nifty to snatch pistol from one of
them and fire two shots which
brought the policemen to his aid.
The policemen captured the three
men. and later took into custody a
fourth.
The lieutenant quoted Pugliese as
saying he believed the attempt on

Army 10 Be Equipped
With Guns 10 Fight
Planes and Tanks
New Weapons Perfected;
Spunish War Lessons
Bosis Of Development

BY the Associated Press.
The War Department announced
yesterday the Army would be
equipped with two new and highly
effective" guns to cope with air
planes and tanks.
The weapons. fast firing, anti
aircraft gun and light but pow
erful anti-tanH gun rejecting mill
tary lessons of the Spanish con-
f1ict, have been standardized after
extensive tests.
Both are of 37-millimeter caliber,
hurting shells about liz inches in
diameter. A limited number is
being turned out already with funds
Congress provided this year. Funds
for others are understood to be
included in the administration
extensive new rearmament program
The antl-aircraft weapon. weigh
ing about 5000 pounds, is designed
to pour heavy volume of fire
against hostile planes flying up to
10000 feet.
$40 Guns Being Manufactured.
To deal with more distant bomb
ers, the Army already is turning out
some $40 guns Of 3-inch calibre
Heavy machine guns would be en-
ployed against low-flying raiders.
The lack of an automatic weapon
capable of going into action in
stantly and of delivering a heavy
volume of fire with an explosive
bullet was acute" the announce
ment said.
Permitting only a peek at the
weapon, the War Department said
1t was mounted on a four wheel
trailer which could be towed by a
light truck at maximum speed.
Officers who saw the gun in action
last month at the Fort Bragg, N. c.,
maneuvers said it could fire at least
twice a second and its shells would
spread destruction up to 10000 feet
on light contact with a planes wing
fabric.
Fired in Batteries Of Four.
1t may be fired in batteries of
four from central control system.
in the same manner as the so
caliber machine gun. Germany
tested one of the same general type
in Spain.
The new anti-tank gun, smaller
and lighter than the usual field ar
tillery weapon, may be towed be-
hind high-speed trucks or hauled
short distances by man-power. It's
two-man crew is protected by armor,
and, in action, one man loads 1t and
the other aims and fires. Altogeth-
er it is about II feet long, feet
wide and feet high.
The War Department said both
weapons ARE necessarily of intri-
cate composition and IRE typical
OF the time problem in procurement
faced by the War Department in
equipping our initial forces with
modern and effective armament"

Private Initiative
Need, 0'kahoney Says
By the Associated Press.

bS the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Nov. 12.-Senator
Joseph C. OMahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming told the American Finance
Conference Convention yesterday
Private initiative" alone-not Gov
ernment spending-could produce a
prosperity of income.
The total expenditure of the Fed
eral Government last year was s11,-
900 5000 900 in its effort to restore
prosperity Senator OMahoney said.
1T is visibly demonstrated that
s11 900 900 900 will not restore pros
perity when a national income of
$50 900, 600, 900 is what is needed.
Only private initiative can bring
prosperity of that kind. -.
There are two dominant fears
that confront us; the fear of mo-
nopolistic control of our economic
system and fear of control over
the activities of the people by Gov
ernment."

Secretary OF Agriculture Wallace's
special "Two-Price" Committee yes
terday explored the possibility of re-
ductng the Nations huge cotton
surplus by disposing of some of it
at cheap rates in a mattress manu.
featuring program.
Chairman Harry L. Brown told
representatives of the mattress in
dustry and trade in an Armistice
Day conference that some of the
Governments 5000 900 bales of cot
ton might be used for this purpose
The idea would be, he said, to get
a good quality cotton mattress for
sale at = cheap price to low-income
families.
Mr.. Brown, who Is Assistant Sec
retary Of Agriculture, said investiga-
tions had led him to believe there
was "a field for expansion" In manu-
featuring mattresses for low-income
groups as we'll as for families on
relief.
The committee chairman said
legislation would be required to pro-
vide loan cotton" to manufacturers
at comparatively cheap rate"
Redeeming Cotton Unlikely.
He reported there was little likeli-
hood OF farmers redeeming 500 900
bales OF cotton held by the Govern
ment as security for l2-cents-a-
pound loans made to the growers
in 1884.
The redemption value OF the cot
ton Is IS cents a pound because of
ADDED carrying charges, Mr.. Brown
explained.
he said his committee would
leave discussion of concrete pro-
posals TO others, including repre-
sentatives Of the industry and trade.
We intend to carry out our pro-
gram with the cotton industry and
have no intention of benefiting any
one group at the expense OF another
group the chairman said.
Nearly a score of industry and
trade representatives attended the
conference, as we'll as representa-
tlVes OF cotton producers.
Alexander Dunn of Raleigh N C.
representing producers. suggested a
program to make surplus cotton
available to relief families for home
mattress manufacturing.
Home Mattress Making.
His idea was to give a family
enough cotton to make two mat
tresses. The family would keep one
and turn the other over to the Gov
ernment for distribution to some
other family on relief.
Lew Hahn, New York. of the Ma
tional Retail Dry Goods Association
SAID trade representatives attended
the conference in spirit of CO.
operation.

ConnaI|y Predicts
No General Tax Bill
In Next Congress
Nuisance Levies
Will Be Re-enucted,
Senator Believes
BY the Associated Press.

ny tEe hssoclAte0 Press.
Senator Connally, Democrat. OF
Texas, a member of the Senate
Finance Committee, predicted today
that the next Congress would pass
no general tax bill.
Improving business conditions
should increase Federal revenues
and make tax revisions unnecessary,
Senator Connally said. He pre-
dicted, however, the re-enactment
of the so-called nuisance" taxes.
many Of which expire next year.
These taxes include such levies as
that on theater tickets.
The Texas Senator said he be-
lieved, too, that in the long run,
Congress would be forced to increase
tax rates on incomes in the middle
brackets and to consider lowering
exemptions.
There is no doubt that the Gov
eminent is going to need more rev.
enue and I think the place to get
1T Is in the middle brackets. in in
comes from 5000 to s25 900" he
declared. The rates are as high on
the big incomes as they can be made
without reducing the amount OF the
receipts.
The people who are making from
SIS 900 to s25 900 a year can afford
to pay a little more in taxes with
out being hurt"
Senator Connally said he thought
that any proposal to revive the tax
on undlstributed corporation profits
would meet strong opposition.
President Roosevelt served notice,
when he permitted the 1898 tax bill
TO become law without his signature,
that he would ask the next Congress
to restore the 1887 tax in some form.
1t was largely vitiated by amend
ments in the general tax law en-
acted by the last Congress.
Senator Connally predicted that
enlarged naval and War Depart
ment budgets to increase defense
armaments would win the quick
approval of Congress.
An economy trend in Congress.
however, is likely to make itself felt
on other governmental expenditures,
he said.
