States Attorney James H. Pugh
said that Rabbit recently foreclosed
a mortgage on the couples home
and since had received a letter from
Mrs. Spencer. which read, in part
as follows:
You'll never get away with It
You'll regret having sold the farm
stealing it away from U.s."
The States attorney also said he
was in possession Of six affidavits
from persons who heard the woman
voice threats to kill Rabbit.
Detective Sergt. James S. McAulifft

bitt reported he had been fired upor
three times, and he told Pugh he
learned that Mrs. Spencer had ap-
piled for lodging in Gaithersburg or

.38-caliber revolver at the time.
One of the bullets fired at Rabbit
shattered a window in the rear of his
automobile as he halted his car to
close q pasture gate at the entrance
to lane leading to his home. The
flying glass cut his face and he sped
from the scene. The other two mis-
siles went wild.

taxes Raised.
HOUSE KILLS MANY
OTHER AMENDMENTS
Effort to Raise Corporation Levy
to More Than 16 Per Cent
Is Dealt Defeat.
BY JOHN C. HENRY,

Without a record vote. the House
today disagreed with President Roose-
Welt and passed the WAYS and Means
Committee amendment permitting
corporations to make tax-exempt gifts
to charity.
The action, taken as the House
pushed the s270.O0o, 900 tax measure
toward a final vote, allows corpora
items tax exemption up to per cent
of their net income for gifts TO char
ity. The amendment was submitted
by Representative Mccormack, Dem
ocrat, of Massachusetts,.
In discussion of the amendment.
Representative Treadway, Republican.
Of Massachusetts,, called attention of
the House to the minority report con-
oemning failure Of the committee TO
include such exemption in its draft
OF the bill. The majority decision, in
contradiction TO the wishes of the
President, was reached after publica-
ton of this minority report, Treadway
said.
OndfgcS Dlctdtl0ns
Its original omission was at the die
tate Of the White House. Treadway
charged. as conveyed to the commit
tee by Charles West, former Demo-
cratic Representative from Ohio.
Treadway referred to West, White
House liaison officer. as having kept
in close touch with the Ways and
Means Committee on the charitable
gifts exemption, but Chairman
Doughton insisted that "Mr West
never directly or indirectly made any
suggestion to me or any other COM
mitteeman so far as I know"
Except for the action on charitable
donations, the House was following
strictly the majority report of the
Ways and Means Committee, reject
ing all other amendments Among
the more important provisions Of this
report approved today was that pro-
viding new increased surtaxes on all
individual incomes over $4,000 and
the section narrowing from 6 to l
per cent the graduated tax on cor
poration incomes.
Before the House met today. Speaker
Byrns predicted that consideration of
the measure would be completed by
mid-afternoon today and that the bill
would be passed on Monday without
change.
Most Of the unsuccessful Republican
opposition today centered on elimina-
ton of the graduated income tax on
corporations.
From the left-wing group came sew
eral attempts to broaden the appli-
cation of the new measure. but these
met the common fate of defeat by
administration forces.
Truax Loses.
Representative Truax, Democrat, OF
Ohio offered the first amendment
after the House met at 10 am. today
his proposal being to raise the maxi
mum corporation income tax to 1874
per cent. instead of 14K4, as proposed
in the pending bill. The present rats
on all corporations is 1884 per cent.
To Truax's claim that his amend
ment followed the suggestion Of the
President, Representative Cooper,
Democrat of Tennessee, asmember Of
the Ways and Means Committee, an
swered that the Ohioan was seeking
to conform in only one direction. At
the same time, he said. Truax would

M'CARL TO SPEED
WORK-REL|EF FUND
President Expects Program
to Be in Full Swing
by November.
BY the AssociatedPress.


Declaring 80 or 95 per cent Of the
employables on relief will have beer
given jobs by November, President
Roosevelt also says Controller Genera
McCarl has agreed to speed up the
clearance of work relief funds.
At his press conference yesterday
Mr.. Roosevelt placed responsibility fol
a fortnight's delay on McCarl, but
he did not criticize him for it. Nc
Carl's assistants, the President said
were not yet wholly accustomed to the
procedure.
Mr.. Roosevelt reiterated a hope that
private employment increases would
relieve the Government of part of the
burden Of finding jobs for the relief
population.
McCarl on Fishing Party.
McCarl, who has scrutinized pro-
posed expenditures for ~ years, was q
presidential fishing party guest last
week end. This was recalled when the
President said McCarl had given as
surance that the funds would be ex-
pedited.
OF the $4,000 100000 total Mr.
Roosevelt so far has released $751;
992,5l8 in work relief appropriations
to the Works Progress Administration
Others, including 100000 fol
New York City. have been held uI
by McCarl for detailed study of prof.
ects. The President said the sepa-
rate programs do not remain in the
White House more than couple Of
hours before moving on to McCarl.
At the same time. the President
emphasized that there had been nc
change in the aims of the 1000, 900,
900 work relief program. The program
scarcely will be at its maximum in
November. he said, because the peak
of unemployment usually is in Janu-
airy. February or March.
Saying he had no estimates for the
number of jobs provided in August
Mr.. Roosevelt said there would be a
large number in September, and q
sharp increase in October.
Concerned Over UnemployabIes.
As for the unemployables, whom he
intends to transfer entirely to the
care of States and communities, Mr.
Roosevelt said this was still his inten-
ton but that people could not be left
to starve because their fellow citizens
did not want to provide for them.
The number of unemployables sup
ported wholly or in part by the Federal
Government was estimated recently
at 100000, but relief officials said
thousands had been taken of Federal
relief in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, Federal slum clearance
activities resumed the offensive after
q decision denying p. w. A. authority
to condemn land. Following the an
nouncement that this verdict by the
Cincinnati Circuit Court Of Appeals
would be taken to the Supreme Court.
the Justice Department filed con-
demnation suit for the site Of So

project at Minneapolis.
Proceedings had been held UP since
the Cincinnati court upheld the de-
cision Of the district court IN the
