Bic CATCH
"Granddaddy Of All CraWfish"
Hauled on to Yacht; Fish
Are Plentiful

MIAMI, April 7 GN.S0.-A
catch including the grandfather
of all crawfish" was reported by
Vincent Astor today from his
yacht, the Nourmahal on which
President Roosevelt is vacationing.
The luxurious pleasure boat was
lying off Anguila Island, and AS
tor reported that the latest ang-
ling effort of his party brought in
innumerable fish of all varieties.
His report said:
This is a grand spot, and our
aquarium grows. The President
had swimming party in morning
at extra fine beach. Please send
plane with mail and papers,.
The Nourmahal was expected to
remain near White House head
quarters, established at the Miami
Biltmore Hotel here, over the
weekend.
Cleans Up Work
Mr.. Roosevelt continued to
clean up a normal White House
days work aboard the vacation
craft. He was busy during the
forenoon debating messages to
shore which were to be relayed to
the White House. After lunch,
however, he gave up care for the
day and put out in small boat to
try his luck at fishing.
On Monday the presidential
luck will meet a stiff investigation.
Members of the press who have
been down here covering the Exec.
utive's cruise will rendezvous with
the President at sea for a check
on the fish caught.
Several days ago Elliott Roose-
welt, a son of the President, re-
ported that his father had little
luck with his tackle. This was
after the son visited the President
at sea and brought strenuous pro-
tests from the Astor yacht.
Investigation" Set
A swift retort from newspaper
correspondents covering the Presi-
dent followed. The President
humorously suggested appoint
ment of committee to investigate
the facts.
Newspaper men were equally
swift with an offer to serve as
the said committee. And the
President accepted.

ARMS TANGLE
Bv International News Service

By International News service
Persistent conflicting reports
from London concerning the atti-
tude of the United States toward
action to guarantee enforcement
of international arms agreements
were regarded in high official
circles here today as a deliber-
ate campaign on the part OF
Europe to draw this country into
the present politically tinged
European disarmament discus,
SionS.
Great Britain, especially, was
believed to be seeking to maneu-
yer this country into a new decla-
ration on the question of making
commitments in advance in order
to satisfy Frances security de-
mands. France wants definite
guarantees that sanctions will be
invoked against any nation which
violates an arms pact.
In this connection, a high State
Department official said the de-
cision of this Government to re-
frain from any advance commit
ments which would endanger its
freedom Of action at any time
remains definitely unaltered.
Attention was called to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's statement at a
recent press conference that the
United States was not prepared to
go any further than outlined by
Ambassador Norman H. Davis at
Geneva last May.
At that time, Mr.. Davis ex-
pressed the willingness of this
Government to waive certain
rights of neutrality and refrain
from any action tending to offset
measures which other nations
might take against an aggressor,
providing this country agreed con-
corning the guilt of the aggressor.

WEDDING PLANS

LOS ANGELES, April 7 G.N.S).
It was Christmas Eve, in 1882,
and big executives and office boys
and stars and $5-a-day extras"
were mingling in the impressive
offices of Harry Joe Brown on

elegant party.
Mr.. Brown, Well-known film di-
rector and famous, too, as the

TAX
TILT DUE IN
SENATE
Straight 1-Year Increase In
Levy on All Incomes Is
Now in Prospect
BY International News Service

