that the new table superseded pre-
vious data which indicated the pro-
vision for 10 per cent income de-
duction on incomes of $4,000 or less
would only slightly reduce income
taxes of TIE average man" The
new table showed the deduction
would come from the total net in
come.
For example a married man with
salary of $1,000 would deduct $500
as his regular exemption and $500.
leaving him but $500 income on
which to pay his 4 per cent tax.
at present he pays $40. Under Tic
new provision he would pay So.
The bill will not be retroactive
so it will not be a boon to tax
payers with in5tailmcntS due next
March.

the following additional revenue is
expected through the changes in
the tax structure:

ASK LENIENCY
FOR SLAYER

Los ANGELES, Jan. 81 (UP)
A jurist's plea to Governor James
Rolph, Jr., for clemency was seized
upon by Mrs. ROraria Ciani today
in the hope it will save her from San
Quentin prison to which she was
sentenced for killing her husband,
Albert, i'll a temporary fit of mad
ness
The plea was made by Superior
Judge Charles S. Burnell, processing
his regrets that hec ould not place
her on probation. Governor Rolph
is expected to pass upon the pardon
recommendation in the near fu-
ture.
Mrs. Ciani admitted pouring hot
lard over her husband as he lay
asleep and then hacking him with
an axe. She accused him of wrong
ing her over a period of 20 years and
of abusing their five children. She
said her mind went blank as she
attacked him.
She was arraigned on a charge of

3. Some further extension of
permission to merge existing COM
panies under the supervision of a
regulatory body
There was some disagreement as
to the extent of the elimination
OF competition, the report said.
Rigid regulation under a body
devoted exclusively to that duty
will reduce communication rates
by regulating profits, overhead ex-
penSe and intercompany charges:
prevent discrimination; control eX-
elusive contracts with hotels, rail-
roads and foreign countries: reg
ulate annual depreciation charges;
prevent speculative management
and watering of stocks, and permit
the extension of services to local
tiles and homes not now served,
the report said
Arguments for and against gov
ernment ownership were summar-
lied in the report which reached
the conclusion that communication
companies and their holding COM
panies should be privately owned
and operated for the present.

FRENCH CRISIS
BLAMED upon
BANK SCANDAL
Entire Cabinet Resigns As Re-
suit OF Recent Exposures In
Financial Debacle.
FEAR ROYALIST OUTBREAK
Chautemps Declines Request Of
President Lebrun To Form
New Government.

PARIS, Jan. 27. U,P) Presi-
dent Albert Lebrun today requested
Camille Chautemps, resigned pre-
mier, to attempt the formation of
a new cabinet. Chautemps, how
ever, declined to reform the cabi-
net.
PARIS, Jan. 81. W.P)-The cabi-
net resigned today as a result of
public indignation and demonstra-
tions over the Stavisky bank scan-
Cal.
Premier Camille Chautemps and
his ministers quit their posts after
riotous day in which crowds had
marched through the streets shout
ing threats. Led by royalist or
eanizations, the demonstrators had
planned an even greater demon-
stration for tonight
Fear Disturbances
Three developments had shaken
the French cabinet to its founda-
tionS.
l. Chautemps' minister of justice,
the eminent Eugene Raynaldy, re-
signed under fire, and his resigna-
ton was tentatively accepted. ~
2. The Paris "Matin," powerful
morning newspaper published let

Minister of Finance Georges Bonnet
with the notorious Stavisky banking
scandal
3. The French Royalists, taking
advantage of the first opportunity
for a real demonstration in years,
threatened disturbances tonight t
that would tax every law enforce
ment agency in the capital.
The cabinets action followed
meeting of about an hour, during
which time the crisis was discussed.
The ChautempS cabinet had been
in power since November 27, 1888,
when it took office after series of
governmental crises. ChautempS, We
teran politician, had built up his
position and was considered COM
paratively secure until the senSa-
tional Stavisky scandal, growing out
of the $30,0OO,000 banking collapse
and involving virtually all of France
broke his regime.
President Lebrun decided to ask
the cabinet to continue temporarily
to conduct current afafirs because
of the critical domestic and foreign
situations, particularly the recent
developments in Austria which has
been protesting German Nazi acti-
vities in Austria.
The President will start routine
conversations on Sunday with poll
tical leaders. Among candidates
mentioned are Edouard Herriot, for
mer premier, who visited the Uni
ted States last year, and Edouard
Daladier, former premier. Chau-
temps, however is certain to par
ticipate in the next government, al
though Georges Bonnet, finance
minister, is likely to be dropped.

"or any other old-fashioned King"

Germany we're flatly dashed today

the only loans which had been ap"
proved were for such small amounts
that they were of little use.
In addition FouldS states that due
to the pressure of his many duties

able to make out applications for

ACTRESS WILL
RESIST FIGHT
OVER ESTATE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 81. U.P)-
Attorneys for Jean Harlow, plat
mum blonde screen actress, planned
a determined court fight today to
contest claims for half of the
estate of her former husband Paul
Bern, whose life came to a tragic
end with q self-inflicted bullet
wound.
The claims were filed by Her.
man Koch, public administrator
of Sacramento county, in behalf
of the late Dorothy Millette, des-
cribed as Bern's one-time COM
mon-law wife. Bern's estate, rep
resented ir lie insurance policies
and real and personal property
was valued in excess of $37,000
Miss Millette leaped to her death
in the Sacramento river a short
time after Berns suicide.
The petition charged Bern and
Miss Millette assumed the status
of man and wife in 1911 and for
years the film director introduced
Miss Millette as his wife. Bern
provided for her even after his
marriage to Miss Harlow, the petit
ton claimed. The actress since has
married Harold Rosson, film cam
eraman, and has resisted all claims
presented on behalf of Miss Mill
cite.
Koohs attorney said Miss Mill
cites estate would revert to the
state provided heirs submitted no
claims.
The suit recalled circumstances
of Bern'S death which shocked the
film capital Sept. s. 1882 in the
honeymoon cottage" he occupied
with his bride of three months.
Before shooting himself, he penned
a note, which was found beside
his body when his wife returned
from visit with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Marino Bello.
Dearest dear, the message read,
unfortunately this is the only
way to make good the frightful
wrong 1 have done you and to wipe
cut my abject humiliation. 1 love
you. Paul. p S. You understand
that last night was only a comedy
The message, as far as the public
was concerned, was an enigma.
Miss Harlow profcsSed no know
ledge Of its meaning.
1t was only a few hours after
word of Bern's death was flashed
across country, that Miss Millette
boarded a river boat at San Fran
cisco and plunged to her death.
