BITTER BATTLE Is ON

WASHINGTON, Aug. II.
Democratic leaders assert
ed this afternoon that the
House never would accept the
Senate Finance Committees
proposed increased taxes on
small incomes down to $500.
House leaders made their predic-
ton as the Senate committee pre-
pared formally TO approve it $780,
100000 measure and toss it into the
Senate arena for what is certain
to be a pitched battle.
Senate liberal and conservative
as we'll as party lines were shat
tered by the committees transform
alton of the tax-on-Wealth bill into
a taX-on-everybody measure, reduc-
ing the exemptions on married per-
sons from $4,000 to $1,000 and on
single persons from $1,000 to $500.
Democratic members of the House
Ways and Means Committee were
virtually unanimous in predicting
that the House would not accept
the new rates even if they are app
proved by the Senate.
There has been a good deal said
about our bill not conforming to
the Presidents program, but the
Senate bill does not even strike the
same trend" said Chairman Robert
L. Doughton Cd, N. c..
The Senate bill is terrible" said
Rep. Chester Thompson Cd, Iill),
and Rep. Claude A. Fuller Cd,
Ark), chimed in to assert he would
stay here until next session to
fight the Senate proposals" Rep.
Richard M. Duncan Cd, Mo-, said
1T was never intended for the lit
tie fellow to be taxed"
Rep. Isaac Bacharach, N. j.,
leading Republican on the ways and
means committee, said the Senate
bill Twas designed for compromise
purposes only"
One line OF strategy being dis
cusSed would be for Administration
leaders to whip the bill through the
Senate as fast as possible and let
the real fight come in conference
with the House.
In that case, House conferees
might yield to the Senate on soma
points, but would stand fast against
taxes on small incomes until the
Senate gave in or the entire meas
ure was abandonded.
A prominent Senator who declined
to permit use of his name said SEN
ate adoption of the committee rates
probably would kill the bill.
Democratic Leader Joseph T.
Robinson conceded that the COM
mittee action complicated the sit
uation and might delay adjourn
ment.
Among many Senators there was
revived interest in the proposal of
Senator Thomas P. Gore 3D., Okla.)
to have a thorough study of tax
proposals made during the fall in
for congressional action
next session.

ship of Jack Handle.

Both Sheriff Otto Ray and
Coroner William Arbuckle today
began new attacks on the mystery
surrounding the murder of a g.
months-old child whose body was
found in flooded gravel pit on
High School-rd last week.
The sheriff has definitely estab-
lished the type of car from which
the jack was taken and he or
dered his men today to begin a
painstaking search of Marion
County records for names of all per-
sons who have bought those cars.
Coroner Arbuckle said he and his
men will investigate stories of per-
sons volunteered by them in an effort
to clear up the mystery. He said
that he has had several calls, and
pointed out that a 9-months-old
child should be missed by friends,
relatives or neighbors of its parents.

In The hands of the youngsters
rests America future in aviation.
Fellows my age, or even young as
Is, aren't in it with these kids.
They live and breathe aviation,
and they know it. Why do you
suppose there were so many
adults at that show yesterday?
There's only one answer. The
kids brought them out.
These kids Suild planes that fly
themselves. They are confronted
with the same engineering prob
lens that master technicians have
when they build transport planes.
! had a whole corps of engineers
working on the plane 1 fly Just to
establish how far off center to

pensate for the propeller.
II IDS who build model air
IN planes have the same prob
lens, and yet they build planes
that fly themselves. My plane
wouldn't fly itself more than a
very few seconds.
How do you suppose these kids
will travel when they get old
enough to escape the donts of
parents? They won't take trains
and they won't take buses.
They'll take airplanes.

them asked me to come to his

night.
And, by golly, I might have

an engagement I couldn't break.
Yes, sir, they're the people who
will show you how and what to
fly in the very near future.

MAN OF IRON,
HOLSTERS FIND
Did They Enjoy It?' His
Only Query Following
Great Exhibition.

Maj. Al Williams, featured per-
former at The Indianapolis Times
Air Show yesterday at Municipal
Airport. is SO years old and is made
of iron.
Two years ago some one dared
him to put on a uniform and pitch
an inning of big league baseball. He
did it and found ne had a good fast
ball, good control and pretty good
curve"
You see, he keeps in condition.
He didn't even get 4 sore arm, al
though 1t had been nearly 10 years
since he pitched for John McGraw's
Giants.
He keeps in condition for flying,
he said yesterday as he watched
them fill his beautiful plane with
gasoline. He was getting ready to
take off for one of those thrilling
demonstrations of precision flying
that won the admiration of more
than 10000 persons gathered to
watch him.
He Has to Be in Trim
When you do this sort of flying"
he said, you have to have that edge
that a golfer going into a tourna-
ment need. And you have to be in
condition to have it."
Mai. williams didn't stray very far
from his plane with its 70O-horse
power motor that eats gasoline at
the rate of a gallon a minute while
he's stunting.
An idea would strike him and
he's open this or that compartment
and take out brief case, or a
gadget. The compartments, some
of them, are fastened with COM
bination locks. He casually men
toned that he keeps stuff all over
the plane" and you look at it and
see a sleek machine that would give
a fastidious shudder at harboring
stuff"
He flew as though it we're by
sleight-of finland. Gracefully and
with not a single lost motion. Vet
eran aviators in the office show
family. stood entranced.
Look how easy that looks" they
would say. land if you only know
how hard it is"
But it was the same. poker-faced
Mai. Williams who climbed out of
his plane when it landed again.
His only care was, Did they en-
JOY it?"
/ Have to Be at Work
And when people assured him
that they had cheered and whistled
when his motor was still running
and he couldn't hear, he seemed
pleased.
He was annoyed that it took him
so long to fly here from Pittsburgh.
He ran into a storm and was de-
layed for 20 minutes beyond the
schedule he had set for himself.
His flying clothes are pair of
dark pants, a blue shirt, collar
rolled under. and pair of pigskin
gloves. together with his helmet, of
course.
He left in his plane early today
to fly to Pittsburgh, where he is fly
ing chief of the Gulf Oil Co.
L have to be at work, you see"
he said.
