Martha Stephenson
Conviction Is
Reversed by Court

In an opinion handed down
March Is, 1854, the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals held that the
conviction Of Martha Owen Ste
phenson of the crime of Receiving
Stolen Government Property
should be reversed.
The grounds for the reversal
was that the jury should have
been instructed that the testimony
of an accomplish should be viewed
with caution. Mrs. Stephenson
was convicted partly on the testi-
mony of Josephus Tester, who ad-
mittedly stole the government
property.
The trial judge had held that a
thief is not the accomplish of the
receiver Of stolen property and
had not given the instruction. The
Appellate Court held that this
was error even though the de-
Tense attorney had not insisted on
the instruction to the jury.
Three possibilities are still open
to the government and are now
being considered:
1t is possible to retry the case
again at Nome; a rehearing could
be requested of the Ninth Circuit;
or an appeal to the Supreme
Court could be made.

Ran ueIQ since the American

charging less than 60 cents. A
somewhat similar amendment
proposal by the Democrats was
beaten in the House, 213 to 200.
Despite opposition by the

Senate approval.
STA Billion Revenue Loss.
The administration supports
the tax revision bill on which the
Senate Finance Committee soon
will start hearings. While re-
sulting in a revenue loss of about
STA billion next year. this bill
would enable the Treasury to re-
tain about $1.2 billion by con-
tinuing for one year beyond
April l the present So per cent
rate on corporation incomes. The
rate otherwise would drop to At
per cent at the end of this
month. The SO per cent rate
would be made retroactive to
April even if the bill is not en-
acted by that date. Immediate
enactment is out Of the question,
leaders said.
Democrats declared yesterday
that despite their defeat in the
House and their possible parlia-
mentary disadvantage in any
joint conference. they still hold
a political advantage. They re-
gard increased income tax ex-
emptions as the most effective
and fairest type of tax relief at
this time.
House Republican Leader Hal
leck charged yesterday, however,
that the Democratic plan was
primarily the work of NOISY po-
litical grave diggers" who failed
in an effort to split the Republic
can Party. He warned that

planning to do when they get

KnowIand Predicts
Senate Will Back
House on Tax Cuts
By Robert K. Walsh

Senate Republican Leader
Knowland said yesterday that
when the omnibus tax revision
bill reaches President Eisen-
hover. probably in June, it viii
be essentially the same as the
one which the House passed last
week.
Even If the Democrats succeed
in getting Senate approval of
an amendment to increase in
dividual income tax exemptions.
such a change would be stricken
out by House Senate conferees,
Senator Knowland predicted.
The huge measure overhauling
the Federal tax laws and offer
ing estimated tax savings of
STA billion next year to indi-'
viduals and businesses. faces
many weeks of Senate Finance
Committee hearings and study.
Senator Knowland said Senate
debate was unlikely before late
May on the bill passed by the
House Thursday.
$500 Boost in Exemptions.
It is sure to be the target for
numerous attacks and amend
ment attempts both in the COM
mittee and on the floor. Senator
George, Democrat, of Georgia,
leads a drive to increase per-
Sonal income tax exemptions
from the present $500 to $500.
The White House and the
Republican congressional lead
ership won an important victory
last week in a 210-to-204 House
vote against a Democratic at
tempt to raise such exemptions
to $700. In the coming Senate
struggle the odds apparently are
against the Republicans, thus
foreshadowing eventual consid-
Grafton by a Republican-dom-
mated conference.
Meanwhile, the Senate this
week expects to debate and pass
a House-approved bill to cut
excise taxes April l on about IS
goods and services. This is OPP
posed bv the Eisenhower admin
istration because it would cost
the Treasury more than 1912
million.
The bill contains a provision,
supported by the administration,
to continue for one year the
existing excise rates otherwise
scheduled to decrease April l
on alcoholic beverages, cigar
cites. automobiles and automo-
tive parts and gasoline. The
extension would help the Treas
ury keep SLOT billion next year.
Several Senators. it was
learned yesterday, will seek fur
Their cuts in the excise bill. A
group of Democrats and report
edly some Republicans want to
let the automobile excise tax 60
down on schedule April /. Gov.
G. Mennen Williams of Michi-
gan urged this in a telegram to
the Finance Committee.
Byrd Attacks Measure.
The measure will be attacked
from another angle by Senator
Byrd, Democrat of Virginia. He
waged an unsuccessful battle in
committee last week to cancel
most of the excise tax cuts voted
March 10 by the House. He
indicated that he or some other
opponent of substantial tax cuts
of that kind will renew the at
tempt in the floor debate.
The Finance Committee itself
STAYED off possible further excise
tax cuts by the Senate. AS re-
ported out by the committee,
the bill not only approved most
of the 1912 million in cuts made
by the House but recommended
further slashes totaling about
$50 million. The major change
would remove the admissions tax
