Officials Probe
Bomb at Vatican

Rome, Feb. 16.-(P)-1talian police
and Vatican authorities cooperated
Tuesday in an exhaustive investiga-
ton into the mysterious placing of a
bomb in st. Peters. possibly at the
time Premier Mussolini appeared
there after his visit to Pope Plus XII
or before the pontiff celebrated his
10th anniversary mass last week.
The bomb was removed Saturday
after authorities were informed Of It
through q mysterious cablegram from
the U. 8. It was placed beneath q
large bronze lion near the central
altar.
As far Is could be learned no ar
rest had been made Tuesday. Vati-
can authorities declined to discuss
the cable that led to the discovery Of
the bomb and police also maintained
silence.
Premier Mussolini was in st. Peters
Thursday. Pope Plus went to the
cathedral the next day. The college
Of cardinals preceded him and 5000
persons attended the ceremony.

CREDIT MEASURE IS
APPROVED IN House,
RELAYED TO SENATE
CIass-Steagall Bill Goes Thru
Lower House With Only
IS Opponents

Washington, Feb. The
nearly unanimous goodwill of the
house put the Glass-Steagall credit
expansion bill Tuesday up to the
senate, which probably will pass it
with despatch.
The measure went through the
house with only IS opposing votes
after day of fastest consideration
permitted by its system, suspension
Of rules which barred all amend
ments, cut debate to nominal guam
titles and set In advance the hour at
which the roll was called. The bill
was supported by $50 members.
Senate action was not expected
Tuesday. The relief issue still held
the boards, and it is nearly impos-
sible for the senators to pass bills
OF any importance with such speed
as the house can show. Besides, Sen
ator Glass Of Virginia, Democratic
sponsor of the measure, has added to
1t some limitations which the ad-
ministration wants removed. One
would restrict extension of the in
creased federal reserve credit to
banks with less than $500,000 CAPT.
talization: the other requires banks
to exhaust all paper now eligible be-
fore drawing on the new privileges.
Although backing the bill, Glass
has not shown too much enthusiasm
over it, being disposed to go slow on
any changes which might possibly
lessen the unequaled soundness of
this countrys federal reserve system.
But protracted haggling over exact
terms was not expected.
With this major bill well on to-
wards enactment, 1t developed fl
nancial experts Of the administra-
ton are seriously considering an is
sue of bonds in very small denomina-
tons, as low as $50, particularly de-
signed to attract the smaller holders
OF money not now invested. The
final approval of President Hoover,
however, was needed to put this plan
in operation.

ELECTRICITY, GAS
AND GASOLINE TAX
Designed to Overcome Prospec-
tive $1,24l 600, 600 Def
icit This Year
WOULD MODIFY SuRTAxES
Favors More Revenue From
Corporate Income Taxes,
Capital Stock Sales
WOULD MODIFY suRrAxEs

Washington, Feb. R)- The
treasury department Tuesday SUBJ
mitted to the house ways and means
committee revised proposals to raise
taxes to meet the prospective $l,241,
100000 deficit In the coming fiscal
year.
Secretary Mills proposed one
cent gallon tax on gasoline to yield
$165, 100000, modification Of income
surtaxes, to yield an additional $780,
100000 and a seven per cent tax on
electricity manufactured and natural
gas to bring in $94 100000.
Another increase recommended was
of one per cent in the corporate in
come taxes, bringing 1t to 10 per cent.
This is expected to yield an addi-
tional $l7.O00,000 over the original
increase of one-half of one per cent
proposed in the administrations orig
inal program.
A one-cent increase in the tax on
capital stock sales was proposed over
the original recommendation which
would bring it to total of four
cents, with an estimated additional
yield of $l1,000,0 900.
The house ways and means COM
mittee. already agreed not to make
the taxes retroactive on 1881 incomes,
affirmed the decision by a formal
vote.
Acting Chairman Crisp said that
the treasury figures were based on
making the increases retroactive and
estimated that as result the pros
pective yield Of the adjusted admin
istration' program would fall short
about $107 100000.
Mills informed the. committee that
the treasury maintained its original
"opinion that limited group of Sc
lected excise taxes is preferable
method of raising the required re-
venue" instead Of a manufactures
sales tax.
It's administration and the basic
economic considerations was given as
the reason for the treasury stand.
The tax, he said, might yield $780,
100000 provided there were no sub
stantial exemptions.
The proposed new surtax rates fol-
low:
Incomes of $4,000 to $4,000. one per
cent $4,000 to $4,000, two per cent;
$4,000 to $4,000. three per cent;
$4,000 to 100000, four to 38 per
cent; 100000 to 100000, 50 per
cent; 100000 to 100000. 40 per
cent; 100000 to 100000. Al per
cent: $500,00O and over. AZ per cent.
The treasury originally recon-
mended a maximum of 40 per cent,
with the surtax beginning on incomes
of $4,000 or over.

It was the third time In seven years
and the fourth time in French par

vote In the senate.
Although the defeat was ostensibly
on the request for postponement Of

been growing among the opposition

HEAVY COMMANDMENT

Shanghai, Feb. 16.-(AP)-Shang-
hal shook to the bombardment Of
heavy artillery firing across Chapel
tonight after a day of comparative
quiet.
It appeared the Japanese had
brought up their biggest guns, for
the cannonading was heavier than in

Before night fell there had been
only one incident of Importance. That
was when Japanese air scouts, flying
high over the Kiangwan district be-
tween here and Woosing, spotted a
large body Of Chinese troops moving
into the front lines.
They gave the range to the ar
tillery and in a few moments the
guns were cutting the Chinese COL

cover but japanese headquarters said
heavy casualties had been inflicted.
During the day Japanese troops
occupied strategic positions on the

Urgent Appeal to
Japan Is Planned
League Will Not Recognize Ter

BY Occupation
committee Is INSTRUCTED
Will Ask Attempt at Under
standing Since Peace e.
forts Have Failed
Copyright. 1882, Bv The A. Pr


Geneva, Feb. 16.-(R-A drafting
committee of the League Of Nations
council was instructed Tuesday to
frame an urgent appeal to Japan,
asking her to cease hostilities in the
Far East and telling her the league
will refuse to recognize any territor-
ial changes which have occurred as q
result of Japanese occupation"
The committee got its instructions
from the IL neutral members of the
council Tuesday morning. and met to
compose the appeal for submission to
a council meeting scheduled for p.
m.
The council decided the co1nmun-
ication also should ask Japan to try
to reach an understanding with
China. AS for the territorial
changes" the council told the COM
mittee to draft the appeal on the
basis of Article x Of the league cove
nant which guarantees territorial in
tegrity Of league members.
The appeal was decided upon as
the result of a communication from
Sir John Simon to the effect that ef-
forts of four powers toward peace
had come to naught and that as a
result it was felt desirable to address
a pressing appeal to Japan.
The council men did not deal with
China's request for a meeting Of the
entire assembly of the league. A pub
lie council meeting will be held for
this purpose Thursday.
It was learned the Japanese del
egateS to the world disarmament
conference here had received instruc-
tons not to object to the holding of q
meeting Of the assembly but to "let
events take their course"
