Billion Dollar Tax Bill Under Debate in the Honse. By EDWARD W. PICKARD FIRST bipod !b the contest between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Alfred K. Bralth for the Democratic nomlna Hon for President joes to the governor ur new ior*. me opening round of the battle was provided by the New Ilninie ?hire preferential pri nt a r 1 e s, and Mr. Roosevelt captured the Granite State'a eight delegates for his forces In the na tional convention. Unofficial returns showed the Roosevelt Franklin D. Pledged candidates Roosevelt were elec,ed by a margin of approxi mately 4,500. Since the candidates were voted for separately, the Individ ual totals varied slightly. Four dis trict delegates were elected, two from each congressional district, and each of these delegates will have a full vote. A lighter vote than was expected In the cities to which the Smith forces looked for their greatest strength, to gether with a rural vote generally fa vorable to Roosevelt, combined to make the result The vote of the state's eleven cities was divided al most evenly between the Smith and Roosevelt slates and the 224 towns furnished the majority by which the governor's ticket carried the state. The Smith candidates for delegates at large carried only three cities, Keene, Berlin and Manchester. ' An unopposed Republican ticket, pledged to President Hoover, was elected. It consisted of seven dele gates at large and four district dele gates. - Next came the Minnesota Demo cratic state convention to choose dele gates to the national gathering. Smith and Roosevelt supporters quarreled fercely and the former, finding them selves in the minority, bolted and held a convention of their own which picked a delegation that will vote for Smith In Chicago though unlnstrncted. The regular delegation was Instructed to support Roosevelt C1LONEL LINDBERGH'S baby has not been returned, at this writing, nor has the Identity of the kidnapers lieen made known. This despita the efforts of all agencies In the land, from the federal government down to leaders of the underworld. Negotia tions for contact with the criminals are reported to have been put In the hands of Morris Rosner, a mysterious figure of New York, and current stories say the restoration of the child and payment of the ransom have been delayed by fear of the abductors that they would be trapped. Officials in charge of the case declared they were "still making progress," and privately some of them said they were sure the h^bv was safe and well and would be returned to his parents after the ex citement had subsided. IN THE opinion of the war policies commission, congress should have authority In time of war to fix prices in order to prevent profiteering. This was a vital part of tne report mnae to ine President by the com mission and a consti tutional amendment to that effect was intro duced in the senate by Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michi gan. a member of the commission. It was referred to the Judi ciary commmee. ? The proposed amend- Senator ment oils for an ad- Vandenbera dltloo to the existing Fiftb amendment, providing tbat "In t time of war congress may regnlate or ly-ovlde for the regulation of tbe prices, rem, or compensation to be ex acted or-paid by any person In respect of the sale, rent, or ose of any real or personal property, tangible or In tangible. witbont regard to any limi tation contained In this article or any other article of the Constitution. ~ Shonld corporations or persons suc ceed In evading such a price fixing regulation, the commission suggests a further check on proflta by recom mending a 05 per cent tax on all In come In time of war In excess of the average Income of the preceding three years. WHEN tbe new tax bill designed to raise fl.100.000.000 In Increased rr-eooef bad been presented to tbe house, several complications arose (hat promised considerable debate. Three Democratic members of the ways and means committee submitted a minority report urging that about one-third of the sum be obtained by legalizing and taxing 2.75 per cent beer. These con gressmen were T. H. Cullen and C. D. Sullivan of New York, and J. W. Mc Cormack of Massachusetts. They said they failed to understand a point of view which complacently accepts the taxation of illegal brewing aud wine making through the levies proposed In the present bill on malt sirup, wort, and grape concentrate, yet refuses to agree with a legal tax on legally made beer. Keatoratlon of the brewing In dustry, they argued further, would put thousands of jobless back to work. Representative J. W. Martin, Jr.. of Massachusetts, a Republican, present ed strong objections to the proposed Import levy on gasoline and oil, ami he Indicated that bis opposition to this feature was shared by many repre sentatives from states along the At lantic seaboard. WITH only thirteen opposing votes the house passed the La Ouardia anil-Injunction bill after seven hours of debate in wblcb but two men spoke against the measure. The La GuardLa bill differed in minor particulars from the Norrls bill passed by the senate, 10 the legislation went to conference. When It becomes law the "yellow dog" contracts which bind workers not to organize will no longer be recog nized and federal judges will be lim ited stringently in their powers to quiet labor disputes by injunction. Above these mandates the act declares the policy of the nation li Co ftvor la bor's right to organize and bargain collectively. PUSHED off the front page by the Lindbergh baby kidnaping, the Slno Japanese embroglio still held first place among International affairs.

