PUBLISHERS DELA -PAPER CASE ACTION Resolution Condemning Pur- chase of Newspapers by In- ternational Co. Is Tabled. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 25.—After a long discussion, during which some delegates declared the matter was one for the Federal Government to investigate, the American Newspaper Publishers’ Asso- ciation in convention today tabled, with- out a vote, a resolution opposing pur- chase by the International Paper Co. of stock in newspapers. ‘The resolution had been offered by Col. Robert Ewing of the New Orleans States, and before it was tabled had been amended to include condemnation of entrance into the newsphper field of interests other than strictly journalistic enterprises. Despite the failure of the resolution, Col, Ewing said he was well pleased with the action of the convention in bringing to the attention of publishers and the public the entrance or projected entrance of paper companiles, banks, public utility companies and similar en- terprises into the newspaper field. Discussion of the resolution and the expressions that its content was a mat- ter for the Federal Government took place almost simultaneously with the announcement by the Federal Trade Commission in Washington of the names of four witnesses who have been sub- poenaed to testify at a hearing in con- nection with the reported purchase of two Boston newspapers by the Interna- tional Paper Co. In attacking the International Paper Co., Col. Ewing said, “any commercial concern ‘cannot be fair as both a seller and a purchaser.” The colonel and other publishers pointed out instances of where the In- ternational either has already acquired | or has started negotiations for more newspapers. Officers to Be Named. During the convention the publishers were informed that the new machine for setting up type direct from ‘mews telegraph wires would possibly be ready in the next six months. . Officers will be elected during the day and an amendment to the by-laws to change the annual business conven- tion from the Spring until the Fall will be considered. The Publishers yesterday extended a vote of confidence to S. E. Thomason of the Chicago Journal, and its paper committee, of which, Mr. Thomason is , chairman. A resolution approving “all the actions and activities of the paper committee” was adopted after a full afternoon of discussion of the paper situation, the International Paper Co. and the paper committee. Earlier in the day, Mr. Thomason submitted his report in which he said he would make a personal rtatement 1o the convention regarding criticism of his committee to the effect that the committee was influenced by the fact that the International Paper owns securities of a newspaper published by the chairman. Supply Question Is Worry. | Alleged large investments in news- paper properties by the International Paper Co. led to criticism of that com- pany some time ago. Recently the com- |, pany announced a new scale of prices and a new form.of conrtact and pub- lishers have shcwn great concern over the question of paper supplies. Mr. Thomason told the convention that he was director and secretary of a large newspaper at the time of his appointment to the newspaper commit- tee. He added that he twice had sub- mitted his resignation and that both times it had been refused. He said the committee had done its utmost to hold down the price of paper and to keep the membership adequately advised of the situation. Several leading publishers praised *Thomason and the committee’s work in the present news print situation and pald high tribute to the manner in which affairs had been conducted. To Fight Minnesota Gag Law. A resolution pledging the Publishers Association to wage a concerted fight to repeal the Minnesota newspaper sup- pression law was adopted. The law, passed in 1925, but not in- voked until 1927, in the case of the Minneapolis Saturday Press, provides that any judge, without trial or hearing, can enjoin any journal which, in his opinion, publishes malicious, slanderous or defamatory articles. The Saturday Press was permanently suppressed as a “nuisance” under the law. A report on the law, made by a com- mittee headed by Col. Robert R. Mc- Cormick of the Chicago Tribune, which termed the law “tyrannical, despotic, un-American and oppressive,” was ac- cepted. g ‘After hearing an opening address by President Edward H. Butler of Buffalo, the publishers attended twa closed ses- sions during the day to hear the com- mittee reports, which also covered open ,shop, postal rates, printing trades schools, radio and traffic. The Bureau of Ad;;;flsll:l: ome American Newspaper, lishers’ - clation, in its annual report, said that the past year had been the greatest in the bureau’s history. The report stated a survey “proves conclusively that every market” supporting a dally newspaper invites the careful study of mpst na- tional edvertisers.” SPECIAL NOTICES.

