ture publicity simply delayed the happy
ending of our negotiations with the
agent of the kidnapers of the Lindbergh
baby Dean H Dobson- Peacock said
today on his return from an airplane
trip to the home of Col Charles A. Lind
bergh near Hopewell, N. j.
Dean Peacock and his two associates,
Rear Admiral Guy H. Burrage and John
Hughes Curtis, were preparing this
afternoon to get in contact again with
the kidnapers' agent, with whom they
have negotiated at least twice before.
Yacht Ready to Leave.
Fully provisioned and ready to leave
on instant notice for an unannounced
destination either on Chesapeake Bay
or outside the Virginia Capes was the
seagoing yacht of Col. Charles H. Con-
solvo, placed at the disposal of the
three Norfolk men who are negotiating
for the return of the child.
All facilities of the Hampton Roads
Naval Air Station also were at the dis
to get in touch with the kidnapers'
agent.
Dean Peacock flew into the Hamp-
ton Roads Naval Air Station about noon
today with Lieut.. George L. Richard,
with whom he few to Philadelphia yes
today on the way to Col. Lindbergh's
home Dean Peacock appeared highly
optimistic over the prospects he and
his associates have of effecting some
deal with the kidnapers agent which
would restore the Lindbergh child to
its parents.
Curtis to See Agent.
Curtis probably will be the man to
meet with the agent and lay before
him whatever proposition Col. Lind
bergh has agreed to.
That Col. Lindbergh has agreed TO
work with the three Norfolk men is
obvious since they are going ahead with
their plans for carrying through to a
successful conclusion their negotiations.
Dean Peacock would not say what he

HEARINGS OPENED
ON ) MAPES BILLS
Senate D. c. Committee to
Consider Estate Tax
Measure First.

With the estate tax listed for con-
sideration first, the Senate District
Committee is beginning public hearings
this afternoon on the program of the
Mapes Committee of the House, de-
signed to increase the tax burden of
the people of the District to pave the
way for reduction in the Federal con-
tribution for District expenses.
The hearings are scheduled to get
under way at 2:30 o'clock, with officials
of the Bureau of Efficiency, the Dis
trict government and representatives of
civic organizations among those to be
heard. Thomas F. Murphy. assistant
chief of the Efficiency Bureau, is ex-
pected TO testify concerning the changes
which the bureau recommended should
be made in the estate tax bill as it
passed the House to make it more
equitable and to clarity it. The Dis
trict officials probably will include Au-
ditor Daniel j. Donovan and Assessor
William P. Richards.
Senator Capper, Republican, of Kan
SaS, chairman, will preside.
Five Bills in Program.
The Mapes Committee program con-
sists of five separate bills, four i'm
posing additional taxes and the fifth
seeking to repeal the substantive law
establishing the 60-40 ratio Of expense
between the District and Federal Gov
ernments In addition to the estate
tax, the three remaining tax measures
are. An increase in the gasoline tax
from 2 to cents a gallon, motor
vehicle weight tax and a local income
tax.
The Mapes Committee estimated the
four tax bills would total approximately
S4,000,000 of additional revenue from
District residents, of which S75O,000
was the estimated yield from the es-
tate tax
Chairman Capper plans to confine
the open hearing to the estate tax, fol-
lowing this up with hearings during
the next few weeks on the three other
tax measures. Then will come final
hearings on the 60-40 repeal measure
The hearings on the tax bills probably
will be confined to discussion of the
detailed provisions and effects of these
several forms of revenue.
Argument Anticipated.
60-40 law is taken up it is expected the
committee will hear arguments on the
effect the tax bills would have of widen
ing still further the gap between the
Federal contribution and the amount
the people of the District would have
to raise toward the total budget of the
Capital
Although Congress in recent years
has been making annual departures
from the percentage ratio in fiscal re-
lations by appropriating lump sum
Federal contributions in lieu of a def
mite proportion, it has never repealed
the substantive 60-40 law For last
year and the current fiscal year. the
Federal lump sum has been fixed at
$9,5O00 900, but the Mapes Committee,
in drafting the new tax bills, recon-
mended that the Federal share be re-
duced to $6,5000O0.

