FILIPINOS MAY REJECT GIFT OF LIBERTY OFFERED UNDER BILL VETOED BY HOOVER If Senate Follows House in Overriding President’s Action, Bitter Fight Will Rock Islands Over Freedom Terms. £!/ mrnrii .V ncspnprr Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—1f the senate now rides rough-shod over the President’s veto of Philippine independence, as did the house Friday, there will be staged at Manila the battle of the century over whether the people of the islands will accept freedom thus tendered. If the veto is overridden, it still remains for the Philippine legislature to approve the measure, and it is by no means certain it will do so. The Filipinos have twelve months in which to debate the issue, and there is every indication that the debate will be both long and hectic.

The chances at least are fifty-fifty, according to word from Manila, that Uncle Sam's long-deferred gift of freedom will be scorned by the recipients because of the various strings tied to it. Were this to happen, it would be the first time in history that a people refused their independence from another unde r like circumstances. It would be a no small slap in the face and a blow to American prestige abroad. Battle to Rock Islands Foreign critics already charge the provisions of the bill were largely prompted by American self-interest, rather than the high ideals professed by the country when the islands were taken over a third of a century ago. If the independence measure gets past the senate, the battle over acceptance or rejection almost certainly will rock the islands. President Quezon, of the Philippine senate, thus bitterly has opposed it. He wanted it either materially altered or killed in congress. But once it passed, he was quoted as saying he hoped the President would sign it in order to give the Philippine legislature a chance to kill it. Watch Japan's Reactions At the end of the line, of the most distinguished commissions the archipelago ever sent to Washington on an independence mission, has worked ceaselessly for its passage. Speaker Manuel Roxas of the lower house, and Senator Sergio Osmena, one of the most potent political figures in the islands, at the head of that commission, favor acceptance. Senator Quezon, it is understood recently has changed his mind to the extent that he will postpone final judgment until he can study the measure item by item. Meanwhile. Japan’s reactions to the President’s veto message is bwaited with interest. Toints to Grave Danger His blunt references to “grave dangers or foreign invasion and war” if the United States withdraws from its far eastern outpost, naturally bring Japan to mind, though obviously no names were mentioned. The whole paper, in fact, had as its background the dangerous unrest now rampant in the Orient, and there ■was frequent mention of the peril of “encroachments by others,” “the spirit of imperialism’ ’abroad in the world, and the possibility of “exploitation of peoples by other races.”

MRS. BRINK IS 6TH IN TOURNEY Shows Brilliancy in Last Round: Judged One of Two Best. By Times ftprrial ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Jan. 14. —Although she played magnificent bridge Friday, Mrs. L. H.

No Income Tax Exemption for Aid Given to Needy Relatives

TYTASHINGTON, Jan. 14— If you contributed * * SIOO or SI,OOO to your Community Chest, that is a deductible contribution from your income tax, but if you sent SSO every month to your brother who has been without work and another SSO every month to your sister, you can not deduct the amount from your total taxable income. There seems to be no justice in this, but nevertheless it is an official ruling by the bureau of internal revenue, and it comes as sad news to thousands of income taxpayers, who on March 15 will be required to pay a higher rate of income taxation than they have paid any year since the war. Many taxpayers had asked if such contributions were as worthy a charity as donations to the Y. M. C. A. or the church building fund, but the internal revenue bureau ruled otherwise. It said: "The amount contributed by a taxpayers to a needy relative or individual may not be deducted for federal income tax purposes under the heading of contributions, as there is r.o provision in Section 23N at the revenue act of 1932, headed ’charitably

and other contributions,’ for deducting amounts given to individuals. Such contributions are considered gifts and are not deductible." , a a a r T'HE bureau points out that a $2,500 deduction as a "personal exemption” may be made by the head of a family. This reduction formerly was $3,500. There is also allowed an additional S4OO deduction for "dependents” other than husband or wife "if such dependent person is under 18 years of age. or if over 18 and is incapable of self-support because mentally or physically defective.’ Thus the bureau holds as dependents only children under 18 or cripples or tr.e mentally afflicted. No notice whatsoever is taken in the law of the changed economic situation which makes dependent persons who in other years were self-supporting. After citing the law and defining family relationship. the bureau asserts, "It is seen from the foregoing that there is really no new problem raised by reason of financial assistance given in 1932 by individuals to their unemployed relatives.”

