CONGRESS ALL
SET TO OPEN
LONG SESSION
House, Senate Leaders in
Prediction of Speedy
Tax Cut Action.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
. United Press stan Correc pendent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-In a
happier mood than at the end Of the
special session week ago.. congress
is reassembling today for the open
ing of the long session Monday.
Tax reduction is to be the first and
biggest order of business. The lead
ers of both the house and the senate
have become SO optimistic during
the brief recess, they predict a law
will be enacted within two weeks
making the taxpayers a Christmas
gift of $3.50, 100000.
Reductions of l per cent all along
the line will be made effective upon
payments for March, but speedy en-
actment of the legislation is planned
in order that business houses may be
assured of it in planning their budg-
cts for next year.
Less Than Fifty Words
A resolution of fifty words or less
now is being framed by the legis-
lative drafting service for Chairman
Hawley of the house ways and
means committee. He will intro
duce it as soon as the house is
called to order at noon Monday II
it is ready by that time.
His committee will meet WedneS-
day to hear Secretary of Treasury
Mellon as matter of form. Mel
lon is to tell the committee the state
of the nations finances, he be-
lieveS, warrants the reduction he
has recommended.
Some of the mid-western indie
pendents feel the measure is "a
Wall Street tax reduction" al
though it's proposed l per cent
slash would affect all taxpayers alike
They are dissatisfied with 1t, but
they realize it is exceedingly diff
cult to fight tax reduction.
Not to Oppose
Assurances that the coalition Re-
publican group would not contest it
was offered by the coalition leader
Senator Borah of Idaho. Il am IN
favor of all tax reductions" he said
The senate Democratic leaders al
ready have expressed their approval
An effort will be made to delay
again the seating case of Senator
Elect Ware (Rep., Pa and a test
over the question whether it should
be considered is expected Tuesday.
Immediately after the disposition
of the Ware case, the senate will
turn again to the tariff. Senator
Smoot hopes to get this out OF the
senate before the holidays, but his
optimism is not shared by the other
leaders who feel they will be lucky
if they send the bill to conference
by mid-January.

itself into the district meeting.

save expense he would call the
district meeting for the same time
as the county meeting.
Rogers Changes Mind
Rogers earlier in the day had told
Mrs. TuteWiler the district meeting
would not be called for several days
but evidently alarmed at the pos
sibllity that the state committee
would be drawn into a fight if the
district meeting would be held
without call, he capitulated and
called the meeting.
Immediately upon the call for
motions for nomination for district
chairman, Charles Mcpherson, for
mer Tenth ward chairman, who
was Ousted several weeks ago.
sprang to his feet with motion
that precinct committeeman be per-
m-tted to elect ward chairmen
hereafter.
Mrs. Tutewiler called his atten-
ton to the fact that this was a
district meeting and that the mat
ter should have been introduced at
the county meeting.
Pauley nominated Taylor and
some one shouted that the nomina-
ton be closed.
Mrs. TutewiIer Balks
Mrs. Tutewiler refused to ac-
knowledge this motion.
1.-THE chair will not acknowledge
this motion until all nominations
have been made"
No others were made, and Taylor
was declared elected unanimously.
While he prepared to make a
speech, the audience filtered out and
a few minutes later the great re-
organization and publication" of
the Republican organization was
over.
During the entire program a

LONDON, Nov. 30.-A new explos-
i've, said to be more powerful than
n.troglycerin, but safer to handle,
has been discovered by Professor
A. Stettbacher of Zurich, Switzer-

The new discovery is the result
of years of experimenting. The
Swiss inventor has produced a new
chemical mixture, of which nitro
glycerin forms 20 per cent. DR.
Stettbacher claims that his explos-

nitroglycerin and that it does away
with the dangerous liability of ex-
ploding on the slightest knock or
friction.

