G. 0. P. SPLITS ON CONGRESS SESSjON CALL Coolidge and Admirers Far Apart on Issue; Hoover Favors Action. By PAUL R. MALLON \United Press Staff Correspondent RAPID CITY, S. D., July 22. Differences have arisen between President Coolidge and some of his closest Republican advisers over whether there should be an extra session of Congress about Oct. 15 for enacting flood relief legislation. The affair started in Washington, when Chairman Smoot of the Senate Finance Committee announced, after conferring with the President, that President Coolidge would summon Congress at that date. A few hours later President Coolidge denied he had made up his mind on the subject. Now Secretary of • Commerce Hoover and Representative John Q. Tilson, Republican floor leader in the House, have been drawn into the argument. Hoover favors the extra session and Tilson strongly opposes it. Both urged their opinions to the President during their recent visits here. Smoot Wants Session Smoot, who visited the President Thursday, told the United Press he feared the outcome of important legislation unless /an extra session is called. His taxation reduction program and special Senatorial election contests will be thrown before Congress in a deadlock on the opening day and this may jeopardize flood control measures which yet have not been framed. “In the first place,” Smoot said, “Congress in the closing hours of the last session failed to enact a $20,000,000 defiiciency appropriation bill and it must be passed in the first order of business. ‘With the presidential election coming on next year, House and Senate members will be eager to get away from Washington as early as possible for the conventions and I am convinced Congress should be started at.least a month earlier this fall.” Gives Tax Cut Program Smoot laid down a complete $300,000,000 tax reduction program which he will submit to his finance committee when it meets with the House Ways and Means Committee to plan the new tax bill. The Smoot plan includes: Reduction of $150,000,000 in corporations taxe from 13% to 12 per cent. Elimination of $37,000,000 taxes on theater admissions and club dues. Reduction in passenger automobile taxes of $50,000,000 by cutting the present 3 per cent rate to 1% per cent. General scaled reduction on income taxes between $15,000 and $60,000 a year. Smoot expects to get the bill through before March 15, to affect payments on this year’s taxes, POLICEMAN PILOT TO TRY PARACHUTE STUNT Air Circus Planned for Cops’ and Firemen’s Field Day. Anew type of parachute jump is planned by Sergeant Earl Halstead, policeman-pilot, as an attraction at the Police and Firemen’s Field Day, July 30, at Broad Ripple. Proceeds go to the pension fund.

Army air service were invited to participate in the air circus by Halstead. Aerial acrobatics will be a feature attraction. Lieutenant Eugene Batton, William N. Amis and George Tourtellot were asked to participate in ' the flying circus, which will be in charge of Captain Weir Cook, instruction officer assigned to the 113th observation squadron.

Here is the letter which won first prize in ‘T’he Penny Princess” contest of The Times. It wins for Eva F. Wilson, 810% Virginia Ave., employe of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company, a trip to Grand Mich.,, and a week’s stay at the Golf moor Hotel, one of the finest on the Great Lakes, at expense of The Times. The letter: “ ‘l’ll spend my, last dime to become beautiful and win the husband I want,’ ’’ said Vee "Vee Cameron, the “plain frump” business girl. And she did. And she won him. “And what girl of 1927 would not do likewise? What modern miss would not lay aside the pencil for the lipstick, shear her ‘crowning glory,’ gird herself with a box of rouge and fare forth to win the battle that has been waging since the Garden of Eden? “The girl of today is clever and wise enough to know that no career can hold the joy and thrill of a baby in her arms. She goes after the thing she wants and gets it, even though, like the ‘Penny Princess,’ she gambles her last dime. If there were no inducements like loving and being loved, a home and all it means, what woman could resist, casting a pitying glance at some poor unmarried maiden and murmuring, ‘My dear, you can’t possibly know how aggravating a man can be until you have married one!’” Second prize, $lO, went to Miss Louise W. Faulkner, 3449 Salem St., a Shortridge High SchooLpupil; third, $5, to Miss Edna M. Wilson, Shelbyville; fourth, $3, to MiSs Hilda Low Carroll, 2420 N. Meridian St., and fifth, $2, to Miss Buddie Bell, 2510 N. Delaware St. Their letters also will be published. Prize winners were selected by Miss Ann Johnston, literary editor of the Bobbs-Merrill Company.
