TREASURY CHIEF ASKS PASSAGE OF SALES TAX Revenue Bill to Fall Far Short of Budget Need, Senate Told. * Cotmlsht 1032. bv United Pre**> WASHINGTON, May 31.—Treasury Secretary Ogden L. Mills today presented to the senate finance committee a revised estimate indicating that the new bill would by $285,000 000 to raise sufficient revenue to balance the budget, He recommended adoption of the Walsh sales tax amendment to make up the deficiency. Mills* statement, given to the committee in executive committee before the senate adopted the Connally amendment for increased taxes follows: “Events during the last two months, and more particularly the la.-t few weeks, necessitate taking lftto account a changed situation as affecting the estimates of old and new revenue made by the treasury department in February. Contraction Marked “The estimates were predicated on a prompt enactment of a revenue bill furnishing a basis for. first, a stabilization of economic conditions, apd then a gradual rise. • Instead, there has been a marked contraction of economic activity, and a further fall in commodity and security prices, so that not only has thte date of recovery been postponed, but recovery starts from a lower level. This is bound to have an adverse effect on prospective revenues.

“The treasury recommended in February $1,125,000,080 in new taxes. That is the amount needed today. “The bill now before the senate, even w'ith the finance committee items still to be voted on. will bring in but $840,000,000. as compared with the 5965.000.000 estimated under the old figures. Eager for Action “Thus, there is a shortage of revenue between the amount originally estimated by the treasury as necessary, and the yield of the bill, as it now stands, of $285,000,000. • The difference is due to a reduction by the congress in new faxes amounting to $160.000.000 —of which about $100,000,000 was agreed to by the treasury in its agearness for prompt action—and $125,000,000 is accounted for by changed conditions. "““In other words, assuming that the expenditure figures are reduced below those submitted in the budget message by not less than $350,000.000, $285,000,000 of additional revenue is needed today to balance the budget. “In order to bridge this gap. I unqualifiedly recommend turning to the manufacturers’ excise tax along the line of Senator Walsh’s pending amendment. “While the treasury department hitherto has refrained Irom commending this tax. 1 had occasion to Ki'c it close study during its con- : sideration by the ways and means committee, and I unhesitatingly Indorse it today as the most effective j means of balancing the budget and giving assurance of yielding the needed revenue. “I further recommend the adoption of the so-called Connally income tax amendment, which means a return to the 1922 income tax

... then he realized what jfletcher fc! convenience i really meant Kfrs. A. phoned her husband—from down on the South Side: "John Mother is ill seriously. The next train leaves in thirty minutes. I will just have time to make it by driving fast. Meet me at Union Station —with $200." Mr. A. promised —then did some fast thinking. He had S2O in his pocket far less than even the tram fare his wife needed. And he banked on the South Side. He didn't have time to drive out there for money. Where suld he get a big check cashed in a hurry? Suddenly he remembered: Depositors of any Fletcher Trust bank can make withdranals at the Mam Office downtown.” And the Main Office was just a step from his office. He could get the money—meet his wife—and have time to spare. A month later, after her return, they were talking things over. "Until that afternoon,” he said, "I never really realized what Fletcher Trust convenience ould mean.” ffkttta Snot Jk ®w iil| MAIN OFFICE *sl Northwest Corner Pennsylvania and Market Streets [jx!'' it i H K NORTH SIDE BRANCHfc.s WEST SIDE BRANCHES EAST SIDE BRANCHES ' i 1541 North Illinois Street 474 West Washington Street 2122 East Tenth Street •H;.• ' -.‘M* f f C; 3. 3001 North Illinois Street 1233 Oliver Avenue 458 East Washington Street j;j . j I'• t*'-'*l fi' * 1533 Roosevelt Avenue 2600 West Michigan Street 2506 East Washington Street ,j J;. -* 1 . 6235 Bellefonuin* Street 5501 East Washington Street . • 1 * ■ SOUTH SIDE BRANCH ?! 1125 South Meridian Street AJR j k’bfW - - -

I deem to be the wise course, I suggest as a possible alternate program: “1. The Connally amendment, yielding approximately $70,000,000. '2. A gasolue tax of 1 cent, yielding 5150.003.000. “3. Restoration of the exemption on admissions to 10 cents, which will yield $5,000,000 more than now is provided for. "This program will yield a total of $275,000,000.’’’ Choral Director Is Dead lift I Hit>>l I’ri * FT. WAYNE. Ind., May 31.

LONDON BISHOP ! PRAISES RECTOR 'FOR HIS NERVE' Says Davidson’s Plea for Aid Made Him a Nuisance. By Vnited Pratt LONDON, May 31—The bishop of London, the Right Honorable and Right Rev. Arthur Foley Winning- j tcn-Ingram, admitted today he was ; forced to “admire the nerve of the ] Rev. Harold Davidson, rector of Stiffkey, on trial on charges of im- j morality. The bishop was an unexpeted witness at the rector's trial. Wearing a purple cassock, he testified that he had known the rector for thirty years, since the undergraduate days, when they spoke from the same platform at Oxford, but that he had not seen the rector frequently in recent years. Frequent Appeals for Aid The bishop said the rector formerly made frequent appeals for financial aid. “Doubtless you found him a nuisance,’’ said the rector’s counsel, R. F. Levy. “Yes, a great nuisance," the bishop replied. Asked for his opinion of the rector's moral reputation, the bishop replied, "I .never heard a word against him until this case. I consider the rector audacious, but must admit I am forced to admire his nerve." “Mrs. D.," mother of a gi r T of 16, j who was photographed nude with the rector, exhibited in court today the bathing suit her daughter was supposed to have worn when the picture was taken, but didn’t. It was of salmon pink and black with a white girdle. i The picture, she said, was taken ; for advertising purposes and “was going to be sent by airmail to America.” Keclor's Daughter Testifies She said she entirely trusted the rector, and the photographers had promised not to picture her daughter nude, but “it was a disgusting trap well worked out, right from the beginning." The rectors daughter, Patricia. 21, testified that her mother has been deaf and mute from a nervous complaint since 1930, and suffered heart attacks because of the notoriety of the present case.
