VINS0N RAISES
TAXPR0GRAM
BARRIER
international News Service


Plans to open public hearings
early next week on the Admins
tration's new tax program were
abandoned today by House Ways
and Means Committee leaders.
The tax subcommittee, which is
trying to prepare report on
which hearings can be based, now
hopes to complete its work so
that public hearings can be open
ed not later than April l, Chair
man Hill CD Of Washington
said:
A problem in mathematics, pre-
Sented by Representative Vinson
CD Of Kentucky, was said by
members to have upset calcula-
tionS Of the tax subcommittee and
Treasury experts. These had
tentively framed q graduated
scale Of rates designed to produce
the $620,000, 900 added corporation
taxes sought by the Administra-
ton.
The scale ranged from IS to SIS
per cent, but was based on the
percentage of profits corporation
failed to distribute in dividends.
But APPARENTLY the question of
where the money to pay the tax
to Uncle Sam was coming from
had been overlooked.
The mathematical blem
raised by Vinson, it was said,
may force a complete revision
of the agreed scale Of sliding
rates on corporations.

U. S. Maps Plans
To Aid CattIemen
International News Service

Hoping for a break in the
drought that stretches from the
Rockies to the Appalachians, the
special drought committee met
with Department of Agriculture
experts today to map plans for
purchasing cattle Of the arid
Northwest unless rain falls in the
next fortnight.
Only grain and graSS-Saving
rains over the corn belt will pre-
vent necessary buying up OF tens
of thousands of head of livestock
from the DakotaS, Montana and
Wyoming, officials said.
Already the drought in the Da-
kotas, Montana and parts Of
wyoming and northwestern Neb-
raska has ruined the spring wheat
crop and the grazing lands. Cattle
still are bringing good prices on
the markets, and Senator Nye
(RO, of North Dakota, reported
thousands of head have been
shipped in the last two weeks.
Acting on instructions tele-
graphed by Secretary of Agricul-
ture wallace from Duluth, Jesse
w. Tapp, chairman Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture-AAA commit
tee, drew preliminary plans for
spending five million dollars If
necessary in the cattle purchasing
program.
Tapp's committee was to meet
with the Presidents special COM
mittee, with DR.. Rexford Guy Tug
well, reSettlement administrator,
acting as chairman in the absence
Of Wallace, to go over the plans.

Trio Accused BY Dean

In Court Today

DETROIT, July 3 G.N.S0.
The probe into the Black Legion
centered in suburban Highland
Park today after a councilman
there was accused of being a mem.
Der of the hooded band and three
alleged nightriders, including a
patrolman, were arrested on
charges of plotting the Staying Of

Park newspaper publisher.
Those arrested for the Kingsley
plot we're John Goodwin, IS, sus.
pended Highland Park policeman;

street railway employe, and Ro
land Hasselbeck, 38, suspended
Highland Park fireman.
All denied the charges and were
expected to plead not guilty or

accused Goodwin of being assigned
to block off the street so he could
escape after shooting Kingsley.
The newspaper publisher escaped

cast descriptions of the park and
activities before the dedication
begins.
Arrangements have been made
to facilitate the flow of traffic
to and from Big Meadows. Roads
will be one-way leading into the
celebration area until the be-
ginning of the ceremonies, and
one-way outward after the pro-
gram.
Under this arrangement, tn e
Department of Interior expected
no serious tie-up of traffic. Ap-
proximately 10000 persons an
hour were passing over the en-
trance roads this morning.
Virginia State police are han
ding the traffic, with assistance
from the National Parks Service
and enrolleeS Of the Civilian Con-
servation Corps camps now as
signed in the park area.
Although concessions are n o t
ordinarily permitted in the park,
arrangements have been made to-
day for the sale of light refresh
ments, such as sandwiches, box
lunches and soft drinks, at Big
Meadows. The refreshments are
being sold from eight temporary
booths erected for the occasions,
with eight tank wagons supplying
gasoline and oil.
Because of the great number Of
persons attending the ceremonies,
three first aid stations have been
established at Big Meadows, Swift
Run Gap and Panorama. The
Third Army Corps has supplied
hospital tents, tarpaulins and
other equipment.
The establishment of the Shen-
andoah National Park came after
IL years of effort. In 1924, the
then Secretary of the Interior ap-
pointed a committee to investigate
the Southern Appalachian noun
tain region with a view to deter
mining which areas were best for
national park.
Sites Picked in 1915
The committee found the Shen-
andoah region and the Great
Smoky Mountains of North Caro-
lima and Tennessee, best suited
and on their recommendation,
Congress, in 1915. started the ma
chinery rolling for the establish.
ment of two national parks. Sim
liar legislation was later enacted
for the Mammoth Cave area.
OF these three, however, the
Shenandoah National Park is the
only one to gain complete park
status up to the present.
BY regulation Of Secretary Ickes,
souvenirs sold within the parks
Of the Southern Appalachian re-
gion must be articles of handi-
craft native to the area. Lack
of an accessible market has here
tofore discouraged revival of the
mountain crafts of weaving, bas-
kerry and metal work, and it is
hoped that the present policy will
give impetus to the mountaineers'
work.

j. :. MAY NEED
TO IMPORT
WHEAT
Federal Aid Is Rushed
To Farmers and
CattIenen

CHICAGO, July 3 U.N.S0.
With reports still pouring in today
from drought-stricken States OF
the Northwest indicating almost
certain crop failures, all hard
grains scared to the limit on Chi
cago and other American markets,
although there was a marked drop
in farm equipment shares.
In Chicago yesterday, wheat had
advanced the daily limit OF five
cents to $1,000 a half-hour before
the market was scheduled to close,
and Spectators were not eager to
sell at that arbitrary price, be-
cause of their belief there would
be a further advance today.
There appeared to be no let-up
in the bleak outlook for the north
western States today. with no rain
expected and a further decline in
crop conditions. With the crops
already far below normal, this
pointed to a further activity and
advance in prices on grain futures.
Experts held that the winter and
spring crops combined will fall
short Of the 635 million bushels,
considered necessary for the ma
tons consumption, and that the
United States will have to play the
role of an importer to get its full
quota of bread"
Even should rains now come in
the Northwest the expert observers
believe this will have little effect
on the spring crop because har-
vesting is scheduled to begin next
week.
The nation got some solace in
the fact, however, that the south
ern States and the Great Lakes
region were favored by rain, and
that a Government program was
being rushed to aid the drought
stricken areas.

The case was then continued
until January 10, 1887, at the re-
quest of Assistant District Attor-
ney Karl Kindelberger. The col
lateral had been posted by Ser
geant-at-Arms Kenneth Romney
of the House shortly before he
prevailed on District officials to
allow zioncheck to leave the
sanctity of the House Office
Building and board a train for

Zioncheck had taken haven in

from arrest, after he had vaulted
an eight-foot fence to escape from
the Sheppard and Enoch Pratt
Hospital near Baltimore where he
was undergoing treatment.
District officials had ordered
him arrested on the assault war
rant and returned to Gallinger
Hospital for further mental OBJ
servation, but Romney, who de-
clared he felt Zioncheck had not
had a fair DEAL" prevailed on
them to allow him to leave for
his home.

that since he had misused his
authority in helping Mr.. Zion
