NO TIME TO QUIT

estate, even though she probably
will not receive a direct share Of
the estate, it developed here TO-

While authorities and towns

the torch-singing Libby can side
step the apparent barriers to her
share in the wealth of her slain
husbands family.
Can Become Guardian
Lawyers close to the Reynolds
family admitted Libby can estab-

herself appointed guardian for
her child when it arrives, and
until the little heir is of age would
be entitled to handle all it's funds.

Will Provoke Fight
In the meantime, the baby
would receive a full share of the
Income from the Reynolds estate,
and upon the ultimate division
of the estate would receive an
equal share with Dick Reynolds
and the two married Reynolds
sisters.
In the event she is acquitted
and attempts to make a fight
for a direct share of the estate,
the Reynolds clan will put up a
vigorous battle in the courts, a

Libby Holman Reynolds, the
once-famed torch singer" is
awaiting trial for the alleged
murder of her husband, Smith
Reynolds. the tobacco kings heir.

Alfred Holman, father of the
torch singer. He said Libby was
improving" but refused to allow
reporters to see her.
Holman said Bennett Polikoff

with Libby over the weekend,

The minister declared that any,
one who observes the laws of his
country is a good citizen. In
this connection he said:
"The laws may or may not
be good, but he who observes
the law of his land is a good

The start of the Transconti-

drew a huge crowd to the air
port. Each starter held high
hopes of finishing in the money,
and in certain circles odds were
laid on the pilot from Atlanta,
Doug Davis. This particular
meet, the largest ever held in
this city, reveals how woefully
inadequate our present airport
facilities are, and again brings
to mind the question of when
will the Federal Government
see the need of action in max
ing Washington'S airport the
country'S finest =. Considering
the handicaps under which
they had to work, Jack Wynne
and Chet Warrington, prime
movers in obtaining this event
for the city, are to be highly
commended for the excellent
manner in which the air show
was handled.
The United Air Lines claim a
new long-diStance commercial
transport operations record on
the completion of 99.8 per cent
of their scheduled 1,127,278
miles in July. During the month

Shifting the Burden

The evasion by the wealthy of the city of the provisions OF
the present tax intangible personal property set forth
as the principle arguments in favor of substituting
therefore local income tax.
But the ease with which the wealthy evade the intangible
tax will be nothing compared the and efficiency
with which they will evade the proposed income tax.
The District now gets little less than $3000000 year
from it's intangible property It estimated that the in
tax as substitute would bring in about $750000 more
That additional will not from the wealthy

They will do just many of them doing in regard

Tax officials of the District declare that they make

They won't be able to make the wealthy pay under the

But they will hound and Mr. Average Citizen out

Tremendous Drift
Toward Democracy

Whether that makes any
impression on the people will
depend on what the Demo-
Gratis do during the next
two and half months. just
now the people are not i'm
pressed. The unprecedented
Democratic vote in the Wis
consin primaries, the start
ling Democratic registration
in California, the results Of
all the congressional cleo
tions since 1880 point unmis-
takably to a tremendous
drift toward the Democracy.
We're the election held to-
day Mr.. Hoover would not
have Chinaman' s chance.
He will not have such a.
chance in November unless
the Democrats hand it to
him on the platter of dis
cord. And in the meantime
the strategy of the Repub-
lican politicians and press
will be to do all within their
power to create dangerous
dissensions within the Demo-
cratic ranks.
The Washington times., 1932-04-13
Democrats Must
Watch Their Steps

And what are dangerous
dissenions"? Not conflict
ing candidates.. With Dem
ocratic victory almost a cer-
tainty today, it would be
remarkable were there not
some clashing ambitions.
There are several candidates
in the field. All are men of
character and capacity. Not
one but has the right to
aspire to the nomination. In
the heat of the pre-conven-
tion fight, some bitter things
will be said; though it
seems impossible that as
many bitter things will be
said as was said between
the numerous Republican
aspirants for the nomination
in 1920.
And in the convention
there will be conflicts of
opinion on policy, just as in
the Republican convention.
But with this difference-in
the Democratic convention
opinion will not be gagged,
The Washington times., 1932-04-13
Republican Campaign
Already Marked Out

The Republican campaign
is already marked out-with
no escape from it. The Re-
publican convention will be
a cut-and-dried affair. With
greater reluctance than any
party has ever shown in all
our history it will nominate
the one man who can be
nominated. 7 h e Federal
machine will hold a close
rein on the convention. The
platform will be determined
in advance. The convention
will be personally con.
Quoted. The enthusiasm will
be "stage stuff,'' for real
enthusiasm there is none.
And the plea to the people
will be to vote a "well done,
good and faithful servant
to Mr.. Hoover. Necessarily
the Republicans will have to
defend the Administration
and it's fruits and call upon
the people to stand pat"
and "let we'll enough
alone" It will be a unique
campaign in that they will
not mention ga chicken in
every pot" or "the elimi-
nation of poverty, " or "high
wages and big dividends, -
or prosperity at home and
prestige abroad. "
But we may be sure that
one of the hoary claims Of
the Republicans will be to
the fore again-that the
Democratic party is not fit
to assume the responsible
ties of government.
