Japan Satisfied
With Settlement
OF Cartoon RoU

TOXIC, Aug. 7. UP)-Japan con-
siders closed the incident which
was caused by the caricature of
Emperor Hirohito in the magazine
Vanity Fair, newspapers announced
today.
American officials and others,
it was said, showed friendlineSs
when Japan complained that the
cartoon was insulting, and their at
titude gave hope that Americans
would obtain a better understand
ing of japanese SenSibilities.
1t was said at the foreign office
that Ambassador Hirosi Saito at
Washington was expected to confer
with Frank Crowinshield, editor of
Vanity Fair, and explain to him
how japanese felt at the portrayal
of the emperor drawing a coolie
cart on which was a scroll repre-
senting the Nobel peace prize.
Little attention, it was added was
being given to the threats of the
artist, William Gropper, that he
would draw more cartoons of the
sort.

JEWS SUFFER
NEW CRUELTY
BY GERMANS
Harsh Restrictions Announced
By Two Towns, With Others
Taking Less Severe Steps

BERLIN, Aug. Z. U.R - Boycotts
so severe as to approach outlawing
were imposed on Jews in two Ger
man towns today.
The drive, increasingly more
drastic and now on an official ba-
sis was marked also a dramatic
suicide.
Karl Frenkel, Jewish livestock
dealer put into protective custody
at Essen on the new charge of race
pollution-associating with "Aryan"
girls, plunged to his death from
the third floor window of a court
building.
The drive against the Steel Hell
met organization of war veterans
attained national basis when the
organizations official publication,
Der Stahlhelm, was banned indef-
initely throughout the country.
BY order Of the town council of
Gladbeck, .Westphalia, Jews were
barred from municipal baths and
sports grounds and forbidden to
buy real estate. Jewish children
were forbidden to go to the same
schools with "Aryan" children
Jewish merchants were forbidden
to attend the weekly fairs.
The town council of Guhrau, ir
Silesia, resolved:
mo Jew is allowed to buy g
house or real estate in Guhrau. Nc
artisan or businessman will be al.
lotted public work who maintain;
social relations with Jews or sup.
ports their business. Buying from
Jews is treason to the German
people"
At Bad Toelze, in Bavaria, it was
announced that henceforth no cards
for cures would be permitted tc
"non-Aryans" at the popular cure
resort.
The anti-Catholic drive brought
a two-month prison sentence yester-
day to a member of the Catholic
union named Phillips, charged
with removing antiCatholic posters
from walls at Coblenz. He pleaded
vainly that he removed them tc
clean the walls.

Rogers expected to go only as far
as Alaska, visiting the Matanuska
Valley colony and other points of
interest while Post hunted and
fished. Later Post will cross the
Bering Sea to Siberia. where the
flyer expects to hunt tigers.
They expected to make the 1000
mile hop to Juneau without stop
ping.
The wife of the flyer, who had
been expected to accompany him.
instead kissed him goodbye as he
climbed into the ship and remained
on the ground
Although the plane had capacity
for $50 gallons of gasoline. Post
took on only $50, so that the load
would not be too heavy at the start.
Airport attendants believed he
might land at Ketchikan 10 refuel,
if supplies ran short.
The flyer may continue TO Mos

GRADUATED CORPORATION INCOME
TAX URGED AT SENATE HEARING
Finance Committee Informed IS Per Cent Of Cor.
porate Wealth In Nation Owned By Five Per Cent
Of Corporations

as the administration bill would
impose greater levies on private
fortunes.
The graduated corporation tax
would replace the present flat rate
of 1874 per cent. Jackson said il
would mean smaller taxes for 95
per cent of all corporations, with
the increase falling on the five pei
cent of large ones.
"The five per cent owning the
85 per cent of the corporate wealth
and the five per cent whose taxes
would be increased are not neces-
sarily IDENTICAL" he added, "but
most of the corporations in one
class will also be found in the
other"
Assets Concentrated
Jackson said federal reports re-
vealed Startling" concentration
of assets, with 618 companies own
ing over SO per cent of the value
of all assets of all corporations.
At the other end of the scale,
666 per cent of the corporations
owned only 2.9 per cent of the ag-
gregate assets.
THE ability to pay is, in our
view, based in large part upon ad-
vantages which larger corporations
have over smaller Ones" Jackson
continued.
while it is probably debatable
yxl r.iu nft
ed the requirements of efficient
operations, and whether in fact it
has not sometimes been accom-
plished at the expense of efficiency
there can be little doubt that the
greater stability, on the whole, of
large corporations is attributable
to their many advantages over their
smaller competitors; and these ad-
vantageS are reasons why size pro-
vides a useful measure of ability
to contribute to the cost of gov
ernment.
"The graduated corporation in
come tax, based upon size of in
come, is designed to recognize di-
rectly the advantages of size as a
measure of ability to pay. An ex-
cess profits tax would not be af-
fected at all by the size of the con-
Germ; a peanut vendor being made
subject to it at the same rates as
those that would apply to giant
corporation"
1--WE do not ish to discourage the
growth of small concerns. 1t is the
existence of healthy and profitable
small concerns that gives our econ
omy and elasticity and flexibility
in production and prices that are
so valuable.

