By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, March 25.—From here on cut Administration heat

will

be applied to keep alive the A. F. of L.-C. I. O. conference.

Prospects for the next session in New York Thursday indicate little progress. Nothing whatever was accomplished at the session here yesterday—despite the semiofficial statement that some progress was made.

The negotiators could not even agree

on where they were—on whether

the A. F. of L. answer to the C. I. O. question, regarding reaffiliation of

former A. F. of L. unions or “no.” : Hope Still Remains But the situation is not altogether hopeless. One of the many diffi‘culties has been the lack of authority on the part of the A. F. of L. negotiators. Taking the Thursday statement of the A. F. of L. Coun-

‘cil at its face value, it wiped out

what little authority the negotiators had. But that is not true. The A. F. of L. antipeace group has not yet been able to tie up the

Tobih peace group. Daniel J. Tobin

(teamsters’ union), of Indianapolis, has, not. less authority as a negotiator but actually a little more as a result of this week’s sessions of the A. F. of L. Council and of the peace conference. That is about the only gain to date. As for the future, the Administration more desperately than ever is trying to roll up a mighty mandate from the rank-and-file of labor. So far it has received peace demands from 550 unions and local and state organizations, said to represent more than two and a half million workers.

Mass Pressure Necessary The higher this figure of mass demand rises, of course the greater will be the President's power to force peace. A sufficient number of leaders are opposed to peace to prevent any hope of settlement without this mass pressure through the Administration. In any case a continuation of the interlabor war would be perhaps the final blow to the New Deal's waning chances of victory at the polls in 1940. Hence the renewed pressure. : The only one of the seven negotiators with whom they are in close contact is the leader of the A. F. of L. peace group, Mr. Tobin. But the Administration is very vigorously “running” the negotiations in the sense of insisting that the sessions

continue.

Mine Pact Negotiators Study Union Plans

P.).— Proposals by the United Mine Workers relative to a new contract in the Eastern bituminous districts were studied privately today by negotiators for the union and the operators.

BREEN CHARGES PLOT ONA.F.L

Claims C. I. 0. and NLRB Trying to Work Out Death Of His Combine.

‘WASHINGTON, March 25 (U.P.)— A. F. of L. president William Green charged today that the National Labor Relations Board and the C. I.

0. are “working out the destruction of the A. F. of L.” Mr. Green’s charge was made in a circular letter tu all A. F. of L. affiliates, in which he sought to answer opposition expressed by some Federation unions to the amendments which the A. F. of L. itself proposed to the Wagner act. He denied his group was seeking to destroy the labor relations statute, and declared that A. F. of L. officials as “friends” and “sponsors” of the original law are trying “to perfect it, to preserve it, and to make it a better law.” Mr. Green charged the C. I. .O. had confused A. F. of L. unions and persuaded them to oppose the Federation amendments by “misrepresentation and false propaganda.” Until his letter was made public, it had appeared that prospects for eventual reunion of the A. F. of L. and C. I. O. were brighter than in weeks. But the C. I. O. is conducting a vigorous campaign against any changes in the labor law. If has been instrumental in persuading the Senate Education and Labor Committee to delay public hearings on amendment proposals with the argument that such hearings would be a stumbling block in the peace talks. The A. F. of L. Executive Council however, is now exerting pressure on the Committee to fix a date for hearings when it meets next Tuesday. ?

TWO HELD IN BEATING

LA PORTE, March 25 (U. P.)— Sheriff Joseph Wolf was to leave for Miami, Fla. today to return Wayne Spencer, 24, of Indianapolis, and Mrs.. Eva Burton Prihoda, 21, of Michigan City, in connection with the beating and robbery June 290 of her father-in-law, Fred Prihoda, -75, of Michigan City. The couple allegedly assaulted Prihoda and stole $800 from him.

AID TO BUSINESS

Relief on Higher Incomes Proposed to Spur Capital Outlays.

(Editorial, Page 10)

' By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, March 25.—A proposal for reduction of present surtaxes in the upper brackets is being discussed in connection with a tax revision program to promote

business expansion, it was learned today. The theory is that lowering of rates on big incomes will'divert into much needed capital investment funds that now go into tax-exempt securities. Present high rates, which reach a maximum of 70 per cent on incomes of five million and over, were imposed in 1935. : It is suggested that this maximum be cut to 60 per cent, with a readjustment of schedules below, to free funds for business expansion.

Tax Revision Still Studied

Treasury experts and Congressional tax leaders still are proceeding quietly with study of a tax pro-’ gram despite the cold water thrown on the tax changes by President Roosevelt, the theory being that Mr. Roosevelt has put the problem up to Congress and that he would sign a reasonable revision bill. Other proposals being discussed as part of a tax revision program are repeal of the vestigates of the undistributed profits tax, which expires in December, and repeal of the capital stock excess profits tax, which would entail a revenue loss estimated at 264 million dollars with substitution for these levies of a straight corporation tax at a high rate, probably 22 per cent.

Showdown Closer on Key Farm Appropriation

WASHINGTON, March 25 (U. P.). The House approached a showdown today on & 250 million dollar extrabudgetary farm appropriation which may determine the fate of Government economy efforts at this session of Congress. , The House votes today on a 250 million dollar parity payment provision attached to the Agriculture Appropriation Bill without Budget Bureau Recommendation and over the bitter protest of economy forces. Several well informed members said they believed that is the 250 million dollar bill is approved, the President would get the full 150 million relief fund despite opposition of Appropriations Committee members.

WASHINGTON, March 25 (U.P.). —The Justice Department today announced retirement of Judge George H. Bingham cf the First Circuit Court of Appeals at Boston.

SURTAX CUTS AS

SECURITY TAX RELIEF FAVORED

House Committee Would Ban Any Increase Until 1943.

