TWO LEAVE BILLS
PASSAGE ASSURED
House Chiefs Will Permit
Vote on U. S. Workers
Measures Tomorrow.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Assurance that the two bills re-
storing 80 days annual leave and Is
DAYS sick leave to Government work
ers would be passed by the House to-
morrow was given last night by
Speaker Byrns. Acting Majority Lead
er Taylor. Chairman RamSpeck of
the Civil Service Committee. Minority
Leader Smell and Representative Bo-
land OF Pennsylvania, the Democratic
whip.
Speaker Byrns said he would recog-
nize Ramspeck. sponsor of the two
bills, under unanimous consent soon
after the vote on the tax measure
tomorrow and expects the bill VIII
be passed promptly.
Ramspeck said should any member
object to its consideration under unan-
imous consent. 1t could be put through
later in the day under suspension of
the rules.
No Opposition Expected.
Smell said there is no opposition
on the Republican side and there is
no known opposition on the Demo-
cratic side
Representative Young, Democrat, of
Ohio, who objected to consideration of
the measure last week. will not make
any objection and will support the
measures, he says, but wants some time
to explain his position This is that
his objection was only to consideration
at such late hour (5:2O o'clock) when
the membership was tired and the
Government workers had gone home
for the day
Young said he would insist on the
two leave bills being passed as COM
panion measures. He desires to safe
guard against the 80 days annual
leave bill going through and the en-
ployes retaining 80 days sick leave
also. Otherwise he is in favor of the
legislation.
Representative Blanton, Democrat.
of Texas, who was responsible for the
parliamentary tie-up which prevented
the vote on the bills last Tuesday, said
he is heartily in favor of the meas
ures.
Supported by Administration.
The bills have administration sup
port and are urged by the Civil Service
Commission, both organizations of
Government employees and department
heads and bureau chiefs. They cover
all those in the classified service,
whether permanent or temporary en-
ployes. on the basis of two and one
half days per month annual leave and
one and onefourth days per month
sick leave.
Cumulative Up to 120 Days.
The annual leave NAV not be taken
until it has been earned and accumu-
lated, while in emergency cases of
serious illness it may be granted in
advance by the administrative officers.
Teachers and librarians in the pub
lie schools of the District are excluded
from the provisions of both bills. Dis
trict police and firemen are excluded
from the provisions of the sick leave
bill, because they have their own spe-
cial provisions for sickness or injury.
Members Of the Senate Civil Serv-
ice Committee have been marking
time awaiting House action on the
leave bills.

Oil Trouble Forces Aviators
to Turn Back After Fly

By the Associated Press.


MOSCOW, August 3.-Oil trouble
over the icy Barents Sea thwarted to-
night the ambitious attempt of three
Russians to fly nonstop from Moscow
to San Francisco, across the North
Pole.
Disappointed, the flyers turned
about when over the Southern part of
the sea and headed for Leningrad.
They landed at 1890 pm. $3.50 pm,
E. S. To.
A defective Gil line spoiled their
dream of setting new worlds nom
stop record in a 6.000-mile hop to the
Golden Gate from Moscow.
A radio message, after eight hours
of silence, said line from the distrib-
uting tank began throwing Of ex-
cessive quantities of oil and the crew
was unable to discover the cause.
Speed Above Estimates.
They had made the first part Of their
flight-an 875-mile stretch from Mos
cow to the Barents Sea-at an average
speed of 108 miles an hour, consider
ably better than had been expected.
Taking of from Moscow at 6:03
o'clock this morning Q1:03 pm. Fri
day, E. S. t., the plane had reported
its progress regularly until 2:25 o'clock
this afternoon, when it embarked upon
the flight over the sea. tn emost haz-
ardouS part Of the journey.
Before turning back the flyers asked
permission of Soviet officials here,
which was Immediately granted.
A commission was appointed to 90
to Leningrad and inspect the plane.
Plotting the plane, the Soviet-built
"UR. S. S. 25," was Sigmund Levan-
effsky, Russian aerial hero. He was
accompanied in the one-motored craft
by Copilot George Baidukoff and
Navigator Victor Lychencko.
Moscow Disappointed.
The failure of the flight caused Bit
ter disappointment here, but the gen.
eral reaction was belief Levaneffsky
was wise in turning back rather than
risk a crash in the polar regions.
A spokesman at the American En-
bassy issued statement saying the
American Embassy learned with deep
regret of the failure of Levaneffsky's
trip, and hopes that this will not lead
to abandonment Of the project Of a
flight to San Francisco"
A 1,600-mile stretch remained be-
tween the flyers and the North Pole

have had to cover 1850 miles from
the pole to reach Prince Patrick Is

CHARITY GIFTS
ARE EXEMPTED
ROOsevelt's Plan
Altered-Passage
Due Tomorrow.
BY JOHN C. HENRY.


Safely past whatever threat to Its
enactment existed in the House, the
belated tax legislation requested by
President Roosevelt on June 19 now
awaits only the formality of two roll
call votes before 1t is sent to the Sen
ate. With only a single committee
approved change, reading of the bill
for amendments was completed yes
terday and final disposition postponed
until tomorrow.
The first vote, scheduled early in
tomorrow's session, will be on mo-
ton made yesterday by Representative
Treadway. Republican, of MaSsachu-
sets, ranking minority member Of the
Ways and Means Committee, to re-
commit the bill to the committee. With
defeat of this motion virtually GER
tainty, it is expected that vote on
passage of the measure will follow
Immediately. An overwhelming ma
jority in support of the bill is ex-
pected by House leaders.
In the measures present form, by
which it is estimated approximately
$270.00O.000 in additional revenue
would be raised in year, it is diff
cult to determine whether the PreSi-
dent once again has demonstrated
domination over the House or whether
that body has administered distinct
rebuff in its departures from the tax
program which he outlined.
G. O. P. Charges Dictation.
The Republican views on this ques
tion, expressed often during debate
on the bill, are that the President
pulled the strings" and majority
members in the House obeyed; that
departures from his recommendations
were made because of the ''impracti-
csbility" of some of his suggestions,
and that the entire program is po-
litical gesture.
The Democrats answer hotly that
the legislation is desirable and equi-
table and that their committee major
ity acted independently of the White
House and along lines dictated only
by their own financial reasoning.
In substance, the legislation has
five major taxing provisions, as fol-
lows:
Cd Individual income tax The bill
would increase surtax rates on all net
income above $4,000. At this point,
the present rate would be raised from
80 to 81 per cent, while the maximum
rate, on incomes over $4,000, 900 per
year, would be IS per cent instead of
SO per cent, as at present. The addi-
tional revenue estimated at stake in
this raise is $45, 900. 900.
In connection with this section. the
House is making its first departure
from the recommendations of the
President, his suggestion being that
the new increases begin with the ST.
100000 bracket.
Corporation I: Changed.
(2) C,rporation in ome tax. In
this section, the House is attempting
to introduce an innovation into
American corporation taxation in the
form of a tax graduated according
to the size of the net income. AL
though following this theory at the
behest the Preside the House
leaders modified his )osal greatly.
Their proposed rates would range
from 1914 per cent on corporation
incomes up to $4,000 to maximum
of l4A per C on such incomes over

are required for operation in COM
parison with 1000 watt requirement
previously No costly changes are