Meanwhile, It was report ed, large numbers of Chinese soldiers were being added to General Tsui's forces, and In eonaeqnence General Shlrakawa, Japanese commander, Is sued a warning that he wonld reopen hostilities If the Chinese attempted to enter the 40-mlle line held bj the Jap anese. As was foreseen, the smaller pow ers in the league of Nations assembly tried to force the league to take dras tic action against Japan, and were blocked by the great powers, which would be the ones directly affected by ?uch a course. For themSIrJqhn Simon. British foreign secretary, proposed the league should again remind Japan of her treaty and covenant obligations, restating Secretary Stlmson'i declara tion that advantages gained by force cannot be recognized; should take the stand that Shanghai will be cared for by the great powers, and that the Man churtan problem should be shelved for the present. The debate was rather warm, but Anally a committee was ap pointed to draft a resolution express ing the league's attitude and Inten tions. PRESIDENT HOOVER, recognizing the popular demand for economies In government expenditures, announced that the entire administrative stalf was co-operating with congress In trying to cut down federal costs by reorgani zation, but the lionse Democrats work ing on tbe economy plans were not satisfied. Chairman Byrns of the spe cial economy committee called for more specific suggestions from the President. He said the only adminis tration official who had volunteered assistance was Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hlnes. director of the vetenns' admin istration. who proposed "redactions In psyments the burean is now making to certain clashes of disabled veterans.' "Surely the President." said Mr. Byrns, "has bad this information for soma time and the question naturally nrlses why be did out take the re sponsibility In bis message Inst l>e eember of recommending this legis lation which be wrould now have the country understnnd he approves with out stating Just what It is." The senate didn't help the economy plans much, for It passed the agricul ture bill after adding $2,015.1154 to the appropriations authorized by the house. The total of the measure as It left the senate and went to conference was 5177,424,708. Senator MeXellnr, King and Tydlngs tried In vain to knock large sums out1 of the figure; even the $1,450,000 Item for grass hopper control was retained. EAMON DE VAI.KRA Is now the president of the Irish Free State. He was elected to succeed William T. Cosgrave by the dull eircann and look olllce at once. Of the otuia IU IUC UMfiuuijr De Valera's Fianna Fail party holds 72. The Cosgrave party has 56, the Laboritet 7 and the Independ ents. who usually voie with Cosprave. J 7. So De Valera governs only with the help of the I.nbor party, which demands that economic ana social ... _ ^ legislation be given W T Co,0'?v* the precedence. Cosgrave retired from power gracefully, stating thai he and his party would go into opposition but would not unduly hamper the new president It appeared that De ValeraJ was still determined to try to expunge the oath of allegiance to the British king. Whether the Cosgrave follow ing would vote against this or merely refrain from voting was uncertain. INSTIGATED, It was alleged, by William Z. Foster and other Com munists, more than three thousand Jobless men and women tried to storm the Rouge River plant of the Ford Motor company in Detroit. With rocks and clubs they fought fiercely with the police and firemen called out to restrain them, and tear gas bombs did not avail to stop them because a high wind carried off the fumes. Forced back to the gates of the plant, the police finally fired three volleys from riot guns, and the mob took to flight. It was found that four persons had been killed and more than fifty in jured. Among the latter was Ilarry Bennett, chief of the Ford service de partment, who was severely beaten. FRANCE and the world lost a great figure In the death of Aristlde Brland, foremost European apostle of International amity. Worn out by his long years 01 nruuuus labor, he succumbed to uremic poisoning. He was accorded a state funeral but in accordance with his last wish he was quietly buried at Co cherel. his country place. M. Briand, who was nearly seventy years old, had been r 10 HmAA on,I premier ii> innco, au-i . ._... over and over again B i * hod held the post of foreign minister. He was for long a brilliant and active fig ure In French and International af fairs, and his efforts to es-establiati friendly relations between his country and Germany were untiring. He led In the forging of the Locarno pact to 1925 and co-operated with Frank B. Kellogg In creating the anti-war trenty that bears their names. Being an Idealist, be proposed tbe"L'nlted Stale* of Kurope," which Is still a matter of discussion among the nations of the Old world. Germany recognized that In Rrland's passing her best friend in other lands had gone. The United States mourns the death of John Phltlp Sousa, Its most famous band master and "march king." whose music has been an Inspiration and a delight to several generations of Amer icans. For twelve years he was leader of the Marine Corps band, and then he organized hts own noted band with which he toured the World. During the war he was In the naval service, being musical director at Great I-akes FINLAND'S rebellion came to a sud den end with the surrender of the leaders of the I_-.pna movement. The could he revolutionists evacuated Mantsnla. marched to the garrison town of Tusby and laid down their arms. Their chieftains were put tn prison and probably will be tried for high treason. As Is so often the case. It Is suspected that the rebellion was financed by the Communist Interna tlonal. REPORTS from all parts of the country tell of the success attend ing the efforts of the Citizens' Recon struction organization, headed by Frank Knox of Chicago, tn getting boarded money hack Into trade chan nels and thus helping to restore pub lie confidence. <8 sj Wsstsra Htnaagit Lalsa-i Dog Keeps Vigil at His Master s Grave - ?""B.TTOli 1 SINCE the death some months ago of Dr. Robert Steel of Crook, England, the doctor's dog, Shot, has journeyed each day to his master's grave and there keeps vigil until night comes, leaving only for meals.

