War Tension Eases DESPITE
Arrival of Reinforce

BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
Japan has ererted economic pres
sure in Northern China provinces
OF Hopei and Chahar. Chinese
hare accused foreign po,oer OF at
tempting to seize control of area
in manner similar to Ddp Man
churid pds taken. Strained relo-
tions haze been near breaking
point by incidents" latest OF Which
rds clash OF japanese and Chinese
soldiers on July 7. Since them
skirmishes have been frequent.
Toxic has reported the provinces
are Dillino to sign peace pact
but the Central Chinese oopern-
ment at Marking says it miN not
recognize any such local agreement.
By the Associated Press.
TIENTSIN. July 24-War tension
in North China apparently eased
today, though the influx of Japanese
war supplies continued and seasoned
observers pointed to danger spots
where friction might renew the war
like dispute between Chinese and jap
anese military forces.
The Chinese withdrawal OF the 37th
Division from the Peiping area met
Japan's first condition for settling
the trouble
Transportation and other activities
in the Hopei- -Chahar district ap-
preached normal for the first time
since the tension arose
A japanese Army oficer at Tangku.
Tientsins seaport, declared. however,
that This war is not yet over by any
means"
Two japanese merchantmen were
anchored at Tangku unloading light
tanks and munitions on the crowded
docks that have become a vital part
Of Japan's system for bringing men
and war supplies into China by sea.
Add to Reinforcements.
Three transports were expected to
dock tomorrow, bringing more than
5000 soldiers to add to the 5000
reinforcements poured into the Hopei-
Chahar region in the past two weeks.
Japanese attempted unsuccessfully
to halt the unloading Of = German
vessel bringing rifles, munitions and
machines destined for the Chinese
Army.
On the south side OF the river fac
ing this hive Of japanese activity
more than 5000 Chinese troops were
quartered.
Observers believed the situation
south OF Peiplng was still filled with
danger on front paralleling the
anese and Chinese troops still rela-
lively close together. BY mutual
agreement railway traf1ic was permit
ted TO resume in this no-man's land.
The Toxic version of the North
China truce included provision for
joint ChineseJapanese action against
Communists considered here the most
important part Of the agreement since
1t would give the japanese army a
free hand in chasing down anything it
| labelled communism.
Provisions Of Pact.
Inc Japanese said Marking had ac-
cepted the pact, but Marking dis
patches denied the central government
had either seen or approved the agree
ment.
The Japanese version said it pro-
vided:
/. Elimination. Of persons "imped-
ing Sino-Japanese relations.
| 2. Complete suppression OF Com
munists
8. Strlcter control of anti-Japanese
organizations and education
4. Evacuation OF the 37th Division.

BY J. A. OLEARY,

The District tax bill is headed to.
ward conference today with indica.
t,ons the House will refuse to accept
the income tax and heavy land levy
approved by the Senate when it passed
the ever-changing revenue measure
late yesterday.
Assuming that the House will send
the bill to conference when it meets
Monday, managers for the two
branches of Congress will get to-
gether next week in an effort to sal.
wage from the House and Senate
measures a compromise tax schedule
that would meet the city's impending
100000 deficit.
They are expected to agree also on
borrowing clause adopted by the
Senate, to enable the Treasury to ad-
vance operating expenses to the Dis.
trict until local revenues are collected,
thereby preventing payless paydays for
District employees
Representative Kennedy, Democrat,
OF Maryland, who drafted the original
tax measure predicted last night that
the House would remain firm in its
opposition to the income tax, which
went back in the bill yesterday when
barrage OF senatorial opposition
forced elimination Of the per cent
luxury sales tax
What Bill Contains.
When the final vote was taken in
the Senate here is what the bill con-
tanned:
Income tax with rates graduated
from l per cent on net income up to
$4,000, increasing gradually to a max
lmum Of per cent on the amount OF
net income above s50,O00 Estimated
net yield, 100000.
A rate of $3.50 per hundred on the
value of all taxable land in the Dis
trict and continuation Of the $50
rate on buildings. The boost on land
is estimated to raise $4,8OO,0OO.
The inheritance and estate taxes.
with the House rates reduced. Yield.
100000.
Revision Of the personal tax collec-
ton machinery. estimated to increase
collections on Intangible property by
100000.
The weight tax on motor vehicles.
ranging from IS to sI2 on pleasure
cars, and from SIS to $3.50 on trucks.
estimated to yield Sl,50O,000
The Thomas amendment authoriz-
Ing, but not compelling, the Com
missioners to install automobile park
Ing meters on congested streets, Weld
depending on number Of meters in
use
During the debate Senators vera
under the impression the income tax
proposal would raise $5,00O,OO and
this estimate repeatedly was used In
support of the motion. District Off.
Gals explained last night, however.
that intangible personal property tax
payments under existing law would
be deductible, and these amount to
s2,80O,000, leaving the yield from the
income tax $2,200,00O.
The bill as it stands would REQUIRE
District residents to pay nearly sl0.-
900 900 more in taxes a year. Tho
81 100000 from the motor vehicle
weight tax goes into the special high
way maintenance fund, which now
consists only of the gasoline tax. This.
however, still leaves more than So
600, 900 OF estimated new revenue for
the general fund, in which the deficit
exists. Even if the Budget Bureau
ana Congress approve pending esti-
mate OF s389,0O0 as the Districts

sponsored by the National Consumers
League, New York, New Jersey and
New Hampshire enacted statutes with
in the past few years that are more
inclusive by virtue of setting the age
limit OF minors at 81 instead of l8,
and more specific by virtue of two
arbitrary definitions Of "an oppressive
and unreasonable wage" and "a fair
wage"
Oppressive Wage Defined.
In the New York law. for instance
the former is defined as "a wage which
Is both less than the fair and reason

than sufficient to meet the minimum
cost OF living necessary for health"

employees and disinterested persons.
Similar provisions are included for

is OF the opinion that ANY substan-
tial number Of women workers in any
occupation are receiving wages made

In each case, 1t is specifled that
