FEDERAL TAX LAW REVISION SEENCERTAIN Next Session to Bring On Necessary Action. Says Senator. BY LYLE C. WILSON In it'd Pr, Staff CorrMpond.nt WASHINGTON, June 20.—Wholesale revision of federal tax laws to equalize the burden among the millions of contributors to the federal treasury was proposed today by Senator William H. King (Dem., Utah), chairman of a senate finance subcommittee charged with Investigation of the revenue laws. King told the United Press that what he called “leaks,” such as were revealed by investigation of the J. P Morgan <te Cos. partners, none of whom paid income taxes in 1931 and 1932, had demonstrated the necessity for general revision of the tax laws. A hodge-podge of emergency tax legislation is on the statute books. Congress spent months last year in an effort to balance the budget with a combination of special sales taxes and income tax increases. Revision Is Looming The treasury continued to spend more than was collected, and the session just ended extended socalled nuisance taxes for another year and devised new emergency levies to amortize the administration's $3,300,000,000 public works program. King's committee will undertake to lay the foundation for more equitable taxation. His colleagues are Senators La Follette (Rep., Wis.); Reed (Rep., Pa.); Barkley (Dem., Ky.), and Byrd (Dem., Va,). King said congress can not escape general revision of the revenue law next session. He said it might not be possible to obtain a meeting of the full subcommittee, but that he would proceed alone within the next fortnight to get the inquiry under way. “It is my hope that we will be able to get rid of most of the nuisance taxes enacted in the emergency revenue act of 1932,” he said. “That could be done either by increasing income taxes, or by means of a general sales tax. Likes Sales Tax Best “Personally, I don’t want to increase the normal rate on income taxes. The men and women earning from $4,000 to $6,000 are the backbone of the country, and in my judgment, they are paying enough. “But there is pressure both for increased normal rates and for a general sales tax. The sales tax problem is complicated by the fact that many states recently have resorted to that source of revenue and if the federal government enacted a sales tax law we simply would be adding to the duplication which already exists between federal and state taxations. “In my judgment, however, a sales tax would permit reduction in the income taxes. AIR WEATHER TESTS FIRST MADE IN 1784 Observations During Early Balloon Hops Foundation for Today’s Service Science Service CHICAGO. June 20.—Weather service for fliers, now one of the most actively pursued of the applied sciences, is no new thing under the sun. It had at least the genns of a beginning in the earliest balloon ascensions, Willis R. Gregg of the United States weather bureau told fellow’ meteorologists at a joint meeting with the American Physical Society here today. In 1784, an American physician named Jeffries took meteorological observations during the course of a balloon ascension, and other observers. especially in France, soon followed his example. Nearly three generations later, with a carefully planned series of observations made by a sergeant rs the army signal corps during a balloon flight made especially for the purpose, the foundation was laid for the use of balloons, especially of small unmanned balloons carrying recording instruments.
