The spectacle, a high light of King
Georges state visit to France, attested
to the strong bonds that unite
Europe's great democratic powers.
When King George reached Versailles
a l0l-gun salute was started. 1t con-
tinued throughout the parade, one
salvo each minute.
The King and President Lebrun
were taken from the station to the
reviewing stand in bullet proof auto
mobile f1anked by mounted guard of
colorful Spahis.
Queen Arrives Later.
Queen Elizabeth and Nine. Lebrun
arrived later by special train and were
accompanied by mounted Spahis to
the Versailles Chateau to attend. a
sumptuous luncheon in the Hall OF
Mirrors-where the Vervailles treaty
ending the World War was signed.
Vast throngs lining the route of the
parade saw implements of war the
French Army never before had shown
publicly.
They watched columns of trucks
swiftly pulling 6-inch guns on pneu-
matte rubber tires and mechanical
3-inch anti-aircraft guns with trucks
for ammunition.
Fifty infantry trucks. each mount

10 soldiers armed with repeating guns

ranging from tiny whippets to rolling
fortresses.

weighing as much as IL tons. had s.
inch guns protruding from their
snouts
Troops. including detachments from
all Frances colonial possessions, lined
both sides of the route to the Ver-
sailles Chateau and presented arms
as the King and President drove past
after the review.
The crowds cheered King George
and he saluted in return as his auto
mobile passed through double ranks of
soldiers holding back the crowds.

Congress Restricted.
The court delved deeply into the
contentious raised in the third count
before it finally overruled the Govern.
ment demurrer and held that the tax
was unconstitutional. States do not
have the power to levy taxes that bur-
den interstate commerce Justice Bailey
pointed out, but Congress does have
that power.
In legislating for the District gov.
ernment, however, Justice Bailey held
that Congress must necessarily be re.
stricted in its authority to conform
to the. restrictions that are imposed
upon State governments by the Con-
stitution.
Since the controversial tax is not
levied for the general welfare of all
the States. but only for the people OF
the District and since its burden must
be borne by neighboring States as we'll
as by the people of the District. it
lays burden upon interstate com.
merce that is unlawful, the court held.
Explains Limitations.
Justice Bailey said in his ruling:
1t Is well settled that Congress has
all the powers of taxation over the
District of Columbia that a State
would nave. 1t is also settled that
these powers are subject to the limita-
tions Of the Constitution. The ques.
tlon here is whether Congress has
greater powers of taxation than a
State would have.
I cannot conceive that the grant
OF power to Congress to regulate COM
merce between the States was intended
TO include the power to burden it for
particular community.
The tax in question is solely for
the benefit of the District of Colum.
bla. The burden of this tax will fall
indirectly at least upon those who live
in the States and carry on commerce
with those doing business here, as
we'll as directly upon the latter"
Problems Created.
The Bailey decision created a nun.

District, including loss of revenue.

R0SENDAHL HIT

Ickes Declares Change of
Mind by Naval Officer Is
'Curious.'
Bv the Associated Press.


Secretary Ickes said today that
Comdr. Charles E. Rosendahl had
changed his mind about the military
importance of helium after being
"wined and dined" in Germany.
Comdr Rosendahl, in charge of the
Naval Air Station at Lakehurst, N. j..
said on his return to the United
States that Helium had no military
value. He had been Friedrichshafen's
guest of honor at the Tooth ami
versary of the birth of Count Zepplin,
designer of lighter-than-air craft.
In his book, What About the Air
ship?" Secretary Ickes remarked to
reporters, Comdr. Rosendahl re-
counted the experience Of dirigibles in
the World War and added, small
wonder. then, at the high regard in
which helium is held as a valuable
military asset"
Ickes Insistent on Stand.
Mr.. Ickes, who as Secretary of the

helium supply, has refused consist
emily to sell the non-inf1amable gas
abroad until he has what he calls
satisfactory guarantees" that 1t will
not be used for military purposes.
The law which he is charged with
administering says this country may
not export helium in quantities OF
military Importance"
II can't reconcile what he (Rosen-

