Secretary Mellon. who insisted that the
tax reduction OF $500 900 900 voted by
the House must be trimmed by the
Senate to 1901 900. 600 at the highest
With the solid support Of the Repuh-
lcsn majority on the committee, Chair
man Sn,oot proposed at the outset
today that the $20l. 100000 limitation
be adhered to- No vote was taken, but
Senator Smoot expects the figure to
be approved.
Votes for Tax-Rcduction Bill
Yv unanimous vote the committee de-
el6ed 10 report q taX-re0uction bill,
ouieting reports that the legislation
night be sidetracked in view of the de-
roands Of the Treasury that the reduc-
tion voted by the House was too large.
Senator Simmons OF North Carollna'
ranking Democrat on the conmlttee,
argued today for cut OF $500, ,ooo,o
and urged that at least the House Dill
should be accepted.
Senator Barkley, Democrat OF Ken
tuckv. asked the committee 10 cut the
corporation tax from lSl2 per cent TO
II Der cent and this was defeated. II
10 . on a strict party division, with the
Republican majority opposing the mo-
ton. Senator Simmons then proposed
the iI1s per cent rate. which was ap-
nroved by the House, but this lost by
the same vote.
IL Fer Cent Rate Ordered.
The motion of Senator Edge. Repuo-
Hcan of New Jersey. for a II per cent
rate carried IL to g. On this vote, Sena-
tors Reed. Pennsylvania, Shortridge,
California. and Couzens. Michigan. Re-
puhlicanS voted with three Democrats,
Simmons. North Carolina, King, Utah,
and Barkley. Kentucky, against. The
three negative Republican votes were
understood to be in favor OF the l2l2
Der cent rate, while the Democrats who
opposed the u per cent provisions
wanted a lower rate.
Plunging ahead at full speed on the
bill. the committee was hopeful of final
action possibly within week which
would set a record for revenue legisla-
ton. In the interest Of speed 1t was
decided to abandon any open hearings.

per cent OF those applying for police
work in San Diego before any elimina-
tions were made for low intelligence.
Charges Misinterpretation.
The bureau charges that the crime
commission misinterpreted the Cleve-
land figures in arriving at the conclu-
sion that IS per cent of the patrolmen
were of low intelligence.
Other conclusions reached by the
bureau show that there is evidence
pointing to the conclusion that many
of those with very high intelligence do
not make good police officers. that the
highest maximum pay is generally too
low to attract the best type of man,
and that although politics enter into
appointments to supervisory positions
admission to the force is usually made
without regard TO political considera-
tions. It concludes that weakness in
police administration in large cities is
not due to politics and low intelligence
as much as to lack OF the social
attitude"

PLENTY OF DOCTORS
Connecticut Has One Physician to
 Every ITS Inhabitants

Tn Connecticut there is one physi- elan to every ITS inhabitants as com pared with one doctor to 753 people in the United States, according to United States Interior Department statement based on figures furnished by the American Medical Association. Figures are based on a 1925 popuia- ton estimate.
 Vermont has one doctor for every 666 inhabitants; Maine, to 402i New Hampshire, to 753; Massachusetts, to 663; and Rhode Island, to S70, accord ing to the A. M. A. figures. In Great Britain. the Interior Department states, there are LOST people depend ent on one physician for medical at tention; ,359 people in Japan; l,94O in Germany; and $500 in Sweden.
 In the United States, as in other countries. there has been tendency during recent years for physicians to locate in cities rather than in rural communities, the department states. The old country doctor is becoming rare. and if it were not for the greatly improved means of communication and travel--the telephone. iTtsFarban ears, and the automoblle--rural districts would suffer from the lack of medical treatment, the statement continues. Under modern conditions, however, physicians from towns and cities can furnish medical care for much larger areas than they could formerly
 The complaints heard are not so much as to the lack of medical service, but as to the increased charges for the physicians' services because of greater travel distance.
