TAX 0N. INCOME
= UNLIKELY FOR
MARYLAND

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. %.
That State tax needs would not
necesSitate a State income tax be-
came more probable today when 1t
was learned that Democratic lead
ers of the house and senate ex-
pected that Maryland would be
called upon for not more than six
million dollars and possibly
nothing, to rieet Federal relief
fund requirements.
Senator J. Allan Coad CD Of
st. Marys. majority floor leader,
after his conference with Federal
relief officials in Washington Mon
day, intimated that it would be
impossible to supply the additional
funds required without recourse
to a State income tax.
Mr.. Coad, without naming the
definite figure which Maryland
would be required to appropriate
to match Federal funds, men
toned a license and tax on book
makers which, he said, would
yield approximately a half mil
lion dollars and also a tax on
beer brewers to yield $1,000,000.
Sales Tax Unlikely
The Senator intimated that a
general sales tax would not be
necessary. If a considerab bic sum
were needed, the Senator indi-
Gated that he would approve an
income tax.
Both Senator Coad and Kent
r. Mullikin CD, of Prince
Georges county. majority floor
leader in the House, indicated
they would back a plan to split
relief fund burdens three ways.
Under their plan the State would
bear Is per cent, local commuui.
ties rs per cent and the Federal
Government so per cent.
State Comptroller William s.
Gordy said he was working on
figures which would give the esti.
mated tax yield of the bookmak.
er's tax, the beer tax and other
forms of taxation and these fig.
ures will be ready for legislators
in few days.
In the house and senate two
bills were introduced last night
designed to relieve unemployment
In Maryland.
Tax On PayrOIls
The first of these was intro.
duced by Frank ]. Hirt CD of
Baltimore city, an unemployment
insurance measure calling for q
30-hour week and a 2 per cent
payroll tax on all establishments
employing more than five persons.
A year would be required to build
up an unemployment fund reserve.
A State bureau of labor and
statistics would administer the
fund, which would pay discharged
persons so per cent of their
average wage, with a maximum
of $18 per week for Is years.
The other bill, introduced by
Senator Robert S. Kimball (R)
of Allegany county, would estab.
lish a 3O-hour week in Maryland
and give residents Of the State
preference on public works prof.
ectS.
Senator Harry T. Phoebus (R.)
OF Somerset county, introduced a
bill to require all school teach
erS in the State to be residents
Of Maryland.

HEARING
RIG Lawyer Again Denies
"Death Sentence" Threat
To Halt Passamaquoddy
international News Service


Thomas G.. Corcoran, youthful
RFC attorney, today branded
Representative Brewster (R0 Of
Maine with lacking courage"
and bad faith" on power legis-
1ation.
Resuming testimony in the
House Rules Committees utility
lobbying inquiry, Mr.. Corcoran
again denied he had threatened
to withdraw funds from the
Passamaquoddy project unless Mr..
Brewster voted for the utility
holding ompany death SEN
tence."
Accompanied by PecOra
Mr.. Corcoran again was accom-
panied by New York Supreme
Court Justice Ferdinand Pecora.
"Worked Hard" for Bills
Corcoran explained that he had
worked hard for both the Admin
istration utility bill and for the
36-million-dollar "Quoddy" project.
He said:
Brewster was on my neck
constantly for the tidal project"
Representative Cox D) Of
Georgia, interposed:
"After he got the 36-milliOn-
dollar project through, he got
off your neck?"
eyes"
He reiterated his previous tes-
timony that Brewster indicated he
would support the death clause"
up to few hours before the
House voted on the provision.
Representative Cox asked:
"You were outraged and felt
contempt when Brewster's atti-
tude toward the death sentence
cOOled?"
Corcoran replied:
II was a little hot"
Position Reversed
He inferred that after Brewster
had received favorable publicity in
Maine by pushing through the
"Quoddy" project, the former gov
ernor decided not to support PreSi-
dent Roosevelt on the holding COM
pany issue.
Representative Cox asked:
"He found divided sentiment
on this issue and no longer had
any courage in the power situa-
tiOn?"
Eyes"
SAW ONLY THREE MEMBERS
Corcoran denied he had done
extensive lobbying for the death
sentence" provision. He said:
During the time the House
Interstate Commerce Commit
tee considered the utility bill
only conferred with three mem"
bers."
These he named as Chairman
Rayburn CD, of Texas, and Rep
resentatives Mapes (RO Of Michi-
gan and Pettengill CD of In
diana.
He admitted, however, that he
"sat in" at several meetings at
tended by House progressive mem
bers. He added:
81 never met Speaker Byrns
or any of the other House
leaders"
ROW OVER POLITICS
The committee then became
embroiled in a political row con-
corning. the constitutionality Of
the holding company bill.
Corcoran said that Attorney
General Cummings had headed a
special advisory committee to
study the bill before the measure
was. sent to Congress. He added:
"You should call the AttOr-
ney General to bear me out in
this"
Meanwhile, Chairman O'Con-
nor CD Of New York contem-
plated extending the investigation
to permit all members OF Con-
gress to air their grievances
against utilities lobbyists.
He will ask Representative
Rankin CD of Mississippi to
amplify statements that con-
greSSional telephones had been
tapped. Mr.. Rankin also &C.

