BLAMES SLUMP ON PROFIT TAX

Arnett Reports Decline in| Trade Due to Effect Of Two Levies.

The current trade slump, reflected in business indices throughout the state, is traceable to the effects of the undistributed profits and capi-tal-gains taxes, William H. Arnett, managing director of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, said today. . Mr. Arnett, who returned recently from a conference of retail businessmen, said this was the feeling shared by most of the officials who attended the meeting. While the retail dealers reported other factors had played some parts in the repression of trade evidenced throughout the state, Mr. Arnett reported, the principal cause is the uncertainty resulting from the effects of the two tax measures, “They reported the slowing up of industrial production had shortened the buyers’ purses and taken a heavy toll in trade in retail establishments,” he said. “The growing resentment against what they feel is an injurious tax law is solidifying efforts of the merchants to effect repeal or modification of the measures. “We have told our Senators and Congressmen just how we stand on the question of the undistributed profits and capital-gains taxes.” “We look to them to take some action to relieve the business and industrial organizations at the coming session of Congress.” He said he had been told of instances where the effects of the taxes had been detrimental to in-| dividual business groups. | Mr. Arnett asserted he was cer- | tain relief from the tax measures would stimulate both industrial pr R] duction and retail trade. |

Europe’s Democracies

Show New Anxiety

LONDON, Nov. 8 (U. P).—Europe’s democracies regarded with growing anxiety today the prospect of world-wide collaboration among Facist nations as the result of Italy's adherence to the German-Japanese anti-Communist alliance. Suspicion persisted that there might be secret military clauses attached to the agreement and this suspicion was intensified when German warships joined Italian warships in target practice yesterday off the italian fortified naval base of Gaete. Aside from any military clauses, however, belief strengthened that the pact would be made the basis not solely for a negative fight against the spread of communism, but for a positive drive to increase the influence of fascism and naziism throughout the world.

Alaskan Fishermen May Boycott Japan

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8 (U. P). — Alaskan fishermen and West Coast maritime unions joined today in plans for a boycott of Japanese ships in reprisal for the invasion of

Official Hint Of Third Term Put in Record

Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. 8~The first public suggestion from within the Administration that President Roosevelt may seek a third term was in the record today. It was offered by Charles Michele son, a key figure in the New Deal “kitchen cabinet,” chief Administra= tion propagandist and director of publicity for the Democratic Nae tional committee, “Obviously, the President cannot in advance decline a renomination that may never be offered him,” Mr. Michelson said in his weekly bulle= tin to newspapers, entitled ‘‘dispell= ing the fog.” “Just as obviously, with the world in such a turmoil as it is today out side of this continent, it cannot be forecasted whether the American people would permit him to lay down his burden in view of possible eventualities.” Knows No More Mr. Michelson professed to kncw no more about the third-term pose sibility than anyone else. He said he had no doubt that today the President is looking forward to ree tiring on Jan. 20, 1941. The third-term discussion was in connection with the current attack on the Roosevelt policies, which he said emanated from “crusted reace tionaries” who are seizing the ree cent stock-market drop in the efe fort to frighten the people and ree gain the power they once held. “Now I know no more about what conditions will be three years hence than the next man,” he said. “I only know that I can conceive of nobody being eager or even ‘willing to take an additional four years of the exasperating drudgery of the presidency after eight years of that anxiety and servitude. “I have no doubt that at the prese ent moment the President is looking forward with a great longing to the peace and rest that will be within his grasp on Jan. 20, 1941.”

BLAMES DOCTOR FOR BLUNDER, KILLS SELF

Suicide Explains His Act in Letters to Officials.

CHICAGO, Nov, 8 (U. P.).—J. D. Pierce, a suicide, explained to the world posthumously today that his death was due to a “doctor's blunder.” Delivered to newspapers, press as« sociations and members of the medical profession in the first mail today was a neatly mimeographed copy of a letter from Pierce to a doctor, ending with this paragraph: “My disease has now reached a stage where comfort is impossible, When this letter is read, I shall have ended the pain by a quick way.” The last four words were unders lined by a wobbly pencil mark. Eleven hours hefore, East Cricago police had been called to a cheap hotel on the North Side and found Pierce dead, a bullet through his head. The letter was a long recitation of Pierce's illness and a declaration to the doctor that “because of your carelessness, I am about to lose my life.”

INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTIONS GAIN

Internal revenue collections in Ine diana last month were more than $3,000,000 greater than in October, 1936, according to Collector Will H, Smith. Total collections last month were $8,284,358.78 as compared to $5,244, 430.87 in October, 1936.
