Robinson was arrested in Glendale, Calif., Monday night. The life of the Tennessee fugitive, during the many months when he was the object of a nation-wide manhunt, was told by E. J. Connelley, chief of the Cincinnati office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation after Robin- \son had been grilled for several hours. He \freely admitted\ kidnaping Mrs. Stoll, Conmmelley told reporters, after which, harrled by authorities, he spent most of the ransom money to keep ahead of the chase. He made several trips between Californid and New York, Connelley said, once by plane. The. Department of Justice, praised in Washington by the Senate for wip- ing the slate clean of big-time kid- napers, was asked by State's Attor- ney H. L.

(P-The Senate Finance Committee closed its doors today to I@ar Secretary Mor- genthau reply to criticisms which ap- parently have driven the House Tax bill to the threshhold of revision. As Morgenthau went before the committee for the second time tc de- fend the administration's plan for taxing undistributed corporation profits, there were strong indications that the senators were leaning toward a compromise. . Senator Harrison (D-Miss), chair- men, sought to smooth over the trou- bled waters with &a proposal for im- posing a flat 15 per cent tax on net corporation income with surtaxes ranging from 5 to 45 per cent if more than 30 per cent of earnings were withheld from distribution. Although there was no agreement on these specific rates, committee opinion seemed to be crystalizing around the general idea of imposing ;a surtax on undistributed profits in addition to* a fiat levy on: all cor- porate income. f The committee closed its doors for Morgenthau's testimony cause law prevents publication of in- come tax returns. The tredsury head was submitting to the committee in- formation derived from the returns of big corporations. The committee, on the motion of Senator Byrd (D-Va), had asked for a list of corporations with million dollar incomes last year which would have paid less taxes under the new plan than they did on the present flat levy.

TAL ANS WILL DEFEND GAINS IN ETHIOPIA League Council Defers Action on East African Situation- Mussolini Determined j (Copy't, 1936, The Associated Press) ROME, May 13.-Premier Musso- lini's Popolo D'Italia defied challeng- ers of the new Roman empire today with a warning that \the Italian peo- ple created it with their blood, they will cultivate it with their labor and defend it against anyone with their arms.\ The editorial in Il Duce's news- paper coincided with the return from Geneva of Baron Pompeo Aloisi, who was recalled yesterday as Italy laid before the League of Nations im- plicitly the choice of accepting the Fascist empire or losing Italian membership. Informed sources read in the edi- torial a slightly veiled reference to Great Britain in the words: \The Italian people ask them- selves why the occupation by some powers of civilized and even inde- pendent countries should be consid- ered legitimate while Italy's occupa- tion of territories horribly depopu- lated by barbaric organization and slave trade should be illegitimate.\ The editorial asked, \in the name of what Wilsonian paragraph does an extremist crowd living in the shadow of idle factories on subsidies from far-off empires pretend to deny to Italians not only subsidies of the work of others, but the divine and human right to work and live.\ Premier Mussolini's summons to Baron Pompeo Aloisi to come home was interpreted in informed circlés as a warning that Geneva must recog- nize Italy's conquest of Ethiopia if its delegates are to appear again about the council table. The Italian attitude for the pres- ent was described as one of \hon- participation\ in League activities. ' Authoritative interpreters of T Duce's action in withdrawing his dele- 'council adopted a new resolution of virtual condemnation of Italian ag- gression -in East Africa emphasized the \provisional\ chardcter of the step. \ These sources contended the League still had a chance to redeem itself in Italian eyes by denying a hearing to the Ethiopian delegate, Wolde Matiam, whom Italy regarded now as just one of its \colonial sub- jects.\ 'Since the League council deferred further 'consideration of the Italo- Ethiopian issue until June 15, the question of formal Italian withdrawal was regarded authoritatively as held in abeyance until Geneva made its next move. 'Some Italian sources considered the recall of Baron Aloisi a strategic ges- ture to soften the tone of the coun- cil's latest resolution on the Ethi- opian question. Modified to \recall\ instead of to \reaffirm\ the council's previous judgment that Italy was the aggres- sor in East Africa, the resolution call- ed for further time to consider the situation and held that sanctions 'against Italy should remain in effect. Informed Fascist sources said Bar- on Aloisi and his delegation knew, when they walked out, that the issue would be postponed for a month and their withdrawal had only symbolic significance at present. * With Ethiopia temporarily removed from the Geneva picture, Italy looked elsewhere for recognition of its new empire, proclaimed last Saturday af- ter annexation, of the realm of the self-exiled Emperor Haile Selassie. Italian diplomats abroad received instructions to inform the govern- ments to which they are accredited of the creation of Rome's re-born empire. Official sources said no for- mal messages of recognition have been'received thus far.

DEMOCRATS ARE 3 VOTES SHORT ON FINAL TEST Proposal to Align State with Federal Legislation Beaten for Third Time ALBANY, N. Y., May 13. Gp-After fiery debate that raged for more than two hours, the Republican-dominated Assembly rejected for a third time today Governor Lehman's proposal to align New York state with the Federal Social Security Act. The action came on the third mo- tion of Democratic Minority Leader Irwin Steingut to discharge the eight- point bill from the Rules Committee and bring it onto the floor. The vote was 68 noes as against 73 ayes, three ballots short of the 76 necessary to bring the measure from committee. Previously, the program received unanimous approval of both Demo- crats and Republicans in the Senate. On the final test, however, the oth- er members resisted pressure and the Republican lines held as firm as be- fore and the program went down to defeat. Whether the Democratic-controlled Senate will now adopt the Republi- can-proposed hill to reduce the old age pension limit from 70 to 6§ years -principal provision of the eight- point bill--is problematical. Immediately, the Assembly turned to its heavy calendar which includes the supplemental budget, scores of appropriation measures and bills of local and minor nature. Meantime, the Senate worked frantically with an even heavier cal- endar in the hope of adjourning sometime before midnight. Clocks were stopped at 11 A. M. Eastern Standard Time, in compli- ance with the adjournment resolu- tion previously adopted by both houses. This permits the lawmakers to work as long as required. The social security issue came to the fore for a time in the Assembly, on the first order of business, when Democratic Minority Leader Irwin Steingut moved to discharge from the Rales Committee Governor Lehman's eight-point bill which would align New York state with the Federal So- clal Security Act. It has been twice rejected there despite unanimous Senate approval. 'There followed, for an hour, a quiet but firm argument on the part of the Democrats, gradually swinging into a fiery discussion that brought hot exchanges between Republi¢ans and Democrats. The first clash between party rep» resentatives came when Steingut rose to his feet after Republican Assem- blyman Lloyd J. Babcock of qua said he \would stay here all summer if I can prevent this mon- strosity-commonly called the New Deal-gaining any further foothold in this state.\ \You have let the cat out of the bag,\ Steingut said. ''You are oppos- ing this bill because you don't want the President of the United States to have credit for this kind of legis- lation. \You all voted for a resolution last year memorlalizing Congress to pass social security legislation.\ Republican Assemblyman Laurens M. Hamilton of Rockland County rose abruptly to a point of high personal privilege. \I object to that resolution.\ he said. \The record shows no votes against it,\ Steingut replied, \and what you can say is not correct.\ \In effect the gentleman is calling me & liar,\ shot back Hamilton. \I'm not, you can be mistaken,\ said.
