REDUCTION IN
INCOME TAXES
is FORECAST
President Feels Estimated
Treasury Surplus Would
Warrant Rate PAIRING

Washington. March 70. tP) =
President Coolidge believes the tax
payer, just recovering from the
worry of filling out an income re-
port, stands good chance Of hav-
ing his obligations to the govern
mcnt reduced before this job is
tackled again next year.
He feels that the estimated treas
ury surplus, probably in excess Of
$500, 100000 for the present fiscal
year ending June 30, would warrant
Il pairing Of revenue rates by con-
gress unless some unforeseen cOntin-
gency should arise.
The presidents view is based on
the recent prediction by Secretary
Mellon that the governments in
come would run about half billion
dollars above its expenditures.
Urges Delay in Drafting Bill
While Mr.. Coolidge proposes to
let the treasury and the lpuse ways
and means committee, which have
original jurisdiction in tax matters,
take the initiative in deciding how
much of a reduction may be effect
ed and on what rates it would ap-
ply, he does believe that the draft
ing of new bill should be deferred
until November, a month before con-
gress convenes.
This would enable IA more accur-
ate gauging Of business conditions
and the state Of the treasury. con-
sidered highly important by the
president, as he has been advised by
one revenue expert that 10 per
cent slump in business activity
would wipe out the prospective sur
plus.
The plan is in line with views Of
cOngre SIS ional leaders and Chairman
Green, Of the ways and means group,
already is making arrangements for
in advance of the next session.

tiOns and One Is Used as
MOrGue

than score Of persons were killed
and at least so injured, many severe
ly. by tornadoes and high winds
which swept southwestern Missouri
and northwestern Arkansas last
night.
Sixteen were known dead. IL were
reported missing and 80 more in
jured at Green Forest, Ark, by n
tornado which wrecked the business
district and devastated nearby farms.
Fire broke out following the tornado,
destroying canning factory and
several houses.
Nine were reported killed at Den
yer, Ark. village about IL miles
northeast Of Green Forest, which is
100 miles south Of here.
Much Property ijamage
Two persons were injured and
buildings were damaged by tornado
near Marshfield, in Webster county,
Missouri. Hail and high winds also
damaged buildings and crops in
Howell and Oregon counties.
Reports indicate losses will
run heavy Throughout the Green For
est district. Special trains were en-
route to the area today, carrying
doctors, nurses and supplies.
The storm apparently centered at
Green Forest, where upwards Of 700
houses and stores were destroyed
or badly damaged. Streets were
filled with debris which hampered
rescue crews.
Two churches were converted into
dressing stations and one later was
designated as Il morgue. Sixteen
bodies had been recovered early to-
day
Power Lines Demolished
As the storm severed power lines
as well as telephone and telegraph
wires, rescuers stumbled about with
lanterns, tracing the cries of injured
or marking spots where people were
believed pinned or buried by stone
and timbers.
Hail and wind shattered windows
in almost. all business buildings, on
the square and in practically every
home.
No effort was made to comba.
the fires.
The entire population, that portion
who escaped the storms fury, was
milling about the streets during
early morning hours, waiting for
daylight to reveal the true picture
of disaster.
Women, some hysterical, some
scantily clad, crying children cling
ing to them, rOamed the streets. The
men were doing their bit toward re-
covering bodies. Lanterns flashed
here and there through the streets
and motor ears and strctchers bear

10 Miles of Marking
(By The Associated Press J

The Cantonese war machine is
closing it's pincers about both Shang
hal and Nanking, overnight dis
patches indicate.
Nanking, on the Yangtze river, is
being approached both from the west
and south, while similar encircling
movement is in progress against
Shanghai with Cantonese thrusting
from the southwest, at the same time
attempting to cut the railway be-
tween the two cities, northwest of
Taihu Lake.
One report, through London, is
that the drive from the southwest
toward Shanghai has reached Sung
kiang, 20 miles away, while an exo-
dus of panic stricken Chinese from
Marking lends weight to the Can
tonese claim that they are 10 miles
from that city.
Peking advices are that the gen.
eral strike set for noon today in
Shanghai, to continue s'until the ma
tionalists occupy the city," failed to
materialixc on schedule time, the

Permitted Unless Buhl Is
Brought Here

Bismarck police authorities have
abandoned their search for 100000
which Frederick Buhl, Jr.. told New
York authorities he hid in St. Mary's
cemetery here.
After having his sexton dig a few
exploratory holes beside some of the
tombstones, Father John Stag, rector
off st. Mary's church. told him to
quit late Friday afternoon.
His action was based on news dis
patches stating that a psychologist
had declared Bull to be psyche
logical liar"
When informed that the American
Express company had verified Bulbs
story to the extent Of stating that
robbery actually had occurred,
Father Stag said he would permit
no further digging in the cemetery
unless Buhl is brought here and
points out the spot where the money
is buried. The cemetery has been
SO rearranged that Il squad of men
might dig for months without find
ing the money, even if it were defi
nitely hidden there, he said.
At the same time he made arrange
ments with the police department to
prevent intrusion by treasure hunt

Ford, Editor Claims
ADJOURNED TO MONDAY


Detroit, Mich, March 19.-(P)-
Henry Ford's opinions are yet to be
uncovered in the 100000 libel suit
brought in federal court here by
Aaron Sapiro.
A battery Of lawyers, on their feet
ut every attempt to lift the lid for
peep into the brain of the auto
mobile manufacturer, have success
fully blocked virtually all questions.
Two facts about Ford were learned,
however, in the few minutes his edi-
tor, William J. Cameron. was on the
stand yesterday. He regards soviet
Russia with lenient eye while his
weekly, the Dearbon independent, is
opposed to Bolshevism.
"DO you ever hold any conference
with Mr.. Ford?" asked William
Henry Gallagher, attorney for Sapiro,
land if so, were the policies of the
paper discussedR"
Usually Disagree
"Only in most general way" re-
piled Mr.. Cameron, "and I can't re-
call any discussions except when we
have differed with him. For instance
Mr.. Ford is against war and the pa
per is for preparedness. Ford also
looks on the Russian people with a
lcnient eye and the Independent is
opposed to Bolshevism."
Gallagher picked him up eagerly
"You mean Mr. Ford Is pro-soviet ~
Il didn't say that" Cameron cor
rected. II said he was more lenient.'

objected and was sustained.
Adjourned to Monday
Attorney Gallagher then said j,
would be necessary for the records
Of the publishing company to be
brought into court before he could
proceed and the case was adjourned
until Monday.
The crowds that attempted to get
into the courtroom yesterday broke
all records. All semblance of order
