HOUSE. VEER|NG.
To MODERATE .
TAX PLAN
Strong Opposition Developing
Against the Presidents
"Soak-the Saving" Idea
international News Service


Sentiment in the House Ways
and Means Committee today
veered toward a moderate tax
program as fears arose that far
reaching measure may have an
adverse effect on business.
After lengthy discussion Of the
Presidents tax message, the COM
mittee admittedly had framed no
program.
Members individually, including
Democrats who are in the major
ity, emphasized that the program
is likely to be limited in scope
and in amount.
Excess Profits Tax Likely
Some members predicted that
less than 5000, 100000 would be
raised by the bill now in prepare
ton.
The committee apparently had
definitely, though without any
formal action, discarded proposals
Of broadening the measure to in
clude boost in income taxes on
all classes Of taxpayers.
Members indicated that the bill
is likely to start with tax boost
on individual incomes of from
500, 900 to 100000 o year: in
heritances of $780, 900 to $400, 900
and up, with an excess profits tax
to replace the graduated corpora
ton tax suggested by President
Roosevelt.
Strong Opposition Rising
Strong opposition developed to
the Presidents policy. as outlined
in his message, of curtailing the
size of corporations. Representa-
tive Sanders CD o. Texas. a
committee member said:
"In my judgment the COM
mittee will bring in a bill not
to 'SOak-the-rich' nor to do an
injustice to those not in that
class.
Taxation should be based on
the ability to pay and in my
judgment q bill will be written
by the committee on this basis
to the exclusion Of everything
else"
A prolonged fight, especially in
the Senate, was predicted by Re-
publican members of the commit
tee. Representative Bacharach
(R.>. Of New Jersey, said:
''If they 80 through with the
tax program, Congress won't ad-
iOurn before September Is at
the earliest"
Proposals were made in the
committees discussion of the tax
problem with congressional ex.
perts that an investigation be
made Of the effect of the tax
program on business.
Business Effect Feared
The proposals were taken un-
der consideration, with indica.
tons that the committee may
call high officials of the Govern
ment before it in closed session.
The possibility of the effect OF
a soak the saving" tax policy,
with the breaking up of big ag-
gregations of capital, upon bust
ness recovery, apparently dis
turbed many committee members.

CUSTOMS FORCE.
NEEDS AGENTS
QUADRUPLED
Only Then Can They Expect to
Cope With SmugglerS OF
Watches and JeWeIry

Accompanied by a plea for q
four-fold increase in the numerical
force of Customs agents, a report
from the Customs Enforcement
Division OF the Treasury Depart.
ment today revealed that 11,416
watch movements worth $84,58l.54
were smuggled into this country
during 1884. A Customs official
said:
"Unless our force is quad.
rupled, we can not hope to cope
successfully with the Smugglers
Of watches and jewelry. We
depend almost entirely upon
the advice of infOrmers, both
in Europe and in the United
States. COnSequen tly, our
seizures vary directly with the
activities Of these infOrmers."
Explaining that seizures for this
reason we're necessarily sporadic,
the Customs enforcement official
declared:
"FrOm January 1, 1888, to
June 30, 1885, we took 1856
watch movements valued at
S11,632.95. But as result Of
approximately two years work,
we seized 2,O2S Swiss watch
movements worth about $4,000
from a foreign steamship at
tache when he tried to land in
New York on July 10.
DEPENDS ON SPIES
"This brings the total to date
to 1884 movements, worth $751;
632.95. Whether we continue
at this rate or surpass it dur.
ing the balance of the year de-
ponds almost wholly upon the
activities of foreign and dOmeS-
tic people who are willing to
trade their information for
cash."
According to the records of the
customs enforcement division, al
most three times as many seizures
of watch movements were made
during the five years in which
the tariff act of 1922 was in
force as were made since the 1880
tariff act went into effect.
From the inception of 1922 law
until June 81, 1890. 123,024 SNUG
gled watch movements were
seized and their domestic value
was placed at $403, 564.51. Move
ments which had been assem-
bled in foreign countries, then
knocked down" into their COM
ponent parts such as balance
wheels, main springs, dials, ETC.,
to be later assembled in this
country, were seized in the num-
Der of 114,9O0 at a domestic value
of $792,794.65. This brought the
total of the 1922 tariff act period
to 237,924 movements, valued at
$l,196,359.l6.

BERLIN, July 25.-The Nazi drive
against Jews, Catholics and war
veterans went forward unabated to-
day. with instances piling up in all
sections of Germany.
A cross-section of events is given
in dispatches from the following
cities:
Mecklenburg Political police
disbanded three Steel Helmet or
ganizations in this district. confis-
Gated their funds and forbade them
to wear uniforms.
KoenigSberg - Police announced
that a Jewish merchant. Kowalski,
with his Jewish friend Hirschberg
and a former Communist named
zander had been taken into custody
after the smashing of the windows
of Kowalski's shop by unidentified
persons. The morning after the
windows were broken, Zander was
alleged tc have remarked, This is
German culture" Police TIL e
claimed it was likely" Zander had
smashed the windows at the mer-
chants own request, to discredit
Hitlerite organizations.
Heilsberg - Secret police closed
the premises of Catholic youth or
ganizations in the bishops palace
because four black, red and gold
flags were found there. The black,
red and gold colors Of the Weimar

tions as an emblem of the move
ment for a greater Germany en-
bracing the reich and Austria.
