Aside from studying proposed tax

activities overlap. Collins said the

tuberculosis hospital and the children's
tuberculosis sanatorium at Glenn Dale.

The subcommittee also disclosed 1t
plans to add several new items to the
bill which the budget bureau did not
recommend. One will provide funds
for an engineering study to deter
mine a location for a new street to
connect Sixteenth street and Con-
necticut avenue beyond Columbia
road, and the other will authorize
preparation of plans for q new head

SOMERSET, Pa, March Ga young
automobile salesman compared today
the police questioning of Frank c.
Monaghan with prize fight, as he
testified against State Policeman An
thony Sanute. charged with beating
the 64-year-old Uniontown hotel
keeper to death.
Red-haired Ralph Simon, an "ear
witness" to what the State called
Monaghan's third degree" to force
confession to cutting Detective John
G. Wall, said he heard sounds Of thudS,
scraping and moaning from the Fay
cite County detectives headquarters.
He testified:
"Well, I've been to boxing shows.
and it sounded just like that-like
some one hitting some one"
A jury already has convicted Trooper
Stacy Gunderman, Sanute's 25-year-
old junior officer. of second degree
murder for Monaghan's death, and five
other Uniontown law officers are
awaiting trial on murder charges.
Several other "ear witnesses" who
had testified for the State against
Gunderman, took the witness stand
to repeat their description of cries of
pain heard in the detectives Bertillon
room the morning of last Sep
tember 12
That morning, Monaghan's body was
carried out of the room in an under
takers basket, bruised and broken.

A Justice Department attorney fig
ured yesterday that-based on prece-
dent-the betting odds would be 81
to 4 that o constitutional amendment
embodying President Roosevelt's legis-
lative desires would be ratified If
offered.
The figures he wound up with on
his scratch pad indicated that 1t would
take anywhere from sla to 431a
months to get the amendment ap-
proved by the States.
Some administration supporters
have argued for a constitutional
amendment instead Of a change in
the membership Of the Supreme Court.
The 43l2 months mark was set by
the sixteenth amendment authorizing
Federal income taxes. Quickest rati-
flcation was that of the Twenty-first
amendment repeating the prohibition
act.
Should the court plan be offered
as an amendment, it would be the
eighth since 1900. All of the eight
but one, proposal to give Congress
power to regulate child labor. have
been ratified. The child labor amend
ment has been approved by 28 States.

crease in the tax on corporations and
possibly an income tax to be substituted
for the existing tax on intangibles.
Similar proposals already are before
the District Legislative Committee in
the form of the Mapes bills, which
have been reintroduced in every Con-
gress since 1882. The Jacobs report
also recommended similar plans for
offsetting part of the deficit the Dis
trict would face with the adoption by
Congress of the new three-point fiscal
relations formula.
The subcommittee, it is understood,
is definitely opposed 10 increasing the
present $3.50 tax on real and personal
property. Chairman Collins said
virtually all testimony before his sub
committee during the recent hearings
developed the fact that real estate
already Is bearing its fair share Of the
tax burden. Personally, Collins feels
an increase in the real estate tax
would be shifted from the property
owner to the thousands of Govern
ment employees who rent living ac-
commodations.
More Diversified Burden.
In view Of that situation, the sub
committee believes the tax burden
should be more diversified. A 2-cent
increase in the gasoline tax would
alone, he said, yield about $4,000, 900
more q year. A weight tax on motor
vehicles. he pointed out, would produce
another large sum, and at the same
time catch in its net about 10000
old cars whose owners now are not re-
quired to pay any personal property
tax.
Collins also predicted that weight
tax on motor vehicles would drive of

1 ded encouragingly as she raised the cup to her lips. Then as she drank slowly he backed toward a corner of the stateroom, sat there on a stool still watching her with a smile.
 "You-you don't need to stay" Martha said.
 The Chinaman nodded. T stay. You drink. Make head wise"
 She did feel better for having accepted the cup of hot liquid Finishing it, she put it down on the battered table beside the berth. ''Is Miss Haynes aboard this boatP"
 Miss Haynes?" The China mans eyes widened. Lady with corn -colored hair your friend?"
 "Yes yes, she is. Is she really here?"
 The Chinaman nodded. "Yes. She all right. You sleep now"
 T don't want to sleep. I want to see that girl. Take me to her now"
 The mans face slipped once more into impassivity. You sleep Girl all right. You see her when time comes"
 "What-what is this ship?"
 He grinned. "Mista Ciznik, ne own this ship"
 Do you - do you know Gerry Neal?"
 "Mista Neal? Yes know Good friend" Dismally Martha sank back on the pillow, stared at the painted street above her. "When will ] get out of here?" she asked list lessly.
 When Mista Ciznik say Unless revenue boats come"
 What do you mean?" Martha sat upright again. What do you mean, unless revenue boats come?"
 He smiled again. "If revenue boats catch up, then you must die" He pointed to roll o1 heavy chain in the corner of the room. That keep you down at bottom of water. So you not talk when revenue men come aboard ship"
 Martha paled. Has - has that happened before?"
 "Yes :" The Oriental nodded "Yes. Let us hope it will not happen this time."
 Why won't you take me to see Betty Haynes?" Why can't you bring her here?"
 Because Mista Ciznik say not to-" He looked at her oddly. "You ask many questions. That is bad You will know what you need to know, when the time comes" He lapsed into silence, appeared at times to be dozing. But Martha saw that periodically the slant-like eyes were directed toward her, that she was being watched as if he were cat and she cornered mouse.
 Thus they sat, facing each other, while the engines of the vessel throbbed. At last the knob of the steel door turned again, slowly. Martha's. frightened eyes watched it.
 The newcomer was Speddon. "Okay, Ling you can get go- ing" Obediently the Chinaman shuffled through the open door, way. Speddon turned to Martha Feeling better now?"
