COUZENS ASSALS * MELLON TAY TALK Senator Says Address Was “Attempt to Sustain Stand Against Increase.” By the Associated Press. Secretary Mellon's discussion of taxes ‘was described today by Sernator Couzens, Republican, Michigan, as “an obvious attempt to sustain the evident intenticn of the administration not to have a tax increase at the next session of Conrgress.” “Nothing can stand in the way of sald Senator Couzens, who is a mem- ber of the Finance Committee, ‘‘except playing politics with the Treasury De- partment.” “One of the criticisms America has had of other Nations is that they did not balance their budgets,” he added. “If we are to be consistent, we should ‘balance our budget.” Urges Renewal of Gift Tax. Couzens has advocated a recreation of the gift tax and an increase in the estate tax as the first steps in revision of the tax law. He also has proposed that the graduation in the surtaxes be continued to higher scales on incomes above $100,000. ‘The Michigan Senator sald “It is rather ludicrous now after all the years of boosting President Coolidge and Sec- retary Mellon for the wonderful con- dition of the Treasury and their great accomplishment in reducing taxes, to see Mr. Mellon pass the buck to Con- gress for the deficit. They took all the credit for the surpluses and the tax reductions, but as a matter of fact Con- gress was responsible for both.” Predicts Bigger Deficit. ' ' Senator Couzens predicted a Govern- ment deficit of $2,000,000,000 by the end of the next fiscal year. As for Mr. Mel- lon’s complaint against Congres that it had not considered Treasury recommen- dations on the tax laws, he said “So far as I recall the only recommendation made by the Treasury was for repeal of the estate tax, which would have made a_further deficit.” ““Mr. Mellon said that 380,000 of 120,- 000,000 people in this country pay 87 per cent of the income tax,” he tinued. “Isn't that convincing evidence of my complaint that the wealth of the N]luon is concentrated in too few peo- ple.” R CENTRAL STUDENT WINS WESLEYAN SCHOLARSHIP Bernard H.

S. | Dan Poling, Preacher, Slated to Lead Barnstormers to Hamlets and Cities. Triple Onslaught in Campaign on Successive Days Due Until November, 1932. BY WILLIAM HARD. Dan Poling, preacher, of New York City, now moves to the front as one of th2 principal paladins of prohibition in the grand wet-and-dry brawl which will noi end till November of 1932, Mr. Poling will lead “the allied campaign- ers,” who threaten to turn out to be the most prodigious barnstormers in our country’s ry. ‘They will in operations this Sum- mer. They will take to the road in three “divisions.” They will stay on the road for nine months. They will ha- rangue every community of any large economic or political importance in the whole United States. Each community will be visited by each of the three “divisions” of these campaigners and crusaders. That is to say, each com munity will get three successive dry- battery shocks on three succéssive days. Moreover, with the continuous col- laboration of such tireless talkers as Raymond Robins and Oliver P. Stewart, and with the occasional intervention of such spacious speakers as Willlam E. Borah and Gifford Pinchot, the forces of Dan Poling will swarm into each . community for not only one meeting on each of the three successive days, but usually for two meetings a day and sometimes for three. Plans 10 Shows Daily. Moreover, in addition to meetings for the general public, there will be “or- ganization conferences,” “youth ban- quets” and other ceremonial and in- spirational occasions. It is safe to cal- culate that Mr. Poling and his fellow evangelists will accomplish at least 10 performances per diem in a minimum of three cities per diem for a period of approximately 38 weeks. The grand total of performance accordingly will rise to well above 2.500. ‘The wets are asked to note that the sobriety mecessary for the achievement of such physical feats is easy for the drys. Mr, Oliver P. Stewart, who will be Mr. Poling’s chief assistant orator, | ' made 143 speeches lately in Illinois in | more than 100 towns in 20 days. Mr. Poling is understood to have dared Mr. John J. Raskob to produce a wet fighter who can go that number of rounds in that length of time with Mr. Stewart. Mr. Stewart is assisted by Rev. N. C. Brown, who is a young woman, strikingly beautiful, and who began preaching at the age of 15. If the wets are discontented with the severe aspect and repressive aura of Mrs, Ella Boole, president of the Wom- en’s Christian Temperance Union, they will be asked to gaze upon Miss Brown, who, nevertheless, will Jeave them just as less as Mrs. Boole. The wets also are asked to note that their caricaturists who display the male | prohibitionist in a long black flapping coat and a tall black chimney-pot hat and who display the female prohibi- tionist in a garb equally forbidding will deflmve 'nn ex;wudmmmem P;ar their lus from stu Mr. Poling, Mr. Stewart or Miss Brown. % Mr. Poling, as this writer ‘must ad- mit, has the clothes and the manners of a high-pressure business executive. He been preaching in eminent pulpits all his adult life, but has been moved to write novels called “The Heretic” and “The Furnace,” and also a non-novel called “Huts in Hell.” He is a very smappy character. 8o, in fact, ‘The emphasis along that front is pass- ing, even among the preachers who in- habit it, from the clerical black to the business-like brown, blue and gray.