continuing her attempt to pre-.
vent an African war, Capt.
Anthony Eden, minister for

she will not default on her obi

a situation which would arise If

JAPANESE MOVE
To CURB DUCE
IN AFRICA
.Mikado Strives to Avert War;
Gen. Ugaki, Military Chief,
Opposes Neutral View

TOKYO, July 10 Q.N.S0.
Emperor Hirohito today turned
his attention from Japan's mill
tary and trade progress in China
to possible Italian interference
with Japanese interests in Ethio-
pia.
The Mikado, according to the
Tokyo correspondent of Reuters
news agency, sis taking consider
able interest in the present dis
pute between Italy and Ethiopia
and is making unofficial efforts
to avert hoStilities.
Opposes Neutrality
That the Emperor's "interest"
in the twoyear-old rivalry Of
Japan and Italy in the African
empire may extend far beyond
peace efforts was indicated in the
news that he is receiving in audi
ence Gen. Kazushige Ngaki, a
member of the supreme Japanese
war council, and an opponent of
neutrality in the Ethiopian fight.
General Ugaki was quoted in a
recent Rengo News Agency broad
cast as saying that Japan should
not be content with detached in.
terest in the Italo-Ethiopian dis
pute."
Japan is "gravely concerned"
in the Ethiopian developments, a
spokesman for the foreign office
said today, although he expressed
doubt that the statement at
tributed to General Ugaki had
any official sanction.
No appeal for japanese inter
vention has yet been received
from Ethiopia, the foreign office
mouthpiece said.
He took sharp issue with Italy's
contention that Japan had 'per'
suaded" Ethiopia to buy Nippon
csc products. He said:
"Only low costs for our prod
ucts won US commercial faVOrS
in Ethiopia"

D. c. DIVORCE
LLAPPR0VED
By
T. E. Powers


CONTINUED from Page y
modify the District divorce law
was reported.
This measure which has been
delayed for several weeks because
Of its controversial features was
said by its sponsor, Representa-
tive Randolph Carpenter 3D., Of
Kansas, to have the unanimous
approval of the judiciary sub
committee which had it under
consideration.
In the face of the threat by
Representative Carpenter that if
the insanity provision was in
cluded it would kill the bill, Rep
resentative Short moved for its
inclusion. He said that he con-
sidered the subcommittee hear
ings had been "farcical" and that
persons in favor of the insanity
provision had not been given an
ample opportunity to be heard.
He insisted that it was not
justifiable to prevent a married
person whose husband or wife
had been incurably insane for
five years from securing a di-
vorce. His motion was rejected
by an overwhelming vote, how
ever, and Representative Short
indicated he would seek the
amendment when the bill is con-
Sidered on the floor Of the House.
Changes Present Law
The Carpenter bill, which has
the support of the District Bar
Association, would change the
present law which limits grounds
for absolute divorce to adultery,
desertion for two years, voluntary
separation from bed and board
for five years, conviction Of a
felony involving moral terpitude
and infidelity.
AS adopted by the Senate the
bill included insanity and habitual
drunkenness.
The charges of malfeasance in
office that were laid at the door
of the corporation counsel came
from Representative Virginia E.
Jenckes CD of Indiana, in con.
nection with his admission some
time ago that he had taken it on
his own responsibility not to un'
duly invoke the law against loan
sharks"
Mrs. Jenckes' outburst came
after Representative Merlin Hull
(R.) of Wisconsin moved to recon-
slider the vote taken on the small
loan bill now on the House calen'
dar.
This bill would increase the
rates on small loans up to $500
from the / per cent now allowed
to 2 per cent.
At hearings before the judiciary
subcommittee several weeks ago
Mr.. Prettyman announced that he
had taken the responsibility of not
enforcing the present law because
he did not believe the 1 per cent
now allowed was rSufficient TO
operation.
