PROCESS TAX
New Plan Evolved Would
Close Loophole for Big
Corporations
DOUCHTON IS CAUSTIC,
BRIEF in COMMENT
By ARTHUR F. DEGREVE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May lG. (UP)
The senate finance committee last
night unanimously rejected Pres
ident Roosevelt's suggestion for
the inclusion of farm processing
taxes in the new revenue bill and
then moved toward agreement on
a compromise" plan which would
raise normal income tax rates
from a to 5 per cent and corpor-
ate income from Is to IL per
cent.
With the deadlock in the pow
erful committee apparently bro
ken. Chairman Pat Harrison 3D.,
Miss.) explained the new plan to
newspaper correspondents and de-
clared it would raise as much if
not more than the $623,00O,0 900
expected under the corporate tax
provision approved by the house.
"There is an excellent chance
of the committee together on
some basis such as this composite
idea," Harrison said. "There is no
agreement yet, however"
The plan provides:
A flat corporation income tax
of Is per cent. e:
An. increase i'm normal income
tax rates from a to 5 per cent.
All dividends to be subject Ia
normal income tax rates.
A 7 per cent supertaX on all
undistributed income.
Revision of section l02 Of the
revenue act so that its penalty
provisions will not apply to cor
porations having an income of
$4,000 or less and to those cor
porations which distribute 20 per
cent or more of their earnings in
dividends.
A 35 per cent penalty tax on
corporations retaining so per
cent of their net income in re-
serves.
The plan, experts said, meets
the criticism that large corpora
! tons would be able to escape all
/ federal taxes-a possibility under
the house bill-and that small
business men would be unable to
set aside adequate reserves and
thus become prey to monopolis-
tic practices.
The proposal to boost normal
income tax rates came as a sur
prise since such a plan had been
informally discussed and rejected
in the house ways and means COM
mittee, and was not even limited
at in President Roosevelts mes
sage to congress in March,
The main objection on Capitol
Hill to adding one per cent to the
income tax of "the man in the
street" and also forcing him to
pay a normal income tax on his
dividends was the natural reluc-
lance in congress to impose new
taxes on voters during an cleo
ton year.
Commenting on the senate COM
mittee's compromise" last night,
Chairman Robert l.. Doughton
3D., MO- of the house ways and
means committee said sarcastical-
ly, ut looks like they're looking
out for the little Teller. Pm afraid
too many tears are being shed for
so-called weak corporations"
He refused to comment further,
saying, "The whole thing will
have to be threshed out between
u.s."

NOHMtEW kEgD8 V hNA8HagA81 AtAbg0AI New York, Jan. 2l-(UP) Stocks fluctuated narrowly today in the duIlest trading of the year. Com- modities were firm in csirtalled ses- siOf1s, and the dollar was steady in terms of foreign ctirrencies.
 Most commodity markets reduced tarding time out of respect for the late King George. The stock ex- change took no action but its gov- erning committee at the regular weekly session tomorrow was ex- pected to order some ciirtailnent for the funeral next Tuesday. The Lon- don, Montreal and Winnipeg ex- changes were closed. The New York and New. Orleans cotton exchanges closed at noon.
 stock exchange sales barely crossed the million share mark. Ra- dio corporation was most active, with United Aircraft, Douglas, and Packard close behind. Recognized ieaders were dull.
 Continued gains in car loadings helped rails which rose under lead of Union Pacific. The latter, down more than . point in the morning. scared several points. Atchison gained more than e point.
 Douglas Aircraft hit Q new high ina firm aviation section. Manatai Sugar issues made new highs. Cu- ban American preferred plunged 6 points when the company's presi- dent denied reports the company had worked out Q plan to pay oil some of the $50 accumulated divi- dens on the issue.

BONUS WILLPASS
 EARLY TOMORROW
Will Be Rushed Through House Sent at Once
 to White House

Washingtcn, Jan. 21--tUP) The overwhelming senate vote convinced bonus leaders today that the e2,- 237y yOO0. 900 "'Baby Bond" bill will be enacted into law over . presidential veto.
 The comprOmise measure drawn by administration leaders In the senate and passed 74 to 10 will ,be brought up in the hotSse tomorrow as substitute for the cash pay- ment bill previously passed by the house.
 Despite predictions that 1t would be vetoed, house leaders expected that body would approve 1t promptly and send 1t to the White House. Veterans' organizations have passed the word around that the "Baby Bond" bill is satisfactory.
 Administrations leaders said they had received no word aS to the presidents intentions. Several doubted he would deliver g veto message in person as he did year ago, or. that he would exert strong administration influence to force g sustaining vote.
 There seems to be no doubt the house would override veto. 1t passed the cash payment bill 266 to 69. The more than { to vote in the senate left but little doubt of the Senate's intentions. A 2-to-l vote in both houses Is necessary to override Q veto.
 Last year the senate passed the Patman inflationary Bonus Bill 66 to 8. The house 0verrode the pres. ident's veto, 322 to 90. but the sen- ate sustained 1t 66 to 70 under strong administration pressure.

