"REVISION BIL

DUE IN HOUSE

BY NEXT WEEK;

~ LEVYON CHAINS PROPOSED

Maximum 16 Per Cent 0 Smaller Firms Wins Committee Favor.

- WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 w. P.). — The Administration’s business tax revisien program was virtually ready

today for House consideration next week. The House, Ways and Means Committee tentatively has approved the bill.

A Republican attempt to sirike out the proposed new tax on closely held corporations failed, 15 to 10, in Yesterday's final committee session. The committee then adopted modifications in the tax which Democratic members previously had agreed on, made minor changes ' 4n the measure, and adjourned subJect to the call of Chairman Robert L. Doughton (D. N. C.). = The main features of the bill affect corporation taxes and the levy on capital gains. z. All corporations earning less than $25,000 a year would be exempted from the present undistributed profits tax of 7 to 27 per cent which 3s imposed ‘on their normal rates. Instead they would pay a single set of taxes, 121; per cent on the first $5000, 14 per cent on the next

$15,000 and 16 per cent on the final (on chains of nine stores or less. On

$5000. = Corporations earning more than $25,000 a year would pay 20 per cent on their profits, but would get credits for dividends declared which would make possible a reduction of the rate to 16 per cent if there is 300 per cent distribution. ; Closely held corporations would pay at the rate for corporations above $25,000 and in addition would be subject to another 20 per cent fax if they failed to distribute at . deast 57.6 per cent of their earnings. ~ Exemption of $60,000 in this levy, however, would mean that corporations earning less than $75,000 a year. would escape the penalty.

Local Aid Asked in Relief Bill

= WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 (U. P.) — Senator Bailey (D. N. C.) will ask the Senate today to attach an amendment to the:Administration’s 250 million-dollar deficiency relief Pill requiring local governmental anits to contribute 25 per cent of the cost of projects. -- The Bailey amendment, however, would authorize the President to waive the 25 per cent requirement 4f he felt it was impossible for the Jocal government to meet its share of the costs. - The Senate today rejected an at- | tempt by Senator Bone (D. Wash.) to increase the relief bill to 400 ‘million dollars.

TWO REFORMATORY "PRISONERS ESCAPE

- PENDLETON, Feb. 22 (U. P).— State Reformatory guards today ‘sought two convicts who walked away from a stone quarry detail late yesterday. One of the men, Cecil Spears, 25-year-old Kentuckian serving 10 years for grand larceny imposed in Vanderburg County, was granted a parole by the Reformatory Board last month and was .being held pending final approval of his sponsor and job following release. The other, LeRoy Donnells, 22, serving two to five years for burglary, would have been eligible for parole this April. He was sentenced in Jackson County.

GRAND JURY TO GET EMBEZZLING CASE

Earl Abbot, 1002 N. Delaware St. was held for the Grand Jury under . $1000 bond on two counts today when he waived examination before Municipal Court Judge John MecNelis on embezzlement and vehicle taking charges. Abbott, a trusty during a County “Jail term he served for false pretense, was accused of stealing Chief Deputy [Sheriff Harry Mueller’s automobile and taking $25 which Deputy John Dora entrusted to him.

Three Hoosiers Are Listed Among Sponsors of : Measure.

By HERBERT EITTLE Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.— A chain store tax bill carrying a death sentence for the big interstate chains, which is sponsored by 74 House members from 32 states, has thrown a scare into the industry. The bill may be an issue in some congressional

campaigns this fall. Informed officials do -not expect the bill to-reach a vote this year, although Rep. Wright Patman (D. Tex.), its leading sponsor, is seeking early hearings before the Ways and Means Committee. Under the tax proposed by ‘the bill. the largest interstate grocery chain (A. & P.), which operates in 32 states, including Indiana, would have to pay 569 million dollars a year—34 times its annual profits, and two-thirds the volume of its gross annual business. Rep. Patman sald the measure was intended to restore ownership of retail stores to local businessmen.

