TAX law BOOSTS
REVENUE ALREADY
Loopho|e Act, Effective on
81 Returns, and Probes
Avert Conflicts.
BACKGROUND

NAV "a ~ ~ " " ~
Failure OF tar returns of last
March to reach estimated yield uds
tolloued by Treasury inquiry into
reasons. Widespread avoidance OF
tar obligations ,Uas disclosed
through such devices as incor-
porated yachts and ioreign set-ups.
After 1ridely publicised congress
Siondl hearings, ldU 1Das passed to
tighten most OF these loopholes.
BY the Associated Press
Revenue officials credited today ad-
ministration efforts to seal tax loop
holes with putting several million ad-
ditional dollars in the Treasurys cash
box.
Although the reCently-enacted loop
hole closing law will not be effective
until 1887 tax returns are filed, au-
thorities said this statute and the re-
cent congressional investiga ton of
tax avoidance have bolstered revenues
already.
Many wealthy persons have agreed
to additional income tax assessments
levied by the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau, it was said, rather than fight
the cases in court.
Ofhcials expressed the view some
wanted to avoid any conflict with the
bureau which might be aired in pub
lie hearings Others were described
as willing to apply certain provisions
of the new law to their 1885 incomes
as matter of etchics."
Authorities said they could not esti-
mate how much additional revenue
already has rolled in, but estimated it
would run into the millions.
When the new law becomes effective
it is expected to hike tax collections
by about slOO,OO0.OOO annually. This
extra revenue, officials said, will aid
materially in Treasury efforts to bal
ance the budget in the next fiscal year.
Supplementing the recent loophole
law, the Treasury is surveying the
entire revenue structure with view
to revision during the next Congress
officials said consideration will be
given to eliminating certain emer-
gency nuisance taxes" and replacing
them with long-range substitutes.
Attention also will be given to over
tapping State and Federal taxes, and
whether the Government should with
draw from the fields of automobile and
gasoline taxation.
Although saying they have not de-
termined whether existing tax dupli-
cations can be eliminated, authorities
added that no recommendations would
be made which would increase the
number of overlapping taxes.

4. |. |. Threatens 10 Lift
West Virginia Fed
GRAFTON Charter
BY MARC FEINSTEIN
Federated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.-(FP)-
Declaring that similar steps would
be taken whenever and wherever
like circumstances arose, Pres. Will
liam Green of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor announced that the
federation's executive council would
revoke the charter of the West Vir-
ginia State Federation of Labor if
necessary to force it to obey its or
ders to expel all CLIO. adherents.
Green, presiding over the coun-
ellis annual pre-convention session,
admitted that the CLIO. had accom-
plished a coup d'etat" when the
500 delegates attending the West
Virginia convention voted with So
dissenting to ignore Green's orders.
Pres. John B. Easton of the West
Virginia Federation, in reporting to
Green the action, declared that to
comply would threaten the existence
of the states labor unions. Easton
cited the recent gains made by la
Dor in West Virginia, adding that to
GUST half of the affiliated unions
would imperil these gains.
In an exchange of newspaper
statements with Pres. Homer Mar
tin of the United Automobile Work
ers, Green charged that Martins
defense of the sitdown weakened
the union as a collective bargaining
agent.
Of major importance for council
action is the east coast and gulf
maritime situation, where the fed
eration's Init. Seamen's Union faces
a 3%-cornered fight with the indie
pendent but pro-C.T.O. Natl. Mari
time Union and a recently chartered
affiliate of the Init. Longshoremen's
Assn, whose president, Joseph P.
Ryan, announced he would take
over the I.S.U. Ryan, though not
a member of the council, is here
and went into a conference with
Green at the close of the councils
session Aug. 26. Ryan told Fed
Grated Press that he had come pre-
pared to present the council with a
detailed plan for the reorganization
of the federation's maritime setup.
The council took action on several
minor jurisdiction fights and receiv-
ed an application for a charter from
the representative of the Natl. Fed
Grafton of Post Office Motor Vehi-
Gle Employees, who said they had en-
rolled 3,040 out of a potential $500
members.

