TAX 'AVOIDANCE' INVESTIGATION WELL ATTENDED BUT BECOMES TAME AFFAIR MANY CALLED BUT THEY ARE SMALL AND IT WAS REGULAR ublia Finds Little Excitement In Probe Which Promises No Punishment FLASHES CLEAR ASTOK'S YACHT Washington, July Astor's yacht, Nourma- hal, was given a clean, bill of health by Under-Secrctury of Treasury Kosu'ell Magill today before the congressional committee on tax evasion and avoidance. FIVE DIE FROM BURNS Nampa, Idaho, July, S)--A "safe and gone" Fourth of July order was issued today by Mayor Lewis of Nampa banning use of fireworks here after five people had died from burns received in a drug store fireworks explosion last night. f. STEWARI (Central Press Columnist) WASHINGTON, July ongress' investigation of in- ome tax is not roving to be as good a show generally, was anticipated. It is too technical.

The average individual evidently es not understand the legal de- ces by which folk with supposedly ry big incomes have been taxed on relatively small ones, or not axed at all in gome cases. Lawyers the alleged "avoiders" have so slick as to have had the etter even of treasury experts. aturally, then, the whole thing akes scarcely any sense at all to ordinary layman. The Purpose The alleged "avoiding" has been one in accordance with the law's iquirements, anyway. Besides, it not charged that the alleged (at least not many of are punishable.

The govern- ent can't so much as make back Elections from them. The avoids only took every advantage that hey wera legally entitled to take. Perhaps the law ought to be so hanged as to deprive them of the dvantages they have availed thern- of--to make it an airtight-er in future. That, nominaBy, Is the sole pur- the investigation. iryone knows that its inci- entaT purpose was to put a lot of economic royalists" on the pan, ith a view to the public's enjoy- at seeing them squirm ot fire of Far be it from me to get no fun ut of watching an "economic oyalist" wriggle, under such cir- umstances.

But it hasn't worked very well. has been "poor entertainment Not Same "Appeal" The investigation undoubtedly ad its origin, a bright idea, in revelation, before the Pecora anking and currency inq'uiry, two three years ago, that there was year for which J. P. Morgan paid income tax. Of course everyone felt that this rank injustice--though not i illegality.

The notion was that' the dis- losure of a long list.of'Simil ar avoiders" would be followed by a imilar popular multiplied the greater number of names on he scroll. The thing has not developed. In the first place, there are not enough outstanding a of 'avoiders," like J. P.Morgan's. Read into thi'roster is a category at one-horse; small-time multimillionaires, tor whom nobody cares makes your blood boil to hear that there was a year when J.

P. Morgan paid no income tax, hut you won't worry as to or not John S. Smith or M. Jones did. No Real Investigator ie, if' John Smith or George Jones, your next door neighbor, aid no tax the same year that you did, you may resent it.

But Smith or Jones, in all probability, is a New Yorker, who has no neighbors to be resentful. There's a certain personality about J. P. Morgan, but not about a petty, plutocrat. He isn't worth a congressional committee's' panning.

The income tax committee hasn't got a good either. Ferdinand Pecora, for the senate's banking and currency was an accidental wonder. For that matter, that committee had fizzled along for'a couple of years without hitting on anything sensatioaal until Pecora, by a fluke, was hit on. It was Pecora's investigation; not the committee's. CongressmanUobert L.

Doughton is chairman of the income tax wheel-horse, tut with no more sense of publicity than a rabbit. And he has had no backing. Senator Robert M. La Toilette is one of his members. "Young Bob" is a marvel, but he is too busy elsewhere.

"Pep" Needed In short, a congressional investigating committee, to bo successful, has got to have "pep." This one hasn't got it. It lacks a big" names," as maga- express it Oh, it has the of some middling big ones- multimillionaires. They haven't done anything, either for which to be put into jail. That spoils it, for what we call a "newspaper story." i SET $10,000 DMIUGES MARION, July Herman Mitchell, Kokomo, today had been awarded $10,000 damages in his automobile accident suit against Seested, wealthy Kansas City, Mo, resident.

HOLIDAY SNAPS MAY TAKEPRIZE How would you like to be given at least two days, or possibly three, to go out and take snapshots with the understanding that they would be eligible to compete for 1 prizes in the Hammond Times amateur snapshot contest and with the added chance of having one or more of them hung in a national salon in Washington, D. to compete for cash awards totaling $10,000. You're getting that opportunity with the coming July 4 holiday, so take full advantage of it.

The pictures you take over the holidays can be entered in next week's local contest or any of the succeeding weekly contests. Whether you plan to go to a ball game, play golf or tennis, go to the lake, take a motor trip or stay at home, you will find numberless opportunities for snapping pictures of your children, friends, pets, land and water scenes, "off-guard" shots, action pictures, still life or what have you. You don't have to be a world traveler to get prize winning snapshots. Three of the four $500 national class winners in 1936 were pictures taken either in the home or in the backyard. Scores of other winners were taken right at home.

The grand prize winning snapshot was taken inside the winner's home. Much depends on your powers of imagination or your ability to see picture possibilities. It's all right to shoot in bit-or-miss fashion. A lucky shot may turn out to be a prize winner, but giving some thought to composition, lighting background and general interest appeal is the best and surest procedure for getting snapshots prize winning caliber. When taking snapshots include only the principal subject in a picture.

In other words, if you are taking a picture of an individua or a group, focus the lens on the principal subject and forget abou the sharpness of the background or the surrounding scenery, build ing, or whatever it may be, unless the background is of some impor tance and is part of the story. In other words, try to visualize how your subject will appear in the finished print, or what you want to interpret. When you havi learned to think and "size up" youi picture before you snap the shutte: you well along your way to ward your goal--pictures of priz winning appeal. The entries for the seventh of the contest are coming in rap idly. Every mail brings additiona snapshots and this week's total i expected to be the largest numbe of entries since the start of th contest.

Next week should see ai ven larger number of fine picture submitted. Turn to page 14 of today's edi tions of the Hammond Times and read the contest rules. Load your camera with film and begin snapping pictures. HOWE HEIRS THAT PRINTING IS FIRST W. H.

Justice of the Peace Frank Marin Brown, of Hammond, declared has between 125 and 145 old actions pending for judgment and about 30 new cases.

Justice of the Peace Vincent 3rogan, of East Chicago, reported through his secretary that at least 150 old cases are pending in his court for judgments. The secretary said no new cases have been filed yet Under the provisions of the new law, creditors may bring collection suits against delinquent debtors in justice of the peace courts up to $200. This act replaces the 1925 statute that was invalidated by the 'state supreme court early in 1935 on the grounds that it violated both the state and federal constitutions. North township's two justices of the peace will receive no personal fees in of the pending garnishment actions. Each is paid a salary of a year by the township and out of this amount each must pay a part of his office rent and the salary of his-clerk.

All fee collections go to the township. Only the constables still are operating on the old fee basis. The 300-odd pending cases in Hammond and East Chicago courts were filed by merchants during the last 30 days in anticipation of the new law. They represent numerous old accounts that have been carried by the plaintiffs since the old statute, was declared-unconstitutional in 1935. Accounts not subject to the statute of limitations, which' outlaws claims of six years' standing or more, are collectible under the new statute.

After new garnishee judgments are obtained, esich defendant has an exemption of $15 of his salary, which 'requires him to pay 10 per cent of his earnings above $15. In cases where a person Is subject to more than one garnishment, he first one filed is the first to ie served. CHICAGO, July 2.