Small Chains Exempt The bill would lay no Federal tax

‘chains of 10 to 15 stores the tax would be $50 each. From 15 to 25, such stores would be taxed $100 each. The scale is graduated rapidly upward to a tax of $1000 each for all in excess of 500. The real death sentence, however, is contained in a provision multiplying the tax by the number of states in which a chain operates. Thus the biggest chain, operating in 32 states, would pay $32,000 a year on each store it operated in excess of 500. To give the big chains a chance to sell out, the first year’s tax would be only 50 per cent of the full rate, the second year’s 75 per cent. The bill exempts filling stations that do not sell tires, restaurants maintained by transportation companies, newspaper branch offices, so-called “voluntary co-operative”

chains, and all concerns doing less |-

than $250,000 annual business. Hoosiers Back Bill

Rep. Patman has marshaled several ‘pages of quotations from President Roosevelt’s speeches in praise of little and local business, including his 1936 statement: “We have restored democracy in government. We are in the process of restoring democracy in opportunity.” The bill's cosponsors are reported to include three Congressmen from Indiana, Reps. Gray, Schulte and Farley; eight from Texas; five from Wisconsin, four from Florida, four from Ohio, two from California, two from New York, four from Pennsyl- |. vania, three from Oklahoma, one from Tennessee and Alabama and others from various rural states.

HOUSING CONFERENCE SERIES INAUGURATED

R. Earl Peters, Indiana director | of the Federal Housing Administration, has opened a series of conferences with representatives. of Indianapolis lending institutio on various phases of amendments to the National Housing Act. The first meeting was held yesterday at the Indianapolis Power & Light Co. assembly room with about 20 attending. .The insured mortgage system and improvement loan phases of the dct were studied.

REAL ESTATE BOARD REPORTS FIVE SALES

Indianapolis Real Estate Board members today announced the sale of two residences, two suburban properties and one lot during the past week. Sales totaling $36,650 were reported at a meeting of the Board last

4 night at Canary Cottage.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 (NEA). —There is a Mount Washington in the Fiji Islands; a Washington St. in Ljublijana, Jugoslovakia; a Cape Washington in Greenland; a Washington Square in Saigon, French Indo-China. On the 206th anniversary of George Washington's birth, there

are few countries in the civilized world where residents have not seen, during the last year, something named after the first U.. S. President. George -Washington’s name has been given to every sort of thing in almost every country. In the United States there are more than 125 cities and towns called Washington, and the townships that bear the great mgn’s name are more than double that number. There are countless schools, buildings, parks, streets, monuments, etc., named Washington. But in Washington, D. C.—the city that the great man planned —one of the most ambitious at~ tempts to commemorate the Father of his Country has fizzled after more than 40 years’ struggle. It is the George Washington Memorial, begun in 1898 to obtain “increase of opportunities = for higher education as recommended by George Washington.” Today workmen ares busy clearing away the foundations on Pennsylvania Ave. that were all that ever existed of the memorial. Rising soon on the site will be the new National Art Gallery, a gift to the nation from the late Andrew Mellon. Association Dissolved

The memorial association, unable to raise $2,000,000 for completion of the building, has asked the U. S. District Court to allow it to dissolve and give the $232,000 remaining in its coffers to George Washington University. At one time the association had more than $800,000—made up largely of dimes and dollars contributed by American citizens to honor Washington.

VanNuys,” added the Governor. “He has just licked himself.” The Governor declared that he

had made no personal choice between Samuel Jackson, Ft. Wayne attorney, and Alex Gordon, Indiana labor leader, who both have declared themselves candidates for Mr. VanNuys’ seat. Mr. Townsend said that whoever gets the Democratic nomination will be elected. The Indiana executive said that he has arranged to see President Roosevelt on Thursday. “I believe that Indiana is a typical state with a 50-50 balance between agriculture and industry, and that the talk of hard times Is exaggerated,” he said.

