TALLAHASSEE IA memorial
urging Congress to take steps to
keep treaties from superseding the
United States Constitution TODAY
ran into unexpected hurdles in the
Senate.
Sen. Morrow. Lake Worth
moved for immediate considera-
ton of the memorial, which was
introduced and passed in the
House where it had nearly so CO.
sponsors.
Morrow said it called upon the
Congress to call constitutional
convention to amend the federal
Constitution so that treaties made
by the President ard ratified by
the Senate could not become law
of the land when Infringing upon
basic rights of the state and the
people.
Immediate consideration requir.
ed unanimous consent to a waiver
of the rules. Sen. Pope, St. Angus
tine. objected, saying he didn't
think the Senate should adopt as
a matter of routine a memorial
to Congress when probably most
Of the senators had no idea what
was being asked or why.
Immediately afterward, the Sem
ate adopted a memorial to Con-
gress which Sen. Collins, ITALIA.
haSsee, said was designed to keep
federal inspectors of the Veterans
Administration from flood the
state to check on schools under
the CT bill of rights. Pope made
no objection to immediate con.
sideration.

TALLAHASSEE IA new bill
recognizing the Florida Keys Az
ueduct Board and authorizing it
to borrow II million dollars to
build a water pipeline to Key
West was introduced and passed
today in the Florida House.
1t absorbs a law passed earlier
in the session over Gov. McCarty's
veto. The governor had objected
to clause which gave members
of the Florida Keys Aqueduct Com
mission the power to name their
own successors. The new board
will be elected by taxpayers of
the aqueduct district.
Richard Petty of the New York
bond law firm of Mitchell and
Pershing said there is some queS-
ton as to the constitutionality"
of the earlier laws provision which
would make members Of the board
self-perpetuating in office.
The new law passed today would
abolish the present Florida Keys
Aqueduct Commission and replace
1t with Florida Keys Aqueduet
District Board with authority to
issue bonds and finance construc-
ton of the new pipeline TO carry
water from a well field near Flor
ida City.

IKE WANTS EP TAX

NIOHIInueQ from rage One)
$4,000 The regular tax on that
$500, 0OO-normal 30 per cent on the
full amount and sultax of q per
cent on $275,OOO - was $780,
Method No. Since the tax limit
is 10 per cent, and XYZ has been
taxed at top rate of So per cent,
it applies the remaining Is per
cent to its 100000 earnings. Re-
suit: $4,000. That's EPT tax. Add
ing the EPT of $4,000 to the reg
ular tax Of $3.50, 900, XYZ'S total
tax is $204, 500. Too high? The firm
looks for a lower tax by trying
the next method.
Method No. 2-This raises
question: Just What is an excess
profit2 Excessive over what and
when? For comparison, Congress
had to find basis, some period
and earnings which might be con-
sidered normal or average. 1t
picked the years between World
War II and the start of the Ko-
rean War, the years 1916 through
1919, inclusive. Many businessmen
claim those years we're not nor
NAL for them. Some, for, instance,
say they were just starting in bus
mess.
Firm xYz, trying to determine
its average earnings in those pre-
Korean years, can choose any
three of the four. Naturally, it
selects the three most prosperous
years TO make its post-Korean
profits as low, or unexcessive, as
possible over its pre- Korean prof
its. XYZ's earnings in 1916 were
SlO0, 900 but $500, 900 year from
1947 through 1919. So II chose
those three years--in this case
S200, 600 year-as Its average
pre.Korean earnings.
But the law doesn't let a firm
claim the full average, only IS
per cent. In XYZ's case, SIS per
cent of $500 900 is $I70, 900 which
Is then called the pre.Korean av-
600 earnings in 1852 were an ex-
cess of $4,000 ever its $40, 900
pre-Korean average At this point
the law says ky can pay 80 per
cent of that Sl30, 600 excess. Re-
sulting EPT: SIS, 900. Adding the
$50, 900 EPT to the regular tax Of
$3.50. 500 on its $500 GOO earnings In
1852, XYZ's total tax becomes
$780, 500, or sl5,000 cheaper than
under method No. /.
Most firms use method No. 2 be.
cause 1t happens TO work out best
for most. Some use still a third
method when it gives an even
lower tax.
Method No. 3-~This Is based on
invested capital. Say firm XYZ
had two million dollars invested in
its plant at the beginning Of the
year. Under the law XYZ takes
IL per cent of the two million dol.
lars, which is S240.000. This is
called an excess profits credit or
money that can be deducted from
a firms earnings before it can be
biz.
BYZ deducts the $40 600 from
It's 1852 earnings Of SS09. 900. Re.
suit: $50 900. Then ky applies so
per cent 10 the ss0, 600. giving Ii

