SANTA MONICA, Calf, Feb.
IL G.N.S0.-The mystery Of
who owned a gunnysack contain
ing 10 pints of bootleg whisky,
for which C. Van Ness Leavitt,
brother-in-law of President Hoover,
and c. R. Daley, a Santa
Monica grocer, were arrested, re-
mained unsolved by the law

The Glass Federal Reserve
expansion bill will be subjected to
such careful consideration by the
Senate Banking and Currency
Committee that its passage may
be delayed sometime, Senator
Norbeck CR) of South Dakota,
said today.
Foreign runs on the American
dollar that would act to draw
away gold from the United States
would be without effect on the
American credit structure under
provisions of the legislation.
This, in part, was a conSidera-
tion of the Treasury Department
and the Federal Reserve Board in
cooperating in the preparation of
the bill, making obligations of
the Government eligible tc back
Federal Reserve notes.
Twenty-Five per cent of the
more than $2,O00,0O0,0O0 gold
backing for Federal Reserve notes
at present would be liberated into
the class of free gold," through
the provision permitting use of
Government securities in, addi-
tion to present rediscountable
paper as collateral against the
note issues.

ASSESSMENTS
LIKELY To HIT
40 PER CENT
Wealthy to Bear Burden of
Impost Recommended
BY Treasury

A new schedule of Federal
income taxes and a gift tax,
not in the present law, were
tentatively agreed to by the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee today.
The new income tax rates
are understood to closely fol-
low the Treasury recommended
tions reaching a maximum of
40 per cent on incomes of
more than $1,00O,000 a year,
with no change in present ex-
emptions.
The gift tax is graduated to
follow closely the inheritance es-
tate tax and is understood to
reach maximum of 40 per cent
on gifts exceeding $10,000,000.
The committee declin ed to
make public the rates on the
ground that they may be changed
before a final decision is reached
on the new tax increase bill.
More Suggestions Due
Secretary Mills notified the
committee that the Treasury will
submit new recommendations for
additional taxes next Tuesday.
Mills also informed the COM
mittee that the Treasury will
make another study of a manu-
facturers' sales tax, which also
is being considered.
A new method of applying a
manufacturers sales tax - with
higher rates applied to prosperous
industries and luxuries than to
average business is also being con-
Sidered.
Luxuries Target
The proposal to levy a higher
sales tax on luxuries than upon
other articles is being pushed by
Representative Bacharach R0'
of New Jersey, it is understood.
The new plan would be modi-
fication of sales tax system now
being used in Canada. Under the
Canadian system, many exemp-
tionS are provided but the rate is
not graduated.

DR.. Edouard Benes, Czechoslo-

reduction.
Benes, generally considered the
spokesman for the little entente
group of powers supporting
France, declared events of the
past few years have sown so
much distrust among nations Of
the world that no drastic steps
can be expected Shere. He said:
"CzechOSlOvakia is ready to
adopt control by commission
Of all armamentS as well as the
manufacture and sale Of arms.
We are ready also to enter into
an agreement to end gas and
meteorological warfare and to
protect civilians and capital
cities against aerial bOmbings.."
The speech Of the Spanish dele
gate, Luis Zulueta, was eagerly
awaited in view of the strong
anti-war provisions inserted in
the new Spanish republican consti-
tuition. He said:
"The Spanish delegation is
not here to abolish chemical,
air, and submarine warfare.
We are here to abolish war
itself"

Illinois university. probably the

ball overcame the hazard of
weather it would attain proportions
along the line Of present-day big
league baseball.
Grange, completing his seventh
season of pro ball and rounding out
his sixteenth year of grid partici-
patton, spoke enthusiastically Of
the games future in a chat at his
hotel. A member of the Chicago
Bears, he's here for their National
League game with the New York
Giants on sunday.
Weather has been the greatest
obstacle to the professional games
progress since its beginning ten
years ago." said the henna- haired
1856 FOUNDER. Tn spite of this, the
sport has made such rapid strides
in the last three years that pro-
motors will take steps shortly to
eliminate this uncertainty.
Already some of them are max
ing plans to build mammoth indoor
plants where the game can be

Tony Holds
Wide Edge
Challenger Says He'll Stop
Lightweight King
Friday.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Tony Can
zoneri, worlds lightweight champion
is a 9-to-5 favorite TO retain his
title against Billy Petrolle Friday
night, according to Jack Doyle,
Broadway's veteran betting COM
missioner.
Doyle said he expected Canzoneri
to be a 2-to-1 favorite when they
climbed through the ropes for their
fifteen-round bout at Madison
Square Garden.
The bettors believe Tony is too
young, too fast and too smart for
Billy" he explained.
Waiting Ten Years
But these odds are not bothering
Petrolle. THE Fargo Express" Billy
sat down in an easy chair at his
hotel and predicted that he'd knock
out the champion.
1--WE been waiting ten years to
win the lightweight championship"
said the beetle-browed slugger. And
I'm going to win 1t this time. I've
got to take it now or never, be-
cause I've only got a couple Of
more fighting years. I'm q now"
Petrolle explained there were
three kinds of fighters: Cd Good
boxers, (2) good sluggers, and CD
smart fighters. The first two were
easy meat" for him. A good boxer
went fine until he got one on the
chin; a slugger was open to pun
ishment and weakened as the fight
wore on But the smart fighter
usually was a tough nut to crack.
Billy WelI-Fixed
"Canzoneri's a smart fighter" he
continued. Hes something like
Dempsey. A hard hitter, fine
boxer and fellow that uses his
head every second of the fight. But
l figure I'll beat him because I can
hit harder take more punishment
and am just as smart. Don't think
I'm bragging-you asked me how I
figured my chances
Win or lose, this title business
actually will not make much differ
ence to Petrolle. He's one Of the
most comfortably fixed fighters in
the game-f1nancially.
