Lander, Wyo.-Before help could

an angry hord Of bees stung his so
badly that he died within q short
time. Physicians extracted 1000
stingers from his body, puffed al

TAX |NEQU|T|ES
RELIEF SOUGHT

Hours With Treasury
Officials.

~ the Associated Press.
The relief of incorporated business
from any inequities and unnecessary
hardships imposed by the undistributed
surplus tax now is the announced OBJ
jective of a House Subcommittee
charged with simpliflcation and i'm
provement of the revenue law.
Such relief was major subject in
q two-hour discussion yesterday among
members Of the Tax Subcommittee and
Treasury officials.
mo conclusions were reached"
Chairman Vinson Of Kentucky re-
ported afterward. But there is
general sentiment that that should be
DONE"
Consult Treasury Aides.
To aid them in making any changes,
the legislators asked the Treasury
representatives-Roswell Magill, Un-
dersecretary. and Arthur Kent, assist
ant general counsel-to supply infor-
nation on the yield and operation of
the levy since Congress approved it last
year.
The round-table talk also touched
briefly on modification of the capital
gains tax, which some business spokes-
men have criticized-along with the
surplus tax--aS contributor to the
current business recession. Detailed
consideration of it was postponed, how
ever. until the undistributed profits levy
Is out Of the way.
Also slated for attention later were
estate and gift taxes. nuisance"
taxes, which are levies on gasoline.
cosmetics and other articles, and ad-
ministrative provisions of the tax stat
utss.
Hopes for Early Enactment.
Chairman Vinson voiced hope that
. tax revision bill would be enacted
before tax returns are filed again next
March is.
1T is not our purpose" he said.
to bring in added revenue in ex-
cess of estimates that the present
revenue laws would yield. In that
statement we are in conformity with
the Treasury"
The subcommittee has been told, he
added, that the estimated yield from
existing taxes would be sufficient to
pay for Government expenditures in
the next fiscal year.
The subcommittee's discussion of re-
v1sing the tax on undistributed cor
porate earnings followed repeated
criticism Of the levy by some business
men. They contended it discouraged
expansion Of existing enterprises. They
also argued that it handicapped cor
porattons having deficits and those
with weak corporate structures, and
that 1t worked to the disadvantage of
companies coming out of bankruptcy
and those under contract not to pay
dividends.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY FENTRESS

Paris. UPO - one OF the Dig
fashion houses here has created
a summer wardrobe for the woman
who plans to pass her vacation
motoring. The essential point OF
this wardrobe is that the clothes
can be folded and packed into a
small space and they will not
wrinkle or crush.
The biggest item, naturally, is
the heavy top coat which can be
worn when driving in chilly
weather or can be used as rug.
1t is of plaid tweed made with
loose, easy sleeves and tailored
revers and collar that can be
turned up. 1t is full and loose
and can be worn with or with
out a belt. For warmer weather
there is The old-fashioned linen
duster gone modern. 1t likewise
is in plaid and is fashioned OF
uncrushable linen. Made like a
full swaggcr coat. the duster is
smart as well as being a prac-
tical perfection against dust and
dirt.
A divided skirt Of lightweight
wool is practical for cool days
with a matching suede packet
which fastens with upper
from the fitted waist to the
high neck, which is finished
with a small turnover collar.
This costume is worn with a
variety of knitted sweaters. The
same sort of costume can be
made in a dark linen or pique
print with a change Of short
sleeved tailored blouseS in one
of the dark shades of the print.
Chiffon is the best choice for
evening as the wrinkles shake
out quickly. Corduroy is a prac-
tical choice for an evening wrap
as it is less crushable than velvet.
For hats, the small, brimless
variety which fit comfortably on
the back of the head are best.
Turbans of twisted printed silk
are easily adjusted on the head,
protect the hair and are COM
Portable.

Germany and Italy
Send Ships t. Spain
Continued from Page One)

Mussolini's own newspaper, the
Giornale dItalia, said Italy would
send a punitive army to Spain to
"exterminate" the loyaliss If the
Valencia governme1., fsi to con-
troll irresponsible foreign ele-
ments."
Aimed at Russia
The foreign elements" referred
particularly TO Russia, staunch al
ly of the loyaliStS who was believ-
ed by many diplomats to hold the
key to the outcome of the crisis.
Should the Soviet, which MAIN
tanned a cautious silence tonight,
decide to renounce her non-inter-
vention pledge as Germany and
Italy have done - and plunge
whole e-heartedly into the loyalist
cause there would be scant hope
of averting a general war.
Germany sent fleet of mighty
Walships into the Spanish Medi-
teranean waters and other ships
were taking aboard ammunition at
Kiel and other Nazi bases, prepar-
ing to move at a moments notice.
The warShips of both Germany
and Italy had orders to fire to
kill" if they were approached by
any Spanish loyalist ship or air
plane.
Bigger Warships
Italy's fleet was in readiness for
action and MuSsolini was said to
be preparing to send larger war
shipS into the trouble zone to re-
place his smaller vessels already
there.
Germany, although her show of
armed strength was ominously
Warlike, insisted that her nation
al honor had been avenged by the
destruction of Almeria and that
she would not take any further re-
prisals unless provoked by "red
aggression"
Great Britain, working in close
cooperation with France, struggled
to liquidatr the crisis by a policy
of "stalirr sufficient time
ran clans NJ some new "il-
cidents" Nazi I. Fascist tenn
pers will cool, it was believed here.
Capt. Anthony Eden, British
foreign secretary told the house of
commons that Great Britain was
doing her utmost to prevent ag-
gravation of the situation"
Britain sent a protest to the
Spanish loyalist government at
Valencia, complaining of a loyal
ist air raid on Palma, in the Bal
earic Island of Majorca on May 26
in which the British Destroyer
Hardy narrowly escaped being
hit.