McNutt to Leave

Indianapolis Today

Paul V. McNutt, High Commissioner to the Philippines, was to leave Indianapolis by train this afternoon for Washington where he is to be guest of Senator and Mrs.Minton at a reception tomorrow. The Commissioner was back in Indianapolis today after a visit yesterday in Bloomington. While Mr. McNutt has been mentioned for the Indiana University presidency, U. S. District Attorney

Val Nolan, a university trustee, said the post was not offered him. The trustees are to meet next Monday. Judge Ora Wildermuth,

Gary, Board president, is in Texas and may not return in time to attend. In his absence, it was said, action 'on the presidency probably will not be taken. Paul L. Feltus, Bloomington, Board member, had luncheon with Mr, McNutt yesterday. Mr. Feltus has remained silent on reports the board might create a vice presidency for Acting President Herman B. Wells in the event Mr. McNutt becomes president. A Hoosier delegation led by Governor Townsend preceded the Commissioner to Washington last night. Five special cars were attached to a Pennsylvania Railroad train to accommodate the Hoosier .delegation. The party is to remain in Washington until Thursday night and return here Friday. While Washington reports insisted that transfer of Col. Davenport Johnson from command of the Army base at San Francisco to second in command at Chanute Field, Ill, was because he flew Commissioner McNutt from San Francisco to Denver, Mr. McNutt said “everything was perfectly regular” about the transfer.

Czech Pact With Russia Now One of Hitler's Chief Concerns

(Continued from Page One)

made six solemn reaffirmations on the necessity of maintaining Austrian independence. Yet, when the hour of decision arrived last week, France stood by while Hitler penetrated Austria. That penetration will continue for it is significant that the Fuehrer’s Reichstag speech on Sunday was barren of any pledge of Austrian independence. His move against Czechoslovakia wil not lack moral support and it may win aid from both Poland and Hungary. Both nations have a stake in Czechoslovakia. The men at Versailles who erased the boundaries of middle Europe and drew new ones dictated that Czechoslovakia should be a nation of at least six tongues and five races. There are 80,000 Poles in Czechoslovakia and 690,000 Hungarians. Despite this jig-saw puzzle of races, the Czechs gloried in the establishment of autonomy. Both Borders Uneasy

There has been a long and wordy war against Czechoslovakia in the Polish and Hungarian press. Both borders are uneasy. Endless diplomatic exchanges occur over the allegation that Czechoslovakia dis-

178 criminates against those of Polish

and Hungarian blood. That is why. Hitler went out of his way in the Reichstag speech to make a special gesture of friendship toward Poland and to refer to Germany's amicable relations with Hungary, Bulgaria and Jugoslavia. If Hitler's penetration of Czechoslovakia sounds fantastic to Americans, they have but to recall state-: ments that Hitler made in 1920} when he was an obscure head of a political party instead of the dominant ruler of Europe. Af that time he listed a 20-point program—a sort of political platform it would be

Purge Held ‘Smoke Screen’

Observers here believe Hitler had worked out a definite schedule for

the Austrian coup and had been planning to execute it in March. But after the Army “purge” and the shake-up in the Reich diplomatic corps, he decided to proceed immediately. He probably thought the coup would be a useful smoke screen for his “purge” and would distract domestic and world attention from what he was doing to the high command of the Army. His strategy apparently succeeded.

The part of it which is still obsecure is what Premier Mussolini got in exchange for keeping out of the Austrian affair and for maintaining silence . on Hitler's demands for domination of Germans resident on alien soil. The most frequent guess—and it nothing more than a guess—is that Hitler promised supply whatever military aid is needed to assure the victory of Gen. Franco in Spain. Mussolini is now so deeply committed in Spain that he cannot permit a Loyalist victory. Hitler’s Reichstag speech might be interpreted as giving weight to that theory because the Fuehrer clearly indicated he would regard Franco's defeat as a Bolshevist victory and

authorities on international affairs believe the wave of international disregard . for law and order and treaty obligations, which now has

with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria and is attributable directly to the success Japan achieved. They agree with the statement of one British authority that Sir John’s “mistake” of 1931-32 in not supporting Mr. Stimson was “the most costly diplomatic blunder any government ever made.” These authorities believe Chamberlain’s\reported bargain with Italy

This belief is based upon another cornerstone of American foreign policy—refusal to recognize the legality of territory or other material gains obtained by force of arms in contravention of existing treaty pledges. is principle was enunciated in 1932 by Mr. Stimson and later was adopted by the League of Nations. It is one of the links which have bound together the United States, Great Britain and France in opposition to the spread of totalitarian regimes.

