CHerry Blossoms Bloom on the Banks

WASHINGTON. D. C. - This city s annual springtime extravaganza, the blooming o( the famous Japanese cherry trees, is fully under way, ten days ahead of schedule. The unusual rise in temperature gave the city and its visitors an advance view of the blossoms which burst into bloom on March 22nd. long before the date set by experts. The Sirayuki opened their petals Tuesday, traditionally welcoming the arrival of Spring. These first blooms, white with red calyx, are known as snowflakes to the people of Japan. The "hadj" of honeymooners. tourists and habitual devotees of the annual cherry festival will be well under way as the second blooming occurs. •This will be signalized by | the bursting of the double rose-col-ored blossoms, the Fukurokuju. a flower symbolic of happiness. As these flowers lend their vivid tints to the river scene, the earlier blos-

trated their search for wounded suspects after an investigation revealed two bullets had been fired from Collar's gun and two trails of blood leading from the building. Other clews in the hands of police include a small caliber bullet found ■ embedded in a door near the body, the broken handle of a broom which Collar held and a small caliber revolver. A robbery motive was dlscon- ■ tinued by investigators since company officials reported there was nothing missing front the plant. Collar was the second night watchman murdered at the plant within two years. In 1936. Frank I Smith, another watchman, was I mysteriously shot and died of his I wounds. o CHANGE LAW ON 1 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) districts, they are elected at large, meaning that each resident voter of Decatur can vote for any five of the candidates. 0 i Seek School Hus Lost In Blizzard Calgary, Alia., March 30—(UP) Rescue parties today searched for a ■ .school bus lost in a blizzard of the ; Parkland.

soms disintegrate in Spring breezes and shower the Potomac in a snowfall of white petals. The Japanese cherry trees were presented to the American people by the citizens of Japan as a symbol of Japan's deep-rooted friendship for the United States. They were the gift of Mayor Ozaki of Tokyo, who sent them to President William Howard Taft in 1912. Mrs. Taft planted the first tree in Potomac Park near the statue of John Paul Jones. Viscountess Chinda. wife of the Japanese ambassador of that day, spaded the earth for the planting of the second tree. The cherry blossom is Japan's national flower and is held in deep reverence by the people of the insular nation. In the parks of Tokyo alone there are more than 50,000 cherry tree*.

[ the house would reach a final vote. Under the arrangement general debule would be exhausted tomortow and reading for amendments would begin Friday. House leaders plan to hold a session Saturday if necessary to complete action this week. Cochran pointed out that the house already had passed two of the reorganization measures —a general hill, 283 to 70, and a hill to give President Roosevelt six executive assistants, without record vote hut with virtually no opposition. He said presumably the debate cculd be concentrated on the two new bills affecting the comptroller general's office aud civil service." GROSS INCOME TAX IS ARGUED Indiana's Gross Income Tax Law Up To U. S. Supreme Court Washington, March 30 — (U.R) The supreme court will hear the argument of tax officials today to extend a state government's taxing power, already broadened by four supreme court decisions this year. The latest litigation involves the constitutionality of Indiana's 1933 gross Income tax law. The state * seeks (o collect levies on all income Including that derived by Indiana | firms from sales made outside the state and Income derived from interest of tax exempt municipal [ obligations. The J. D. Adams Manufacturing i company, Indianapolis, charges , that the law is unconstitutional — that it constitutes p dirertijjmrden on interstate commerce and violates the state's contractual obligation not to tax municipal securi- [ ties. State officials contend that a statute enacted before income taxes were considered exempts only the principal of municipal obligations from taxation, and does not have any effect on levies against interest on bonds. The ease will be watched with 1 great interest by federal and state | tax experts who long have sought i to find a method of taxing so-called ! ‘ tax exempt” obligations. In four previous tax rulings since October, the court: 1. Upheld the application of | lowa’s “personal net income lax” I of 1934 to income from municipal