and had an extremely low initial
premium rate.
The rate, so low that Mr.. Roose-
velt described it in his veto mes
sage as "beguiling" actually makes
| it impossible now for the govern
ment to collect sufficient money
from the premiums to meet Ii
ability charges. Because of this
situation. the government has en-
Couraged veterans to convert these
policies into one Of six other forms
of insurance available to them
at the veterans administration.
Federal officials pointed out
that as war risk term policies eX-
pire and are extended by con-
gress, a new premium is fixed on
these policies The revised prem
ium. based on The policyholder's
advanced age and physical con-
ditiOn. is steadily rising.
The premiums will continue to
advance under this program, the
president warned in his veto mes
sage. until they become 80 great
as to compel numbers of veterans
to drop their insurance when it
will be probably most needed"
In addition. the president said
continued extension Of the war
risk policies would be a breach
of faith by the federal govern
ment toward the large body of
veterans who have converted these
policies to other forms Of federal
insurance. 1t placed the holders
of war risk policies in a position
of carrying their insurance at
lower premium rates than those
who have converted.
The reserves which have been
built up almost entirely by con-
Verted policyhOlders would con-
tinue to be drawn off to meet un-
due losses sustained in carrying
the loW-prenium policy" MI.
Roosevelt explained.
The house and senate brushed
aside these objections. Only II
Democrats and two Republicans
stood by the president in the
house after Chairman John Ran
kin, D.. Miss, of the veterans
committee. said Mr.. Roosevelt was
under a misrepresentation when
he vetoed the insurance bill and
appealed to members to override
the veto.
He warned that approximately
10000 veterans would be dropped
from insurance rolls unless the
veto was oveTidden. Support for
his contention came from Repub-
licanS and Democrats alike. The
vote in the house was announced
by Speaker William B. Bankhead,
D. Ala, who had returned to the
chamber a few moments earlier
from a trip to Alabama.

the edge of the opening and make
a pass at him with his hand as
he stepped back over the open
space. Another co-Worker, Leo

Dr.. Isaiah Fearing and DR.. M.
H. Bailey responded to calls from
the building and Mansfield was
hurried to the hospital in an am
bulance and an emergency opera
ton was performed in vain al
tempt to save his life.
The accident is the first to oc-
cur during the post office con-
strucSion, and. according to c. c..
Miller, superintendent for the
general contractor, the first OF
any gravity ever to occur on a
Job he had under construction.
The accident, however, recalls
another of similar nature but less
serious consequences which oc-
Cured at the hospital some years
ago.
Mansfield was not as lucky as
one Charlie Stafford, who fell
from the roof of The three-story
post office building some IA or
Is years ago and survived the fall.
Stafford, who was doing some
work on the roof at the time,
slipped and fell from the caves on
the northwest corner of the build
ing, turning a complete somer-
saulU in mid-air and landing on
paved driveway feet first. A brok-
en- or split foot and severe shock
were his only injuries. He is still
living here and is employed as a

Dear Mrs. Post: May l an
nounce my engagement in the

and am not especially attached to
any relative whom I would like to
have announce it for me?
Answer: According to best taste
you should write notes to all your
friends. and that is all. At least
it is net considered proper that
a girl send an announcement to
the newspapers in her own name.
1t would be quite proper, how
ever. to have your nearest relative
send notice fc- you saying the
engagement of Miss Mary Smith,
daughter of the late Mr.. and Mrs.
John Smith. has been announced.
WNU Service.

The ceremony will be held at
1870 a. m. $3.50 a. m. EDIT on
Thursday. Previously it had been
set for noon but the time was ad-
vanced today, presumably to con-
form with the schedule of train
on which the Duke and Mrs. War;
field will depart for their Austrian
honeymoon.
Persons who have seen the duke
almost every day since he ar
rived here say that his nervousness
in no way is caused by regret over
the throne he gave up. They say
his physical condition was vastly
improved by his vacation in Aus
tria. His face is firmer and health
ier looking than at any time in
years, and until his wedding ner-
vousness came over him he laugh
ed and joked frequently. All his
friends agree he is happier than
he ever was as prince of Wales or
king.
The Chateau de Cande appar-
emily is insulated against the
world and all its affairs. Its occu-
pants knew nothing of the Ger
man bombardment of Almeria
until Herman L. Rogers, the dukes
spokesman. was informed of it by
newspapermen.
So many gifts have arrived that
the duke has been forced to call
on his equerry, Dudley ForWood,
to help open them. A special mes
senger from Paris brought jewel
ry from the Aga Khan, one Of the
worlds WealthieSt men.
Monts will declare holiday on
Thursday. The town already is
filled with tourists and shop win
dows are bright with British and
American flags.
