u. S. WILL ABANDON
S34,0Ol,ODO CLAIM
Treasury Officials Do Not
Plan to Further Press Suit
for Taxes.
By the Associated Press.

by tne ASSOCAhJeu fESSS.
Treasury officials are preparing the
final papers upon the issuance of
which the Government will formally
abandon any further attempt to coll
lect about S34,00O.O 900 from former mi
nority stockholders of the Ford Motor
Co., among whom is Senator Couzens,
Republican, Michigan. No official an
but parties to the long and hard fought
contest over the collection attempt were
agreed that the definite announcement
would be made shortly.
Accepted $4,000, 900 Tax.
When Henry Ford several years ago
bought out the entire minority holdings
in his motor company enterprise the
Government accepted {. payment of ap-
proximately $20,000,000 from the mi
nority as income tax on the transaction.
Senator Couzens and John and Horace
Dodge, automobile manufacturers Of
Detroit; John w. Anderson and Philip,
Paul and David Gray and Mrs. Rosetta
House, Senator Couzens' sister, were
among those involved.
The Treasury reopened the whole
proceeding, and though Senator CouzenS
charged he was being attacked in the
matter for political reasons, demanded
payment of $34,000000 additional. The
Government brought its case before the
board of tax appeals, which body ruled
last Spring that the minority had paid
taxes in full and in addition indicated
that they had overpaid their taxes on
the transaction by approximately ST.
100000. The case was also taken into
the Federal courts by Alice Kales, an
other member of the minority group,
who won a directed verdict against the
Government.
Appeal Action Not Taken.
There is still time for the Govern
ment to appeal the tax boards decision
to the Federal courts, but Clarence M.
Charest, general counsel for the Bureau
of Internal Revenue, said no appeal had
so far been taken. At the same time
revenue collectors involved exchanged
correspondence with minority members
indicating that the matter was to be
dropped completely.
At the law firm of Butler, Lamb
Foster & Pope, representing the Ander-
son minority interests. it was said that
no notices of the Governments intent
had yet been received.
Under the provisions of the act gov
erning tax board decisions, the Govern
ment is entitled to six months for fur
ther proceedings in the courts If officials
are dissatisfied with the board ruling
While this time has not elapsed, there
was every expectation that no further
step would be taken to press the claim.

Great Confusion Is Expected in China
As Western Calendar Is Ordered Used

tions swept the country. AS far as the
calendar was concerned this was inef-
fective except that the western system
is used in official documents and by a
small group of the educated classes.
The merchants cling to the lunar
calendar because the months are shorter
and those who are paid onfa monthly
basis, as in the case of rents. receive
greater revenues.
A majority of Chinese Of this genera
ton were born under the lunar calendar
and do not know their corresponding
birthday dates In the western calendar.
This confusion is one OF the principal
reasons that the 'fufl adoption Of the
western system is exceedingly difficult.

Federal officials were going over the
lengthy testimony already taken at two
inquiries into the sinking of the Vestris,
a survivor of the disaster today filed
suit in Federal Court for $4,000 DAM
ages against the owners and operators
of the vessel.
The complainant was Orrin S.
Stevens of Boston, who asked an award
of $4,000 for the death Of his wife,
Vestris victim, and $4,000 for the loss
of his baggage. He alleged in his COM
plant that the Vestris was unsea-
worthy, that she was improperly loaded
so as to cause list, that she was in
competently manned and that she was
not supplied with proper life-saVing
equipment.
Stevens makes his home in Buenos
Aires, where he manages a branch of
the First National Bank of Boston. He
announced yesterday a plan for organ
izing the rescued passengers into a
committee for joint legal action.

aster. Stevens also filed libel against
the Liverpool, Brazil & River Plate

Vestris, and the Lamport g. Holt Line

Federal Judge Bondy an order for sub
poenas directing 123 members of the
ships crew to appear for examination
on Monday.
Federal Attorney Tuttle's inquiry into
the sinking Of the ship resumes its ses-
sion Monday, while the Federal Steam
boat Inspection Service hearing reopens

No indication of how long the investi-
cations are to continue was given. Mr.
Tuttle said he planned to call Leslie
Watson. second officer of the Vestris, as
a witness as soon as the officer was
able to leave the hospital, where he
has been patient since reaching this
city on rescue boat.

LONDON, November 24-The gale
which buffeted the British Isles and
Northwestern Europe yesterday and
today, causing some loss Of life and
great property destruction ashore and
on the waters from the Western Coast
of Ireland to beyond the Danish PENN
sula. was still blowing with menacing
violence tonight. In most of England,
however, it had dropped to moderate
force.
The Air Ministry, in survey of
prospects, warned that more stormy
weather was on the way and predicted
that cold would be an unwelcome ac-
compartment to the angry winds.
Near Hurricane Force.
|. Ireland, England, Scotland and
Wales all experienced the destructive
might of the gale. which often ap-
preached hurricane strength. The
coast of France from Dunkirk to Bor-
deaux and the western parts of Den-
mark also felt the fury of the winds as
they ragged up the channel and across
the North Sea.
Huge seas on the Atlantic were de-
laying liners to and from Northern
European ports, while every cove and
sheltered nook along the coasts was a
haven for fishing craft and smaller
vessels. At Plymouth there was hun
dred miles an hour gale which held
back the Hamburg American liner
Alicia, bound for West Indian and Gen.
trail American ports. Bantry said that
the harbor there was feeling the effects
of the third day of the storm, and that
all Irish shipping ! was indefinitely
delayed.
Heavy Rains in Scotland.
Unusually heavy rains accompanied
the destructive winds in Scotland. The
railway bridge on the main line be-
tween Edinburgh and Perth collapsed
today as a result of the abnormal rain
fall but traffic was rerouted.
The Isle of Man. suffered under its
worst tempest In many years. Numer-
Gus roofs were ripped off and steamer
service was delayed by mountainous
seas.
Telegraphic communications in North
err Ireland and England were de-
moralized.
The British Channel was still very
rough tonight, but the steamer services
we're operating to and from France
Captains of the cross-channel boats re-
ported that they were having much
difficulty
Denmark tonight reported that about
80 fishing boats had not been accounted
for. The west coast of that country
got the full force of the gale and the
heavy seas demolished dykes and
flooded considerable areas of lowlands
The gale seemed to be somewhat abat-
ing in Denmark tonight.
