RETURNS
i TO WORK OUT
! TAX PLAN

with Ogden L. Mills under.
secretary Of the Treasury. back at
his desk following an extended
illness, the Treasury spec lie d
preparation of the tax rev ision
program which was expected to
be submitted to President Hoover
later in the week.
Only a few days remain for the
preparation Of the 1888 budget,
and the tax re concentrations,
alonQ with general estimates Of
receipts and expenditures, must
be available before it is ord'
pleted.
Officials agreed that any tax
program enacted by Cong ress
probably would have little effect
on 1882 fiscal year revenues. The
Treasury is now reconciled to a
huge deficit, estimates running
all the way from $4,000, 200. 900 to
$4,000, 100000.
Besides the tax program. the
Treasury has under consideration
the character Of the new securi.
ties to be issued December IS.
Experts now favor a certificate
and note issue, as an issue Of
bonds probably would be unsuc.
cessful unless the rate would be
made possibly as high as 4 per
cent.

Diesel Engine Is Approved
For Use In AirpLanes

If an airplane equipped with
the Diesel engine crashes, no fire
will follow, Mr.. Guiberson ex-
planned. He added that even If
a match was thrown into the
fuel, the fuel itself would ex-
tinguiSh it.
Despite the fact the fuel costs
about one.fifth more than gaso-
line, the new Diesel engine can
be operated cheaper, Mr.. Guiber-
son said, because its consumption
is less. He said the engine will
cost less to manufacture and
therefore can be sold cheaper
than the gasoline engine because
it has $500 fewer parts.
The new engine has no elec-
trical parts, no spark plugs and
no carbureter. It runs smooth
at all speeds, Mr.. Guiberson said.
Mr.. Guiberson said the engine
also can be used in automobiles,
especially in buses and trucks.
He plans later to build engines
for automobiles, he stated,
