of the project said it was impossible
to carry on under this figure.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Tax Bill "All Right
Considering" Is View
of Legislators.
by PAUL MAIToN

BY PAUL MALLoN
~ NE of the Democratic Con-
4 gressmen who helped to write
" the sd tax bill INV was s. backed of in
really thought about it. He scratched
his nose and replied:
you may quote me as saving: IT'S
all right, considering the scope within
which the committee had to work,
But Just between you and me. I think
it is another one Of Mr.. Morrenthau's
doughnuts"
The reference was apparently d.
rected sarcastically at the new Treas
ury plan to issue half-cent pieces with
holes in them. Also the allusion
seemed to contain just a hint that
such a vast social taxing program
should be baked longer, that 1t should
be served we'll done.
This private opinion was not con-
fined to a single Congressman. In
fact, three Democratic members of the
House Ways and Means Committee
amazed newsmen by offering the first
half of the same opinion; namely that
their own bill was all right, consid-
ering."

IS RUSSIANS DIE
IN SUB SINKING
Young Cadets Among Vic.
tins of B-3 Crash in
Finland Bay.
BY the Associated Press.

Ry bDO AooOClabCu EICoS
MOSCOW, August Thursday -
A brief official announcement, laconic
as are most such Soviet revelations.
early today disclosed the death of S.
Russian seamen, some Of them young
cadets, in the sinking of the subma-
rine B-3 in Finland Bay one week ago.
The submarine, participating in the
current Baltic feet maneuvers, came
up from an underwater cruise and
collided with an unidentified surface
vessel.
All Aboard Perish.
A gaping hole was torn in her hulk
and she sank Immediately. All
aboard her-officers, seamen and
naval school students-perished.
The submarine was of the old
bars" type built in 1917. toward the
end of Russia's participation in the
World War.
Measures have been taken to raise
the hulk, The Tass (off1ciaD news
agency reported. A mass funeral will
take place at Kronstadt.
The government will distribute sums
Of 10000 rubles to families of the VIC
Tins. Pensions also will be paid, it
was announced.
Worst Disaster In Years.
It was the worst disaster to the
Russian fleet in years. The COM
munique which gave the first news Of
the tragedy merely stated all occu-
pants had persisted, without revealing
whether any had managed to stave
off death for time by closing them
selves in the air-tight compartments.
1t was indicated the bodies either
had been recovered or were expected
to be recovered.

Conferees Also Decide to
Accept Restoring of Ex.
port Debenture.
BY the Associated Press.

Working rapidly toward agreement,
House and Senate confereeS on the
A. A. A. amendment bill tentatively
agreed today to accept Senate pro-
visions permitting suits for recovery
Of processing taxes and for restoration
Of the export debenture program.
The agreements on these two pro-
visions, together with yesterdays
agreement to strike out all price
fixing provisions, eliminated much of
the disputed matter.
1t was explained that none of the
conferees' actions could be finally &C
cepted until the return of Chairman
Smith, Democrat, of South Carolina,
of the Senate Agriculture Committee,
one of the conferees.
Agreement by the House conferees
to accept the Senate provision per-
hitting suits for recovery by professors
who could prove they had not passed
the tax on to producers or consumers
was a setback to the administration.
A fiat prohibition against recovery of
any processing taxes paid in the CROP
control program was sought by the
administration and written into the
House bill
Wheat Acreage Cut.
Meanwhile, Chester Davis, A. A. A.
chief, assured wheat farmers their
adjustment contracts would not be
voided by any possible retroactive
erect of an adverse Supreme Court
decision, as he announced a Is per
cent reduction in wheat acreage next
year for those who signed adjustment
contracts. Davis said:
Even If an adverse decision by
the Supreme Court should materialize
at some future time. the contract in
its present form is admirably devised
to protect both the farmers and the
Government.
The Government would have both
a moral and legal obligation to COM
pensate farmers fully for performance
up to the date of such decision. The
Government, in fairness and honesty,
would pay, and legally would be
bound to pay in full for their COM
pliance up to that time, but not be-
yond that time"
FOur-year Pacts Wait.
While the A. A. A. made public de-
tails of the new four-year wheat ad-
justment contracts for 1869, in
elusive, it was indicated the contracts
will not be offered to farmers until
after final passage of the A. A. A.
amendments.
Likewise, it was reported that the
Farm Administration will not deter
mine the amount Of benefit payments
for the rye program-launched this
year-until the amendments are
passed.
In the 1884 wheat contracts, farm
ers we're required to reduce acre
age Is per cent and this year 10
per cent. Announcement of the re-
duction this year was held up for sew
eral days while officials studied pros
poets for black rust damage in the
Spring wheat area.