CONES, Isle of Wight, Aug. 22. --Seaplanes of four nations, with the speed of bullets built into them, will hurtle through the air here September and T in an in- ternational assault on existing speed records.
 To the swiftest will go the Schneider trophy for seaplane speed. first offered by the French sportsman and pioneer in avia- tion, Jacques Schneider. It is to be- come the permanent property of the nation which wins it three times in succession. So far no na- tion has been able to win it more than twice
 Twice, in 1920 and 1921, Italy captured the trophy; only to lose it the following year to Great Britain. Twice, in 1923 and 1925, it went to the United States. In 1927, when the race was held in Venice, Flight Lieutenant Webster won it for Great Britain with a speed of 281.49 miles an hour.
 This year speeds well over 300 miles an --our, are expected.

PARIS, Aug. 26.-Foreigners liv- ing in France are out of luck under the new rent law recently put into effect. Only those who served in the allied armies in the war have the same standing before the law as French tenants. The others, and they form the majority, are left largely to the landlords mercy.
 They can be turned out into the street when their leases expire whereas the French tenant is giv- en a propagation of his tenancy, the duration of which varies in indi- rect proportion to his rent. Those living in expensive apartments have two or three years in which to look for another place, while vil- lagers who pay only a few hun dred francs a year for their lodg- ings can hold on eight or ten years more, laughing the while at the landlord.

 She procured heavy army pistol and turned it on him firing six shots and then turned the gun on herself but the m gazine was empty.
 The police on arriving found her over the body of her husband, cry ing:
 q loved him dearly"
 The women told the police that the newspaper story was the first inaimation she had that de Vidal was married while he courted and won her after she failed to win the Galveston contest.

 Half a million spectators throng- ed the Lido when the race W..o il Venice. Twice as many are ex- pected to see it here. Already all the hotel accommodations in Cowes have been reserved.
 One ocean liner has been reserv- ed for the Royal Aero Club, in whose hands are the arrangements for the contest, and several other liners will be turned into grand stands for the event.
 France, Italy and Great Britain will have full quotas of three planes each in the race. The United States has only one plane to en- ter. It will be piloted by Lieut. Al Williams of the Navy. Preliminary trials will take place Friday, September 6, and the race will be flown the next day. Afte. the trophy event, the pilots repr ,- senting the participating nations will attempt to lower the worlds speed record over measured course above the Solent. Speeds of $40 to $50 miles al hour are confidently expected 1T this event.

The speed of Schneider trophy winners has increased remarkably since the first race in 1913, when Provost won for France with an average speed of AT miles an hour. Other winners and their speeds were:

lNEW FRENCH RENT LAW
 HITS FOREIGNERS HARD

Not so the foreigner. If the owner tells him to pack up and leave, he must do just that. If he wants to stay, he is likely to pay the price the owner demands. For others the rent is fixed, in old houses, at 150 per cent above the 1914 figure, but not for him. He signs the dotted line prepared by the landlord, or sends for a van
 Meanwhile the average French tenant sits tight. His rent is being raised this summer, it is true, but if he pays the new legal advance in the price of his lodgings, no landlord can budge him, whatever others may offer for his apartment.
 In a way the law has been a grim joke on the foreign ex-sol- dier. The average landlord would rather have an ex-enemy as ten ant than an eX-ally, for he can't get rid of the latter once he turns over the keys to the front door,

OVER SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.-The Graf was sighted off the Farallon Islands by marine lookout at 6:02 o'clock last night and a few min utes later was sighted from the Presidio heading directly through the Golden Gate and then nosed gracefully through the cloud bank. the sun glinting the slivery sides.
 Thousands crowded the San Francisco hills.
 Coming in the bay, the Graf swung directly over the city above Market Street. Airplanes swarmed about her.
 A radio station asked the ships operator if he liked the city and the answer came back in German, "Yes, very much"
 The ship went on skirting the Presidio without returning to the Golden Gate and headed southwest. The visit over the city here was less than an hour.
