Is being made on all fronts, there are
still many prospects to be heard from.
A feature of the drive WAS heard
over station WJSV last night when
DR.. Hans Kinder and part of the
orchestra gave a brief concert, and
Senator Radcliffe of Maryland spoke
on behalf Of the campaign.
The Maryland Senator declared that
since the orchestra is the National
Symphony Orchestra, it should be an
expression Of the highest cultural de-
velopment not only of the municipal
ity, but of the Nation as whole
Paul Whiteman, whose orchestra will
be heard with the symphony tomorrow
night, will be guest of honor at the
third report luncheon tomorrow ct
the Raleigh Hotel
John R. Hill, reporting $500 in new
gifts from the Mems Business Commit
tee, explained that many businesses
and firms planning to subscribe to the
orchestra's fund could not announce
their amounts before midWeek.
Mrs. Miriam Hilton of the Educa-
ton Committee reported enthusiasm
in both public and private schools
Teachers and students are rallying
TO the support of the orchestra, she
said. Many of the schools. before the
campaign ends, will turn in SIS mem
berships to the National symphony
Orchestra Association, she predicted.
New contributions reported by the
several committees were as follows:
Special Gifts, $40 $50; Mems Business,

c. C. Cappel, manager of the or
chestra, told the workers that
"Whiteman is most keenly interested
in our orchestra and has assured me
he will do everything he can during
his stay in the Capital to advance our
campaign"
Harold A. Brooks. campaign vice
chairman. told the workers that,
while the response 10 the present
time is most graufying-the time has
come to speed up our drive.
Let's show Paul Whiteman on
Wednesday that We mean business"
said Brooks. We can do that by
bringing in reports that will total
$4,000 or more-and l am sure We
can do that because our campaign
organization is now running very
eficiently."

BONUS HOAX LAID
TO D. c. RESIDENT
Charged With Having Oh.
tanned Over $4,000 by
FORGING Veterans Name.

Charged with having obtained more
than $4,000 in pensions and bonuses
by forging the name Of = World War
veteran, Irwin B. F. Rosen, Is, of the
zoo block Of Second street southeast
yesterday was remanded to jail in lieu
OF $4,000 bond set by United States
Commissioner Needham C. Turnage
pending further hearing March 70.
Rosen's case was said by Secret
Service ofiicialS who arrested him in
4 downtown hotel several days ago to
be one OF the strangest growing out
Of the World War.
With the exception Of some 5000 in
bonus certificates. which he aileeedly
secured under false pretenSes, Rosen,
officials charge, obtained the remain
der OF the money in comparatively
small sums during the period since
the war. Much of 1t, the oficials say,
WAS paid in pensions. which at one
time amounted TO approximately 500
4 month.
Rosen Is alleged to have used the
name of Benjamin Feirins OF New
York in obtaining the money.
Although he denied the charge, offi-
cials said he must have applied for
4 certificate in Feiring's name shortly
after the war.
Feiring. who is understood to be
well-to-do. is said never to have
applied for compensation. When he
applied for his bonus, however, 1t
was discovered that both the COM
pensation and the bonus already had
been drawn. Examination OF finger
prints revealed the alleged hoax.
Apparently Rosen had obtained 4
copy of Feiring's discharge papers
and set out to impersonate the vet
eran, Treasury authorities explained.
Yesterday before Commissioner
Turnage and at the time of his arrest,
Rosen insisted he was FeirinR.
Treasury Department agents will at
tempt to have Feiring come here from
New York for the second hearing.

D. c. TAX RETURNS
INCREASE 10000
All Records on Income Lev.
les Are Believed Broken
This Year,

As Treasury estimates placed the
number of income tax returns made
before the deadline last midnight at
about 6.500,o0O, it was learned that
Washington taxpayers. filing through
the local deputy collectors ONCE here,
made more than 10000 returns In ex-
cess Of last years total.
If Treasury estimates of ss40, 900 900
tax collections this month for the
country are borne out, 1t would mean
they would more than double last
years figures and be 1854 1000, 900 over
1929.
Treasury figures today showed rev.
enues between July /. 1896, and last
Saturday, totaIed S3.002, 2,344,350, Of
which ssl9,34s,S35 came from income
taxes. March income tax collections
reported through last Saturday totaled
s1l2,s5o.ss2, or s27,s32,3sl more than
the san1e period last year
At the Office of Deputy Collector A.
Parks Rasin, In the Internal Revenue
Building, the crowd kept up until
about 1890 pm, with most OF the
force of 70 experts busy helping the
taxpayers with returns. A few more
came in later and by midnight, when
the door was closed, there were two
persons on hand, a man and a woman,
to make out the last two returns.
Increases Shown.
A check-up Of figures on the local
off1ce showed that the number of re-
turns increased from 45ls on March
IS last year to 6,3l4 yesterday q gain
of l,796 in one day
For the month preceding March Is
the number OF returns increased from
36,098 last year to 46.ls5 this wear, 4
rise Of l0,087.
Treasury officials began scrutinizing
closely the decision yesterday by the
Supreme Court ruling that an employe
OF 4 city water works system is ex-
empt from Federal income taxation
Charles T. Russell. chief OF the in
come tax unit, said the decision would
be scrutinized closely to determine its
effect on Federal revenues. He added,
however, that no large-scale refunding
OF taxes is anticipated.
Regular employees of city and State
governments have been exempt from
income taxes in the past and officials
sought to ascertain how much this ex-
emption would be broadened by the
courts ruling yesterday.

