ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 5.-Trial
of Robert w. Snyder, IS, in Mont
gomery County Circuit Court, which
convicted the boy of numbering
his foster father and sentenced him
to life imprisonment, was upheld
yesterday by the Court of Appeals
Chief Judge Ogle Marbury de-
clared in his written opinion, 1--WE

the magistrate for juvenile causes
in Montgomery County does not
extend to children who commit an
act which, if committed by an adult
would be a crime punishable by
death or life imprisonment"
Attorneys for the boy asked that
the case be sent back for trial in
the county Juvenile Court.

proceedings that the county court
should not recognize the offense
because ne is a child under the
age of 16 years had been denied.
The boy was convicted of shoot

Motion for Outside Judge
In LauqhIin Trial Denied

Trial of Attorney James J. Laugh
lin on a charge of procuring an
illegal operation for young woman
moved nearer today following denial
Of his motion asking that a judge
from another Jurisdiction be as
signed to preside in the case.
Justice Richmond B. Keech of Dis
trict Court, who acted on the motion
late yesterday, took the request
under advisement last Friday. This
was after Mr.. Laughlins attorney,
T. Emmett Mckenzie, had argued
that it would be difficult for any
District Court justice to deal with
the case effectively because Mr.,
Laughlin has participated in many
bitterly contested cases before the
court here.
The case now has been tentatively
set for trial on November 20.
In denying the motion, Justice
Keech pointed out that he himself
has been assigned to preside at the
trial of the case in which Mr.. Laugh
lin is jointly indicted with DR.. Hen
ry L. Peckham. jr., Southeast Wash
ington physician, and said he '"has
no question of his capacity to deal
with the case against the defend
ant Laughlin on an entirely objec-

Cotton Mill Workers
See General go Raise
BY the Associated Press

DANVILLE, Va, Nov. 5.-Off1cials
of the Textile Workers Union Of
America looked to southeastern cot
ton mills today for indications that
they may follow a wage pattern set
yesterday when the big Dan River
Cotton Mills here agreed to 9 per
cent wage increase for its II 1000 en-
ployes on November 10.
Union officials said they expected
the Danville agreement ito set the
pattern for settlements throughout
the South" in mills in which the
TWUA previously had set Thursday
for strike in the event of failure
to reach satisfactory wage agree
ments.
However, they said the strike
deadline still was being adhered to
in the Irwin, Lowenstein and Cone
chains, which, a formal union state
ment declared, will be approached
Immediately to see if they are agree
able to the new level"
The Dan River Mills contract rep
resents an. increase of S2,500,000 in
the annual payroll of the mill and
raises the average earning of mill
employees from 81 cents hourly to
Sill. The contract sets new
minimum wage of 81 cents.
The walkout threat in the SOUTH
eastern mills materialized last Sum-
day following meeting here at
which TWUA officials voted for q
strike Thursday if demands for 15-
cent hourly wage increases had not
been met by that time.

In his testimony today Mr.. Wilson
stressed that he did not want to cast
any reflection on the merits of the

Mr.. Hughes was on the stand and
doing most of the talking when the
hearings recessed abruptly last
August in a manner he regarded
as a crash landing for the subcom-
mittee.
Mr.. Meyer at the time was hard
to locate. He later was served with
a subpoena for appearance Novem-
ber II at the scheduled reopening
of the hearings. Mr.. Hughes, also
under subpoena for that date, prom
ised to come back. Senator Fergu-
son explained last night that the
change from November II to No

nesses technically are not under
subpoena now. Mr.. Hughes was
quoted in California several days
ago as saying he had every inten-
ton of testifying again if given the
chance. -

about a week would be necessary to

he said, acted on their own initia-
tive in setting up the system.
Cites March 81 Order.
It was not until March 81, Mr..
Robinson said, that President Tru-
man in his loyalty order directed
the board to draw up set of secur-
| ity classification standards for all
Federal departments to follow.
The board then drafted defini-
tions for what information is con-
sidered should be withheld from
the public as top secret" secret" "
confidential and "restricted' ma
terial. The definitions closely fol-
lowed those the board had set forth
in the earlier booklet, Mr.. Robinson
said.
One definition said that papers
should be kept confidential" if they
would be prejudicial to ANY gov
ernmental activity or would
cause serious administrative en-
barrassment or difficulty." Another
said papers should be kept "secret"
if they would cause serious injury"
to the interest of a governmental
activity.
Many newspapers and the Amer
lean Society of Newspaper Editors
condemned the definitions, charg-
ing that they would enable officials
to hide even ordinary practices OF
civilian agencies from the public.
AS result of the protests, Mr..
Robinson said, the board struck out
the most Objectionable phrases.
Mr.. Driver, however, said the VA
classification plan had nothing to
do with the draft being prepared
for the President.

