DAVEY TAX APPEAL |
DISMISSAL ASKED
Government Acts on Re-
quest of Kent, Ohio, Tree
Expert Company.
Nv III. Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
By request Of the Davey Tree Expert
Co. OF Kent, Ohio, the Government
today moved dismissal OF the COM
panys appeal TO the Federal Board
of Tax Appeals from an income tax
deficiency assessment.
The. request was wired from Kent to
the board, which had subpoenaed Mrs.
Martin l.. Davey. wife OF the Ohio
Governor, to testify. Mrs. Davey, how
ever, did not appear.
Hearing on the appeal was contin-
ued until December II at the request
of attorneys for the company.
Irving Tuller. Internal Revenue Bu-
reau attorney. said the subpoena for
Mrs. Davey still stood. but would not
be enforced If the dismissal motion
prevailed.
The case concerned an asserted de-
ficiency of S4283.36 for 1880 and
1881. Part Of this concerned disal-
lowance of $4.4l6 BY the revenue COM
missioner OF the 1876 salary claimed
by Mrs. Davey.
Gov. Davey is financially interested
in the firm.
Attempts to clear up the situation
were being made, with action pos
sible during the afternoon. II the
appeal of the assessment were dropped
the assessment would still stand and
have to be paid.

Our most eminent authorities have
reason to believe that some one con-
nected with Leith- Ross encouraged the
Chinese to hope that loan would be
forthcoming. although nothing may
have been done directly about it.
The reason they suspect it is be-
cause the subject irds mentioned
TO the American Ambassador. Nell
son Johnson BY some one who
looked rery much like Letth Ross
himself
Note-This may explain why no
comment has developed here about the
Far East. although officials consider
the situation as important as Ethiopia.
The loan background is that the
Treasury has been thinking about it
for years, but doubts whether it could
be done without congressional au-
thority No commitments were made.
The Toxic Touch.
Finesse used by the japanese in
reoccupying Shanghai is the admira-
ton of all who appreciate the artistic
deception required in diplomacy. The
japanese remembered what Mussolini
forgot in Ethiopia-a good excuse.
First. the Japanese were outraged
because the Chinese had failed to ad-
wise them in advance that momentary
move was under consideration This
shock was sufficient pretense for land
ing sailors. But shock cannot last
forever. so japanese sailor was found
murdered in Shanghai
There are diplomatic insiders here
phlegmatic enough to suggest that the
japanese sailor was murdered by a
japanese bullet. In fact. that obvious
suggestion has reached diplomatic
quarters here in the form of a report.
The report may be erroneous, but
the inference behind it is not.
Peg at 29 Cents.
You may expect the Chinese dollar
to be pegged to the American dollar
at 20 cents. 1t has been 80 cents, but
the Chinese want to make 1t 29. The
Chinese government has been holding
back on an announcement because Of
japanese reaction. The Chinese made
it 30 cents in establishing the man
aged currency because they did not
care to arouse internal disturbances at
that time. Once it hit a high of 3l.9.

WAREHOUSE ACT

Controversy Involves Interpreta.

BY he Associated Press.
A Supreme Court decision which
may fix the legal limits for several
New Deal activities is expected some
time in December.
The controversy involves the FED

over it yesterday we're marked by
questions from the high bench. en-

The case first arose when two Mis-
sissippi men we're accused Of stealing
three bales of cotton from a ware
house licensed by the Federal Govern
ment. Quashing the indictments. a
Mississippi Federal judge held the act
invalid.
Though the act was passed long be-
fore the New Deal. James NJ BecH,
former solicitor general and now a
leader in the American Liberty LeagHe,
pictured it as part Of the same fiction

BLACK TOPRESS

Announces Plan as

% Declaring private industry must
shorten working hours or continue
TO bear the unemployment burden
fhrough dole financing taxes, Senator
BLACK, Democrat, of Alabama, author
of a 30-hour bill, said yesterday he
would press for its enactment at the
next session of Congress.
Blacks statement was made in an
interview with the Associated Press
and came concurrently with radio
address by Secretary of Agriculture
WSflace. in which he declared an
sindustrial reduction program" which
"plowed millions of workers into the
streets" was responsible for the bill
lions of relief expenditures.
The bill which Black believes will
take care of unemployment by sub
stituting private work for public works
or a dole would require a 30-hour
work week in business which:
Engage in interstate or foreign COM
merce.
Receive Government contracts or
loans.
Supply materials for firms with
Government contracts.
Wage Level Maintenance.
A further provision would require
maintenance of present wage levels
until reasonable time elapses for
employers and employees to adjust
them"
;, Although Jail sentences and fines
are provided for violators, Black said
he believes the bill would be Self-en-
forcing because employees would see
that employers obey, and employers
obeying would see that their COM
petitors did likewise
The Senator denied that 30-hour
week would curtail production and
asserted that at present wages il

- her place. as we'll as Mussolini.
The Chinese silver naturalization
move is generally known to have fol-
lowed conferences between the Chinese
government leaders and Sir Frederick
Leith- Ross. chief economic adviser to
the British government. He went to
Shanghai because London developed
a sudden worry about China, strangely
coincidental with it's equally sudden
apprehensians about the Mediter-
ranean.-
What Chinese naturalization of
Siluer means for Britain is:
stronger centralized government in
China. a Shanghai financial Strdn-
ole hold on all China. financial
defense against japanese aggreS-
sion.
That explains why Toxic was
shocked when it read about it in their
newspapers. To ease the shock,
Britain sent it's Toxic envoy hurrylng
to the Japanese foreign office next
day TO assure every one there was
no truth in the reports that China had
taken the move on Leith- Ross promise
to lend $50,000O00 for stabilization.

The two stratosphere flyers and i'm

ment we're on their way to Washing
ton today.
Capt. A W. Stevens and Capt Or
vii A. Anderson. who piloted Ex-
plorer II to new shakespeare heights
few days ago over South Dakota,
arrived in Chicago this morning.
officials OF the National Geographic
Society, sponsors of the flight. were
expecting them 10 proceed here by
plane or train.
Among the scientific equipment ex-
pected to reveal important findings
was pore-collecting device by
which scientists hope to find out
something Of bacteria that inhaoit the
stratosphere and whether they can
survive in less rate atmosphere.
Battery Cases Recovered.
The National Geographic Society
also announced that four battery
cases, dropped as ballast. had been
recovered. 1t was not necessary TO
throw out more important scientific
instruments during the descent, the
society said. because of the perfect
behavior of the giant balloon.
The spore apparatus is a hollow
tube OF light metal, It's inner wall
lined with a sticky substance. When
released at the peak altitude reached
by Stevens and Anderson, the tube
plunged through the stratosphere COL
lecting the tiny spores. An auto
matte device sealed the tube as il
reached the Lowell level OF strato-
sphere. 1t was recovered near Cham
berlain. S. Oak.
Other Apparatus Packed.
Other scientific apparatus carried
on the flight was being packed and
sent TO scientists who had had it In
stalled. Records OF most of the in
struments were made automatically
on photogra phic films. many of which
are being brought to Washington by
Capt. Stevens.
The meteorograph, by which the
official altitude will be judged. is on its
way here in the possession of DR.. w
