PRESIDENT FAvORS
AUTO TAX REPEAL
Change of Attitude Removes
Obstacle Before Levy Re-
duction Bill.
nv Ana Assnclaied prcss.

BY tho Associated Press.
One OF the long major differences over
taxation apparently has been settled by
President Coolidge, who, after consistent
opposition to the proposal of the in
dustry. now stands ready to approve the
section in the tax reduction bill repeal
ing the per cent automobile levy.
The repeal. written in the s29G. .000.-
600 reduction measure voted BY the
House and approved by the Senate
finance committee, which has sane
toned a cut of $4,000 900. thus Is as
sured Of enactment when the bill comes
up for final action. The Democrats are
almost a unit for repeal
Up Next Thursday.
Chairman Smoot OF the Senate conf
mittee has promised to get his measure
before the senate next Thursday. and
predicts final conference action Within
a week or 10 days.
The Presidents change Of attitude on
the automobile levy, which produces
66.000,00 year. is said to have been
brought about only because he realizes
1t Is the duty Of Congress to determine
how the Nations revenues shall be
raised While still opposed to repeal of
the tax, which he believes should be
employed 10 raise SUFFICIENT funds at
least to meet Federal appropriations for
road building. amounting 70 $75,000,0 900
annually, he Is not going to turn against
the tax bill on that score alone.
The Presidents lone concern Is that
Congress should see To it that sufficient
receipts are forthcoming 70 meet the
expenses of the Nation. and he regards
the s203 ,0OO, 900 Senate committee meas
ure as safely within the limits pre-
scribed by the Treasury.
Corporation Tax Is Issue.
The biggest obstacle now III the path
of the tax bills enactment Is q conflict
Of opinion on the corporation tax.

Mai. Idzikowski and Maj. xubala had
announced that they woul" make an
all-day test flight over the k'acoast of
the biplane in which they hope to fiy
TO New York by way Of the Azores.
Some persons, however, thought that
today's hop-of might be the actual
start for America since the plane was
fully fueled and carried food enough
for such venture.
So secretive had the flyers been dur
ing their lengthy preparations in
France that aviation experts continued
doubtful even after the plane had dis
appeared as to whether the men were
testing 1t or flying for New YORK.
Plane Thoroughly Tested.
The thoroughness Of the tests already
given the plane was one of the reasons
advanced for presuming that the Poles
might keep on going over the Atlantic
IL they found their 650-horsepOwer
motor working right and the wind and
weather favorable.
The airmen had inquired fully as to
meteorological observations last night
and they felt sure flying conditions were
good today when they started. They
told mechanics. however. that they PLAN
ned to fly only until dark.
The plane few straight northward
after rising from the ground easily
with only a few mechanics watching
tor the region around Dunkirk. From
their inquiries among other ayiatOrs II
was deduced they intended 70 have q
good look at the French coast, swing
ing east and then south.
The plans for the Polish tranSat-
lantic flight have been under way fol
more than year under the auspices Ol
the Polish ministry of war. During this