A special one-year levy imposing
a flat 10 per cent increase on all
income taxes may be written into
the Administrators new tax bill
by the Senate next week to raise
an additional $55, 100000 to pay
for the recovery program.
This was the prospect today as
Administration leaders announced
acceptance of the CouzenS amend
ment. It would authorize the COM
putation of income taxes upon
the schedules now written into the
new bill, but compel the taxpayer
to add 10 per cent to his payment
as a "token" contribution to re-
covery funds.
PrOgressiveS Unanimous
The whole Senate progressive
bloc endorsed the proposal. They
insisted the present generation
should bear a larger share of the
tax burden necessitated by relief
and emergency expenditures.
The SIS, 100000 income tax in
crease will be accompanied, in all
likelihood, by a $95, 100000 in
crease in estate taxes. The new
Lafollette scale also has admin
istration approval. It would
exempt fortunes up to $4,000 but
impose a new and higher scale Of
rates on estates in excess of that
amount. The maximum rate
would be so per cent on estates
in excess of $10,O0O,000.
The Senate already has added
100000 to the Finance Com
mittee's income tax rates, by in
creasing the lower brackets of sur
taxes. This increase brought the
anticipated income tax revenue up
to House figures, because the COM
mittee previously knocked off
$7,O0O,OOO by increasing the
earned income allowance from
$4,000 to $4,000.
Added Total 228 Millions
The bill, as it stood when the
Senate recessed for the weekend,
carried taxes expected to produce
337 million dollars Of revenue.
This was an increase of 79 million
dollars over the House bill.
On top Of this, the Senate may
add $50 million dollars more by
adoption of the La Toilette estate
schedule and the Couzens special
tax. Their approval would bring
the bills anticipated total revenue
to 489 million dollars or 228 mil
lion dollars more than the House
bill is expected to produce.
Administration leaders hoped to
enact the bill by Monday night.
They must settle disputes over
number Of minor issues and meet
the demands of progressiveS for
complete publicity of income tax
returns. A substitute plan may be
offered by the Administration to
the La Toilette amendment for
complete publicity but there were
indications the Senate would vote
to make all returns public prop
erty.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April Z
G.N.S0.-A mysterious woman
dressed in white, two colored
burglars, and a shabbily dressed
white man were sought here to-
day by police investigating the
murder of Bert F. Callahan, As,
wealthy real estate man, found
murdered in his luXuriously fur
nished home here.
These shadowy figures we're in
jected into the murder investiga-
ton as the homicide squad as
sembled reports of the move
ments of Callahan just before he
met violent death after a terrific
struggle in the 1O-room house
where he lived alone.
No trace of the woman in
white whom Lieut.. Chester But
Ter, of the State police saw fit
ting about the porch of Mr.. Cal
lahan'S home at the approximate
hour of the murder had been
found.
A check revealed a $4,000 dia-
mond ring had been wrenched
from Mr.. Callahan's finger, that
his watch and an automatic
pistol were missing. The house
had been ranSacked.
A mysterious shadow" was in

Callahan in a wash room of the

FOR DADDY
FAILS BABY

"Dear Judge: I am a little
girl 8 years old and Sunday is
my birthday. This is the first
time my poor daddy has been
away on my birthday-sO, dear
judge, please will you let him
out of jail?"
Such was the substance Of a
letter received today by Police
Court Judge Ralph Given. How
ever, as assistant District at
torney for Is years, the judge
has developed a broad knowl'
edge of human nature. He de-
cided the letter was too well
written for an 8-year-old girl.
When the father, Joseph A.
Thomas, of the 700 block Eighth
st. N. E., appeared before him
today, after a ten-day stay at
Gallinger Hospital, the court
questioned him about his family.
Mr.. Thomas said he had g
stepdaughter, Theresa, IS years
old, and that her birthday was
in October. He had no knowledge
of the letter. Said the court:
"ThOmaS, 1 sent you down to
GalIinger to get the liquor out
of your system. / am going to
turn you lose, not because Of
the letter, but because I think
you have learned a lesson. But
you might tell Theresa not to
write me any more letters. She
didn't fool me one Bit"

Not since Little Bill Carr STEP
ped away from Big Ben Eastman
on the California cinder paths in
the summer of 1882 has the west
coast experienced anything like the
athletic shock of Columbia's Rose
Bowl victory over Stanford.
Unlike Carr, Columbia cannot re-
peat the performance to remove
any lingering doubts, but no analy-
sis of what transpired in the mud
of Pasadena seems to make this
necessary. On any basis, it is fig
ured, the Lions were entitled to
win. They scored when they had a
chance and their defense held fast
when it was backed up against
its own goal line. They were better
coached and played smarter foot
ball, man for man, than any out
fit the east has ever sent west.
You may have heard that Stan
ford would have won on dry
field. BY the same token, Columbia
might have run up a bigger mar
gin of victory. The first downs
have been pointed to as testimony
of Stanford's superior ground gain
ing ability. But that happens to
be one of the hallmarks of the

REFUND

The effects of the Columbia tri-
umph have not been confined
alone to the eastern feeling that
considerable prestige has been re-
gained after a long period of
meeting with indigffIIies at the
hands of these big, rough western
fellows on the college gridiron. The
refund for what Stanford did to
Army in 1928-29 is none the less
gratifying to the Old Guard. AS
to what st. Mary's and Oregon
State lid to Fordham, why even
bring that up?
Lou Little's stature as coaching
genius, already looming quite large
in the eastern picture, takes on a
positive radiance as the veterans
analyze his role in the transcon-
tinental accomplishment. Lou can
have anything he wants when he
gets back to Morningside Heights,
perhaps including restoration of
the salary cut he took before the
start of last season. Under any
he may be quite hap
by to remain at Columbia, but