Death OfKing George Fifth
 Is Blo1u To Social Season

mourning and, although he ordered six months of general mourning when Edward VII died, he relaxed 1t after six weeks. His practice thereafter was to reduce all periods of mourning. It is recalled that the court was in deep black for two years for Queen Victoria but only three months for Queen Alexandra.
 Foreign courts will go into mourn ing for varying periods. When Queen Alexandra died, the emperor of Japan ordered eight days of mourning. the king of Denmark one month, the king of Sweden three weeks, the king of Norway three months, the king of the Belgians two weeks. Much depends on how closely the foreign royal family is connected by ties of kinship to the king.
 When full mourning is relaxed the custom is to institute a modified form called half-mourning. In half-mourning, the ladies of the court may wear dark dresses with colored ribbons, flowers and other trimmings, or white dresses with black ribbons. Since ordinary court dress for men is the formal black coat and striped trousers, there is no change. They continue to wear the black arm-band and tie of full mourning.

 Long headquarters in New Orleans as 8 precautionary measure a few hours after the polls opened in the statewide democratic primary today.
 The first raId was staged on al- legged anti-Long headquarters in the fifth ward and five men, who police charged were armed with Shotguns and pistols, were taken to headquarters. Reyer ordered the men held until after the polls close. Voting began in tense atmos- phere not yet cooled from the bit- terest campaign on record. The rival candidates called one another epithets without standing even in impolite society. The long forces were in conrtol of the election ma chinery and charges of plotted wholesale frauds. circulating for weeks, were renewed. Police here and through the state guarded polls against violence, but here and most places they, too, were controlled by Long officials.
 Federal Agents Watch.
 Federal agents, employed by Q congressional committee, watched the voting for the federal investi- gation that may follow.
 Appellate Judge Richard w. Lee che, candidate for governor, headed the long ticket. He was opposed by Congressman Cleveland Dear. Be- cause Long, through dictatorial laws damned through his legislature concentrated vast powers in the governor and in boards and com- missions appointed by the governor, the man who succeeds Gov. O. K. Allen becomes a potential dictator. Therefore, the fight for his office was the focal point of the cam- paign. The successful candidate will have Q four year term. Defeat for the machine will probably mean It's disintegration.
 Allen was candidate for Longs unexpired term in the senate, op- posed by Frank J. Looney. of shre- veport. Long man Allen Ellender. speaker of the house, sought the Six year senate term against Congress- man John N. Sandlin. Earl K. Long who was his brother Hueys enemy while he lived, was Long candidate for lieutenant governor.
 Abolition Campaign.
 The anti-Long coalition cam paigned in a demand for abolition of Longs dictatorial laws and the return of "home rule" They ac- cused the machine of practically every felony in the statute books. from theft to murder. Longs fol- lowers asked a chance to carry out our inartyred leaders work" They promised social security, old age pensions, all undefined, plus share- the-wealth. They accused the anti- Long men of "murdering" Long.

SECOND RETRIEVE
 FOR HAUPTMANN

Trenton, N. J., Jan. 2l-(UP)- Gov. Harold c. Hoffman, determin- ed to unearth the whole and final story" of the Kidnapping and murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr, is pre- pared to grant Q second repieve to Bruno Richard Hauptmann if nec- essary, 1t was indicated today.
 Within the next few weeks Hoff- man intends to investigate every single factor that has raised a doubt in his mind. Should this in- quiry overlap the expiration of the first 30-day reprieve Q second pe- riod of grace is not unlikely, acc cording to informed opinion.
 Among the points posed by the governor for concentrated exaInina- ton is the conviction of John Hughes Curtis, Virginia shipbuilder, for having had contacts with Q gang of kidnapers when the subse- quent state theory that Hauptmann committed the crime himself.
 Hoffman also would like to clear up the apparent conflict in state- ments made before the trial by 'Dr. J. F., (Jafsie) Condon with his testi- mony at the trial. t.,e

London, Jan. 21.-(UP) - The death of King George V is a severe blow to the social season here and in British colonies throughout the world.
 It entails Q long period of court mourning which will be respected in many foreign courts, thus prac- tically stopping all social functions. It also has 6 great affect on the general British public because of the period of general morning to be an- nounced by the new king. This period for the court and the royal family will extend for one year. For the fighting forces and public bodies, 1t lasts for Six months, ac- cording to precedent; and for the public, about one week.
 There are strict rules for the type of morning cloths to be worn by the court. For at least the first six months, black clothes must be worn. They should be made of dull mate- rials such as crepe marocairl, crepe mongol, dul satin and duh lace. No shiny materials such as ordinary satin are considered appropriate. Pearls are the correct jewels. Dia- monds must not be worn.
 For the fighting services and the public, 8 black arm-band, button or tie are sufficient. Flags on public buildings probably will be half- masted for about week. The col- ors of the different regiments will have Q black mourning wreath af- fixed.
 All social fufnctions of any kind will be cancelled for at least a week. Theaters, movies. amusements of all kinds will be closed. While 1t is realized that this means the loss of thousands of pounds in rev- enue, a majority of entertainment places insure themselves annually against such . contingency.
 There is Q possibility that the mourning periods may be abbreviat- ed. King George himself hated
