He declared he had never asked any one in or out | {of the Internal Revenue Bureau to | expedite or do anything else to the | McCarter case. Indictment of the trio followed complaints made by McCarter to Treasury Secretary Morgenthau. 1 Preceding McCarter to the stand as | the defense opened its case this morn- |ing were 10 character witnesses for | Hardgrove, all of whom testified as to | the defendant’s good reputation in the | community. Directed Verdict Refused. After the Government rested late yesterday attorneys for the three de- fendants moved for a directed verdict, | but Justice Letts decided the case would have to go to the jury. The gist of the defense contention was that Hardgrove, Nelson and McElhill had been deliberately entrapped by the Internal Revenue Bureau agents. “They made this case in order to detect the case,” Leahy exclaimed. He also contended that the prosecu- tion’s testimony, if given the most favorable interpretatien, could indi- cate nothing more than that the de- fendants disclosed income tax in- formation which is not a criminal offense and cannot be made criminal by throwing about it the blanket cf a conspiracy charge. E. C. Palmer of the bureau’s in- telligence division, testified that Nel- son admitted to him that he pre- pared briefs for three tax cases im- pending for McEIhill. One of these cases was that of Harvey Gibson, president o the Manufacturers’ Trust Co. of New York, Palmer testified. The former auditor also was quoted as telling Palmer of dinner. parties accompanied by drinking during which he, MCcElhill, and sometimes Hard- grove, discussed tax matters. Nelson said McElill promised to help him secure promotion in. “the bureau, Palmer testified. Paperhanger Pays Instead. WHITE PLAINS, N. Y.

Welcoming Inherent in Filipino. And, finally, they reached the end | of their voyage and were given a wel- | come at Maniia that would have warmed the heart of an old-fashioned channel swimmer. For, while the art | of welcoming is an acquired gift with | | most people, it is inherent in the blood | of a Filipino, who has been welcom- | ing voyagers from across the seas since the Chinese pirates fook over | the island of Corzegidor in the year 1225 and even before that. Among the most kindly and gracefully hos- | pitable people in the world, they gave | Mr. Garner and Mr. Byrns and their | official guests a welcome of sirens, | whistles, bells, cannon, bands and cheers that brought them to their airy rooms and suites in the Government- | owned Manila Hotel, with their tongues hanging out and an anvil | chorus ringing in their ears. 1 They spent 12 full days in Manila, participated in the inauguration of | Mr. Quezon, made speeches felicitat- | ing the Filipinos and heard replies felicitating them; were dined, ban- queted, taken on sightseeihg trips, del- | uged by invitations and souvenirs and | drenched in a typhoon of hospitality | such as mortal man never pictured | before in all his fondest dreams. | And if any of them left Manila with tears in his eyes—which is doubtful, | as Congressmen usually manage to | keep a stiff upper lip—it was because | most of them weré wiser men and | therefore sadder than when they ar- | rived. The results of their trip, like | the fate of the Philipines, is in the lap of the gods. It is useless to speculate upon or to quote their individual views, for these are relatively of small im- portance. The policy of the United States henceforth toward the Philip- pines will be, as in the past, governed by high party councils, by the pressure of self-interested groups and blocs of voters back home, by a certain amount of expediency, the strategy of national defense, and—one may fervently hope —a determination to fulfill a moral obligation to the people, if not the politicians, of the Philippines Islands, assumed when the islands were bought from Spain.
