under suspicion OF muTueE IOudy
as No. l suspect in the fiendish
triple killing of three little school
girls.
Dow was arrested in Los Angeles
and rushed to Inglewood for ques-
tioning by officers directing the
search for the degenerate who
lured the little girls to horrible
deaths in lonely Baldwin Hills. i
When word got out Dow had
been identified by two women as
the man seen playing with the
little girls in the park before they
vanished, a crowd rapidly gath
cred before the jail.
BY today 1000 angry citizens
surrounded the flimSy building,
shouting "hang him." Police said
they did not fear lynching unless
they secured further evidence.
Dow had a child's handkerchief
in his pocket, which Mrs. Everett
identified as having belonged to
her murdered daughters. He had
tattoo marks on his arm like those
described on the fiend by Olive
Everett, II, sister of two of the
slain girls.
His blue dungarees had been
freshly laundered and he had
scratches on his arms and on his
back and his shoes and socks were
stuck with burrS.

measure that might be blocked
by House forces has left them in
position where they might in
clude two or more of these sug-
gestions, hoping that the most OBJ
jectionable might be knocked out
in conference, thereby allowing at
least one Of the major proposals
to slip through.
Details of the amendments are
being kept a strict secret by COM
mittee members and the District
Commissioners. No hint as to the
exemptions proposed was forth
coming, but from previous discus
sions it is claimed members Of
Congress and certain Government
employees must be exempt from
the income tax provision if it is
to have chance.
The sales tax undoubtedly will
carry exemption of all So-called
necessities of life.
Other Likely Exemptions
The business privilege tax will
graduate, increasing with the ex-
pense of the business and carry
ing exemptions for concerns op-
Grating on a large volume of bust
ness, but with small margin Of
return.
The land tax proposal is almost
certain to carry exemptions for
small home owners.
Prodded by the Commissioners
to take some action so the work
of Strengthening out the real
estate tax ledgers before July is
can be accomplished, so taxes will
begin to come in in September,
the committee is cropping like a
drowning man at any straw pre-
Sented.
This has resulted in chaos, for
each member is striving to push
his own program.
Senator Willard TydingS CD
of Maryland thinks sales tax, ex-
empting the necessities of life, is
| the answer. Senator Author Capper

Following return of fire by
the Soviet post, the Japanese
ManchukuOans opened artillery
fire from the Manchurian
shore of the river on the So

This explanation was distinctly
at variance with charges hurled
by Japan and Manchukuo OIL
Gals concerning the incident.
The Soviet government pro
tested against the loss Of Soviet
lives in the engagement. Japan
through it's diplomatic mission
here, protested against alleged in
yasion of Manchukuoan territory
by Soviet gunboats.

(R.) of Kansas wants the income
tax. Senator Pat McCarran CD
of Nevada sponsors one per cent
additional land tax, and Senator
King doubts if any Of the three
are workable and leans heavily
toward modifying the business pri'
vilege tax as a last resort. He adj
mitS that as it is written in the
House bill, it is full Of inequali'
ties.
Utilities Tax Studied
There has also been a Sugges-
ton made that the taxes on pub
lie utilities be raised and some at
tention was given to this matter
at yesterdays session.
AS for the Commissioners, they
prepared a committee print" OF
the House bill for the Senate com.
mittee to shoot at. It contains
the business privilege tax with
various amendments, but with the
same rate-three-fifths of one per
cent-which they drew for the
House.
This bill does not represent the
views of the Commissioners, how
ever, as their original proposition
was to include a sales tax, and on
orders from the House committee
they substituted a business priv
lege tax and an income tax. The
income tax was knocked out on
the floor Of the House.