BURGESS PETEIt RABBIT had run over to the Smiling Pool for a bit of gossip with Grandfather Frog if be were in sight, or with anyone else who might happen to be there in case Grandfa ther Frog was not. He had Just reached the bank of the Smiling Pool and had time to see that Grandfather Frog's big green lily-pad was quite lonely looking without Grandfather Frog sitting on it, and that Jerry Muskrat was sitting on the end of an old log which was half In the water and half out, when he looked toward Peter Saw That In Hit Clawe Was Clutched Something? Something Big. the Green Forest and saw tlie stran ger who belonged to the llawk family beaded toward the Smiling Pool. "Hello 1 Good-by 1" shouted Peter to Jerry Muskrat and scampered for a hole between the roots of the Big Hickory Tree which grows near the bank of the Smiling Pool. Once In the bole he drew a long breath of thank ooiwuWirtoAnonAnAnAnnnoAno fulness. Then he turned and watched the big strailger. whose brond wings were bringing him straight over the . Smiling Pool. "Queer I never hdve seen him try to catch anyone, nor have I ever beard anyone complain of being chased by him," muttered Peter. "I wonder what he lives on." As Peter said later, things happened then Just as if they were In answer to his thoughts. The big stranger was just above the Smiling Pool and head ed straight toward the Big River. Just as he got right over the middle of the Smiling Pool he turned a little circle In the air, seemed to hang there perfectly still for a second, and then with his wings closed he shot down, down, down, so fast that it quite took away Peter's breath Just to watch blm. Peter's first thought was of Jerry Muskrat. Of course that must be who this great stranger with the ugly great claws was after. From his hiding place he couldn't see the Smiling Pool, although It was so near. And so, of course, lie couldn't see Jerry Muskrat. With all his heart he hoped that Jerry saw the danger, and he listened for the splash when Jerry dived Into the water. But there was no splash?that Is, there was no splash by Jerry. Down plunged the stran ger, nnd Peter watched for him to spread ttiose great wings and stop himself. But he didn't do anything of the kind, fie kept right on down and disappeared I Yes, sir, that Is Just what he did, and when he disappeared there was splash enough. Oh, my, yes!" There was such a splash that I'eter could see the water flying high er than the banks of the Smiling Pool. "Why I Why-e-e! Something must have happened to blm and he has fallen Into the Smiling Pool," gasped Peter, staring round-eyed at the place where the stranger had disappeared. As he stared there was another great splashing, and up In the air rose the stranger sending a shower of sparkling drops In all directions. With heavy wing beats he rose and then Peter saw that In his claws was clntched some thing?something big. For jnst a sec ond Peter fe: red to look lest he should see his old friend Jerry Muskrat clntched In those great, crnel claws. Bat be did look, and when he saw that that something was shining and silvery he knew that It wasn't Jerry. It was a flsb, a big flsh 1 Dp, up rose the stranger and then turned, and with great beats beaded straight back for the Green Forest, taking the big fish with him. As soon as be felt that It was safe to do so, Peter came out of his retreat and hur ried to the bank of the Smiling PooL There sat Jerry Muskrat on his old log qnlte as If nothing surprising and un usual had happened. He was munch ing away on a tender lily roof. "What did you run away fori" he demanded of Peter as soon as Peter came In sight "Why. to hide from that fellow, of course," replied Peter, pointing to the direction of the big stranger. "Where did you hide!" 'Hide! lie hide?" exclaimed Jerry, and stopped eating to stare at Peter to see If he were in earnest "What should I hide for? For that matter, what did you hide for? Do yon mean to say you were afraid of that fel low? Ho, ho, ho I That's a Joke. Why. he wouldn't harm a hair of your bead or mine." Peter looked doubtful. "Who Is he?" he demanded. "He's a Hawk isn't he? I wouldn't trust a Hawk as far as I can see one." "That Just shows bow Ignorant you are." retorted Jerry. "That la Plun ger, the Osprey. He Is a Hawk. It la true, but he lives wholly on fish and you haven't n thing In the world t* fear from him. <C 1932. bj T. W. Burs em )?WM7 Service. Setting New Record i Leo J.
