Lyle, who received $7,500, was the attendant who took the $lO gold ransom note at his station in the Bronx. New York, and Allen, who got $5,000, was the Sourland mountain character who wandered into the woods and accidentally found the body identified as that of the Lindbergh baby. It was the fact that Lyle jotted down the license number of the car driven by the man who gave him the note that led to capture of Bruno Richard Hauptmann who was executed for the crime.

MERCY KILLINGS ARE ADVOCATED Indiana University Professor Says Practice Consistent Bloomington, Ind., Jan 17. (U.R) —Mercy killings to put to death those persons hopelessly ill with i no possible chance of recovery and i with the will to die are consistent ' with the advancement of civiliza--1 tion, according to Stephen S. VishI er, professor of geology at Indiana university and a director of the newly formed national organization for the legalization of such killings. Competent physicians would approve cases of euthanasia before the patient's wish to die could be . carried out under the proposed I law. Visher said Visher renre- ■ sents the midwest on the organj ization's directorate. ‘‘The purpose of the organize- ] tion,” Visher said, "is to make legal the putting to death of per- ! sons hopelessly ill, with no possible chance of recovery and with . the will to die.” "If a horse or some other doi mestic animal has been hopelessly I injured and is suffering we put It Ito death. But humans under simj ilar circumstances are left to sttfI fer, even though they prefer a tneriful death,” England, FTance, the Netherlands and Scandinavian countries have adopted the practice, he said. Cases where continued sickness brought tragedies were pointed l out by Visher. Constant care of I a hopelessly sick girl in Colorado ; had caused her father, a physician, i to give her a fatal dose of poison ; and then die later of impaired] health from the long hours of care | for her. In Buffalo. N. Y-, Visher said, a I father had killed his son to relieve I his suffering after he had been, mangled so badly that recovery was out of the question. o Indiana Village Saved From Fire Sparksville, Ind.. Jan. 17 (UP) — Fire of undetermined origin last night destroyed the store and home of W. K. Barnett and ruined the ho nV? of Isverett Lee next to it, causing damage estimated today at $20,000. The entire village was saved from ! destruction by volunteer crews, a] chemical fire-fighting unit from Me- i dora, and mem'bers of the CCC' I camp at Brownstown, who rushed ! their equipment to the scene. o Cardozo’s Condition Reported Unchanged' Washington, Jan. 17 —-(UP) —The i i condition of Justice Benjamin N. t'urdozo of the supreme court was.

I The general feeling undoubtedly > is that once the principle of the I tax is permanently embedded in ' our tax laws, no overabundance of imagination is needed to guess what it will ultimately grow into.” | He receiled how the “young and feeble" one per cent income tax of 1913 grew into “the present | overgrown and overexpanded 79' per cent top bracket income tax.” He inferred that the undistributed profits tax might grow in the same way. Seidman also proposed repeal of the present system of taxing capi-

I tai gains as ordinary Income. He uuggested replacing it with a 13Vi I per cent levy with losses limited to 12% per cent maximum. He said the proposal to change tlie taxable percentage of capital gains I —as recommended by the ways and means tax subcommittee — would not eliminate objections to ' the present system. Seidman argued that the best way to make the nation “tax conscious” would be to increase the personal income tax.
