a Uniontown morgue to claim the

Dennis Mulligan, Department Of
Commerce investigator, said q public
hearing probably would be held in
Uniontown in a day or two with a
more extensive inquiry in Pittsburgh
later.
He declared:

The three survivors are in the
Uniontown Hospital. Doctors said all
had good chances to recover. They
are Nellie Granger, the little heroine
hostess of the California bound trans
port; Mrs. Meyer c. Ellenstein Of

of Cleveland and New York.
Among the dead are the two who
could have told most about the battle

The investigators checked all that
remained of the giant craft after
she ploughed through thickets and

The transport lay on its side, with
one wing protruding into the tree tops
above shapeless shambles of the

James Lucey, 81, shoemaker and
philosopher-frie of Calvin Coolidge,
died today after a long illness. Once
a White House guest, Lucey came into
national attention when President
Coolidge wrote him from the Capital:

be here"
Lucey always maintained he didn't
know why Coolidge so praised him
unless it was because of their philo-
sophie discussions which dated back to
the former Presidents days at Am
herst.
The serious-minded student came
one day to have shoes repaired. Ap-
parently impressed with the homespun
philosophy of the shoemaker, he re-
turned often.
In his little, orderly basement shop
Lucey made many friends. OF it he
once said: Here have my work;
upstairs my. girls and boys. What
else could a man ask of life?"
After Coolidge went to the Massa-
chusetts Senate, Lucey told him frank

ROCKVILLE, Md, April 8.-"Big
Eddie" Killeen was planning to kill
Sam Beard, his Washington gambling
rival, and United States Attorney
Leslie C. Garnett shortly before he
was shot to death by Mrs. Lillian Mad
dock, a Circuit Court jury was told
here today. The statement was made
by Attorney Stedman Prescott, de-
Tending Mrs. Maddox, now being tried
for manslaughter in connection with
the shooting Of Killeen.
Prescott, in his opening statement,
told the jury Killeen became a
haunted man after the mistaken
identity killing of Allen B. Wilson,
newspaper route agent, in an under
world battle.
"Fe woke up at o'clock one morn
ing Prescott said. Mrs. Maddox
was asleep, but he struck her in the

said he was going to shoot Sam Beard
and kill the District attorney"
Shortly Before Death.
Prescott said this scene occurred
just a few days before Mrs. Maddox

were occupying near Brookmont, Md.
The attorney said Killeen was "prac-

after she had served prison term for
violating the narcotic laws.

PARIS, April 8.-Peace, with
permanent air, land and sea
forces to maintain it, was pro-
vided in French plan, published
today, to organize Europe with
or without Germany, in the aft
ermath of the Reich'S breaking
of World War treaties.
The French plan turned down
Adolf Hitler'S proposals for set
tlement of the European crisis,
expressing distrust of Germany's
future intentions and demanding
fatty if Der Fuehrer would re-
frain from violating European
frontiers in the future.
Does Germany recognize as
valid, and without any reser-
vation, the present territorial
and political status of Europe?"
the French memorandum asked
in reply to Hitler's proposals.
Does she admit in this respect that
this status may be guaranteed by
accords concluded on the basis Of
mutual assistance?"
The French government made pub
lie its memorandum to advance its
counter-proposals, against those dis
patched to the British government by
Hitler to quiet the controversy aris-
ing from Germany's Rhineland re-
militarization in violation Of the YER
SailleS and Locarno treaties.
Strong Powers Urged.
Almost dictatorial powers, to compel
disarmament and to enforce respect
for treaties and international law,
would be vested in a European Com
mission" under the French plan.
The l,oOo-word program, in 25 para
graphs on IS subjects, was divided into
4 parts, accompanied by a note to
Britain, rejecting Hitler's plan for ne
gotiation of separate treaties as equiv
ocal' and evading the heart of the
problem.
The basic factors for peace, Frances
memorandum said, were equality, in
dependent and respect for engage
ments.
1t took all Europe as proper prov
ince for regional accords of mutual
assistance, but said that if any state
failed to join the plan, it still could be
effective.
Need for "a common reservoir of raw
materials" and opportunity for COM
mercial expansion" the memorandum
said, required changes in colonial
tariffs and thorough reorganization of
international tariffs, even to the point
of q sort Of customs union" among
certain countries.
Asks Economic Cooperation.

could be no prosperity without peace,
but that once peace was established

should be organized.

