AMMUNDSEN TO
USE AIRPLANES
In POLAR TRIP

Seattle, Wash, Oct, 12.-Capr
Road Ammundsen, discoverer of the
South Pole and conquerer of the
northeast passage, will use airplanes
in an effort to reach the North Pole,
if present plans for drifting past the
top of the world prove impracticable,
II. H. Hammer, his representative
here, announced today.
Capt. Ammundsen has already OBJ
tanned the services of two Norwegian
2viators who will sail with his ship,
the Maud, when it leaves Seattle next
May to resume its interrupted far
northern trip, according to the an
nouncement. The two planes to be
used in the expedition are expected to
arrive here early next year.
The explorers original plans for
the expedition, which is operating un-
der the auspices of the Norwegian
government. called for a five years
drift with the arctic ice pack. The
Maud left Norway more than two
years ago, but last year was caught
in the northeastern Siberian passage
and was brought to Seattle for re-
pairs.
Mr.. Hammar said the decision to
use planes would not alter Capt. Am
mundsen's plans for drifting with the
polar ice pack.

FINAL VOTE ON
REVENUE TAX IN
NEXT FEW DAYS
Indications Now Are
That Democrats and
Republicans Will Be
Able To Get Together
ard Decide On Such
Amendments AS Are
Certain To Pass Both
Branches of Congress

Washington. Oct. 12.-An agree
ment with Democratic leaders for a
final vote on the tax revision bill the
last of next week or early in the week
following is to be sought soon by
Chairman Penrose, of the senate f.
nance committee. If such an arrange
ment can be made Senator Penrose
believes the measure can be sent to
the president before the end of this
month, although this would give less
than a week for Il conference agree
ment between the house and senate.
The compromise agreement by Re
publican leaders has met most of the
objections to the original bill by the
Democrats, but the minority leaders
arc prepared to make a fight for a
graduated income tax on corporations
and for reductions in the taxes On
individuals having incomes of less
than $4,000.
There also is Il movement on the
Eemocratic side for some sort of a
substitute for excess profits tax. The
Republican leaders are determined to
repeal this tax and they expect prac-
tically Il solid majority vote on this
provision as we'll as the Is per cent
corporation income tax. Republican
leaders in the house are inclined to
insist on the house rate of 1912 per
cent and this difference will be fought
out in conference.
