MOCK WAR TAKES
FIRST CASUALTY.
U. S. Air Reserve Officer
Dies in Crash-Trooro
Guard Bridges.
BY the Associated Press.

PINE CAMP, N. Y. August 21.-
The first casualty Of the United States
Army's mock warfare served as a grim
reminder of actual war conditions to-
day as National Guard divisions from
Northeastern States moved into the
field to defend the bridgeheads Of the
Indian and Black Rivers, key trans
portatiop links of the Great North
country.
The casualty occurred last night as
Lieut.. Robert Scherer, Is. Of Olney,
ILL.,, Army Reserve pilot attached to
the 9th Observation Squadron,
plunged to his death mile-and-a-
half west of Five Corners. His me-
chanic, Pvt. George White of Detroit,
Mich, "bailed out" of the crippled
plane and landed safely.
Scherer was flying a two-seater
Curtiss observation plane, returning
from a night bombardment mission,
when his motor sputtered and failed
above the 44th Division area near
Calcium.
White said later that as he rose in
the rear cockpit to Jump he saw
Scherer standing in the front cockpit
also ready to leap. White jumped and
then saw the young officer turn his
plane south into the wind, apparently
in an effort to make a forced landing
Maj. Gen. John ]. Toffey, COM
manding the 44th Division, ordered
out a search party for the missing
plane and pilot They finally brought
word that the plane had crashed on a
farm northwest Of Black River. 1t
was found that the straps Of Scherer's
parachute had caught on the under
carriage Of the plane. He apparently
had tried to jump clear after White
last saw him.
Despite the tragedy, todays activi-
ties were moved on schedule. The
units were the Blue" and the Red"
Armies, starting the development Of
tactical problems that will culminate
in movements Of entire corps over the
week end.

BOAT MISSING 2 DAYS

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, August 81
R.-Coast Guard stations were on
the lookout today for the 58-foot
ketch Mischief, two days overdue at
Charleston, but divisional headquar-
ters here said Coast Guard craft had
not yet started a search for the vessel.
At Miami. j. F. Bauder. city suoerin-
tendent of docks and yachts. said the
delay probably was due to. headwinds
encountered by the Mischief along
the way.
He said Capt. Anderson, command
ing the little vessel, probably could do
no more than 100 miles a day. The
boat left there for Charleston last
Wednesday.
Records showed the Mischief Is
owned by Clarence Moore of New
York, but he Is not aboard her, Bau-
der said.

criticized the haste shown in its
preparation, its inadequacy as a reve-
nue. measure and, particularly. its
provision imposing graduated tax
on corporation incomes.
Minority Statement Singing.
The minority statement Of Senator
Metcalf and Representatives Tread
way and Bachrach follows:
I'VE have not signed the conference
report on the tax bill because we do
not wish in any way to be a party to
the final enactment of this legislative
absurdity.
1T Is not revenue bill, as everybody
knows it was never intended to be.
The only reason it is before Congress
is because the President asked for It,
and the only reason 1t will be passed
is because the President wants 1t
passed.
"No one can justify the bill. 1t is
significant that neither the House
Ways and Means Committee nor the
Senate Finance Committee even at
tempted to do so in their respective
reports on the bill.
"It has not been possible for the
conferees to work out q good bill from
either the House or Senate provisions.
Their whole effort has been confined to
salvaging as many Of the Presidents
original suggestions as possible, ire
spective Of merit, and at the same
time they have kept in mind the fact
that they must provide at least $780,
100000 Of revenue In order to keep
the bill from being made any more re-
diculous as a tax measure.
Raises Money for II Days.
1.-THE revenue to be raised would pay
the current running expenses Of the
Government for approximately IL days.
and it is but one-fifteenth Of the
amount Of the deficit for the last fiscal
year. Hence it is an absolute joke as q
revenue measure.
"If it Is necessary to come $780,
000, 900 closer to balancing the budget
the amount could very readily be real
lied, without the necessity Of imposing
further burdensome taxation, by the

Committee KILLS
SIROvICH MEASURE
Bill for Omnibus Civil Service
Reform System Is Dis
carded.

The House Civil Service Committee
yesterday killed the Sirovich bill, pro-
vicblg an omnibus civil service reform
system. by voting net to consider It.
Extensive hearings had been held by
subcommittee headed by Repre-
sentative Sirovich Of New York, bpon-
sor Of the measure.
In order that Government employees
might know the policy Of the House
Civil Service Committee In advance
Of their coming annual conventions,
the committee directed Chairman
Ramspeck to issue a statement in
forming the employe groups that as
policy the committee felt the omnibus
method Of dealing with Federal en-
ploye legislation was not the best.
The committee would prefer the
employe groups to express their opin-
ions separately on the different subject
matter contained IN the omnibus
reform bill.

had been Of value, and remarked:
1T seems to me you utility men
are easy marks for this high-priced
law racket"
Entire Cost 100000.
With the legal fees included. Winans
explained, the entire cost Of his COM
pany's campaign against the bill
would amount to 100000.
Winans was next asked II his COM
pany had any representatives in Wash
ington he had not previously men
toned. He then mentioned Wade
Ellis, Washington lawyer, who he
said. had been on the Cities Service
staff for 10 years. and the advertising
firm Of Thomas Shipp. Neither of
these, he said, had been used in con-
nection with the company's fight
against the bill. Shipp is paid $500 a
month. he declared.
Winans was excused about 1915
pm and told to return at 8 with the
information wanted by the committee.
Hopson was then recalled to the stand
and questioned by Senator Schwellen-
bach, Democrat, of Washington.
Schwellenbach wanted to know If
he signed a check for the Interna-
tional Public Utility Investing Co. for
$4,227, 900 in September, 1929.
IT may have, but I don't remem-
ber." Hopson replied.
you mean to say that If you signed
a check for that amount you would
forget about it?" said Schwellenbach.
Il have signed good many checks
as big as that" he replied.
Examined Five Times.
Schwellenbach continued to press
Hopson for details Of the sale which
involved the 1922, 900 check. Eopson
suggested that the committee get the
report of the Federal Trade Commits
sion, which. he explained, had gone
thoroughly into that detail.
In fact, Hopson said, his company's
books in New York had been gone
over by the Internal Revenue Bureau,
the Mack Investigating Committee
and other investigating agencies, and
his income tax returns were undergo
ing their fifth examination.
80 we know all about investiga-
tions," he remarked.
Chairman Black announced at the
close Of the hearing that an effort
would be made to summon Robinson
to appear before the committee when
it resumes its hearing tomorrow at
10 am.
The committee was told by Hopson's
legal staff that Robinson was stopping
at the Shoreham Hotel. Hopson, how
ever. said he did not know Robinson's
whereabouts.
