FRENCH D|R|G|BLE GIVEN UP AS LOST
Commanders Body Found, But Hope For Others Are
 Still Held Out

PARIS, Dec. 2S.-(By Associated Press s.)-"The Dixmude is lost beyond returns but we have not yet given up hope of finding some urvivors," said an official spokesman for the French ministry of marine, a high ranking officer, this evening.
 This department will continue to make every effort to search every nook and corner of the north African wilds, and to inpect every mile of water between Sicily and the Gulf of Gabes before all hope is abandoned"
 Further details have not reached of ficial circles in Paris other than that contained in the brief telegrams telling of the discovery by fisherman off Sciacca, Sicily, of the body of Lieutenant Du Plessis de Grenadan. commander of the missing dirigible. The ministry of marine, however, is confident that with the arrival at Sciacca of the French naval attache from Rome the mystery seems at least partially solved.
 The officials are convinced that unless the commander was killed in student accident before strlh- ing the water he will have about his person the log of the DiXmude or at least written notes which will explain the lack of advices from the craft since it was last heard from just a week ago when a radio message gave it's position as 100 klometers southeast of Touggourt, in Algeria

Sea Captains Tell Of Gale
By FRANCISCO REA pased Wire to The Age-Herald)

ROME. Dec. 2S.-As Italian war ships join in the search off Sicily for bodies of the crew of the Dixmude, Mediterranean steamers, arriving at Italian ports, bring word of the great gale in which the dirigible apparent ly met her doom.
 The captain of the Italian steamer Porto Di Allessandria reports that on the night of December 23 he picked up wireless distress signals of the giant aircraft. A tremendous gale was blowing, and the captain esti- mates the wind velocity at 150 miles an hour.
 His ship was battling heavy seas on the Naples-Benghazi route to AfricL when the airship's signals were first heard. After the first signal two more distress messages were picked up, coming at brief in tervals. No further word was re- ceived.
 The storm is still raging in the lower Tyrrhenian and Ionian seas, and vessels en route to Egypt and the Near East have been held up for the past three days.

COURTESY BREACH
 |S LAID TO CLARKE
Publication Of Klan Letter Before Receipt At White
 House Criticized

WASHINGTON, Dec 2S.-(By As sociated Press. s.)--Action of E. Y Clarke, former high official of the Ku KluX Klan, in making public a letter to the President prior to it's presentation at the White House, was criticized today by a spokesman for President Coolidge. who asserted that such a course tended to indicate that the communication was written more for publicity purposes than for con sideration by tn executive.
 MT. Coolidge, the spokesman said. was thoroughly familiar with the methods of those who seek publicity by directing a letter to the President or some other official. The spokes- man indicated that no attention would be given MT. Clarke's letter. other than that the routine acknowledg- ment of it's receipt forwarded today to the former lSlan official.
 The acknowledgment made by Nr. Coolidge merely said that the letter had been received and read with in terest." In his letter Clarke de- clared "an element" of the klan was dlverting the organization From it's original ideals and his services were at the disposal of the President in any endeavor to remedy the exist ing evils"
 The presidential spokesman in ex- pressing his criticism of Clarlie's ac- tion emphasized, however. that while MT. Coolidge always resented rubIi- cation of letter addressed to him rrior to its receipt, because it violated the principles of ordinary courtesy. such publication would not prejudice the President in considering any communication possessing real merit.

Never Before Has Measure To Acquire Revenue Been Given Out Before Formal Presentation On Floor
By THOMAS l.. STOKES

Ueascd Wire To The Lgc-HcraId)
 WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S.-The Mel lon tax bill, now made public in it's entirety. of S3 pages of voluminous detail. is a much broader measure than at first appeared, and provides sweeping changes affecting every tax payer from the poor to the rich.
 Publication of the document fol-e lowed row in the House ways and means committee, precipitated by democratic members. who wanted the bill made public. This is the first time that this committee mas made a revenue measure public before it went 10 the floor of the house. The bill means, broadly:
 Reduction in taxes for every citi- Zen, to take up the surplus of $510,- 00O,000 in the treasury.
 Plugging up present leaks by which taN-dodgers are depriving the government of from sixty to one hun dred million dollars.
 Creation of board of tax appeals which will aid the taXpaper very ma terially. composed of from seven to 2S mem bers and sitting at variou. points in the country.
 Getting taxes from certain sources, which have hitherto been exempt. trusts, estates, partnerships. corpora tions, and making stock" include shares ill an association, joint stock company, or insurance company. Lifting Nuisance Taxes.
 Removal of nuisance" taxes, which affect the individual pocket book of every citizen-on moving pictures and other theatre admis- sions, on telegrams, telephones and leased wires.
 In addition to the cutting of normal income tax rates from 4 to 8 per cent and from s to $ per cent, and the reduction of surtaX rates, chief in- terest centers about the measures for plugging leaks in the law, which the committee is now studying and which, it is estimated will bring from sixty to one hundred million will i'll the end, affect the small tax payer as basis for future reduc- tions.
 Principal among these are:
 A provision making the spouse, who controls the property, pay the tax. In eight states, man and lis wife now can each make separate returns. This makes tho tax return smaller. as separate tax for instance. on $10000 each, is less than the tax on SlO0,O00. It is estimated that S25.O00,000 will be added in this way.

Corporation X, for instance. with S10.000 assets, reorganiZes and creates new corporation; B, with assets of $50,000, which pays taxes under the present law on the SIO,000. The new law requires payment of tax on the S40,000 difference.
