NEW YORK, May Is G.N.S0
Two women and a man, innocent
wayfarers in fashionable upper
Broadway, were shot and seriously

Two black SedanS and a truck,
all laden with gunmen, ploughed
through Broadway from Eighty
first Street to Eighty-fourth, just
as, theaters were emptying into
the streets, and struck panic
among the crowds.
There was a wild scramble to
get back into the theaters and
into other sheltering doorways as
the gangsters' bullets rained upon
the crowds.
When the gangsters' jaugger-
nauts had passed, two women and
a man were lying in the street.
They were: Miss Irene Savage, "a,
and Sadie Fortine, 35, both of
fashionable West End Avenue, and
Walter O'Donald, of Hornell, N. Y.
Miss Savage was shot in the left
Miss Fortine in the back,
and ODonald in the forehead.
The latter two are in critical con-

The gangsters' cars were aban-

shooting, where the lead car
crashed into a railing.
Police, sWarming upon the
scene in the wake of the shooting,
arrived in time to surround the

GENEVA PLEA
. DRAWS FIRE
Of DAVIS
American Arms Spokesman
Rejects Proposal of Sato
+ To Scrap 5-5-3 Ratio

GENEVA, May 25 (I.N.S.).
Japan and the United States
clashed openly today for the
first time since the disarma-
ment conference began.
The conflict was precipitated
by an unexpected new japanese
demand for virtual naval parity
with Great Britain and the United
States.
AS an opening wedge for attain
ing naval equality with the other
two big sea powers, Naotake Sato
of Japan urged deletion of the
article in the present British dis
armament plan which binds the
signers of the Washington and
London naval treaties to the limi-
tations of these pacts.
Norman H. Davis, American
"Ambassador-at-Large." voiced i'm
mediate opposition to the Japa-
nese proposal.
Cites Public Opinion
He admitted deletion of this
particular section of the British
arms plan might not necessarily
affect actual disarmament, but
maintained it would have a de-
leterious effect upon public opin-
ion.
The United States, he told the
conference, is convinced that the
Washington and London treaties
comprised real limitation of naval
arms and therefore constituted a
great donation to international
peace.
He closed by expressing a hope
It would not be found necessary
to strike out the article.
Preset RtiO $50
Under existing treaties, the
British, American and japanese
navies are on a 5-5-3 ratio.
Japan is convinced, Sato said,
that adoption of the japanese
naval proposals., which were
never seriously considered by
other nations, would aid the
cause. of world peace. He said:
"These proposals, if adopted,
could not fail to exercise fav-
OrabIe influence on disarma-
ment efforts"
Signor Madariaga replied to the
assertions of the Japanese spokes-
man with a defense of naval
ornaments for smaller European
powers.
Five Powers Rule NavieS
He pointed out that the five
big naval powers of the world
possess a total of 4,276,000 tons

HOUSE PLANS
CHANGE IN
TAXLAW
Morgan Revelations Suggest
Limiting Capital Losses
To Year Incurred

Immediate amendment of the
income tax laws to prevent such
avoidance of income taxes as
disclosed in the Morgan investi-
cation was approved by the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee today.
The change, which would limit
the taking of capital losses on in
come tax returns to the year in
which the loss was incurred, will
be proposed in the House as an
addition to the industrial recov-
cry bill.
Passage Due Tomorrow
Further changes will be made
in the $7OO,000,0OO tax provision
of the industrial recovery bill,
which was called up today with
final passage slated for tomor-
row, if a subcommittee can COM
plete recommendations in time.
The Ways and Means Commit
tee named subcommittee COM
posed of Representatives Ragon
CD of Arkansas, Vinson CD of
Kentucky, and Treadway (R0 of
Massachusetts,, to investigate the
conditions under which j. P. Nor
gan and his partners avoided pay
ment of all income taxes for two
years. Ragon said:
"We decided to offer an
amendment to the pending bill
which would limit the taking
of capital losses to the years
in which they we're incurred.
This provision was voted by
the House in the tax bill last
year, but it was rejected in
the Senate. Under present law
a taxpayer has two years in
which to take capital losses to
reduce or wipe out his income
tax.
OTHER CHANGES POSSIBLE
whether this amendment
will result in change in the
tax program we have recon-
mended is not certain. We
will also make other investiga-
tiOns and possibly recommend
other changes"
The House committee also de-
cided to change tax provision in
the pending bill to require elec-
trio utilities to pay a 3 per cent
tax on domestic consumption of
electricity instead of the con-
Sumer.
The abrupt decision to propose
the tax amendment was made as
widespread opposition in the
House was disclosed to the $7OO,-
100000 tax program, which bears
heavily on small income tax pay
ers and leaves the upper brackets
untouched.
Petition Received
AS the House began debate on
the industrial recovery bill, which
includes suspension of antitrust
laws, a $3,300,0O0,O0O public works
program and the tax plan, spokes-
men for mayors of so cities pre-
sented petition to Speaker
Rainey asking liberalization of the
bill.

portrait of the ANGLICAN benevol-

Pecora, savage as a timber wolf

at the slim, elusive Whitney, only
to miss his prey and fall back
with a snarl.

Morgan Paid Britain
$4,000 a Year

j. P. Morgan, financial monarch
of the house of Morgan, paid the
British government 1000 pounds
$35,OOOO annually in taxes in the
years 1890, 1881 and 1882, he
told the Senate Banking Com
mittee today.
In the last two years, Morgan
admitted paying no income taxes
to the American Government. In
1880, he paid a share Of $4,000
in income taxes paid by the 20
members of his firm.
The Washington times., 1933-05-25

The statement revealed that
slightly more than $4,000, ,OOO, 900
worth of securities of all kinds
backed by the golden name of
Morgan-have been sold to the
public since January /, 1919, of
which slightly more than $4,000

INDEPENDENCE DAY is just another holi-
day, nowadays--a day on which we go on
picnics, or get the car out for long drive
into the country, or trot off to see a ball game,
or hop on an excursion train for little trip
to the city.
Children set off frecrackers and grown-u ups
take advantage of an extra days idleness.
Everybody enjoys the hoHday-and hardly any
of us stop to remember just what it's all about,
or think just what we're celebrating.
And that very fact is. perhaps, as good an
omen as the most patriotic hero of '76 could
have wished for his descendants.
Years ago, when grandfather was a boy,
they took their Fourth of July celebration
seriously, The winning Of American freedom
seemed very real and very recent, then. The
country still was relatively small, as nations go.
Europeans were still inclined to look down
their noses when any one mentioned the
United States of America.
In sheer self-defense Americans had to get
together once a year. let the eagle scream and
retell the splendid old stories of the Revolu-
ton
But a lot of water has run under The
bridge since then. Our nation has grown up,
and no one denies its right to stand among
the leaders. And because of that fact we
don't need to celebrate our national birthday
as exuberantly as we used to.
We can take our independence, our great
ness, our freedom, for granted, in other words
We're used to them We know they are things
which no one take away from us.
We don't have to make lot of noise and
burn lot of red fire once every year to re-
mind ourselves Of their existence.
So we celebrate the Fourth in different
way All over the land today there are happy,
carefree people taking holiday in honor of
their nations birth-and forgetting, many of
them just what it is that they are celebrating.
In that very forgetfulness is the most solid
of all proofs that the nations birthday is a
great occasion. 1t bespeaks safety security,
and freedom.
