ONLY PARTS OF
TAX BILL UNSETTLED
Presentation to House Monday
Is Hoped For; centers
Around Sales Tax

Washington, March 5.-(P)-A final
drive was undertaken Saturday in the
ways and means committee to get the
big new tax bill in shape for presen-
tation to the house Monday.
Just two portions Of the revenue
measure remained to be settled; the
excise tax schedule, from which about
500 ,O00, 600 is to be derived. and adj
ministrative provisions Of the estate
tax which are to be changed. The ex-
else tax decision choosing the indus
tries to be taxed Is q highly contro-
versial subject.
As now shaped, the measure CEN
tiers around a manufacturers sales tax
Of two and quarter per cent, to be
levied on virtually every finished
product not definitely classed as q
necessity Of life. Provision has been
made not to pyramid the tax on pro-
ducts made up through repeated man
ufacturing processes. The amount to
be produced from this source Is esti-
mated 1t $685.. 900 900.
For the rest, the bill will carry In
creases In the individual and corpor-
ated income taxes, gift tax, higher
estate taxes. The rates for these all
have been approved together with
new administrative provisions to yield
more revenue from existing taxes. but
the committee has not made them
public. An estimated 5000. 000, 900 Is
to come from income and estate taxes,
and half that much from the admin
ktratiye changes.

At Shanghai about 10000 more jap.

BY BRUCE CATION

The Kidnapping OF small children has
made some of the most tragic stories
American newspapers ever have
printed.
From the days of the sensational
Charlie Ross case down to the pres
ent disappearance Of the Lindbergh
baby, the nations criminal history Is
studded with records of kidnapping.
In some cases-relatively few-the
missing youngsters later have turned
up alive, unframed, and restored to
their parents.
In more, only a corpse has been
found.
In a few. the mystery never has
been dispelled.
Undoubtedly the most widely known
kidnapping of former years was that of
Charlie Ross.
Charlie Ross was four years old, the
son Of well-to-do Philadelphia. On
a July day in 1874 he was playing when
two men drove up In spring wagon
and enticed him away. His older
brother, Walter. went with him on
a promise Of candy.
At a drug store the wagon halted
and Walter was given Is cents and
sent to get the candy. To this day
no one knows certainly what hap
pened to Charlie Ross after that.
Somewhat similar was the equally
mysterious disappearance Of Freddie
Leib In Quincy, ILL.,, in 1871.
Freddie, five years old, simply tod
died out to play and never came back.
A search that extended from one
coast to the other was begun, dozens
Of messages" were received, scores Of
rumors were investigated-but moth
ing was learned.
More recently there was the tragic
case Of Melvin Horst of Orrville, o.
Melvin, a lad of five, was last seen
by his mother playing a few days af-
ter Christmas in 1928. Night came and
the boy did not come in for supper. A
search began that has been carried on
to this day.
X
Somewhat like the kidnaping of
Baby Lindbergh. was the kidnapping of
l3-month-old Blakey Coughlin, who
was stolen from his crib in his faith
er's summer home near Norristown,
Pa. in the summer Of 1920. The kid
naper got into the nursery through a
window in the middle Of the night and
carried the boy away. For five years
so-called clues In this case kept turn
ing up, but all proved groundless on
investigation and the child was not
found.
Equally terrible are many of the
cases in which the mystery has been
cleared up.
Most notorious of all was the kid
mapping Of little Bobby Franks Of Chi
cago by Nathan Leopold and Richard
Loeb.
Bobby Franks vanished while on his
way home from school. After his
father had received letter demand
ing ransom, the boys body was found
under culvert on the outskirts of
Chicago. Leopold and Loeb, sons Of
