[ cause of this that America today 1 I is probably going through its third crisis. I "First, of course, was the period that brought on the American ' revolution and gave us the const!- | tutlon. Second was the civil war ' The third Is the present time. “A vast insanity Is carrying mankind not forward but backward to the very conditions and abuse i | of power from which our forefath- 1 ' ers once crossed the Atlantic to i escape. It may be that the last struggle to save constitutional government will take place here in our' own dear land. “If It is abandoned here, it may well be that the world will go through scores, if not hundreds, of bloody years before the citizen may be anything again but the i pawns of the modern Caesars.” One-man rule is obtaining power i I “in the name of security." Petten-' I gill asserted, but he added that actually citizens are giving up their liberty for insecurity. Earlier Pettengill came out- openly in favor of the renomination of U. S. Sen. Frederick Van Nuys! by the July Democratic convention. I Van Nuys has been read out of the I Democratic party by Gov. M. Clif-1 ford Townsend, currently is in high disfavor with the statehouse and , has announced that he will run as 1 an independent in the fall election. Pettengill indicated that he! would campaign for Van Nuys if|

The congressman deplored that | 935.000 Democratic voters awaited the whims of two or three Democratic politicians before knowing who the party's senatorial nom- j inee would be. o 100 PERSONS ARE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) of workers at 5 A. M. CST. General Marx, awaiting any possible mobilization call, said troops could be moved into Akron within eight hours. Gov. Martin L. Davey, who used guardsmen to preserve order in the “little steel" strike last summer, decided to await developments after receiving a request for troops. United rubber workers meanwhile threatened a general strike. Hundreds of persons wer? gassed in a three-hour battle before the Goodyear gates. Estimates of those injured by night sticks or etones ran as high as 200. Police said that many who were beaten or gassed during the seige probably feared police detention if they reported their injuries. City and company police stood by ' today with sub-machine guns and riot guns, capable of inflicting death or serious injury. The general strike threat came from a “strike strategy committee” of the United Rubber workers. The group said that it might attempt to call a general walk-out in this city of 255.000 “if the situation is not eased by Goodyear.” Company officials said that plant number one was operating normally after entry of the morning shift,' with 1.500 workers in their places. The company checked and counted each worker as he entered. Some of the number had remained in the plant during the night. Plants two and three also were kept open, hut it was understood that the company expected to concentrate in operating plant number one with a normal force. Thomas F. Burns, international vice-president of the U. R. W., sent telegrams today to President Roosevelt. John L. Lewis and secretary of labor Frances Perkins protesting “last night's violence.” He sent ■ one also to Yale Oliver, executive vice-president of labor's non-parti-san league. The strike strategy committee ordered all members not working to reinforce picket lines along the onehalf mile front of the company. As the general strike threatened, representatives of the workers’ alliance went to committee for industrial organization officials and offered to close down all W. P. A. I projects in Akron. The U.

; laws but he reiterated the administration’s determination not to allow use of corporate forms to avoid what it considers legitimate tax burdens. “We are delighted,” he said, “to remove any existing barriers against every little business in the nation which is seeking to set itself squarely on its own feet; seeking to pay off its debts, and seeking to make a reasonable profit; but the administration does not want large closely held corporations making large profits to be used as a vehicle by the small ■ number of their owners in order i i to avoid legitimate income taxes. “For a number of years, it has . been recognized that this progres-' sive taxation of wealth realistically I should apply not only to salaries 1 and dividends and bond coupons I but also to other forms of wealth j such as increases in one's capital j by selling any form of property at . a profit. “This new bill wholly eliminates' the progressive tax principle with i respect to these capital profits: I it takes small capital profits, and | large capital profits at exactly the same rate. "In other words, if you or I sell i stocks which we have held for a ■ few years at a profit of. let us say.| $5,000. we have to pay a to* of | 15 per cent on that profit; whereas : the man who has made a profit of | $500,000 on stocks he has owned is required, under this new bill, to ' pay a tax of only 15 per cent, just as you and I would. “Nobody, by any stretch of the imagination, can say that this new provision maintains the principle , of payments in proportion to abil- ! ity to pay.” Mr. Roosevelt made plain that he hoped for a future revision of the revenue laws in line with the objectives he seeks. Such revision, he said, should be designed to enj courage new investment and the i entry of private capital into new fields. As an example of the fields in which he believes private capital might well enter, he cited the government's own Arthurdale project which he visaed today for the first time. This project, entirely financed by government funds, provides a community and subsistence farms ■ for West Virginia coal miners who were stranded without vocation by the closing of nearby bituminous . mines. "The abandonment of the princi- • pie of progressive tax payments in , accordance with capacity to pay . may encourage a small amount of capital to go into new productive enterprises,” he said, “but chiefly, , i it will help those who make large profits in buying and selling exist- . Ing stocks."

FRENCH BORDER TOWN BOMBED Town On French-Spanish Frontier Bombed Thursday Night Perpignan. French Spanish Frontier, .May 27. <U.R> Mayor Julien Cruzel of Cerbere telegraphed Premier Edouard Daladler today demanding Increased protection protection against raids by "italoGerman airplanes" as the result of a severe bombing attack on the French border town. Townspeople seemed to have no doubt that two seaplanes which raided Cerbere last night belonged to the Spanish nationalists. Fifteen bombs were dropped near the railroad station. Two persons, one a Frenchman, were reported wounded and tliree houses were damaged. Several railroad coaches were smashed. It was asserted that there was ! reason to believe that the bombs might have been of Italian inanu- ‘ facture, but this was not confirmi ed. Panic spread through Cerbere as , the bombs dropped into the town during a fiesta in which 400 danc- • ers were celebrating in the market square. The dancers and others - fled in terror to the railroad tun- | nels and most of the people spent the night there. The bombing took place at 9:30 last night. The Spanish town of Portbou. across the frontier, is al- ? j ways “blacked out” at night in fear s of bombardment of the important France-Spain railroad, a life line | for supplies. Cerbere, however, is brightly lighted. The drone of airplane motors was heard over Cerbere and the searchlights of the Strong antij! aircraft defense force were turned into the night sky. One of the s raiding planes was caught fairly I in the searchlight beams. s There was some belief that the - pilot of this plane became fright- ■ ened and dropped his bombs. Also, f witnesses reported that they saw ■ a plane flying slowly near the mountain behind Cerbere rtiilroad i statio. and that it might have dropi ped its bombs in fear of a crash. -1 However, the planes remained in t the vicinity of the town for 15 i-' minutes, and continued cruising ■ i along the coast until 11 o'clock. Terror of the people was in- '• creased because one plane dropped II j magnesium flares, which burned ’ ' for art hour near the suburban >• vineyards. o Dance Sunday. Sun Set.
