BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

Hollywood-The slow but posi- tive return of songs and music in motion pictures gives rise to few thoughts pertaining to those responsible for the Juggling or notes.
 A survey of those who have contributed to the musical side Of films is surprising in it's revelation of how little most of them really know about music.
 Neither Irving Berlin nor George M. Cohan, two of Americas most prolific composers, can play a piano. That sounds like an exag- gerated statement. But it's true nevertheless.
 Both know music and harmony. And each is what might be regard. ed as a "one-fnger piano artist.
 Despite working under such a handicap, Berlin has more hits to his credit than any other composer. And Conan has written nearly 6OO0 songs during his career. Maurice Chevalier is another one of those lear songsters." The French star doesn't know one note from another. can't play any Kind of an instrument and hasn't the faintest idea of how a song goes until he hears it played. Due to his years of experience. however. Chev-

PRAISES RECTOR

Says DavidSon's Plea for
Aid Made Him a
Nuisance.

LONDON. May 31-The bishop
Of London, the Right Honorable and
Right Rev. Arthur Foley Winning

Rev. Harold Davidson, rector OF

morality.
The bishop was an unexpected wit
ness at the rector's trial. Wearing
a purple cassock, he testified that
he had known the rector for thirty
years, since the undergraduate days,
when they spoke from the same
platform at oxford, but that he
had not seen the rector frequently
in recent years.
Frequent Appeals for Aid
The bishop said the rector for
merly made frequent appeals for
financial aid. Doubtless you found
him a nuisance" said the rector's
counsel, r. F. Levy.
Yes, great nuisance" the
bishop replied
Asked for his opinion Of the
rector's moral reputation. the bishop
replied. Il never heard a word
against him until this case. I con-
slider the rector audacious, but must
admit am forced to admire his
nerve"

Rector's Daughter Testifies
She said she entirely trusted the
rector, and the photographers had
promised not to picture her daugh-
ter nude, but 1T was a disgusting
trap well worked out, right from
the beginning"
The rectors daughter, Patricia,

been deaf and mute from nervous
complaint since 1890, and suffered
heart attacks because of the noto-
riety of the present case.

TREASURY CHIEF
ASKS PASSAGE
OF SALES TAX
Revenue Bill to Fall Far
Short of Budget Need,
Senate Told.
lcouvrlsht 1889. b United Press

fErUNFtGNfa 1881. EW united Press
WASHINGTON. May 3l.-Treas-
ury Secretary Ogden L. Mills today
presented to the senate finance
committee revised estimate indi-
eating that the new bill would fail
by s2s5, 900 900 to raise sufficient
revenue to balance the budget. He
recommended adoption Of the
Walsh sales tax amendment to make
up the deficiency.
Mills statement. given to tic
committee in executive committee
before the senate adopted the Con-
nally amendment for increased
taxes follows
Events during the last two
months. and more particularly the
last few weeks. necessitate taking
into account a changed situation as
affecting the estimates Of old and
new revenue made BY the treasury
department in February
Contraction Marked
The estimates were predicated On
a prompt enactment OF a revenue
bill furnishing a basis for, first
sterilization of economic conditions,
and then a gradual rise
Instead there has been marked
contraction OF economic activity,
and a further fan in commodity
and security prices. so that not only
has thte date Of recovery been post
poned. but recovery starts from a
lower level. This is bound to have
an adverse effect on prospective
revenues
The treasury recommended in
February sI.125,0 900 900 in new taxes.
That is the amount needed today
The bill now before the senate,
even with the finance committee
items still to be voted on. viii
bring in but ss40. 100000. as com
pared with the s965 100000 estimat-
ed under the old figures.
Eager for Action
Thus, there is a shortage Of
revenue between the amount orig
inally estimated by the treasury as
necessary, and the yield OF the bill,
as it now stands, of s2S5 900. 900.
The difference is due to a reduc-
ton by the congress in new taxes
amounting to sl60 600 .000-of which
about sl00,000.OOO was agreed to by
the treasury in its agearness for
prompt action-and S125 100000 is
accounted for BY changed condi-
tons.
In other words. assuming that
the expenditure figures are reduced
below those submitted in the budget
message by not less than s350,000,-
600, 5000 900 of additional reve-
nue. is needed today to balance the
budget
In order to bridge this gap. I
unqualifedly recommend turning
70 the manufacturers excise tax
along the line OF Senator Walshs
pending amendment.
While the treasury department
hitherto has refrained from COM
mending this tax. I had occasion to
give it close study during its con-
sideration by the ways and means
committee. and I unhesitatingly in
dorse it today as the most effective
means Of balancing the budget and
giving assurance Of yielding the
needed revenue.
I further recommend the adop
ton Of the so-called Connally in
come tax amendment, which means
a return to the 1922 income tax

