Not to be outdone, I said no. I

but never a fainting goat. would

MISSING GIRL FOUND
WORKING AS BARKER
Learned More in Coney Island

Chicago Coed.

NEW YORK, August 3.-Ann B.
Sibley, pretty 21-year-old Chicago
coed, was found working as a barker
in q Coney Island sideshow today ex-
actly one month after she disappeared
from Antioch College, Yellow Springs,
Ohio.
"I learned more at Coney Island
in one month than did in n year at
college," detectives quoted the girl as
saying when she admitted her iden-
tity. Her father, Joseph B. Sibley,
is a Chicago attorney.
Information given by Evelyn Haus-
man of Brooklyn, an unsuccessful ap-
plicant for the lecturer" job on the
boardwalk museum" led to finding
the missing college girl.
Detective Caesar Bonano escorted
the girl to Brooklyn headquarters,
where she was met by classmate,
Ruth Rabinoff, and the latter's father,
George Rabinoff, who was notified
Miss Sibley had been found.
They arranged to take the girl to
their Long Island City home.
Police learned the young woman
had been living In o room above the
museum for several weeks.

A B. c. REPORT HITS.
DRUNKEN DRIVERS.
Fewer Arrests of Minors
Noted-Intoxication Tide
Held Ebbing.

While reporting q decline in ar
rests for intodcation, particularly
among minors, the Alcoholic Bever-
age Control Board lashed out yester-
day at drunken drivers as constitut-
ing "a hazard which we should not
tolerate"
In its annual report to the Commits
sioners, the board urged jail SEN
tences and revocation Of drivers per-
mits for all who fall within this
class of offenders.
The board presented figures to show
"the tide Of intoxication" in the Dis
trict is receding. It found that dur
ing every month Of the present year
there have been fewer arrests for
drunkenness than in the correspond
ing months OF last year.
1,757 June Arrests.
In June there were 1857 arrests
for intoxication as against 2,022 in
the same month last year. In May
the figure was ,2,0s7 as against 2,120
last year. In April. the figure was
1,94s as against 2,307 last year.
A. SahAAat4O2A VI OtllCI Odbd 6uU@
mitted by the board, however, showed
no recession either in arrests for driv-
ing while drunk or in the number of
accidents attributed to drunken driv-
ing, for the period since repeal as
compared with similar period prior
to repeal.
In the 16 months after repeal went
into actual operation here on March
!, 1884, police made 46s arrests for
drunken driving, the study shows. In
16 months prior to March, 1884, the
number Of arrests for the same cause
totaled SIT.
More Accidents After Repeal.
The report showed that In 16 months
after repeal began there were 334 acci-
dents attributed to drunken driving,
whereas the number in the Is months
prior to repeal was 239.
The board found its campaign
against sale Of drink to children was
bearing fruit. Reports revealed that
SOC minors between II and 2i were
arrested for intoxication in 1894, as
compared with 376 for 1888. That
large increase was taken as q "chal-
lenge" and the board established q
drive in cooperation with police.
In the first quarter Of this year
the number of such arrests was rs,
as compared with 81 In the first quar-
ter Of the preceding year. In the
second quarter, the number was 80,
as compared with 143 last year.
Evening star., 1935-08-04

Overlooking for the moment the
possibility that financing operations
coming 80 close to the total value
Of an estate might force the business
to the wall and require enforced
liquidstion, there are two uninviting
alternatives open to the owner Of the
estate. One is to surrender it to the
Government In lieu Of the tax pay
ments, the other virtually to surrender
it to big money interests in return for
loans to meet the tax obligation.
Wall Street Is Alternative.
The boomerang is the latter alterna-
tive. One Of the Government con-
sultants comments as follows:
wall Street Is the only money CEN
ter where cash could be raised to
meet the tax obligations Of some dig
estates as affected by this legislation"
he said. And application Of these
inheritance rates surely will drive
some of these non-hquid estates into
the hands of the Street financiers.
"The amount Of revenue to be
gained by such levies is hardly worth
driving more industrial concerns into
control Of this narrow circle.
I'm the other direction, If industries
are forced into public ownership
through enforcement Of oppressive
taxes there would be no appreciable
benefit to the public. After all, a
vast industrial empire such as Ford's
is constantly keeping its capital in
operation, giving men work and stand
ing as an integral force in the life Of
thousands Of persons. Under public
ownership and operation it could do
no more"

