
bands to split their incomes with
their wives for tax purposes In all
States, saving taxpayers another
$500, ,000, 900. This is now permitted
only in nine States with community
property laws.
Lucas Has Another Plan.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Illi-
nois would reduce taxes by another
approach and make the cuts effec-
tive next January l. His substitute
would raise personal exemptions to
$500, provide for split-income the
same as Senator Mcclellan, and
trim two percentage points off each
surtax rate.
Senator George agreed with Sem
ator Millikin that the community
property extension plan should be
considered in a general revision
measure such as is now under study
by the House Ways and Means Com
mittee for 1948.
The Georgian favors the Nc
Clellan idea, however. He told re-
porters If the advantage now held
by husbands in the nine community
property States is not extended to
all, there might be Is or 20 States
adopting the split-income idea in
the future, thus boosting the loss of
revenue to the Government. This
loss amounted to sits, 900 900 in 1916,
according to Mr.. Mcclellan.
Oregon is due to become the tenth
community property State in July
by virtue of a newly enacted State
law.

Urged by LiIienthaI
BY the As.eeioisd Press

CHICAGO, May 26.-David E.
hilienthal called today for greater
public understanding of the issues
involved In atomic energy decisions
Terming them among "the most
important decision in our history
as a nation" the chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission said
they should be made on the basis
Of treason and Judgment" rather
than under the compulsions of hys-
terra and fear..'
"These decisions will affect our
most cherished institutions, Mr.
Lflfenthal added in addressing the
Inland Press Association. ''These
are not scientific or industrial de-
ciSions. They are human decisions
decisions about human organization
about our way of life, about the
relations of science to our well
being, about the issues of peace, or
of war-war of destructiveneSs be-
yond our Imagination"
Mr.. Lilienthal said the American
Press can play key role in in
creasing public understanding.
Responsibility for the presenta-
ton and Interpretation or the facts
about atomic energy should not be
vested in any Federal Government
agency" the chairman asserted
land it should not be the function
of the Atomic Energy Commission
except for the safeguarding OF
Americas secret technical know
ledge. 1t Is rather a task for the
educational institutions of the coun-
try of which the press is a key in
stitution."
Mr.. LiIenthal said that to keep
people informed Of "the potentiali-
ties and realities of this discovery
that we call atomic energy" does
not mean disclosure of secret in
formation.
But he asserted that an illustra-
.tion Of the kind of knowledge that
must become general is this:
"That the scientific basis OF
nuclear energy release is not an
American monopoly, that this sci
entific knowledge about atomic en-
ergy is part of a basic store OF
knowledge that is worldwide, and
that other nations, including Rus
sia, will inevitably in time have
learned on their own what we know
today. y"

he had escaped-a colored preacher
called Solicitor Ernest r. Tyler.
Bush was ready to surrender, the
preacher said, If Mr.. Tyler would
guarantee he would not be harmed.
Mr.. Tyler and two FBI agents
went to an appointed place and
found Bush. They brought him to
prison here last night.
The solicitor would permit no in
terviews and gave out only the bare
facts of the surrender. However, it
was learned here that Bush had re-
manned in the woods until early
yesterday, finally going to the home
of a friend after being without food
since his escape.
Bush was charged with attempt
Ing to attack Mrs. Margaret Allen
Bryant, a young stenographer, last
Thursday night in Rich Square, a
small community in Northampton
County IL miles from jackson.
Identified by Boys.
He was arrested by Frank Outland
Rich Square police chief, and was
identified by three high school boys
who ran to Mrs. Bryant's rescue
when she screamed. Chief Outland
said Bush denied any knowledge OF
the alleged assault attempt and told
him that he had been waiting for
my girl"
Chief Outland took the prisoner
to the county jail about 10 O'Clock
Thursday night. Jailer E. w. Ed
wards reported that the masked men
knocked on the Jail door about four
hours later. They forced their way
Into the Jail and took the niger.
They said that was their price"
Mr.. Tyler said that on learning
of Bush's arrest he had tried to
have him removed from the county
for safekeeping because of racial
tension existing in the rural COM
munity, where two of every three
persons is colored.
Delayed in Reaching Sheriff.
Mr.. Tyler said he was delayed in
reaching Mr.. Edwards or Sheriff
j. C. Stephenson by telephone and
when he did complete call to Mr.
Edwards he learned that Bush had
been seized only 5 minutes before.
Only three weeks ago a group OF
white men surrounded the jackson
Jail where two colored men were be-
ing held on charges of another at
tempted assault in Rich Square
They were removed from the jail
before trouble occurred.
Mr.. Tyler was asked if he had OBJ
tanned any clues from Bush as to
the identity of the mob.
I'm sorry. I cannot answer that
question at this time he replied
He added that we're trying to
find those people who got him out
of there"
Upon learning that Bush was ir
custody, Gov. R. Gregg Cherry
said: I'm glad that the boy is
still alive. a. I still think those
who took him should be ferreteo
out and brought to justice"
Earlier the Governor had ordered
