POOLS PROTEST
SCANT SUITS

Protest against too-abbreviated
bathing costumes came from a
totally unexpected scource when
the American Association of Pools
and Beaches meeting in conven-
ton in New York, yesterday
passed resolutions calling upon
bathing suit manufacturers to
design their 1888 models along
more conservative lines.
The resolution declared the
tendency toward more and more
scanty bathing attire was en-
dangering their business and
would result in the more modest
bathers deserting the pools and
beaches.
Members prophesied that un-
less the fad was checked batherS
would be appearing in cellophane
suits next season.
Leonard B. SchloSs. manager Of
Glen Echo, was elected president
of the association for the coming
year.

A gale of hurricane-like proper
tions roared up Broadway today
and nobody batted an eyelash.
The wind whistled around the
corner of Twenty-third Street and
tore with hurricane violence at
cornices of the Empire State
Building, without attracting the
slightest notice.
The reason is that the Empire
State Building, Fifth Avenue and
Twenty-third Street were not in
lower Manhattan but out on Con-
necicut Avenue; models construct
ed in the Bureau of Standards S
mammoth wind tunnel, exact
counterparts of the originals.
The models are the handicraft
of Prof. Clinton L. Harris, head
of the architectural department
at Pennsylvania State College,
who is here for a year to study
the effect of wind on high build
ings.
The model of the Empire
State Building stands five feet
high. Across Fifth Avenue stands
a similar building of wood, while
q third is placed across a space
designated as Twenty-third Street.

BIC COMPANIES,
LOSING MONEY,
CAN 7 PAY
Government Now Regrets It
Spurned Compromises
of Two Years AGO

Heavy losses, possibly running
to a quarter of a billion dollars,
are faced by the Treasury De-
partment as a result of income
tax cases pending before the In
ternal Revenue and the board Of
tax appeals.
In many cases, offers of cash
compromise had been made by
the taxpayers two years or more
ago, at which time they had
money to pay. Feeling that the
Governments interests were not
adequately protected by these
offers, officials refused them at
the time.
Unable to Pay Anything
Since then corporations that
might have paid from 100000
to $4,000, 900 in taxes, operating
continually in the red, have been
reduced to such financial con-
dition that they are unable to
pay anything.
This has been revealed in a
number of cases where the Treas
ury decided it would accept the
offer of compromise and take
what it could get"
It may become necessary Tor
the bureau to adopt policy OF
collecting from the taxpayers on
the basis of the capacity to pay"
Preparations are now being
made to send out the income tax
blanks based on the rates of the
new revenue act, which has put
taxation back on a wartime basis.
They probably will be sent to
taxpayers earlier than normally
in order that the new schedules
may be studied.
Estimate Cut in Half
The Treasury estimated when
the revenue act was submitted
that the rates would yield approx
mately $210,00O,000 in new reve-
nue. from March Is to June 80,
but in view of conditions since
that time, the figures probably
will be much nearer 100000, 900.
With the higher rates likely to
inspire more than normal tax
evasion, collectors of internal
revenue and agents Of the bureau
have been instructed to observe
unusual vigilance in the examina-
ton of returns.

NJ 'CORMACK HAS
ECHANCE
FOR SPEAKER
Massachusetts Legislator Is
Ozark Horse" in Fight
For Garner'S Post

Out of the approaching "scram-
BILE" for the Speakership a dark
horse" candidate may ascend the
House rostrum, it was forecast in
some quarters today.
There are about half-dozen can
didates, active and inactive, for
the Speakership. Back behind
the scenes is fellow named Rep
resentative John w. Mccormack,
of Boston.
6 Years in House
Representative Mccormack is a
comparative youngster in legis-
lative service in the National
Capital. But he has had a worth
while career back home" and in
the World War. His legislative
service in Washington extends
back for about six years. Never
theless, he moved up enough in
that time to get on the Ways and
Means Committee, a coveted as
Signment.
It is accepted in Democratic po-
litical quarters in Washington
that Representative Mccormack
has only an "outside\ chance"
Ahead of him in the caucus bal
loting will be such oldtimers as:
Rainey.. Illinois, present floor
leader of the Democrats of the
House; Byrns, of Tennessee, chair
man of the Appropriations Com
mittee; McDuffie, of Alabama;
Rankin, of Mississippi, and prob
ably others.
Mr.. Mccormack will return to
the Capital Sunday night. Moth
ing will be done about his inactive
candidacy for the Speakership for
several weeks, and then his for
tunes will be in the hands of his
friends.
Succeeded Gallivan
Representative Mccormack came
to Congress as the successor to
the late James A. Gallivan of Bos-
ton, filling in for the Twelfth Con-
greSSional district of the Bay
State. Before that he had been
Boston lawyer; member of the
Constitutional Convention of the
State, 1917-1918; member of the
Senate and House of the State,
1920-21-22, and a Democratic
leader of Massachusetts,.
He became a member of the
Seventy-first Congress, just after
the death of Mr.. Gallivan.
Associates of Representative
Mccormack here say that he is a
personal dry but a political wet.
For a time Mr.. Mccormack
carried on as a member of the
Civil Service Committee of the
House and espoused the cause of
Government employees. He was
an exponent of a five-day week
for Federal workers, with pay.

