SENATE BALkS
At POWER TAX

Final enactment of the budget
balancing venue bill today
awaited adjustment of a. major
dispute between House and Sen,
ate over the electrical energy tax.
The Senate, refusing to accept
the House provision transferring
the 3 per cent power levy from
consumers to the power compa,
nies, wrote a substitute of its
own.
This provided for a 2 per cent
tax on the gross sales of privately
owned power companies and
per cent tax on all electricity
used by Industrial concerns,
whether bought from a CONNER
cial producer or manufactured by
the industry for its own use. The
conflict probably will cause the
bill to be sent to conference.
The Senate approved the
House provisions continuing the
one-cent Federal gasoline tax in
effect another year and empower
ing the President to change
postal rates.

z REDS QUIT
AS F. HUNT
LEADERS
Admitting Communism Link,
They Resign to "Unify"
Rival B. E. F. Factions

Emanuel Levin and Harold
Hickerson, Communist leaders
of the bonus army encamped
at Fort Hunt, Va, resigned
today to bring about peace
between rival veterans forces.
The designations were unani-
mously accepted at a dramatic
open-air meeting attended by
more than a thousand veterans
A vote of thanks to them was
adopted by the assembly.
Immediately after the resigna-
tion was accepted, George D.
Brady, member of the Veterans
National Liaison Committee, who
presided as chairman over the
meeting, left for Washington to
confer with other veteran groups
here to urge them to go to Fort
Hunt and unite in the common
cause.
Communists? Sure
In making his speech of
resignation, Levin pointed out
that the veterans cause is a COM
mon one, and there is no place
for dissension in the ranks.
Hickerson, who has been secre-
tary of the national committee,
in making his resignation, said:
1--WE appeal to you to accept
our designations. The cry has
been raised that we are Com
munistS. No one has denied
that, but it seems strange that
anyone should be held account
able for his political beliefs. I
assure you that we have worked
on the veterans program alone"
More than 1900 veterans from
all parts of the country were at
the camp today.
B. E. F. Seeks Site
Meanwhile, leaders of the B.
E. F., Inc, and several congress-
men were negotiating through
the White House in an effort to
have a site selected for housing
the 200 who had refused to join
the Communicated group at Fort
Hunt. It was understood that
plans we're underway to have a
large tract of land in the District
turned over to the veterans and
on which tents may be pitched.
Meanwhile, the recalcitrant vet
Grams launched a drive for food
and funds by canvassing local
dealers and through the sale of a
magazine.
Some of the men are being
taken to the $500 block Pennsyl-
vania Ave. N. W., where there are
bathing vacilities. A local physi-
clan, who said he was friend of
the veterans, was on hand this
morning and treated those who
had sore feet.
Garage Suggested
One of the sites for which the
men are negotiating is an
abandoned garage near Four-and-
Half and c Streets S. w. 1t

PLOT TER
Aunt Here Convinced Beauty
Contestant Martyr of
Policy Scheme n

While New York police, on
the trail Of an insurance muir
der racket, were investigating
mysterious circumstances sur
rounding the death of Miss
May Bell Carlson, a, pretty
Washington brunette, the
girls aunt today revealed
that she is certain her niece
met with foul play.
Eight alleged members Of an in.
Surance racket gang are under ar
rest in New York. These suspects
are believed to have been named
beneficiaries in the insurance poll
cieS OF Miss Carlson; Michael NAL
10y, an unemployed fireman, and
second unidentified man, whom
the gang failed to kill.
BoOtlegger's Fiancee
The girls aunt, Mrs. Ellen
Waters, of the 45OO block Georgia
Ave. N. w., who cared for the al.
legged racket victim when she was
child, was called to New York
the day of Miss Carlson's death,
March II, 1882. and brought the
body here for burial in the family
plot in Glenwood Cemetery.
Miss Carlson, according to her
aunt, was the sweetheart of An
thony Marino, a Speakeasy pro-
prietor, who is being held without
bail in New York. According to
New York police, the girl carried
an insurance policy for $500,
naming Marino as her beneficiary.
Further information received
by District Attorney Foley of
New York, said the girl met her
death when, piled with whisky,
she was stripped of her clothing
and left in an airy room in a
bed the sheets of which had been
doused with cold water. She died
of 'lobar pneumonia.
Was to Marry Suspect
Mrs. Waters said that when
she went to New York to claim
the body, she was impressed
by the odd circumstances sur
rounding the death. She was
first notified of her niece's death
through Marino.
Mrs. Waters claimed that her
niece was living with Marino
and had been about to marry
him. She was helping him take
care Of his baby son after his
wife left him, Mrs. Waters said.
Mrs. Waters also said her
niece was married about three
years ago to Wilbur Crouch, of
this city, and had left him to
go to New York. She was going
to marry Marino as soon as she
was divorced, Mrs. Waters claimed.
While in New York, Miss Carl
son was employed in Yonkers
beauty parlor. She had been
close runner-up in several beauty
contests.