SWINGS TO BORAH
22 of "a Delegates Carried
by Senator at Grips
With "StaIWarts."
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The candidacy of Senator William
E. Borah of Idaho for the Republican
presidential nomination was given a
boost in the Wisconsin primary yes
terday.
With returns from approximately
one-half Of the voting precincts in,
the Borah-for- President slate of dele
gates was running ahead Of the "un-
instructed" slate of delegates by about
4 to 8. There appeared no good rea-
son to believe that the final returns
would change the standing, with only
two uninStructed delegates out Of the
"a conceded a chance to win.
The Associated Press reported the
vote for the four delegates at large
stood 200,763 for the Borah list of
candidates to 159,947 for the "unin-
structed' slate, with returns in from
1885 of the 2,918 precincts.
In the Democratic primary the slate
of delegates pledged to President
Roosevelt, picked by the State con-
ference, polled 291,51o out of 413,334
votes cast. Two other candidates, one
OF whom campaigned on Roosevelt
nd-the-common-people platform, (" re-
ceived 121 ,824 votes.
The Wisconsin primary, therefore,
will give the Idaho Senator % dele

supporters of Senator Borah in the

The voters in the Wisconsin pri-
mary expressed their preference for

or for uninstructed" delegates. Presi-

in the preference vote-they were

House Ways and Means Committee
Democrats today discussed the question
Of providing special treatment under
the tax program for debt-burdened
corporations and Chairman Doughton
said there was considerable sentiment
for such a provision.
Doughton also told newsmen the
committee was considering applying
the same Is per cent fat income tax
rate to foreign insurance companies as
would be levied on domestic insurance
firms under the s7e9, ,Ooo, 900 revenue
program.
AS the tax plan now stands, the
foreign companies would pay a 221a
per cent rate.
The chairman's comments were made
after the majority committee men,
bers-no Republicans were present
concluded a two-hour session behind
closed doors on the tax plan.
Might Meet Tonight.
With committee Democrats sched-
uled to meet again this afternoon anG
perhaps for q short time tonight
Doughton said he was confident a bill
would be laid before the House next
week.
Asked If the majority members OF
the committee were generally of the
opinion that corporations with stand
ing debts should be placed on a fiat
221a per cent tax base, instead OF
subjected to a graduated tax on cor
porate income, based on portions with
held from distribution, the chairman
said:
IT rather think they will aim that
way.
Perhaps we will lose a little rev.
Dat
ing the load a little and letting these
corporations get on their feet, we will
get more revenue from them in the
future If we drive them into bank
ruptcy we won't get any revenue.
II think it's q good policy for the
Government.
He said the suggestions for the
changes for indebted corporations and
foreign insurance companies came
from members Of a subcommittee
which drafted the new tax recommen-
dations.
Republicans to Oppose.
Doughton said Republican commit
teemen may sit in on the afternoon
session If they care to.
But they have made it plain they are
going to oppose any sort of tax bill
he added, and "if we are going to take
the responsibility of defending the bill
we might as well write it."
Some of us think, aside from the
amount of revenue-and I'm one oi

in our tax system and income tax Law

Tax Comparison
Made by Board
In Defense of City

Explaining the background of the
Parker tax report, placed today before
the Senate Subcommittee on District
appropriations, the Board of Trade
made the following statement:
For nearly so years the Board Of
Trade has been active in the interests
of the District of Columbia in an ef-
fort to work out satisfactory solution
to the fiscal problems between the
National Capital and the Federal Gov
ernment
Almost yearly, data and statistical
reports have been presented to va
rious congressional committees.
Under the leadership of distin-
guished citizens of the community, the
board has consistently advocated the
necessity for fiscal equity as the
fundamental basis upon which the
progress and development of the Ma
tional Capital rests.
Following the gradual retrenchment
of the Federal Government regarding
its share in the up keep of Washing
ton, emphasized last year, the di-
rectors OF the board met during the
Summer and decided that complete
new presentation Of statistical data
was necessary in order to prove the
case of the District of Columbia.
I'm this connection the officers of
the Merchants and Manufacturers AS
sociation, the District of Columbia
Bankers Association, the building and
loan associations of the District, the
Washington Real Estate Board, the
District of Columbia Taxpayers As
sociation and the Hotel Association OF
Washington we're consulted. They
pledged their support and financial CO.
operation toward the compilation OF
a tax survey which would be an up
to-date presentation and an impartial
basis upon which to rest the case
of the interests of the people of Wash
ington.
AFTER several consultations it was
decided to approach Mr.. L. H. Parker.