Wife of Secretary of War Active in Women’s Congres- sional Club. BY MARGARET HART. As one of the new cabinet ladies who “knows her Washington” Mrs. James William Good, wife of the Secretary of War, is able to take her place as a cabinet hostess without going through the usual bewilderment. The wife of a Representative from Towa, and continuing to live at the Capital after her husband resigned in 1921 to practice law in Washington, Mrs. Good has taken an active part in social affairs here. She is popular, and her home has been the scene of many interesting entertainments. Mrs, Good has always taken an in- terest in the women's Congressional Club, both as an active member and an honorary member. She has been a worker in the Iowa State Society and has served on many of its committees. Romance Began in Coilege.” The Goods’ romance began in col- lege. Both attended Coe College, at Cedar Rapids, Jowa, their native town. Marriage came shortly after their grad- uation. Mr. Good studied law at the Untiversity of Michigan and hung out| his shingle in Cedar Rapids. Mrs. Good read law books and took an interest in her husband's progress. And later, while not being a member of | the bar, she came to possess an ap- preciable amount of legal knowledge. Following the resignation of Repre- sentative Good from Congress, up to | the time of his appointment to the cabinet, the Good family divided its time between Chicago and Washington. But Washington is their real home | though they have an affectionate yearn- ing for their native Iowa. Mrs. Good is_of the home-making type. She takes her duties as a mother | urban home formerly occupied by Mr. MRS. GOOD IS WELL VERSED - IN CABINET HOSTESS' DUTIES i MRS. JAMES W. GOOD. most seriously. She has a keen appre- ciation of the boy’s point of view and is a real companion to her sons, Robert, 11 years old, who is at school at Evans- ton, Ill, and James W. Good, jr. 18, a freshman in Northwestern University. It was her college son who remained at Mrs. Good'’s side during the inaugura- tion ceremonies and who shyly took her hand as Mr, Good was sworn in as Secretary of War. Mrs. Good passed much of her time house hunting following the inaugura- tion. She realized that the Secretary of War must have an establishment commensurate with the importance of ! his position. She finally selected the charming sub- and Mrs. Richard Porter Davidson. The | house is near the Chevy Chase Club and has beautiful grounds. Mrs. Good is a fine-looking woman, with a bright smile and deep blue eyes. She, like other women of the cabinet, is very young looking in spite of her college son and the fact that she was married in 1894. Mrs. Good is a delightful conversa- tionalist and her talk sparkles with humor. (Copyright, 1929 CORPORATION TAX COLLEGTIONS GAIN :March Increase Shown.i $11,500,000,000 Profits for 1928 Estimated. By the Associated Press. Although income taxes paid by in-| dividuals exceeded those paid 'by corporations in the first quarter’s pay- ment of the 1928 tax due last March 15, Treasury experts yesterday esti- mated that corporations had net profits of approximately $11,500,000,000 last year. Corporation taxes collected in March aggregated $282,088,000, a gain of $17,477,000 over the same month last year, although the tax was reduced from 13!, to 12 per cent. Individual tax collections in March totaled $313,899,000, an increase of $68,997,000 over March, 1923, while the payments for the first quarter aggre- gated $346,356,152. The Treasury had estimated that the corporation tax decrease would mean a loss of $150,000,000 on the same amount of business as was transacted in 1927. For the fiscal year from last June 30 until March 31 of this year, individual income taxes have totaled $763,304,114, an increase of $119,099,923 over the same period of the previous year. Corporation taxes for the same period aggregated $925,861,043, a decrease over the previous year of $45,299.986. The total income taxes for the fiscal year amount to $1,689,165,158, a gain of $73,799,937 over similar period of the previous year. Capital stock sales or transfers tax took sharp upward move in March of this year, totaling $3,320,096 for an in- crease of $1,542,000 over the same month in 1928. For the first nine months of the fiscal year this tax ag- gregated $27,073,084, an increase of $11,412,102 over the same period a year ago. Miscellaneous taxes for the first nine months of the fiscal year aggregated only $448,013,000, a drop of $13,489,000 over the same period of the previous year.

