ASK COUNCIL TO
APPROVE S1.16
CITY TAX RATE
Increase of 6 Cents Over
1929; Mayor SIaSheS
Budgets.

City Controller Sterling R. Holt
today indicated he will ask city
council approve of a 1880 city tax
rate of about $1.16, an increase of 6
cents over the 1929 levy
This preliminary estimate was
made on the basis of figures COM
piled after department budgets have
been slashed in conferences with
Mayor L. Ert Slack, and is subject
to change. 1t is likely that the city
general rate will be IS cents, an in
crease of is cents oveer last year
due to a jump in interest on bonds.
IF the council can cut the bud
get any more it is o. k" Holt COM
nented.
Oppose Increase
Edward H. Harris, council finance
chairman, said no consideration had
been given to the budget, but indi-
Gated the city fathers will froWn
on any increase.
You should hear the people talk
about increases. Down at Cincin-
natl they are cutting expenses and
getting lots for their money" Har-
ris commented.
Wholesale reductions in depart
mental requests have been made by
the controller and mayor, but an
Scent increase in the rate for sink
ing funds is required, in addition to
the general fund interest jump.
Further cuts are expected to be
made in several departments if
possible.
100000 Item to Be Cut
Police Chief Claude M. Worley
and Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell
have been called into conference.
Slack said the 100000 equipment
item probably will be cut from
Voshell's budget. The mayor said
he will ask council for bond issues
to build two fire stations if the city
fathers favor it, pointing out the
money can be reappropriated next
year by the city manager form to
obtain funds for equipment.
Stacks budget calls for a $4,000
contingency fund to meet emer-
gency expenses under the city man
ager plan. The general fund re-
quests totaled $5,460,567 before the
controller started cutting.

ANDY MAKES FEW
 GENERAL REMARKS
AprOpOS Of Nothing at All He
 Gets Ideas 0if Chest
(Contributetd) )

In this disarmament business more bombing planes simply means that Uncle sam doesn't expect too much of his fighting battleships after christening them with bottles of graps juice.
 One reason why the manufactur- CTS who put vibrators on the market 10 shake off the surplus haven't had things their own way is because they must still compete with Hcnry's s old models.
 If this fistic craze among the baseball players continues the open ing games of the season will find the heavywcights trottinG out on the field with gloves on both hands and accompanied by seconds with water pails, spongcs and towels.
 Doctors fool us no moro with those long medical terms. No mat ter what they call it We all know that q sneczc is merely tho body squeak of q cold shifting into high gear.
 A book of etiquette helps. But the lad who gave the toast to the bride made his big mistake in not knowing she was on a diet.
 The chap who said Milady's short skirts have their uses but it takes a grape fruit 10 give man q real cyeful probably would have never thought of it if he hadn't tired of standing on the curb watching those high trolley car steps.
 For the benefit of those who left school in the sixth grade as we did, we'll explain that modesty is what keeps the newlyweds who gave a banquet at great expense from men, toning it was at their parents.
 Few people believe in signs. The 'Patronize your neiShborhood store" sign is the one you see in the troll Icy car while riding 10 the next town to do your shopping.
 We confess our only interest in Elancing through the yearly "Nho's Who" is 10 see how many of our friends have gotten in with the 400' since they began counting the last two figures.
 It's just as We thought. The man who is so thoughtful he never snoros for fear he'll disturb his 5iumbor is related 10 the chap who built his house around a street lamp so he could get free light and then stayed up all night so it wouldn't be wasted.

 New York, Dec. 2S UP)-Thc Indian national congress. voicing the sentiment of a majority of the people Of India, will doclar" for complete separation from England. for independence and for the im- mediate establishment of rcyolu- tonary government of India.
 The action will be taken when the plenary sessions of the congress be- gin at Lahore on Sunday.
 Such is the only conclusion that can be drawn from a resolution de- fining SWaraj (thc home rule move mcnt as meaning absolute inde- pendence," which, with the approval of Mahatma NJ. K. Gandhi will be introduced in the important sub- jccts committee of the congress.

Failure of Arms Discus sion Would Hurt Both American and English Administrations - Bus mess Situation Also VeXes.

