an officer. no papers had been issued
against Jack Y. Regain, 80, another
former member of the foot ball team,
who now lives at 1902 Hawthorne

when he attempted to arrest Regain.
Regan is recovering from a fractured
skull suffered when he fell to the icy
street after he was said to have been

Session This Week May
Prove Final Effort to
Effect Compromise.
SENATOR CLARK HOLDS
EXEMPTION is SOLUTION
Chances for Passage of Original
Amendment as Bill, However,
Is Held Slim.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

The joint congressional subcommit-
tee appointed to try to work out some
way of preserving private pension
plans In industry after the Federal
old-age annuity system begins to
operate next year will be called to
Meet again this week by Chairman
King in what may prove to be final
effort to solve the problem.
Thus far the subcommittee has not
been able to agree upon solution. in
consultation with Government actu-
aries and social security experts, and
there were no signs yesterday that an
agreement is in sight.
Senator Clark, Democrat of Missouri,
indicated he Is disposed to go back to
advocacy of his original proposal of
last year, which would have exempted
employers and employees from the pay
roll taxes which start in January,
1887, in cases where a concern
operates private retirement plan at
least equal to, or more beneficial, than
the proposed Federal system. He
probably will reintroduce this as a
separate bill in the event the joint
subcommittee is unsuccessful eventu-
ally in seeking some other solution of
the question.
Chances Held Slim.
The chances for passage of the origi-
nal Clark amendment as a separate
bill are not believed to be bright, how
ever, if the joint House and Senate
group fails to agree upon a compro-
mise.
Senator Clark still believes Congress
should take this step to exempt ex-
isting private plans, pointing out that
the Federal plan may be held uncon-
stitutional, and that, meanwhile, some
industries would have discontinued
their voluntary systems with the in
auguration OF the Government pro-
gram.
The Senate adopted the Clark
amendment by decisive vote when
the social security law was being
drafted, but in conference with the
House an impasse was reached and
the appointment of the joint sub
committee to study the question fur
ther was agreed upon to eliminate the
Clark amendment and bring about
final passage of the rest of the social
security program. Administration
forces opposed the private pension ex-
emption. Among other things, they
expressed fear the exemptions would
weaken the Federal system.
Private Plans Cover 1900, 200.
Supporters of the Clark amend
meot estimate that about 100000
employees are covered by private plans
equal to the Federal system, and
which were established voluntarily by
industries. The amendment was SO
drafted that If an exempted industry
later discontinued its plan, it would
have to pay into the Federal fund the
amount that would have been contrib
uted if the concern had been in the
Government plan during the period of
exemption.
1t is understood that one compro-
mise has been discussed in the SUBJ
committee, which would involve pay
meat of the taxes by all concerns.
with some system of rebates to those
operating private systems. Indications
are, however, that this was not re-
garded by supporters of an exemption
plan as likely to result in preserva-
ton Of private systems.

TAXPENALTY CUT
ONREALTY URGED
Commissioners Told Pro-
tective Association Is Pre-.
pairing Amendments.

Reduction of the interest penalty of
IL per cent per year on unpaid realty
taxes was urged on the Commission
ers yesterday by the Washington Tax
payers Protective Association in sug-
costing changes in the present system
of forcing payment of delinquent
taxes.
Rufus S. Lusk, association secretary,
said the body was preparing an out
line of proposed amendments which
would be submitted within 10 days
The group may suggest ban on the
present practice of selling tax deeds
to brokers who, after two years, may
make their own terms with the de-
linquent taxpayer.
House Committee Hearing.
Attention was focused on the sys-
tenn at hearing before the Judiciary
Subcommittee of the House District
Committee. in which the present prac-
tice of selling tax deeds to private
brokers was denounced by Representa-
tives Palmisano and Dirksen. At their
request Corporation Counsel E. Bar
rett Prettyman is studying amendment
Of the law.
Lusk asked for a conference be-
tween his group and District officials
after the tax body had submitted
its suggestions, in the hope agree
ment could be reached on a pro-
posed measure.
The association will suggest that
the primary consideration should be
to protect the revenues of the Dis
trict, he said.
1.-THE delinquent taxpayer, particu-
larly when his delinquency is not
due to any fault of his own, should
be given every reasonable considera-
ton, but always bearing in mind
that the District must eventually COL
lect its taxes" he added.
"The interest rate should be re-
duced. Twelve per cent, the penalty
which must be paid when property is
bought by an outsider at tax sale,
seems rather high compared with
present low interest rates.
May Abolish Sales.
1T may be that tax sales as we
now know them should be abolished en-
tirely. On no other tax of the Dis
trict is the right to collect penalty,
amounting in instances as high as
300 per cent, sold to an outsider third
party, who purchases this right to
profit from the misfortune of one
who cannot pay his tax promptly.
1.-THE loss Of interest alone that has
gone for years to outsiders instead of
to the District government must
amount to millions of dollars. Even at
the present time when the business
of buying tax certificates is not as
good as it was a few years ago, pen
alties are being paid by delinquent
property owners to outsiders amounting
to thousands of dollars a month.
There Is no reason this money
should not be paid into the District
treasury, as is the case with the
tangible and intangible taxes"

LARGEST AIRPORT
NEAR COMPLETION
CIeveIand's Great Field to
Be Finished Within
Two Months.
Ry the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, September within
the next two months the Job Of max
ing Cleveland Municipal Airport the
largest flying field In the world will
be finished, but Maj. Jack Berry isn't
satisfied.
I'm never satisfied" said Berry,
manager of the airport, today. If I
had my way about it, the improvement
never would be completed. I have
plenty of plans, but they're not ready
to talk about. Anyway, I'm thankful
for this much"
As a project of the Works Progress
Administration, the airport is being
enlarged to 1,040 acres, nearly double
its former size, at cost of So, 800 900.
With about two months to go, there
are $500 men employed. At one time
last Winter 1900 were working on
the job.
Berry said that no airport In the
world could surpass the Municipal
Airport in size and that the next largest
in the United States probably would
be at Oakland, Calf. Three inter-
nationally famous ports, Croydon in
England, LIE Bourget in France and
Templehof of Germany, all could be
placed inside Cleveland Airport with
room to spare.
In another month work will be
completed on the largest mat ever
installed at an airport. Containing
100000 square feet Of 10-fnch as
Battle-Ground macadam and asphaltic
concrete, it will be the principal target
of gigantic airliners of the future,
as Maj. Berry has planned the port
with an eye to the blueprints of the
airplane designers.
In another year." he said. there
will be 28-ton ships with four motors
and space for 40 passengers. We're
ready for them"
The enlarged airport can accommo-
date 2,400 transport planes a day,
and in case Of rush I'VE could handle
twice that" said Maj. Berry.
