District taxpayers are bit hot

the congressman don't pay income

Last year Congress tackled a
business privilege tax on local

not very well pass il directly on

pressure TO replace it with sales
tax which the customers would
pay.
But congressman. IN voting

By the Associated Press.

As an alternative for the Presidents
proposal to increase Federal spending,
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States yesterday put forward
"a non-spectacular, inexpensive pro-
gram" for business recovery.
The chamber in its bi-Weekly WASH
ington review advocated:
Immediate relief from the discred-
tied and repressive undivided profits
tax and from the business sitting
capital gains levy (Senate and House
conferees already have agreed to modi-
f1cation of these taXes)
Prompt reduction in social security
taxes, with the adoption of a pay-as-
you-go plan for old-age pensions.
Amendments to the Labor Rela-
tions Act to make 1t less lopsided in
its application"
The business mems organization
also suggested abandonment of at
tempts to tinker with prices" re-
versal of the upward trend Of the
cost of Government, and liberalization
Of laws governing the flow Of capital.

further subsidized competition with
private utilities and that an early
understanding be reached so that

mate the new Government spending

FOOTBALL COACH
HITS SELFISHNESS
Fritz Crisler, Speaker Before
Editors, Views Cooperation as
Key to Success.

Self1shness won't do, either on the
football field or in newspaper off,
ces, H. o. Fritz) Crisler, footbali
coach at the University Of Michigan,
told the American Society Of News
paper Editors at their final luncheon
at the Willard Hotel yesterday.
Mr.. Crisler pointed out that football
players were no good to the team If
they were out merely to make grand
stand plays and were not willing to
cooperate with their teammates.
The value Of football to college
youths, he said, is not in winning
games, but in learning something Of
value in later life-how to fight under
adverse conditions and to become part
OF team, subordinating self to the
general service.
He told Of team he coached which
was played OF its feet during the first
half Of game and went discon-
solately to the locker room complain
ing about muddy footing and a slip
perry ball.
The noted coach said he pointed out
that the other team had been playing
under conditions Just as bad and he
had added: God pity you when you
get out In life II this Is your atti-
tude--to look for an excuse and an
alibi."
The team came out and won the
game In the second half, which, Coach
| Cr1sler explained, was not important
the vital point was that the bows
had learned something which would be
valuable to them later.

Seeks Strong Ties With U.S..
"a Special Editions to
Be Dedicated to
This Nation.
By CREsToN B. MULLINS.


A movement for closer trade ant
cultural relations with the United
States is being launched in Brazil By
the Diario de Noticias, one of the
leading morning newspapers of Rie
de Janeiro, with "a special editions
starting July dedicated to the United
! States.
Armando d'Almeida, special repre-.
sentative Of the newspaper, arrived ir
Washington by plane yesterday from
Rio, where he left Tuesday by Par
American Clipper, and told of plans
for series of special articles empha.
sizing the importance of closer re-
lations between the two largest re.
publics of the Western Hemisphere
Senor d'Almeida is on his way tx
New York, where he will obtain the
material, articles and pictures for the
various American editions.
With the slogan, Buy more from
those who buy most from U.s." the
Brazilian paper is urging American
manufacturers to turn their attention
to Brazil as a potential market.
Dependent for Supplies.
Every Brazilian should be made
fully conscious of the fact that it /.
in the best interests Of his country
to promote trade relations on a basis
of true reciprocity" the paper says
Brazil is a large country with tre-
mendous wealth yet to be developed
Capital equipment is needed to mod
ernlze and further develop agriculture
mining, manufacturing; better trans
portation facilities are essential. Brazil
must depend on foreign sources OF
supply for this material. and should
give most favorable treatment to coun-
tries which supply in the form Of trade
balances the gold with which such es-
sential equipment and materials are
acquired"
The United States has been Brazils
leading customer for over 60 years,
taking nearly 40 per cent Of Brazirs
exportation annually. Purchases OF
more than $124,000, 900 in 1896 were
nearly three times those made by the
second-ranking customer, Germany.
The American export picture has
not been so favorable, however. What
was once American dominance of the
Brazilian market has been shattered
by the German trade campaign which
has endeavored, by use OF special COM
Hensated marks. to stimulate Brazilian
purchases from the Reich. The effort
has succeeded to q remarkable de.
gree, the American share in the Bra.
lillian market shrinking from 23.6 per
cent in 1884 to 22.2 per cent in 1885
Brazil ranks fourth among Latin
American nations as a customer of
the United States, being surpassed by
Mexico. Cuba and Argentina, in or

to have q reciprocal trade agreement

mously agreed to by your present
committee. That any attempt to
regulate their conduct after the tr.al
u over would be upjustified is our
unanimous opinion"
Discussion on the door indicated
many Of the editors did not feel the
society was justified in condemning
sound equipment In courtrooms. This
phase Of the report said:
1.-THE whole subject Of sound-reg-
Atering devices Is relatively new. Your
committee does not feel that experience
has yet made 1t possible to take an
unqualified position in opposition to
their use. It may be that the future
will provide some method by which q
faithful sound record Of the proceed
ings Of the court can be used to extend
the trial beyond the limits Of the
court ITSELF"
In Violation Of Ethics
The report added:
THE spectacle Of counsel, either for
the state or the accused, giving inter-
views to the newspapers as to their
opinion, or making radio addresses
during the trial Of q case, is plainly
in violation Of the acknowledged ethics
Of the profession and in the opinion