Washington, Dee. 2S U.p, - President Hoover faces n new yo,, full of knotty problems, both at nome and abroad. Their solutions political observers say. may deter mine the success or failure of his administration.
 Among the more prominent arc prohibition; the maintenance of o heavy foreign trade with the ma 'Iohs criticizing Amcrica's high taflit policy: naval limitation, and government reorganization.
 Another problem is to maintain friendly relations with countries to ,the south.
 Naval Farley in January
 January will bring the London naval Limitations conference, plan ned by Mr. Hoover and Prime Min lster Macdonald of Great Britain. It's failure, observers hold, would hurt both administrations.
 Mir. Hoover has appointed what official Washington considers a strong delegation, including two cabinet members and the demo- cratic senate floor leader. It will be bolstered by naval and diplomatic experts.
 But Japan's insistence on a high CT cruiser strength; Frances belief that all disarmament must even tually DC accomplished under the league of nations, and the reluc- tance of France and Italy 10 discuss submarine limitation all hold hid den snares which must be circum- vented if the conference is to be successful, it is pointed out here.
 The New Year opens with Presi- dent HooVcr's law enforcement com. mission under fire from congress. The president himself recently said, The enforcement of the laws enact cd to give effect to the 18th amend ,ncnt is far from satisfactory" Con- trol Of liquor in a manner to ap- pcasc both vets and drys continues 10 be a perennial White House problem. The administration is working on a program of proposed legislation to tighten enforcement leaks.
 Business Campaign Ncxcs
 Nr. Hoover has undertaken q widespread campaign to stimulate domestic business following the re- cent stock market fluctuations. He enlisted small army of labor leaders and capitalists to aid him. To bring these efforts 10 a success tul conclusion is one of the chief executives biggest tasks during 1880.
 Aside from these minor jobs is q host of small problems the prcsi- dent wants 10 solve. Among them officials mention the building up of q first class merchant marine; get ting the government out of the shipping business; settlement of for cign debts; lowering the cost of the army; obtaining favorable senate action on Americas adherence to the world court protocol: railroad consolidation; and realization of the national capital public building pro- gram.

 CARD DUEL BEGINS
Gould Still We'll Ahead as SVn-
 diCate Raids Bark

Nice, France, Dec. 2S (UP)-Thr seventh day of the most thrillin; gambling duel ever fought in d Ri Viera casino, found 12.O0O.OOO franc, , (S4SO,00O) piled on the baccarat ta blcs of Frank Gould's palace o chance as the initial stakes in las nights game of cards"
 Returning to the casino after : 1 brief rest, the now famous Anglo @rcnch syndicate. taking over tn, 'ank and thus relieving Gould of al rcSponslhility-Sav that of collect. i ing the mouse percentage" which i. itself q fortunc-proCccdcd to buck the Greek machine" headed by NJ Iographos, and within d few hours had won several million francs.
 Excitement Runs High
 Excitement was at a fever pitcl throughout the night. Hundreds ot curiosity seekers milled around the doors and thronged the gamna rooms. Tho pokcr-faced players themselves were forced to enter the casino by side elevators in order tc avoid the crowds, and the identity of most of them thus far has been concealed effectively.
 Some of the independent puntcrs however, are well known, and foI years have figured on the Riviera wherever the play was highest.
 Among them, for example, is the Dutch beauty, Helen Victor, who re- turned last night to attack the bank For two seasons Mile. Victor lost consistently at Deauvillc, in q futile attempt to attack the Zographos ma chine This year she has been lucky
 Also prominent at the tables-for she won 2,000.0O0 francs ($S0,000) yesterday-is Mrs. George o. Wake field, daughter of the late Sir Der. hard Baron and heiress of the Car rcra Tobacco company's millions
 Stakes Million Francs
 But the most spectacular plungcr of all is Mile. Victor, who has more than once startled Dcauville and Nice by smacking down a million francs on one play, winning or losing without a gesture.
 The AngIo-Frcnch combination has now been partially identified. It is the same group Of SpOrtsmcn who in August, startled the Casino al BiarritZ by one of the most daring series of plays hitherto staged, talk ing 27,0o0,0oO francs from the bank in the killing.
 Some of the tension shown by Frank Gould. in whose $5.000,000 casino the wild play is progressing. has been relieved by the assumption of the bank-pcrmitted in baccarat but not in roulette-by the syndi- Catcs who are now opposing each other.
 Gould himself never approaches the tables where the stakes are made. Instead, he walks nervously from one salon o-anothcr, watching the crowds and listening to reports.