Einstein Speaks His Mind

Agency Inc:)

spread about E1nste1n. II was his
74th birthday. The reporters Of all
the press associations had not for.
gotten about il.
Why should they make such a
fuss about Einstein? I said to my
self. You can't eat relatively. It's
not listed on the Stock Exchange.
Remember the story of the SIS
ter of violinist Jascha Heifetz who
once cornered Einstein at some
function and said to him: Tell
me. Professor. is this mathemati.
cal racket on the level?"
Why do they make such a fuss
about kindly old man who sits
at Princeton theorizing about
space and time and fourth dimen-
sions? It goes to show, I said, that
the American people are philoso-
phical. minded. They make a
greater fuss about Einstein than
they did about Rockefeller or
Henry Ford.
And then il all came to me. The
fact is that Prof. Einstein is
greater industrialist than either
Ford or Rockefeller. It's not be.
cause Einstein is philosopher.
but because he means so much TO
industry that they make such a
to-do about him.
Einstein wrote a little equation:
''E equals M times c squared"
That's all it is, but this little equa-
ton is beginning to revolutionize
all industry. 1t is basic in the
entire theory of the creation of
atomic energy. What does it mean
practically?
It means. as has often been
said. that two pounds of coal. by
manipulation Of lis atomic posi-
bilities. can produce more energy
than all the electric power sta
tons in America working at full
blast for two months.
It is obvious that this means an
inconceivable revolution in indus
try, once atomic energy gets in
full swing. General Electric Com
pany shares will be pikers on the
Stock Exchange once the Ex-
change lists the shares of General
Atomic.
The discovery Of the facts about
the atom is the greatest thing for
good or evil since Adam and Eve
tasted Of the Tree Of Knowledge.
In a way, Einstein himself rep
resents a kind of atomic theory.
He is one little man Of several
billions inhabiting the earth yet
he revolutionizes our whole econ
omy. Hitler said that NaziSm
would rule the world for thou
sand years. Hitler is gone and
with him died Nazisn, but the
little Jew whom Hitler expelled
will leave his impression on the
world for a thousand years.
Einstein was only rs years old
when he wrote his basic theory.
Reporters asked him what had
him to science and he re-
piled that at the age of five he
was given a compass and it made
a very strong impression on him.
He added that of course. one
couldn't say just what turns a
man to any vocation. We know
little. he said. about the things
that go on inside Of US.
Man is as much a mystery as
the stars and the world of the
atom which Finstein has more
successfully explored t h a. any
one heretofore. Einstein is the
Columbus of a new age. His uni

Finding Of UnsOund
Mind Sets Aside
Murder Conviction

A first-degree murder convic-
ton has been set aside by Fed
eral Judge Charles F. McLaugh-
lin on grounds that the defend
ant was mentally incompetent
at the time of trial.
Judge Mclaughlin made his
ruling in the case Of Clarence
L. Wright, "a. colored. cook.
who lived in the Dunbar Hotel.
Wright was found guilty by a
jury in February of fatally
shooting his estranged wife,
Mrs. Helen j. Wright, %, in
June, 1851.
In a memorandum opinion in
the U. S. District Court for the
District Of Columbia, Judge Nc
Laughlin granted a defense mo-
ton for a new trial for Wright,
who had been found of unsound
mind in October, 1851, but who
last November was reported to
have recovered.
Psychiatrists' Report.
Judge Mclaughlin took the
motion under advisement last
week after two psychiatrists,
both members of the Districts
Mental Health Commission. tes-
titled they believed the Defend
ant is of unSound mind now and
was of unsound mind at the
time of the trial. The two psy-
chiatristS are DR.. Anna c. Todd
and DR.. John Cavanagh. Judge
Mclaughlin had asked the COM
mission to have the examina-
ton made.
In his ruling, Judge McLaugh-
lin found that Wright "is pres
emily insane and was of unsound
mind or otherwise so mentally !!
incompetent as to be unable to (
understand the proceedings |
against him or properly to assist /
In his own defense at the |
trial -. :"
View Of Witnesses.
At the time of Wright's trial, |
two other psychiatristS, both /
called by the defense, testified |
Wright was of .unsound mind at !
the time of the trial and that in |
their opinion he was insane at |
the time of the killing.
Police, who questioned Wright
just after the shooting, testified
at the trial that he talked and |
acted nationally when ques-
toned.
In October, 1851, Wright was
found met. ally incompetent to
stand trial after two Government
psychiatriSts had testified he was
of unsound mind. Subsequently,
Wright was sent to the medical
center for Federal prisoners at
Springfield, Mo. Last November
he was declared by psychiatrists
there to be mentally competent |
to stand trial.