McFayden Bests White hill, 6 to }, But Harris Claims Chapman Batted Out of Order

Detroit, Aug ? - By awarding Babe Ruth four bases on balls yesterday, the Tigers prevented any enormous scoring on the part of the Yankees, but, thanks largely to Lou Gehrig's ,run-driving, the McCarthymen took their third straight from Detroit, 6 to 3, mak- ing their road record show an even break in eight games played.
 The 5000 fans had their tension snapped when Gherig tripled to the wall in left center; with two on base to break 1-1 tie on the third inning.
 Afterward, though Danny Mac Fayden allowed almost as many hits as did the local veteran, Earl Whitehill the Yankee quota of the first three innings proved enough for all pra cticai purposes.
 Manager Bucky Harris of the Tigers notified Umpire Nallin in the second inning that Detroit, If beaten would protest the game on the grounds that the Yankee bat ting order, as delivered to the home team before the game, had listed Chapman ahead of Lazzeri. The box score:

Detroit Negro Wins Title

 man. in Hairline Finish Seven Judges Decide
By NORMAN B. pEUEL

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Los Angeles, Aug 2-UP)- Twelve years after Charles Pad dock won his last 100-meter Olym- pic games championship, the steel black, piston-like legs of Eddie Tolan of Detroit regained 1t for the United States.
 Two ebony Americans, descend ants of the sons of Africa, flashed down the slate-gray path to break the tape a fraction of second apart and tie the worlds record of 1O.3 seconds.
 They were the short, stocky Ed die Tolan, and the 1.-the, muscular Ralph Metcalfe, Black Panther" of Marquette.
 So close were they at the finish that long study of official photo graphs was required to determine the exact margin of Tolan's vic- tory. The final verdict supported the earlier official, though disputed decision.
 Surprise Win
 The camera showed Tolan was two inches in the lead, though he himself did not know 1t. He pur- sued his rival teammate up the track to congratulate him.
 Sixty-thousand watchers held their breath as six finalists in the race dashed before them. The con- test lacked the impetus of interna- tional rivalry, with the two Ameri- cans in a duel for first, but made up for that in nerve-gripping in- tensity of personal competition.
 There was slight delay at the start when Joubert, South Africa, jumped the gun, and later when the starter claimed Simpson, l.. $. A., had his hands over the line. The others of the six finalists were To- Ian, Metcalfe, Jonath, Germany, and Yoshioka, Japan. Percy Will Hams of Canada, defending cham pion, had been eliminated in the first heat.
 Yoshioka took the lead at the crack of the gun, held it for about 40 yards, then fell back to finish next to the last. He would be al- most unbeatable in the shorter 5O- meter sprint, now eliminated from the games.
 Tolan ran with rythmical stride, black legs eating up the yardage. At 40 meters he took the lead. The other five were punched behind him, Jonath heading the pack.

 are decided on the basis of a
 mans entire body crossing the
 finish line.
 The official time of 10.3 seconds tied the official record set in 1880 by Percy Williams of Canada. It was three-tenths of second under the previous Olympic mark.
 Gustavus T. Kirby of New York, chief judge, and inventor of the two-eyed camera which checked the finish in an unofficial capacity, said after examining his photo graphs:
 "The seven judges of the finish, few hours after the 100 meters was run, viewed the screening of the film, settling the dispute that arose over the award of the cham pionship to Eddie Tolan. Il
 After seeing these pictures, we were unanimous in the certainty Tolan defeated Metcalfe by exact ly two inches.