Troops MaSsing
Tension mounted to new heights
along the Amur River frontier
between Manchukuo and Siberia
today as Soviet red army and
japanese anchukuon troops were
reported massing on opposite sides
of the river in readiness for instant
action, following sinking of the
Soviet gunboat. At the same time,
widely different versions of the
incident were circulated by the
opposing parties, and the air
vibrated with charges and counter
charges.
One report, from Manchukuoan
sources, said 40 Soviet gunboatS
were massing at the scene OF the
trouble.
According to authorities here,
three Soviet gunboatS appeared
off Sennufu Island in the Amur
River and fired on Japanese-Man-
chukuoan defense works.
The latter returned the fire,
sinking one vessel. damaging an
other with loss of life, and driving
off the third.
With Tokyo in a high state of
excitement, wondering whether
this latest incident will signalize
the long-awaited explosion in the
Far East, reports poured into the
Japanese capital from all quar-

Honor Paid
Mrs. Kirk
On 213'

Mrs. Page Kirk, president of the
Teachers Alliance, was honored at
a meeting last night of the District
Public School Association for her
successful fight to repeal the mar
ried PERSONS clause in the econ
omy act. known as section 213, it
prevented wife and husband from
holding jobs in the Government.
I'VE learned during our fight
for repeal" Mrs. Kirk told the
assembly," that the issue is not
the right of married women to
teach. It is the right of women
teachers to marry. Thousands
of teachers employed through
out the country, women with a
right to normal human relation
ships, are forced into spinster-
hood by such laws as 213."
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, pres
ident Of the Board of Education,
and DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent Of schools, were present
at the meeting.

the trained nurses. cannot find words to ex-
press the tremendous admiration have for those
truly remarkable women Any doctor will tell you
that twothirds Of the battle to save a patients
life depends upon good nursing.
How the young nurses ever come through their
terrific training courses, in which almost every
hour is occupied either in study or drudgery,
without becoming hard and callouSed to human
suffering is more than can comprehend. But
seldom will you find a nurse who does not
radiate sweetness and patient understanding.
Night after night these women sit in cold rooms
fighting back the shadow of death or soothing the
pain Of patient whose case is hopeless. Jealous
members of a patients family often treat nurses
any old way, and the patients themselves often
whine and complain over the most trivial things.
Yet the nurse never loses her sweet disposition.
Nurses job ThanklesS One
When the patient is finally sitting up and the
last good-by has been said, the household usually
sighs, Thank God, that woman has gone" And
the nurse who probably has saved the life of a
loved one departs, and moves on to another
thankless task-always smiling.
I am glad the nurses are beginning to get an
eighthour shift. It gives them a few hours to
enjoy themselves away from the depressing at
moSphere OF the hospital or the SICK room, AS
result they return to their work fresher and are
able to give their patients better care.
There are so many fine things about the med
ical profession which admire, it would seem
difficult to be critical of it, The profession is
more than generous in donating its best talents
to the very poor who are unable to pay anything
for treatment. And certainly the wealthy cannot
complain.
But it seems to me the average middle-of-the
road citizens still are burdened too heavily with
medical costs and plan to write about that side
of the picture soon.

full of our own troubles when the doctor always
calm and alert, responds that we never give
thought to the sacrifices he has made to place
himself in position to help us.
Behind our doctors, we must realize, are years
of gruelling study and considerable outlay of
cash, which often entails sacrifices and depriva-
tion before they receive their coveted M. D.
degrees. Then must follow years of training as
internes, with little or no income, before the
young doctor steps out into private practice.
Doctors Last to Complain
Yet, doctors are the last ones in the world to
complain of their own hardshipS when WE are
in trouble. Day after day they uncomplainingly
continue their endless battle not only against
disease, but also against fear and stupidity and
the dstrust of neurotic patients. Not for single
moment does the doctor lose his sweet and patient
attitude toward U.S. really do not know how they
stand it,
It is wonder to me how doctors refrain from
giving some of their patients an overdose OF
something out of sheer tiredness and desperation.

nerve-wracking battle against pain and death are

Processing Taxes Again To Fore
Talking about little Mr.. Johnnie Q. Public,
taxpayer and consumer, Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace has made it quite clear that he thinks
it imperative that processing taxes in some form
or another must come back.
So by this token, it would seem that Supreme
Court or no Supreme Court, the Administration
believes this is the most equitable method of
providing relief for the farmers. The professors
or millers are supposed to pay tax the proceeds
from which would go to relieve the farmers.
In actual practice, however, the professors
waste no time passing the tax on to the con-
sumers i. e., Mr.. Johnnie @. Public. 1l-fed, i'll
