HOPE TO DROP
PROCESSING
TAX PLAN
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

House consideration of new
processing taxes may be aban-
doned, Representative Bankhead
Of Alabama, Democratic House
leader, announced today as Treas
ury figures showed soaring tax
receipts.
The declaration was regarded
as significant because Mr.. Bank
head has consistently defended
processing taxes to finance farm
relief costs.
While Treasury figures on
March IS tax collections were
not complete. there was a posi-
bility that first quarter receipts
would run 100000 to $3O,OOO,-
600 above estimates.
The possibility Of q complete
shift of the cost Of the new $780,
900, 900 farm program to industry
has been indicated by discussions
of House members for several
days.
Leaders in the movement to
scrap processing taxes maintain
that the 100000, 900 undiStrib'
uted corporation surplus program
and "windfalp" taxes will meet
the Presidents financial demands
on Congress.
While Republican members OF
the ways and means committee
openly question whether the undis.
tributed earnings tax will produce
$40 million doNarS a year, Demo
cratic members insist that it will,
The ways and Means tax sub,
committee continued its efforts to
meet many problems arising in
connection with the undistributed
surplus tax. Chairman Hill dis
closed that unexpected complica-
tions have arisen.
There still remained the posi-
bility that the program might have
to be revised to prevent hardShipS
to many corporations and stock
holders and thus force the com,
mittee to consider other tax levieS.

Rainstorm Is Held
Cause of Worst
Flood Since 1889

A torrential rainstorm that
started yesterday is the cause Of
the floods now sweeping Maryland
and Virginia and threatening the
District tomorrow, the Division Of
Rivers and Floods of the Weather
Bureau explained today.
The ice which jammed the
rivers a few weeks ago has gone
out entirely, but some ice and
snow remained in the mountains,
and is now being melted and add
ing to the terrific amount Of run
off water which is making the
flood conditions.
More than five inches of rain
has fallen since the storm started
the Weather Bureau observers re-
ported, and more is falling today,
bringing about a flood condition
more serious than that of 1889,
the worst flood in all history.

Sees Frances Chicken

To the Editor OF the Times:
France now knows what the

"Sweet Marianne" is sitting

When Italy needed Frances
support to have a free hand in
conducting a punitive colonial
war" against an obStreperous
Ethiopia, Marianne merely piled
her lipstick and cast sidelong
glances at John Bull and finally
ended by sitting on his lap.
But the chickens came home to

Italy, which, since Halle Selassie
took the Ethiopian throne
watched Ethiopian warriors raid
it's colonies some so times, saw
it's citizens residing in Ethiopia
abused and mistreated, its diplo

insulted and even shot at, and

SEVERAL DEAD
IN EXPLOSION

PITTSBURGH, March 1S G.N.
S.).-Several persons were feared
dead in a terrific explosion and
fire that demolished at least one
factory building and a row of II
houses in Etna early today.
Occupants of the houses were
trapped by 6 to 10 feet of water as
they sought to flee when flames
spread from the Etna Forge and
Bolt Company and engulfed their
homes. Many other industrial
plants were said to be in the path
of the flames.
Early reports were that chemi-
Gals in the plant exploded.

Praises Tenth Precinct
For Humane Actions
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
Careful analysis Of crime con-
ditionS shows that humaneness
will awaken a response to moral
stimulus. more than the hitherto
unsuccessfully applied doctrine
that discipline means brutal force
coupled with aggreSSivity.
Nowhere is this situation more
clearly proving itself, than in the
solution of criminal problems and
minor offenses with which local
policemen are being confronted.
The writer, having visited the
Tenth Precinct on an interesting
tour of investigation" had the
occasion to come in contact with
officials, not in an official capac-
ity. but as an investigator who
seeks information without police
officials being aware Of his mis-
sion"
I was more than pleased to no.
tice the spirit Of cooperation and
the desire on the part of officers
in this station to put delinquentS
back on the road to moral IRE
covery."
I can imagine nothing more alb
Surd, than the theory that intim-
idating a man brings results in
suppressing crimes. Even If such
were the case, if to accomplish
this, men had to be broken not
only physically, mentally and spir-
itually-what good would they be
to society? Lacking will power and
determination, their chances for
personal improvement would more
likely result in failure than sue
cess!