BY contrast. section I (a) OF the
AcReynolds bill specifies that move
ment OF certain designated articles in
American ships shall become unlaw-
full except under such limitations
and exceptions a. the President may
prescribe"
Section (b) OF the McReynolds
measure contains the same discre ton
ary clause about limitations and ex-
ceptions" and further specifies that
that provision of the act instead of
becoming effective automatically does
not become effective until such time
4. the President fnds 1t essential for
preservation Of .ecurity, peace and
neutrality.
An illustration Of how these differ
ing provisions might work out was
given by Representative McReynolds
during debate in the House last Fri
day.
Referring to the ban on tranSporta-
ton OF certain articles to belligerent
countries in American ships, Mercy
noldS cited the working OF this pro-
hIb1tion in the event England, aided
by Canada, were at war. Assuming
naval activity in waters adjacent to
England, the ban might be invoked
against shipping by vessels OF Ameri-
can registry in that area. With no
discretion allowed as in the Pittman
bill, the ban automatically would ap-
nfV In HaroHioy
Great Lakes and normal commerce
betNee such ports as Detroit and To-
ronto would be interrupted
Under the exceptions allowed in the
House bill. Great Lakes shipping
might be excluded from terms of the
prohibition.
Loan Solicitation Banned.
The same Illustration was applied to
the cash-and-carry requirement con-
tanned in the specification that title
must pass to foreign hands.
In one case, that OF an embargo
against loans and credits to all bellig-
erents, the McReynolds bill goes . step
farther than the Pittman measure In
banning solicitation OF contributions
for any belligerent,
Both measures prohibit American
citizens from travelling on vessels Of
belligerents, with the Pittman version
extending to aircraft. Both give the
President authority to prevent Aneri-
can ports from being used as supply
stations for belligerent vessels and
both specify that the law does not
apply to an American republic en-
gased in war against . non-American
state. Both prohibit American vessels
from carrying arms. ammunition and
implements Of war to belligerent, but
only the Pittman bill contains . pro-
hibition against arming Of American
nsrchAnt vessels.

BY JOHN c. henry.

DI JUN T.. nENhY.
Although the Senate displayed its
willingness BY the convincing vote OF
os to 6 to have the Nations neutrality
policy established rigidiy law, such
as that cf the Pittsnan bill. the Por-
eign Affairs Committee Of the House
has reported and seems likely TO eject
the passage Of 4 much more flexible
piece Of legislation.
Basically, the measures are similar
and their objective is the common one
OF keeping American lives and prop
erty out Of wartime danger with the
inevitable consequences Of bad feeling,
demands for protection and probAbl
involvement In another conflict.
Each measure, for instance, pro-
vides = mandatory embargo against
export OF arms, ammunition and i'm
plements OF var to belligerents, either
foreign nations or factions In = civil
strife. In this provision, however, the
Pittman bill possesses the element Of
rigidity in stating that the arms, am
munition and implements 10 affected
shall be those enumerated IN the presi-
Dental proclamation Of April 10, 1886.
The House bill, on the other hand,
specifies that the President may
enumerate the embargoed supplies on
each occasion. a difference which not
only allows presidential discretion, but
also allows greater effectiveness in
event implements Of war not snumsr-
atsd On April 10, 1896, are devised
in the future.
Each Extends Embargo.
Each bill also carries an extension
Of the embargo principle to articles
or materials" In addition to those of
direct warlike use in other words, to
foodstuns and raw materials o es-
sential to prosecution of . war And
each, in the same aection, specifies
that 4 policy of cash and carry be
applied in connection with these addi-
tional articles to the extent that they
shall not be transported in American
vsssek and that full title to them must
be acquired by q foreign government
before shipment may be made.
In that section. however. the ma jor
differences between the House and
Senate bills follow:
In section 2 (a) of the Pittman
measure no exceptions or limitations
are allowed In the han on trnasporta-
ton in American vesseh or articles o.
materials designated by the President.
In section 2 (b) OF the Pittman
measure there u Likewise DO leeway
for exceptions or limitations In the
requirement that full title must pass
out Of American hands before ship
n1ent u made. Furthermore, this sec-
ton Of the PittmAn bill becomes effec-
tive automatically upon declaration Of
ths mandatory embargo on export Of
arms, ammunition and implements Of
