The bureau hopes, by doubling the intangibles tax, the levies of real estate would be decreased, and thus lessen the burden on Indiana farmers. Taylor also proposed a 100 per cent increase in the gross income tax. Other recommendations for legislation made by the committee at its previous sessions included: 1. Taxing all Barret law bonds. 2. Giving legislators more leeway in enactment of tax laws. 3. Extending the moratorium on public sales of land for collection of delinquent taxes until January 1. 1938. 4. Exempting personal property and endowment funds, the proceeds of which are used for charitable, religious and educational purposes. 5. Lifting exemptions on property owned by Greek letter organizations. 6. Lifting exemptions on cemetery real estate, except those operating on a non-protit basis.

Congress is but a day away from the gavel taps which will open an historic session, but the White House has succeeded so far in concealing the legislative recommendations upon which it will be asked to act.

There were tears in Anna Schoeffler Hauptmann's ayes when she left the jail. There were none in Hauptmann's. The frantic preparations for the trial which have made Flemington an uproarious boom town, were replaced by an atmosphere of

strange calm in the courthouse: 1 although the street outside boiled , with people and excitement. Only 11 the cluttering of a hundred telegraph instruments, which are to . 1 pour a million words a day into world news channels showed the I importance of the ease. To Thomas W. Trenchard, an i old-school jurist who presides us - supreme court Justice, this m just another trial. He will not permit ' it to become a circus. His voice ' is gentle and his manner Is that of a country gentleman. He can be stern, even vigorous. In his ' pronouncements but his admoni-' ‘ tions are made in scholarly terms as a schoolmaster might remonstrate with unruly puplis. Not Hauptmann's New York, Jan. 2— (U.R) —The j finger prints of Bruno Hauptmann ■were not among those found on < the ladder used in the kidnaping 1 of the Lindbergh baby. Dr. E.

by chemical means after New Jersey state police had failed by the powder method, said: “It is my definite understanding that Hauptmann's fingerprints were not on the ladder." The criminologist used a solution which raises the impressions made by secretions -from the sweat glands even many months after the stain is made. Asked whether the kidnaper could have concealed his fingerprints by gloves, Dr. Hudson said: *'l think it highly improbable that he, if he built the ladder os alleged, would have worn gloves during the entire six months that the rickety contrivance was supposed to have been in his possession.’’ o Seattle (U.R) — A "two-in-one egg was the product of a white Leghorn hen owned by Mrs. E.
