Although it has been generally felt
during the hearings that the income
tax would not be revived in view of
the opposition 1t encountered in the
House. this controversial levy came
back into the picture last night, when
two committee members - Seniors
Capper OF Kansas and Austin of Ver-

it some thought.

man, but divergence Of view as to
what form of tax should take its
place.
Announcing his opposition to the
sales tax, Capper said If the gross
receipts tax goes out he would favor
restoring the income levy. He said the
suggestion for local tax on beer and
ale also is worthy Of consideration.
Austin Undecided.
Austin has not made up his mind,

Senator Tydings, Democrat, Of
Maryland, while not committed to
the sales tax, has endeavored during
the hearings to develop the wisdom
OF that levy.
An increase from so to 80 cents a
gallon In the tax on hard liquor was
proposed Monday as part Of the Board
OF Trades program. It was followed
yesterday by the suggestion Of Sena-
tor Reynolds, Democrat, of North
Carolina that the license fees Of
liquor dealers might be raised. The
placing of a local levy on beer and
ale was added to the discussion when
Attorney Whiteford said he was In
formed there is no local tax on those
two beverages at present.
Receipts Levy May BE Eased.
The sales tax, with necessities ex-

thus far than the other substitutes,

gross receipts levy it is almost GER

Other speakers told the crowd
which union men said numbered
about 5000, to ignore newspaper
headlines" One speaker, William La
velle, c. I. o. counsel at Warren. said
the union could provide free groceries
for strikers families.
The hunt went on for Gus Hall, the
c. I. O. organizer who is named with
five others in charges of plotting vio-

area. c. I. o. officers said. too, that
Arthur Scott, one of the three alleged

CHICAGO, June 30-The National
Labor Relations Board pushed its
hearing Of a complaint against the
Inland Steel Corp. today after ruling
out consideration of the issue of
union responsibility or reliability.
Charles A. Wood, trial examiner of
the board, ruled Inland attorneys may
not argue their contention that the
alleged irresponsibility of the Steel
Workers Organizing Committee was
a factor in the steel firms refusal to
sign collective bargaining pact.
The complaint alleged refusal to
sign contract constituted violation
Of the Wagner labor act
Wood said the general objective of
Congress in designing the Wagner
act would be seriously challenged if
this question of the responsibility of
the union were raised by an employer
every time wage agreement contro-
versy arose"
The issue arose when Ernest S.
Ballard, chief counsel for Inland,
cross-examined Van A. Bittner, re-
gionaH S. W. O. c. director. Wood
made the ruling when Bittner was
asked whsther he had promised to
give Inland 48 hours notice Of a
strike
Ballard then argued the right ito
establish that this is not bona fide
labor union with which we are sup
posed to negotiate
In response to Billiards. questions,
Bittner testified there were no S. w.
o. c. rules and regulations in writing
that he could produce. The attorney
declared he was satisfied the Or
ganization had no constitution and
bylaws.

Donovan replied. I'VE have figures te

McCarran agreed that there should
be difference in the ratio Of assessed

ness properties. The Senator argued
however, that the additional per cent
land tax could be absorbed without
hardship in the difference between
assessed value and sale price.
Donovan said that assumes every.

where he was vacationing with his
two daughters, the merchant in

ability as a swimmer. we're respon-
sible for his return.
Nearly two hours in the Pacific
water, swept out to sea over a mile
and a quarter, fog-bound for 15
minutes as he breasted the tide
which repelled his efforts, was the
tale recounted by the grocer last
night.
Only a mediocre swimmer himself,
the Bisbee man said he was caught
by strong undertow Tuesday
morning while bathing near San
Pedro. He beat by day the Cruel
ling experience of 20 persons swept
to sea as he was when small tidal
wave caught the vacationers bathing
Wednesday.
Seven said he was carried 400 feet
past the end of a long pier by an
undertow before he realized his
predicament. Using breast stroke,
the Bisbeean attempted to swim
back to shore. The current was too
strong and he was unable to attract
help by shouting Before he knew
it. he said he was over a mile and a
quarter from shore.
Fog enveloped the swimmer, muf-
fling his cries and obscuring his
vision for IS minutes. He said the
next thing he knew he again was
abreast of the pier but practically
stationary. He had been carried
back by the incoming tide and held
by the rip tide.
Further down from the pier where
he started out, he managed finally
to attract attention of onlookerS
who called life guards. 1t was too
early for boat duty by guards and

thirty minutes was required by the
trio to gain shore, the rescued man
