Revision Seen As Probable

Buy United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—The joint Committee on Internal Reve- | nue Taxation was prepared today | to make available to Congress infor- | mation which may be the basis for | revision and possible abolition of | certain nuisance taxes at the coming session, The committee will make no recommendations, but it was learned that it had developed data which members believe makes obvious the [reed for action on several existing | levies. | It had been reported that one of [the chief reasons Congress may be | requested to eliminate some of (he [nuisance taxes is their supposedly [high collection costs. This, 1t was (learned, is erroneous. The study has revealed that the highest collection cost for any tax 1s approximately 8 per cent of the | total receipts from that levy, The average cost of collecting all taxes, | according to a computation of the | Internal Revenue Bureau, is 1.39 | per cent.

New Year's eve, and that he would | start the new year by attending some of the more conservative balls during the Vienna carnival season which lasts from New Year's Day until Lent. Edward was understood to have telephoned today to Archduke Anton of Hapsburg and his wife Princess Ileana of Roumania at Sonnberg castle, postponing until early in January a visit to them he had considered making during the holidays. Edward braved a snowstorm that kept many Viennese indoors Christmas Day to drive the 30 miles from Enzesfeld to Vienna to attend Christmas services at the British chapel.

Reads From St. Luke

In the congregation at the chapel were American Minister George S. Messersmith and his wife. The Duke sat in the front pew, his face immobile, while the minister said the prayers for the British royal family. Then Sir Walford Selby, British minister, read the first lesson. Then the Duke read the second lesson, customarily given from St. Luke at Christmas. He was pale and devout looking as he read the lesson in a clear, firm voice. The Rev. Mr. Grimes preached the sermon on peace and good will, without allusion to the Duke. The Duke joined heartily with the choir and the rest of the congregation in singing “God Save the King” in honor of his brother King George VI at the end of the services. Afterward, the British minister gave a luncheon at the legation | across the street in the Duke's honlor. The Rev. Mr. Grimes and | others were present. Turkey and | plum pudding featured the meal. | During the lunch, the Duke was | informed by telephone from Lon- | don that a daughter had been born to his brother and sister-in-law, the | Duke and Duchess of Kent. After | the lunch, Edward left for the castle.

Sees No War

Frank B. Kellogg Still Has Faith in Peace | Pact He Made.

By United Press T. PAUL, Minn, Dec. 26.— There will be no war in Europe in the near future, Frank B. Kellogg, co-author of the international peace pact bearing his name, predicted today. Mr. Kellogg reaffirmed his faith in the Kellogg-Briand peace pact and said absence of major conflicts proves that signatory powers still consider it binding. He said Spain’s present troubles are strictly her own, that other nations realize war holds no remedy for their ills, and that those who signed the T8-word peace document have shown no disposition to violate it. Seated at his fireside, the 80-year-old diplomat scanned headlines which visioned major war possibilities in the appeal of Spanish rebels for German aid. “The Spanish revolt is entirely a domestic affair,” he said. “It has nothing to do with other nations and there is no reason they should become involved. “The Kellogg-Briand pact still is in force in Europe, with all the vigor it had when it was signed in 1928.” » ” ” R. KELLOGG said he was confident that leaders of major powers ‘recognize that armed conflict holds only one promise — national disaster—for the powers that dare to engage

in war.” With dramatic gestures that belittled Christmas Day war rumors, he said: “Surely all nations must remember that for nearly 2000 years we have been striving to attain the ideal of ‘peace on earth and good will towgrd men.’ ” Mr. Kellogg, Secretary of State under the late President Calvin Coolidge, praised President Roosevelt's efforts to better international understanding, particularly his recent visit to the interAmerican peace conference in Buenos Aires. “I am pleased to see an Amerjoan President engaged in a mission of peace to Central and South America,” he said. ‘Such an example will do much to encourage other nations to work toward peace.” He is confident, he said, that the United States will continue to do all in its power to maintain international peace and good will.

DIONNE FAMILY

HAS REUNION ON

CHRISTMAS DAY

Quins See Baby Brother for First Time but Get No Turkey.

By United Press | CALLANDER, Ont., Dec. 26.—The | Dionne quintuplets seemed to think | today that their Christmas pariy was the best they ever had. The famous girls entertained their entire family, for the first time, at a real Christmas celebration in the Defoe nursery yesterday. Papa and Mama Dionne and the quins’ six brothers and sisters all were there. Even Oliva Jr, whom the quins had never before seen, H2 was born last June. The Dionne family sat down at noon to a Christmas dinner at which a 20-1b. turkey was the main attraction. All except the quintuplets and little Oliva Jr, had turkey. The quins and their small brother had to be content with regular “baby” food—no turkey, no “trimmings’—but they seemed to enjoy it. The Dionnes arrived at the nurgery at 11:30 a, m., and stayed until nearly 5 p. m., Then they left, papa Dionne carrying what was left of the big turkey under his arm, and the quins went to bed. During the day the quins were away from their family for only an hour, when their nurses took them off to bed for the usual hour's sleep shortly after dinner. The three older Dionne sisters and the two oldest brothers gave a little singing and dancing act for the Quins and the famous girls also did a dance. A blizzard, first of the winter, | roared down over Callander yester- | day. |
