FEDERAL OFFICIALS AREN'T COMMENTING ON MARLER CASE

WASHINGTON -JP- Federal c1ficiaIs here aren't commenting otGicially as yet on the Jack Mar Ter income tax verdict.
 Marler, a former deputy collector of internal revenue was acquitted in Fairbanks Tuesday of charges of failure 10 Tile income tax returns for 1851 and 1852. But the Treas ury plans to instigate a civil suit to collect the taxes.
 Marler contended he was being taxed without representation be- cause Alaska has no voting member in Congress.
 Treasury officials here said they would have to study the trial re- cords before making official com ment. However, they said, from a. yailable records it appeared that no issue had been raised by the jury's decision, or the Judge $ charge to the jury, which would exempt residents of Territories from paying federal income taxes.

INTERNAL REVENUE MAY TAKE CIVIL ACTION AGAINST MARLER

SEATTLE -lR - Internal Rev enue Commissioner William Y. Frank said Wednesday he expects his office to proceed with civil ac- tion to collect back income taxes from Jack Marler, despite his ac- quittal in Fairbanks on a criminal income tax evasion charge.
 Frank said he did not believe there was any issue of constitution ality invovled.
 He cited the judges instructions to the jury that the taxation without representation" defense was not a valid defense but that the jury could consider it in decid- ing whether there was a "willful" failure to comply with the law.
 50 far as I am concerned, this is just an individual case in which a taxpayer raised the point as q defense and the jury saw fit to be- lieve him." Frank commented.
 II don't believe there is any leg al significance on the constitution ality issue. We intend to proceed as heretofore. Even in this case we plan to proceed with civil proceed ings to collect any tax payments which may be due - with penal ties"

LANGSTAFF CALLED ONE OF FINEST" BY MUSIC CRITICS

'One of the finest baritone yoic- es to come this way sang last night. It's owner, John Langstaff, charmed the audience with his musicianship, his friendliness, his beautiful singing and his unusual ly interesting program
 These words of a Spokane music critic brought similar admiring note from a large number of re- viewers in this country and in England
 These tributes are paid to the Alaska Music Trail artist who will appear in Wrangell, at the high school auditorium. April IA the last Alaska Music Trail concert of the 1955-56 season.
 And these eu.ogies come to a man whom only force of will and robustness of lungs carried through when a sniper's bullet felled him on Okinawa during World War II. Brought to a hospital in the rear, it was found that one lung had collapsed and several ribs were shattered. It seemed necessary to send him back to the states but his lung condition made flight at high attitudes too risky. Placed on a boat for the long journey home, his wounds became infected and he was taken off at Guam where an operation saved his life. After three months on Cham he was flown to Walter Reed hospital in Washington, D. c. to recuperate.
 The baritone's program here will include group of early French chansons, Schubert, and early American songs arranged by Aaron Copeland In the second part of the concert, the diversity of a number of contemporary American songs will be followed by a group of English and American folks songs and traditional ballads.

FAIRBANKS -R- A Federal Court jury of six men and six wo- men this week freed Jack Marler. A, who had pleaded not guilty to a charge of income tax evasion on grounds he did not believe in tax atiOn without representation"
 Marler. former Bureau of Inter- nal Revenue agent and present manager of a lodge at Tok June tion, was found innocent of the charges that he willfully failed to file income tax returns for 1851 and 1852. He based his defense on the fact he did not believe the U. $. had the right to tax AIaskans without giving them representation in Congress.
 Marler was released from custody and is Scott free" Under Federal law in the Territories, the govern ment cant appeal a case in which jury verdict of mot guilty" is returned.
 Test Case
 The defenDeuU attorney, Ed ward Boyko of Anchorage, an- nounced before the trial that he would make the case "a test of the | nome tax laws as applied to the -errtory."
 Jurors Had Little Doubt
 An informal poll of the jurors showed that there was little doubt in their minds concerning MarIer's late. Jurors said that the first vote taken after they retired for delib- erations was II to l in favor of ac- quittaI
 MarIer had testified that while he did not definitely intend to test the income tax law at the time he failed to file his returns, he had considered the idea and later made up his mind to do so..
 He said that he believed taxa tion without representation" was unconstitutional and contrary to the principles upon which Amer ica's democracy is founded. He of- fered no other defense.
 No Comment
 Representative of the Bureau of Internal Revenue here declined to make an official comment on the case. However, one tax agent re- marked: ''I don't think many Alas kans will take this way out"
 Judge Vernon D. Forbes appear cd to frown as he listened to the foreman announce that the jury had found the defendant mot guilty"
 In his instructions, the Judge had told the jurors that the defense of taxation without representa- lion' was not valid, but the jury oould take this defense in account in determining whether or not Marler had "willfully' failed to file his returns as charged.
 District Attorney Ted Stevens said he did not believe that this ease was in any way a test of the Federal income tax law as applied to Alaska "The jury made a decis- ion based on the facts of this par ticuIar case" he declared. The Judge made it clear in his instruc- tions that the income tax law con- stitutiOnally was not in question"

