State Troopers Rush to Scene as
Another Gordonsville" Is
Threatened.

STAFF CORRESPONDENT of The Star


LEESBURG, Va. May 20.-A So
year-old colored dog fancier locked
himself in his house here today and
told officers he would have another
Gordonsville" before he would permit
them to arrest him on liquor charge.
Sheriff E. S. Adrian of Loudoun
County has asked immediate aid from
State troopers, who were said to be
on their way here with tear gas bombs
and machine guns.
The man in the house is Payne
Diggs, proprietor Of the "Leesburg
Kennels" whose two-story frame house
Is across from the Thomas Walsh
Library on West Market street, Just
two blocks from the heart of the
town.
Diggs, who has been arrested on
liquor charges here several times be-
fore, received a visit shortly before
noon from Charles F. Harrison, COM
monwealth's attorney.
This was the conversation, it is said,
during which Diggs made the refer
ence to Gordonsville-the tragedy of
five days ago wherein a colored man
and his sister were shot to death by
State troopers after killing an officer
as they resisted arrest In their barri-
caded home. The affair took place
near Charlottesville.

Not to Be Candidate for Re.

ernor Announces.
BY the Associated Press.

ALBANY, N. Y, May 20.-Gov. Leh-
be a candidate for reelection this Fall.
In a move wholly unexpected even
by his closest friends, the Governor
summoned newsmen to his Office
shortly after noon.
II feel that the time has come when
may ask release from the cares and
responsibilities of the governorship,
he said.
Mr.. Lehman has served two two
year terms as Governor.
Appreciates Support.
The Governor added that he has
been deeply moved by and appre-
ciatiye Of the expressed desire Of my
friends that I should again stand for
reelection"
May assure them that at no time
will my interest in the welfare of the
people Of the State of New York
diminish" he said.
Mr.. Lehman's statement took the
capitol by surprise, inasmuch as it
had been believed he would accept
the nomination for a third term
without question.
1t is known that Democratic lead
ers desired the Governor to run again
and regarded his candidacy as
strength for President Roosevelt in
New York State.
The entire conference consumed less
than 3 minutes, so anxious were the
newspaper men to reach their wires
and telephones
Succeeded Roosevelt.
Mr. Lehman entered State service
in 1928 as lieutenant governor under
the then Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt,
which position he served through 1882.
At the end of their four years to-
gether, when Mr.. Roosevelt was look
ing toward Washington, he and Al
fred E. Smith supported Mr.. Lehman
as his successor. MIR. Lehman de-
feated William J. Donovan, Repub-
lican, in the 1882 election. the first
lieutenant governor in nearly 80 years
to succeed to the governorship in a
regular election. He defeated Robert
Moses in his second campaign. He
is now 81 years old.
Before he entered politics the Gov
ernor was an internationally known
banker and philanthropist, and had
been a textile manufacturer, invest
ment banker, director in dozen cor
porations, an educator, a social worker,
colonel in the Army. assistant Secre-
tary of War, and labor mediator.
The Governors statement immedi-
ately aroused speculation in political
circles as to the possible nominees
Outstanding among them, observers
pointed out, are Attorney General

W|NDF ALL LEVY
OF F8O%APPR0VED
BY SENATE GROUP
Provision of Tax Measure
Voted by Committee in
Modified Form.
BY the Associated Press.

In its first decisive action on the
mittee today approved in modified
form an 80 per cent "windfall" tax
on professors who escaped payment
of the old A. A. A. processing taxes.
The changes were designed largely
to make the tax less stringent in its
application. One would make the levy
inapplicable if a professor showed a
loss in the commodities to which the
processing taxes applied over an entire
taxable year.
Today's decision partly cleared the
way for the committee to tackle the
heart Of the bill-the corporation tax
angle. It expected to reach this later
in the day.
Committeeman indicated that as
soon as technical amendments of q
clarifying nature are prepared, they
would approve provisions for refunds
of taxes on floor stocks on hand when
the A. A. A. was invalidated.
One amendment to the windfan
feature was aimed at major objections
raised against it by one professor
after another in open hearings. 1t
would simplify computations by giving
professors the option of computing
their unjust enrichment" or lack Of
it on the basis of average income for
an entire year on commodities to
which the processing taxes applied,
rather than attempting to find oVt
how much income was derived from
individual transactions in the COM
modities.
Witnesses had complained that
without this change, they would be
compelled to incur exorbitant expenses
to comply the bills provisions.
The committee also decided to give
professors three years in which to
pay the windfall tax.
Opponents of the administration
ideas today predicted they would have
more than q majority against any
thing higher than a 4 or per cent
surtax on corporation surpluses.
But administration leaders were
working hard to line up the commit
tee for something approaching the
original administration idea Of tax
averaging 331a per cent on incomes
withheld from dividend distribution.
Senator Dickinson, Republican. Of
Iowa took the Senate floor yesterday
to denounce the tax bill as it came
to the Senate from the House. He
said it was Crude and discriminatory"
and its philosophy vicious" Ulti-
mately, he said, it might mean that
the Government would have to take
control Of our economic system to the
extent necessary to assure the con-
tinuation of production and the con-
tinuation of employment"

TWO 0FLYERS DIE

BATON ROUGE. La, May 20.-A
crash of a speedy plane into wooded
swampland brought death today to
Harry P. Williams. millionaire aviator
and husband of Marguerite Clark, star
of the silent screen.
Johnny Red" Worthen. a veteran
pilot, rode to death with the 47-year-
old lumberman and aviation enthusiast
shortly after they took OF from the
Baton Rouge Airport for Patterson,
La, late last night.
Worthen was employed by Williams,
but the wealthy sportsman was COM
petent pilot and it was not known who
was at the controls when the plane
failed to gain altitude and slipped into
dive.
The men apparently met instant
death. Their badly broken bodies were
thrown clear of the plane and landed
about 20 feet apart. The plane did not
burn, but an exploding gasoline tank
scared a nearby tree.

Rouge mortuary and an inquest was
set. r. G. Broussard, airport manager
unable to explain the tragedy, said he
notified the Bureau of Aeronautics OF
the Department Of Commerce and ex-
pected an immediate investigation.
Mrs. williams was expected here to-
day to claim the body of her husband.
In 1918, when Miss Clark was at the
height of her film fame, he wooed and
won the petite red-haired actress, who
retired from the movies to devote her
self to her home and social interests in
New Orleans.
In 1926 williams met Jimmy Wedell,
transforming aviator, and began an
association which carried Wedell to
fame before he preceded his employer
