and Councilmen D. L. Bartlett and
G. H. Maxon expressed the convic-
ton that it should be removed be-
cause the city's official memorial IN
honor Of those who laid down their
lives In the World war stands atop

was only a temporary memorial

Alderman Judd was elected chair
man of the committee and 1t was de-
cided to meet at 1880 next Wednes-
day evening when. it is hoped. Al
derman Maerz and Councilman
Greene will be present. Councilman
Bartlett said he can understand the
sentiment that is said to exist in
certain quarters. in favor of retain
ing the Court Of Honor, but with
the 100000 memorial in the same
park. he did not believe it should be
kept. He would favor gateway or
arch or some other marking of an
appropriate nature at the park en-
trance, and Alderman Judd suggest
cd that ornamental lamp posts
might be erected. Councilman
Maxon said he heard considerable
sentiment in favor of maintainin.
an arch across the roadway at the
park entrance.
The members considered the feast
bility of holding a public hearing on
the matter at hand. Councilman
Bartlett said he believed no assis-
lance in solving the problem would
be derived from such a gathering
because it was generally expected
that the Court Of Honor would be
taken down and In all probability
only those who favored keeping II

lion Mark for First Time
Since Close OF War
NO TAX REDUCTION IN SIGHT
Public Expenditures and Farm
Relief Have Share in Ad.
ministration Plan

Washington. July 2o.-(R,-Political
observers today regarded the result Of
. white house investigation Of prob.
able increases In government expendi-
lures during the next four years as
practically blotting out any likelihood
Of any early recommendation from
the administration for further tax re-
duction.
The estimates submitted the white
house by government agencies after
. study Of congressional appropria-
tions and other mandatory obligations
indicate an increase Of approximately
$500. 900 900 In that period. with addt-
tional expenditures authorized for the
army and navy, public works. postal
deficit and farm relief accounting for
much of the rise.
II It materializes the increase Is
expected to raise the total Of govern
ment expenditures out Of ordinary re-
ceipts above the $4,000, 100000 level
for the first time since the relaxation
Of heavy war expenses. The total
reached $3,848, ,463, ,l8o In the last fiscal
year, and the increase for the cur
rent year is estimated at SOL 800, 900.
The estimates leading to the $780,
100000 increase figure include $780,
100000 for farm relief and $l39, 800 900
for the army, navy, public works and
postal deficit. Extension Of aviation
activities. new cruiser construction
and capital ship requirements pro-
vide the basis for the prospective in
crease charged to the navy, but this
is subject to q decrease in the event Of
. naval reduction agreement.
Aviation expansion also figures In
the army increase estimates, together
with rebuilding Of quarters, while the
rise in postal deficits. threatening to
continue. is attributed to lower rates,
increased wages and decreased hours
of employment.
While there is hope the inor6ase In
dtcated for the navy may be cut down
through international agreements, the
opposite Is true with respect to public
works expenditures, which include
river and harbors improvements. flood
control. Boulder Canyon Dam con.
struction. the public building program
and public roads.

Potter and the man whom he was
accused Of Staying were admittedly
warm personal friends. Webb visited

drove his car to the Potter home. he
was shot In the abdomen with shot

The defense claimed that there was
and could have been no motive for
Potter shooting his friend but that

been drinking together early In the
evening. The shooting. the edfenie
contended, was an accident and was
due to Potter's befuddled condition Is
the result Of drink.

fired. That he ordered his wife into

so. leaving Webb unaided Ia the
