ENMITY FLARES UP AT SCHULTZ TRIAL e | Career of Former Beer Baron Will Be Bared at Income Tax Trial. By the Assoclated Press. MALONE, N. Y., July 23—In an at- mosphere tense with enmity, Arthur Flegenheimer, alias “Dutch Schultz,” began another fight today to escape imprisonment for neglecting to give the Federal Government its tax per- centage of his illicit beer-purveying profits. Schultz, erstwhile Bronx beer-run- ner and policy king, is in for some | unpleasant moments in the court of Federal Judge Frederick H. Bryant, Government prosecutors indicated. They declared they would go further In Upper and Lower TAX ESTATE TAX L than prove Schultz evaded $92,000 taxes on his income. Activities to Be Shown. | They will portray him, they said, as closely connected with much of the | guerilla warfare that featured New York prohibition days’ beer enter- prises. The sharp hostility between prose- cutors and defendant flared into the open yesterday when Special Prosecu- tor Martin Conboy, asked if he intend- ed to shake hands with Schultz in the court, snapped: “I certainly will not.” Conboy retired last Spring as United | Btates attorney in New York, but so eagerly did he want to direct the bat- | tle against Schultz that he requested appointment as Special Assistant to the Attorney General. Feeling Expressed. Schultz several times has expressed | & general lack of kind feelings toward Conboy. At his first trial in Syracuse, when ® jury came to no agreement, the Government attorneys did not go deeply into the defendant’s career. Federal agents and New York City policemen who listened to telephone conversations on the elaborate private | network of wires which made the | Schultz beer syndicate such a smooth- ly operating institution are expected to enliven the current proceedings by fuller testimony, FISH TERMED BEST CANDIDATE OF G. 0. P. “Sympathetic Understanding of | Needs of West” Are Cited by Knutson. By the Associated Press ST. PAUL, July 23.—Representative Harold Kautson, Republican, of Min- nesota, yesterday termed Representa- tive Hamilton Fish, jr, of New York, the Republican party’s “best candidate for President in 1936.” Knutson, returning to Minnesota for & 10-day rest, following an attack of | ptomaine poisoning, said: “I am more convinced than ever | that Hamilton Fish, jr., is the ‘white hope’ for 1936. “While he is from the East, he always has shown a sympathetic un- derstanding of the needs of the West. His voting record on farm measures is of the best. “I know of no other available can- didate who is better qualified to be | President of the Uaited States.” He commended Fish’s plan to pay the soldier bonus in cash out of the $4,000,000,000 work-relief fund which | Congress voted. —_— NEW RE-EMPLOYING DIVISION IS FORMED | Prince Georges, Charles, St. Marys | and Calvert Counties Are Represented. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md. July 23.—| Formation of a Southern Maryland | division of the National Re-employ- ment Service to include Prince Georges, Charles, St. Marys and Cal-* vert Counties was announced here to- day. Heretofore Calvert has been affili- ated with Anne Arundel County and Baltimore City, and the other three counties comprised a district headed by E. Claude Gaylor, who also will head the new division. Because of the enlarged territory and expected increase in the service's operations, the division headquarters office staff has been enlarged through the employment of Wayne Shepherd, interviewer, and Miss Emma Simonds, clerk-typist. It is anticipated larger quarters also will be furnished the division head- | quarters. In co-operation with the County Welfare Boards, the Re-em- ployment Service will have a key position in the new Works Progress Administration set-up. - and incomes. no dependents. capita tax burden in England was United States last year. | EW YORK.—The American in- | | N ernment demands on his pock- ing a much heavier tax for a longer | levied in the United States in 1913, | stage in the operetta, “Princess Ida,” | Tybody earns And then go on to complain: | | By the Associated Press. come taxpayer, groaning un- der the prospect of new Gov- etbook, may pause to shed a tear for his English cousin, who has been pay- period. | Whereas the first income tax was as far back as 1884 in England W.

Not only is the per capita tax bur- den greater in England ($99.11 in| 11934) than in the United States ($74.37), but the British government, | with its years of experience, seems to | collect its revenues with a firmer hand. v Nearly twice as many field men are | employed for this purpose in England as in America.

DALLAS, Tex., July 23—The home State of Vice President John Garner was threatened with a Democratic party split today as State’s rights ad- herents planned a fight against Presi- dent Roosevelt’s administration. ‘The bolting group was led by Joe Bailey Humphreys and Phil Overton, the two who resently made an un- successful attempt to unseat Elliott Roosevelt as vice president of the State organization of young Demo- crats. Revolt leaders unleashed scorching charges of “double-cross” and “be- | trayal” by the Roosevelt administra- | tion.. “The purpose of our new State's rights organization will be to send D. C, TUESDAY, instructions to nominate a real Dem- ocrat for President,” Humphreys said, adding: “In our last Democratic platform we condemned Republican practice of restricting agricultural products to the demand of the domestic markets, and yet, when in power, we went the Re- publicans two better by plowing up more cotton, killing more live stock and generally destroying foodstuffs, while our national malady—unem- ployment—went unchecked.” e YOUNG T.

Increase of naval line officer strengih to meet essential demands of the treaty Navy now under construc- tion was provided for yesterday in the signing of a bill by President Roosevelt. It was the last of three major naval measures of the session. The others, already enacted, provide for additional pilots for the Navy's fighting planes and authorize the strengthening of key naval bases, chiefly in the Pacific. The bill signed yesterday fixes the authorized line-officer strength at 6,531, an increase of 1,032 over the present 5,499. aumber of officers which the Navy | estimates will be needed ashore and | afloat for a Navy of full treaty power | Congressmen to save the family china. | .....‘.“ 1000600000000 is 7,041.

NEW YORK, July 23.—The United States Army, pretty much downcast, isn't going to shoot its biggest gun after all. Official announcement was made last night that out of respect for crockery and windows in the neigh- borhood of Fort Tilden, Rockaway Beach, the 16-inch gun at Fort Tilden would continue on an ornamental basis. The gun, one of the largest in the world, was to have been test fired today—the first time since 1920—to try out a new fire-control device.
