HIGHWAY TRAVELLED

Drives Virtually Between
Lines of Troops on
40.MiIe Trip.
BY the Associated Press.


CUERNAVACA. Mexico, March a.
Speeding over 40 miles of closely
guarded highway. Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh and his fiancee. Miss Anne Morrow,
journeyed from Mexico City today to
his place Of picturesque beauty and
perpetual Spring. They came In an
automobile which the noted aviator
steered with his left hand, his right arm
and shoulder still being out of COM
mission from the airplane "mishap''
which the couple experienced Wednes-
day.
They made the journey in about 90
minutes. beating by fully 20 minutes a
second car in which Ambassador Nor
row, his wife and elder daughter drove
from the Capital The party intends to
remain here over Sunday.
Troops Along Entire Route.
The two machines travelled virtually
between lines Of troops for the entire
distance, although few of the guardians
Of the distinguished Americans were
visible from the roadside. Recent activ-
tiles by bandits in this region caused
special precautions to be taken by the
Mexican government In order to prevent
possible unpleasant experiences to the
famous flyer, his sweetheart and her
family.
Both the Government and the Am.
bassador dislike to have the protection
for such journeys too obvious. AS q
matter Of fact, they would scarcely ad.
nit that the necessity for special guards
existed. But the war department was
informed Of the route of the automobiles
well In advance Of the time for de-
parture.
Special attachments of soldiers were
stationed along the highway at COM
paratively brief intervals. The gaps be.
tween these posts we're covered by mo-
tor cycle scouts. The latter being I'M
der instructions to speed to concentra-
ton points and hurry the soldiers into
action II there was any sign Of out
laws who might modest the travellers.
Lindy's Expression Changing.
The party was trailed here by the
usual number Of newspaper correspond
ents and photographers. The colonel
and members of the Morrow family con-
tinue to smile when interviews are
sought, but the quality Of the colonel's
expression Is changing, particularly
when the subject of his Forthcoming
wedding Is preached.

PAY STATUS SAME
AS SESSION ENDS
Salary Legislation Goes Over
to Next Congress as Ad-
journment Nears.

Legislation to correct inequalities In
Government employees salaries definitely
went over until the next Congress when
the Senate late yesterday approved the
conference report on the second de-
hfiency appropriation bill, from which
all reference to salary adjustments had
been stricken The House ratified
the action Of the conferees Friday night,
so that the appropriation bill is on its
way to the President.
The final action of Congress on this
deficiency bill saves the technical and
professional employees in the higher
grades from the salary reductions with
which they we're threatened by the
original action of the House, but at the
same time it prevents the granting OF
increases to workers In the lower grades
who received only one salary step-up
last Summer under the WEIGH law.
Brookhart Regrets Delay.
There are separate legislative bills
! pending in both Senate and House to
iron out these inequalities under the
WEIGH act, but it is conceded that they
have no chance of enactment before ad-
journment tomorrow.
Senator Brookhart, Republican, OF
Iowa, author Of the Senate amendment
to the deficiency bill which would have
benefited the lower-p paid employees, ex-
pressed regret that the amendment
| could not be kept in and voiced the
hope that the next Congress will put
| Government salaries on an equitable
basis.
"Of course. regret that this amend
ment had to be rejected, especially since
everybody seemed to agree to its justice,
said Senator Brookhart, just before the
Senate adopted the conference report
Unfortunately, other propositions were
| improperly tied to 1t, and that was what
prevented the agreement. On the merits
of this proposition there can be nc
doubt These are the underpaid en-
| ployes."
Referring to those who would have
been advanced one more salary step
within their respective grades by his
amendment, Senator Brookhart said in
!
I'VE will have to say to the Govern
ment employees that they must eat less
and save on doctor bills"
Higher Employees Involved.
When the deficiency bill first was be-
ing drafted, the House inserted clause
to authorize the classification board
to scale downward the salaries of GER
tain scientific and professional en-
ployes, who. it was commended, were
rated too highly as a result of the way
the WEIGH act was interpreted.
The Senate appropriations committee
struck out these pay cuts. Senator
Brookhart was concerned over another
phase Of the salary situation, namely
to increase those In the lower grades
who were moved up only one step, while
others were being advanced two steps
under the WEIGH law. He succeeded In
getting this amendment in the bill In
the Senate, but the conferees were un-
able to reach an agreement. and finally
eliminated both the increases and the
decreases. This leaves the salary stu.
alton Just as II was.

YOUR INCOME TAX.
No. 28.

Taxes on personal property and
real estate paid during the tax
able year 1923 are deductible.
The revenue act of 1928 permits
the deduction of taxes assessed
against local benefits. such as, for
example, taxes imposed by drain
age or irrigation districts, to the
extent that such taxes are prop
erly allocable to maintenance and
interest charges. The deduction
Of estate and inheritance taxes Is
confined to the estate. Retroac-
tive provisions pertaining to de-
auctions Of estate and inheritance
taxes also are found in the new
revenue act.
The Federal income tax may
not be deducted. However, in
come taxes imposed upon the in
come of individuals by States
may be deducted by an individual
on his Federal income tax return.
Customs duties paid by a per-
son on articles imported for his
own use are deductible. Admis-
sion taxes are deductible, but the
taxpayer must show that account
has been kept Of the amount paid
during the year. Guesswork will
not be accepted.
