bill, which approaches closer to ad-
ministration plans than the Senate's
would tax corporation net income on
a graduated scale up to 421a per cent,
depending on how much of the income
was not distributed.
Senate leaders were confident that
the big relief-def1ciency bill, carry
ing 81, ,425 900, 900 to continue the jobs
program next fiscal year, would 60
through by tonight. The biggest dis
pute connected with the bill-the
struggle over Passamaquoddy tidal
power project in Maine and the
Florida ship canal-had been set
tied.
Late Saturday, the Senate voted to
authorize President Roosevelt to con-
tinue the huge canal with an allot-
ment of S1Oo00,000 if an engineers
survey approved such action. But
a similar move in behalf Of the
Maine project. which like the canal
already has been started with re-
lief funds, was voted down.
An amendment making s30o,000,-
900 available for new public works
program under Secretary Ickes won
Senate approval. 1t provides for
grants to local agencies, which would
bear a share of the cost. The grants
would range up to 80 per cent on
projects costing more than 100000
and Is per cent on smaller ones.
La Guardia Assails Figure.
The 30 per cent maximum for larger
undertakings drew fire today from
Mayor La Guardia of New York. presi-
dent of the United States Conference
of Mayors. He issued a statement
saying:
The provision of the Senate def
cheney bill reducing the amount of
P. w. A. grants from As to 80 per cent
is nothing but sham and bluff It
is designed solely to ruin the whole
P. w. A. employment program. since
very few major cities in the United
States having approved projects now
pending can participate in the program
on 80 per cent basis.
Further. these cities are the ones
bearing the brunt of the unemploy-
ment burden. The Senate Appropria-
tions Committee does not seem to
realize that the United States Treas
ury is saved hundreds of millions Of
dollars on a program In which the
cities are willing and legally able to
put up 55 per cent Of the cost-which
if not done. the Treasury will have to
pay all of the cost under the W. P. A.
This is shortsightedness to the nth
degree. However, the responsibility for
not accepting our SIS per cent of the
share in the cost of employing people
can fall upon the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee, where it rightfully
belongs"

LUCIANO AIDE
PLEADS GUILTY
Jack EIIensteln IS Fourth
One of Nine on Trial to
Enter Such a Plea.
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June Jack Ellen
stein, known in the underworld as Jack
Eller. one of the nine men on trial with
Charles Lucky" Luciano on charges of
compulsory prostitution, pleaded guilty
today.
He was the fourth to enter such a
plea. The others, Peter Balitzer. alias
Pete Harris; AL Weiner and David
Marcus, pleaded guilty when the trial
started May IL.
Eller was described by Special
Rackets Prosecutor Thomas E. Dewey
as one of the men who booked women
for the chain of disorderly houses in
the metropolis. Luciano, the State
contends, headed a syndicate which
collected sl2,000,000 year from the
racket.
Eller pleaded on advice of his counsel,
Maurice F. Cantor, after Supreme
Court Justice Philip j. McCook listened
to a two-hour argument by defense
counsel and denied motions to dismiss
the indictment.
The lawyers attacked the constitu-
tionality Of the law under which the
men were indicted
Caesar B. F. Barra. counsel to David
Betillo, reputed chief henchman of
Luciano. moved to dismiss the g.
count indictment on the ground that
the conspiracy statute, passed by the
Legislature last Winter, gives the
prosecution the right to convict on
hearsay evidence.
He also argued that the court could
legally impose sentence only on one
count of the indictment, regardless of
how many counts Of guilty might be
returned.

MATTER OF MAINTENANCE
NOT INCLUDED; TO BE
MADE READY FOR COMING
WINTER SEASON

Placing the Key West golf
course in playable condition by
the beginning of the coming tour
list season will be one of the pro-
jects to be undertaken by the
WPA, said Director Herbert FIR.
Reck this morning.
The traps VII be repaired and
other matters which are necessary
to bring the course up to standard
will be done, said the director,
but the matter of maintenance by
the WPA is positively not to be
considered.
Sometime ago the director an
nounced that funds were running
low and maintenance of this part
of the c.ty's holdings would have
to be returned to the city for
maintenance in a very brief time.
Tuesday Director Reck, Engi-
neer Roy Goodman, Robert Spots
wood, DIR. Armando Cobo, men,
Der of city council and Chairman
of the golf course committee,
Charles H. Ketchum, and others
went out to the links for an idea
of just what is needed to put the
course in perfect condition for the
tourist season.
Director Reck said this morn
ing that he had, in company with
Engineer Goodman and Mr.. Spots
wood, made a careful inspection
Of the golf course for the purpose
of determining just what is need
ed to put the links in condition,
and the needed work will be done
at the earliest moment possible.

