at Emergency Hospital.
Attracted by the dense clouds
of smoke and the Shrieking of
sirens on the fire apparatus, a
crowd of more than 1000 persons
watched and traffic was paralyzed
for more than an hour.
TRAFFIC REROUTED
Scores of motorcycle policemen,
scout cars and patrolmen were
rushed to the scene. The blaze
started in the elevator shaft of the
four story brick building, occu.
pied by Ginn's Office Supply
Company, and is believed to have
been caused by a short circuit. An
updraft shot the flames under the
roof of the building. Smoke was
so dense that the firemen were
forced to don gas masks.
STUDIOS SMOKED
Smoke entered the intake of
the air-conditioning system of the
adjoining TranS-Lux Building and
caused discomfort in the National
BroadcaSting Company studios.
AS soon as the fire started an
alarm was telephoned, and as soon
as the first companies reached the
scene q second alarm was turned
in, calling out the fire rescue
squad. :

MOSCOW, July II G.N.S).
Far ahead of any round-the-
world timetable of the past,
Howard Hughes and his four
flying companions roared out
of Moscow into Siberia today
after a 7-hour-and- 49, minute
flight from Paris.
The globe girdling airmen
landed here in their racing
transport" plane, New York
Worlds Fair 1889, at HIP
a. m. (4:12 a. M, E. D. T.), and
got away presumably for
Omsk, beyond the lofty Ural
mountains, at l 80 p. m. (6 80
a. M, Washington time).
Soviet Aids
Prior to the take-off, Soviet
authorities provided Hughes
with Photographic maps of
seven airdromes and possible
emergency landing places
along the route he plans to
follow.
There was one false start.
Anxious to make up for time
lost in Paris, Hughes headed
the giant silver monoplane into
a strong wind that prevented
the ship from leaving the
ground, but after a brief delay,
he lifted the heavily-laden
craft into the air and streaked
out toward the east.

us. Board Charges
Deal for Loss

Q.N.S) The United States
Board of Tax Appeals ruled today
that Pierre S. duPone and John
]. Raskob must pay back taxes
totaling upwards of $1,200,0OO.
The board held that a series of
transaction by which dupont,
of the Wilmington dynasty, and
Raskob, former chairman of the
Democratic national committee,
had sold each other large blocks
of stock, could not be considered
eligible for purposes Of tax
reduction.
Escape" Device
Preliminary estimates by In
ternal Revenue Bureau lawyers
showed that, as a result of the
board action, Raskob will be re-
quired to pay a minimum of be.
tween 100000 and 100000 in
additional taxes, while dupont
Twill have to pay a minimum OF
4 100000. These figures may be
Increased after a more thorough
analysis of the boards lengthy
decision.
In effect, the board ruled that
DUPONT and Raskob sold each
other the stocks as tax escape"
device.
After '29 Crash
The transactions in question
took place shortly after the mar
ket crash in 1929. The boards
opinion revealed that in Novem-
Der, 1929, dupont told Raskob he
had large blocks of securities to
sell in order to record losses for in
come tax deduction purposes.
DUPONT did not want to sell such
large quantities in the open mar
