New Tax Bill Prepared
for Fast Senate Action

2. Final settlement of the ques-
ton of exemptions for debt-ridden
corporations, which were not ex-
pected to get special relief despite
demands of several committee men,
bers, and for railroads in the process
of reorganization, which were also
believed unlikely to get any sub
stantial exemptions.
3. Final action on the proposal of
Senator Robert M. La Toilette
prog. Wis., to increase surtax rates
on individual incomes in the middle
bracket. Defeat for this plan was
considered almost certain if La
Toilette offers il in committee.
Chairman PAT Harrison 3D., Miss.)
said that he believed the bill would
be passed by the Senate without
any great delay. A survey indicate q
that his statement was representa-
tive of opinion among both Demo-
cratic and Republican leaders,
although the Republicans will fire q
resounding volley at the measure
in an attempt to use it as campaign
material.

ing vlndlctlve conception OF
"Americanisrn.
Authorities promised to file MUIR
der charges against nine of the 16
today. They took part, police said,
in the execution of Charles A.
Poole, 80, WPA worker who had
been charged and convicted by the
Legion of beating his wife. He was
stood up at the edge Of a roadside
ditch and shot.
Police today began an investiga-
ton of relatives and friends of the
Is men, believing they would not
only find more members of the Sc
cret, night-riding society but victims
of its moral crusade. Detectives be-
lieved nearly all its past victims had
been tied to trees in lonely woods
and logged.
Most of the victims, police be-
lieved, were charged with unfaith-
fulness to wives, of seducing girls,
ard other moral lapses. Though the
literature of the Legion described it
as anti-Jewish, anti Catholic, and
anti Communist, it was not believed
that it had taken direct action any
individual of those groups for his
religious or political beliefs alone.
Poole Innocent of Charges
Police believed the victims of the
legion had been taken largely from
among relatives and acquaintance
of its members. He and his investi-
gators already had determined that
Poole was innocent of the charge for
which the legion tried and executed
him. His wife, who gave birth to a
son the day after he was slain, said
he never had beaten her. Authori-
ties of Herman Keiffer Hospitah
where she was confined, said her
body had shown no bruises or other
indications of violence.
The Is men held, ranging in age
from Is to so, all factory workers,
and all seemingly more proud than
afraid, maintained close-lipped
silence. Police indicated that death
was the groups penalty for mem
bers who told it's secrets, and that
the men held were afraid of the
vengeance of others still at large.
He believed that the legion had so
members, and he ordered the arrest
of the other "A.
Urban Lipps. 80, one of the men
held, was the most communicative.
He admitted having taken part in
Poole's execution, but said he had
participated in no other Jobs" He
had been member for six months,
he said. and he understood that the
legion had taken care" of num-
Der of rats"

May 23.-Three top-notch Socialists
today called for party members to

Speaking to several thousand
wildly cheering delegates at the

w. Hoan, Milwaukee mayor, and
Leo Krzycki-warned their com

Krzycki, labor leader and Socialist
National Chairman, declared that
he is mot among labor leaders who

He challenged the inquiry group to
arrest him and bring him before
the full house for trial, and reiter-
ated that he would rot In JAIL
before he would appear voluntarily
for further questioning.
His latest challenge to the Houses
investigatory powers was to advise
five officers of 0ld-Age Revolving
Pensions, Ltd, not to answer
subpenas. Committee members i'm
mediately examined the subpenas to
determine if they were legally
sound.
Rep. C. Jasper Bell, committee
chairman. said he favored asking
the full House to cite Townsend for
contempt and to take similar action
against the others If they refused to
testify.
He failed to carry through, how
ever, on his announced intention
TO take the contempt citation before
the House at yesterdays session.
The delay, 1t was learned, involved
a question of procedure.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Ad-

new corporation tax bill into final
shape today. They were ready to

Only few rough edges remained
to be smoothed by the Senate

some unexpected development.
These included:
/. Completion of definite Treas

bill would produce considerably

$500 100000 in the revised corporate

NEW PAVING TO BE PUT
OVER OLD SURFACE
Engineer Says Tearing Up Key
stone-av Endangers Water Main

To avoid taking a change on
flooding the neighborhood, the
Works Board has decided the new
pavement on Keystone-av from 30th
to 38th-sts can go on right over the
old.
This decision was reached yeSter-
day after City Engineer Henry B.
Steeg told board members that
WPA workers, in tearing up the old
concrete surfaceh were endanger-
ing an indianapolis Water Co. feed
er main.
The workers had been using a
large hammer to break the pave
ment. They had taken out 300 feet
that way. Then it was found that
battering on the street was Earring
the main.
If it had been broke nand the
area inundated, the city would have
been held responsible, Mr.. Steeg
said.

PARIS. May 23.-European war
industries never have been buster
Armies never have been bigger
since 1918. Never in the II years
of comparative peace since Ver-
sailles has tension been tighter.
Yet, on the basis of authorita
tive opinion in European capitals ii
seems safe to say that war is most
unlikely this year and perhaps next
year.
Diplomats never have talked more
hopefully of the possibilities for
consolidation of peace. Optimists
argue that Germany will not be
fully ready for war for five years
and that peace is unlikely to be
broken before Germany is ready.
This is written after flight to-
day in a German three motored
airplane over French battleflelds;
after criSs- crossing the European
political checker board on which
diplomats play gigantic game
with armies of millions of men;
after talks with men of all opinion.
There was no rumbling of on
coming war, nobody who seemed
to want war
Premier MuSsolini's crushing of
the Ethiopian empire has increased
respect for Italy's fighting machine.
At the same time it has increased
the fears of smaller nations.
Within two weeks France will see
power passed over to the so-called
social revoluntionaries of the Popu-
lar Front. Then France must either
adopt provocative attitudes toward
the Fascist dictators, MusSolini and
Adolf Miller, or the Socialists must
bury their creeds SO that France
may continue quietly its traditional
policy of bottling up Germany.
If Great Britain can arrange it's
affairs with Italy while France is
marking time and waiting for the
new government to come in, one of
the most dangerous corners in
Europe will have been turned.
Those who know Leon BLUM, So
cialist leader and prospective French
premier, Insist that he never will
risk war to enforce Socialist dogma.
