NEW TAX BILL EXPECTED TO PASS SENATE THIS

Profit Levy Repeal

Approved

in House

With One Dissent

Barkley Predicts Measure Will Get Committee Backing Today.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS TAX BILL placed before Senate Finance Committee. HATCH BILL action demanded by Republicans. NEUTRALITY special session threatened. RELIEF hearings begin in Senate, SPENDING bill may be given to Congress for study. MONETARY power extension expected to pass.

WASHINGTON, June 20 (U. P)). —Senate Democratic Leader Barkley (Ky.) said today there was “a good chance” that the Senate Finance Committee would act on the $1,644,300,000 tax revision bill before nightfall. Moving with unprecedented speed, the Committee considered more than half the provisions of the bill which scraps the undistributed profits tax as a business appeasement move at its morning session. An afternoon meeting was ordered in the hope of completing work today.

The measure, imposing a flat 18

per cent tax on corporations earning in excess of $25,000, was ap-

proved by the House yesterday in|

record time. The House vote was 358 to 1, with Rep. George H. Tinkham (R. Mass.) the only dissenter. He objected to the “nuisance” taxes. House Republicans sought unsuccessfully to repeal the “nuisance” taxes and the 3-cent postal rate, which returns $100,000,000 annually; reveal the undistributed profits tax as of Jan. 1, 1939, instead of permitting it to expire Jan. 1, 1940, and make provisions on carry-over of Jocses applicable to 1938 business operating reversals instead of those incurred after Jan. 1, 1940. Emerging from the Finance Committee room at noon, Senator Barklev smilingly told reporters that there was “a good chance” that the bill would be reported to the Senate late today. Congress must send the measure

to President Roosevelt for SIigNAUWI® qs. 15 of the Government should |

before July 1 in order to prevent expiration of the nuisance taxes and the 3-cent postal rate. Senator Barkley said doubted if the Committee wou make other than minor, administrative changes in the bill.

40 Votes Claimed

Against Money Power

WASHINGTON, June 20 (U. P.). Senator Adams (D. Colo.) predicted today that 40 Senators—not enough to defeat it—would vote against granting President Roosevelt a twoyear extension of his power to devalue the dollar.

Threatens to Force Action If Committee Delays Much Longer.

By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, June 20.—Objecting to delay by the House Judiciary Committee in acting on the Hatch bill barring political activity in relief and by Federal employees, Republican Committee members today planned an attempt to force the measure to the House floor. Led by Rep. Earl C. Michener (Mich.) and Rep. Clarence E. Hancock (N. Y.), they sought to obtain from the Committee assurances that the legislation would be taken up by the Committee at an early date to be set definitely. Failing this, it was indicated a motion would be offered making the bill, which passed the Senate unanimously two months ago and which was reported favorably by a House subcommittee two weeks ago, the Committee's first order of business at a meeting within da week.

Amendments Proposed

Both Republican and Democratic friends of the measure charged that (the bill was being bottled up deliblerately. But Rep. Emmanuel Celler [(D. N. Y.)., acting Judiciary Committee chairman, said legislation now being studied by the Committee /must be completed before the Hatch bill can be considered. With Rep. Arthur D. Healey | (D.

CHICAGO, June 20 (U. P).—A week ago the McDermotts of Nevada, broke and hungry, were found disconsolately curled up for the night in a park. A sack of rocks for their pillow. Today they learned those rocks were worth $600 and that they owned a $200,000 bonanza. Tom McDermott, a young prospector, found an abandoned mine ‘near Las Vegas, Nev. several {months ago.