Fear Further Concessions

Concern was expressed in some circles that British recognition of Italy’s conquest might soon be followed by similar recognition of the

Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo This, in the opinion of commenting officials, would seriously damage or entirely put out of operation one of the most effective weapons of the so-called “Democratic States” against aggression by dictator states. While the ourades” maintained a solid front against recognition of territory conquered in violation of treaty.pledges, the conquerors : have been unable to ob-

principal money markets of the world to exploit their conquests. Banking houses in the world’s democracies have been unwilling to

velopment purposes under the diplomatic cloud of nonrecognition. The conquering nations, their financial resources drained by military expenditures, have had insufficient capital for exploitation purposes.

Borah Says U. S. Policy Led to British Action

(Copyright, 1938, by United Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 (U. P.).— Senator Borah (R., Idaho) - the Senate’s leading authority on foreign relations, expressed the belief today that the European diplomatic crisis had resulted from the abandonment by Great Britain of all hope for an alliance with the United States. Mr. Borah, ranking Republican member of the Senate's powerful foreign relations committee, said he was convinced that the purpose of Britain’s move to seek an agreement with Italy was to weaken Germany and delay her efforts to regain colonies lost in the World War. “I believe the British Government has come to the conclusion that an arrangement with the United States is impossible because the American people won’t allow it,” Mr, Borah said. Seeks to Split Fascists

“As a result she has undertaken to make friends where she can and, if she succeeds in making an agreement with Italy, it will drive a wedge between Italy and Germany.” Discussing Chancellor Hitler’s speech and the resignation of British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden because of the cabinet’s determination to make a deal with Italy, Mr. Borah said that: 1. Redistribution of Europe’s colonial resources was the chief hope of ending the present unsettled situation which, he argued, dates back to -the impoverishment of small powers by the Versailles Treaty. He said he was “convinced” Germany would regain her colonies. 2. War in Europe is unlikely because Hitler expects to accomplish his objectives without fighting.

Hitler Missed Chance

3. If Hitler had declared in his Reichstag speech that there would be no more racial or religious persecution in Germany it would have gone far to end such discrimination throughout Europe and the German dictator would be “the most powerful figure in Europe today.”

‘Scuttled to Back Doors’

“Instead of fortifying the world’s spirit; he scuttled to the back doors of a dictator state to make a bargain behind the back of a friendly country. “Recognition of Italy’s position in Abyssinia would hamstring the President of the United States and drive him into a policy of isolation,” Mr. Greenwood said. Capt. Eden visited Buckingham Palace this afternoon and surrendered his seal to the King. Earlier Viscount Halifax had assured French Ambassador Andre Charles Corbin- that Anglo-French relations had been in no way affected by the reported agreement with Italy. At the same time, it had been announced officially that Lord Perth, British Ambassador to Rome, would arrive in London Thursday to receive instructions on the next stage of the Anglo-Italian negotiations. The Daily Herald asserted that the Government Board of Trade Department already had negotiated a credits agreement. and that Italian representatives were waiting in London to sign it. It was asserted that the credit would be

‘grantec by means of a guarantee,

in the name of the export guarantee committee, to protect British exporters against possible loss.

Bankers Unwilling to Join

The sums of 5,000,000 pounds to 10,000,000 pounds ($25,000,000 to $50,000,000) were mentioned as initial guarantee figures for what was expected to be a substantial stimulus to British exports to Italy. The credits reports coincided with a warning in the Financial News that the Government must not expect British bankers either to underwrite any loan to Italy or to induce investors to subscribe to such a loan. There were rumors of wide repercussions to be expected from the resignation of Capt. Eden in protest against the reported ' agreement. One rumor was that the resignation of Sir Robert Vansittart,- chief diplomatic adviser, might be expected. Moved from his post as to take his new post, Vansittart is to take his ne wpost, Vansitart is a close personal friend of Capt. Eden. It was noted that he was the first official visitor to Capt.
