Harvard class of 1909, will attend
the wedding of Ellen Tuck

DR.. Hanfstaengl received an
invitation in an informal note
from Francis o. French, father
Of the bride-to-be, and announced
today he would accept.
The aide Of Hitler was unaware

the romantic affairs Of young
AStor. He said he had not heard
Of the broken engagement be-

Gillespie.
The receipt of the invitation
to the French-Astor wedding by
DR.. Hanfstaengl clinched his
status as a social lion in New

President-EmpIoyes Pay
$30,000,0O0 Yearly
BY International News Service

A maximum of $4,000 employees
will be retired during the first
years operation Of the new rail-
road pension act, proponents Of
the measure said today.
The bill now is before the Presi.
dent, who was an advocate Of it's
passage.
On the basis Of present pay rolls
Of nearly 1900 millions annually
railroad companies and their EN-.
ployes will contribute nearly $780,
000,0 900 to the pension fund during
the first year. according to esti.
mates.
Pensions at IS
OF this sum, the employees will
pay $30,000,000, representing 2
per cent Of their wages, and the
companies $60,O00,O0O.
Employees will receive pensions
from and after the age of IS, or
upon completion Of 80 years Of
service at the rate Of 2 per cent
Of the basic wage multiplied by
the number Of years of service,
but this amount cannot exceed 60
per cent Of the average wage prior
to retirement for IS per cent Of
compensation after the retirement
date.
No compensation in excess Of
$400 per month is to be recognized
in determining the basic wage.
1t was also pointed out that
the average wage of $1,667 a year
will produce an average monthly
annuity of 1888.
A board of three members, to
be appointed by the President,
with Senate confirmation, will
administer the act.
A statement by the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee
said that some form of retire.
ment pension plan already is in
operation upon 80 per cent Of the
United States railroad mileage,
but added the following:
"Such plans, however, are not
by any means satisfactory
either to the railroads or to
railroad employees. In most part,
the pensions provided are in
adequate and the cost to the
railroads is mounting year by
year."

Won Papen Persuaded
By Hitler To Keep
Cabinet Post

BERLIN, June 20 G.N.S0-Vice
Chancellor Franz Won Papen today
withdrew his resignation at the
request Of Chancellor Adolf Hit
Ter, and peace again reigns in the
German cabinet after a bitter
quarrel provoked by Herr Won
Papen's frank criticism Of radical
elements within the Nazi party.
Herr Won Papen withdrew his
resignation after a long confer
ence today with Chancellor Hitler.
Speech Circulated
1t developed today that Won
Papen's sensational speech at
at Marburg Sunday in which he
attacked Nazi radicals and upheld
the right Of critics Of the Hitler
regime to point out its faults was
carefully planned.
Though DR.. Joseph Paul Goeb-
bels, minister Of propaganda and
regarded as the leader of the left"
wing of the Nazi party, subse-
quently had the Won Papen speech
suppressed by German news
papers. International News Sev-
vice learns that the text Of the
Won Papen speech has been
printed in pamphlet form and
widely circulated before it was de-
livered.
That bad blood existed between
the two wings of the Nazi party
has long been evident.

his estate at Neudeck, was kept
informed Of Won Papen's plans
to deliver the Marburg speech
and gave it his full approval.
It is still uncertain, however,
whether Won Papen's resignation
is conditional on Hitler'S muzzling
of certain juvenile and radical
sections of the Nazi party which
the vice chancellor has de-
nounced.
Called ReactiOnary
Leaders of these elements have
denounced Won Papen as a re-
dictionary and have also turned
their oratorical TRADES against
the Steel Helmets, war veterans
organization. This naturally has
incensed men who fought in the
World War and who regard their
critics as nothing but a lot of
beardless youths.
All sorts Of rumors are circu-
lating now that the rift between
the two opposing factions in the
Nazi party has been brought into
the open. One Is that Col. Ernst
Roehm, leader of the Nazi storm
troopers, who is now on vacation,
will be Shorn of his power. An
other is that DR.. Rudolf Nadolny,
the Reich's disarmament expert
and now ambassador to Moscow,
will shortly resign.
A third rumor is that DR.. Hans
Luther, ambassador to Washing
ton, Is contemplating reSigning.

It was learned that check for

Later it turned out that there

she was willing to sell it to help

Both Poderjay and Nine. Fer

TREASURY GETS
66 MILLIONS
BACK TAXES
About II Per Cent of Estimate
Results From National
Drive For Revenue
BY ROBERT S. THORNBURGH
| International News Service

Back tax collections, including
those from racketeers, gangsters
and other criminals, amounted to
$66, 900 900 through May 81 this
year, as compared with $62,000, 900
the first five months of 1888.
The Treasury said today these
taxes were about IT per cent of
what had been estimated for tax
collections for this period. At
present rates the Treasury will get
around $75,000,000 in back taxes
for the 1884 fiscal year in it's ma
tional drive to get all possible
revenue into the Government
Golfers.
There was some disappointment
at the results Of the tax drive,
although in view of the economic
situation and the plight of many
taxpayers, some officials do not
think the 23 percent drop from
the quotas was surprising.
No Accurate Estimate
There is no accurate estimate
Of the back taxes outstanding,
because they date back to the
first income tax law, although
some estimates place the figures
at more than a billion dollars.
Thousands Of these cases have
been compromised by the inter
nal revenue bureau, which be.
1ieved it was impossible to collect
many Of them and useless to
go into the courts. Compromises
have been made in all cases
where such course seemed rea-
Sonable.
On the other hand, no compro-
mise has been effected in cases
where serious criminal liability
was concerned
