BACKGROUND

| LII A AAtA ~ ~
Disappointing repenue returns
last March led to quick inquiry by
Treasury agents into cause Subse-
quentlv, department informed

ance OF tares had been employed by
persons OF large income.
At Presidents request Congress
held open hearings on matter and
Is notp enacttno legislation designed
to plug loopholes discopered.
BY the Associated Press.
The Senate today passed the admin.
lstration's tax-avoidance bill, designed
to plug loopholes through which the
Government has lost about 500 900, 900
revenue annually.
Approved after a brief and almost
perfunctory debate, the non-contro-
versial measure was sent back TO the
House for consideration OF minor Sen.
ate amendments.
Chairman Harrison Of the Senate
Finance Committee told his colleague.
the legislation would check the use
of personal holding companies, foreign
corporations. multiple trusts and in
corporation Of personal talents to avoid
income-tax liability.
The bill was drafted at the Presi-
Hert'c e~% ;.&
sional committee had investigated
scores OF corporate devices used to
escape taxation.
Adopted without Record Vote.
The measure was adopted without a
record vote few minutes after the
Senate convened. Not a single provis-
ion was Questioned.
Senator Bridges, Republican. Of New
Hampshire offered an amendment to
direct the Joint Congressional Com
mittee on Taxation to make q study
Of Federal. State and local tax systems,
with view to elimina ting duplication
and discovering new sources OF
revenue.
He withdrew it. however, when Har-
rison explained that such a study al
ready was under way, and that the
committee had made its preliminary
report.
Meanwhile, officials disclosed that
the Treasury Is exploring the revenue.
raising possibilities Of a boost in income
surtax on individuals.
These surtaxes now range from 4
per cent OF net incomes between $4,000
and $4,000 to IS per cent OF net in
comes over $S,000.0o
Ofhcials said it has not been de-
termined how much these rates could
BE- raised. or at what income bracket
the increases might start.
The Treasury has been working out
long range recommendation for re.
vamping the tax structure since last
Spring for transmission to congress
sional tax experts by November. This
study has been separate from that
which developed the loophole- plugging
legislation.
Purpose Of Suggested Changes.
Ofncials said the suggested changes
will be designed to bolster Federal
revenues to the point At which the
Treasury could roll up its first surplus
since 1880 in the next fiscal year. The
Government then could begin pairing
down the s36 900, ,o0o, 900 public debt,
they said.
Authorities predicted changes will
be recommended by the Treasury in
the controversial undistributed profits
tax on corporations, but declined to
say how extensive these may be.

The New York Yankees today
recalled Kemp Wickci' from
their Newark international Lea
que farm club to replace john
nv Broaca who deserted the club
without notice Sunday.
Wicker, who will be 20 years
old next month, is a sOuthpaW
and has won seven and lost two
for the Newark this year. He
was UP with the Yanks at the
end of the 1886 season and re-
gistered one victory while los
ing two. He lives in Kerners-
yilIe,' N. c., and grows tobacco
when he's not playing base
ball.
Broaca, bespcctacled right
handler who earned an A. b.
degree at Yale, had suffered
from a sore arm most of the
season, and had lost four games
while winning one. In his last
start at Detroit last Friday he
was banged for five runs and
six hits during the 1873 in
nings he served in relief role.

Manteo, July 10. -Manteo, with
revenge in mind, played one Of Its
best games of the current season.
and sent Perrytown home carrying
five to one defeat. Sammy Kee.
ace of the local team, gave the
opposing batters plenty OF trou-
BILE with his sharp breaking curve
and fast ball, setting the usually
hard hitting Perrytown team down
with five hits, all singles.
Scoring started early in the
game, both teams crossing the
plate in the first inning. Perry
town began fast, counting its lone
marker in the first half Of the
first frame, looking as if 1t might
give much trouble. However. the
locals were not daunted. They
shot ahead in their half Of the
same inning, scoring twice on two
singles, a fly to centerfield and
double. Here scoring stopped, both
pitchers holding opposing batters
well in hand until the last half OF
the eighth. In this inning, Manteo
scored lis last three runs on Per-
rvs long homer with two mates
on base. Perry's home run scared
we'll over the right centerfield
fence, through the tops of the
pine trees just outside.
Hitting on both sides was very
slack, however, the Manteo bat
ters got their safeties at proper
times to bring men across the
home plate. Kee, besides allowing
only five hits, famed four and
walked two. Hall was touched for
seven hits and two walks by the
local team, while striking out
three. Hitters on both teams were
kind of stubborn about letting that
last strike get by.
Perry led both teams at bat, Sc
curing a double besides his home
run, out of four times up. He was
followed closely by Hudson and
Davis of Manteo, with two each
out of three times at bat, and Mil
Ter of Perrytown, with two for
four. Miller was the only oppos-
ing player to get over one safety
off the hurting of Kee.

Boxing 1anS OF EilIaDetn ClCy
and Surrounding territories will
witness a card Wednesday night
at TcXaco Beach that in many
respects will be far better than
the one staged last "Wednesday
night at the resort. The boys that
step into the ring wednesday
night will all be in the best of
fighting shape. they will have had
plenty of training under Gkilltul
hands. and they will all be eager
to punch out a victory. These
three major points count up in
the boxing world and fans will
gasp for breath as the fighters SO
into swat it out.
In the eye-opener the same two
members of the Boys Club who
battled last week will again be
matched against each other. Lit
tie Hollis Baker and Midget Har-
old Pace are the contenders in
the 80 pound class.
The second fight of the night
will find scrapping Roy Perry
throwing jabs of all descriptions
at Ralph Ambrose. Ambrose is
another smart fighter that can
take plenty and hand out more.
These boys fight in the l0S pound
class.
The colored fighters have not
as yet been chosen by the promo
ter. Several bombers are working
out in preparation for the fight
but the promoter has not come
to a diSciSion on which two Of the
number will give the on-lookers
the best Scrape. Louis Sledge will
not fight this Wednesday night at
the beach resort in the colored
scraps.
For the special event of the
card Abner Riggs and Jeff In
gram will meet. Ingram won a
decision over Riggs at the TeXa-
co Beach areana last week and
Riggs is after revenge in a big
way. Each night these two swat
ters have been working out and
melting the extra meat from their
bodies. Wednesdays special event
is going to be one we'll worth
seeing.
William wild Bill" Spence, who
lost a hard one last week, will
march right back in the ring to-
morrow night and face Fort Mon
roe's fighting king, Roy Fox in
the semi-flnal event. Spence tips
the scales with one hundred and
forty seven pounds of flesh and
bones after two weeks of steady
training. Last week Spence
handn't quite reached his best
speed after laying off the game
of punch for some few months but
now Spence has found that old
jab and hook that won him fame
at Elizabeth City High school. Fox
is rated a Scrappcr of the the
highest class and as a boy with
a punch Of a giant. Fox and
Spence will be ready to mix it up
hot and heavy.
The final fight of the card and
the main event is one that the
local promoter was able to talk
Tony Barbara, promoter and
owner of the Ocean View fighting
club, into switching from his
Ocean View card to the Texaco
Beach card. Barbara agreed to
switch the fight to Texaco Beach
and will bring Carroll Neece to
the scene Of the fight tomorrow
Barbara will watch the main
event with open eyes because
Neese is one of his best fighters
and one that he is counting on to
mark up another victory. Neece's
opponent is Jimmy Dercole of
Philadelphia. Dercole fights Neece
in the l40 pound class, although
Dercole only weights 1877 pounds.
Both boys are plenty fast and can
take it on the nose. While Neece
is noted for his cleverneSs and
