GRUMBLES AND THREATS HAIL TAX DEMANDS Congress Prepaies for Unwelcome lask of Meeting U. S. Budget Needs. HINT INFLATION REVOLT Stiff Resistance to Move to Raise More Than 500 Millions Indicated. B V United Bren* WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.—Cc.igress prepared today amid grumbling and threats of inflationary revolt for the unwelcome task of devising taxes to meet budgetary needs of $1,137,000,000 outlined by President Roosevelt. Administration leaders indicated fjhey would seek to spread the bur<J< over two or three years. If the twT9 fear period is selected the annua’r.*tax need would B $870,000,000; for three years the figure would be $786,000,000 annually. Stiff resistance to any move to raise much more than $500,000,000 to $600,000,000 was indicated, especially in the Hou.v\ and danger signs of a strong inflation revolt were apparent. Demand Based on Budget Needs President Roosevelt based his demand to taxes upon the necessity of restoring the budget for the fiscal years 1936 and 1937 to the balance—except for relief costs —existing before the Supreme Court AAA decision and passage of the immediate bonus payment bill. , Treasury needs were outlined as follows; 1. $524,000,000 for farm program costs in the 1937 fiscal year. President’s recommendation: $500,000,000 in permanent annual taxes to replace former processing taxes. Con-| gress expected to enact excise levies roughly similar to processing taxes but on broader base and not so heavy on individual items. 2. $120,000,000 annually for nine years to amortize increased costs of paying the bonus now. No specific recommendation by the President. No definite indication in Congress of type of tax to be imposed. 3. $493,000,000 losses and expenses occasioned by AAA decision. President recommended taxes over one, two or three years, suggesting a special form of income tax on processors to recapture as much as possible of the estimated $300,000,000 “windfall" of unpaid and impounded processing taxes. He did not say how the remainder might be obtained. Bill Due Tuesday Congressional leaders pointed out that the permanent tax bill involved only $620,000,000 and that $500,000,000 of this represented replacement of the now outlawed processing taxes. They added that taxes represented by item three would increase the burden by only $250,000.0?0 if spread over two years or $165,000,000 if spread over three years. While Mr. Roosevelt had made his view's of what funds the Treasury needed very clear, there was widespread doubts in Congress as to the possibility of enacting so large a tax bill in an election year. It was expected, moreover, that many factors "ould not be clarified until after i,he President's tax measure, expected Tuesday or Wednesday. The House Ways and Means Comrr.Utee prepared to start hearings as soon as possible. TEMPERATURE TO DROP TONIGHT, BUREAU SAYS State Flood Threat Practically Erased, U. S. Office Asserts.

5 & 10 HEIRESS SERIOUSLY ILL Three Doctors, Including Edward Vlll’s Physician, Attend Her. (Copyright. 1936, by United Press) LONDON, Feb. 29.—Barbara Hutton Mdvani Von Haugwitz-Revent-low, whose $40,000,000 hasn’t protected her from her share of unhappiness, was in a serious condition today following an abdominal operation. Three doctors, one King Edward's physician, were in attendance. In his four-room nursery adjoining Barbara's rooms, her five-day-old son squalled lustily. The Reventlow household announced that Barbara had spent a fairly good night, though Lord Horder, the King’s physician, had visited her nearly every hour during the morning. A close acquaintance told the United Press that she had improved. Her husband, Count Kurt Von Haugwitz-Reventlow, who had been at her bedside almost continuously since the baby was born on Monday, retired for a few hours sleep following Lord Horder’s last visit. But other doctors, including specialists, arrived, indicating the seriousness of her condition. The household announced at 10 a. m. that she was “still restful.” At the same time, it was learned that another nurse had been added to the staff. Yet there was no doubt as to the seriousness of her condition. She gave birth to her 7^-pound son Monday. (According to two London newspapers, a Caesarian operation was necessary.) Thursday she was operated on for an abdominal obstruction. Yesterday her condition grew so grave tnat at one time three physicians were at her bedside constantly. Today the tenseness had relaxed somewhat, but her husband and her family still were worried. In 1934 Babara, then the Princess Alexis Mdivani, subjected herself to a drastic diet to lose weight and slenderize her figure. This, the United Press learined, indirectly caused the condition that demanded surgical recourse. Soon after she finished the diet, she was in a nursing home for several weeks. WILENTZ WON’T OPPOSE REPRIEVE, iS REPORT Hoffman Doing G. O. P. Harm, Democratic Leaders Feel. TRENTON, N. J., Feb. 29.—A person close to Atty. Gen. David T. Wilentz said today that Wilentz hand changed his mind about opposing anew reprieve for Bruno Richard Hauptmann, should Gov. Harold G. Hoffman decide to grant one. Wilentz previously had been understood to be ready to oppose a new- Hauptmann reprieve in court, challenging Hoffman’s power to grant one. The new information said that political pressure had been applied to the Attorney General. Stats Democratic leaders feel, it w’as said, that Hoffman had harmed the Republican Party by his actions in the Hauptmann case, and believed he should be given every opportunity to do more harm.