As Officers

There was a good deal of ticket scratching as the boys voted for their state officers. James W. Newman, Franklin, Federalist candidate, was elected lieutenant governor by 24 votes over James Edward Guinnup, Seymour,

Gary Boy State Secretary

James Martin McNamara, Gary, Nationalist candidate, was elected secretary of state by 22 votes over Ralph Stover, Marion, Federalist candidate. John Jewett, Shelbyville, was elected treasurer, beating his Nationalist opponent, Glenn Eugene Mast, Elkhart, by only two votes. Floyd Michael, Columbus, was elected superintendent of public instruction over Gilbert Edgar Chapman, Crawfordsville. Nicholas Bryon Spornick, Gary, was elected Auditor over his Federalist opponent, Dick Hunter, Franklin, by one vote. The only other Federalist elected was Dick Minnick as a Supreme Court Judge. Other Nationalists elected were Richard Fuller, Pleasant Lake, Supreme Court clerk; John Gallematti, Gary, Supreme Court reporter; Harold K. Krost, Charles McCool, Harold Eugene Hawkins and Howard Sale McPike, Supreme Court judges, and Clarence A. Clutter, Harry Frank McNaught, Robert 1. Parker, Norman B. Evans, Hugh Walter Hough and Francis Joseph Teders, Appeals Court judges.

Campaign Is Hot The campaigning was hot and heavy this morning before the polls opened. Taking a cue from Democratic and Republican “swing” cam- | paigners, supporters of Freeman formed a “little German band” ‘which paraded up and down the camp streets. | Not to be outdone, McFaddinites {hurriedly rounded up several groups of musicians—half a dozen horns here and a couple of drums there— and sought to ‘swing’ their way into office. The election winners will be inaugurated into office this afternoon. Tonight, Charles W. Kearn, winner of the State oratorical contest, will speak at the General Assembly. Tomorrow's program includes a discussion on national government by Howard M. Meyer, dean of councilors; a talk on the duties of

NEW SPENDING BILL

TO GO TO CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, June 20 (U. P). —Administration sources indicated today that bills for a huge nonbudgetary, spending-lending program would be introduced in Congress before adjournment to give committees opportunity to study them during the summer recess. Although there had been hope of getting action at this session, lack of agreement over the method of out the program has caused delay.

Hiranuma at the imperial palace. It was understood that Japanese were particularly anxious over the American threat to publish details of negotiations on bombings, believ= ing that American opinion might be influenced toward American intervention in the Tientsin dispute in support of Britain. Earlier, Sir Robert Craigie, British Ambassador, protested to Foreign Minister Arita against indignities inflicted on Britons at Tientsin and demanded that the Japanese lessen the severity of their drastic search-

Times Phot

“And ladies and gentlemen, we propose to ——” The campaign between the Federalist and the Nationalist Parties at the Indiana Boys’ State, State Fair Grounds, was hot today. John McFaddin, Rockville, Federalist candidate for Governor, drew a crowd with a German band and then campaigned. He lost by 170 votes to Richard Freeman, Crawfordsville, Nationalist candidate.

Richard Merrill Freeman, 17, Crawfordsville, today was elected Governor of the Indiana Boys’ State at the State Fair Grounds by 170 votes. He was the Nationalist Party candidate and defeated John B. McFaddin, Rockville, Federalist candidate.

GERMANS BEGIN BIG MANEUVERS

Feverishly Push Military Preparations Along Polish Frontier.

BERLIN, June 20 (U. P.).—Germany has started large-scale troop maneuvers throughout the country and was reliably reported today to be feverishly pushing its eastern fortifications along the Polish frontier. The troops will be on the move throughout the country during the summer and the Army wi'l have been brought to an approximate total of 1,500,000 at the climax in September. The number of workers on the eastern fortifications were practically doubled recently by the drafting of new large numbers of builders, military engineers and labor front workers. Well-informed Nazi sources expressed the view that two speeches made by Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels at Danzig during the week-end marked the beginning of a new offensive for a settlement with Poland. These sources believed the climax will come sooner than expected. Germans denied that the maneuvers were adjusted to any political time table. Observers recalled, however, that last year’s maneuvers, whether by chance or otherwise, had brought the Army to peak strength just at the most critical point of the Czechoslovak problem. By coincidence, news of the maneuvers came at the same time as a prediction in responsible Nazi quarters that the return of Danzig to Germany was now “a 100 pe cent certainty.” It was hinted that the British-Japanese dispute in the Far East might hasten this development.