decided whether the agency will take

Mr.. Robinson said he knew of no

they had no need for 1t because they
did not have documents essential to
the Nations security.
After the board sent out first

real value but that this may not
be apparent to the people. Hence
great advantage could be derived,
the officials say, from making avail
able certain amounts of gold as
currency reserves to replace those
that have been drained off both by
the war and by postwar imports OF
such essentials as food and fuel.
The whole idea would be to pro-
vide more or less visible evidence of
the strength of local currencies.
Neither the gold nor the dollars
furnished under the stabilization
program would be available for in
creasing the amount of goods the
receiving countries could buy under
the Marshall plan itself.
However, the authorities who
speak in favor of the gold proposal
say it would contribute greatly to
the internal fiscal stability of the
cooperating European governments
and that eventually those countries
presumably would be able to return
the sterilization funds to the Amer
ican Treasury.
Not Tied to Bevin Plan.
British Foreign Secretary Bevin
caused somewhat of a stir several
weeks ago with suggestion that
the United States "redistrioute" its
Fort Knox gold hoard in order to
increase the buying power of other
countries.
Oficials backing the current plan
insist, however, that it is not tied
to the Bevin suggestion because
none of the gold or dollars could
be spent in trade transactions.
If the administration decides to
include the stabilization fund as
part of the official Marshall plan,
it will mean asking Congress to
make available a total of between
SO, 100000 and $4,000, 1000, 900
next year for European recovery
operations
Meanwhile, with time running
short for the final stages of Mar
shall program planning, Secretary
of Commerce Hartman, Undersec-
retary of State Lovett and other
American officials met yesterday
with Sir Oliver Franks and men,
bers of a European committee to
review American thinking" on the
recovery problem.
The Europeans are understood to
have been urged to get the 16 ma
tions they represent to take prompt
and vigorous steps to carry out their
own recovery projects as rapidly as
possible. These include boosting
their production, increasing their
exports and taking any measures
they can to attain maximum fiscal
stability.

BY the Associated Press

MOSCOW, Nov. 5.-Red banners,
strings of electric lights and huge
portraits of Soviet leaders blossomed

some tax relief to small corpora
tions. However. the present ar
rangem:ent, whereby a rate of SO per
cent is applicable to the net income
between $4,000 and $4,000, is de-
fective. 1t should be changed to
provide a smooth transition between
the lowest currently 21 per cent?
and the standard corporation rate
currently 38 per cent?.
"3. Fluctuating business incomes:
The committee recommends that the
net operating loss carry-forward be
extended from two to seven years
and that the net operating loss
earry-back be discontinued.
q. Intercorporate dividends and
consolidated corporate returns: The
committee recommends that corpora
tions receive full credit for divi-
dends received from other corpora
tions which have already been sub
jected to the Federal income tax Gin
stead Of the present IS per cent
credit. It also recommends that
the per cent differential charged
against corporations for the priv
tlege" of making consolidated re-
turn be eliminated.
Would Close Loopholes.
IS. Capital gains taxation: The
committee recommends that the
current rate and method of taxing
capital gains be continued with
certain notifications to close loop
holes and to give more equitable
treatment to capital losses.
IS. Tax exempt organizations: In
view of the fact that the Commit
tee on Ways and Means is about to
hold hearings in which the argu-
ment on both sides of the subject
will be presented in great detail, the
Special Tax Study Committee be-
lieves that any recommendation
should be postponed until after the
hearings are completed"
While individual income tax col
lections are 10 times what they
were before the war, the Magill
report shows that excise taxes are a
little more than four times what
they totalled in 1889.
The Magill group contends, there
fore, that "a case can certainly be
made for Strengthening the excise
tax structure so that, in less prosper
GUS times than these. the Federal
Government will still have adequate
sources of revenue" At the same
time, inequities in some particular
excise levies should be eliminated,
the report holds.
Sales Tax Move Suspected.
Mr.. Woll's minority report con-
strued the majority document as a
step in the direction of Federal
sales tax, which would constitute
an unfair and capricious burden on
consumers and businessmen alike" >"
Mr.. Wou also was cool toward
the proposal that all married. couples
be allowed to split their income
for tax purposes. He argued this
would be of particular benefit only
to couples with incomes above $4,000,
and urged that such action be taken
only after reduction of taxes on
low incomes, and elimination of cer--
tain excise taxes.
