Jan. 22. —The big fight in this session of the General Assembly is not going to be over the retention or repeal of the sales tax. but over the reduction of the rate of tax from three percent or two pet cent, accord ing to many members of both houses and to outside observers. Not the an ti-sales taxers have decided not to put up a fight for the repeal of the tax both in the finance committee and on the floor of both houses. They are j going to fight and fight to the last ditch. They are even going to present other taxation plans by which an ! i equal or a larger amount of revenue ! can he raised. But most opinion among the more conservative members is that there is I at present a fait working majority in both houses for the enactment of a sales tax and that some form of the general sales tax will be retained lar gely because ther e docs not seem to he any other wav to raise the amount of revenue needed by hte State for the next two years. It is expected of j course, that. Dr. Ralph McDonald, re presentative of Forsyth and regarded i as the spokesmen for the anti-sales | tax forces in both houses, will offer j ! a plan to substitute a graduated fran- ! chise tax that wil| get a great deal 1 more mony from the large foreign . corporations.

Jan. 22. —The hunt for new j sources of revnue to replace the State 1 sales tax may lead to legal whisky in North Carolina, say som members of the legislature. Such a move would, of course, ally the anti-sales tax group with the re pc il forces. Together they might ar ray a formidable force against propo nents of the stringent Turlington act. With several members frankly on the fence on both the sales tax and the ' liquor problem, a coup may be effect ed by which such an alignment could put across a legal whisky plan. Advo cates of a. whisky-control plan, similar • to that in effect in Virginia, state that the minimum amount of new revenue to be expected from such a plan in !

STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington, Jan. 22.—Congress will j be in session for two solid years if it ! does all the legislating desired by President Roosevelt. The White House j tenant was warned of that at a re cent conference between himself and leaders of his party on Capitol Hill. A dozen or fifteen of the lawmak ! ers, including folk like Speaker Byrns Acting Floor Leader Edward T. Tay lor, of the House of Representatives, Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson of the Senate and Vice President Gar ner (who, perhaps, does not exactly class as a lawmaker, but was there. | anyway), were present, at the gather ing. Just which one of them gave the President to understand that his program will require a great deal of i discussion, to he carried out in its ! entirety, is not revealed.

J., j H n. 22.—(API—. Thed efense brought testimony of a plaster cast of a foot into the trial °f Bruno Richard Hautmann today and claimed it would show Haupt mann was not the man who collected the $50,000 Lindbergh ransom money in St. Raymond’s cemetery, th e Bronx on April 2, 1932. Edward J. Reilly, chief of the de fense counsel, elicited the informa tion about the case in renewed cross examination of the Federal Agent Thomas H. Sisk, just, after the State had won a major victory in gaining admittance of the Lindbergh kidnap ladder into evidence. The State objected to Reilly’s ques tions as to whether a footprint had been taken at the cemetery. “I submit,’’ the defense chief de clared, “that it was not Hauptmann's, and under the rules of evidence wh should be entitled to ask this witness what he knows about it.’’ Justice Thomas W. Trenchard ag reed. “I learned that a cast of a footprint was taken,” Sisk said, but added: “There is no positive connection be. tween that and the man who took the ransom. It was taken on a fresh grave near a retaining wall about ten or twenty feet from the point where Dr. John F. “Jafsie” Condon said he turned the money over to St. ‘Ray mond’s cemetery.

Twice before the State offered the ladder and the defense succeeded iri . barting it on the grounds it had not been sufficiently identified or suffi ciently connected to Hauptmann.

(API- Two mote residents of the Sourlaud country surrounding the home of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh today identified Bruno Richard Hauptmann as a man lurking in that vicinity be fore the kidnaping and murder of the aviator’s infant son. Millard Whitted, a logger, with a farm next to the Lindbergh estate, testified in Hauptmann’s trial that ! he saw him on two occasions withini a forthnight of th e crime, and Char les Rossiter. of Maplewood, N. J., testified he saw him on a. road near the Princeton airport, about 14 miles from Hopewell, four days before the baby was stolen from its crib.
