ENGLEWOOD, N. j., Dec. 3
G.N.SO Morrow Lindbergh,
"a merry little fellow" wonders
what it's all about.
The air Of subdued excitement
the brightness in grandmother's
eyes-the, constant reiterationS Of
nurse:
Gust you wait, baby"
Something's going to happen,
but Jon Lindbergh does not know
what.
He does not know his mother
and father have flown an ocean,
twice, since he last saw them.
Doesn't know, as a matter Of
fact. that they are away. Time
slips away from year and four
months old baby so mysteriously
it might have been yesterday they
were in his nursery, laughing at
his comical attempts to walk.
Calm UnShaken
Now they are on their way
back, hurrying to be present when
he hangs his stocking for Christ
mas, Jon takes it with philosophi-
cal calm. His lack of understand
ing of the complicated matters
that make for hah-hidden ten
sion in the rest of the family
gives him the perfect welcoming
attitude, so far as his parents are
concerned. Jon won't have to
make an effort to welcome them
without a fuss.
The rest of the family is trying
to anticipate the return Of
Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lind,
bergh calmly, but it is hard for
them to do.
They know the LindberghS pre-
fer to slip right back into the
household, without undue excite
ment. They want to greet the IA
nous pair as they would like to
be greeted.
Wing Set Aside
No preparations for a party or
reception have been made, accord
ing to a friend, who said:
"The town knows them too
we'll. 1t knows they would pre-
fer to slip into the House, see
the baby and the rest Of the
family. and 90 to the privacy
Of their own rooms"

Judge GauSeWitz delayed his

j. 8. MAPS PLAN
Of RUM TRADE
BARGAINING
One Proposal Gives President
Power to "SWap" Tariff
Privileges Abroad
BY International News Service

Shrewd "hoss trading" whereby
Uncle Sam will seek to smash
tariff barriers against American
competition in world markets in
return for loosening up liquor
import quotas allotted to foreign
nations was forecast today.
Present plans call for double
barrelled attempt to develop for.
eign markets for American agri'
cultural and industrial products.
These include:
/. An unique method Of get
ting around the most favored
nation" treaties which have
hampered the Roosevelt tariff
reciprocity policy.
2. Bargaining for trade agree
ments with all liquor exporting
nations abroad.
The first plan is the most novel.
In Presidents Hands
Under the proposals of the in
terdepartmental committee. q
maximum and minimum tariff
duty would be placed on each
class of liquor.
The President would have
power to lower the tariff to the
minimum provided he can gain
trade concessions for the United
States.
The proposal also would give
the President authority to create
new classifications Of liquor un'
der the tariff act.
Thus, it was explained, the
President could say he would
lower the tariff on Scotch whisky
provided Great Britain lowers the
tariff on American wheat.
Every country would have the
right to ship Scotch whisky to
this country at the low rate
but Scotch whisky is made only
in Great Britain.
Treaties Seen Obeyed
Thus the most favored nation
treaty, under which the United
States binds itself not to give
tariff favors to one country
alone, would be avoided.
Similarly, the tariff could ba
lowered on Irish whisky, and on
certain wines produced only IN
Germany or France.
1.-THE plan is legal and does
not violate the most favored
nation treaties"
Speaker Henry T. Rainey Of
the House, saying this, added:
every country would be
given the same tariff on Irish
whisky, but no one makes Irish
whisky but Ireland"
Under the second plan. opening
Of foreign markets for American
agricultural and industrial prod
uctS through trade agreements
would be the only way in which
the United States could be in
duced to increase import quotas
on foreign wines and liquors.

New c,Sive was started in Sen
ate circles today for a Federal tax
on the income from some $40,-
900, 900 900 of outstanding tax
free Federal, State and municipal
securities.
Senator william E. Borah R)
OF Idaho, leading constitutional
authority, and Senator Henry F,
AshurSt CD Of Arizona literally
joined hands in urging imposition
Of such a tax as a means OF re-
ducing the tax burden on earned
income.
Up to President
They probably will force an
ultimate decision by President
Roosevelt on whether such pro-
vision should be included in the
next tax bill. Borah said:
"The question Of tax-free Sc
curitieS is one we ought to
postpone no longer. There is
supposed to be q constitutional
obstacle to any action on the
part of Congress, but 1 am not
convinced that obstacle exists.
1t is necessary to deal with tax
free securities even if we have
to meet the constitutional queS-
tiOn. Let US test it in the
courts"
Senator AShurSt. who Spon
sored a constitutional amendment
making Federal, State and mu
nicpilal securities subject to taxa
ton, said:

conclusion that q constitutional
amendment is not necessary. l

ment, which authorized taxes

source derived
ISSUE UP BEFORE
Ashurst predicted the Senate
would adopt an amendment to
whatever bill passes the HOUSE
taxing the income Of tax-free
securities.
He said the final decision would
rest with the President. If it is
enacted, hC added, the courts can
reach an early decision on its
constitutionality.
The issue was tested in the
Senate last spring. Then Senator
Clark CD of Missouri offered
an amendment to the Recovery
Act taxing income from these
securities.
It was adopted by a vote Of As

It was stripped from the bill in

RUMPROTESTS

Sentiment against the sale Of
liquor in Hyattsville was expressed
by 50 citizens last night when a
vote on the question was taken at
a special meeting Of the town
council.
After passing a resolution re-
questing the liquor board at Marl-
boro to defer issuing any permits
to Hyattsville merchants until
after a representative opinion Of
the residents on the question has
been obtained, the council called
for a vote of persons witnessing
the session.
Fifty-four voted against the
issuance of licenses, while none at
the meeting was for it. The reso-
luton, along with the vote, will
be forwarded to the liquor board
today.
The large majority that put
HyattSville in the wet column
last September IL in favor Of
a wet delegation to the State
repeal convention deprecated the
meeting. but preferred to cele-
brate the return Of liquor with
others in Bladensburg and other
areas where liquor was sold last
night.
The opposing faction was led
by Mrs. James Severe and the
Rev. George Oliver.
Mt. Rainier residents will have
a chance, to express their opinion
