PRESIDENT TO GET
TAX SURVEY REPORT
Comparative Data May Form
Basis of Attitude on D. C.
Fiscal Relations.

Results of the comparative tax
survey instigated by President .Roose-
welt are expected to reach the White
House some time next week.
The survey is being made by experts
of the Treasury Department and is
expected to form the basis of the
Presidents attitude on fiscal relations
between the District and Federal Gov
ernments, particularly as to the size
of the Federal contribution to the
District budget.
Some weeks ago, when the President
was discussing the tax question in the
District of Columbia, he intimated he
would like to see corrected what he
termed the present "hit-and-miss"
fashion of fixing tax rates in the
District by congressional committees
and officials of the District govern
ment.
Mr.. Roosevelt gave no intimation.
however, that he personally would
make q move to improve the situation.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A threat of new taxes was the ad-
ministration's answer today to pro-
ponents of immediate payment OF the
soldiers bonus.
Acknowledging that cash bonus
bill would pass the House because
there is no opposition to it" Repre-
sentative Byrns, Democrat, Of Ten
nessee, Speaker-to-be, declared that
if it was finally enacted, the admins
tration would insist on some addi-
tional taxation to meet the estimated
50 .0OO, ,000, 900 expenditure.
At the same time, a leading Demo-
cratic Senator, who declined to permit
US of his name, predicted also that
such a measure, expected TO be intro
duced and acted upon early in the
congressional session opening tomor-
row. would receive Senate approval.
Both were in doubt, however. as to
whether the proposal would pass Con-
gress finally over a presidential veto,
which now is considered certain.
Throwing down the gantlet to presi-
dental opposition to such measure,
Frank L. Belgrano, jr., national COM
mander of the American Legion, said
Yesterday that President Roosevelt's S
recent expression on the subject ac-
tllally contained strong argument for
immediate payment.
He asserted the veterans would
use the bonus money to pay grocery
and rent bills and that it therefore
would find its way quickly into busi-
ness and trade channels.

dreadful ordeal" but worth while If
it results in expiation of the crime.
The 74-year-old retired school
teacher, "Jafsie" of the Lindbergh
ransom negotiations, withheld his
opinion as to whether Hauptmann IS
guilty, but expressed hope that he Is
nearing an end to the task he set
himself 2 years and 10 months ago.
It was then that he entered the
abduction case as Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh's Intermediary, and since
that time he has sought relentlessly
to bring to justice the perpetrator OF
what he describes as "the most das-
tardly crime in modern history"
Still Confident.
Sitting in his Bronx home, sur
rounded by members Of his family,
the man who has been a prominent,

case said he approached the ordeal

his motives cannot be impugned.

minister of foreign affairs, will go TO
Rome tomorrow night to talk to
Premier Mussolini of Italy in the
hopes of reaching final accord on
Franco-Italian relations and o joint
policy on Central Europe.
The foreign minister made his def
mite decision for the journey today
after a conference with the French
cabinet.
The French authorities decided that
the possibility for an agreement in
principle, at least, was sufficient war
rant for his making the trip, the first
any French foreign minister has made
to Rome since the World War.
The late Louis Barthou had planned
to go to Rome for the Mussolini con-
ference, but he delayed his trip until
he had welcomed King Alexander OF
Yugoslavia at Marseille October 9. An
assassin's bullets ended both their
lives within a few minutes after the
Kings arrival in France.
Barthou long had advocated rap
prochment between France and Italy
and Lavals decision to make the trip
which Barthou planned is regarded as
carrying out the Barthou program.