Dr. Dinwlddie, though a preacher, {has come right’ along with the new tendencies which are changing the pro- hibition movement continuously into a less ecclesiastical and more secular ef- fort. The true ultimate objective of Dan Poling’s “Allied Campaigners” is the same that recently has been pur- sued by Mr. Oliver P. Stewart’s “Flying Squadron,” which now will co-operate with the “Allled Campaigners.” That objective is to establish in every Amer- icau community, large and small, a local “Soclety in support of the eighteenth amendment,” which will be based not on church membership, but on citizen- ship in general. ‘The deep policy behind this transfor- mation has n expressed by Mr. Stew- art as follows: “No church body can go into prima- ries and elections without violating | rinciples which are fundamental to p both our religious and political institu- | tions. . The enforcement of the eight- eenth amendment demands an organi- zation of voters which can enter politics without embarrassment.” ‘That is, perhaps, the end of ecclesi- astical monopoly in prohibition political | leadership—and most certainly, anyway, the end of ecclesiastical raiment on the Ehlbfllfll political scene, except for .

By the Assoclated Press. VATICAN CITY, May 25.—The Vati- can plans to lodge a strong protest with the Spanish government concerning its decree authorizing religious freedom for all creeds. Pope Pius XI, after a lengthy con- ference with Cardinal Primate Pedro Lsegura, Archbishop of Toledo, let it be known that he considered the decree a clear violation of the concordat be- tween Spain and the papal state con- ferring special privileges on Catholi- m. Dispatches from Madrid have said that the government is drafting a pro- | gram Tfor the approval of the contem- | plated Parliament by which this con- cordat would be terminated. | Cardinal Segura, who arrived Satur- day night after an unceremonious de- parture from Spain, due to the recent anti-Catholic_riots, .discussed with the | Pontiff and Cardinal Pacelli, papal sec- |retary of state, the burning of church |property and the treatment of the clerics. Cardinal Segura is expected to Te- main here for several days conferring with Vatican Leads regarding religious conditions in Spain and the future at- | titude of the church toward the Span- ish Republic. CATALONIA VOTES LEFT. | Unified Republic Party Victor in | Provincial Elections. BARCELONIA, May 25 (#).—Elccted {to define the relationship of Catalonia toward the Spanish Republic, the Cata- |lonian_ Assembly will be dominated by | th Left Republican party, which desires | autonomy und<r the authority of the | central government. | ‘The left Republicans, led by Provision- al President Prancisco Macia, captured 22 ‘seats out of 39 voted on in yester- day's elections. The others were dis- | tributed as follows: Soclalist Unidn, 2; Republican Ent:nte, 2; Accion Catalo- *inia, 7; Independent Republican, 5, and Radical Republican, 1. Seven more representatives will be chosen latcr. The voting mainly was peaceful, al- though ballot boxes were smashed in two towns in the beli>f that Monarchist | candidates were leading. Several parties, including that led by Prancisco Cambo, abstained from vot- ing, charging that President Macia had pursued undemocratic msthods in ar- ranging the clections. Certain munic- ipal councils v:ere dissolved, it was said, because Monarchists candidates were strong in those localitics. | MADRID WORSHIPS AS USUAL.

BY CLARENCE DUBOSE. (Copyright, 1931, by The Associated Press.) MADRID, May 25.—Although wcmen cannot vote in Spain, they will be eligi- ble for election for the first time in June, as members of the new Constitu- ent Assembly. The provisional republican govern- ment has decreed that women and priests ' may also be elected to the As- sembly. The male voting age has been lowered from 25 to 23 years. This adds a considerable element to the republican strength, for the youtn of Spain Is strong for the new order. ‘Woman Suffrage Foreseen. ‘Many observers think women will be given the vote sooner cr later, but there is some opposition to it among the re- publicans and also amcng the Socialists and Communists. This is because scme of the Extreme Lefts fear that “more Spanish women might vote against - stead of for republican principles, being swayed by conservative impulses more than Spanish men are.” Many women are champlions of the republic and it is certain that numerous priests voted republican in the April municipal elections, which caused the downfall of the monarch. ‘The National Assembly elections will be the second elections Spain has had in eight years—since before the Primo de Rivera dictatorship, which began in 1923. The new Assembly will be Spain’s first Parliament since before the dic- tatership, and in many ways it will be more important than any similar body the country has ever known. Its job will be to redraft the nation’s laws, regulations and form of government. It must make & new constitution and pass upon scores of perplexing problems, such as the status of Catalona, the re- lation of church and state, the division of big estates, army reduction, budget and taxation, unemployment, revival of agriculture and industry, final disposi- tion of properties formerly belonging to the crown, investigations of the finan- cial operations of preceding zegimes and possibly of the King's alleged responsi- bility for Spanish military disasters in Morocco. First Assembly Task. ‘The first thing the Assembly will do will be to make the provisional re- publican government constitutional. It has the approval of the people, as ex- pressed in the municipal elections. But technically it will not be directly em- powered by the people until a Constitu- ent Assembly, elected with that au- thority, proclaims Spain a constitutional republic, writes such a constitution and names a republican goyernment to suc- ceed President Alcala Zamora's cabinet. 23 TO COMPETE HERE FOR SPELLING TITLE National Contest Tomorrow Will Be Staged in Auditorium of Museum Building. ‘Twenty-three champlon spellers will compete here tomorrow for a $1,000 first prize in the Seventh Annual Na- tional Spelling Bee Contest, conducted this year under auspices of the Louis- ville Courler-Journal and Louisville ‘Times, The contest will open at noon in the auditorium of the Natural History Building of the National Museum and will be broadcast over the National Broadcasting Co.’s chaln of stations.

