LUMBER GRAF 7
GOES DOWN
OFF CAPES
Schooner Under Tow BY
Coast Guard Cutter at Time;
Three Are Saved

NORFOLK, Va, Feb. 10 G.N,SJ
A raging, snow-swept sea today
had claimed the lives of three
members of the crew of the
schooner Purnell T. White. Tossed
on her oeam ends by a 45-mile
gale, the schooner, loaded with
lumber and bound from Georgia
to New York, foundered late last
night so miles off the Virginia
Capes while being towed to port
by the Coast Guard cutter Men
dota.
Three members of the crew were
rescued by the Mendoza
They are: Lind Ragner and L.
L. Spencer, both seamen, Of New
York, and Nick Ivisora, seaman,
Of Sweden.
Those who Were Lost
CAPT. CHARLES NICHOLES,
master, of Salisbury, Md.
FIRST MATE PIDER. Of Cali
1ornia.
JOHN OLSON, seaman, address
unknown.
The schooner reported in dis
tress on Wednesday night and
the Mendoza was sent to its res
cue. For two days the Coast
Guard vessel fought heavy seas
in an attempt to tow the dis
tressed ship to port. Last night,
however, the Purnell T. White,
sent up flare for help.
Immediately, the Mendoza cut
loose her tow. and, while lookouts
strained their eyes through the
dense mist, attempted to ap-
proach closer to the disabled
vessel.
Crew Pitched Into Sea
Suddenly, as though laid by q
giant hand, the schooner Tipped
over on her side, pitching the
crew into the sea.
A radio message sent by the
Mendoza said:
'With great difficulty three
men were picked up"
The Mendoza circled about the
wreck for several hours in an
effort to find the other members
Of the crew, but eventually was
forced to abandon the search.
The Mendoza is expected to
arrive here with the survivors
some time today.

VOTE ON SALES
TAX URGEDBY
MRS. KAHN
Big Expenditures Call for Re-
liable Method of Revenue,
She Warns Colleagues
BY FLORENCE P KAHN
Member Of Congress From Call
fOrnia

IOrn12
written Expressly for the Hearst
Newspapers
Congress should pass a manu-
facturers' sales tax as a means
Of balancing the Federal budget.
Those interested in a manu-.
facturers' sales tax. to raise reve-
nue. sufficient to wipe out nu1.
sance taxes and lower, If not do
away with. the income tax (for
that would be the ideal condi.
tion), realize that there is a long
educational campaign ahead.
Would Bar Pyramiding
This tax should not include
food, medicines or clothing, and
the act must be so drawn as to
preclude pyramiding, for that
would be disastrous.
There is no logic or reason in
the present nuisance taxes, which
are actually sales taxes levied on
particular products With each
tax bill new ones are added, in
creaSing the list with no dis
elimination or connection.
The incongruities would be
amusing if they were not so Sc,
riouS. For example, electric re-
frigerators are taxed, but not cleo
trio washing machines. Colt shoes
are taxed but not dancing shoes.
matches are taxed but not the
lighter in your pocket that serves
the same purpose: and so on in
endless numbers.
A manufacturers sales tax put
on at the source soon becomes
absorbed, with frequently the re-
taller and consumer unconscious
Of it..
Easiest to Endure
With the enormous expenditure
Of billions by the Government
piling up billion upon billion, some
way must be found to raise the
money for these obligations.
No tax in the world was ever
popular. The easiest tax to en-
dure is the most painless one
and that is manufacturers sales
tax without the opportunity to
pyramid. 1t should, of course. eX-
empt food, clothing and medicine.

Shortly after her intro

of confning herself to obtain
