DEMOCRATS PLAN
FOR REVISION OF
INCOME TAX LAW
Would Check Stock Sell
ing To Escape Pay
ments To Government.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. U.P)-
Democrats are preparing a proposed
revision of income tax laws to
check such stock selling activity as
that now going in New York, which
has as its purpose the avoidance of
income taxes by wealthy individ-
uals and stock market operators.
At the direction of Democratic
leaders, House Floor Leader Rainey
is studying a substitute for the
present capitals gains and losses
tax which would chink up the loop
hole whereby stocks are dumped on
the market at low prices and the
losses deducted from income.
Rainey, who previously had ad-
vocated repeal of the capital gains
and losses tax, said today he had
been misinterpreted in the applica-
ton to be made. II was not his in
tention, he explained, to eliminate
present taxes on profits from stock
selling, but to offer a substitute
for the present provision which
would retain this feature and plug
up the loophole now being taken
advantage Of to avoid income tax
es.
Rainey issued his explanation af-
ter conference with Speaker Gar
ner Chairman Collier of the ways
and means committee, which drafts
tax bills and Senator Harrison,
Miss, ranking Democrat on the SEN
ate finance committee.
Garner insisted upon this clari-
fication, it is understood, to remove
the inference that Democrats would
wipe out present provisions for tax
ing profits from sale of stocks,
bonds and real estate.

Of John T. Moutoux. staff cores
pondent OF the Knoxville, Tenn,

J. 3. Snyder, attorney OF HARLAN,
KY, objected to Moutouxs con-
tinued presence in the courtroom
after Judge Henry r. Prewitt Of
Montgomery county circuit court
had released the correspondent
from charges of contempt growing
cut of an editorial appearing In
his paper.
Although Mautoux denied having
written the editorial which the
court held TO be in contempt,
Snyder asserted 1t not only repre-
sented MoutauxS personal views.
but that he, Snyder. could obtain
numerous affidavitS N Mt. Sterling
that it fully represented the cor

MT. STERLING, KY, Dec. 81
(u.P)--John T. MontouX, staff cor
\, respondent of the Knoxville. Tenn.

at Of
Montgomery county circuit court
here today.
Judge Henry r. PreWitt, who pre-
ferred the charges against Mou-
touX late Wednesday, ordered the
correspondents release on Mou-
toux's assertion that he did not
write any article appearing in his
paper which attacked the Mt Ster-
ling court.
The court stipulated. however
that neither Moutoux nor any
other representative of the News
Sentinel-should sit In his court
and take notes on the Harlan mine

til the News Sentinel apologies

1t had no objections.
Mcutoux then left the courtroom
and the trial of William Hightow-
er, mine union president at Evarts

Moutoux appeared in court yes
terday to report the trial.
He reported later TO his editor

cited Immediately by Judge Pre-

Reasons for the citation. he said
were a story about a previous mur-
der trial growing out of the labor
disorders, and an editorial he did
not write but which was published
in the newspaper in connection
with the same trial.
Judge Prewitt refused to com
ment on Moutoux's report to his
editor, except to say:
You can say and say IN big
headlines that no man or newspa-
per can lie about me and get away
with it. and some newspaper has
done that"

nationwide investigation of anti
Fascist activities in the United
States by government agents was
indicated today by postal author
tiles following the bomb plot frus-
trated here at the cost of two mall
clerks lives. ~.
Death of third man, who was
mangled while inspecting his sec
ond of six bombs mailed to four
prominent Italians, an Argentine
vice consul and a reform school Of
ficial, was expected. This victim.
Charles Weaver, an expert sent
from the Du Pont Powder Com
pany, was sent to the post office
to assist in the investigation.
Five postal inspectors working on
the case here sought to link the
mailed bombs with other recent
bombings in italian communities,
particularly in the eastern states.
Two inspectors planned TO depart
today for Philadelphia to investi-
gate possible connection between
the Easton affair and the bombing
Of u Italian stores in that city
during the last two months.
From Philadelphia they will GO
to Pittsburgh to investigate bomb
ing OF the Italian consulate two
months ago.
While believing that anti-Fascist
plotters were behind the mail bomb
plot, authorities have not been able
to offer an explanation for the
fact that two Of the Internal ma
chimes were mailed TO persons ap-
Oarently without Italian connec-
tions.
These two men. Natalie Mariane.
Argentine vice consul at Baltimore,
and j. Everhart, Huntington. Pa,
are not known to be identified
With either political faction In It
ally. Eyerhart is connected with the
'eform school at Huntington.
Other marked for death included:
Commentators Emmanuel Graz

York City.

Il Progresso. ~
G. Guirato, Italian consul at
Pittsburgh.
GeneroSo Pope, influential New
York American. publisher of
II ProgresSo president of a sand
firm and friend of Mayor James J.
Walker.
The explosive was delivered 10
the consulate by an American rail-
way messenger, the consul told In
spector Cody
The package aroused suspicion OF
the count and attaches and they
notified police. The package had
been sent from New York and the
sender was listed as Mr.. Trambet-
to. 56 < 4eth street" The consul said
the name given was the owner OF
