MAX AND LOUIS
MEET SEPT. II
By
T. E. Powers
Bv WILLIAM s. FARNSWORTH

By WILLIAM S. FARNSWORTH
NEW YORK, July IS Q.N.S0.
Max Schmeling. former heavy
weight champion Of the world,
will meet Joe Louis. a chunk of
black dynamite from Detroit, at
the Polo Grounds on September
II. The milk fund will get 10
per cent of the gross.
Mike Jacobs, president of the
Twentieth Century Sporting Club,
went down on the a. m. cutter
this morning to meet Joe Jacobs,
Something's manager. and sell
him on the idea of the match.
He didn't have to do any selling.
Manager Jacobs, enthusiastic
ally accepting the terms, said:
"This will bring million
dollar gate"
The writer was at the confer
ence aboard the liner, Washing
ton, representing Mrs. William
Randolph Hearst's noted charity.
To him, also this coming fight
looked like the return of the mil
lion, or at least, near-million-dollar
gate.
There was another bidder. Jim
my Johnson. promoter of Madi-
son Square Garden, also climbed
aboard to offer match with Max
Baer to Schmeling's manager.
Manager Jacobs turned this
down for two reasons. In the
first place, Louis is the up-and-
coming, by far and away the most
promising of the heavyweight con-
tenders. A battle between Schmel-
ing and Louis would have the en-
tire fighting world keyed to a
top-pitch.
In the second place, johnson
could offer no guarantee. Pro
moter Jacobs offer to Schmeling
which will be put in writing and
signed this afternoon - gives
Schmeling one-third of the gate
with a guarantee of $15O,000, to
be posted Immediately.

NEW YORK, July Is Q.N.S0.
Helen Wills Moody, the dark
haired tennis queen who "came
back" arrived from England to-
day aboard the liner George
Washington, wearing her newly
won mantle as Wimbledon cham
pion with modest dignity.
She announced to reporters who
met her that she is ready and
willing to meet Helen Jacobs
again and intends to play in the
nationals at Forest Hills this fall,
but that she will not compete in
the Wightman Cup matches this
year.
Mrs. Moody did not explain why
she will stay out of the Wight
man Cup play, which also will be
at Forest Hills this year.
Asked is she would like to again
meet Helen Jacobs-the California
girl who finally defeated Mrs.
Moody two years ago, sending her
into retirement, only to fall be-
fore her brilliant comeback at
Wimbledon-Mrs. Moody said:
81 wouldn't mind"
She hadn't "the slightest idea"
as to the secret of her comeback. -"
She admitted she lost in the
finals of the boats ping pong
tournament to Stanley H. Moress,
of Rochester, N. Y.

COMPROMISE
PLAN ON TAX
ADOPTED
Democrats Agree on
Bill to Raise $50
Millions in Year
By WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service


A new tax bill, based upon
President Roosevelt's tax message
but modifying his program, was
tentatively agreed on by House
Ways and Means Democrats to-
day.
The proposed bill is variously
estimated to raise from 200 to $50
million dollars a year.
The bill as tentatively agreed
to follows:
Increases in individual income
surtaxes beginning at incomes Of
$150,000 a year, with a surtax
of 81 per cent and rising to IS
per cent on incomes over ten
million dollars. In addition, the
normal 4 per cent income tax
stands.
A graduated corporation tax,
which probably would fluctuate
between 1874 and 14A per cent.
Present rate is 1874 per cent.
Excess Profits Tax
Excess profits tax beginning on
profits over or 10 per cent in.
stead of present 1917 per cent.
Inheritance tax graduated up
to rs per cent on inheritances
over ten million dollars with $50,
900 exemption for families and
$4,000 exemption for collateral
heirs.
Gift tax rates three-fourth Of
the inheritance tax rates.
The battle over President RooSe-
velt's proposal of graduated cor
poration income tax was settled
by a compromise which recognizes
the principle of the graduated tax
but relies chiefly upon an excess
profit tax to produce revenue.
The President was said by Chair
man Doughton CD of North
Carolina, of the Ways and Means
Committee, to be inSiStent upon
recognition of the principle of the
graduated corporation income tax,
which has been aclled a tax on
"bigness" and, experts say. would
tend to decentraliZe business.
After a majority of the Demo
Gratis expressed opposition to the
Presidents proposal and favored
the excess profits tax, Doughton
proposed the compromise plan.
which was adopted.
Democratic members, it was in
dicated, have settled their differ.
ences by caucus rule and thus will
prevent the Republican minority
from upsetting their. program.
The full committee, Doughton
said, will meet on Monday and the
bill will be formally reported on
Tuesday.

