HEARST STAND
AGAINST REDS
COMMENDED

William Randolph Hearst'S
stand against Communism in the
United States was lauded in the
House Of Representatives yester'
day during a heated debate In
which Secretary of War Dern was
roundly scored for his alleged re
fusal to support a bill whic h
would make it a crime to incite
the Army or Navy to disobedience
Representative John w. Nc
Cormack, D0 of Massachusetts,
said:
when the Secretary of War
or any other member of the Cab
met sends q letter to the Con-
gress endorsing a bill and then
changes his position that man
loses the confidence of every
member Of both branches OF
Congress.
HITS RED SPEECH
They cannot rely on his
word in the future. They can
not rely on the consistency OF
his position. Whether members
agree with this bill or not, Dern
has done something which has
destroyed his effectiveness in
the minds Of members Of Con-
greSs."
Representative Thomas L. Blan.
ton then switched the subject OF
debate to denouncing the Sched-
uled radio address today OF Earl
Browder. He said:
do the gentlemen know that
in spite of all this committee
has done that one Of the great
est Communists in the United
States is to speak over the radio
tonight? He is a representa-
tive of the Daily Worker. who
has direct connection with Rus
sia and is to speak over the
radio on a nationwide hOOkup."
FEC DENOUNCED
Representative John L. McClel-
Ian called attention to an editorial
appearing in a Hearst newspaper
and said:
Hundreds of kilograms are
pouring into the Federal Com
municatiOnS Commission de-
nOuncing it for letting such a
broadcast go on and Mr.. Hearts
strong stand is to be COM
mended,"

Bear Is Captured
After StrOlling
Through S. E.

This is a red,letter day for
BuSco.
Despite the fact that he IS only
1 year old, Busco this morning
took a stroll through Southeast
Washington, attempted to play
with a couple Of youngsters, was
chased through woods by several
adults and finally returned to his
home, after he had bitten one
Of his captorS.
BuSco Is a 200-pound black
bear, standing about 4 feet high
when he rears on his hind legs.
He is a pet Of U. S. Randle, real
estate man of ISIS Pennsylvania
Ave. s. E., who keeps the bear
at stable near Thirty-fifth Street
and Pennsylvania Avenue South
east.
No one knows when BuSco dis
appeared from his pen this morn
ing. but he was very much in
evidence in her front yard when
Miss Olive Selby, Of 2917 N st.
S. E., looked out Of a window
about $3.50 a. m.
Her brother, Richard Selby, 20,
and an uncle, Erwin C. Howard,
As, went out to interview the Wis
itor. BuSco proved to be a hard
hearted gueSt-he bit Richard on
the arm.
The two men, accompanied by
a crowd of youngsters, attempted
to capture Busco, who led them
on a long chase through woods
before he was cornered, roped and
driven back to the Selby resi-
dence.
There his owner came for him,
and Busco is now back in his pen,
no doubt ruminating on the pc
cuIiaritieS Of human beings.
Selby was taken to Casualty
Hospital, treated for the wound
on his arm, and sent home.

PLAN LIKELY

Continued from Page y,
nobody should be exempted

He said that it had been sug-
gested that corporations might be
allowed a lower tax rate on sur
pluses up to Is to 20 per cent of
income.
Democratic leaders continued to
be optimistic over the chances of
putting the Presidents program
through Congress.

Sentatives Of important buSi-

position"
One proposal under considera-
tion was complete exemption for

panieS.
Representative Bacharach (RO j.,
Of New Jersey, said Treasury eX-
pertS had explained the plan as
possibly driving money from sur
plus into dividends and thus max
ing the bill in effect an income
tax boost.
Graduation Of the tax on un-
divided profits so as to hit big
companies hardest was held likely
by members of the subcommittee.
Graduations of from 20 to 40 per

TALMADGE SCI
FOR DEFENSE

ATLANTA, Ca, March 5
G.N.SO.-Gov. Eugene Talmadge
today was preparing to defend in
the courts his efforts to operate
the State of Georgia without an
appropriation measure.
With his newly revised finan-
cial set-up hinging on a hearing
to be held before a three-judge
Fulton county superior court here
Saturday, he called in his aides
to map defense Of his action in
ousting the elected State trea-
Surer, George B. Hamilton, and
the appointment of j. B. "Tobe"
Daniel in his stead.
The court action was brought
by three Atlanta banks, which
have refused to surrender State
funds now on deposit, in an ef-
fort to obtain a judicial ruling on
who is the legally constituted
State treasurer.
That the governor was conf
dent of winning the suit was seen
in his comment on the early clos.
ing of certain schools in the State
because of lack Of funds:
"They should have waited un.
til Saturday,"
Much of the school funds are
tied up in checks which the banks
have refused to honor because OF
the widespread doubt over who is
the lawful treasurer.
Just what line of defense the
governor will pursue in the action
has not been revealed, but it was
believed by many quarters that
counsel for the Talmadge admin
istration would contend that the
banks are no longer State deposi'
tories and therefore have no law
full right to refuse to surrender
the funds.

they are perfectly right.
For with the passing Of years
there are material changes in the
human face, DR.. Ales Hrdlicka,
curator of physical anthropology
at the Smithsonian Institute, re.
vealed today.
With the passing Of the years,
the ears grow longer, the nose
grows longer and broader and the
mouth grows wider, the scientist
said, baSing this statement on
thousands of experimental mea-
surements he has made over a
period of years.
The increase of the breadth Of
the nose exceeds the gain in
