woman, said to be approximately

fight, and Miss AAbbie PARROT,

Both are employed in the finance
division of the office.
Stitches In Head.
AS a result Of the fight Mrs.
Williams is said today to have had
three stitches taken in her head at
a local hospital. 1t Is alleged that
the wounds were inflicted by q
window pole.
While the fight Is under in
vestigation by chiefs OF the Pension
day to shield details from the
newspapers
The story Of the fight, which is
being whispered in corridors OF the
Pension Office, today follows:
Mrs. Williams, a healthy young
woman who Graves a breeze to
relieve the tension of the gen.
orally overheated Pension Office
workroom, has for some time irked
Miss PARROT by insisting on
copious ventilation.
Miss PARROT resented what she
regarded as the effrontery Of Mrs.
Williams in subiecting her to
draughts and probable sickness.
Fast and Furious.
The climax is said to have come
Tuesday afternoon. While the en-.
counter is said to have been brief
it is also said to have been fast
and furious.
It was indicated that the investi.
cation was still on regarding the
matter and IL any action Is taken
1t will be after Mrs. Williams re-
turns to her work.

the division, steadfastly told a re-

Miss PARROT declared that ut

to tell any of details. she said
1t was all over.
A reporter for The Washington

Doctor Morgan, of the Personnel
office of the Bureau, when the re-
porter attempted to verify the
names of the alleged combatants.
Doctor Morgan refused to furnish
the information and declared "1t's
poor policy to magnify this little
incident"
This is the second fight to occur

counter between two employees Of

COMMITTEE WILL
GET DOWN TO WORK
ON TAX REVISION

Washington, Nov. 1.-(AP)-After
two weeks Of consultation with repre-
sentatives Of taxpayers and prominent
economists, the House way and means
committee will start work this week
on actual revision Of the revenue law.
The public hearings will be contin-
ued tomorrow and Tuesday and on
Wednesday the committee will go into
executive session to apportion the re-
auctions and eliminations which are to
take off the federal tax burden.
Income taxpayers will receive the
major share of the relief, Secretary
Mellon already having proposed re-
duction of S140,000,OOO in these levies.
Most of the remainder of the available
surplus for reduction will apply to spe-
cial taxes on various forms of business
and to the inheritance tax
No preliminary bill has been pre-
pared and leaders of both. parties on
the committee have declared they want
to see a measure worked out in COM
niittee on non-partisan basis.
The committee has asked Lincoln C.
Andrews, assistant secretary of the
treasury, to appear tomorrow for tes-
timony on the alcohol tax. Retail
druggists and proprietary dealers have
urged a cut in this rate, declaring the
present tax provides extra profits for
bootleggers but hampers legitimate
business, while the United Drug Man
ufacturers Association has opposed
any change, contending a reduction
would increase the production of harm
full connections to be sold as medicine.