Tax on Stock Sales.
Also included in the substitute pro-
gram is tax Of "a of / per cent, but
not less than cents per share on sales
Of stock and a tax Of u Of per cent
on bond transfers. It is estimated that
the tax on stock sales will produce
$75,O00, 900, and the tax on bond trans
fers, $4,000, 900. 1t was explained that
the tax on stock would apply to trans
actions on cotton and grain exchanges
as well as the stock exchanges.
In the new program the income sur
taxes have been extended to include
from $4,000 to $4,000. Taxes of 10

SKELETONS 0f
 POWERFUL RACE OF MEN FOUND
They Were Uncovered in Palestine By Research
 Party They Adorned Themselves With Shells

New Haven. Conn, Dec 2.-(UP) Remains of a race of powerful. brutal-featured cave men who adorned themselves with shells have been found in Palestine by the joint expedition of the Ameri- can School of Prehistoric Research and the British School of Archae- ology, according to Professor George Grant MacCurdy of Yale. director of the American school. The fossils strengthen the belief that there were different types of Neanderthal man, Professor Mac Curdy commented.
 The Palestine Neanderthal was similar to Neanderthal specimens found in Europe in that he appear ed to have been powerfully muscl- ed, had eyes set under heavy brow ridges and a projecting jaw. How ever. the Palestine mans chin diff fered in contour and the front and side portions of his skull were more highly developed.
 One skeleton had a shell neck lace around it's neck and the re- mains of a shell cape was found near other remains.

OLD TRADING
 POST IS TOWN

Loveland, Cal = (U. P.) = A Spanish trader, looking for a place where he could barter and trade with the Indians. established Ma maqua Post, on the Big Thomp- son River, early in 1860. To-day the trading post has disappeared and in it's place is the thriving town of Loveland.
 The Spanish trader was Mari- ana Modena, and when he moved from the San Luis Valley, he took with him his squaw wife and her son. Louis Papa. The first thing they did upon coming to the new land was build a stage coach sta- ton.
 Louis Papa and the stage coach station are still among those pres ent in Loveland.
 Construction of the railroad from Golden, Col, to Cheyenne. Wyo, caused settlers to rebuild Loveland so it would be closer to the tracks.
 David Barnes donated one of his wheat fields and the town site was laid out in the fall of 1877.
 From this start, Loveland has come forward to take its place as one of the most progressive towns in the state.

HOOVER TO SEND
 MESSAGE WHEN
 CONGRESS OPENS
It Will Be on the Budget
 and Will Urge Reduc-
 ton in the Cost of Govt

Washington, Dec 2-(UP)- President Hoover today put the finishing touches to his budget measure expected to urge the most drastic reductions in the cost of government in recent history.
 The message, which goes to con- gross next Wednesday, is expected to center on two major proposals to help make up the huge federal deficit and balance the budget:
 1. Revision of the pay cut for federal employees, reducing the wage scale 10 ct 15 per cent in- stead of the present ''payless fur tough" scheme.
 9. Sales tax on all goods but the ''essentials of life."
 Economy provisions affecting fed- eral workers are being studied this week by the senate special economy committee, headed by Senator Bingham, repn., Conn. An open hearing will be held Saturday when employees will be permitted to present their views.
 The present "payless furlough" for government workers reduced their gross pay about 8 Ia per CClts liO RLC6A4OAG AOob ooAhAAACA favored this plan, while leaders in the house supported a straight pay cut of 10 per cent or more.
 It was believed MT Hoover would not recommended a fiat pay cut. He swung around to the sales tax last spring as last resort in the futile effort to balance the budget this year. Proponents of this leg islation insisted he would make it a major part of his tax recom- mendations in the budget mes- sage.
 Democratic leaders count strong ly on a beer tax yielding much revenue. It is reported MT Hoover intends to veto any beer bill. Many democrats feel a sales tax would be the only alternative. Tn senate economy committee, seeking new ways of reducing fed- eral expenses, was to confer today with Veterans Administrator Hines Budget Director Roop. Go mptrol- Ter General McCarl and Postnas- ter General Brown.

Local Student
 at Pig Roast
Much Excitement at An- nual Connecticut Aggie
 Meeting

The freshman class of Connec- ticut Agricultural college, repre- sented by many Waterburians, roasted a pig last night, and by that feat entered into the proud estate of college men. Because the sophomores failed to stop the roasting, freshmen heads today were held higher than ever. Cor don Little of this city was in charge of the first year students.
 The outcome of the annual rin- derclass "scrap" IS a serious chal- lenge to the traditional sophomore assumption of superiority. The freshmen secured the pig, roasted it for an hour over wood fire within half mile of the campus and so fulfilled the conditions of the contest.
 The sophomores meanwhile ran down fruitlessly several "Hot tips'' which led everywhere but to the scene of the roast.
