FILMS SHOW SHIP
IN CAPE HORN GALE
Provide One of High Lights Of
Illustrated Lecture Before
Geographic Society.

Motion pictures taken from the
deck Of an 85-foot schooner battling
100-mile-an-hour gales of Cape Horn
provided one of the most interesting
parts Of an illustrated lecture deliv-
cred by Capt. Warwick M. Tompkins
before the National Geographic So
ciety last night at Constitution Hall
Capt. Tompkins, with his wife and
two children. age 4 and 6, and q
crew Of six. sailed around the south
ernment tip of South America on an
eight months trip from Gloucester
Mass. to San Francisco. The motion
pictures he took were believed the
first ever made of "the Horn"
A great many of the pictures were
taken at the height of the gales when
waves so feet high and nearly third
of a mile from crest to crest tossed
the schooner about in the severe cross
currents of the straits. Capt. Tomp-
kinS said that at times 1t was neces-
sary to pour oil on the waves to keep
them from breaking and doing dam
age to the ship.
His two children, Capt Tompkins
said. often fulfilled duties Of full
nedged crew member. going aloft to
help with the rigging and scooping
fresh rain water from the scuppers
during a squall. The schooner Wan
derbird was forced back nearly 200
miles when she struck adverse winds
and currents sailing up the west coast
of South America, the speaker said.

TAX REv|S|0NB|LL
| READY NEXT WEEK
Committee in Tentative
Agreement on Profits
and Gains LevieS.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee, in tentative agreement on basic
changes in the undistributed profits
and capital gains taxes, agreed today
to give final approval to its tax-re-
vision Dill early next week.
The members went rapidly over key
provisions yesterday and finished con-
sideration of 1SO of the measures 334
pages.
They accepted subcommittee pro-
posals to retain only the principle OF
the undistributed profits levy and to
smooth out" the capital gains tax.
The two taxes have been the target
of severe criticism from business men
and legislators on grounds they have
discouraged business expansion and
investment in productive enterprises.
Committee Meets Monday.
The full committee will meet Mon
day to tackle the last half of the bill.
Members said that whether it could
complete action on it in one day de-
pended largely on the difficulty en-
countered in agreeing on one pro-
vision. This would put special sur
tax on family or closely held corpora
tlons with a view to penalizing firms
that might be used for tax avoidance.
Notifications already approved by
committee Democrats have softened
much of the opposition from members
who mad complained that the tax
would injure many companies not used
for tax dodgIng.
A remnant of the undistributed
profits tax will remain in existence if
the bill is enacted in its present form.
About 80 Per Cent Escape.
About 30 per cent Of all corporations
would pay no undistributed profits tax,
however.
Firms in this group are those hav-
ing net incomes Of $4,000 or less,
which would pay normal income tax
ranging from 1914 per cent on the
first $4,000, through IA per cent on
the next $4,000 and up to is per
cent on the last $1,000.
Most of the remaining companies,
which transact about 80 per cent of
the corporate business Of the Nation,
would be subjected to an income tax of
Is to 20 per cent.
The 20 per cent would apply to those
distributing no profits in dividends to
stockholders. The rate would graduate
downward, according to the portion of
income distributed. until the minimum
would apply to concerns disbursing all
Of their profits.

BONE ESEEKSBOOST
FOR RELIEF BILL
Will Ask Senate to Increase
Appropriation, Possibly to
$4OO, 900, 900.
Ey the Associated Press,

Ey the Associated Press.
Senator Bone, Democrat, of WASH
ington said today he would ask the
Senate to increase the $25o00O, 900
supplementary relief appropriation,
possibly to $400,000,O0O.
Senator Bone said he was studying
all available data on relief needs. He
added:
From what I know Of the situation
now it appears that the $3.50 1000, 900
appropriation will be entirely made
quate to take care Of the unemployed
until July l."
The emergency appropriation would
supplement what Is left of the ST.
5o0,0oo,ooo appropriated for this year
and keep about 100000 persons on
w. P. A. rolls.
Senator Frazier, Republican, of
North Dakota said he would support
move to increase the total, but
Senator Schwellenbach, D0ocrat, of
Washington indicated he believed
there was little chance of boosting
the amount.
Administration leaders said they
believed the amount asked by Presi-
dent Roosevelt would be appropriated.
They recalled that the House, in ap-
proving the requested amount Wednes-
day by 1928 vote, easily defeated
a motion to raise it to 100000, 900.
The Senate Appropriations Commit
tee reported the bin favorably late
yesterday, after striking out a clause
the House had inserted to forbid as
sistance to aliens temporarily in this
country.
Aubrey Williams, acting w. P. A.
chief, asked that the provision be
eliminated, contending that it con-
f1icted with present laws prohibiting
relief to aliens who are ineligible for
citizenship.
Senator Hale, Republican, of Maine
was turned down on his suggestion
that the appropriation be held to
s150, 100000, half of which would be
cash grants to the States.

AUSTRIA AWAITING
ACTION BY HITLER
Opening FatherIand Front
Membership Fu|fiIIs
Vienna's Pledges.
~ the Associated Press.

~ tne Associated PreSS.
VIENNA, Feb. l9.-The Austrian
government announced today 1t had
fulfilled all Chancellor Schuschnigg.s
pledges to Germany's Fuehrer Hitler by
opening to Austrian Nazis membership
in the Fatherland Front, the nations
only legal party.
Austria awaits now for Hitler to de-
clare in his Reichstag speech Sunday
that he will respect Austria's inde-
pendence and that Germany will keep
her share of the Schuschnigg- Hitler
bargain for Austro- German co-opera-
ton.
I'VE have done our part, now it is
your turn" is the Austrian view.
Austria's publicly known part was the
naming of five cabinet ministers favor
able to Nazi Germany, granting of am
nesty for Austrian Nazi and other po-
litical prisoners, and, finally, opening
to Nazis political representation.
German Aid Expected.
Oficials indicated the least expected
Of Hitler was solemn declaration of
respect for this nations sovereignty,
a promise Of German aid to help sup
press NaZi violence within Austria and
an assurance of economic cooperation.
While affirming by communique
that Austria had fulfilled engage
ments undertaken in the Schuschnigg-
Hitler meeting at Berchtesgaden a
week ago, it was made clear Nazis
must come singly to membership in
the Fatherland Front. They will not
be accepted as party or in group.
Officials emphasized that now is
the last chance for membership in
the front-those who do not join now
and persist in violence or illegal gov
ernment opposition are threatened
with expulsion from the land.
Opposition Continues.
Throughout Austria, meanwhile,
there continued murmur of op-
position to the concessions which
Schuschnigg made.
The conservative element Of the
front was embittered There was,
however, no unification of the Aus
trian opposition and there seemed a
growing disposition to wait and see
what Hitler had to say. His address
Sunday will be broadcast in Austria
Catholic leaders, at first dismayed,
are beginning to hope that Schusch-
nigg managed at Berchtesgaden to gain
something for the church. There were
reports from Germany that Hitler was
tempering what churchmen regard as
hostility toward the church.
The most spectacular demonstration
of the Schuschnigg agreement thus far
is that Austria today is land without
political prisoners.
Singly and in small groups the men
who threw bombs and wrecked bridges,
and even those charged with partici-
pating in the assassinatio of Chancel-
lor Dollfus in the 1884 revolutions, are
returning to their families.
The amnesty also freed some hun
dreds of MARKHAM Socialists, none of
whom love Hitler or Schuschnigg
Their release was regarded as clever
politics on the part of the chancellor.
