18 PAPERS DEFENDED b IN TAX PUBLICITY Attorneys Differentiate Be- _tween Printing of Lists and 4. of Actual Returns. Newspaper publication of lists of mames of income tax payers and the amounts pald were defended and at- tacked before the Supreme Court Fri- day, when the arguments in the cases of the Kansas City Journal-Post and the Raltimore Post wers com. pleted. Questions to counsel for t Government by several of the jus-| tices inclined observers to take ihe Hew they were unwilling to follow | the contention that publication of the liats constituted a vioation of the | The two cases came before the Su- preme Court o nappeal by the Govern. ment from adverse decisions in the lower courts. During his argument on behalf of the Government Solicitor General Beck said that he did not care “two gtraws” how the court decided the case, but that he hoped the court would remove from controversy the question whether the Constitution’s guarantee of freedom of the press gave newspapers the right to publish any information which might be thrown open to public inspection. In this request the solicitor general was wined by the counsel for the news- papers. Differ Between Return and List. Justice Sanford, * questioning M. Beck, wanted to know whether the prohibition against the publication of | 1e tax returns was not limited by jon “except when authorized aw,” and whether the author tion for the lists did not provide such an exception. Justice Van Devanter similarly suggested that the amount of taxes paid, which formed the mate- rial part of the lists, was not a part of the return, as the Government had contended Justices Sutherland and Rutler pressed questions along the same lines. A remark by J that the lists were “published” when made available to public inspection hrought, as had the preceding ques- tions, a reiteration by Mr. Beck of the Government’s position that the news- papers could be punished for publish- ing the lists. Chief Justice Taft, directing the at- tention of Mr. Beck to a statement in the decision of the district judge in the Missouri case to the effect that after Congress had made public Gov- ernment records, publication of the information in the community could not be prohibited, asked whether it was not the duty of the court to con- strue statutes which seemed to con- flict so as to protect their constitu- tionality whenever that was possible. Without waiting for a reply to this question, he asked another, suggest- | ing that it might be possible to re-| tain in their full effectiveness both the provision opening lists to inspection ce McReynolds Tobacco Growers Use Moth Balls in War Upon Insects Special Dispaich to The Star. DANVILLE. Va., April 18.—To- bacco farmers in this section are using moth balls as a last resort to kill insects which are ravaging the plant beds. In some cases growers have been compelled to abandon their beds and plant new ones, which means that the tobacco crop will be late. Inceticides, although used freely, have not had the effect of killing the flies and beetles, which are very numerous this year. Arsenate of lead and fodoform are usually used. The absence of rain is also begin- ning to worry the growers. GULF-TO-LAKES MAIL FLIGHT SUCCESSFUL Plane Arrives Ahead of Schedule. Officials See Big Saving in Time for Banks. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 18.—The first air mail flight from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes was successfully completed here at 4:20 o'clock yester- day afternoon, when the 400-horse- power De Haviland plane which start- ed from New Orleans at 5:39 o'clock in the morning landed here with res- istered mail valued at more than $3,- 000,000. The mail connects with the regular transcontinental service. Post office authorities and air mail officials who observed each stage of the flight said that it was a complete success, and that if such a service were made permanent it would m a saving of from one to two da bank clearings to the West. which left New Orleans yesterds morning was being rushed last night toward the Pacific it. The trip, according to the pilots riving here, was almost uneventful far as the last leg of the journey w concerned. They were ahead of sched ule most of the way and landed at the Maywood Field here ahead of time by 10 minutes. Victor J. Meloy and Her- bert Fox piloted the plane from Nash- ville to Chicago. Six mail bags co taining bank clearings for the mo: part were unloaded. The plane was met by city and post office officials. The plane, which also brought a let- ter from Gov. Brandon, Alabama, to Mayor Dever of Chicago, made the flight as the result of the suggestion and support of business organizations along the route, the plan being sug- gested by the Birmingham Age-Her- ald on March 17.

H. Winger appeared for the Kansas City Journal-Post, while Newton D. Baker, former Secretary of War, made a brief statement for the Baitimore Post, this case being submitted by the solicitor general on briefs without argument The Solicitor General insisted that newspapers which published the lists had violated a section of the law which prohibits the publication of in- come tax returns. Congress provided that the commissioner of internal revenue shoyld make the list avail- able in the offices of the collectors under such restrictions as he might think proper to impose, said Mr. Beck, and emphasized that the commission: er had not given his comsert to the publication of the lists in tae news papers Sees Blow at Free Counsel for the newspapers held that there was a material difference letween the income tax returns, which t would be unlawful to publish, and the lists, and gued that whatever was lawfully made public for inspec- tion could le 1y be printed Attacking what he described as the Government's effort to drive a wedge hetween free speech and a free press. Mr. Baker asserted that to say that vou can freely discuss verbally all the information contained in these lists to say that you can radio the informa- tion broadeast throughout the country without committing any offense, but that the publication of the same in- formation in the most obscure news. paper in the country would be a cpime, is an inconceivable construc- tion which no court would place upon this law The view of the Government on this peint, as presented by Mr. Beck, was that not much publicity would be gfven the lists if they were kept out of the newspapers. Looking upon the publicity as undesirable, he said, Government saw a material difference hetween making the lists available tc Our Complete Stock of Lamp Shades Now 1/2 Price Silk Shades—Parchment Shades—Japanese Shades 10c Candle Shades, 60¢ Japanese Shades, 30c $5.00 Shades, . $8.00 Shades, Etc., Etc., Etc.