LATE XMAS G|FT 7
FOR BARRY
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON

Reds" Barry, local heavy.
weight, is today proudly display
ing to his Southeast friends late
Christmas gift.
It came in the form of a draw
decision at the end of his Ground
lout with Matte Brown, 184-pound
New Yorker, who featured the
Alexandria Day Nursery boxing
program last night. Approx
mately 1000 spectators were pres,
ent and the bout attracted such
interest that the show was de-
layed Is minutes in order that
those attending in a block-long
line could gain entrance.
Barry, carrying a 15-pound pull
in the weights, must live a
charmed life. He admitted he
didn't deserve a draw and was
sport enough to tell Brown,
though the latter was unlm-
preSsive.
Uninteresting Bout
The bout was dull and the boys
didn't show any inclination to
mix it until about the sixth
round. At that, it was only a
furry and both soon went to
their love match.
Joe Finazzo, Baltimore Scrapper
packing 168 pounds, also ap'
peared to have had the edge on
Henry Irving, 164-pounder of this
city, but this siX-round bout was
also voted a draw. Finazzo did
all the leading and. if for no
other reason, should have been
awarded the decision on this
factor.
Harry kid" Groves, the vet
eran welterweight, delivered his
apology for his miserable bout
with Sammy BraunStein last
week, as we'll as his unSportsman-
like conduct, by turning the
tables on his conqueror in six
round bout.
The fans jeered the unani-
nous decision as Groves is un-
popular WIN Cne paying GUS
toners. However, he was Win
ner by wide margin over
Braunstein, grabbing five rounds
with the fourth going to the
Marine.
Wilson as Referee
Gave Navos, Filipino flyweight,
gave Young Dempsey, another
Filipino midget, the works in the
second round. A right to the
head followed by a left to the
chin sprawled Dempsey to the
canvas. Dempsey was counted
out by Hack Wilson, National
League baseball player, who
counted as though waiting for a
slow ball at the plate. Wilson
was the guest referee of Charlie
Short, who handled the other
bouts.
Billy Reed, local featherweight,
outpointed Lynn King, of War
renton, Va, in a four-rounder.

I TOUGH BATTLE
FORLONDOS

It won't be all cakes and ice
cream for Champion Jimmy
Londos at the Washington AL
ditorium tomorrow night, not by
a yardful of Hungarian goulash
at least.
Londos is to wrestle with San
dor Szabo, the Hungarian who
has displaced doc" Wilson in
the hearts of Washington fans.
Sentiment will be overwhelmingly
in favor of Sander, but the
handsome looking foreigner will
need more than the sympathy of
the fans if he wishes to throw
the Little Greek God"
There will be hundreds of
women enthusiasts on hand for
tomorrow's match, though their
usual privilege of gaining free ad-
mittance has been revoked. They
will be attracted by the captivat-
ing Szabo, who should have en-
tered the movies instead of wrest-
ling.
Master of All Holds
The odds will weigh heavily in
favor of Londos not only because
he is the champion but also by
virtue of his mastery of all holds.
Szabo expertly uses but one hold
and that is his back-drop. which
is destructive when accurately ap-
piled. On the other hand, Londos
has a varied assortment and it
will be difficult for Szabo to com
bat these.
DOC" Wilson takes on George
Hagen in what might turn out
to be a whizz bang. Both boys
are of the knock 'em down and
drag 'em out type. Matros Kiri-
lenko and Herbie Freeman ap-
pear in the opening engagement
at $50 o'clock.

SCHOOL STAR
DECIDES To
LEAVE
BY GARRETT WATERS

One of the most popular ath-
letes in local scholastic sports
history has cut himself adrift
from school. He is none other
than Frank Cumberland, three
sports star, at Central High
School.
Cumberland advised officials at
Central shortly before the begin,
ming of the Christmas holiday
period that he was through with
school work for good. His reasons
were kept best known to himself
Losing Cumberland comes as a
distinct blow to sports teams at
the Mt. Pleasant Street inStitu'
ton. Particularly so when the
lads greatest strength and ability
is widespread as a basketball and
baseball performer.
Could Use Lad
Coaches Coggins and Ray, of
the floor and diamond teams, re-
Spectviely, could use this young,
Ster to great advantage in the
sports at hand, or near at hand,
under their guidance. But they
will have to do without him, be-
cause Of the lads decision to ter
inmate school work for good.
Cumberland, whose graduation
was set for this coming June, first
attracted attention in baseball
four years ago.
His speed afoot and earnest
work soon brought itself out in
football and basketball seasons
which followed. During the 1880
grid year he was out for the
greater part of the time because
of injuries, but throughout the
season recently ended he was a
domineering factor in his teams
play, although never quite a
star.
Rose to Heights
Probably his greatest bits as
an athlete we're during last years
basketball series, when he was
the life of Central's spirited
fight, which carried the team
into a tie with Eastern for the
leadership of the race.
In baseball. Cumberland has
been a tower of strength, play,
ing both shortstop and second
base commercially. Coach Ray
expected to mold this years nine
around him, at least the teams
infieid. But now he must look
to others.
AS CogginS and Ray are now
moaning, Cumberland is gone
but he will never be forgotten.
"a good kid" is what both
mentors have to say about him.
"a kid never brilliant but one
full of ability whose only need
to become brilliant is conf
dence. If Frank would only
continue in school work, he
might develop into a great col
lege player some day." they
conclude.
In summary, just another blow
for athletics at Central since the
start of the school term last
September. Isn't there ever go
ing to be some sunshine for the
Mount Pleasanters before the
year is ended? Yes, sir. we're
asking it, too.