Bride mn an opinion submitted to the commission yesterday. Today is the commission’s regular meeting day, but no meeting has been called. At the commission’s offices it was explained that a meeting probably will be called tomorrow or Monday. The commission has before it con- flicting advice from two legal experts. People’s Counsel Ralph B. Fleharty, to whom the question was first referred, held that there was no illegality in the stock ownership, while Bride took the opposite view. Cites Anti-Merger Law. ‘The question arose over ownership by the Capital Traction Co. of $50,000 se- curities of the Washington Gas Light Co. and ownership by the Washingion Railway & Electric Co. of $31.000 of the securities of the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co. Mr. Bride found the ownership was contrary to the so-called anti-merger law. which reads, in part: “That it shall be unlawful for any foreign public utility corporation, or for any foreign or local holding ra- tion, or for any local street railroad cor- poration, gas corporation, electric cor- poration, telephone corporation, tele- graph corporation, or any other local public utility corporation, directly or in- directly, to own, control, or hold, or vote stock or bonds of any public utility corporation organized under any gen- eral incorporation law or special act of the United States, to do business in the District of Columbia, except as hereto- fore or hereafter expressly authorized by Conmfn nn&u :h shall benunl.uw!ul ‘::; any public utility corporation organi or authorized as aforesaid mrgu or transfer any portion of its stock or bonds to any other public utility cor- poration, or holding corporation what- soever, unless heretofore or hereafter gp;essly authorized by Congress so 0. Declares Holding Is Illegal. The question was referred to the cor- poration counsel's office for opinion March 18. After quoting the law, Mr. Bride’s opinion reads: “I am of the opinion that under the section above quoted the holdings by the railway companies of gas or tele- phone bonds are illegal, except as ex- pressly authorized by Congress. “I have read with considerable inter- est the statement of the people’s coun- sel submitted to me by the executive secretary.

JUSTICE DISCUSSES NEGRO MEMORIAL Race Advised by Stafford to Bear Entire Cost of Building Here. American Negroes should contribute the entire amount toward the erection of their national memorial, Justice Wendell P. Stafford, associate justice of the District Supreme Court, declared last night before an audience gathered in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church in celebration of, the recent act of Congress providing for the, erection of a memorial suilding here as a tribute to the progress of the colored race. Justice Stafford pointed out that if the colored race raised the necessary amount without assistance it would prove their independence and impress upon the minds of the Nation the progress made by their race. Congress Members Speak. Three Representatives who sponsored the bill in the House—Will R. Wood of Indiana J. Will Taylor of Tennessee and Maurice H. Thatcher of Kentucky— addressed the nearly 2,000 present, ex- pressing their interest in the movement and promising support of the bill in the House. Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, who was a slave for 14 vears, told of his reverence for Lincoln, the man who freed him, and stressed the assistance given by his race in labor throughout the South.

