Roebuck <fo Company, one of the largest mail order houses in the nation, tonight announced pay ment of an extra quarterly divi dend of $1.75 in order to avoid the tax assessed upon corporation earnings not distributed as divi dends by the 1936 federal revenue act. Regular dividends have been $2.00 a share. In a letter to stockholders. General Robert E. Wood, president of the huge firm, revealed the company's income for the 1936 fiscal year would be well over $500,000,000. compared to $276. 000.000 for the same period in 1932. Citing the surcharge imposed by the federal revenue act, Wood wrote: "in the opinion of your officers and board of directors, the com pany is not justified in paying such a large surtax, to avoid which the major portion of our earnings must be distributed to the share holders." Wood also revealed substantial bonuses will be paid the company's 50.000 employes at Christmas time and that capital stock will be in creased from 5.200.000 to 6.000.000 shares as further means of avoid ing the new federal fax Mrs. Simpson Divorce (Jose Trial Today ?/ Trial Is Exported To Ton some Only Tito To /.T Mijmlcs Ipswich, Eng..

Mrs. Simpson successfully eluded the press and has been in seciusion. presumably in the vicin ity of Ipswich. She must appear personally when her case is called. Her husband is not likely to ap pear. He is not defending the suit. Persons close to him said he would. ?pend tomorrow with friends in the country, and planned a com bined business-vacation trip to , the continent soon.

The report said the lines were being established entirely for civil purposes, but League circles pointed out that the resulting aviation bases also might accom modate fighting planes. Fortifi cation of the islands is prohibited. Various nations have charged that Japan was fortifying the is land group, strategically import ant because they extend 1.300 mlies north and south across the Pacific, cutting the line of com munications between the United States and the far east. Japan has admitted deepening i harbors in the Islands, but has in sisted this was done for commer cial rather than military reasons. | It has strenuously denied building fortifications or establishing sub- i marine base?

Under the new policy, Russia intends to maintain a fleet of fighting planes larger than the combined strength of her two classic enemies, Germany and Japan. The new policy is reminiscent of that followed by Great Britain on the sea for a decade before 1914, a contributory factor in causing the World war. London rigidly insisted on having a fleet equal to the combined navies of the two most powerful European nations, whichever they might be in a given year. Russia's move toward suprem acy in the air, diplomats here be lieve, results from events of the last three months which have weakened its military position. They were: 1. Remilitarization of the Rhine land by Germany, making it dif ficult for Russia's ally, France, to aid it in event of war with Ger many. 2. The cohesive strengthening of the fascist bloc in Europe and their open declarations of hostility toward Moscow. 3. The apparent reorientation of British policy in favor of Ger- ? many. 4. The weakening of Russia's ally, France, as the result of Bel gium's declaration of neutrality and the possibility that the "Little Entente" states, French allies, may follow suit. Soviet Russia s new air policy, while not outlined in detail, will be based on two fundamentals, it was understood: equality with Germany in European Russia and superiority to Japan in the Far East. The general staff In Moscow long has been convinced that it wouid have to fight Germany and Japan, if at all, simultaneously. The Russians oelicve there is, if not a treaty of alliance, surely a military working agreement be tween Tokyo and Berlin. Both arc accused of ilaving designs on So viet territory. At present, Russia is believed to have an air force of approximately 5.000 planes. Many of them are sbsolete. Japan's effective strength is 2.100 ships. Germany has made i secret of its air strength, al though it is known to have been increased greatly within the last >rear. To realize its "two-power" >tandard, it was believed the Rus sians will not have to increase .astly their present total strength, jut probably will be forced to re dace a number of obsolescent jlancs. In outlining Russia's new policy, he United Press' informant em jhasized it was purely defensive. Hie U. S. S. R., it was said, is in .ensively preoccupied at home in juilding up its domestic economy md lias no desire for war. But Soviet officials fee! they must be prepared for all eventualities.