DEATH ORDER

Conferees Will Meet
Tomorrow; Senate
UnyieIding
International News Service

Possibility that utility legisla-
ton will fail Of final approval
during the present session Of Con-
gres was advanced today as House
members continued their staunch
opposition to the drastic holding
company death sentence"
The joint conference committee
Of House and Senate members
named to settle differences on the
measure headed toward an APP
parent deadlock.
Three of the five House con-
ferees- Representatives Huddles'
ton 3D. of Alabama, and Holmes
of Massachusetts, and Cooper Of
Ohio, Republican s. announced
they would stand firmly against
the death clause. The provision
was not included in the House bill
but was adopted by single vote
in the Senate.
Adjournment Forced
The conference committee was
forced to adjourn yesterday when
Huddleston objected to the pres
ence of Benjamin Cohen, New
Deal lawyer, and Dozier de Vane,
solicitor Of the Federal Power
Commission, in the conference
room.
Mr.. Huddleston asserted their
presence constituted an Admins
tration lobby for the death SEN
tence," since both aided in draft
ing the original utility bill.
Senator Wheeler Cd of Mon
tana, chairman of the Senate con-
ferees, indicated he would insist
on Messrs De Vane's and Cohen's
presence at further meetings, de-
claring:
II have not changed my mind
about this matter. These men
can give us information regard
ing this legislation"
Meanwhile Democratic leaders
denied emphatically that the
House would reverse its attitude
toward the death" clause.
Opinions LOrg Formed
Representative Boland Cd, of
Pennsylvania, House whip, said
the majority of members had
formed an opinion on the legisla-
ton long ago and would not
change their views.
Mr.. Huddleston said the testi-
mony developed before the House
and Senate committees inyestiga-
ting utility lobbying would have
little effect in altering the over
whelming House vote against the
death sentence

CABINET SHIFT
REPORTED

CONTINUED from Page I
the question arises as to what
place in the Cabinet Mr.. Bowers
would take. It could quite posi-
bly, be the Secretary of Com.
merce. There is a feeling that
Postmaster General Farley soon
will resign his Cabinet post to
undertake the management of the
next campaign.
May Transfer Roper
Secretary of Commerce Roper
is politically minded, and may
be moved over to the fine walnut.
lined, air-cooled headquarters Of
the Post Office Department, where
politics mingles with the mails.
There have been questions late
ly regarding the tenure of office
Of Secretary Ickes. No indication
has come from the White House
that he intends to resign or is
slated to go, but observers have
been watching to see just how far
the obdurate Secretary of Interior
can go in his occasional argu-
ments with the President.
Politically, Secretary 1ckes ap-
pears to be of less value to the
New Deal than some others. Sec
rotary IckeS has no use for poll
ticians, so the Democratic poll
ticianS say; and he has been the
center of several severe rows
among the Presidents supporters.
His clash with Senator Tydings
over the Virgin Islands matter
did not enhance his standing ION
the Hill"
Secretary Ickes' fight with Fed
eral Housing Administrator Moi
felt and later with Federal Relief
Administrator Hopkins nearly
caused a permanent breach in the
Presidents official family.
Ickes Highly Regarded
At the same time, it is known
that the President highly regards
Secretary Ickes' administrative
ability and his outstanding hon.
esty in administering the PWA
funds.
If Secretary Tckes should leave
the Cabinet to make way for
Claude Bowers, or anyone else, it
would cause a profound senSa-
ton in the Administration,
Secretary of the Navy Swan
son, who has not been in the best
of health, might easily retire.
There have been many rumors
of this in the past.
AS for Secretary of War Dern,
he keeps himself hidden from the
public gaze to such an extent
that his name is rarely mentioned
in the campaign Cabinet posSibili-
ties.
AS a speaker in the campaign,
Mr.. Bowers would give to the New
Deal campaign just about what is
needed in the way Of silver
tongued oratory. The Administra-
ton intends to put up O whale Of
a fight. It knows it has to fight.
And when it once gets started,
there will be an attempt made not
only to defend the Presidents pro-
gram, as enacted into law by Con-
gress, but also to put the opposi-
ton on the defensive. And there
is no one who could better launch
an attack on the Liberty League
and the Republican party than
could Mr.. Bowers.

At the same time political circles
reflected a definite feeling that
Italy faces international censure
for a breach of the League Of
Nations covenant if she refuses
to state her case at Geneva when
the League Council meets to con-
slider the Ethiopian crisis.
Still hopeful of having the is
sue fully aired at Geneva despite
Premier MuSsolini'S firm stand
against League "meddling," Brit
iSh spokesman pointed out that
not even Japan declined to dis
cusS the entire issue when she
was hailed before the council in
the Manchurian dispute.
Capt. Anthony Eden, minister
for League affairs, is leaving for
Geneva shortly confident the ma.
jority Of the powers will adopt the
British view that full airing of
the situation is essential to pre-
vent war.
Doubt World Defiance
British officials believe that
Mussolini will not defy the world
by launching hostilities before
stating in the League forum the
exact reasons for his military
preparations.
Even though Fulvio Suvich, I'M

affairs, transmitted Italy's oppo-
Sition to League interference to

assumed to be Premier Mussolini's
final words, Britain is unwilling
to limit League discussion to fail
ure Of the Cancellation commission
to reach decision.
The British maintain the time
is long past when the issue can
be confined within the narrow
limits of that commission-whose
task was to determine, if possible,
whether Italians or Philippians
fired the first shot precipitating
the Wab Wal incident.
Meanwhile, Ethiopia is having
its day at court. DR.. Azaj Warg-
neh Martin, new Ethiopian minis
ter here, visited the foreign office
this morning and then presented
his credentials to King George,
remaining for a garden party at
Buckingham Palace.
While this was going on, MusSo-
lini retired to his mountain refuge
at Rocca Dele Caminate-where
he went before his meeting with
Hitler and again to prepare for
the Stresa conference.-the formu-
late his final stand on the Ethi-
opian quarrel.
Ethiopia. according to dis
patches from Adds Ababa, was
preparing an answer today to
Italy's third note, representing a
recapitulation of previous mes
Sages concerning border disputes.
With the advocates Of strong
line at Geneva forced to bow to
the more moderate faction in the
cabinet, Captain Eden will go to
Geneva without definite inStruc-
tons and with almost a free hand
to make the best Of any oppor-
tunity for settlement, according
to well informed circles.
It was understood that the cab.
