Los Angeles, Cal., April 17.—Al
Capone is seeking his release from
the Terminal Island jail on a writ
of habeas corpus which,- if granted,
would set him free within twenty-
eight days.
Abraham Ttitelbaum, Chicago at-
torney for the former racket king,
argued a petition for the writ before
Federal Judge Harry Hollser in a
secret hearing Friday, the Times
said.
Capone is serving the final year of
an eleven-year sentence for federal
tax evasion. His lawyer argued that
Capone’s sentence of ten years in
prison and one year in jail actually
began Oct. 24, 1931. Cutting ten days
a month from the prison term, and
five days a month from the jail term,
under allowable deductions, Teitel-
baum argued, would free his client
in twenty-eight days.
The government, resisting the mo-
tion, called attention that as soon as
Capone’s sentence was pronounced in
1931, his lawyers began a protract-
ed legal battle for stay of execution.
The fight continued until May 2, 1932,
when the supreme court ruled against
Capone. Two days later, the govern-
ment argued, Capone began to serve
his sentence.
Capone’s sentence normally will ex- .
pire Nov. 19, if he pays the remain-
ing $20,000 of a 350,000 fine. If he
did not have the money he could file
a pauper’s oath and serve an addi-
tional thirty days in jail.
Judge Hollzer has taken the case
under advisement and is scheduled'
to rule later this week.

Waco, April 17.—A thedry that
telephathy is common to identical
twins was advanced when Dr. Iva Cox
Gardner, head of the Baylor Univer-
sity psychology department, announ-
ced the tabulation of certain revela-
tions given by 65 sets of doubles
in tests when they attended the Tex-
as College Twin convention here in
March.
Each of the 80 individuals compris-
ing the 40 sets of identical twins
at the convention answered that they
think the same thoughts as their
twin. Too, all 80 said that flfey and
their twin give the same answers
simultaneously when questioned about
something of which both have knowl-
edge.
This is not true of fratenral (non-
identical) twins, however. Only 15 of
the 25 fraternal sets think the same
thoughts, and only 12 answer sim-
ultaneously. Six sets never think the
same, and eight never answer to-
gether.
Further substantiation of a^com-
mon theory that left-handedneW ap-
pears more often in identical twins
than in fraternal was introduced in
the tabulation.. *
The undersigned Banks will observe

quested to arrange their banking busi-
ness accordingly.

Most of the time last week was con-
sumed with problems relating to the
Social Security program. The House
passed by a good majority a tax bill
which provided for a gross receipts
tax and a substantial increased tax
on natural resources. Under this bill,
the first 345,000,000.00 retail sales
and the first 375,000.00 wholesale re-
ceipts would be exemptfThis bill was
sent over to the Senate where it
may be materially amended. The Sen-
ate has sent to the House of Senate
Joint Resolution No. 12 which pro-
vides for a two per cent retail sales
tax and an increased tax on natural
resources. This measure would have to
be submitted to the people, and if
voted favorably, it would be writ-
ten into the Constitution. This week
the House and the Senate will work on
a compromise between these two
measures. It seems that no one can
tell what the outcome will be, be-
cause the House seems very much
opposed to a sales tax.
The House first voted to put the
local administration of the Old Age
Assistance' in the hands of the Com-
missioners Court, and then decided to
let it remain as it is now. There
will be an amendment offered this
week that'will permit the County
Judge to serve as local administra-
tor, and provision will be made for
the necessary clerical help that he
would need. I know the people would
be better satisfied with more author-
ity given to our local officials, and
I know the expense would be less.
The bill, which I sponsored, that
provided for a burial fund for the
aged was decided unconstitutional by
the Attorney General, and further con-
sideration of it would be useless.
A bill to aid McCulloch County in
funding its road and bridge obli-
gations —was passed through the sen-
ate by Senator Metcalfe and spon-
sored through the house by me last
week.
A Teachers Retirement bill was
reported favorably out of the com-
mittee last week.
We realize that the time is not
long until the Regular Session of
the Legislature will be over, but a
great majority of us members are
still determined to solve as much so
as possible the Social Security prob-
lem.
