Costs Called
Key to Steel
Labor Pact

NEW YORK, Feb. 81 (AP) -
An early settlement between la
Dor and steel industry negotia-
tors will depend largely on cost
figures to be computed by the
steel companies this week, a
Woodworking trade weekly
said today.
Iron Age reported that while
emphasis is on security meas
ures, the actual cost of the
package demanded by the union
in total employment costs
not necessarily Wages-will de-
termine whether it is in the
range of realistic bargaining"
The union is pressing for a
labor pool within each COM
pany which would protect
high-seniortiy workers from
layoffs. In the last recession,
employment dropped by 100,-
900.
The publication said the Gov
eminent would not hesitate to
use even more pressure if talks
appear to be begging down.
The administration used its in
fluence to obtain an early start
of negotiations.

bureau has no power 10 offer
it now. Actually, juries tend to
be lenient on voluntary dis
closure cases and the bureau
sometimes does not press them
l. oS this reason.
Mr.. Caplin said the bureau
is attempting to train agents to
pay more attention to the gen.
eral enforcement problem and
the need for enlisting the great
est possible public cooperation,
rather than just dollar recov-
cries.
The Federal Government COL
lects 81 per cent of its income
taxes from citizens who make
out their own returns and as
sess their own income. Only
3 per cent is collected through
enforcement and we hope to
reduce this proportion still
further, he said.
The vast majority of Ameri-
cans support the costs of Gov
eminent, including defense and
space exploration, and know
that they must pay their fair
share of taxes as the President
has urged, he declared.

automatic data processing is
progressing with all possible
speed and it is expected that
all returns will be numbered
and processed automatically
by 1866.
The Atlanta office has started
on the new system and will be
fully operatlonal by next year.
The Philadelphia office will be
next in 1868 and other offices
will be operating on ADP by
1866, he declared.
Each taxpayer will have a
number and high speed COM
puters will enable the bureau
to determine quickly who has
filed and who is delinquent.
Mr.. Caplin said the new system
also will reveal discrepancies
and unusual characteristics by
matching new returns with old
ones. 1t will pour out names and
addresses at a rate of 600 a
minute.
LOOphOle to Be Closed
data processing will bring
about the biggest loophole-clos-
ing in history, Mr.. Caplin
promised. The bureau is start
ing its ADP with punched
cards, but the day will come
when cards will be eliminated
and individual returns can be
read automatically, he de-
clared.
The taxpayer and the bu-
reau well have to be careful
about what is put into the
computer, for errors will re-
turn to cause trouble, he
warned.
At the beginning of the new
system, a taxpayer will not find
it. especially risky to include
items that have been left out
of previous returns. because
the automatic-processing sys-
tenn will look forward, not back
ward at the start, Mr.. Caplin
said. However, the taxpayer will
do well to be sure everything
is included from now on, be-
cause errors fed into the ma
chine will accumulate.
The bureau no longer is per-
mitted to promise immunity
from prosecution in return for
voluntary disclosure of viola
tions, Mr.. Caplin said.

Southern's Bid
For Central of
Georgia Okoyed
BY the Associated Press

A hearing examiner recon-
mended today that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission
approve a bid by the Southern
Railway Co. for direct control
of the Central Georgia Railway
Co. through purchase of capital
stock.
Examiner Bruce w. Card said
the acquisition by Southern
would be consistent with the
public interest"
He said it would strengthen
Central of Georgia's competitive
position and, by setting up joint
routes between the southeast
and northeast and between the
south and river gateWays along
the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers
would remove the railroads
handicap as a comparatively
short LINE carrier.
Southern would pay about
$22, 655,OOO for stock now being
held in trust by the Hanover
Bank of New York. The bank
is trustee for St. Louis-San
Francisco Railway Co., which
picked up about 654 per cent
of Central's preferred stock and
TAI per cent of its common
stock between 1854 and 1858.
The ICC later found Frisco
had unlaWfully acquired control
of Central, without prior ap-
proval by the commission. Frisco
then set up the trust agreement
with Hanover Bank.

Federal Prosecutors
To Screen Confessions:

Mr.. Acheson said he has set up
four staff members-all de-,
partment heads-to screen such
cases when they are in the pro-
cess of preparation for trial. +,
The chief prosecutor said that
the screening group is neces-
sary because Individual trial
attorneys on our staff vary so
widely in their reasoning as, to
what circumstances must exist
with a confession in order for
the Mallory Rule to apply"
Used Mallory Rule
1t was the application of the
Mallory Rule that resulted m
the reversal of the Elsie Jones
case last week.
Spelled out by the Supreme
Court in 1857, the Mallory
Hule merely says that confess
sions made to police during q
period of unnecessary delay"
between arrest and arraign-
ment of an accused may not
be used as evidence at the trial.
Mr.. Acheson said this creates
such a serious problem to my
office that it is essential to
have uniform standards and
present a consistent position
this is just another example Of
the problem we have in making
a trial record for appeal of the
case as much as having a view
toward convincing the jury to
convict the defendant"

A staff group has been
formed in the United States
Attorneys office here to cut
down appellate reversal of
criminal convictions involving
confessions.
This step was announced
yesterday by United States
Attorney David C. Acheson in
the wake of last weeks re-
versal by the Court of Appeals
of the earlier manslaughter
conviction of Elsie v. Jones.
The woman made two con-
feSsions-one at the time she
was arrested, and a second one
four hours later. The Court of
Appeals reversed her convic-
ton on grounds that the Sec
ond confession was made dur
ing a period of unnecessary
delay between her arrest by
police and her arraignment by
a committing magistrate.
Necessity Questioned
This made obvious the ques-
ton of whether the use of the
second-signed confession was
necessary at all during the
course Of the trial to sustain
the prosecutions effort to con-
Wet the woman in the District
Court, Mr.. Acheson said.
In an effort to avoid the
necessity of trying to overcome
