DUE
TO RESTORE
D. {. FUND
to Rewrite
House Bill Cutting
Budget Figures
Rx FRANK NJ. SMITH

District officials and citizens
will get a full and sympathetic
hearing on the 1887 appropriation
bill, and it will be rewritten in
the Senate to conform as nearly
as possible to the desires of the
District commissioners, it was
learned authoritatively today.
Although Senator Elmer Thomas
Cd of Oklahoma, chairman Of
the Senate District subcommittee,
declined to comment on the House
bill until it is presented to him
for official action, it was pointed
out that his previous utteranceS
and action promise q much better
bill.
In reference to the slash in the
Federal contribution from $5, TOO
600, as suggested by the Budget
Bureau. to $2,700,000, attention
was called to the fact that the
Senate inserted in the last two
bills a contribution of $9,700, 1000.
More Funds Obtained
Despite the fact that the Sen
ate receded in these two instances
to the House figure of $5,700,000
under a House threat to kill the
bills, this recession was said to
have obtained more equitable ap-
preparations for needed projects.
Senator Royal S. Copeland, CD
of New York, Staunch friend of
the District and father of the
character education program in
the schools, said:
'I am unhappy over the bill.
I am sorry about the reduction
in the Federal contribution.

$4,000 in His Care,
Army Captain Takes
No Chances on Police

Memories of the time in Denver
when robbers dressed in police uni
forms held up a truck hauling
money from the United States
Mint led Capt. j. H. Judd of the
Twelfth Infantry at Fort Wash
ington, to take no chances yester-
day when he was stopped for speed
ing while carrying a $4,000 pay
roll from Washington to the army
post.
Captain Judd, four guards. and
his chauffeur, Pvt. Everett A.
Parker, were passing st. Eliza
beth's Hospital when Motorcycle
Policeman L. E. Skies pulled
abreast of the car and attempted
to arrest Parker for speeding.
Almost before Skies knew what
had happened he found himself
covered by four guns. At gun
point he wrote out the ticket for
Parker'S appearance in court to
answer a charge of driving SO
miles an hour in 22-mile zone.
In Traffic Court today, Judge
John p. Mcmahon heard Skies
story and heard Parker and Cap
tain Judd both deny the speeding
charge, the latter declaring the
car was being driven about "a
miles an hour. The charge was
dismissed.

No Mention of Hoffman
Colonel Lindbergh's letter, it is
said, contains no mention Of Gov

Extolling the "brilliance" and

Asked on SurpIuses
Of Corporations
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

The Treasury today proposed a
graduated tax, with a tentative
scale from q to 40 per cent, on
undistributed profits of corpora
tions to carry out President Roose-
velt's new tax program.
The plan was laid before o
House Ways and Means subcom-
mittee by Herman Oliphant, gen.
eral counsel of the Treasury; Guy
r. Helvering, Collector of Inter
nal Revenue, and Treasury tax
experts.
Some Exemptions Likely
The tentative Treasury plan
provided for no exemptions, but
AChairman Hill CD Of Washing
ton, Of the subcommittee, said
that it was likely that banks, fidu-
ciary corporations and insurance
companies would be exempted.
Hill explained:
Repeal Of all existing cOrpO-
ration taxes and graduation Of
a tax on undiStributed net
profits of corporations to aver
age S3 1-3 per cent was estimated
to yield, on the basis of undiS-
tributed profits for 1886, $780,
100000"
eve would lose by repeating
existing taxes an amount which,
deducted from the $1,6OO, 900,
would leave q net increase of
$500, ,OOO,O O,OOO."
Hill said that a graduation of
27 to 40 per cent was suggested to
reach the average of 80 1-3 per-
cent.
The Treasury experts, Hill said,
contended that the plan would
not make it impossible for cor
porationS to maintain reserves
even though no exemption was
provided.
