INCOME TAX RATES
HIKED BY HOUSE:;
WEW GIFT TAX
WASHINGTON — (AP) — The
senate finance committee today
hiked up the individual income tax
rates as along the line above the
increases voted by the house in
the revenue bill,
Tre new gift tax in the house
revenue hill was approved by the
senate commitee but the exemp
tion was increased from $3,000 to
$5,000. .

the house bill with a maximum
rate of 45 per cent also was ap
proved by the committee.
By eleven to seven, the commit.
tee rejected a proposal by Sena
tor ‘Couzens (R. Mich.), to revive
the 1918 schedules, providing a
maximum surtax of 656 per cent
and lowering the exemptipns.
Democrats, who opposed the war
time rate together with some Re
publicans who joined them, then
countered with a proposal to in.
crease moderately the ' income
schedules above the rates voted
by the house.
The committee almost unani
mously adopted a schedule pre.
sented by Senator Harrison, of
Mississippi, calling for a maximum
surtax of 45 per cent instead of
the 40 per cent figure carried in
the house bill.
Normal income rates were boost.
ed to 3 per cent on the first $4,-
000 income; six per cent on the
next $4,000 and ‘9 per cent on the
income above SB,OOO.
The present normal rates are 1

DARROW T 0 MAKE
FINAL SREUMENT
Veteran Attorney Closes
Plea for Massie and
Comrades Today
By WILLIAM H. EWING
HONOLULU —(AP)— Clarence
Darrow, astute criminal attorngey,
today faced his final attempt <to
clear four Americans in a murder
trial which brought the 76. year.
old legal veteran out of retirement:
He was to. present a 3-hour
closing argument before a racially
mixed jury which is trying Mrs.
Granville Fortescue, Lieut. Thomas
H. Massie, her son.iniaw, and
two Navy enlisted men -for the
lvnching of Joseph Kahahawai. The
Hawaiian allegedly had confess2d
participation in a criminal attack
upon Mrs, Thalia Massie, the
naval officer's wife.
Although the prosecution was al
lotted a period following Darrow’s
address, attorneys for both sides
were hopeful the case would be in
the hands of the jury before ad.
journment for the day. An after.
noon session of the court was
planned. The instructions of Judge
Charles S. Davis remain to be
given after the closing arguments,
Darrow was expected to piead
not only the defense contention
that Lieutenant Massie was mo.
mentarily insane when he held the
pistol that killed Kahahawal, but
also the “unwritten law.”"
Insanity Plea
The insanity plea presumably
had a jolt coming at the hands
of Judge Davis in the instructions.
This was foreshadowed by a re.
mark of Barry 8. Ulrich, associ.
ate prosector, in his address to the
jury yesterday.
Ulrich told the jurors Judge
Davis would instruct that the in
sanity claim would not be suffici.
ent to clear Massie if it merely
showed Massie to be mentally de.
ranged the moment the shot was
fired.
Neither Judge Davis nor the de
fense challenged Ulrich’s state.
ment,
In the defense testimony the
claim was made Massie's mind
went blank when he stood before
Kahahawai ~ with a pistol and
heard the native confess the at.
tack on Mrs. Massie. The Navy
officer testified he remembered
nothing thereafter until he was
taken to the police station two
hours later.
Among Ulrich’s statements 10
the jury were: “The alleged fact
the decreased assaulted the wife
of one of the defendants furnisnhes
no defense for any of the defend
ants.”
“If you accept this insanity plea
then you publish to the world thot
Hawaii is a safe place to commit
murder if you have m on 2y
enough.”
“You ecannot make Hawaii safe
against rape by licensing murder.”
George S. Leisure, Darrow’s :us.
sociate, told the jury that but so-
Kahahawai's death other womn
might have been attacked. He
sought to minimize Ulrich’s state.
ment the political figure of Hawali
depended upon the verdict.
Sacrificing Spirit of War Veterans
Extolled in Memorial Address Here
“Be thou faithful unto death and
1 will give thee a crown of life”
This was the theme of an address
by Dr. W, H, Wrighton, of the phi

exercises held Tuesday in the Ath

BISHOP REESE URGES SACREDNESS
- OF MARRIAGE TAUGHT BY PASTORS
AUQUSTA, Ga. —(AP)—Declar
ing that “many marriages are in
fact if mot in ilntent, trial marri.
ages,” the Rt. Rev. F. F. Reese,
bishop of the Episcopal diocese c¢f
Georgia , teday urged clergymen
and laymen to teach everyone of
“the sacredness before God of this
relationship.”
The Bishop, in his annual mes.
sage to the diocese in session herec
gaid marriage is regarded by some
persons as a temporary arrange
ment. “It is no longer conceived
as being holy matrimony, but
merely a temporary arrangement
contingent upon the saperficial
satisfaction Which the parties find
in it, to be dissolved on frivolous
motives in crder to try it again
under the same conditions of ex.
perimentation.”
The attack on the evil, he said
must begin “in our efforts to
proclaim and teach the sacredness
before God of this relationship, in
stituted of God, and responsi.
bilities it involves as a life-long
union to be perfected as life goes
cn by mutual sacrifices and fore.
bearance, in the fear of God.”
He wurged clergymen to glive
more time to private and publie
instruction about holy matrimony .