ASSASSIN EVADE GUARD TO Victims of Double D INTRICATE SLAY POLITICIAN Los Angeles Murder Slain Amid Maze of Alarms, Signals, Protectors. Special Dispatch to The Star. LOS ANGELES, Callf, May 25 (N.AN.A.) —The details of an amazing intrigue are slowly being traced aut with the investigation into the double mur- | der here last Wednesday afternoon of Charles H. Crawford, politician, and Herbert Spencer, magazine editor, in| the former’s office in Hollywood. David H. Clark, soclety man, sports- man, until recently deputy district at- torney, with a remarkable record for so young & man and now a candidate for judge of the Municipal Court at tie June election, stands accused of the murders. Fear of death at the hands of an enemy so haunted Crawford that he surrounded himself with every means! of protection—guns, bodyguards and a | system of signals znd alarms in the| office on Sunset boulevard—but none of | flaming pistol. Died Near Switch. ‘When Crawford floor of his inner office, mortally wound- ed, his hand was within two feet of the switch that would have brought help, it was revealed at the murder- office today. ‘The switch controlled an entire elec- trical system of bells, buzzers and wires. The switch is located in a wall closet of the special conference room, where Crawford faced a murderer’s gun.

Roof Is Wired. So afrald was the politician that some one would assassinate him from above, he insisted on a network of wires being strung around the roof of the bungalow office before he would move his desk in it. £ Besides the alarm system, it was also discovered that Crawford had special locks installed in doors and strong iron crumpled to the | bars that could be dropped across door- ways. But these precautions were of no |avail in his last hour.

May 25—FPolice in vestigating the slaying of Charles H. Crawford, politiclan, and Herbert F. Spencer, magazine editor, theorized to- day that the victims had held affidavits and photographs which would injure the man who killed them. David H. Clark, former deputy dis- trict attorncy, and now a candidate for municipal judge, who is accused of the slayings, declined to comment, soying he would “talk at the proper time.” A search for June Taylor, under- world character, wanted for questioning in the case, continucd here and at San Francisco. A woman believed by po- lice to have been June Taylor visited Albert Marco, former Los Angeles un- derworld boss. at San Quentin Peniten- tiary soon after the killings. Photographs Feared. Investigators said Clark, who prose- cuted Marco, was lured to a gay party | between the time of Marco's first trial, which resulted in a hung jury, and his second hearing. They said they had evidence that photographs were made, himself and women at the party, and that the women made afidavits which might have ruined him politically had they been made public. ‘The afidavits and picturcs, or sup- posed pictures, were used by Marco, in- vestigators said, in an effort to force him to manipulate the jury panel in a manner_favorable to Marco. Superior Judge Willlam Doran said he “didn't like the atmosphere of the Marco case jand dismissed the entire panel. Marco's conviction followed. Officers said the feared party “evi- dence” fell into ‘the hands of Craw- ford, who opposed Clark’'s judgeship candidacy, and Spencer was in a posi- tion to publish it. One witness has said he heard some one going through Craw- | ford’s desk immediately after the shoot- ings last Wecnesday. witnesses in the case were taken to the scene of the slayings yesterday and questioned by W. Joseph Ford, special prosecutor. Police disclosed Crawford had his office equipped with an elaborate hidden | system of bells and alarms. Crawford, they said, was within 2 feet of the control lever when he was fatally shot.

OTTAWA, May 25.—Wide interest was aroused today by a St. John's dis- "pnch to the New York Herald-Tribune concerning a reported attempt by Euro- pean interests to buy Labrador. ‘The dispatch sald the government of Newfoundland, Great Britain's oldest colony, was facing bankruptcy and that {in certain political circles it was b2ing | charged that the situation was brought about deliberately to force the people of | the colony to agree to the sale of Labrador. European interests, not identified, were | said to be prepared to pay $100,000,000 for Labrador, with its yet largely unex- plored resources of timber, minerals and water power. The sale of Labrador has been dis- cussed for a long time. A year ago a private interest tried to start negotia- ticns to have Canada buy the vast ter- ritory, but was unsuccessful. Former Premier MacKenzie King sald | in Parliament last year that to make the | purchase at that time would have in- volved expenditures so heavy that the Canadlan people would disapprove. At the time, reports were heard that United States interests were anxious to buy Labrador. Some constitutional law- | yers here have expressed the opinion that while Newfoundland could sell Labrador to foreigners it would still be British domain. In order to transfer the sovereignty to a foreign power it would be necessary to get the approval of Great Britain and Canada, these lawyers have said.
