Mrs. Dean last night, and they
reached the conclusion lit would be
foolish for me to stay out of base ball
at time when I've just reached the

left in my arm"

Mr.. Hickey and Mr.. Breadon and get

Immediately after announcing he

When they reached the eighteenth tee,
Ferrell was beaten.
He carefully dropped to the ground

A status quo agreement, with
the intra-labor warfare to be
fought out with ballots, brought
the potentially dangerous "holi-
day" to an end. Editions Of the
Philadelphia Inquirer and the
Philadelphia Record failed to
reach newsstands, although both

before suspending publication.
The strike was threatening to
ruin from one and one-half to two
million dollars in perishable prod
ucts in warehouses. The pre-hon-
day business Of taxicabs was halt
ed. All trucks and horse-drawn
vehicles carrying overland freight,
such as newspapers, laundry, food

House Fights Senate
Tax Proposals

Beaten into submission on the
District tax bill a couple OF weeks
age by the House, the House DIS
trict Committee today prepared It.
self for a new fight on the sales
and land tax measure reported by
the Senate District Committee.
The new bill, as virtually re-
written by the Senate committee
not only knocks out many fea'
lures of the bill as prepared by
the Kennedy subcommittee Of the
House after many months OF
study, but also eliminates the sec
tic nordered by the House leader.
ship-the 20-cent increase on real
estate.
Two members Of the subcommit'
tee that drafted the House bill,
Representatives Jack Nichols Cd,
of Oklahoma, and Dan r. Nc.
Gehee Cd, of Mississippi, and
Representative Vincent L. Palmi'
Sane Cd, Of Maryland, new
chairman of the House District
Committee, promised determined
fight on the tag bill.
Entirely New Bill
Mr. Nichols, when informed on
the Senate committee action, de-
clared:
'Why, they have drawn an
entirely new bill. There is moth
ing to compromise on now.
"The bill which the Kennedy
The Washington times., 1937-07-03

subcommittee drew up was the
result Of long study and much
hard work. 1t now Is virtually
killed.
II am convinced that the
House conferees will insist ON
the bill ~ it passed the House"
Representative McGehee moi
only promised a fight on the
Senate bill, but also charged that
the revenues from the new fea
lures of the measure will not come
up to the committees expecta
lions, declaring:
"The committee Il completely
wrong about the SOC . lie d
luxury tax They say it will
raise $2,5OO,OOO. with the
exemptions on food, clothing
and medicine, I venture to say
1t won't raise more than from
100000 to $75O.OOO.
PROPERTY OWNERS HIT
"The land tax places an ad-
ditiOnaI burden ON real estate,
which is something that the
Kennedy subcommittee tried to
avoid. We wanted to broaden
the tax base, but now with the
land tax, the greatest burden
falls on property owners.
ut is also evident that the
sales tax will place an undue
burden on the poor man, despite
the exemptions"
Mr.. McGehee also defended the
House provision for a business
privilege tax, which was knocked
out by the Senate Committee
The tax bill as it stands now, he
said, does not reach the business
man, which was one Of the main
detectives Of the Kennedy group
PaImisano Pleased
Representative Palmisano waS
pleased with the deletion Of the
business privilege tax, the 2 PEI
cent levy on gross receipts, which
he fought on the floor Of the
House. He was definitely op
posed, however, to the so-calleo
luxury tax" He said:
cts nothing more than .
sales tax, and I am against all
sales taxes"
The elimination Of the increase
Of the tax on insurance was also
criticized by Mr.. Palmisano, who
pointed out that there was con
siderable unanimity Of opinion as
to the value Of this tax when 1t
was discussed in the House Com
mittee.

the opposition expressed by Sen.

Capper (RJ, Kansas, who voted
against the measure. Both men
said today that they preferred the
House bill to- the Senate bill.
Senator King and Senator Cap

privilege tax instead of a sales
tax and additional land taxes
Senator King opposes Senator
Willard Tydings Cd. Maryland,
who successfully attached his
national resale trade bill to the
local measure. Senator Capper
voted for 1t.
Senator King declared:
Attaching this measure to

FIGHT ON SALES TAX
Senator Capper predicted that
there would be q hard fight made
against the sales tax feature and
that If It was beaten the business
privilege tax might be substituted
for it.
If the bill is not again entirely