SaarIand Issue
Splits Coalition

SAARBRUECKEN, Dec. IA up.
The Saarland'S three-party
coalition government split today
over Parliament's adoption Of q
resolution approving the return
Of the rich coal area to Ger
many on January 1. The resolu-
ton was adopted 35-2.
Approval Of the resolution led
to the resignation Of DR.. Heinrich
Schneider, president Of Parlia-
ment; Fritz Schuster, interior
minister, and Erich Schwertner,
state commissioner for recon-
struction.
All three are members Of the
Democratic Party. which broke
with the coalition. The Demo-
Gratis protested the adoption Of
the resolution until all technical
problems involving the Saar's re-
turn to Germany are ironed out
In negotiations with Bonn. The
Is Democratic deputies abstained
on the vote.
Residents of the German
speaking industrial and mining
region Of almost 1000 square
miles voted Overwhelmingly last
year to return to Germany.
The Saar Is to become West
Germany'S 10th state January 1,
and economic Indignation is to
be completed by 1860.
Long a political football be-
tween France and Germany, the
Saar was placed under the
League Of Nations after World
War I. 1t was taken over by
Germany in 1885 after q league
sponsored plebiscite. Since 1947
it has bene semiautonomous
but has been tied economically
to France.

out between the two nations now
require only the certain approval
of the West German Bundestag
and the signatures Of the French

Ex-Head Of Haiti
Begins Exile
In Jamaica

PORT au PRINCE, Haiti, Dec.
IA (R.-Former President Paul
Magloire today began his exile in
Jamaica after being forced out
Of Haiti by a determined sitdown
strike.
Gen. Magloire and nine mem
bers Of his family reached
Kingston after q flight from Port
Au Prince in a Haitian Army
plane. The ex-President declined
TO make any statement on his
arrival in Jamaica. saying only
that his plans were indefinite.
Gen. Magloire was the first
President in Haiti's history
named directly by the people.
His term ended December 6 but
he tried to continue in power as
"chief of state" The nation
reacted promptly with three days
Of sitdown strikes that brought
all normal activity virtually to
4 halt.
Stepped Down Wednesday
Wednesday night Gen. Ma
gloire gave in to the "cold revo-
luton" and stepped down as
chief Of state. The strike con-
tinued until his plans to leave
the country were announced.
That word touched on a wild
celebration.
A radio announcement also
said the ex-President had re-
signed as an army general at
the demand of both officers and
enlisted men.
AS provided in this little Car
1bbean republics constitution,
the president Of the Supreme
Court, Joseph Nemours Pierre
Louis, took over the Office Of the
presidency.
Accompanying Gen. Magloire
to Jamaica were his wife and two
children; his brother Arsene
with his wife and two children,
and two other members Of the
family. Also along were former
Interior Minister Roland Lat
tiard and his family.
Elected in 1850
Gen. Magloire. a professional
soldier, was elected president Of
Haiti in 1850. The constitution
prohibits two consecutive terms
for a President and Gen. Mag
loire last May directed that cleo
ton machinery be set up to pick
his successor.
Gen. Magloire and his sup
porters subsequently charged the
leading candidates pitched their
appeals on vicious criticism" Of
the government and melted the
people to terrorism and vio-
lence." The candidates were
jailed and their hackers claimed
Gen. Magloire never intended to
hold the elections.
