STICKS TO WEDDING PLANS.

TOURS, France, March 9 (P).-Mrs.
Wallis Warfield Simpson turned today
to the seclusion Of a wooded estate
in the Touraine chateau country to
while away more of the time until
she is reunited with the Duke of Wind
sor.
The move carried her back to the
historic countryside through which
she passed on her trip from England
three months ago while the Duke
then King Edward VIII-was re-
nouncing the British throne 50 he
might be free to wed her.
She was awaited momentarily at
Chateau de Cande, the property Of
Charles E. Bedaux, an industrial en-
gineer and naturalized American, now
in New York
Mrs. Bedaux, the former Fern Lom-
bard Of Cleveland, Ohio. was expected
to receive Mrs. Simpson and Mr.. and
Mrs. Herman L. Rodgers, who ac-
companied Mrs. Simpson when she
left their villa at Cannes yesterday.
May Have More Privacy.
The American-born Mrs. Simpson
had been a guest there since she left
London at the height of the abdica-
ton crisis.
Possibly in the new retreat she
sought a privacy more complete than
that afforded by the Riviera. Friends
in London said Mrs. Simpson had
no intention of altering her plan to
be married as soon as her divorce
from Ernest Aldrich Simpson becomes
final, probably late in April.
Local residents, noting large-scale
preparations for Mrs. Simpsons COM
ing, including reinfo.cements of the
chateau servant staff and the delivery
of many flowers, spec ulated she might
wait for Edward in the castle high
above the valley Of the Indre River
and that they might be married there
1t was more generally accepted, how
ever, that Mrs. Simpson was only
temporary guest at the chateau.

Borchardt over to the association to
take his place and that business was
falling off and there was need for
ready cash and that he had used some
of my funds because he knew it would
be all right"
Treasury Knew. He Says.
Rhodes also told him that Treasury
officials knew about it and had said it
was all right" Irr said.
Answering another question by Will
son, Irr said, Nothing was said about
losses and naturally 1 supposed they
(tlle funds had been restored"
Irr said that nothing was said about
the withdrawal slip either on that visit
or on another he made to Rhodes in
June. On both occasions, Irr said,
Rhodes sent for him. Irr explained
that Rhodes had acted as his attorney
for several years, but he declared he
had never given him power of attorney
to sign his name.
Taking over the witness for cross
examination, William E. Leahy, chief
of defense counsel, brought out that
Irr was on close terms with Rhodes
and was actively interested in the fight
of the latter to keep open six branches
Of the Fidelity which the controller
of the currency wanted closed.
The morning hearing was marked
by frequent verbal battles between
Wilson and Leahy, who contended the
prosecutor was going too far af1eld IN
his questioning.
Directors Told After Resignation.
As soon as Leahy finished with Mrs.
Horner, who was a Government VII
ness, Wilson resumed his questioning
asking her when the directors f1rst
became cognizant OF the existence OF
the memorandum.
Immediately after Mr.. Rhodes res
ignation," she said.
Mrs. Horner then was temporarily
excused. She had been on the stand
since the trial started yesterday.
Much of this mornings testimony
revolved around the Southwest wash
ington branch of Fidelity, which, It
was brought out, was owned independ-
emily by Rhodes. 1t was to cancel
trust against this property that Rhodes
is said to have made the withdrawal
slip against Irr.
Rhodes resigned from Fidelity four
months before 1t closed last July and
sold the Southwest branch to the par
ent institution. No money changed
hands, however, according to testi-
mony, the sale price actually being
credited to Fidelity.

There was an attempt by the prose-

some liability that Rhodes had con-

Your
Income Tax
Exemptions Above d
Couples Married Dur
ing Taxable Year.
VIII,


Taxpayers should note that under
the revenue act of 1896 the credit
for dependents as well as the personal
exemption is required to be prorated
where change of status occurs dur
ing the taxable year and that these
credits are allowable not only for the
purpose of computing the normal tax
but also the surtax. A fractional part
of month is to be diSregarded unless
1t amounts to more than half a month,
in which case it is considered month.
For example, single man and
single woman who were married on
July 20, 1886, and were living to-
gether on the last day of the taxable
year may file a joint return. If they
file their return or returns on the
basis of the calendar year. they would
be entitled to a personal exemption of
$2208.34, which is Seven-twelfthS Of
$1,000 for the husband while single.
plus seven-twelfths of $1,000 for the
wife while single. plus hve-twelfths of
$4,000 for the period during which
they were married. If separate re-
turns are filed. each is entitled to a
personal exemption Of Sl,l04l7, which
Is Seven-twelfths of $1,000, plus one
half of five-twelfths of $2,50O. If dur
ing the year 1886 the husband or the
wife had the status of the head Of a
family prior to their marriage he or
she would be entitled to his or her pro-
rata share of the personal exemption
of S2,500 allowed the head of fam
lily for the period prior to their mar
riage instead of merely that allowed
a single person. However, for the Pc
riod of their marriage any exemption
to which either might be entitled as
the head Of a family would be merged
in the joint personal exemption for
that period. The joint personal ex-
emption allowable in the case of a
couple who were married and living
together during the entire year may
not exceed $2,500.
If child under 18 eyars of age and
dependent on the parent for support
reaches the age Of IS years during
the taxable year. the credit of $400
for dependent is required to be pro-
rated in the same manner as the per-
sonal exemption. For example. should
the child's 18th birthday anniversary
fall on June 30 the parent would be
entitled to claim 5000 credit for the de-
pendent child-that Is. one-haf Of
$400. The same rule applies to other
dependents where change Of status
occurs during the taxable year.

said. Justice Peyton Gordon, presid.

Earlier. Wilson had questioned Mrs

Legislation for Revenue

REPORT IN OPPOSITION
TO RIDER TO BE FILED
Tydings Amendment on Price.
Fixing, Attached to Measure,
Is Fought by King.
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Caught behind the Supreme Court
fight, the local tax bill appeared des-
tined today to remain side-tracked on
the Senate calendar until sometime
next week
Despite urgent need for additional
revenue to meet the city's estimated
100000 deficit under the recently
enacted District appropriation act,
reliable reports on Capitol Hill indicate
the court debate will not slow down
sufficiently to give the tax bill a
chance during the remainder of this
week.
District Committee members prob
ably will sound out Senate leaders to-
day or tomorrow, however, to get
more definite idea of when time may
be allotted for consideration of this
emergency measure.
King to File Report.
Meanwhile, Chairman King of the
District Committee will file today his
minority report in opposition to the
effort to amend the national anti
trust law as rider on the local
revenue measure. The rider in ques-
ton is the amendment sponsored by
Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Mary.
land to re-enforce State laws that
authorize contracts fixing minimum
resale prices for trade marked COM
modities.
Just before the Senate recessed yes
terday, Senator McCarran, Democrat
OF Nevada, reported the revenue bill,
the major features of which are the
additional levy of 81 per hundred on
land values and the percent luxury
tax. The bill also esta bliShes in
heritance and estate taxes and a new
levy on motor vehicles by weight.
Quick Compromise Seen.
II prompt Senate vote on the
measure could be arranged, it is be-
Ieved House and Senate conferees
would be able to work out compro-
mise program that would tide the
District over pending a further tax
study at the next session.
The difficulty. however, is that both
the sales tax and land levy are sx-
pected to meet opposition in the
Senate before they reach q vote, in
addition to the controversy over the
Iydings resale price maintenance
rider.
If the tax bill remains in its present
legislative tangle much longer, District
ofncias may have to consider a re-
quest for separate resolution author
fzing the city to obtain advances of
funds from the Treasury pending
collection of more local revenue.
