LEAGUE PLAN
 WOULD KILL
 DOUBLE TAXES
Convention Will Be Sub- mitted to Nations for
 Approval
By STEWART BROWN

Un1tC0 FrCSS stan COrfCSOOn0Cnt
 Geneva-(UP)-The Fiscal com- mittee of the League of aNtions has drafted an international con- vention designed to abolish double taxation of industrial concerns op- erating in several countries.
 The league council meeting in September will be asked to forward the draft to all governments. with the request that they signify their approval or disapprovaM
 The fupdamental principle is that for tax purposes branch es- cerns must be treated as independ- cpt enterprises operating in a country.
 Separate Accounts
 This would mean that the tax able income of such concerns would be assessed on the basis of their separate accounts.
 This would do away with the double levy on many international business houses. Millions of dollars are involved. In many countries 1t has been the practice not only to tax the income of a foreign branch on its revenue made with in the country. but in addition to levy tax upon the business of the parent company.
 s.. Americans Led Fight
 { American business men have been particularly active in fighting this practice. NThe International Chamber of Commerce has gone on record against tax discrimina- ton against firms working in sev- eral countries
 . The proposed convention would restrict taxation to the actual in- come made within any country The system proposed is fairly sim pie, as 1t merely requires separate auditing.

EXPERT GROUP ON ECONOMY TO
 SEE PRESIDENT
Three of Them Will Confer on State of Finances s e cretary Woodin Meets Him Wednesday

Washington, Aug S-UP)-The president to-day will confer with a group of economic experts-James P. Warburg, and Professors George Warren of Cornell university and James H. Rogers of Yale. He smil- ingly declined to discuss the sub- ject of his conversations with these mystery men of hise administra- tion, but 1t was regarded as certain that thenation's complex monetary problems would be thoroughly re- viewed. Both Warren and Rogers for some time have ben engaged in surveying the gold situation and the international economic policy of the administration.
 Tomorrow Mir Roosevelt will see for the first time in several weeks Secretary of the Treasury Woodin. The secretary has been i'll of throat infection at his Newa York home and his Hyde Park visit will mark his initial extended outdoors trip since his recovery.
 The mine strike situation in Pennsylvania also occupied the presidents attention to-day but he felt confident the strikers would heed the appeal of John Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers and return to their jobs.

By FREDERICK c. OTHMAN Limited Press Stan Correspontlcnt) E Washington. (UP) - Next to Madame Secretary of Labor Per- kins, Nellie, Tayloe Ross is the most important woman fin Presi- dent. Roosevelt's administration.
 Mrs Ross is director of the United States mint and so has charge of mountains of dimes and the hills of dollars which the na- tion's money factories grind out each year.
 She has a <commodious office in the treasury building, with. an ex- cellent view of the White House grounds. There she directs the bus mess of manufacturing hard cash in Philadelphia, San Francisco and Denver, There she supervises the work of the nations seven as- say offices, which buy all Of Uncle Sam's gold and silver. And there Mrs Ross evolves her own philos- ophy. A sample:
 "Wifehood and motherhood Is the most satisfying and the highest career of a woman"
 Mrs Ross is the mother off, four CHiIuTeH, IWO OL WHOH dic uS- ceased. She was a devoted wife to William Bradford Ross, an attor- ney who became governor of Wy oming in 1923. Upon his death in 1924, she was named governor to fill his unexpired term.
 She thus was one of Americas s first feminine governors and so achieved international fame. Her regime was marked by. government tai economy and reform in Wy oming.
 Mrs Ross meantime evinced an exceptional ability in politics and soon entered the high councils of the democratic party. She was one of the important dignitaries al the democratic national conven- tion in Chicago last year. Later she campaigned vigorously for Presi- dent Roosevelt

It is the claim of the Waterbury Trust company that the allowance of $1,5OO monthly in addition to her annuity of $S,000, Is excessive
 It was intimated that all Of the groceries purchased for the Hewitt household are not consumed by members. of the family and that others are sharing the benefits of the estate.
 Mir Hickcox became very excited during the cross examination and begged the courts pardon several times. for using explosive Eng fish" and registering vigorous de- nials of any insinuations that $1,500 a month was unreasonable.
 To-day's hearing marks but an- other chapter of what promises to be q series of charges. Last Sat- urday 1t became known that At torney Klein, acting for Mrs He witt, had brought suit for .$200,000 against the Waterbury Trust com pany, as executor of the estate. Mrs Hewitt alleges a violation of a, pre-nuptial agreement. She claims that when she married MT Hewitt in March, 1896. he agreed, and repeated his promise several times. to leave her half of his es- tate. He died 'on September 26, 1882. His estate was later ap- praised at '$2S7,776.35. Mrs Hewitt was given an annual allowance of $8,000. On her death the estate is to be divided, one-third to a daughter, Nina Platt, and the re- maining two-thirds among the children of brother of the de- ceased, the late Samuel Hewitt.
 Mrs Hewitt has made a formal demand of one-half of the estate. The case Is scheduled for trial in the next term of superior court.