(Editorial, Page 10)

WASHINGTON, March 25 U. P.). —Members of the House Ways and Means Committee indicated today they favored the suggestion made by Treasury Secretary Morgenthau which would delay any increases in Sacial Security tax rates until 1943. Chairman Robert L. Doughton (D. N. C.) said he would confer with President Roosevelt in a day or two on the proposal. Rep. Doughton indicated that he wishes to act quickly on this phase of the business appeasement program. Mr. Morgenthau proposed four alternative rate schedules for old-age insurance contributions to the committee yesterday. Three others would provide for smaller increases than the present law provides after 1940. He saw no prospect of lighter social security taxes after 1943. In most cases members of the committee indicated that they would favor retaining the 1 per cent tax on employer and employee until 1943, and then placing the present schedule in effect. Unless Congress changes the law the I per cent tax will be increased to 12 per cent next Jan. 1. : Ten Republican members of the committee immediately indorsed Mr. Morgenthau’s recommendation for reduction of the reserve fund, scheduled to grow to 47 billion dollars by 1980.

‘He Always Liked to Hel D People, Says Mother of ‘Savage’ Who Killed 5 Men

President Roosevelt, at his press e

CODY, Wyo., March 25 (U. P.. —The undertaker shaved the beard and shingled the unkempt hair today and made Tarzan Durand, a savage who ate raw meat and killed five men, into plain Earl Durand, 26, a simple-minded youth who had a bad dream and never woke up. The National Guard hauled its howitzers out of the Bear Tooth mountains and 300 men came behind, unbreeching their rifies. The hunt was over. Tarzan, bearded woodsman, killer of man and beast, was dead. To the natives of this ranch country who had known Durand all his life, the inunderstandable

thing: was what bad changed him

in an instant from an open-handed youth who loved the outdoors and this wild mountain country; who had felt confined even when he was in a house, into a savage killer. Until eight days ago he had had no reputation as an untractable person or as a ‘bad man.”

Feared 10-Year Term

Eight days ago he was in jail serving ‘30 days for shooting an elk out of season, an offense not considered serious in this country where game abounds. The natives are known to kill it out of season for food rather than kill their beef cattle. Ten days ago, the district attorney charged him with killing a beef steer belonging to a :cattleman—a felony in this cattle raising section always severely punished. Durand was told about it and someone remarked to him that he might “get 10 years.” Twenty-four hours later, Durand slugged his jailor, escaped, and bean his nightmare of murder that ended on the floor of the bank at Powell yesterday afternoon. He tried to hold it up, was wounded three times, and, though squirming in pain, found the strength to raise a pistol to his head and administer his own coup de grace. At the farm home of his parents to which he first escaped, he shot to death Undersheriff D. M. Baker and Town Marshal Charles Lewis. He fled toward the Bear Tooth Range on foot in a driving blizzard. A hundred possemen pursued. They hunted him for five days and, if for no other reason than for their own safety, their orders were to shoot him on sight. : Tarzan Leaves Hideout Wednesday, at daybreak, Tarzan came out of the mountains, broke into a farm house, and forced Art Thornburg and his wife to drive him to the headwaters of Little Rock Creek high up the Bear Tooth Range. There he left them and disappeared. id : Mr. Thornburg gave the alarm. Sheriff Frank Blackburn -and his posse got bloodhounds, and beside the mountain creek, they picked up Tarzan’s trail. Late that day the dogs holed up the killer in a natural mountain fortress. Mr. Blackburn’s men drew up to the edge of a 100yard square clearing whose northern edge was a sheer cliff of rock. Knowing that Tarzan was a deadly marksman, the sheriff ordered that no man was to show himself. Orville Linabary and Arthur Argento disobeyed. They stepped into the clearing and ga rifle spat twice from the cliff. They dropped and their bodies rolled down an incline, OVer Snow. At mid-day Thursday, Sheriff Blackburn ordered his men to blast him out. The posse advanced, firing elk guns and six-shooters. - They found the fortress deserted. - National Guard Called Wyoming sent a detachment of National Guard with small artillery. Montana sent another detachment with howitzer and trench mortar. At dawn yesterday, three hundred

‘men set out for the highest pinnacle

of the Bear Tooth where Sheriff Blackburn believed Durand had found another citadel. By noon they were nearing the pinnacle. Late yesterday. Durand appeared in front of the First National Bank at Powell. He entered, brandishing his revolver, his rifle under his other arm. To.

He scooped up $2000 in currency and jammed it into his knapsack. Tieing the three men haphazardly together with the boot strings of his last victim, he moved them ahead of him toward the door. But he had been recognized as he entered the bank and townsmen were outside, waiting. From behind his shield of three men, he saw them and opened fire. His rifle and pistol fire rained out into the street, smashing through windows and door glass. : His captives broke away, and when Gawthrop sought to slip out the door he was shot dead, either accidentally or purposely by Tarzan. Cornered, all avenues of escape closed, already winged twice by shots from the street, he boldly exposed himself, firing widly in all directions.

Tipton Cox, 17-year-old high school pupil, borrowed a rifle from a

behind -three “hostages.”

Across the street in a gasoline station, a school boy, who had always thought Earl Durand “a great guy,” leveled a rifle and brought the sight of Tarzan’s chest and fired. Tarzan crumpled, groveling on the tile floor of the bank. He had just reloaded his big black 45. Slowly, painfully he drew up his arm, put the barrel against his temple and fired. Today his white-haired mother sat in a farmhouse two miles west of here, wringing her hands and sobbing: “He liked people,” she said. “And he always liked to help them. He often said to me, ‘Mother, the people around us need help. Can’t we give them something?’ : “We are more depressed over the death of those others than we are over his death.” W. R.