1T seems a curious thing that an

helium abroad, should suggest 1t vio-

MONTREAL. July 81 canadian
Press) The British pick-a-back sea-
plane Mercury took off at / pm, E.
S. T, today for New York from
Boucherville Air Harbor. where she ar
rived this morning on the first trans
Atlantic flight for plane of her type
She had alighted on the St. Law
renee River at Boucherville, IL miles
east OF Montreal. at 1920 am, E. S.
T., 20 hours 20 minutes after leaving
Foynes, Ireland, where she was
launched in midair from the back of
her mother ship, the flying boat Maia.
The Mercury. four-engined seaplane
operated by Imperial Airways. began
the 327-mile hop to New York with
no such help, rising gracefully from
the river
so Gallons of Gas Left.
In her nonstop flight from Foynes
to Boucherville the Mercury covered
2,7l5 miles and came in with 80 GAL
Ions of gasoline still in her tanks
enough for another $50 miles After
a 2-hour 4o-minute stop to refuel she
was off again for New York.
Some 1000 miles of her route had
traversed the North Atlantic, and she
came on to Montreal without making
her expected stop at Botwood, New
foundland.
Completing the frst of eight sched-
uled experimental fights to Canada
this year, the silvery seaplane cut her
engines and coasted into an area of
the harbor marked off by buoys.
A fag-decked yacht steamed out
into the river to greet Capt. Donald
Bennett and Wireless Operator Albert
Coster the Mercurys crew of two.
Throughout the night and early
today the Mercury. having been freed
by the Maia in midair over Foynes to
make the transatlantic dash alone,
reported her progress to st. Hubert
Airport near here.
Flies Out of Rain.
Only once, at p.m E. S. T., last
night, when approaching nlidocean,
did Mr. Coster report bad weather,
Then he said the plane was flying
through continuous rains" over "a
turbulent sea-" -Four hours later it
was flying into clear weather at 145
miles an hour.
The Atlantic crossing was accom-
plished 13 hours 20 minutes out of
Foynes when the Mercury passed over
Cape Baud, at the northern tip of
Newfoundland. At 7;30 am. E. S. T.,
the plane was over Cape Gaspe, at
the mouth of the St. Lawrence River,
480 miles from Montreal.
The Mercury was launched from the
back of the Maia, her heavier twin. at
Foynes at 2 pm. tE. S. T) yesterday
on the first of a series of experimental
flights to precede regular trans-Atlan-
tic service to New York to be started
In 1889.
There were head winds, fog and
some rain through the first half of
the trip, but they caused no trouble
to the trim ship which surpassed I'M
perial Airways' seaplane Cambria's
east-west time of IA hours "a minutes,
made on an experimental flight last
July q.
The Cambria, however, landed at
Botwood, Newfoundland, and it was
not at once apparent whether the new
time would be accepted as a record,
since the Mercury did not land there
The four-engined plane with pilot
and radio operator carried 1000 gall
Ions of gasoline, was capable of
maximum 210 miles an hour and had
cruising range of 1000 miles.

The Civil Rights Federation last

line was violently dispersed by po-
lice.
The letter recalled the Memoir
ial Day Massacre at the Republic
Steel Plant in Chicago year ago
In which ten pickets were killed
and scores injured. The LaFollette
Committee was urged to act before
the police policy of strikebreaking
results in similar tragedy here.

Eddie Hall Will Be ThreatIn

The city championships OF the

Hall, running on q track soggy
after a hard rain. romped the hun
dred yards In 10 1-5 seconds, very
fast for slow track. At the same
time Thomas was winning the
North side title in the hundred at
10 rs seconds.
However, both Thomas and Hall
must reckon with Bob Sawyer. the
BEDFORD speedster. Thomas beat
Sawyer Friday, but only by inches
Marsh. OF Pershing, looms as the
best in the running high jump.

Senator Charles A. Roxborough,
and a student at Cass Tech, will

mile.

John white. Hamtramck, al

1t was the contention of Schmel-

would have a devastating effect
on the champion, according to
Schmeling.
Well. as so many OF the other
stories appearing, this is just so
much tommy rot. There is no solid
foundation for the assertion that
Louis will be worried with the
picture OF his first knockout.
Louis Is a phlegmatic type of
chap. not easily excited 10 pas
sions. He's not the type to worry
over events of the past. The fight
or 1886 has been buried away in
the Louis head and will not come

him. In fact. Joe does not worry.
