M'FADDEN 'SITS WELL' AT HOME - % Voters Expected to Rename Critic of President. By Scrlpps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. —From northeastern Pennsylvania President Hoover and his supporters are hearing the news that voters of the Fifteenth congressional district are not likely to discipline Representative Louis T. McFadden because of his severe criticism of the administration’s foreign debt policies. Pennsylvania Republican voters, instead of arising to rebuke McFadden because of his charge that the President “sold out” to the international bankers, are preparing to renominate him, according to reports reaching Washington. McFadden has two opponents. Mrs. Gifford Pinchot, wife of the r Governor, herself a vigorous critic of administration policies, and Fred C. Rickenbacker, who is running as a 100 per cent administration supporter. “But they are not concerning me at all,” McFadden is telling his colleagues. Since his denunciation of the President and the federal reserve board. McFadden has not visited his district to repair his political fences. Indicative, however, of his strength was a radio speech delivered last Saturday night from Scranton. /Although not in his district, Scranton adjoins it and the station’s signals blanket the eight counties he represents in congress. When it was reported he would speak, forty men from throughout the district went to the radio station to assure him that all was well at home.

FIRE DESTROYS PLANES, HANGAR Blaze Wipes Out Building at Chicago Airport. • " By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. s.—Fire virtually destroyed the hangar of the Continental Airways at municipal airport today in a spectacular conflagration that threatened other air terminals. A 3-11 alarm sent out shortly after the fire was discovered brought more than twenty-five fire companies to the scene. Damage was confined to the single hangar, but it was feared most of the planes stored there had been destroyed. Firemen were handicapped by freezing temperatures. Heavy snow choked streets near the airport and delayed equipment. The Continental Airways operate a Chicago-Washington passenger service.

THE INDIANAPOLTS TIMES

TAX BILL TO BE DRAFTED BEHIND CLOSEDJOORS Hearings Convince Framers No Levy Is Popular and Protests Are in Vain. By Scripps-liaward Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. s.—The house ways and means committee will begin work next week on the actual draft of the tax bill which it hopes will help wipe out the $2,000,000,000 treasury deficit by the end of June, 1934. After listening to protests for three weeks, the committee called a halt to open hearings, resigned to the' conclusion that “no tax is a popular tax,” and convinced that “the only way to balance the budget is to balance the budget,” and let the chips fall where they may. Even committee members are unwilling to prophesy • what taxes finally will be written into the bill. Inside the committee, as well as out, blocs have formed opposing levies on automobiles and appliances, radios, gasoline, on electricity and gas bills, telephone and telegraph messages. Opposition to a boost on income tax and inheritance tax schedules has been melting rapidly, but committeemen think it will not be possible to raise more than $400,00,000 by these proposed increases. Proponents of a levy on fuel and light argue that a 5 per cent tax on electricity and gas bills and'* a 1-cent a gallon tax on gasoline will yield in excess of $200,000,000, but powerful opposition has developed to these plans.
