SOVIET PLANE HOP
DETAILS GUARDED
Failure to Take OFF Last
Night as Announced
.Deepens Mystery.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, July 22.-The when and
where of a flight by Soviet "mys-
terry" plane over the roof Of the
world-from Moscow across the North
Pole to San Francisco-became mys-
teries in their own right today.
A military air field commander an
nounced last night that the ship
would take off on the spectacular
6,250-mile nonstop fight at am.
today midnight, Sunday, Eastern
standard time), but today all efforts
to obtain information concerning the
projected departure proved fruitless.
Not only the plans for the take-off,
but even the whereabouts of the plane
we're kept strictly secret, government
officials asserting merely that the de-
tails Of the departure would be an
nounced at the proper time
BulIitt Will Attend.
Ambassador William c. Bullitt, who
has been given to understand that he
will be notified in advance of the
take-od SO that he may be present,
said today he has received no notice
OF an early flight.
The United States Ambassador had
planned to leave Sunday for a Vaca-
ton on the Black Sea, but he post
poned his trip for several days.
The only clue TO the disappearing
ship came from a Waterman at the
Shelokova military field, 25 miles from
the city. who said he saw it take to
the air Sunday morning. The plane
has been making practice flights at
different fields.
Excitement already had been aroused
by report OF plane crash near the
city Saturday involving a ship said by
the Tass (official RuSsian) News Agen-
cy TO be one constructed especially for
long distance flights.
Rumors arose that the crash. in
which a mechanic named Titof was
killed and pilot. Popoff. and an engi-
neer, Yegoroff, saved by parachutes,
might have involved the plane being
made ready for the polar fight.
The formal announcement Of the
scheduled take-off Of the mystery"
ship, however. dispeled fears that it
had encountered an accident. No ex-
PLANTATION was given Of the ship in
volved in the crash.
Plane Pronounced Perfect.
One Of the Sovlet's most famous
flyers. Sigmund Leva' effsky, in COM
mand of the crew for the trip to
North America. mas Pronounced the
polar plane Ia perfect condition, "
and said he expec ed TO complete the
flight in from 30 u II hours.
The aviators had permission from
the United States Government to fly
over Alaska and firm the Canadian
government to ty over Canadian ter
ritory.
In connection With the project.
Soviet preparations fl establishment
OF a weather observatory at the North
Pole became known.
Although virtually all details of
the plane were hello il, strict secrecy.
1t was learned that the ship is an
Ant rs. designed bg A. N. Tupalov,
builder Of the jI.-fd- ed Maxim Gorky,
who returned recently from the United
States.
About 2,700 miles of the projected
route lay over Arctic and adjacent
waters.

JAPAN IS ASSA|LED
BY ITALIAN PRESS
Papers Unleash Attack on
Toxic in Controversy
Over Ethiopia.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, July 22.-The Italian press,
apparently by general order, printed
violent attacks against Japan today,
using phraseology not unlike that en-
ployed against England a few weeks
ago and against Germany last year.
The basis for the attack was an
alleged 'dissimilarity between state
ments made to the Italian foreign
Office by Ambassador Sugimura of
Japan concerning Ethiopia and by a
Japanese foreign Office spokesman.
The Japanese Embassy cabled long
extracts from these press comments
to Toxic, and well-informed sources
said they were convinced that the
bitter tone of the editorials was GER
tain to elicit diplomatic protest
from the Japanese.
One Race in Betrayal Color"
II Tevere said: "One has the SEN
Sation Of finally learning why so
many races have been created with
only one in the image and likeness
OF the Creator and why, among other
variously colored ones, one is of the
color of betrayal.
The japanese believe the scam
dalous European inertia will permit
them to enlarge their circle Of ex-
pansion so as to touch Africa. But
Africa is contiguous to Italy. the coun-
try of a white race and the champion
Of that race.
THE Japanese will come to old
Europe for many milleniums and still
sell their false pearls before succeed
ing in putting foot on the highway
to Italy"
Japan's Activities Cited.
II Piccolo epitomized its views in the
following rhetorical question:
will the Japan, which for years
| def1ed the entire opinion of the world
with its occupations in the Far East !:
the Japan. which in these months is
invading the most ancient provinces
of China; the Japan, which conducts
her policy of cynical and brutal rob-
berry, counting on the tolerance of
America and the sense of responsible
ity Of the Soviet policy. is this the
same Japan who has something to
say in regard to the Italian policy in
East Africa?
Unless there is an underground
understanding. owing to the turbulent
and barbaric instinct OF the two races
Of color. between the yellows of the
Far East and the blacks of East Africa,
the positions of Italy will not become
less clear and less secure owing TO the
Japanese attitude"

5..SEEN IN TAX PLAN
Industrial Conference Board
Analyses Philosophy Be-
hind New Program.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. July 22.-The Ma
,tional Industrial Conference Board in
survey yesterday declared the Roose-
welt administrators new taxation
proposals we're not essentially fiscal
measures, but rather a desire to penal
ize bigness.
The board. a research organization
supported by large corporations, stated:
Regardless of the approach that is
made in attempting to justify the
proposed tax program as fiscal meas
We, it is practically impossible to
reach the conclusion that it is essen
TALLY fiscal measure.
THE administration desires a pro-
gram Of taxation, the effect of which
is primarily to tax or penalize size or
bigness, wherever and in whatever
form it may be found"
Sees Bigness Opposed.
It was pointed out by the board that
the final form of the new tax program
has not been determined, and the
survey continued:
THE philosophy in. and underlying
the tax program, as now projected, in
wolves not only the proposition that
taxation should be used as a social
End economic corrective, or as a de-
vice in the furtherance of non-fiScal
detectives, but also the proposition
that bigness or size is socially unde-
Sirah nd RI ho
oemned."
On proposed inheritance and estate
taxes, the board stated: The estate
tax would remain the important fiscal
instrument, while the inheritance tax
would effectively supplement the es-
tate tax in the efforts of the Govern
ment to bring about wider distribu-
ton of wealth."
The board calculated corporate
earnings and. in relation to proposed
taxes, concluded las the average cor
poration with assets under $4,000
earned 1T per cent on net worth
in 1881, as compared with So per
cent for those with assets of $50
100000 and over, and So per cent
for all corporations reporting net in
come, the use of progressive rates ir
that year could have rested solely OF
the theory that large-scale enterprise
Is undesirable and should, therefore,
be subjected to discriminatory rates
Opposite Effect Seen.
The survey declared the proposed
changes tn graduated rates would ia
Yor large stockholders in small cor
porations at the expense of small
stockholders in large corporations.
In this respect the change could
scarcely be referred to as social tax
alton" the board stated, for its eff
feet would be the opposite of what is
intended"
Some justification was found for
proposed additions to income tax
rates, and the board asserted "On
strictly theoretical grounds, the pro-
posal to establish additional brackets
for that portion of personal income
above 100000 is entirely defensible.
1t was added that because of the
alternative of investing in tax-exempt
securities, increasing the surtax rates
is not an effective method of reducing
large incomes.
The board continued: Considering
the situation as a whole, there is lit
tie reason to believe that the problem
presented by the tax-exempt issues
will be solved at any time in the near
future"
