Chairman Robert l.. Doughton, D.,
N. c., of the house ways and
means committee said today the
new business tax relief program
may prove $50 acceptable" that
extended hearings will not be nee
essary.
The program drastically revises
the present system of normal and
undistributed profits taxes, retain
ing single 18 to 20 per cent un-
distributed profits levy for the
double system.
Four witnesses are, scheduled
for today's hearing before the
ways and means committee. They
are James Hill, Jr., of the Sterling
Products Co., New York; David
Broude, Boston lawyer; M. l..
Siedman Of the New York board
of trade, and Benjamin Marsh Of
the peoples lobby.
Undersecretary of the Treasury
Roswell Magill opened the hear

nue. changes proposed by the tax
subcommittee. He estimated that
in its single year of operation for
which statistics are available the
undistributed profits tax increased
payments about $3.50,
and probaly accounted for
an additional 1920 to $3.50 mil

Wave of Terrorism Breaks
After Chinese Troops
Flee City

SHANGHAI, Jan. II. (UP)-
The United States cruiser Marble
head stood by today at Chefoo,
Shantung peninsula port north of
Tsingtao, ready to remove Ameri-
can citizens if the foreign sec
tions of the city are threatened
by the outbreak of terrorism
which followed withdrawal of the
Chinese civil government and po-
lice in the face of a japanese adj
vance.
The Marblehead rushed to Che
fee from Tsingtao when the spread
of rioting grew critical.
Neither British nor American
naval headquarters here as yet had
any information regarding the ex-
tent of damages and looting at
Chefoo, but they were not believed
heavy.
Many police in the foreign sec
tions of Chefoo stood by their
posts to prevent natives from
storming the foreign quarters.
Chinese troops fled the city as
the japanese army, advancing on
Tsingtao, threatened to cut OH es-
cape from the peninsula, leaving
Chefoo in disorder.
Only a single foreign warship-
a British gunboat-was in the area
when the riots broke out late Sat
urday.' The British vessel had left
a few hours earlier and it was not
known whether it had been re-
called.
Armed groups of Chinese loot
ers roamed the city, firing shots
into the air. The police force OF
about 100 repeatedly fled before
the looting broke out.
A foreign vigilante corps was
in an effort to preserve
order.
Shanghai consular authorities
said there were 55 American
adults in Chefoo, and 81 children.
Reports indicated the Chinese
civil police timed their departure
to coincide with the departure OF
the British warship, which had
been standing by for several days
to protect its nationals and other
foreigners.
Meanwhile Japanese military OPP
erations apparently were being
eased. pending official announce