PROBE is STARTED
IN BLIMP ATTACK
Bullet Hole Is Discovered in
Port Horizontal Fin
of Ship.
By the Associated Press.


LAKEHURST, N. j., August l.
Navy officials began an investigation
today to learn the source of mysteri-
GUS volleys of rifle fire aimed at the
Navy Blimp zMC-2.
Lieut.. Comdr. Charles E. Rosendahl,
chief of the Lakehurst Naval Air Base,
disclosed yesterday that unseen
snipers fired on the ship Tuesday as
it cruised low over the ocean at Point
Pleasant in search of a drowning VIC
TINS body.
Rosendahl stated it was the third
such attack since the ship was built
In 1928.
The blimp, with Lieut. Ben May in
command and two other officers and
two enlisted men aboard, was only a
few hundred yards of shore when
May heard the ping" of bullets
against its metal shell. May said
there were too many small boats in
the water below to determine the
origin Of the shots.
Rosendahl ordered the blinp held
in its hangar today while officers ex-
amined bullet hole in the port hori-
zontal fin and made a minute inspec-
ton of the ship for other signs of
damage. If bullets are found they
will be kept for ballistics tests. Rosen-
dahl stated, in the event that sus-
pect is captured.
: The bullets, RoSendahl said, could
only have been fired by an expert
narksman equipped with a high
power, long-range rifle.
The first known attack on the blimp
was made during its first flight across
the country after it was completed
seven years ago. Inspectors found
two bullet holes in 1t.
Two more bullets drilled the blimp
three years ago during q test fight
over New Jersey.

Such lack of enthusiasm on the part
of authors for their own works is ex-
tremely unusual. especially among
Congressmen. Not only that, but all
politicians are always supposed to say
they are against the rich and for the
poor, whether they are or not.
When they fail to do so, you may
know that either the heat has nn-
settled them or they haze become
conscience-Stricken In this case
they appear to be conscience
stricken, considering.
One reason is the Ways and Means
Committee did not write the bill. A
ghost job on 1t was performed by L.
H Parker. chief Of staff on the Joint
Committee on Taxation. Mr.. Parker is
probably the best non-partisan tax au-
thority in the country. II permitted
to sit down and write tax bill alone,
he would unquestionably write the
best possible bill. Unfortunately, that
is not the way 1t is done. Mr.. Parker
writes tax bills to order He does this
for Republican administrations as well
as for New Deals.
Written to Order.
The committee handed him an or
der this time to write a bill which
would look something like the Presi-
dents plan to tax bigness, but at the
same time fail to carry out the dras-
tic features Of that plan. This gen.
erality may be denied, but 1t is es-
sentially correct, because the commit
tee threw out the presidential plan for
graduated income tax on corpora
tions, also the recommendation that
receipts be applied to the public debt,
and a few other things.
The result ,ods that Mr.. Pdrker's
job necessarily combined tace-sap-
ing With revenue raising. That is
tDhdt committeeman are speaking
OF Dhen they say it uas all right,
considering"
Incidentally, certain Republican
humorists are lying in wait for the
Treasury to issue its new doughnuts.
They see a publicity possibility such
as has not existed since President
Roosevelt coined the term New Deal"
and used it against them. They in
tend (hope) to make the simple
doughnut the symbol of the Treasury.
Excited Over Borah Report.
The highest New Dealers got more
excited than you know about the
published story that Postmaster Gen.
eral Farley was going to bear down
against Senator Borah in Idaho.
AS soon as the story appeared the
White House called Mr.. Farley on the
long-distance telephone. It also called
Emil Hurja, Charles Nicholson and
others to find out particularly whether
they knew anything about a reported
meeting of Democratic big-shots at
which it was decided to get Borah.
All replied they had never heard of
such a meeting. They suspected that
Borah's friend, Senator Wheeler, in
spired the story to help Borah.
That all may be, but you can
mark it doton in your hat that Mr..
Borah is in TOR trouble.
A wealthy supporter of the New
Deal came out of conference with
the President the other day, a elum
look on his face. He has stood with
the New Deal through thick and thin,
mostly thin for him. Signing. he
asked the first person who approached
him: Where do you suppose F. D.
got the idea of that wealth tax bill?"
