Senate Votes To
Defer Tax Cut
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Jan. Il. - The
senate finance committee voted to-
day to delay further action on the
$500, 100000 tax reduction bill until
after March 16, so treasury receipts
can be inspected.
The action was taken by a strict
party vote, all Republicans favoring
;he delay and Democrats pleading
for immediate action.
The steps were taken by Republi-
cans upon advice of Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon who complained
tnat the large reduction provided in
the house bill would jeopardize the
treasury financial system unless
March Is returns Indicate a much
larger surplus this year than has
been expected.
The committee also voted to take
up the alien property bill on Mon
day.
Decision for delay in the tax bill
the measure will not be considered
in the senate. Democrats have re-
course to a vote on the senate floor,
but the majority there is against
them.
Independent Republicans of the
farm bloc generally favor the ad-
ministration of plan of delay and
they would vote against any Demo-
cratic movement for immediate ac-
tion.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Repub-
| licans in both houses of Congress
blocked today the efforts of Demo
Gratis to push action on tax reduc-
tion and downward tariff revision.
Republicans on the senate finance
committee voted unanimously to ov-
erride the demand of Democratic
members for immediate action on
| the tax reduction bill. The Repub.
licans supported Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon, who advocated a
delay until after March 10.
House leaders acted quickly to
bury the McMaster tariff reduction
resolution adopted by the senate
yesterday. When it was officially
presented to the house, Democrats
tried to get it up for consideration
by the committee of the whole
house.
( Failing they then tried to have
it referred to the house ways and
means committee. A motion by Re,
publican Leader Tilson to table this
last proposal carried 1873 to 164 and
/ there the McMaster resolution is
expected to lie throughout this ses-
sion of Congress.

BY DAN CAMPBELL
nited Press Staff Correspondent


LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17.-Search
Marion Parker, through which po-
lice hope to obtain missing links in
the evidence against the killer,
William Edward Hickman, was Civ
en- new impetus here today.
Following the report Of two small
boys that they had found the wear
ing apparel in Elysian Park, near
the spot where portions of the
child s body was discovered, detect
ives were assigned to begin new
search.
The boys reported that they found
the shoes and stockings in a small
bundle, but upon opening it, consid-
cred il of no value and threw the
contents away. The children in
formed their mother, Mrs. X. Davis,
who in turn notified police.
Whether mental examinations Of
Hickman would be continued today
became question after the youth
refused yesterday to talk to either
state or defense alienists. His de-
cision not to be interviewed was
made by the flip of a coin.
When alicnists appeared at the
jail Hickman said he would decide
whether he would talk to them by
flipping coin. On two occasions
turned "heads'. 1t turned "tailso
both times and the young slayer
went into scclusion in his cell.
Meanwhile the Los Angeles Ebell

fluential women s organizations in
the country passed a resolution de-
manding that "the courts of Justice
mcte out justice to the perpctrator
of the most terrible and revolving
crime in the criminal history of the
state of California. -
Gets Mystery Package
The resolution did not name Hick
man but its meaning was clear. An
other resolution protested against
the showing of motion pictures de
picting Hickman s capture and re-
turn here.
What is feared by Hickman, to
have been an attempt upon his life
was received in the form of sealed
package at the county Jail today.
The mystery package, which the
! young slayer believed might con.

machine, was sent by mail collect

the Governors attitude toward
