FULL COMMITTEE
GETS NORTON BILL
PaImisano Shifts RESPONSE
biIity for Hearings Because
of Primary Work.

Chairman Palmisano of the Judt
oiary Subcommittee OF the House DIS
rict Committee today washed his
hands of the Norton bill to modernize
md humanize juvenile court pro-
cedure and left its fate to the full
committee.
Instead of arranging public hear
.ngs. on the measure, Palmisano un-
cxpectedly returned it to the full
ommittee without recommendations.
He explained that Democratic
primary in Baltimore, in which his
district is located. would require most
of his time for the next several weeks.
The bill has languished in Palmi-
sano's subcommittee for several
months. Hearings were delayed. he
aid. pending a report from the Com
missioners The report was filed this
week but Palmisano explained he does
not now have the time to conduct
the hearings.
Full Committee Now Responsible.
Not wishing to jeopardize action on
the measure at this session of Con-
rress, Palmisano said he decided to
jet the full committee be responsible
for its future.
Chairman Norton of the full COM
mittee, who. incidentally, introduced
the bill "by request" will formally
report Palmisano's action to her group
r'hen it meets in regular session next
Wednesday. Indications are the bill
will either be referred to a special
subcommittee and subjected to i'm
mediate hearings or that the full COM
mittee itself may conduct the hear
ings. At any rate, committee men,
hers are said to favor hearings before
any action is taken on the bill.
Eager to Avoid Further Delay.
Mrs Norton is anxious to get the
measure on the House calendar with
out further delay. While she realizes
is chance of House consideration at
this session of Congress is slim, she
would like to get the bill out of COM
nittee and on the calendar in the
event Congress continues beyond the
present adjournment goal of June /.

TAX LITIGATION
PERILS FISCAL
PROGRAM

Administration fiscal plans to-
day we're threatened with COM
plete disruption through suits by
professors demanding refunds Of
processing taxes aggregating close
to 1000 million dollars.
Gravely concerned by the stag
gering effect repayments of these
revenues would have upon the ma
tons finances, the Justice Depart
ment, it became known, is laboring
desperately in preparation for a
showdown in the Supreme Court.
Deep Apprehension
Administration leaders admitted
deep apprehension. Refunds on
such a large scale would compel
drastic changes in the current
fiscal policies. Additional taxes
of some character would be newt
able, Federal financial experts con-
coded.
The refunds demanded are ex-
elusive of those taxes, aggregat-
ing 100000, which had been
impounded by Federal courts dur
ing trial of the Hoosic Mills case,
Following the decision outlawing
the processing levies in that test
case, the S1So.O0O,OO0 was re-
turned by the courts to the pro-
ceSsors.

there, appeals to the highest trib-

COTTON PRICES
TURN DOWN

NEW YORK, Sept. 3 G.N.S0.
Cotton prices were influenced by
better crop weather and profit
taking, and turned down IN late
forenoon dealings.
The trade and brokers with
continental and Far Eastern con-
nections bought the staple, while
spot houses, New Orleans and the
South sold.
Bearish factors, such as rain in
southwestern territory. and profit
taking which came into the mar
ket as a result of yesterdays
sharp gains offset low crop esti-
mates and Liverpool cables which
were rs points higher than the
due.
Orvis brothers announced an es-
innate of 11,516,000 bales of new
crop cotton, but this figure failed
to influence prices.
October was quoted at 1851 off
4, December 11.61 off 4, March
1859 off 4, May 11.73 off Z, and
July 11.72 off 8.

AUGUST MOTOR
OUTPUT SET AT
275,ODO UNITS

Automotive Daily News in Its
weekly estimate of production Of
automobiles and trucks in the
United States and Canada places
the total for the current week at
28,518 units, as against a revised
estimate of 54.219 for the week
ended August 30.
This brings the August output
to about 275.000 units, says Adm,
and the production to September
/, for the calendar year of 1885
to 3,321,29s.
Third Place Year Seen
On this basis, says Adm, In
order to meet the earlier esti'
mates of 100000 units for the
entire year Of 1886 the industry
must produce 1,278,7O2 units dur
ing the next four months. Last
year during the last four months
of the year the industry built
1881 units, ADM continues,
and given the same percentage
gain over last year during the
remainder of the year that has
obtained during the first seven
months the 100000 seems as
sured. If this proves true. 1886
will go down in the records as
the third best year in the history
Of the industry. being exceeded
only by 1925 with 4,60l,l41 and
1929 with 5,621,715.
Well Above Average
Taken from the standpoint Of
model years, Adm points out that
since the first of october last
year when production of the 1885
models was started the industry
has produced close to 100000
units. This. says Adm, is com
parable with some of the best
years in the history of the indus
try and is well above the yearly
average during the past 10 years
which would be about 100000
annually.
New passenger car registrations
during July reached a total Of
357,4 units. This is the third
best record for July in the his
tory of the industry, being ex-
ceeded only by July. 1926, with
360,70O and July, 1929. with 432,'
500.
