Thursday, December 21, 1939 The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Seven King and Queen A Received by Pope Pius Vatican City, Dec. 21 (&) pope Pius XII, receiving King Vittorio Emanuele and Queen Elena in offi cial audience, lauded the Italian government today for "permitting Italy In this grave moment of war to remain ouLside the conflict." Vatican City authorities announ ced that on Dec. 28 the Pope would go to the Qulrinal palace to return the visit in the first call by any Pontiff on an Italian king since unification of Italy 60 years ago. The palace once was occupied by the Popes themselves when they ruled Rome. The Pope's visit would thus mark Increasingly close relations between the Vatican and the Italian govern ment since Pope Pius XI negotiated the Lateran Accords in 1929, end- Ing the long dispute between church and state that grew out of the Itnlian occupation of Rome. Prom 1870, when Italian troops entered the city, the Popes had con sidered themselves prisoners in the Vatican, refusing to leave it as a protest against the loss of their temporal domain. Pope Pius XI ended the voluntary "imprisonment," and was visited by the King and Queen after the Lat eran accords, but he sent his secre tary of state to return the call. Today the royal visitors were ac companied by high government offic ials In 15 automobiles. It was the second visit of the King and Queen since the signing of the Lateran treaties in 1929. The governor of Vatican City met them at the boundaries of the Vati can and read an official message of welcome. The King and Queen then proceed ed to the Papal apartments where they talked with the Pope for 40 minutes and presented members of k their party. Mrs. Stearns, 73r Hurt by Auto Mrs. F. O.

West to Fight For Projects In Congress Washington, Dec. 21 Pj Western congressmen prepared today to re sist reported proposals of drastic reductions In the 1940-41 budget for reclamation project construc tion. Reports reaching Representative Leavy (D., Wash.), among others, were that estimates before the bud get bureau were being cut as much as 50 per cent below what the re clamation bureau believed to be the minimum sums required to keep work on specific projects geared to present speed. Leavy said that if this were so, it would mean the "crippling" of such undertakings as the central valley project In California, Grand Coulee dam In Washington state, the Colorado-Big Thompson project and several others. "I for one," he declared, "propose to do everything in my power to see that these items are restored to the amounts the reclamation bureau says are required. Not only would these reductions be calamitous to the western irrigated states, but any abrupt curtailment of the present program would entail a terrific loss to the government itself." The Washington congressman, a member of the house committee on interior department appropriations, pointed out that in the case of Grand Coulee dam approximately (24,000, 000 was needed to complete the structure during the next fiscal year. 2 Life Scouts Given Awards Malcolm McLean of troop 11 and Dale Gordon of troop 13 were made life scouts during the December court of honor held by Cherry City district, Boy Scouts of America, at the Chamber of Commerce last night.

Many Charges Still Faced By Buchalter New York, Dec. 21 (Pt Swarthy Louis (Lepke) Buchalter, 42, who will be sentenced January 2 for con spiracy to violate the narcotics laws, still faced today narcotic and bri bery charges under which he could be sentenced to a maximum of 164 years In prison and $180,000 in fines. Judge John C. Knox told William Kleinman, Buchaltcr's attorney, that "You should know how you are going to plead on these other charges by January 2" but Kleinman did not Indicate how his client would plead. A federal court Jury convicted Buchalter of conspiracy last night after hearing the government de scribe him as "top man" in a $10,- 000,000 International syndicate which smuggled drugs Into the United States illegally from France, Japan, China and other countries in 1035-36-37. Buchalter, once described by' Dis trict Attorney Thomas E. Dewey as "Public Enemy No. 1" and "the nation's No. 1 industrial racketeer" did not take the stand to defend himself. His counsel offered brief character testimony and insisted that the Jury disregard his reputa tion as an industrial racketeer. Max Schmuckler. a co-defendant, was convicted of the same charge, but David Kardonick, the third co- defendant, was acquitted. Maximum penalties of two years In prison and $10,000 fines can be Imposed Buchalter and Schmuckler, had informed him that he did not expect to concentrate his attention on aeronautical matters in the fu ture. Bush said that Lindbergh, In resigning, had offered to consult with the committee in an advisory capacity if requested to do so. Bush praised Lindbergh's contri butions to the work of the commit tee.

It's the same reason, a phycholog ical one, which Impels friends or relatives to give you caramels when they know they'll plague your false teeth, or prompts homely girls to give particularly nauseous perfumes to beauties. Dr. Robert N. McMurry, psycholo gist on the staff of the Chicago cen tral YMCA college, said today that "unconscious hostile impulses" were partly to blame for the giving of gifts not always appreciated. "All too often," he explained, "the object of respect, admiration and even love Is also the object of envy, rivalry, fear and hatred. The only difference is that the respect, admir ation and love are conscious, while the less admirable sentiments, being regarded as ignoble, have been re pressed, put out of mind, buried in the limbo of the unconscious. "But these hostile, aggressive im pulses, although no longer conscious, have ceased to strive for satisfaction. The result Is a compromise. The object of these uncharitable senti ments is not attacked openly the individual's conscience will not per mit this. "Instead, at Christmas time or at a birthday or a wedding, a gift is chosen, which, while superficially the expression of very noble senti ments, contrives at the same time to attack, injure or frustrate the recipient." However, Dr. McMurry said, no one should get peeved about such gifts because actually the giver is not conscious of the motivating sub conscious Impulses and neither is the recipient. FDR Planning Higher Taxes Washington, Dec. 21 (U.R) Presi dent Roosevelt was represented to day to be considering a request that congress increase selected income, estate, and manufacturer's excise taxes next year to provide $500,- 000,000 for emergency national de fense measures. Mr. Roosevelt told his press con ference this week that he would present again to congress when it meets Jan. 3 his claim for $550,000, 000 of new tax revenue to compen sate the treasury for farm subsi dies paid out in the past two years. The combined tax increase to be proposed therefore would aggregate $1,050,000,000, if plans now said to be under consideration were adopted. It was understood that Mr, Roose velt would not suggest specific rates to be imposed to pay the farm sub sidy bill. But the United Press was Informed there was consideration of a specific program to raise $500,000,000 for na tional defense: 1. An increase of middle bracket estate tax rates. 2. An increase In middle bracket personal income tax rates. 3. An increase in selected manu facturers' excise taxes. Corporation income taxes would remain as they were fixed at the last session of congress.
