PREDICT NEW DEMOCRACY IS | FACING U. S. Modified Form Is Necessary to Survive, Says Hoover Social Probe Group. ‘REVOLT NOT UNLIKELY' Government to Extend Grip on Business, Forecast of Committee. BY RUTH FINNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—ls democracy survives the present period •of severe social stress, it will survive in a modified form dominated >by Afferent attitudes toward property and toward human beings. This is the conclusion of Presi*dent Hoover's research committee •on social trends made public today : aft,er four years’ study of the whole isweep of modern life in the twentieth century. The committee’s survey of fundamental dangers and problems in •nur economic, political and social development leads it to conclude that there is no assurance that violent revolution, "dark periods of f. crious repression of libertarian and democratic forms,” can be averted ‘ unless there can be a more imJpressive integration of social skills and fusing of social purposes than is revealed by recent trends.” But, it adds, "in considering the movement of American democracy and its collective competence, it ’is important not to lose sight of specific and. basic tendencies revealed in this report and bearing directly on the future of our institutions. Stress Large Scale Work i “One of these is the habituation lof the American people to large jscale organization and” planning in iindustry, keenly appreciated by the Soviets; another is the American ♦tendency to make relativel prompt -use of the latest fashions in science and technology; the lack of sharply defined and permanent classes or castes obstructing either economic or governmental change, and finally, it he wide prevalence of democratic iattitudes and practices in social Jlife.” The committee adds; “An interpretation which seems to have a imargin of advantage is that of Ihe iprospeot of a continuance rtf the {democratic regime, with higher fstandards of achievement, with a imore highly unified and stronger (government, with sounder types of ccivic training, with a broader social •program, and a sharper edged purpose to diffuse more promptly and :more widely the gains of our civilisation, with control over social and economic forces better adapted to tthe special social tensions of the t.ime, with less lag between social clhanges and governmental adaptation and with more prevision and contriving spirit.” Government in Industry Specifically the committee foresees a strong -possibility that the government will undertake extensive economic, planning, giving scientists aind technologists a much larger jpart than ever before in its work, tihat it will greatly extend its conttrol over industry of all kinds, and (Turn to Page Nine)

New York Racket King Slain in Own Night Club by Doorman

By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—Police sought an obscure night club doorman today as the slayer of Larry Fay, notorious racketeer and New York’s public enemy No. 3, shot down in his own night club during an argument over a few dollars in wages. Fay's death had not been ordered by rival racketeers, police learned, but resulted with delicate irony from his so-called humanitarian desire to relieve the depression by forcing his employes to “share the work.” Until last week, Edward Maloney was both day and night doorman and received SIOO a week. Fay shortened his hours, reduced his pay, and hired another doorman to share the work. Sunday night Maloney arrived at the night club. Witnesses said he was intoxicated. He found Fay in the ornate foyer. Police said Maloney fired five shots, four of which found their target. Maloney then fled along with some 100 guests, who stampeded through the foyer, over Fay’s body, into the street.

Technocracy Stimulating Doctrine, Says Couzcns

BY THOMAS 1.. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent iCoDvriehf. 1933. bv United Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. Technocracy, the machine age, is viewed by the richest United States senator, James Couzens ißep., Mich.), as a stimulating doctrine that should stir up the American people to do something about their economic plight. The multimillionaire senator sees in the new energy approach to the problems of the macnlne age some valuable suggestions which may lead to solutions. The technocrats are due particular thanks, he thinks, for their emphasis on our “stupid policy" of credits which produced the “financial drunk" for which the nation now suffers. i They are due thanks for their

Fay always claimed he was a “business man.” He maintained a suite of offices in a Broadway building, and had secretaries, stenographers and assistants by the dozen. He got his start in the taxicab business and in 1929 owned a large fleet. In 1929 he and several dozen of his assistants were indicted on a charge of having obtained a monopoly on the city’s milk business. He was charged with collecting SBOO,OOO a year from small milk dealers through force and coercion. He and his assistants were not convicted. Later, he went into the night club racket, and for a while owned the night clubs where Texas Guinan performed. He tried his hand at show' production. Friends said he had last heavily during the depression, and was “almost broke.” Police found only three dimes on his body. The newest night club, they said. was financed by other Broadway characters, and Fay was given a share of the profits for the use of his name which was believed alluring to diversion seekers.

