FIRE CHIEFS MEET,
REVIEW PROBLEMS
Discussion Follows Spectac-
uIar Display of Explosion
of Dust.

After spectacular, made border
display of exploding dust visiting fire
lmen here from leading cities of the
East devoted themselves today to
.uneHclting talk about the problems
which make life hard for fire fighters.
Dressed in civilian clothes, the dele
gates to the tenth annual Convention
of the Eastern Association of Fire
Chiefs devoted the morning to dis
cuSsion of technical matters.
They spent the afternoon at the
Arlington Experimental Farm of the
Agriculture Department, listening to
explosions which rocked glass $50
yards away.
Under the supervision of Dr. David
]. Price, explosion engineer of the de-
partment, electric sparks set off sue
eesslvely two blasts of wheat dust,
one of aluminium dust, one of starch
dust and one of dried-blood fertilizer
dust.
To emphasize the Importance of
knowledge of what dust explosions can
do, DR., Price told the chiefs the
tragic story of Chief Burnett, 40 years
the head of the Des Moines, Iowa.
Fire Department.
Burnett, DR.. Price SAID, entered a
woolen and cotton goods warehouse
last Winter after his men had put
out a fire. He noticed an incipient
blaze on the floor and turned to
order his men to bring it under
control.
Suddenly" Dr. Price said, there
was an explosion of woolen dust. It
was over in a flash, but the top of
the chiefs cap was burned off. the
back of his sweater went up in smoke
and Burnett died the next morning.
1t was just little dust, but it meant
lot"

Winning Contract
By the Four Aces.
Careful PIay,

~ OCCASIONALLY it is possible
to capture all the adverse
trumps when one of the op-
~ ponents holds more than
either the dummy or declarer. Such a
hand occurred just the other day.
While North and South could have
made seven no-trump with no difficulty,
grand slam in spades seemed much
safer 1t looked as though it would
be necessary to ruff a club in the
North hand, and after all it is not
easy to count 13 top tricks, especially
with no long suit available.

When West opened a diamond, de-
elarer won in dummy, played a spade
to his ace and found to his dismay
that East held all five trumps. De-
clarer would now be able to make his
grand slam only if he could cash in
his top cards and then force East to
ruff in front of him. He played his
other diamond to dummy, but did
not make the mistake of playing the
third round, as East could simply have
discarded one of his two clubs. The
king and queen of clubs were now
played, then the third round of dia-
monds. East discarded a heart; so did
declarer. A small heart was then
played to the ace and the queen over
taken by dummy's king. On the ten
of hearts declarer threw his jack of
clubs, and the last heart forced East
to trump.
The rest was easy. Declarer played
his ace of clubs and trumped with
dummy's king of spades, East being
forced to play another low trump. The
ten OF spades was then led through.
and East's jack was finally captured.
East although holding more trumps
than either dummy or declarer, had
been unable to win a single trick.

Denouncing anti-religious forces
at work throughout the world, the
Rev. ]. L. McElhany, president of
the worlds General Conference If
Seventh-Day Adventists, appealed
for strengthened ministry to com.
bat "the elements that would sub
vert and defeat" the purposes of
his church.
Addressing students enrolled in
the Theological Seminary Of the
General Conference, Takoma Park,
he said:
"EvangeliStS of the denOmina-
ton are now at death grips with
1nfidelity, unbeIief and a pleas
ure-lOving world in which condi-
tons have SO radically changed
that faith in the inspiration of
the Scriptures has welI.nigh been
Obliterated in the earth. Our
evangelistS must face the doc
trineS of evolution, communism,
paganiSm and other strange
teachings that have been thrust
upon the world in recent years."

TAX L00PH0LE
BILL FACES
REVISION
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
international News Service

Scope of the Senate-House tax
committees program for closing
tax loopholes may be narrowed
by legal and practical obstacles,
it was indicated by members to-
day.
A series of Supreme Court de-
cisions may be necessary to point
the path to legislation closing all
avenues of escape from Federal
taxation sought by the Admins
tration.
The committee was slated to
complete its tentative agreement
on major provisions of the pro-
posed bill today and submit them
to drafting experts to be trans
lated into bill form.
Although high Administration
official hope to add 5000, 900, 900 a
year to revenues through closing
of loopholes, some members OF the
committee said that an accurate
estimate is impossible.
Provisions of Plan
Tentative provisions were said
to include:
1. Increasing the tax rate
upon both alien individuals and
alien corporations having i'm
come from American sources.
The rate may be boosted from
10 to 20 per cent, with rich for
eigners being required also to
file income tax returns.
2. An absolute ban upon use
of foreign insurance companies,
without assets, as a means of
avoiding taxes.
3. Revision of deductions al
lowed domestic personal holding
companies, together with an in
crease in Surtax rates.
4. A ban on deductions
through incorporation Of yachts,
country estates or "hObby
farms" with racing stables gen.
orally being classed as busi-
neSSeS.
5.-EIiminatiOn of $1,000 ex-
emptiOn allowed in reporting in
come from trusts, which would
materially affect only cases
where a score or more trusts
have been created.
PROBLEM ARISES
A possibility that drastic legis
lation on foreigners American
earnings might cause withdrawal
Of foreign capital suddenly, and
thus injure business, admittedly
troubled some members.
Members said that the commit
tee can easily recommend bill
which will make it impossible for
o wealthy person to escape taxes
by Incorporating yachts and coun'
try estates, but the question of de.
termining whether "hobby farms
and racing stables are actually
businesses is difficult.
The authority of Congress to
examine personal holding com.
panies and prevent them from
taking deductions generally al
lowed to corporations, was an.
other difficult question.

Britain Stands Firm
On Non-InterVention

LONDON, July 80 G.N.So.
Withdrawal of any major power
from the Spanish non-intervention
plan, designed to confine the civil
war to Spain, would mean collapse
of the entire scheme, Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden indicated
in the House of Commons today.
The British government lin
tends to 60 on with non-interven-
ton so long as the nations Of
Europe are prepared to do So" he
said. "Non-intervention stands or
falls as a whole"
Replying to bitter criticisms OF
the governments policy, Eden said
Britain would agree to no major
notifications of the non-interven-
ton arrangement. Belligerent
rights would not be granted to
either side in Spain except under
the terms laid down in recent
British proposals, which include
withdrawal of all foreign "volun-
teers."
In the event of a total break
down in non.intervention, the gov
eminent will summon a special
session of the House Of Commons,
Eden promised.
Demanding that the SpaniardS
be allowed to fight out their
civil war among themselves,
David Lloyd George and Mai.
Clement Attlee, opposition lead
ers, vigorously attacked the Brit
ish governments policy in a for
eign affairs debate in Commons.
Non-intervention, said Lloyd
George, World War premier, is
a complete failure" and must
break down in two or three
months"
ENCIA, Spain, July 80
0.N.S0!-Serious disturbances,
amounting to an uprising of ma
tionalists against their chieftainS,
have taken place in Granada,
Madrid authorities asserted here
today.
Nationalist planes attacked bar
racks housing troops who revolted
in support of the government
cause. it was stated.
Meanwhile, authorities claimed
heavy fighting took place on the
Cordoba front, where the nation
alistS were reported winning a vic
tory. At one point along the front,
it was claimed. 200 nationalist
were killed.
