VoCateS Point Out
BY International News Servics

Demands for q Federal manu-
factureS' sales tax were renewed
before the House Ways and Means
Committee today despite the objec'
tions Of members opposed to the
levy.
The committee was told that
enactment Of a general levy would
relieve States Of the difficulty Of

and would relieve industry, hard
pressed by the special high sales
taxes voted by congress two years
ago.
Sites N. Y. Situation
q. State Senator Seabury Mastick,
chairman TO the legislative tax
committee Of New York, testified
that New York was faced with
difficulty in enforcing a State
sales tax because 80 per cent Of
the population lived near other
States which have no sales tazes.
MaStick said:
'"ThiS situation which ex-
lists in many States would be
relieved II there were . Fed.

Paul Klug, Of Chicago, speak

greSS on the radio industry would

Klug said:

produce the large revenue
which would put all industry

Radio companies now are taxed
while competing companies es-
cape these levies, he said. He
noted hte tax on new radios is
yielding only q little over two
million dollars year compared
with eleven million dollars es-
timated by the Treasury.
Speaking for legislative COM
mittees Of many States, he asked
the Federal Government to retire
from the gasoline tax field en-
tirely on June 80.
A. M. Loomis. Of the National
Dairy Union, and Fred Brenck-
man, Of the National Grange,

Mental Lapse Occurred

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 (I.N.S.).
Jesse L. Livermore, the spectacular
Wall Street operator, whose 26-
hour disappearance was q one-day
newspaper sensation, remained in
seclusion in the Park Avenue
apartment today. He was treated
by physician who indicated the
broker had been the victim Of an
attack Of amnesia.
Livermore, whose whereabouts
while he was absent from his
home still are somewhat Of q mys-
terry, refused to be interviewed by
reporters. His wife, the former
Mrs. Harriet Metz Noble, Of Oma-
ha, Neb., said he was "a sick man" +"
Needs q Rest
DR.. A. w. Allen visited the
Livermore apartment today and
later stated that the broker is
suffering from nervous eXhaus-
ton but will be all right after q
few days rest.
Asked II Livermore had sui.
fered q slight attack Of amnesia,
the doctor replied:
Something like that"
When Livermore returned home
early last night he told detec.
tives he had been with friends" !"
Later, however, it was an
nounced in his behalf that "his
mind had been a blank" and
that he couldn't recall what he
had done from the time he left
his office in lower Broadway
about $40 p. m. on Tuesday
until he woke up in a room in
the Pennsylvania Hotel about the
same hour yesterday.
Just "Sick Man"
In o telephone interview Mrs.
Livermore said that various
things" caused her husbands s
breakdown. She was asked:
did it have anything to do
with the stock market?"
"Oh, NO. Just various little
things bothered him"
She denied there had been any
domestic difficulty. She said:
Heavens, no! We are very
happy. My husband is q sick
man, but is Improving, and I
am happy about it,"
Both DR.. Allen and Mrs. Liver
more said that Lvermore could
not recall his wanderings; his
mind was simply q blank about
that. y
There was no indication that
Livermore would issue a state
ment today, or in the future.
No Crime Involved
Although police said there were
still some points they hoped to
clear up, they announced no vio-
lence or crime was involved in
the market operators disappear
ance and the case was closed so
far as they were concerned.
At the Pennsylvania, however,
search of the hotel register failed
to show that Livermore had regis
tered there under his own name.
The room he said he had occu.
pied, according to the manage
ment, has been for some time
held by a permanent guest.