VALLEY GIVEN
HIGH RANK ON
BUSINESS MAP

At least one statistical research
institution believes that business is
very good" in Imperial Valley, ac-
cording to the chamber of COM
merce. This organization is the
La Sale Extension university which
each month makes a careful COM
pilation of business throughout the
country. The three grades of the
La Sale business map show very
good, good and fair, and Imperial
Valley and the narrow fringe of
the California coast is indicated on
the La Sale maps as having very
good business conditions.
Most persons will concede that
the La Sale map is correct. While
returns this year from Imperial
Valleys produce, such as lettuce
and melons, were less than hoped
for, nevertheless a considerable
amount of money reached Imperial
Valley in the way of wages and
payrollS, which is the valleys way
of caShing in on the vegetable in
dustry. 1t must be remembered
too, that according to the La Sale
theory, very good business must be
based on present conditions and not
in comparison with business two or
five or 10 years ago.
Most persons likewise are certain
that business conditions here will
be very good through the fall and
winter. Work is proceeding on
several sectors of the All-American
canal and new contracts will un-
doubtedly be let within few weeks.
Plans are progressing for the plant
ing of Imperial Valleys fall and
winter crops and all available acre
age will undoubtedly be Sown this
fall. Hog prices are higher with an
II cent market. Grain, including
flax, is relatively high, and alfalfa
hay is somewhat higher than last
year with an apparent scarcity and
very good prospect of consider
ably higher prices before January l.
I'VE should find conditions i'm
proving materially in Imperial VAL
ley,' said Manager Hays of the Ell
Centre Chamber of Commerce, "be-
cause throughout the country there
is a decided up-trend."

YOUTHS FACE
PRISON TERMS

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Aug 7. U.P)
Two Provo, Utah, brothers eX-
cursion into crime ended today
when the survivor and compan-
ion pleaded guilty in superior court
to charges of attempted robbery
Carl White, IT, of Provo, and
Carl Cox 30, of Seymour, Ind,
pleaded guilty when taken before
Judge Frank Harrison, who will
sentence them Friday.
Carl's brother. Albert White, 10,
was shot to death by possemen
when he fled toward the Utah bor-
der after saving his way out of the
county Jail, where he was held on
charges he murdered William G..
Wilson, 81, operator of a service
station at Lees ferry during an
attempted holdup. Albert, county
authorities said confessed he shot
Wilson when the elderly man re-
sisted.
The trio were captured in Kai-
bab forest after they had been
fired upon by a posse and were
returned to the Jail from which
Albert wriggled his way through a
narrow opening he had cut in his
cell bars. Stealing an automobile,
he fled north, only to be shot
down by Buck Lowrey, Wilson'S en-
ployer.
1t was expected murder charges
filed against Carl White and Cox
would be dismissed, since Karl
Mangum. county attorney, said,
they apparently had nothing to do
with Wilson's Staying.

NEW CLUES IN
Los ANGELES
DEATH CASE
Body OF Woman Drowned In
Fish Pond Reveals Mysterious
Lumps Or Bruises

LOS ANGELES, Aug. Z. UP)-
Distinct Jumps or bruises, asserted
ly found on the head of Mrs. Mary
James, 27-year-o bride of three
months today added new mystery
to her strange death in a fish pond
Deputy sheriffs reported finding
the injuries on the body.
Mrs. James was found in the
garden of her La Crescenta home
lying face down, with her head
submerged in a fish pond. Her hus-
band, Robert S. James, beauty par
lor operator, made the discovery.
Police said Mary was the second
wife James had lost by drowning.
Mrs. Daisy Yarnell James was found
dead in their home at Manitou,
Colo, october ID, 1882, her nude
body sprawled over the edge of a
bathtub. they said.
Deputy Sheriff A. l.. Hutcheson
said the Jumps were on the top of
the head, which appeared to indi-
cate that they were probably not
received in a fall, since in such
case they would normally have ap-
peared on the side of the head
The deputy said he had question
ed James only briefly and that he
said Mrs. James carried $4,000 in
life insurance.
Capt. Norris Stensland, chief in
veStigator for the Sheriff's office
today awaited results of an autopsy
which are expected to show wheth-
er Mrs. James died from any other
cause than drowning. Ssensland
said he would question James.
Was Third Wife
Mrs. Mary James, said to have
been an eXpectant mother, was
James third wife.
He was divorced from his first
wife, the former Vera May Vermil-
lion OF Kansas City, who is believ-
ed to be living in California, al
though James said he had not seen
her in several years.
His third wife, prior to her death
suffered a series of minor miSfor-
tunes, including poisoning which
apparently resulted from the sting
of an insect.
In an unfinished letter found in
the home addressed to Mrs. r. H.
Stewart of Las Vegas, New, said to
be Mrs. James sister, she wrote
that she h d been h havin g
lots of bad luck. My leg is swol-
len. Something bit me this morn
ing, and I cut my toe yesterday" "
she complained.
James expressed the opinion that
his wife suffered a fainting spell
while standing beside the fish
pond.

Demand For Higher
Tariff On Grains

SACRAMENTO, Aug, 7. U.P) -
Immediate increase in federal tar
ifs on imported grains as an aid to
stabilizing barley prices was de-
manded today in resolutions adopt
ed at meeting of northern Call
fornia grain growers here.
George Sehlmeyer, master of the
state Grange, told the growers the
barley farmers were facing ruin
because of the importation of cheap
grains and the fact California this
year will have one of the largest
surplus of 100000 tons for which
there would be no market.
Other speakers scored apathy of
the government in providing for
barley growers under the AAA and
urged they be given benefit pay
ments similar to those allotted
wheat and cotton producers.

RELIEF FUNDS
ASSURED FOR
Los ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 7. W.H -
Los Angeles county was assured
today of ample funds for August
charity disbursements, setting at
rest reports that the LACRA was

lief director, notified Ralph L. Dali
ton, county WPA director, that he

ry L. Hopkins, national director.
Money was expected to be i'm
mediately available today to cover

ing approximately 100000 which

the money in the federal reserve
bank, with assurances that it would
be done before noon.
R. w. Pilling, LACRA director,
said no relief client need fear de-
lay of more than two days at most,

MED, although disbursing officers