emphasis on the necessity of action to repair a machine that has produced millions of unemployed, he said. “If the technocrats do no more than start people to thinking they will perform a great service. It's just too bad to have some elements starting a campaign of ridicule." he stated. “We all hope the discovery of chemists and technologists will go still further and make work. But none of those plans I’ve read take the time element into consideration. “What consolation is it to millions of workers who have had no regular employment for the last four or five years to be told that some time in the future technologists will find new things in the production of which people may be employed?'*

GARNISHEE ACT CRUSHES MANY POOR DEBTORS Court Cost Piled on Small Original Credit Sum Is Appalling Load. HANDICAP FOR SHERIFF Collection Work Reaches Nuisance Proportions; Scores Lose Jobs. (Hardships forced upon victims of earnishee suits are told in this story, the first of a series on the law, passed by the 1925 legislature. Although intended originally for eollection of first debts, the law now is being used to force collection of small debts that arc increased greatly by court costs.) BY JAMES A. CARVIN Few persons w'ould obligate themselves to payment of a $3 account if they knew that it w'as possible, before final settlement, for the cost to increase to $15.25. Neither would they knowingly assume a $3.90 obligation, for final settlement of w'hich $20.15 w'ould be demanded. Yet, in Indianapolis, such circumstances are occurring and the entire story is written in the records of the office of Charles L. Sumner, Marion county sheriff. At the present time there are approximately 1,000 cases in the county in which creditors have made use of the state garnishee law to secure payment of accounts. Each pay day 10 per cent of the salaries or wages of the debtors is deducted by employers and paid to the sheriff’s office. Sometimes Below Dollar Many times the payment is less than a dollar, because the law permits not more than a 10 per cent deduction and the shrunken pay envelope can yield no more to the legal reckoning. True indeed, is the old saying that the wheels of justice turn slowly, but in the case of the garnishee law the cost of turning the w'heels is expensive—to the debtor. The answer to the appalling final total, which confronts the debtor of a small account is found in court costs and fees w'hich may sw'ell the account to six times its original size. For example, suppose that Mary Smith,' a youthful stendgra phPr, wants anew hat. Her salary is sls a week, on which she supports her mother and younger brother. Falls for Sales Talk Maybe she shouldn’t buy the hat, but it looks W'ell on her and the saleswoman “knows her stuff.” “Now', my dear, if you want the hat take it,” the saleswoman purrs. "We shall be glad to charge it and you can pay for it later.” Mary buys the hat. Between then and the time the bill comes due, she (Turn to Page Seven)

Congress Is Confused on Solution of Tax Problem

BY MARSHALL M'NEIL Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.—Confusion like that which befuddled the last session of congress after it r'ared up and licked the sales tax marks the situation now as the house ways and means committee prepares to start its study of federal fiscal policies. Its hearings start the week. The sales tax was proposed again to the “horror" of President-Elect Roosevelt. That killed it; and as the result there is not the least unanimity of opinion on whether there should be new taxes and, if so, what sort. Some order may result from the impending conference between Speaker Gamer and Mr. Roosevelt; but. meanwhile, every sort of tax under the sun—except the general sales tax—is being seriously discussed by one bloc and another. There is that group, for instance,

Philippines Split Threat Is Seen in Liberty Bill

Leaders of Islands Ranging Up on Opposing Sides; Cry for Immediate Freedom Is Rising. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Jan. 2—The Philippine independence bill, now on President Hoover’s desk for approval or veto upon his return from Florida, now threatens to split the islands politically from end to end. Unless the President vetoes the measure, the next step will be to submit it to the Philippine legislature for ratification. Then the battle will begin with the islands’ big moguls ranged up on oppasing sides.

