~ ne As,oe;ua,d Press

CHICAGO, June q. Can Federal
income tax collectors claim q chunk
OF the $4,000 voted By the Illinois
Legislature to Joseph Majczek as
compensation for the IL years he
was wrongfully imprisoned?
Tax experts In Washington say
the answer to this question depends
on whether the bill passed yesterday
and sent to Gov. Dwight H. Green
Is in the nature of q damage award
or to compensate for lost earnings.
II it's damage award, its not
taxable, but II the $24. 900 is intended
to make up for lost wages, the Gov
ernment probably can claim share,
the experts say.
The bill declares Mr., Majczek was
imprisoned for a murder which was
committed by another person" and
says.
He has unjustly suffered incon-
venience, loss OF time, loss Of earn
ings, expenses Of legal defense. an
indelible stain upon his reputation

told those Senators he wanted to
ruin" the Carson brothers be-
cause Of an alleged prohibition era
incident they said involved Mr..
Flanagan's father and former Sena-
tor James M. Mead of New York.
The war hribe conspiracy trial of

cused the Government witness, Mr..

Have you any feeling against
Murray Carson Mr.. Margiotti
asked, because OF situation in
volving your father and Senator
Mead back in prohibition days when
couple Of boatloads of liquor were
seized? Was 1t because Murray
Carson was a special assistant to
the Secretary of Labor and was in
strumental in having it confiscated?"
Il don't know what you are talk
ing about" Mr.. Flanagan retorted.
II never heard of such thing. I
deny it absolutely"
Denies Ruin Threat,
did you tell Senator Barkley you
we're going to ruin the Garssons?"
Absolutely not"
Did you tell Senator Kilgore you
were going to put the Garssons out
of business? Did you ever say that
the prosecution of the Garssons
would make Senator Mead Governor
of New York;"
Mr.. Flanagan denied this and
added that the timetable for the.

, Union county farmers, most of
whom include Rog feeding as part
of their farm program, today had
the Department of Agriculture
forecast of a spring pig crop of a
bout 53,000,000 head as a guide for
mapping their plans.
The forecast carried a notation
that this years downward trend
will be reversed next year.
Sush crop would be one pre-
cent larger than l946 spring crop
Of 52,574,000. The spring crop pro-
vides the following fall and WIN
ter.
Will Fall Short
While showing a prospective in
crease, the spring crop would be
short of the governments recon-
mendation of $4,000, 900 head.
, In a report based upon returns
from 10000 farmers in cooperat-
. ion with rural mail carriers, the
department established the 1916
fall crop of 30,627, 900 head. This
compares with a fall crop of "a, ,593,
900 and with a ten-year average
of 32199,000. Fall crops provide
pork supplies for the following
Spring and summer.
This brought the combined 1916
spring and tall crops to 83,201 ZOO
head compared with 86,782,000
@last year and with the ten-year
average of 82,140,000. The largest
crop on record was l2l, 100000 in
1943
Grain Shortage =
Pig production fell off this year
largely because of grain shortages
prior to the harvest of the cur
rent record crop.
The number of sows that far
rowed in the 1916 season was re-
ported at A, 725, 900 head compared
with 5,426,O00 in 1915 and with 8
ten-year fall average of 6.28.
The department said its survey
indicates that 8,626,000 sows will
farrow in the 1947 spring season
compared to $4,000 year ago
The changes indicated spring