Physicians, Amazed, Sfudy Him Closely at Hospital to Prove Transposition. A card, bearing the information that his heart, stomach and other vital or- gans are on the wrong side of his body, is carried by 17-year-old Paul Deeck wherever he goes to protect himself in event of an ln{ury necessitating an emergency operation. Paul, who lives in Berwyn, Md., went to the Johns Hopkins Hospital for an operation several months ago, and the fact that his vital ory are transposed was discovered at that time. He was not sufficiently impressed with the dis- covery to tell his parents, however, and they did not learn of the phenomena until two weeks ago. Keen Interest Aroused. The young man appears to be in per- fect health and works regularly in a laundry in Branchville, N Keen interest has been aroused among physicians of Maryland and the District of the strange case. Two weeks ago a Berwyn doctor, who has been Paul's family physician ever since he was born, but who did not sus- pect the transposition, was making a stethescopic examination of the lad for the Citizens’ Military Training Camp which he hopes to attend this Summer. Then he discovered that Paul's heart was on his right side and learned that his appendix, liver, stomach, large and si\;ull intestines, were all on the “wrong” side. 2 Hospital Doctors Half Skeptical. ‘When he told Providence Hospital Ehysichns about Paul they inquired, alf skeptically, if he could be brought to the hospital. A visit was arranged «PAUL DEECK. —Star Staff Photo. and for three days last week Paul was X-rayed, studied, examined, talked about and made the center of clinics under the direction of Dr. J. Lawn ‘Thompson. Classes of medical students were brought over to the hospital from Georgetown and George Washington Universities to attend clinics. So pleased were the doctors to be able to study Paul that they paid him for his time spent in the hospital. Paul himself says he fully enjoyed the ex- pertxence and is willing to go back again. Such Cases Extremely Rare. “It was the first time I was ever paid for visiting a hospital,” he says. The family physician declares thaty while cases of heart transpositions are not unusual, instances of all the organs being transposed are extremely rare, and believes Paul's case is the only one in the State of Maryland, pos- sibly in the entire: country. No ex- planation of the cause, other than an embryonic condition, could be advanced. PRESSROOM SERVES AS IMPROMPTU COURT Woman's Inability to Ascend Two Flights of Stairs Causes Quick Change. Appearing at Police Court yesterday to testify against the driver of an auto- mobile which struck and injured her, Mrs. Ella Brown, 1427 Thirty-fourth streets. was unable to ascend two flights of stars to the Traffic Division. Court attaches were in a quandary until it was suggested the pressroom would provide a suitable place to hear testimony. Judge McMahon, informed of the situation, ordered bailiffs and clerks to prepare the pressroom, on the first floor. for the session of court. Reporters hastily attempted to remove clippings and decorations that adorned the walls. Judge McMahon! however, interrupted their labors and court was held'in an atmosphere hardly in accord with the dignity of judicial procedure. A typewriter stand served as the magistrate’s bench, a dilapidated chair as the judge's seat. Witnesses main- tained their dignity with difficulty as their eyes roamed about the decorations, that would have done credit to an eighteenth century jockey club. After hearing testimony of Mrs. Brown and David W. Evans, 28, of the 3300 block Wisconsin avenue, charged with reckless driving, Judge McMahon ordered the case continued until May 1. TEXAS RAILROAD STRIKE COMPROMISE IS URGED| Hoover Board of Inquiry Makes Recommendations in Trans- portation Dispute. By the Associated Press. A compromise in the threatened strike on the Texas and Pacific Rail- way, under which the carrier and its employes would share equally in losses sustained by the latter in removal of their homes, made necessary by a change in the location of terminals, was recommended yesterday by the Emer- gency Board of Inquiry created by President Hoover to investigate the dis- ute. While conceding that the railroad is under “no legal or contractual liabil- ity” for these losses, the board declared that the change in terminals would re- sult in a substantial saving for the line and that in its opinion the carrier should not “reap the entire benefit” and the employes be “compelled to bear the entire loss.” On three other points of dispute the board made two recommendations fa- voring the workers and upheld the rail- road in the third. Contentions of the employes that pooling of cabooses, ex- cept in emergencies, was prohibited by an agreement previously entered into was sustained, as was their contention that a recently established run of 249 miles between Fort Worth and Texarkana was excessive and should be abolished. An adverse ruling, however, was re- ported upon the request of the employes that the seniority rules and schedules of the Texas & Pacific be applied to five subsidiary lines. ’ Vienna Communists Jailed.

TRAFFIC BUREAU Saving of $18,000 Yearly Seen if Superintendent of Police Took Over Duties. Believing the abolition of the Traffic Bureau and the placing of traffic con- trol directly in the hands of Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent of police, would save the taxpayers of the District $18,000 a year, the Dahlgren Terrace Citizens’ Association last night voted in favor of such a change at its meeting, in the Social Oyster House. : Dr. George Havenner, president of the Federation of Citizens' Associations, addressed the meeting on the work of the federation and Citizens' Advisory Council, to which Andrew F. E. Scheer, president of the Dahlgren group, was recently elected. Following the short business session an entertainment and social program was provided. W. A. Powers was master of ceremonies, while Mrs. Powers was chnlgnln of the committee on arrange- ments.
