REVENUE BILL
Is ASSURED OF
AN EARLY VOTE
Democrats Will Permit Pass
age by March Is, Even
Ii Program Fails

Washington, Jan. l4.--(R)-United
action in the senate apparently is as
sured for passage of the revenue bill
so that its tax reduction provisions
can be applicable by March Is. when
first income TAX installments are due.
~ reply to suggestion from nation
ar Democratic party leaders that SEN
ate Democrats press for early action
even ut the expense of success of
their substitute program for in
creased reduction. Senator Simmons
OF North Carolina, ranking Demo.
crat on the finance committee, has
agreed not to permit the substitute
to stand in the way Of prompt pass
age Of the bill.
Will Ask Bigger Reduction
The senator declared. however, he
would propose amendments to the
bill to increase the reduction to $780,
100000 or $l7O,0OO,OOO more than
provided by the house bill.
Senate Republican leaders have
declared they will seek early passage
of the bill and substantially as drawn
by the house.
The finance committee, however,
which still has the measure under
consideration, devoted today to hear
ing representatives of the special
committee which Investigated the in
ternal revenue bureau and which has
requested several administrative
amendments.
Completion of the measure Mt the
end the week was predicted.

DAMAGE FROM
TIDAL WAVE
WIDESPREAD
Belated Reports Tell Of Havoc
Wrought at Remote
Fishing Village

Bangor, Maine. Jan. l4.-lR)-Frcsh
reports Of freak tidal wave which
first reused considerable scientific
interest through its action at Bass
Harbor indicate that damage may be
more widespread than originally
thought.
From the remote fishing village
of Corea, on the northeastern Maine
coast, comes news that at about the
same time Saturday that the phen-
0menon was observed at Bass Harbor,
q monster wave smashed lobster cars,
tore boats -adrift. and washed thou
sands of founders from their winter
beds in the harbor bottom mud. These
fish were gathered up in barrels by
the natives.
No Disturbance Recorded.
The tidal wave was preceded by q
rushing flood tide several hours ear
lier. At Bass Harbor, so miles west.
the action of the water followed .
rumhling noise which led to the
theory that it had been caused by .
subterranean earthquake, but the
seismograph at Harvard University
showed no record of the disturbance.
The water rushed out. taking with
it big cakes Of ice. A few minutes
later the tidal wave swept up from
the ocean.
Old fishermen agreed that the
phenomenon was probably known Is
"b0re" wave. Conflicting tides,
high winds and the configukotion OF
the shore were suggested as possible
explanations. 9

Monkeys Actually
Talk, Declares
Explorer

Monkey talk" is not just.
an idle phrase; it really
exists, according TO Reuben
Castang, veteran explorer
and animal trainer, who sup
plies many of the monkeys
used in filming motion pic
lures in Hollywood.
"While it cannot be said
that animals have a real
language, it is unquestionably
true that the monkey people
transfer thought by the use
of certain elemental sounds" /"
Castang claims. "The vary
ing infection and intensity
Of these sounds produce a
wide variety of meaning"
Two of Castang's prize
chimpanzees play important
bits in Douglas MacLean's
latest comedy, "Hold That
Lion" at the Palace tomor-
row. Both animals were cap
tured in Africa by their
present owner and he demon
strated his monkey talk"

A century ago there began in
the American theaters the first
self-conscious groupings of form
OF entertainment destined for
worldwide popularity. In Decem-
Der, of 1926. in the city OF New
York, at the Lafayette Theater,
Laurens, near Canal Street, there
was offered for the first time in
Manhattan a real variety pro-
gram, a collection Of divers brief
acts, such as had in previous
years served as interludes between
the acts of legitimate productions.
It was an interesting and impor-
tant experiment. soon followed by
other New York houses. notably
the Mt. Pitt Circus, on Grand