WATSON DENIES HE WILL RAGE ROBINSON ‘Lame Duck’ Senator Will Not Ask Nomination, Senator James E. Watson today had scoffed the report that he will oppose Senator Arthur R. Robinson for the senate seat two years from now. Watson was to return to Washington. Interviewed at the Columbia Club the senior Indiana senator and Republican floor leader, now a '’lame duck,” declared: “I absolutely will not seek the nomination.” Watson was defeated in the fall election by his Democratic opponent, Senator-Elect Frederick Van Nuys. Watson said he will retire to a law practice in Indiana, but had not decided on the city where his offices will be opened. Business and not politics brought him to Indianapolis during the holidays, he said. He conferred with Harry C. Fenton, secretary of the state Republican committee, and J. T. Moorman, Winchester, prominent G. O. P. politician. Watson refused to discuss the projected ouster of Ivan C. Morgan, who was handpicked by Watson for the state chairmanship. RESTAURANT OWNER STABBED: PROBE TALE Held at City Hospital on Vagrancy Count as Story Is Investigated. A deep stab wound beneath his heart, John Edward Hasty, 50, of 2228 West Michigan street, is held at city hospital on vagrancy charge while police investigate his story of a mysterious stabbing. Hasty, operator of a restaurant at the Michigan street address, told police he had gone downtown at noon Sunday, and when he returned to the restaurant, two men were waiting for him and followed him inside. One, according to Hasty, declared; “We've got you now. and we’re going to kill you.” The second man, Hasty said, seized a butcher knife from a table nearby and plunger it into his chest. The city hospital physicians say Hasty’s condition is serious.

that wants to rejigger the income tax system by broadening the base either by reducing the exemptions or increasing the rates, especially in the middle brackets. There is the group that w'ants to tax corporation surpluses. Some variation of this general idea is reported unofficially to be under study by Mr. Roosevelt's economic advisers. Then, there is the group that wants an extension of the nuisance taxes —an extension, incidentally, which would approximate a general sales tax. Still other members of congress would levy taxes on patents, and on corporations that do business in interstate commerce. Senator James Couzens fßep., Mich.), is still intent on levying an income tax approximately equal to Great Britain's. Finally, there is the large group that wants to levy no new taxes at all except those on beer, hoping to bring balance to the federal budget by drastic economies.

CHINESE BATTLE JAPANESE FOR GATEWAY CITY Heavy Fighting Reported Along Border Between Manchuria and China Proper; Nipponese Officer and Men Slain. TOKIO RUSHES PLANES TO SCENE Marshal Chang Concentrates Six Brigades Along Frontier, Fearing General Invasion of Jehol Province. I By L nitcd Press TOKIO, Jan. 2.—General fighting between Chinese and Japanese troops developed today at Shanhaikwan, a border city between Manchuria and China proper, after a Japanese lieutenant and three Japanese soldiers were reported killed. Japanese headquarters at Tientsin confirmed the report of heavy fighting near Shanhaikwan.

President Manuel Quezon of the Philippine senate, is bitterly hostile to accepting independence upon the conditions named. That he may have a majority of the legislators behind him is indicated by the fact that he received their approval when he cabled the independence mission at Wa.shington to “give us immediate independence or nothing.” Stormy Debate in Islands On the other hand, Filipino Resident Commissioners Guevara and Osias, and the independence delegates, Manuel Roxas and Sergio Osmena. now in the capital, likewise are ace high in political councils ol the Philippines. Roxas is Speaker of the lower house and Osmena has shared leadership in the senate with President Quezon for more than a decade. They favor the bill. Led by Senator Quezon, the Philippines legislature, sitting as an independence commission, already has engaged in stormy debate over the issue. Apparently, that body somewhat favors the senator. Upon his insistence, a resolution of nonconfidence in the Filipino mission to Washington was voted. Forces Evenly Divided If President Hoover approves the act and it goes before the insular legislature for final approval or rejection, Commissioners Guevara and Osias and Messrs. Osmena and Roxas will defend it against President Quezon and others opposing. So evenly divided appear the forces pro and con, that anything can happen. Sentiment, in the Philippines is reported practically 100 per cent in favor of immediate independence. The bill now lying on President Hoover’s desk proposes it for ten years after the legislature of the islands ratifies it. This delay, according to a cable received by the mission here, is the principal feature found irksome.

Japanese air corps forces at Mukden had been dispatched to the scene, it was announced. The Chinese, the report said, had dynamited a railroad bridge three kilometers west of Shanhaikwan. The Japanese occupied the main gate of the ancient walled city, which is the gateway into China. Shortly thereafter there was heavy hand-to-hand street fighting, the reports said.
