NEW CENTURY Club

Monday at tho Milford New Cen
tuIy Club was Music Day and a de-
hshtful day it was. with Mrs. Ed
ward i. Hurley as chairman. Mrs.
Hurley had given much time and
thought to the arrangement of hcr
program and as a consequence the
members of the club were given a
musical treat, all of which are too
few in Milford The opening of the
program was prologue read by
Mrs. Walter Barrett in which wo-
men and music, as some one wrote,
we're twin souls of civilization. AS
science makes play of the womans
work there is more time for the
things she likes best and music is
among the first. Life maXims Of the
great musicians were read by diff
ferent members and gave the i'm
portant characteristics of these men
and their chief ambitions in life, !
some realized, some not. A splendid !
paper, why the World Needs ATu-
sic" by DR.. Henry VanDyke, was
read by MIS-. Thomas Davis. Some Of
the highlights Of tho panerj were,
the inspiration one gets from music,
ideas come more readily with music
as a background, poets write more
easily with a melody in the back of
their minds. Then the different kinds
of music affect one differently, as
the scope extends in all objections,
making one soar aloft or bringing
one very decidedly in another di-
A.,
Dyke says the study Of music will
become more general and will find
serious part in our education. The
singing by the chorus and the vocal
solos were much enjoyed and men, ,
bers were grateful to Mrs. Hurley
for another fine afternoon at the
club. The program in its entirety !

vicinity of Hot Springs, Va, to
point on the highway be-

New Albany, Ind, to Washington,
told Boiling Field officials that
he had seen an airplane, similar
to Bobbitt's Army pursuit planes
partly buried into the ground,
with one wing completely demol-
ished. The red tail of the plane
was pointing up in the air, he
said. Bobbitt's plane had a red

new TAX PLAN
AIMS At RICH !.

A new Democratic tax law that
will bear little resemblance to the
one jointly advocated a few years
ago by President Hoover and Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon is
in the making on Capitol Hill.
It will strike sharply at the
incomes in the higher brackets
and leave the little fellow" about
where he is now.
In addition, the plans of the
Democratic leaders call for enact
ment of a stiff gift tax and re-
peal of the capital gains and
losses provision of the present
law, under which millions of dol
lars have been written off" since
the market crash of two years
ago by large taxpayers.
In his recommendation to Con-
gress earlier this month. Secre-
tary Mellon proposed to bring
100000 persons back into the
income tax paying class. This
could be accomplished by reduc-
ing the exemptions so to affect
incomes of the $1,500 and $2,5OO
class, which Mellon advocated.
But the Democrats who have
been comforting busily among
themselves over the new tax leg
islation cannot see the Mellon pro-
gram of going after these small
incomes.

DR.. Carl Vanek, Czechoslovakian

Vahek was denounced by the

clumsy envoy who had brought
disrepute upon his country.

securing the thickly timbered
mountains and valleys south Of
here for a trace of Lieut.. E. H.
Bobbitt, Selfridge Field (MichJ
Army pilot, who disappeared in
this region en- route to Hot
Springs, Va. to visit his family,
fourscore woodsmen started at
dawn today for the head of Windy
Run, where the missing plane is
believed to have landed.
The force, led by Sergeant
Moore, of the West Virginia State
police, will scour the region, on
the north side of Mt. Airy, which
is the only section not yet COW
cred by the six scout planes from
Selfridge field.
Heavily Wooded Area
The Windy Run section lies
about three miles up the noun
tain, in a region so heavily
clothed with spruce and hemlock
the plane could not be seen from
the air if it landed there.
Lieutenant Bobbitt's plane ac-
cording to reports checked by
Sergeant Moore, was seen and
heard by mountain residents all
the way from Elkins to the head
of Windy Run, where three mem.
bers of the Ware family reported
the sound of its motor suddenly
stopped.
Drizzle a Deterrent
Both the State trooper and
Chief of Police Phillips, of Elkins,
were confident the plane would
be found in this wild section.
The scout planes from the
Michigan air station were ham,
pered by low clouds and a
drizzle, which prevented them
from taking an effective part in
the search. A low ceiling and
heavy haze this morning also
made air reconnaissance of the
region impossible.