Demands Vigorous Effort
He appealed for "a vigorous ef-
fort on q national scale" to ab-
sorb the unemployed "by volun-
tary, concerted action of private
industry" adding:
Insofar rs their efforts are
successful, the cost to the Fed
eral Government of caring for
the destitute unemployed will
be Iessened, and, If the employ.
ment gains are substantial
enough, no additional apprOpria-
ton BY the next Congress for
the fiscal year 1887 will be nee
essary.
"The ultimate cost Of the Fed
eral works program will thus
be determined by private enter
prise. Federal assistance which
arose as a result Of industrial
Unemployment can be termi-
mated IL industry itself removes
the underlying condition. Should
industry comparatively achieve
the goal of unemployment, the
appropriation Of $1,5OO,OOO,O 900,
together with the unexpended
balances Of previous apprOpria-
tiOnS, will suffice to carry the
Federal works program through
the fiscal year 1887.
DEPENDS ON BUSINESS
"OnIy If industry fails to re-
duce substantially the number
Of those now out Of work will
another appropriation and fur
ther plans and policies be neces-
Sary"
The President estimated that
approximately 100000 families
are still in need Of some form
of public aSsistance-3,800 ,00C
families and unattached persons
on the works program and /,
100000 families on local and
State relief rolls.
Strikes at Critics
During the current fiscal year
Mr.. Roosevelt said, approximately
$500 million dollars actually will
be paid out Of the Treasury
for relief.
An appropriation of 1000 mil
lion dollars for next year would
approximate the current expendi
lures, he pointed out, because
more than 1000 millions will be
carried over into next year anc
approximately 900 million dollars
is provided in the normal budget
for the CCC and various public
works.
The President struck back at
critics of Federal relief who have
contended that Government re
lief activities have encouraged
States, counties and municipali'
ties to Shirk their duties in the
relief field.
The President said it was unfair
to insist that the States and
municipalities now bear a greatly
increased proportion of relief costs
He pointed out that constitutional
limitations in some States stood in
the way, and also that most of the
counties and municipalities are
only just emerging from tax de
linquency difficulties. He said:
'Let us further remember that
by far the largest part Of local
taxes is levied on real estate.
To increase this form of tax
burden on the small property
owners Of the nation would be
unjuStified :"

then, faces the responsibility Of

Movie Tale of

Exclusive Story" a dramatic
story which sent its author, Martin
Mooney, to Jail because he refused
to reveal the sources of his start

comes to the Loew's Fox screen on
Friday.
1t is a thrilling story dealing
with a new menace, and in Fran
chot Tone and Madge Evans, this
M-G-M film introduces a new ro-

To Play at

Wayne King, one of Amer

ner Brothers Earle Theater
for one week starting Friday,
February 81. The booking of
his popular organization,
headed by Americas Waltz
King" is another scoop for
the Earle Theater, since King
has never played a stage en-
gagement in Washington be-
fore.
The local engagement of this
band follows three years OF
negotiations by John j. Payette,
Warner Bros general zone man
ager for the Washington territory.
This is the first season that King
could be persuaded to leave his
broadcaSting and hotel activities
in Chicago for a stage appearance.
Wayne King has scaled the
heights to musical greatness by
virtue of his distinctive dance pro.
grams and radio broadcaStS. Not
only does his orchestra occupy a
topmoSt niche in the hearts of the
nations music lovers, but he him.
self is a brilliant saxophoniSt, &C
claimed by critics as possessing
the unique ability of practically
making his instrument talk.
King also occupies a firm posi-
ton in the realms of musical COM
poSerS and arrangerS. But his
success was not gained without
years Of hard work. His programs
present a touch of originality truly
exemplary Of the man himself.
Upon making his debut as the
leader of his own orchestra, King
was confronted with the problem
OF presenting the type of music
that was in favor at the time.
The booking of Wayne King for
the Earle adds another name to
the list of famous bands presented
first at this theater, including
Eddy Duchin, Guy Lombardo,
Ozzie Nelson, Hal Kemp and
