new YORK TESTS
B0RAH STRENGTH
Primary Today Also Will
Afford Battle Ground for
Socialist Fight.
BY the Associated Press.


ALBANY, N. Y, April 2.-The New
York State primary election today
afforded the FIRST test of strength In
Senator William E. Borah's candidacy
for the Republican presidential nomi-
nation.
Second in interest was a State
wide contest between the Old Guard
and Norman Thomas wings for con-
troll of the Socialist party.
President Roosevelt's denomination
was not an issue in the Democratic
primary, although there were a few
local factional contests over candi-
dates for delegates to the national
convention.
Borah forces, led by w. Kingsland
Macy, Representative Hamilton Fish
and William ziegler, jr., entered
pledged candidates for delegates to the
National Republican Convention in
nine of the 43 congressional districts.
They opposed candidates of the Re-
publican "Old Guard" dominated by
National Committeeman Charles D.
Hilles, who wants to send an unin-
structed delegation to the convention
in Cleveland.

WAR PROFIT TAX
PLANS SURVEYED
Substitute for Levy on All
Over $4,000 Would Hit
"Abn0rmaI" Gains.

ny the Associated Press.
A modified proposal for taking the
profits out Of war was presented to the
Senate Finance Committee today as a
substitute for the Munitions Commit
tees drastic plan to levy a SO per cent
tax on all wartime profits over $40 900
o year..
The committee gathered to de-
termine whether it wanted to approve
the Munitions Committee program or
draft the substitute designed to tax
only excess war profits.
This substitute, which has been dis
cussed by members of a subcommittee.
would levy the 90 per cent tax upon
all abnormal war profits, instead of
upon all income above $4,000 a year.
The tax base for an individual in
come taxpayer would be the average
income he received during the three
years prior to war. All income above
that figure, during the war years,
would be taxed SO per cent.
Under the Munitions Committee
plan, SO per cent of all individual in
come above $4,000 year would be
taken away regardless of what the tax
payers normal income was during
peace time.
Senator Connally, Democrat, Of
Texas, chairman of the subcommittee
which has been considering the Mu-
nitions Committee bill, asked for the
meeting of the full committee to de-
termine its views.
Chairman Nye, Of the Munitions
Committee, was asked to appear to ex-
plain his plan. John T. Flynn, who
drafted the more drastic program, and
other experts also were called.
While the Finance Committee con-
sidered the plan for taking profits out
Of war, the Munitions Committee was
drafting program for taking the
profits out of preparation for war.
Nye said the committee would meet
Monday to complete its report to the
Senate on its two-year inquiry into
the activities of munitions makers.
Chief recommendation of the commit
tee will be for naturalization of part
OF the munitions industry.
A majority of the committee mem
bers favor naturalization of naval
shipbuilding, gun and ammunition
manufacture, and the production Of
armor plate and gas.

SPORT SLAN1S

Jack Britton, the former world welterweight oh m pion now in charge of the Catholic boys box ing activities in New York, is mighty proud of the progress his son, Bob Breslin, is making in the amateur boxing ranks. The 17-year- old youngster, already the size of his famous daddy when he was champion, has been a sensation in amateur circles.
 Bob attends the University of Florida at Gainesville, and as member of the boxing team stands an excellent chance of winning a berth on the American Olympic team
 The youngster boasts an impress sive record of 34 victories with only two decisions of the hairline variety to mar his slate He shows the fine hand of his fathers tutoring in his boxing A fast, clever boxer, he packs a snappy punch in both hands. There is no fiddling around once he goes into action. He moves with the deftness of a finished professional boxer.
 Career Mapped Out
 Bob has aspirations to become a champion in the pro ranks but is saving them until he has completed his college work. Then, if he fails to show definite promise of being of championship caliber, he will switch without delay to some other business, possibly that of writing about sports.
 There have been a number of cases of late where sons of ring warriors of another generation have taken up the game that brought a measure of fame to their fathers Billy Papke's son, Billy, Jr., had a
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-04-28

