status Of these cases, Mr.. Marshall
cited breakdown on yesterdays
2,066 applicants who were filed and
interviewed as representing a typical
days work.
OF that number 2l2 cases were
definitely rejected due to the fact
that the claimed unemployment had
been in the exempted occupations.
New applications filed numbered s72,
and 982 cases were continued; that
Is, the applicants had previously re-
ported.
All applicants for benefits are re-
quired to report on three continu-
Gus weeks at the Office at 928 Fifth

Mr.. Marshall said the mass accu-
mutation of unemployment applica-
tiorls probably will work itself of in

Excise Taxes Repeal Sought.
Recommendations with regard to
estate and gift taxes are contained in
the report and also the repeal of GER
tain excise taxes, after June 80.
The excise taxes which it is proposed
to repeal are those now imposed on
the following articles:
Brewers wort and malt sirup, toilet
soaps, tooth paste, dentifrices and
tooth and mouth washes, cameras and
lenses, chewing gum, furs, sporting
goods, phonograph records. sale of
crude petroleum, processing or refin-
Ing OF crude petroleum, gasoline re-
covered from natural gas.
The taxes on the last three products
which are to be repealed are the So
called hot oil" taxes enacted as an
adjunct TO section 8 (c) Of the national
industrial recovery act, but do not re-
late to the import excise taxes on
crude petroleum.
Estate and Gift Taxes.
With regard to the estate and gift
taxes, the subcommittee recommended
that the 1925 estate tax be combined
with the additional estate tax imposed
by the 1882 act, as amended. The
rates will be those of the 1892 act, as
amended. The present credit for State
death taxes will be retained, but ex-
pressed as a percentage of the new
rate, and such credit will equal as
closely as possible the present 80 per
cent credit based on the 1926 rates.
The new provisions will be applicable
only to decedents who die after De-
cember 81, 1899;
That the $4,000 estate tax-exemp-
ton be reduced by so much of the
$4,000 gift-taX exemption as has been
availed of by the decedent in his life
time;
That the credit for death taxes paid
to the States, permitted under the es-
tate-tax law, be taken before the credit
for gift taxes paid to the Federal Gov-
ernment;
That the amount of deduction for
claims against the estate provided in
section 3O3 (a) Cd of the Revenue Act
OF 1926, as amended, be limited ex-
preSsly to the total value of the prop
erty against which payment for such
claims could be enforced under the
applicable State law;
That the $4,000 exemption per donee
per year under the gift tax be reduced
to $4,000 per donee per year.
The tax which the subcommittee
Evening star., 1938-01-14

proposes to levy on corporations with
net income of not more than $25, 900
Is described as a normal income tax,
ranging from 1212 per cent to IA per
cent and l6 per cent on the first
5000, the next $4,000 and the final
5000.
Under the present law all corpora
tions pay normal income tax ranging
from 8 to Is per cent and a surtax
Oft to ~ per cent on undistributed
profits.
The subcommittee recommended,
with some notifications, that the capi-
tai stock and excess profits taxes be
retained and also a surtax on cor
porations which improperly accumu-
late surpluses.

corporations with net incomes of S25.-

taxed at rates graduated in proportion

1T should be noted that about 80

Peace Is Sought.

Shortly after peace negotiations be-
tween the C.. I. o. and A. F. of L. were
undertaken last fail. rank and file
demand for agreement was started in
the I. T. U. by member employed on
a Texas paper. The Texas proposal
was that I. T. U. members or locals
should write or telegraph to John L.
Lewis and William Green, respective
heads of the two labor factions, de-
manding that they either compose
their differences or relinquish their
leaderships.
The Star Chapel of the l. T. U. dis
eussed this suggestion and finally voted
to send such a communication in the
name Of the entire chapel. According
ly, their position in the matter was
submitted by telegraph to Mr.. Lewis
and Mr.. Green. Individual I. T. U.
members on other Washington papers
followed suit.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-The 100 1000
member International typographical
Union was aligned today in support
Of . united labor front and an end
to warfare between the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor and the Committee
for Industrial Organization.
The typographical Union is afiili-
ated with the A. F. of L.; its president,
Charles P. Howard, is secretary of
the c. I. O., but Howard last night
called halt to recurrent membership
agitation for a swing of the entire
union to the c. l. O. camp.
Will Stick to A. F. OIL.
The typographers will stick with
the A. F. of L., he said in an article
prepared for the January issue of the
magazine Printing. adding: Our
members desire that all national and
international unions should be under
one banner and work as a unit to i'm
prove conditions for the Nations wage
workers"
Howard also made clear that the
c. I. o. was not attempting to organize
the printing industry on an industrial
union basis and neither is it attempt
ing to influence the printing trade
unions to change their form of or
ganiZation"
The fundamental issue between the
A. F. of L. and c. I. O. has been that
the A. F. of L. advocates organization
on craft basis while the C. I. O..
favors organization on an industry
wide basis.

Concessions Due

may be disposed to make GER
tain nOn-territorial concessions
to Italy concerning Djibouti,
observers believed today.
French sources said the
French note delivered yesterday
contained three main divisions
but no specific statement about
Djibouti.
They, therefore, believed
France might, without yielding
any land, make arrangements
which would facilitate the use
of the important French Som
aliland port by Italians.
According to French sources.
the main divisions of the note
contained the following points:
l. = For juridical reasons,
France cannot accept Italy's
argument that the 1885 accord
en- the Mediterranean status is
null and void.
2.-France is not disposed to
make any further territorial
concessions.
3.-Regarding the SueZ canal,
France advanced the argument
that she cannCt alter its present
