An enlisted reserve force Of more
than 100000 partially trained young
men recruited from c. C. c. camps

BY Gen. Douglas Macarthur. Army
chief of staff.
MacArthur's bill, being drawn at the
suggestion of the House Military Com
mittee, would provide for voluntary
enlistment Of c. c. c. camp graduates
for two months of intensive military
training. After the two months they
would revert to inactive status
There is now no available reserve OF

young men of the Civilian Conserva-

After serving two months the en-
rollees would be paid $24 per year, Suf-
f1cient to maintain their interest in
keeping the War Department informed
of their whereabouts. and periodically
presenting themselves for physical ex-
animation
The 100000 men would be enlisted
gradually as they left the c. c. c.
camps. The estimated cost of the
force, Macarthur reported, Is

MAYFLOWER DEAL
Revised Reorganization Plan
and Special Master
Urged in Case.

Charging that bondholders never
have been fully informed by Disinter-
ested parties of the alternative avail
able for disposition Of the Mayfower
Hotel and attacking the reorganization
plan as recently approved by Justice F.
Dickinson Let's, Senate subcommlt-
tee today completed an l8-page report
on its second inquiry into financing
activities connected with the local
hotel.
Two specific recommendations are
made to the court: F1rst that the re-
organization plan be revised to a con-
siderable degree in order to eliminate
from it the same interests that were
instrumental in the original financing,
and second, that special master then
be appointed to ascertain the prefer
ence Of all bondholders as to DISPOSE
ton of the property.
The report was signed by Senator
Reynolds, Democrat, of North Caro-
lima. chairman of the committee; Sena-
tor Carey, Republican of Wyoming, and
Senator McCarran. Democrat, of Ne
vada. 1t will be submitted to the
full District Committee late today for
approval and further action. A copy
also will be submitted to Justice Let's.
At the same time, Senator Reynolds
made known that local real estate
firm has written him that an out-of-
town client stands ready to purchase
the Mayfiower at q figure in excess
Of S4.000,O0O. Senator Reynolds said
this proposal will be referred to JUS
tice Let's along with the committee
report. An offer of $4,000 900 already
has been received from the Manger
Hotel interests.
The committee recommendations
follow:
This committee does not recon-
mend in this report to the court that
the S4oOo.OOO proposition shall be
accepted but does earnestly recon-
mend that the vices Of the reorgani-
zation proposition be eliminated; that
the voting trustees, If used in any
plan approved by the court and sub
mitted to the bondholders, shall be
disinterested persons, selected by the
court. and that the directors OF the
corporation controlling the property
likewise shall be disinterested persons
and selected by the court without
suggestion or sponsorship from the
bondholders' committees, and particu-
larly from any representative Of the
Halsey, Stuart & Co. and American
Bond & Mortgage Co. group of bond
holders or their attorneys, that the
bank supervisorship of the hotel
management be entirely dis
pensed with at a large net saving
the corporation, and that all deposit
agreements for bonds now held by
either of the deposit groups shall be
disregarded and deemed to be can
celled and void, and all said bonds
ordered and decreed to be deposited in
the registry of the court in order to
vest the court with the power to ap-
point a special master to hold and
conserve the same for final distribu-
ton or dividends or any securities
severally belonging to the owners
thereof.
This committee further recon-
mends. as it has heretofore done, in
order to arrive at a clear, full and
untrammeled expression Of the wishes
of the bondholders as to the dispose
ton of their property in bankruptcy,
that q special master be appointed by
the court"

Your Income Tax
Exemption Allowed Head Of a Family.

Exemption Allowed Head Of q Family.
A head OF a family Is defined by
income-tax regulations as "an indi-
vidual who actually supports and
maintains in one household one or
more persons who are closely con-
nected with him by blood relationship.
relationship by marriage, or by adop-
ton. and whose right to exercise
family control and provide for these
dependent individuals is based upon
some moral or legal obligation" The
exemption allowed head Of family
is $2,500 The phrase lin one house
hold" may be interpreted as meaning
the taxpayers personal residence. an
apartment, rooms in boarding house,
hotel, etc.
Under certain circumstances it Is
not necessary that the taxpayer and
his dependents live under one roof
during the entire taxable year In
order that the taxpayer may claim
the exemption. If. the common home
being maintained. the parent is away
on business. or a child away at school
or on a visit. the exemption is allowed
Moreover. if a parent is obliged to
maintain his dependent cnlloren with
relatives or in a boarding house. while
he lives elsewhere, the exemption still
applies. If. however. without neceS-
sity, the dependent makes his home
elsewhere, the benefactor is not the
head of a family.
The same ruling applies to husband
and wife living together If occa-
sionally AMI temporarily the husband
is away on business or the wife on a
visit, the common home being main
tanned, the $2.S00 exemption still ap-
plies. The unavoidable absence Of
husband or wife at sanatorium does
not preclude the exemption. But if
the husband continuously makes his
home at one place and the wife at
another. they are not living together

The high-pressure lobbying groups
have found new trick. It was used
successfully in inducing Senators to

1t is founded on an old legis-
ldtiDe custom. State Legislatures
pery often adopt resolutions ask.
ing Congress to pass or defeat cer-
tain national legislation. 1t is
simple matter for lobbying organi-
cations to get such resolutions
adopted by the Legislatures. They
are rotoriouSly dmendble to lob.
5ying pressure.
When such resolutions arrive here
they are more or less terrorizing to
Congressman, for they indicate that
their whole State is beseeching them.
At least two votes against the Court
were made this way. Bonus petitions
now are coming in nearly every day.
One day recently two were received
by the Senate from Washington State
and Missouri (this does not mean these
two were lobbied through these par
ticular Legislatures).
The scheme is particularly good

intention is to force President
Roosevelt to drop him in selt-de-

standpoint is that fighting against him
does not call for a break with the