F. 0. R, THREATENS SPECIAL CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, June 20 (U. P.). —President Roosevelt was understood today to have informed Congressional leaders that he might call a special session of Congress unless new neutrality legislation is enacted before adjournment, a conference with Mr. Roosevelt that he is emphatically opposed to mid-July adjournment if it means postponing revision of the neutrality law until 1940. He is so insistent upon enactment of a substitute for the present law, it was indicated, that he may call a special session for this purpose if necessary. The House was scheduled to take up the Administration neutrality bill of Rep. Sol Bloom (D. N. Y.)

next week.

The extreme Nationalistic newspaper Kokumin denounced Sir Archibald Clark Kerr, British Ambassador to China, in an editorial today and asserted that he would not be safe if he entered the zone of war action in China. Sir Archibald has been under an extraordinary personal guard at Shanghai for a week. The newspaper said: “Kerr's assistance to the Chinese Government, by abusing his extraterritorial rights and accompaning Gen. Chiang Kai-shek (the Chinese leader) like a shadow, has screly irritated the Japanese Government. “Private quarters and the Army are so incensed that it is remarked that in event he enters the tactical area his safety can not be guaranteed.”

British Warship

Reaches Tientsin

TIENTSIN, June 20 (U, P)— The British warship Sandwich arrived today as tension mounted over the stringent Japanese blockade of the British concesssion, the mounting scarcity and price of food, and the contemptuous treatment of Britons by Japanese troops. In the latest incident, five British youths were stripped for the amusement of a Chinese crowd, British sources said. The Sandwich arrived to join the Lowestoft, already off the Tientsin Bund. Both are escore ships. Food prices jumped in some cases as much as 900 per cent. Vegetables, eggs, butter, ice and milk were especially scarce. In the hope of appeasing the Japanese the British were deporting suspected anti-Japanese terrorists, -who have been in refuge in the concession, to Hongkong.

Seek to Ease Populace

The British also formed a radio committee to calm the settlement population and ease the tension. The incident of the stripping of the five young Britons caused indignation in the concession.

The youths were trying to leave the British Concession by the Woodrow Wilson St. entrance, on their way to the country club, it was asserted, when the Japanese halted them. Japanese authorities asserted that all negotiations to settle the incident had been suspended.

Urge Chinese to Leave

Anti-British posters were displayed at Japanese barriers before the British Concessions, urging Chinese to leave the concession area. Previously, Japanese had permitted Chinese to enter but made it difficult for them to leave, in order to intensify the food shortage. dance will be held at 9 p. m.

Reprisals Prepared If Japan Is Stubborn

LONDON, June 20 (U P.).—The Cabinet’s Foreign Affairs Committee today outlined preparations for reprisals against Japan because of the Japanese blockade of Tientsin but it was understood the reprisals would be applied only in case Britain’s gestures of peace are rejected. Britain is anxious to settle the Tientsin dispute locally to clear the way for the handling of a much larger issue—whether Japan intends to try to seize control of all foreign areas in China. A British spokesman denied reports that the Far East is being brought into the British-Soviet talks at Moscow designed to bring Russia into a triple defensive alliance with Britain and France. The spokesman said further that if the Japanese halt British ships bringing provisions into Kulangsu, the blockaded foreign settlement at Amoy, the British probably would use naval convoys.

13TH IN INSURANCE Indiana ranks llth in population but 13th in life insurance payments, according to Morley H. Ringer, Hoosier Farm Bureau Life Insur-

ance Co. manager.