Qov. McNutt yesterday issued a proclamation calling the legislainto session. He emphasized the need for immediate action. The Governor pointed out that a joint legislative committee has completed “the draft of necessary cooperative legislation to enable the state of Indiana and its citizens to participate in the benefits of the Federal social security act.” He is scheduled to address a joint session of the House and Senate Thursday morning. He says his message will deal only with the necessity of social security legislation enactment. Battle on Age Limit Expected The battle on old-age pensions is expected to be precipitated by demands of large groups in both houses that the state start paying benefits to persons 65 next year. Recommendations of the joint legislative committed which has prepared model enabling bills on old-age pensions, unemployment compensation, public health and administrative control o* these activities fix July 1, 1938, as the date when old-age pension payment to persons 65 and older are to start. The committee action was in compliance with the Governor’s demands. He believes that additional revenue must be raised if old-age pension payments on the 65-year basis start in 1937 as sought by many legislators. Gross Tax May Be Revised An administration-powered bill for gross income tax revision will be the Governor’s answer to such an attempt, he has announced. Although the special session has been called for the sole ostensible purpose of enacting social security enabling bills, many legislators are expected to introduce a number of other measures dealing with such (Turn to Page Three)

SCIENTISTS PRAISE BIRTH ANESTHESIA New Mixture Called ‘Greatest Advance in 25 Years.’ B,y Science Service WASHINGTON, Feb. 29. The new childbirth anesthetic mixture developed by George Washington University scientists was hailed by authorities as “the greatest advance in obstetrics in 25 years,” when reports of its use in nearly 1000 cases were presented today. The mixture consists of paraldehyde and benzyl alcohol. It was developed in the university’s medical school pharmacology laboratories by Dr. George B. Roth, collaborating with Dr. Howard F. Kane, head of the obstetrical department, where it was given its clinical trial on mothers in childbirth. Safety is one of its greatest advantages. It is only mildly toxic, and if pure and properly given is considered safer than any of the other methods used to relieve suffering in childbirth. It can be given easily, another big advantage. After the injection, the mother falls into a deep, refreshing sleep. There is hardly any excitement and the desired oblivion comes quickly. When she awakens, hours after her child has been born, she has no memory of the experience, and has suffered no pain during the birth process. Another advantage is the fact that the babies do not need to be slapped or held upside-down to make them start breathing.

REVOLT SCENES ARE DESCRIBED Eye-Witness Discloses How Liberals Met Death at Rebels’ Hands. John Thompson, S.an Francisco foreign editor, was present in Tokyo Feb. 26 when young militarists killed five elder statesmen and attempted a coup d’etat. He has radioed from the President Hoover the first eye-witness account o the uprising which Japanese officials still are trying to suppress. BY JOHN X. THOMPSON (Copyright, 1936, by San Francisco News and the United Press) ABOARD THE S. S. PRESIDENT HOOVER, Feb. 29.—A young officer in charge of a machine gun platoon stood at the door of the official residence of Premier Keisuke Okada in Tokyo the morning of Feb. 26 and demanded the official, head of the Japanese cabinet, come out. “Come out and die for the good of your country,” the young officer shouted. Okada (or rather his heroic broth-er-in-law, who, it was disclosed today in Tokyo, substituted for him) emerged and ran when he saw the platoon assembled. Bullets followed him. Riddled with bullets he fell over into an ornamental pond in the garden of his residence. Similar scenes were taking place elsewhere in Tokyo. At the home of Admiral Makoto Saito, lord keeper of the privy seal, Mrs. Saito stepped in front of the soldiers and demanded she be shot first. She fell wounded and be(Turn to Page Three) GUILTY TRIO IN STERN CASE TO BE SENTENCED Three Were Convicted of Getting $60,000 by Switch-and-Sell. Louis Stern, Sam Schweitzer and Harry N.

