WAR ON SALARY
SLASH LOST IN
COMMITTEE
Economy Program Left in Bill
As 1t Goes to Senate;
Opposition Promised

An attempt to refer the pro
posed / 2-3 per cent additional
Federal pay cut back to the Sen
ate Economy Committee for re-
consideration was Overwhelmingly
defeated in the Senate Appropria'
tions Committee today.
When the Treasury-P Postoffice
bill; containing retrenchment pro.
posals recommended by the Econ.
omy Committee, was being con
sidered in the Appropriations
Committee, Senator James j
Davis (RD, of Pennsylvania
asked that the pay cut provision
be reconsidered. He was sup
ported by only one other Senator
Senator Tasker l.. Oddie (R.)
of Nevada, chairman of the sub.
committee on Treasury-P Postoffice,
who joined Davis in the request,
but it was overwhelmingly re-
jected.
Reported to Senate
The Treasury-Postoffice bill
was then reported to the Senate,
carrying the economy proposals
as recommended.
The bill amounts to approx.
imately $960,00O,00O.
Senator Charles L. McNary (R.)
of Oregon, majority floor leader,
predicted that the bill would
come up for consideration in
the Senate the latter part of the
week.
Pay Fight Due
A fight is scheduled in the Sen
ate when the bill is given con.
sideration. Several outstanding
members have announced their
opposition to the additional cut
proposed for the Federal pay roll.
Senator Hiram johnson (R0
of California, Senator John j.
Blaine CRO. of Wisconsin, and
Senator Tasker Z. Oddie (R.) of
Nevada are definitely opposed to
the proposed reduction and have
indicated they will fight its IN
actment. Senator william E.
Borah (R.) of Idaho will also op-
pose the cut.
Storm Due In House
In the event that the reduc-
ton is adopted by the Senate, it
is scheduled for a stormy visit
to the House.
Representative Henry T. Rainey
Cd of Illinois, majority floor
leader, has announced he will
throw the full force of his
power" against the proposed pay
slash.

Fee-Splitting Ban Is Urged
To Curb Bondsmen

Attorneys who pay fees to pro-
fessional bondsmen for obtaining
clients for them should be dis
barred, Representative Vincent l..
Palmisano CD of Maryland,
chairman of the House District
judiciary subcommittee, believes.
Palmisano made this viewpoint
clear in a letter he wrote to
Attorney John P. Mullen, who
sent a letter to the Marylander
last week urging him to push
through the House the King bill
recently passed by the Senate to
regulate activities of professional
bondsmen in Washington.
Palmisano wrote in part as fol-
lows:
"I do not know just what the
complaints are in the District
but from the tone of your let
ter it seems that bill should
be passed disbarring these at-
tOrneys who are paying fees to
these bOndSmen for soliciting
business. / am satisfied that
the bOndSmen would not solicit
business for an attorney unless
there was some consideration
for him to do So"
In a letter to Representative
Loring M. Black, jr. CD, New
York, also a member OF the judi
ciary subcommittee, Mullen urged
the Senate bill be amended so
local judges would have to pro-
mulgate rules prohibiting profess
Sional bondsmen from influencing
clients in the choice of attorneys.

PROBERS
EYE DATA ON
COMBINE
Senate Group Seeks Basis
for Agreement on Report
After Long Hearings

The Senate District Committee
in executive session today will
search the mass of evidence sub
mitted in recent months at hear
ings on local rents in an effort
to agree on a report which must
be delivered to the Senate to-
morrow.
Lasting over a period of months,
the rent hearings have covered
many phases of housing in the
District.
Senators Silent
Despite the protests OF real
estate operators, Oscar H. Brink
man, committee counsel, has
maintained that a combination of
realtors existed here and that
they prevented material rent re-
ductions.
Regarding their report, neither
Senator Arthur Capper (R) of
Kansas, chairman, nor Senator
Royal S. Copeland CD of New
York, would comment. .
It is doubtful, however, that
the committee will accept many
of the proposals for revision Of
realty regulations as proposed by
Brinkman.
Combine Denied
His recommendations went so
far as to ask prosecution Of op-
orators if it could be shown they
engaged in business in restraint
of trade.
The Washington Real Estate
Board has steadfastly denied ex-
istence of a combination and has
assured the committee that a
movement is under way to bring
about reductions.

= The attorney pointed out that
such rule would "render the

them by bondsmen with whom

Anti-Blue Law Body
Hits Sunday Arrest
Of Theater Men

New Years Eve arrests of
proprietors of theaters and en-
tertainment places are an ex-
ample of petty persecution
through the revival of stupid
Sunday restrictions that had
been forgotten by most people. +"
In that wise the arrests have
been denounced by the Ma
tional Association opposed to
Blue Laws, in a statement
which said further:
"This renewed activity in the
interest of enforcing a drab
and dismal Sabbath proves
once more the necessity for
eternal vigilance against puri-
tanical regulations and poll

TAX LAW CHANGES
 MADE PLAIN
One Section of l932 Act Repealed -Explana-
 ton Is Given

WASHINGTON, July 1.--Changes in income tax laws under the Ma tion a Industrial Recovery Act have been explained by Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue Guy T Helvering. tz5
 The principal change affecting individuals was repeal of the sec tion of the 1892 act which granted taxpayers to carry over capital and stock market losses to the follow- ing year to offset taxable profits. This section was repealed as of January l, 1883, so that loss now can be deducted only for the year in which they were sustained.
 Excise on Dividends
 An excise tax of per cent is imposed on dividends declared by corporations after midnight June IS, 1883, and paid to others that domestic corporations. The tax is to be paid by the corporation pay ing the dividend. This applies to dividends on both common and preferred stocks but not to interest raid on debentures.
 Corporations are required to pay an excess profits tax equivalent to 5 per cent of such portion of cor poration's net income as is in excess of 1912 per cent of the ad- justed declared value of its capital stock. This applies to each taxable year ending after June 30, 1883.
 The new law plugs some of the loopholes uncovered in the recent Morgan investigation.
 Private Banks Not Exempt
 Private banks no longer are ex- empt from the stock loss limita- ton under the old law. Tn addition mo part of any loss disallowed to partnership shall be allowed as a reduction to member of such partnership in computing net in come"
 The new law also imposes an ex- else tax of $1 for each $1,000 of adjusted declared value on the capital stock of any domestic cor poration for each year or fraction of year ending June 30. Returns for June 30, 1883, must be filed on or before July 3,.
