Private Purses of U. S. Justices Will Feel Effects of Tax Ruling

Times Special WASHINGTON, May 26.—Eight justices of the Supreme Court—five active and three retired—will have an unaccustomed and expensive task next March when income-tax day rolls around. Heretofore they rmpnt from paymge moeome ax, either Federal or state, although their four Roosevelt-appointed colleagues have been subject ta the Federal tax. But unless nme of the eight, or one of the manv lowercourt justices similarly affected, chooses to challenge an act of Congress that already has the implied blessing of the Court's those davs are gone forever, The salary of a Supreme Court associate justice, whether active or retired. is $20.000. The Chief Justice gets 220.500. If an associate justice j& married. has no minnar children or other dependants, and no other income, his Federal tax will be $1589. ’ But some of the justices are well off in personal finances. Assume that one of them has an income of $10,000 a year aside from his salary. On that he has been paying $455. Hereafter he will pay on a total income of $30,000, and his total tax| will be $3569. The difference, $3114, is the annual cost to him of Con-| aress’ decision to tax judicial salaries. Judges of the U. S. Circuit Courts, paid $12,500 a year, and of the District Courts, paid $10,000, will be! taxed proportionately. Technically, the Supreme Court's 7-1 decison the other day in the Woodrough case determined only the propriety of taxing judges apnointed since June 6, 1932. (In 1932

Wooedrough decision Justice Frankfurter Justice Butler alone, thet tax lawvers believe the Court is ready to serap also the precedent of Evans vs, Gore (1920) and permit the taxation of judoes whenever appointed, on the grouad that a nondiseriminatorv tax is not a diminuation of salarv within the Constitution's meaning In fact.

jus- | tices live bia, which has no local income tax. Justices Black and Douglas live respectively in Virginia and Maryvland, which do tax incomes. Rut Justice Douglas, for instance, considers his legal residence fo he in Connecticut, from which was appointed, and Connecticut has no meome tax. For some of the justices, the shoe may be on the other foot. Justices Hughes and Sione, for example, lived in New York prior to their appointments, and if they maintain legal residence in that state they willl now be subject to stiff state income taxes

Flash!

Adhesive Tape Provides Scientific Test of Green Light.

RINCETON, N. Here's one you can try yourself: Take a reel of sticky tape (surgeon’'s adhesive, electricians’ or “Scotch”) into a completely dark room, Wait until your eyes are “used to the dark’—dark adapted, as physiologists term it. Then quickly strip off a length of the tape. There's a very good chance you will see a flash of greenish light where it is being pulled from the roll. As a variant, vou might pour a film of collodion on a sheet of glass, and after it has hardened suddenly peel it off in the dark. This curious flashing, which bears the scientific name of triboluminescence, has been investigated by Prof. E. Newton Harvey and Charles Butt af, Princeton University, and is the subject of a report by Prof. Harvey in the current issue of Science,

» » » T is apparent,” states . Harvey, “that these nomena have a decidedly trical flavor.” The phenomenon, which observers have noted also, seems to be related to what happens in a neon tube. The electrical discharge excites the gas molecules and causes them to glow. Indeed, Prof. Harvey and Mr. Butt have obtained the characteristic reddish glow of neon by shaking substances known to be triboluminescent with a steel ball in a tube containing low-pressure atmosphere of neon.