Premier’s Brother-in-Law Calmly Sacrifices Life for Admiral. SUZUKI ALSO IS LIVING Secret Guarded Closely for Many Hours, Official Report Reveals. BY H. FREDERICK WHITEING (Copyright, 1936, by United Press) TOKYO, Feb. 29.—A man thought dead headed Japan’s government today. A second man, also listed officially as dead for three and a half days, held the high post of Grand Chamberlain in the Imperial household. Coincident with the collapse of a revolt of young extremist army officers, it was disclosed officially that Premier Keisuke Okada anti Giand Chamberlain Soroku Suzuki, who had been listed as among the five liberal statesmen killed by the extremists, were alive. Okada was at the imperial palace tonight conferring with other ministers of his government. Admiral Okada was not even wounded. In his place his brother-in-law, Col. Matsuo, walked stiffly into the garden of the prime minister’s residence, presented himself to the rebels’ execution squad and was shot down in cold blood. Suzuki was wounded. He was reported improving tonight. Hence the rebels killed only Korekiyo Takahashi, finance minister; Admiral Viscount Bakoto Saito, Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal, and Gen. Jotaro Watanabe, inspector of general military education. At least, they still were officially dead tonight. Until the crisis was iquidated this afternoon, and Tokyo began returning to normal, the secret that two of the chief targets of the rebel assassins were alive was guarded closely. Makes Heroic Sacrifice Only tonight did the authorities permit the news to be known. Suzuki’s escape was due to his own good fortune. Okada lives, and is officially confirmed as still the country’s prime minister, because of the heroic sacrifice of his soldier brother-in-law who went into the garden of his home and faced the rebels’ fire. His body lay there guarded by rebels for many hours. The official announcement was made that Okada was among the five men “executed" by the rebels for their liberalistic politics. Okada escaped from the house. This afternoon, it was disclosed that on Wednesday afternoon, while Natsuo’s body was in the garden under a rebel guard, the prime minister went to the Imperial Palace and conferred with Emperor Hirohito. Fumio Goto had been made acting prime minister because it was thought his chief, Admiral Okada, (Turn to Page Three)

■FAST TIME’ STARTS IN CHICAGO TONIGHT Clocks to Be Set Ahead One Hour in Area. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 29.—Chicago and most of its suburbs are to set their clocks ahead one hour tonight to conform with ordinances establishing permanent Eastern standard time. “Fast time” becomes official at 2 a. m. Whether it actually is to be “permanent” may be decided in a referendum. The Chicago Federation of Labor has started circulation of 40,000 petitions in an effort to obtain more than 375,000 signatures so bring the question to a vote at the November election. An Interstate Commerce Commission hearing to determine if railroads should conform to the time change brought objections from many powerful groups. Commissioner Clyde D.

Insurgents Give Up When Emperor Delivers His Personal Order. MARTIAL LAW RELAXED Fate of Rebels’ Leaders Unknown; War Minister May End Life. BY RAY G. MARSHALL (Copyright, 1936, by United Press) TOKYO, Feb. 29.—Japan’s revolt of a handful of young army officers and 900 of their men came to its end tonight—an end that in more formal drama would not have been conceivable. Enlisted men surrendered in groups in obedience to a solemn personal order from their emperor, descendant of the “Sun God.” The fate of the officers was not immediately known. As the revolt collapsed, two of the statesmen among the five announced officially as “executed” by the rebels for their liberalism came suddenly to life. Admiral Keisuke Okada, prime minister, escaped when his brother--in-law Col. Matsuo, sacrificed himself to the rebel firing squad in the snow-covered garden of the official prime ministry residence. Still Is Prime Minister Admiral Kantaro Suzuki, grand chamberlain of the imperial court, it was disclosed, was wounded severely but not killed by the men who went to his home to shoot him. Late tonight Admiral Okada was at the imperial palace conferring with Emperor Tirohito. He was prime minister again—officially “still”—after the country had mourned him for 31£ days. It was disclosed that, after an acting prime minister had been named in his place because he was believed dead, he went to the palace to see the Emperor. The acting premier’s commission was cancelled at once, though news that Admiral Okada was alive was kept secret. Fate Is Mystery The mystery attaching to the fate of the rebel officers caused excited speculation with its resulting rumors—that they had been shot, that they had killed themselyes, that they had been captured, that they still held out in some building under the guns of regular troops. If alive they faced either seppuku, the “honorable suicide” by disembowelment with a ceremonial sword, in the traditional manner, or a trial by court-martial in which they would have the opportunity to speak for hours or days, explaining to the nation and particularly to their army comrades that they revolted only in pursuit of an ideal, to restore the purity of army tradition, to offset the invasion of western ideas which they saw as sapping the martial spirit of Japan. There was speculation also as to a brief statement issued by Lieut. Gen. Yoshiyuki Kawashima, minister of war. He said that he felt a heavy personal responsibility for the revolt because the entire army did not respond to his orders. Such a leeling of responsibility, in Japan, often is followed by the honorable suicide unless the subject’s associates can dissuade him and convince him that his course was above reproach. It was pointed out at once, as regards Gen. Kawashima, that the rebels—the enlisted men themselves—stayed wit htheir young officers in defiance of orders of their superiors. Only when the emperor sent his own personal order to the men to return to barracks did they leave, in groups, one after another, the (Turn to Page Three) GERMAN LIBERAL TO HEAD N. Y. SYMPHONY Wilhelm Furtwaengler to Succeed Arturo Toscanini at Post.