ROBERTSON
| NOT To RIDE

Kurtsinger Replaces Him on

Declared Sound
BY DAVIS J. WALSH
News Service Sports Editor

PIMLICO RACE TRACK,
BALTIMORE, May 13 (I.N.S.).
One horse, Pompoleon, was
definitely out. So was one
rider, A. Robertson, on the
favorite. But, barring a few
additional changes of mind
and conditions, the annual
Preakness stake was ready for
its running this afternoon at
q mile and three-sixteenths,
with fair skies, a field Of ten,
,and a carnival crowd Of
$4,000. -z4daaA-., .-........-,.
Still an entry after night
of vague uncertainty, Brokers
Tip, the Kentucky Derb win
ner, apparent was ready to re-
play his dramatic stretch duel
with Head Play, overnight favor
1te at odds of 2-to-1.
The Bradley horse took another
workout this morning and later
was pronounced sound, there be-
ing no evidence of injury to
his forefoot.
Head Play suffered a setback
when Robertson, engaged to ride,
had to withdraw, owing to con-
tract obligations.
However, Head Plays handlers
finally signed up Charley Kurt
singer, another good rider, for
the race, thus making everything
0yen.
Track Slow
So, like Finnegan, the we'll
known railroad man, the great
Head Play-Broker's Tip drama
seemed to be on again, though
fear was entertained that E. R.
Bradley might yet decide against
She race.
The track not being altogether

and cuppy from recent rains and,
although the sun came out for
the first time in a week here, it
was pretty pale and insipid and
the chances seemed better than
fair that rain might come before
nightfall.
In this case. Brokers Tip would
be at a disadvantage, whereas
entries like Silent Shot and even
Head Play would benefit accord
ingly. The favorite, however, is

MONEY CHECK
HITS MEANS
TESTIMONY
Ransom Cash Not Found When
HasseI-Greenburg Fortune
In N. ]. Is Checked

CASTOR B. Means sensational
story Of the kidnapping Of the
Lindbergh baby today was
shattered in one vital part.
Means, on trial with Norman
r. Whitaker, 'The Fox" on a
charge of conspiring to secure
$35,OOO from Mrs. Evalyn Walsh
Mclean in connection with the
return of the child, testified that
the $4,000 ransom turned over
to the kidnapers by "Jafsie" was
in the possession of Max Hassel,
New Jersey beer runner killed
last month.
But New Jersey State police,
who opened HasSe's safe deposit
box and found $214,OO0 there,
stated today that they had
checked the serial number Of the
bills and that they were not the
Lindbergh money.
Members Of Gang
Hassel and Max Greenberg,
found shot to death in an Eliza
beth hotel, were members of the
kidnap gang, Means testified in
his story, which was completed
late yesterday after the ex-convict
and ex-Department Of Justic e
agent had been in the witness
chair for two days,
Meanwhile nationwide search
was launched for wellington
Henderson, described by Means
as the "head man and brains"
of the kidnap gang, and his aide,
Irving Fenton.
Henderson, it was said. was at
one time an important figure in
the Communist party, but dropped
from sight many months ago. He
is believed to be dead.
A search of all records failed
to reveal any trace of Fenton,
and District Attorney Leo A.
Rover expressed doubt that any
such man exists.
With Means story completed,
the trial was adjourned until
Monday morning, when the de-
fense is expected to wind up in
short order.
Not the Fliers' Son
Perhaps the most sensational
point of Means long story was
when he claimed that the body
identified by Colonel Lindbergh
as that of his son was not the
kidnapped baby but a plant"
At that time, Means said, the
baby was still in a hideout in
Juarez, Mexico, where it had
been taken and arrangements
made to turn it over to Mrs. NC
Lean in return for 100000 in
ransom.
This 100000, which sent
Means to prison for IS years,
a sentence which he is now ap-
pealing to the United States SUI
preme Court, was also secured by
Hassel and and Greenberg, Means
testified.
He related of turning the money
over to a mysterious figure who
tagged him on the highway late
one night with a red lantern and
whispered the code number OF
Mrs. Mel can.