CHINESE STRIFE INEVITABLE, IS SOKOLSKY VIEW Lecturer Says There Can Be No Unity of Government in Far Eastern Land. A The trouble in China and Manchuria at the present time could not be avoided any more than a chemical reaction could be avoided when two chemicals are mixed. George E. Sokolskv, American newspaper man, told a Town Hall audience at English's Friday. In tracing the chnages in China, Sokolsky showed that when the second “western civilization w r as forced” upon China, a series ot revolutions occurred-. These revolutions, or changes, in Shina, began in 1830, when she came into contact with a new’ civilization, he said. The first revolution was industrial. The second revolution was Christianity, and this brought a change in “plural marriages” and a social upheaval. Then came the Nationalist revolution, which changed the conception of government and started the breaking up of the government of China until today there are many governments, or governmental provinces, besides a Communistic state governing sixty million peoples and having an army of 300,000. “There can be no unity of government in China, no real pow r er,” he said in naming the different governments in China. “The whole tendency in China is to break up into smaller units,” he declared and traced the influences of Russia, France, Germany, Great Britain and Japan upon the celestial land.

CAN’T 00 IT, DECLARES BATTLER; LAW DOES IT Denver Man, Full of Spirits, Challenges Police Car. By XEA Service DENVER, Jan. 14.—" Say, you guys can’t do that to me.” said Casper MoriaHty as a police car cut him off short when he started to cross the street. Everything would have been all right had the car not stopped and Detective Joseph Duffy gotten out to investigate. But Duffy did get out, just in time to meet the fist which moriarity planted firmly in his stomach. It was a good fight while it lasted, but when Detective V. W. Wingren got out of the car Moriarity had more than he could handle. Moriarity slept off the effects of the fight, and also the spirits which had been the main cause of his being so touchy, in the city jail. The dawn of anew day found Moriarity not so full of the desire to tell the law what it could or could not do. He was booked on charges of drunkenness, creating a disturbance, vagrancy and resisting an officer.

Gag Rule Sought to End Filibuster on Bank Bill

divided over resort to this drastic remedy, although the preliminary move of getting the sixteen signatures shows how the youngsters’ rebellion has upset them and cast a shadow’ over the incoming Roosevelt administration. Minority Leader Robinson, (Dem.. Ark.), often the target of Senator Huey P. Long's wrath, prefers to withhold the motion if it seems likely to fail. It might impair his prestige in the face of a possible fight to unseat him next session. But Senator Carter Glass (Dem., Vt.), demands a showdown on the measure supposed to have the indorsement of President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt. He wants to know how many Democrats will support the fiery Mr. Long against the established Democratic leadership and the next President. He also wants to show that big banking interests, represented by certain reactionary Republican senators, are the real opponents of the measure.

RUSH PASSAGE * FORECAST FOR BILLS Demands for Salary Cuts Are Expected to Be Voted Down. Prompt passage by the Indiana senate of the state administration’s j companion highway bills is predicted as result of assurance of | a favorable committee report from Ithe roads committee, to which the bills w'ere referred Friday. Members of the committee held a brief meeting on the proposed measures, at which tentative agreement was reached. Senator Claude R. Wickard (Dem., Camden), committee chairman, said authors of the bills asked permission of the committee to refer the to the attorney-general for minor corrections in wording. Fundamental features of the tw T o bills, it is said, are not to be disturbed. A few members of the committee, it is understood, expressed desire for reduction in the annual salary of $5,200, now specified for each of the three full-time commissioners provided for in the “ripper bills." This opposition, if every expressed on the floor of the senate, is not expected to survive second reading of the bills. Salary figures were left open until immediately prior to introduction of the new bill, in an effort to arrive at a figure more satisfactory to those w'ho thought a lower salfy advisable. Originally, a salary of $6,000 was contemplated. Provisions allowing use of paving materials made at the state's penal and correctional institutions are causing comment around the lobbies. Sponsors of the bills are soothing agents of paving material manufacturers by pointing out. that these provisions are not mandatory, but optional. Administration senators, despite the opposition expected from the lobbies, are predicting success in both committee hearings and on the floor of the senate.
