FUNERAL
FOR MARCONI
WEDNESDAY

ROME, July 20 U.N.SJ-Recit-
ing the Lords Prayer and calling
the names Of his daughter and
wife, Senator Marchese Guglielmo
Marconi, famous italian statesman
and wireless inventor, died sud-
denly today of paralytic stroke.
At the age of SO, the electricity
wizard succumbed in his town
house in Rome at BAT a. m.
Father Paolino Kappa conferred
the last rites upon the dying in
Ventor and afterward said:
Senator MarcOni died recit-
ing the Lords Prayer. He called
the names of his wife and daughs
ter and held an ebony crucifix In
his hands"
News of his death spread sor.
row among official and social
circles at Rome, and also at the
Vatican.
Pope Plus, after being told the
inventor had died, prayed in his
private chapel and sent his con.
dolences to the famous inventors
widow.
Premier MuSsolini paid q last
tribute to the Senator by going to
his home and personally viewing
the body, after which he expressed
his condolences to MarcheSa Mar
conf.
Later the senator's body was re-
moved to the Italian Academy,
where it will lie in state. The
funeral will be held at 6 p. m.
Wednesday. Burial will be in the
family tomb at Bologna.
International News Service was
informed that Marconi became i'll
Monday afternoon and was unable
to keep an appointment with Pre-
mier MusSolini for 6 p. m.
Apparently he. had a Fremont
ton that death was approaching,
for he later telephoned II Duce,
King Emperor Victor Emmanuel
and Cardinal Pacelli, papal secre-
tary of state, and told them:
81 am afraid I am a very sick
man."
From then until the moment he
died, II Duce, the King and Cardi-
nal Pacelli kept in constant touch
with Marconi's home.
Doctors Called
Marconi's two physicians, DR..
Frugoni and DR.. Pozzi, were sum-
moned at midnight. Realizing the
end was near, they contacted
Marchesa Marconi, who was cele-
brating her daughters birthday
at Via Reggie.
She arrived in Rome at Z a. M,
Sunday, and remained at her hus-
bands death bed.
Also with him when he died were
The two physicians and his father
;n-law, Count Antonio BesSi-Scai.
1t was stated that the inventor

had passed away painlessly, sue
cumbing to the stroke after an
initial seizure Of cardiac paralysis.
Authorities stated the noted in
ventor and statesman will be given
an imposing state funeral in recog-
milton of his achievements.
The greater part of Marconi's
career was devoted to his expert
ments in the field of wireless COM
munication, which probably was
his chief interest in life.

He conducted wireless telegraphy
experiments at Bologna and dem.

British government while still a
young man in 1896. He displayed
them before the Italian govern

LOW SALARY
INCREASES
PLANNED
House Measure Would
Affect Those Paid
Less Than ST. 200

The House Appropriations Com
mittee today recommended a 500
a-year increase in the salaries Of
all custodial employees under the
Interior Department whose annual
salaries are less than 1900.
The recommendation is con-
tanned in the Interior Department
appropriations bill reported to the
House today, in which an increase
above the budget estimates Of
$135, 100 is proposed for this salary
increase for the cuStodial EN-.
ployeS.
It is estimated that more than
1000 employees would be benefited
by this recommendation, which
was placed in the bill at the urgent
request Of Charles ]. Stengle, head
Of the American Federation Of
Government Employees, and Luther
C. Stewart, head Of the National
Federation Of Government EN-
ployeS.
Institution Funds
The four federally controlled
institutions under the jurisdiction
Of the Department Of Interior were
given amounts by the commit
tee at least as high as were recon.

Budget.
For st. Elizabeth's Hospital the
committee recommended an appro-
priation Of $1,149, $50, which is
$4,000 less than the 1887 appro-
priation, but in the exact amount
recommended by the Budget Blu

Membership Splits
On Methods For
Meeting Deficit

Proponents Of a retail sales
tax and an income tax squared
off for action today as the spe.
cia1 House District subcomn1it'
tee considering tax and legiS-
lative reforms met to begin prep
aration Of a program designed
to raise additional revenue to
meet the anticipated District
deficit for next year.
Representative Jack Nichols
CD of Oklahoma, attacked the
income tax proposal, asserting
at is one Of the knottiest prob
lens I know of" because 1t Is
difficult to determine how to
write a proposal within the
limits of the Constitution. He
expressed the belief that a local
retail sales tax would be the
easiest to administer and would
produce the necessary revenue.
On the other hand, Represent
alive Everett Dirksen (R) Of Illi-
nois, swung strongly to the support
Of a local income tax, condemntng
the sales tax as violating a basic
principle Of taxation" He urged
the subcommittee to speed up its
work, however, and arrive at some
conclusion quickly.
Commissioners Outline Plan
This discussion occurred as the
District Commissioners met with
the subcommittee and outlined
their entire tax program, including
an income tax, business privilege
tax, an estate tax, an automobile
weight tax, an insurance tax and
an increased gasoline tax.
Even the Commissioners ques-
toned the constitutionality of
their proposed income tax, which
they submitted at the request of
the subcommittee.
Corporation Counsel Elwood Seal
pointed to a Supreme Court de-
cision which held that Congress in
enacting legislation for the Dis
trict took the status of a State
legislature. Seal related that a
State cannot tax the income of
Federal employee.
Loss of Revenue Seen
Commissioner Melvin C, Hazen
told the subcommittee that if an
income tax here does not reach
the Federal employees. the bulk
Of the revenue which would be
raised from that source would be
lost.
Asked by Representative Nichols
whether, in view of the Constitu-
tional question concerning the in
come tax law here. the Commits
sionerS had considered obtaining

SHRINE FLAYED
BY ARCHITECT

A vigorous attack on the pro-

was made today by William Les
Gaze, noted architect, at the open

John Russell Pope, who designed
the memorial, had been invited to
attend the meeting but sent his
regrets.
Declaring that he had confidence
the proposed memorial will never
be constructed, Mr.. LseScaze based
his objection to it on the following
four points:
4 Jefferson was simple, dem
lie ocratic man who hated pre-
lenses, and yet under the plan
would be immortalized in pomp
and pretense.