Perfume in a glamoroub bottle Is something that any woman would love to find in her stocking on Christmas morning. Most girls love new perfumes-odors that they haven't used before--and, if the bottles are handsome, they'll be doubly grateful.
 For instance, a famous French manufacturer of cosmetics has just brought out a gorgeous perfume which comes in a box made of small mirrors.
 Of course, if you know the kind of perfume a girl always uses and also know that she prefers that to all other kinds, by all means give her some of that. If it's an ex- pensive brand and your Christmas budget is limited, get very small bottle of the scent. But get some anyway.
 Honeysuckle and ferns at twi- light are new flower .odors. The former is sure to please a dainty, sweet, blonde miss and the latter would be adored by girl who likes breath of freshness rather than heavy perfume.
 Colognes and toilet waters are acceptable gifts, particularly for women who aren't lovers of per- fume. English lavender is a popu- lar cologne scent and verbenia, gardenia and violet are marvellous toilet water odors.
 NEXT: A new facial mask.

STRENGTHENING CROOKED TEETH

Irregular and crooked teeth Ctermed mal-occulsion) should not be neglected. It. is recognized that mal-formed tooth arch is the in- direct cause of dental decay, and may bring about weakened con dition of the tissues surrounding the teeth, eventually causing "py- orrhea."
 How can irregular teeth bring about tooth decay? Dental decay may result from the accumulation of certain foods (carbohydrates) around the teeth and the action of bacteria on these food deposits. The result is the formation of an acid which eats through defective surfaces of the teeth., In other words, before we can have decay we must have, first of all, tooth structure that cannot resist decay; secondly, we must have an accu- mutation of carbohydrate debris from food. The irregular spaces caused by the mal-occlusion can not be reached by a toothbrush. Her the remnants of food gather that are so frequently the cause of a tooth becoming decayed.
 Later in life these same irregu- lar spaces allow food to pack down Between the teeth and irritate the gums and bone around the teeth, subsequently causing the loosening of the tooth.
 In addition to these disadvan- tages of irregular teeth, the ap-

 "Yes," Bannister told him. They talked for a few minutes and Ban mister learned that his new ac- quaintance was reporter on the opposition evening paper, that this was Fleming's day off duty but he was hanging around", spend- ing bus mans holiday.
 He learned further that McNeal had intended keeping secret the apprehension of his blond prisoner but that someone had Spilled" it.. That was why there had been no mention in the morning newspaper of the girls Imprisonment.
 Gajney appeared a few minutes later, eager to talk about the case. He and Bannister spent the rest of the morning at headquarters but the time proved fruitless. At 12 o'clock he was present when 9 Bannister drifed out for lunch and resently was back.

 But don't you see that so long as you don't they'll keep you here?"
 "Then I'll stay"
 The woman in the blue uniform was making her way toward them.
 "Visiting times up," she an- nounced. "You'n have to go, Mis- ter"
 The woman waited beside him and there was nothing for Bannis- ter to do but leave. :, "Ill come back" he promised over his shoulder. "And want you to think about what I've said" Then he was outside and the heavy door bolted behind him. Slowly Bannister made his way back to Captain McNeais ofhce: What a mess this whole thing was! Tracy Kings murder was as Tar from solution as it had been when his body was found. The police were going around In circles, get- ting nowhere. That girl back there - Bannister swore softly. he couldn't believe she was mur- deress. And yet there was so much to prove it, She had been m kfngs apqartment, had admitted It. II
 McNear knew about the reVoi- yer! .r Bannister swore again. By this time it was altogether possible that McNeal did know. He might even have the gun. If he did, and the ballistics expert, could prove that the bullet that killed the orchestra leader came from that revolver, It would be over. The girl he had inst left wouldn't have a chance.
 She'd, get life at least. Refusing to talk, to, say anything about her self made the situation worse. She was a pretty girl but in spite or that no jury could overlook sucp
 overwhelming evidence.
 Overwhelming was what 1t
 was. Then it occurred. to Ban
 mister. piecing out the damaging facts and narshalling them before him. that his testimony and his alone could convict Juliet France. He had seen her come from the hotel. had seen the revolver in her handbag. It was to him that the girl had confessed going to Kings apartment. Yes, those facts-even though they were circumstantial- were enough for a conviction. Men have been hanged for less.
 Suddenly Bannister stepped tor- ward more briskly. Maybe they
 would succeed in making case against the girl but he was cer- tain of one thing. What he knew about Juliet, France he would keep to himself. If she was a murderess time would prove it. He didn't
 want to believe it and he wasn't
 going to--yet.
 H ethought of Jim Paxton then and his promise. Bannister had agreed to turn over to. Gainey ! everything he learned about the
 murder so that Gainey might write it for the Post. We'll, he would keep that promise but he would
 keep it later.
 In the wing of the headquarters building reserved for the detec-- 1 tiyes' office Bannister encountered the young man who had given him
 the information about Juile'
