not been apprehended.

present information he would not per
nit extradition of young Parker or
his father should the question arise.
William +. Geoghan, Kings county

have been made against the detective.

creasingly militant from now on.
Almost in the first paragraph of
his speech, Graham took a sock at
Governor J. c. B. Ehringhaus for not
calling a special session of the Cen
eral Assembly for enacting tobacco
control and compact legislation, and
declared that if he had been governor
he would have called such a session
and left mo stone unturned to put

He maintained that one of the DOM

TAX BILL PROBLEM
TO FORCE DIVIDEND
Some Would Pay Levy and
Keep Rest of Earnings,
Government Losing
By LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

CHIEF DIFFICULTY of the Sen
ate Finance Committee on the new
tax bill has been the adoption of a
plan to force distribution of earnings
in closely held corporations such as
the Ford Motor Company and the
Aluminium Corporation of America
(Andrew Mellon).
Such was the word given out by
the Wall Street Journal-and unde-
MED either in Washington or in Wall
Street.
The government is eager for these
undistributed earnings to be forced
out into the hands of stockholders
who would pay income tax on them
Most powerful pressure against the
new tax bill has been from the in
terests against whom the government
would use the most powerful pressure
to distribute earnings.
Chairman Pat Harrison of the Sen
ate Finance Committee was not sure
that AZ IL per cent pressure" rate
was high enough. That was the sum
in the bill, as received by the Senate
from the House, to be assessed a.
gainst corporations which failed tt
distribute current earnings.
The Wall Street Journal remarks:
"The question is whether it would
be advisable to raise the pressure
rate to something nearer the higher
surtax rates on individual income in
the top brackets.
Gas the bill now is written the

"If could see him just one more

This is the plea made to Washington
police by Mrs. Mary Anne Elizabeth
Bryan Of Norfolk, Va, in her search
for a brother whom she has not seen
for 10 years.
Mrs. Bryan is rs years old and in
her dimming eyes she can still see re-

Marion, may still be either par
TALLY blinded or suffering from weak
eyes, because Of those ashes, Mrs.
Bryan said.
Story Begins In 1852.
The beginning of Mrs. Bryan's
story, as she told it to police yester-
day, is the death Of her father, Bur-
CESS Marion, q Confederate soldier, in
1862 at Wilson, N. C. The missing
brother was born at about the same
time the father died. Their home was
at Pilot Mountain, N. c.
Three years later the mother left
Mrs. Bryan and her brother, Joseph
Alexander Marion, now n and living
at Exmore. Va, in the care Of min
lister in Lewisburg, N. C. Mrs. Marion
went to visit her brother in Franklin
County, N. C. From there she left for
some point in Illinois, the exact des-
tination never having been known to
the elder children.
Longing for Brother Grows.
AS time passed, Mrs. Bryan married
and devoted her entire time to her
husband and daughter, Miss Elmyra