FIRE CHEF BAKER ADDRESS
ES CITY COUNCIL ON SUB
JECT; OTHER MATTERS DIS
GUESSED LAST NIGHT

The matter of Duval street be-
ing torn up while the sewer pipe
is being put down, was brought to
the attention of the City Council
at its regular meeting last night
by Fire Chief Harry Baker, who
recommended that some steps be
taken whereby the fire apparatus
may be afforded a clear road to
some extent in responding to
alarms.
The fire chief said that the ex-
listing condition furnished a very
serious hazard, and stated that the
department would be seriously
handicapped in responding in the
event of an alarm being sent in
from that section.

er and the fire committee confer
with the engineer in charge of the
sewer work in an endeavor to
have the situation remedied if pos
sible.

by Councilman William Freeman
in place of President Jim Roberts,
who is acting mayor during the
absence of the mayor from the
city.

Will Lewis, whom it was shown
has twenty years service with the
city as an employee of the Board
of Public Works, was brought be-
fore the meeting. A letter was
read from City Attorney w. Cur
ry Harris who gave his opinion in
the matter, stating that Mr.. Lew
is was entitled to a pension of
fifty percent of his salary. ON a
monthly basis. according to the
law covering the matter.
A letter was read from Miss
Moll:e M. Parker in which she of
fered to donate a large number of
plants to the city in connection
with the Identification program,
and a vote of thanks was rendered

ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS
Happenings That Affect the Dinner Pals, Dividend
Checks and Tax Bills of Every Individual; Ma
tiOnal and International Problems Insep-
arabic From Local Welfare

At least one American indus
try has grown from childhood to
maturity during the depression
commercial air transport. An in
teresting survey of this industry
which is assuming increasing eco,
nomic significance, appears in a
recent issue Of the United States
News.
At the present time, air pas
senger traffic in this country is
about six times as large as it was
in 1929, and the volume has
doubled in the last two years
Where less than 100000 passen.
gers rode the airway in 1884, al
most 747,000 left terra firma in
1885. Estimates say that about
100000 people will board trans.
ports this year. In 1926, when
passenger transport was in
augurated on a few scattered
lines, only $500 people bought
tickets.
Startling fact is that while
there are established air systems
in all modern countries, American
airlines carry more passengers
than are carried in all the rest OF
the world combined, along with
two-thirds of the world, total oil
air-borne mail and express.
AS everyone knows, air trans
portation has grown cheaper
through the years-early rates
were virtually prohibitive. 1t has
likewise grown more comfortable
due to developments in sound
proofing cabins, cutting motor vi
bration, making planes more
stable in wind currents, etc
Speeds have been markedly in
creased-modern carriers average
200 miles an hour, where best
lines in 1880 averaged little more
than 100. And travel has been
made safer-last year, there was
but one passenger fatality fen
every 24,000,0O0 passenger-miles
covered.
According to the Department OF
Commerce, nearly half the popula'
ton of the country is now served
by air-lines, and there are los
companies in operation with routes
totaling little over $4,000 miles
This coverage Is of course not
comparable to that offered by
railroads and buses, but is grad
ually increasing.
In spite of the industry's great
ly increased volume of. business
all has not been CHEEKY in the
matter of making profits. Most
air-lines live on mail contracts
can't pay expenses on passenger
business. Thus, the Governments
cancellation of all mail contracts
! two years ago hit operators hard
The contracts have been resumed
but in many cases the rates paid
for mail carrying have been
! slashed.
Furthermore, the upkeep of air.
planes is terrifically expensive
Motors have a relatively short
life, as they must be in alb
solutelv perfect condition to re-
ceive the Department of Com.