WASHINGTON, June 20 (U. P). — Glamorous Tallulah Bankhead, actress-daughter of Speaker William B. Bankhead, today hugged “Uncle John” Bankhead, Senator from Alabama, and begged him to filibuster against the relief bill unless the Federal theater project is revived. Miss Bankhead led a delegation of professional actors, writers and producers to the Capitol to protest against a House provision in the $1,735,000,000 relief bill which would end such productions as the “Swing Mikado.” “Uncle John,” she whooped as the Senator entered the room. She threw her arms about him in an embrace that made newsmen and photographers blink. §

Tallulah Bankhead Hugs He Won't Filibuster for WPA Theater

“Uncle John,” a member of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee considering the bill, was noncommittal. “I'll disown you,” she threatened. “You had better do it for me after this,” she said, giving “Uncle John” another big hug. “I'll bet Daddy will be jealous,” she said, thoughtfully ignoring the envious reporters. With a quick change of pace, Miss Bankhead—Mrs. John Emery in private life—launched into a serious discussion of the theater project. “This is no time to be flippant or joking,” she said. “We hope and pray that this won’t come to pass” she said of the threatened extinction of the theater project. “It seems unfair that we should be the only ones made to suffer.”

Returning to the threat of a Ali

buster, the actress said that she would make “Uncle John read the life of Gen. Robert E. Lee to Congress, if it takes two years.” “Uncle John” was not easily convinced. “Why, Uncle John,” his niece said, “of course you'll vote to do something for the unemployed actors.” “No, I don’t think I will,” the Senator replied. “These city fellows in Congress never vote to do anything for our farmers. Sol Bloom and that whole crowd always vote against farm bills.” “Sol Bloom will do exactly what Daddy tells him to do and he'll vote for the farmers,” Miss Bankhead promised. “Anyway, Wwe actors shouldn’t be punished for what Sol Bloom does. We give benefits for the \ mers all the time. We'll give oe ht now!” Ak

dropped and his support would be thrown back of the President. With this statement, Arch Bobbitt, State Republican Chairman, today said Mr. McNutt “has branded himself as a New Dealer. “By his statement,” Mr. Bobbitt said, “Mr. McNutt has indicated that he is committed to the Roosevelt policies and to the idea that the Presidency may become a lifetime job. “I am happy that Mr. McNutt has clarified the issue in this manner. Heretofore people have been in doubt concerning his plans. They did not know whether he, if elected to the Presidency, had a program that might actually aid in bringing recovery or if he merely intended to follow those policies that have produced nothing but turmoil, confusion, uncertainty and discontent.” Meanwhile, McNutt backers were to meet today in the Indianapolis Athletic Club to form a committee to conduct a public reception for Mr. McNutt on or about June 30,

CLAIM ANOTHER UNLOCKED CELL OF VELMA WEST

Ohio Reformatory Officials Say Smuggler Aided Blond’s Escape.

MARYSVILLE, O., June 20 (U P.);

| |— Officials of Marysville Women's * | Reformatory said today they had | established that Velma West, 33,

hammer slayer of her husband, who escaped with three others, had the

: | assistance of another prisoner in

unlocking her cell early Monday. Prison officials reported to the State Welfare Department that Mrs: Lenora Leach, 26, who had been sent to the Reformatory for smuggling hacksaws to her former husband in the Gallipolis jail, had aided the escape of Mrs. West after the frail blond had written that she wanted “one little adventure in this dull life of mine.” Had Denied Seeing Her

Mrs. Leach had denied seeing Mrs, West escape even though she sleft on a cot in the corridor just oute side the latter’s cell. Her story was not believed and she was placed in solitary confinement. Another prisoner was allowed to talk to Mrs. Leach in her solitary cell and, by listening to their cone versation, officials learned that she had unlocked Mrs. West's cell with a key which the hammer murderess had given her. The cell door could be unlocked only from the outside. Mrs. West, it was established, then unlocked the cell of at least one other of the three who fled with her. Several Tips Given Officers

Ohio authorities ran down nue merous tips today in their search for the fugitives. While the search was being exe tended to bordering states, Mrs, Marguerite Reilley, reformatory superintendent, whose chief policy has been humane rehabilitation of prisoners, took rigid disciplinary measures. Mrs. Reilley ordered that all prise oners wear uniforms. Before, she allowed honor prisoners to wear pretty print dresses. Velma West escaped in one of the “honor” dresses.