ton, Among Agencies He
Would Rearrange

President Hoover today re-
newed his recommendation for
Congressional action to speed
consolidation of Federal bu-
reaus as major economy
step.
Eyes Public Works
Particularly the President felt
that public works should be con-
solidated under a single directive
agency. He also renewed his
recommendation for consolidating
merchant marine activities under
the Department of Commerce.
The Presidents statement said:
"The most constructive direc-
ton for economy in Federal
expenditure beyond a rigid re-
duction Of appropriations and
the rcSOIute opposition to new
appropriations lies in the con-
sOlidatiOn of Government bu-

this reorganization in public
addresses, reports, and messages
to Congress throughout the
past 10 years.
"SOme of my recOmmenda-
tiOnS have been carried out,
the most notable one being the
consolidation of all veterans
activities into the veterans ad-
miniStratiOn. As a result, Gen.
eral Hines reports that we are
saving somewhere from 10 to
Is millions a year in this SER
vice alone.
Names Many Groups
"Outstanding amongst these
reOrgs nizatiOns would be con,
SOIidatiOn of all construction
activities of the Government
under an administrator of pub
lie works to serve all the de-
partments. Other cases are the
consolidation of all merchant
marine activities into the De
partment of Commerce; the
consolidation Of the cOnserva-
tiOn activities of the Govern
ment; of the public health SER
vices, of educational activities,
and numerous other groups on
the same major purpose under
single headed responsibility.
"Such action would result
in the elimination of many ex-
pel4Sive agercies and overlap
resulting in very great
economies. These economies
would run into many millions.
I'm addition to the actual
economy by concentrated ad-
m1niStratiOn and elimination Of
overlap, further great economies
would be brought about through
the curtailment of the SeIf-ex.
panding capacity Of scattered
bureaus, which could be much
better controlled If they were
grouped together. It would
enable policies in connection
with different government activ-
tiles to be better developed
and better directed"

MUKDEN, Dec. 90 (I.N.S).
The two great pincers of the
japanese military machine in
l-anchuria closed in upon the
Chinese stronghold of Chin
chow tonight. while airplanes
rained bombs upon Chinese
Outposts.
A mixed brigade commanded by
Major General Yoshimura moved
down the Mukden-Peiping railway
toward Chinchow and reached
Hsinmin at 2 O'Clock this after,
noon, while Lieut.. Gen. ;Jiro Ia
mons army was occupying Pan
shan, As miles east Of Chinchow.
Iaiashews Attack Near
The main body Of Yoshimura's
brigade remained in trains at
IIsinmin, but an advance detach-
mert will leave for Koupangtze,
80 miles northwest of Chinchow,
in armored cars before dawn to-
morrow.
The combined forces of Tamon
and Yoshimura are expected to
enter Koupangtze New Year Eve
and open an attack upon Chin
chow before Saturday night.
With a fleet of airplanes rain
ing bombs on railway bridges and
viaductS to prevent concentration
Of Chinese forces, the japanese
forces captured Panshan at 5
O'Clock this afternoon.
The japanese fleet of bombing
planes rendered greatest assist
ance to the advancing army, par
ticularly in approaching Pan,
shan. where the Chinese put up
a stiff resistance and retreated
only in the face of a furious
aerial bombardment.
Scout planes and light bomberS
participated in the onslaught.
Volunteers Aid Regulars
The Chinese troops stationed at
Panshan retreated to Koupangtze,
surrendering the city when their
commanders saw resistance was
useless.
The Chinese forces opposing
the Japanese today for the most
part were volunteers, but there
were some regular soldiers.
In the determined push, Japan
ese troops employed eight heavy
guns. 18 Carden-Lloyds and eight
airplaneS. which dropped 30
bombs, some destroying the rail-
way bridge beyond Tawa.
More Troops Leave Mukden
Four trains, each consisting of
% cars and loaded to capacity
with Japanese soldiers and mill.
tary supplies, including motor
cars, left Mukden before 4 p. m.
to participate in the drive.
Following the dispatch Of troop
trains from Mukden, additional
trains left the city at 45-minute in,
tervals. Some carried nothing but
auto trucks, which are of greatest
value in traversing the frozen
plains of Manchuria in winter. al
though they are virtually useless
in the summer months owing to
lack Of adequate roads.