fling at boxing under the guidance of old Billy. Mike Gibbons son, Billy, is making place for himself as one of the leading middleweights in the present crop. He showed much of his fathers cleverness in piling up string of more than 50 victories. Old Mike is handling his sons ring fortunes and doing a neat job of picking spots for the youth.
 The younger Gibbons took to the game without the urging of his father, but once the boy showed interest Mike was quick to take him in hand. The old Phantom" is proud of his boys progress but insists that the lad will continue to seek fame in the ring oniy 50 long as he is not forced to absorb much punishment. Above all, Mike wants no son of his to wind up on his heels, talking to himself-all the money he could possibly earn in the boxing racket would not compensate him for a nu.nbed brain.
 Old Bob Fitzsimmons had great hopes for his son, Bob, Jr., and spent many hours teaching the husky youngster the fine points Of the game. The youth learned the defensive side extremely well and developed into one of the cleverest boxers in the heavyweight ranks but he lacked the one thing that made his father one of the greatest fighters of all time - a killing punch.
 Distaff Disapproval
 While the fighting fathers in most cases view the progress of their sons in the ring game with pardonable pride it is extremely doubtful if their wives share their enthusiasm. Mrs. Jimmy Braddock is one who does not look with favor on pugilistic aspirations in her sons.
 Mrs. Braddock willingly admits that world of comforts and secur- ity have come along with her hus- bands winning the heavyweight title from Max Baer, but they were gained at some cost. Before Jimmy became champion her two little boys were pair of well behaved, normal little gentlemen. But since daddy came home with the crown they have been spoiled and pam pered by the public That would have been bad enough, but it didn't stop there. On the slightest provo eating the little fellows will give a practical demonstration of how their father beat Mae Baer, or what he will do to Joe Louis. They have the idea that they can Tick" the world, just as their daddy did, and are ever willing to take on a challenger. One champion fighter in the family is enough for Mrs. Braddock-she would like to have her two little gentlemen" back.

Each will In time the Great World face
And must unaided fnd his place.
Old Mother Nature,

And must unaided f1nd his place,
old Mother Nature.
TINE eight children Of Reddy Fox
and Mrs. Reddy were out In
the Great World. They had
u left home, never to come back.
Each had started out to make
place for himself or herself. Now
among eight children no two are
alike. It was just so with these young
Foxes. The first to 60 was the Bold
One. He had proved himself to oe
smart as we'll as bold. He had been
smart enough not to allow his natu-
raj boldness wholly to rule him. The
result was that he had at last estao-
lished himself in a home Of his own,
far away from the Old Pasture.
The Headstrong One was in trouble
almost from the time he left nome.
You know, headstrong people are very
likely to get into trouble. Being
headstrong. this young Fox did not
learn from experience. One lesson
was seldom enough for him. Like his
brother, the Bold One, he also met
young Porcupine, and he also was
foolish enough to try to make the
young Porcupine get out of the path
OF course, you know what happened.
He got some quills in one of his paws.
They hurt. Yes, indeed, they hurt
But the young Fox. being headstrong,
instead of wisely retreating, lost his
temper and jumped on the young
Porcupine. The result was quite
dreadful Yes, indeed, the result was
quite dreadful He got some Of those
quills in his mouth and there was
no way of getting them out. He
couldn't eat, and so he came to a
sad end You know, no one can live
without eating.
The one who was called the Bully
had always delighted in bullying his
brothers and sisters, and when he
went out into the Great World he
took that same bullying habit with
him. He tried to bully all those whom
he met, unless they happened to be
too big. He was altogether too ready
to Jump on those smaller than him
self. He liked to tease and torment
others. It was too bad. Yes sir, 1t
was too bad. You see, he had not
been long out in the Great World
when he met one of the Poison Peo-
pie. It was one of the children of
Buzztail the Rattlesnake. Now the
Bully previously had met and killed
o couple of small, harmless Snakes.
This young Snake ratified a warn
ing, as is the custom of Rattlesnakes
The Bully paid no attention to him
He danced around the half-grown
young Rattlesnake and made little
jumps at him without actually jump
ing on him. You see, he was bullying

24-HOUR CAR MARK
Briton Hurls Car Over Salt
Flats for Full Day at 149
Miles an Hour.
BY the Associated Press.

BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, Utah,
July 13-Capt. George Eyston, Eng
lish racin gdriver, smashed his "a
hour world land speed record today
with an unofdcial average OF 1915
miles an hour.
The tall, steel-nerved Briton, alter
mating at the wheel Of Speed of the
Winds with a fellow countryman,
Bert Denly, sent the l2-cylinder car
roaring over $3.50 miles of glistening
white salt in the day and night grind.
The 24-hour run completed the first
half of a projected 4S-hour grind in
quest of q greater speed than the
1O9. 9.54-mile-an-hour record four Eu-
ropean drivers established several
years ago
Eyston was jubilant as the record
tumbled. He stopped at the pits for
oil and gasoline and roared away again
on the second half of the journey.
Earlier today he had exceeded his
own 3,000-mile mark.
The doughty Briton was timed at
149.0 .054 miles an hour for 5000 miles.
His old record for 5000 miles-140.75-
was set last September over the same
course.
The bronzed Briton started pro-
jected 48-hour run here on the worlds
fastest motor speedway at 7:29 am,
Pacific standard time, yesterday.
He was shooting principally at his
| nu,p oA.ho,ir record Of 40 50 miles ner

leave home as soon as some of his
brothers, but when he did 60 out into
the Great World he carried with him
the lessons he had learned by being
obedient. So it came about that the
Obedient One, like his brother the
Bold One. finally found a place for
a home of his own.
One of those young Foxes was
known as the Slow One. From the
time he had first poked his head out
side the house In the Old Pasture he
had been slow. His mother said he
was lazy. He was slow In everything.
He was slow in his movements. He
was slow in obeying. He was slow in
getting his fair share of food. When
he first went hunting he often was too
slow to catch Mouse that one of his
brothers or sisters would have caught
without any trouble. The Slow One
had been out in the Great World less
than week when he was caught by
Yowler the Bobcat.

VI vation Of the vast throng of
outdoor folks, we begin to
appreciate a little more the services
they have rendered and the needs Of
many We have met, though they have
received little or no praise for their
worthwhile efforts. This is true of
the bird cherry, modest, slender tree
with a round head and height of 20
to 40 feet The range Of this tree is
from Newfoundland to Georgia, west
to the Rocky Mountains.
She clothes the lonely ravines or
goes at once to the burned-over areas
where some careless person has left a
fire or tossed q match. On rocky hill
sides whose top soil needs holding in
place, in fence corners, and other likely
places the cheerful little tree neighbor
does her bit of her own accord. For
esters will tell you that bird cherry
trees make fine nurses for the SLOW
growing hardwoods. By the time the
slower-growing trees are well along
and do not need protection from the
wind, their nurses" will have passed
on to their reward.
There is partnership between the
birds and the trees for transportation.
The white flowers of the bird cherry
are found in clusters on long stems.
There are not many Of them and so
naturally not such a heavy crop Of
fruit. The leaves are slender and
pointed, finely saw-toothed along the
edges. They are happy looking, for
they shine and dance in the breeze.
You will find the bark on the trunk
broken into thin. curling, horizontal
plates. This is one cue for Winter
Identification, as well as the red twigs
The buds are very small, brown and
sharp. You find them early In the
Spring, sometimes in clusters.

Snake did not try to get away from
him had no effect whatever. The
Bully didn't give it a thought.
At last he landed right in front Of
the young Snake The latter's head
sdarted forward. The young Fox felt
a quick sharp pain in one leg. He
backed away hastily. Almost at once
he began to feel very, very sick. He
no longer thought of bullying that
Snake. He crawled away. Never again
would he bully any one. He had
learned a lesson, but 1t was too late.
You see, the Bully went to sleep and
didn't wake up.

Bird Cherry

When the flowers are in bloom there
is a gentle hum above them. These
nectar Slippers and the trees also have
fine partnership. After the feast OF
nectar is over, the fruit begins to de-

the tiny green cherries and later the
clear ruby fruit, a beautiful contrast
against the green leaves.
The second group Of co-operators
with the tree now arrives, en- masse.
Birds may not know that the fruit is
