Tax Commissioners
 Convene Tomorrow
Taxation of Manufacturing and Mercantile Business
 to Be Discussed at Hartford Hearing

manufacturing and mercantile es- establishments for the privilege of exploiting the business opportuni- ties of the state. They are intended to be Q co-ordinated system of franchise or business taxes under which the burden is equitably dis tributed among these business con- cerns whether incorporated or un- incorporated. The commission finds however, that these taxes fall short of attaining this fundamental aim.
 Corporations pay according to their net income while unincorpo- rated businesses pay according to their gross earnings. However, the rate of the corporation tax is either twenty or eighty times the rates of the unincorporated business taxes. Because of these differences in bases and rates, the competitive re- lation set up by these taxes be- tween incorporated and unincorpo- rated business varies to the advan- tage of one or the other according to business conditions from year to year. In depression times, when tax burdens are heaviest, the ad- vantage accrues to the corpora tions. In prosperous times, it is the unincorporated business which are benefited because of the low gross earnings tax rate.
 There is also 8 need for re-ap- praising the corporation net in come tax itself. From the begin. ming, this tax has been based upon the corporation net income tax o1 I the federal government. This pro. cedure has both advantages and disadvantages.
 It simplifies the filing of returns i by taxpayers and relieves them oi ing their records audited by both federal and state auditors. Core. spondingly. it reduces the admin istrative expense of the state.
 The disadvantages, however, arc no less striking. This procedure carries over into the state law all
 the defects of the federal statute which the state Is powerless tc correct.

COUPLE SEEKING | CONTINENT SECRET
Ellsworth and Balchen on First Stage of Icy Ex=
 plOratiOn Trip

Dunedin, New Zealand - (UP) The last great adventure of South Polar exploration has
 started.
 Two intrepid U. s. explorers,
 Lincoln Ellsworth and Bernt Bal chen, are on the first stage of their attempt to discover the
 secret of the Antarctic continent. They are on the little motor ship, Wyatt Earp, near the edge of the great ice barrier on the
 Ross Sea. From there, during the Antarctic summer, they hope to fly over the vast, unknown ice wastes to the Weddell Sea, a dis tance of nearly 1,500 miles.
 They will attempt to discover whether Antarctica, with the South
 Pole lying at his heart, is one con- tinent; two continents, with the great fluctuations formed by the Ross Sea and the Weddel Sea showing where the division oc- CUTS; or an archipelago, bound by the antarctic ice into one mass g. million square miles larger than Europe.
 Balchen, who has flown the At lantic, and taken Admiral Byrd by plane to the South Pole, will pilot the flight. He will also act as radio operator, while Ellsworth will be busy as navigator, photographer and record keeper.
 Flying at 10000 feet, the airmen
 should be able to see for 100 miles on either side. Two hand cameras for oblique and vertical pictures
 will be carried, and also a new type of camera, operated by l2- volt motor driven from the engine generator. which will take one picture every six seconds through out the entire journey.
 The plane is equipped with two
 radio sets, one run by motor ana
 the other worked by hand = in
 case tho airmen are forced down.
 It will be in constant touch with
 the base during the flight. Another
 preeaution, which was taken while
 tho expedition was at Dunedin,
 was to paint tho plane orange. :,
 Fitted with both wheels ana
 skis. tho plane has Q flying range Of 1000 miles and n speed or siS miles an hour. It's special con.
 ntFuction allows it to land nt as
 low as 42 miles an hour.

 The nresiding genius behind the whole unusual scheme is Chairman Henry Latham Doherty, head of the Cities Service utility giant director or 1I4 com nanes owner of the Miami Biltmore hotel.

Trio Is Alleged to Have
Flooded City With
Bogus Coins.

A crippled man who is alleged to
have spent his spare time inventing
ingenious methods to "age" coun-
terfeit coins and his uncle were ar
rested yesterday, Stemming a flow
of bogus half dollars which have
flooded Indianapolis, police said.
The arrested were Edgar Van
Cleave, SO, and Walter De Long, %,
both of BIT Highland avenue. The
ability of R. w. Griffith, 719 Massa-
chuSettS avenue, to remember faces
resulted in raid by police and

home yesterday whom he says passed
bogus half-dollar in a shop in
which Mr.. Griffith had been making
purchase some time ago. Mr..
Griffith followed the man to the

coins were described as being of
fine workmanship by Charles Ma
zey, secret service agent.
Kenneth Van Cleave, 20, also of
the Highland avenue address, sur
rended at police headquarters to-

CARDINAL LAUDS JEWS
PreIate Hits Nazi Policies in Rebuke
at Boston.
BIZ UDited Press


BOSTON, June IA tribute to
the Jewish race, interpreted as a
rebuke to the Semitic policies
of Nazi Germany, was uttered by
William Cardinal O'Connell in an
address before 10000 persons at
ceremonies at Fenway park, con-
Guiding the observance of his fifty
years in the priesthood.
1.-THE Savior of mankind, who
Himself was a Jew, was born of a
Jewish maiden" said the cardinal.
Let us remember that it was the
Jewish race who preserved the Ten
Commandments when every
where the peoples of the earth wor-
shipped false gods, worshipped
heather idols, wcrsnipped Jove and
Venus and Apollo, the Jewish race
kept alive the truth, there is but
one God"