No one seems to know where the false
impression about mans inability to
cook originated. Not that we expect
every American male to turn into q
George Rector or an Oscar of the
Waldorf, but any intelligent adult,
mar or woman, can learn to cook if the
proper amount of attention and perse-
verance are applied.
An appropriate first step in cookery
for men who want to become chefs is TO
concentrate on one or two dishes.
Learn how to make them perfectly,
then with that as the center of your
meal, you can easily open a bottle of
tomato juice for a first course, toss
together a green salad, and top it off
with ice cream, or some ready-made
dessert.
Toasted Cheese Saneks are Just the
dish for male beginners in the realm for
cookery. They are easily prepared and
are especially appropriate to serve at a
stag party or a Sunday evening dinner.
Any maj will enjoy acting as chef. and

beer, which is just the beverage men

like served with this type of a snack,
his success as a host, as well as a cook,
will be assured.
The generous spreading of the bread
with prepared mustard and then soak
ing with beer are the secrets to the
tastiness of Toasted Cheese Snacks.
The following recipe is for four, but
you will probably want to increase it,
because no matter how few guests there
are, there will be calls for more. To
round out the menu, a relish tray filled
with pickles, stuffed and ripe olives,
celery and radishes will be most well
come as the contrasting ac%compani~
ment.

The new Chevrolet fire truck for the City of Nome was receiv- ed on this Victoria, and delivered to the fire department yesterday afternoon.

Preparations are going ahead for the installing of the hose on the truck and the placing of other equipment from the old wagon truck.
 No definite time has been set when the new truck will take ov- CT the duties of the old equip ment which has been in service for the past twenty-five or more years, drawn by horses, although it is expected that the new outfit will be in action within a day or two.

DR.. Smith Replies
To 'Off-the-ReCOrd'
Charges in Custer
Former Head of Girls
Training School
Cites Gossip"

OOOOO NVCCLP
Determined to break through
the walls of official silence that
have obscured motives behind her
summary dismissal as superin-
tendent Of the National Training
School for Girls, DR.. Carrier
Weaver Smith today made public
answers to her accusers.
Told only that her dismissal
was "for the good of the service"
and denied hearing before her
superiors, DR.. Smith said:
GOSSIP" CHARGED
stimulating gossip would
seem to me to be beneath the
dignity and contrary to the
ethics of such a group of citizens
as those comprising the Board
Of Public Welfare, but during
the past 80 days I have heard
numerous unofficial explana-
tions for my discharge and all
Of them were passed out con-
fidentially' or off the record
II feel the time has come to
make statement to the public
in which I propose to consider
those side glances' and off
the records which I have been
forced to grin and bear"
"The first off the record
charge heard" she said, "is
that obtained my appointment
at the school as result of pres
sure exerted on the Board Of
Public Welfare by the Chief Of
the Federal Children's Bureau,
Miss Katherine Lenroot. I CRATE
fully admit that Miss Lenroot
and I have been friends for
years.
CITES RED TAPE SHOALS
"she has attempted, not en-.
tirely successfully, to steer me
through the depths and shoals
of the District red tape. The
pressure exerted in my behalf
was her response to a request
from Elwood Street to suggest
someone to take over the politi-
cal plum known as the National
Training School for Girls, which
carried a net salary of $4,000.
This lucrative sinecure had been
offered to District residents who
refused to touch it with a 10
foot pole"
DR.. Smith emphasized that
Street had five months to investi-
gate her previous record, and said:
"As was discharged in 1888
from the State Training school
in nearby Maryland, he could
certainly have found enough
critics who would have gladly
given him all the necessary in
formation. To get qualified per
sonnel is one Of his most i'm
portant duties. He need not
have bought a pig in a poke"
DES Smith said police of the
Seventh precinct submitted a re-
port to the Commissioners indicat-
ing that the situation at the
training school was not likely to
be controlled under her methods
OF discipline.
"The report" continued DR..
Smith, sis conglomeration of
inaccurate statements and in
nuendoes and if the Board of
Public Welfare wishes to play
fair they would have given me
an opportunity to answer. I did
ask in writing for a thorough
inquiry, but my request was
ignored. The truth of the matter
is that I was at the school from
February "a, 1896 to June "a,
1887, before the police were ever
officially called to the school.
Calling police to the Training
School ha snot been an infre-
quent practice in the past 40
years. am perfectly willing to
admit that the discipline at the
school was bad.

committee of the Council of Social
Agencies in protesting proposed
extension of Loughsborough Road
in such manner that it would

matter was taken up with Street
long before it went before the

DR.. Smith said she has long
known she was considered "nui-

cause Of the vigor with which she
fought for Improvements at the
