tax bill, General Counsel Robert Fl.
Jackson of the bureau of internal
revenue told the senate finance
committee today.
"The effect Jackson said,
would be to convert what is now
a family industry into a widely
owned one, and to permit the pub
lie to share in the future earnings
of an enterprise to the building

as "unsound' and explained the
pending bill aimed to reverse 1t.

support by land, sea and air in
the event of a mad dog" attack
by Italy today while Britain pre-
pared for trouble by making plans
to convert ten cavalry regiments
into a fast mechanical division.
Britain's moves were especially
significant because of the unfav-
orable reaction in Rome to the
appointment of Anthony Eden,
who wants to ham-string Italy
with further League Of Nations
sanctions, as British Foreign
Secretary.
In Rome the well-disciplined
Italian press renewed threats Of
war and issued more blasts against
the League, while unofficially the
view prevailed Eden's appointment
has killed further attempts to
reach peace in Ethiopia.
Italy also reported a fierce bat
tie on the northern front, claim
ing the EthiopianS were routed.
Losses on both sides we're de-
scribed as heavy.
The League received a note from
italy indirectly blaming Britain
for alleged use of explosive bullets
by Ethiopia.
Paris believed Premier Laval
would try to impede Eden's drive
for further sanctions against Italy,
but saw Laval being thrown out
of office by late spring.

was issued calling for a week of