SENATOR WARNS
OF A. A. A. SUITS
George Sees Gripping Flood
of Iniunctions If Privi-
Ieges Denied.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A flood Of injunctions" was pre-
dicted yesterday by Senator George,
Democrat, Of Georgia as the likely
answer to any weakening congress
sional conferees on the Senate amend
ments to the agricultural adjustment
act permitting suits for recovery Of
processing taxes.
IF the conferees are wise" said
George, who was author Of the amend
ments they will retain the provisions
guaranteeing citizens access TO- the
courts, and will even stregthem them.
otherwise, they will invite q flood
Of injunction suits thai will cripple
the A. A. A."
Modification Question.
The Georgian's statement was
prompted by reports from one quarter
that the conferees were contemplating
modifying the suit privileges by per-
nitting professors to appeal only to
the commissioner of internal revenue
for rebates i'd event the processing
taxes are held invalid.
From other sources. however, came
renewed assertions t:iat the House
conferees had accepted the Senate
amendments with little change. This
was despite the statement Of Repre-
sentative Jones, Democrat, Of Texas
that the House members had not rs
yet accepted any change Of the House
language flatly outlawing suits for re-
covery.
There was agreement on one thing.
It was that no final action on any
issue before the Senate House confer
ees would be taken until the return
tomorrow of Chairman Smith Of the
Senate Agricultural Committee, one of
the conferees.
Pending final settlement are the
debenture plan, stricken out by the
Senate, the price-nxing provisions, also
stricken out by the Senate, the crop
control programs for tobacco, cotton
and potatoes, and other issues.
Cause Of Pending Suits.
In his comments on the tax suit
problem, Senator George asserted the
several hundred injunction suits now
pending were a direct outgrowth of
the attempt to obtain congressional
sanction for outlawing suits to recover
tax payments in event the law Is in
validated.
Any competent counsel to a proc
essing flrm, the former judge said,
would certainly advise an Injunction
suit TO prevent collection Of the tax
If he felt the Government was going
to prohibit recovering them If wrongly
collected.
IF the Government permits &C
cess Of these professors to the courts
to recover taxes" George said, the
A. A. A. can 60 on collecting them,
but If professors are denied that right,
then the equity courts will be asked
and will act, to protect them with
injunctions.
George branded as most alarming
tendency" the evidence Of impatience
shown by executive and administra-
tive agencies Of the Government with
the effort Of the citizens to assert
what he believes to be his rights under
the law Of the land"

Consideration of the measure in the
House yesterday moved TRANQUILITY for
the most part as administration forces
easily beat down all attempts to
amend the measure beyond their own
specific proposal.
From the Republican side, the prin-
cipal attacks were directed at the
graduated corporation income tax,
with Representative Treadway lead
ing this battle. Supporting an amend
ment to exempt this provision, Tread
way handed the Democratic majority
. tongue lashing for what he termed

then forced the only teller vote Of the
day on his proposal. It was defeated.

On the Democratic side Of the aisle,
more amendments were offered, most
Of them from the so-called liberal ele-
ment, which sought to broaden the
base of the tax program or to greatly
increase the rates In the higher brack-
ets.. All Of these attempts, as well
as one of Representative Kenney,
Democrat, Of New Jersey to have q
national lottery bill substituted for
the pending tax measure, were shouted
down without difhculty and many
times without argument by the COM
mittee majority.
