Two Tell Of Big Cut
In S135,OOO Taxes
Al Delaney Trial
By the Associated Press

BOSTON, Jan. 1.-Two of
ficials of a Haverhill manufac-
turing concern testified yesterday
the Internal Revenue Bureau lift
ed a $l35 600 tax lien on their
property when they promised
Denis w. Delaney to pay the
Government $4,000 as part of a
settlement.
Morris Leavitt, president, and
Samuel Merker, sales manager of
the Merker Counter Co., were
called as witnesses under an in
dictment charging Mr.. Delaney
with falsely certifying that $780,
538 in taxes had been satisfied in
full. They told a Federal jury an
agreement to settle the tax claim
for $4,000 was reached-with in
.stalment payments running to
1883.
! But Mr.. Leavitt testified that
last August, new lien for the full
samount again was placed against
the company. (Mr. Delaney was
removed from Office by President
Truman in JULY Mr.. Leavitt
testified his firm then paid up the
entire balance under the settle
ment agreement.
| Mr.. Merker's and Mr.. Leavitt' S
testimony contained no reference
to false certificates. They said
their settlement had been ap-
proved in Washington. ....
Six counts of another indict-
ment charge Mr.. Delaney with
receiving $12,500 in bribes on
other tax matters.
| Mr.. Merker testified he was
informed a lien was placed on his
company's property on Septem-
ber 4, 1948.
He said he and an attorney
went to see Mr.. Delaney at the
latter's office on October l ano
quoted the then collector as say
ing at the time: We'll, I'm ap-
pointed now to this case. Coulc
you make out a check to the In
ternal Revenue Bureau for $s0,00(
in an offer of compromise within
80 days?"
, Mr.. Merker said he told Mr.
Delaney they would raise the
money.
Mr. Leavitt said in his testi-
mony that on October 5, 1948, he
was visited by some one in the
collectors Office who said the lier
ior levy was being removed"
i At one point in yesterdays ses.
!, sion, Attorney C. Keefe Hurley
I, Mr.. Delaney's counsel, took Mr.
L. Merker under cross-examinatior
and asked only two questions:
Were you we'll treated by Mr.
Delaney when you talked to him?'
NO" shot back the witness

And Mr.. Delaney put the pres.
sure on you to get the taxes, didn't

Government Finishes
Presentation Of Case
Against Costello
BY the Assoeiofed Pres.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE
Government today completed
presentation of evidence before a
Federal Court jury in the con-
tempt of Senate trial of Gambler
Frank Costello.
Costello is accused of refusing
to answer questions at a Senate
crime committee hearing in New
York last March.
United States Attorney Myles
y. Lane told Judge Sylvester j
Ryan he still wanted to present
some evidence on a legal tech
nicality without the jury present
+ Judge Ryan directed the jury
to remain in the jury room after
lunch during the presentation OF
this evidence.
Excerpts from Record.
Mr.. Lanes announcement came
after the Government placed in
evidence voluminous excerpts from
the record of the Senate Crime
Committee.
The Government contended that
Costello, by answering some COM
mittee questions concerning his
finances, had waived his right tc
refuse to answer other questions.
Costello's attorney has con.
tended the gambler refused tt
answer for fear of self-incrimina.

report of the Senate Crime In.

in tax revenue.
Fearful he might be prosecuted
and land in prison. Mr.. Wolf con.
tended. Costello baked at answer.
ing questions which might in.
criminate him.
Costello, who twice walked ou
of committee hearings here las
March. is on trial in Federal Cour
on an 11-count indictment charg.
ing him with contempt of thu
Senate.
At the time, he blamed a chroni,
throat condition for his claimee
inability to answer questions abou

The Government contends Cos.

questions at the committee

hearings.

The 60-year-old Costello coult

In 1850 and again in 1851 the
staff of the Tropical Forest
Experiment Station of the US.
Department of Agriculture in
Puerto Rico made studies of
the prospects for forestry in
the Soil Conservation Pro-
gram of the Virgin Islands.
These surveys pointed to the
desirability of improving the
forested areas by introducing
mahogany and by thinning the
already established stands of
mahogany on ST. Croix.
The Forest Service made
specific recommendations for
a forestry program for Saint
Croix, pointing out that the
Virgin Islands have ample
forest land for the production
of most local needs in forest
products, that nearly all Of
these forests could be greatly
improved by underplanting
with West Indian mahogany,
that magohany forests on ST..
Croix could be much improved
by removal of deformed trees
2 n d thinning Of crowded
young stands and that under
planting is inexpensive and
the Improvement cutting
should pay for itself.
The forestry practices which
have been recommended, and

the Submarine Base which we
offered to make available.
Unfortunately, for us, how
ever, an island known as
Plum Island off the eastern
seaboard of the United States
F=EEEyaEf
has now been selected for this
project because Of its accessi-
bility to other mainland re
search centers, water supply,
power, housing and desirabi-
lily from the viewpoint Of the
employees.
We worked hard to get this
project here because it would
have brought us a permanent
source Of stable outside IN
come in amount of nearly
three million dollars annually
in addition to capital invest
ments which would have APP
p~roximated $1O,OOo,0 O0. But
the factors of distance from
the United States, cost of trans
portation of some 300 scien-
fists, and lack Of housing and
water operated to our great
disadvantage. Here is a por-
ton of a letter / have just

decades hence. Therefore they
should be carried out only
where the lands are not suited
for a higher use. In my next
chat I shall tell you what has
been done so far on this pro-
gram. However, much more
needs to be done. The Forest
Service puts it thus:
~ About 1919 Of the land sur
face of the Virgin Islands
is covered by forests.
(2) Part of this area would be
more productive if cleared
and managed for pasture.
81 A large area is now bare
and should be forested.

could be used at relatively
low cost.
(5) Dith the exception of VI
CORP, the forest lands are
privately owned.
(6) Better use Of these lands is
a matter of private
initiative.

to mention that Ambassador
