Agreement Is Still Lacking,
However, After 3 Days
of Conferences.
BY the Associated Press.

6y luc ASSOCIATED Sre6S.
LONDON, Jan. 19.-Three days of
Anglo-Irish conferences ended today
without agreement on any of the is
sues dividing the two countries, but
with groundwork laid for further ne
.gotiations looking toward accords on
trade and defense.
Observers considered It hopeful that
the question Of Irish unity raised by
1reland's Prime Minister, Eamon de
Valera, had not caused . breakdown.
De Valera had q final talk with
Britain's Prime Minister, Neville
Chamberlain, and arranged to confer
later at his hotel with Malcolm Mac
Donald, British dominions secretary,
concerning resumption Of the discus
sions within six weeks.
Joint Statement Issued.
A Joint statement said representa-
tives OF the governments Of Ireland
CORNER Irish Free State) and the
United Kingdom considered matters
arising out Of questions already dis
cussed." It continued:
While no agreement has yet been
reached on any Of these questions,
which are closely connected with one
another, it was felt discussions had
proceeded far enough to justify more
detailed examination of q number of
points by officials Of the respective
governments.
This examination will proceed
forthwith and, pending its completion,
meetings Of ministers will be sus-
pended, to be resumed as soon Us
necessary data are available for fur
ther conversations"
Union Issue Shelved.
Chamberlain and De Valera tenn
porarily shelved the fundamental issue
Of uniting Ireland and Ulster.
The troublesome question was
pigeon-holed until after elections in
Ulster, Northern ireland, next month
on the issue of joining with ireland.
De Valera was to return to Dublin
tonight or tomorrow, leaving his de-
partment experts to continue discus
sion Of possible trade agreement and
the question of naval defenses on the
Irish coast.

Chief of Hague's Legal
"Brain Trust" Is Named
to Succeed Moore.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
JERSEY CITY, N. j., Jan. 10
Quiet and serious John Milton, chief
of the legal brain trust" of Mayor
Frank Hague's Democratic organiza-
ton for three decades, worked at top
speed today clearing up his manifold
affairs preparatory to assuming a seat
in the United States Senate.
Appointed by Gov. A. Harry Moore
who quit the Senate to start an un-
precedented third term as Governor,
the 56-year-old former legal adviser
to Moore and two other former Gov
ernors expected to be sworn as Sena-
tor next week.
He was named to serve until next
November's election, but said he was
undecided about running then to fill
out the remaining two years Of Moore's
term.
Political Adviser Of Hague.
Personal counsel and political ad-
wiser of Mayor Hague. who is State
Democratic leader and vice chairman
OF the Democratic National Commit
tee. Milton is commissioner of the
Port OF New York Authority, the New
York-New Jersey body which builds
and operates interstate tunnels and
bridges and port commerce facilities.
In 1928, when the Case -McAllister
Legislative Committee investigated
Hudson County in a Republican as
sault on Hagues machine, Milton was
mentioned in testimony as Hagues
legal and fiscal agent.
In Public Life 80 Years.
Milton. who never sought elective
ofice, is one of New Jerseys leading
attorneys and has been in public life
most Of the time since he was appoint
ed assistant city attorney in 1907. He
was corporation counsel from 1918 to
1921 and in 1923 became prosecutor of
Hudson County, the nucleus Of Mayor
Hague's State organization.
For many years he has been q close
personal friend of Gov. Moore and
Mayor Hague.
Milton's chief setback in politics was
the Republican State Senate's refusal
in 1928 to confirm him for a second
term as prosecutor to which Moore
nominated him.
From 1892 to 1885 he was counsel
to Col. William H. Kelly, then State
banking and insurance commissioner
and now United States internal reve-
nue. collector and acting Democratic
State chairman.

formed on the planes, but not enough
to cause trouble.
The rest Of the trip, the commander
said. was perfect"
The switch from the charted course
over the first Of the route caused them
to miss the U. S. 8. Reid, first of four
naval craft stationed along the route
for emergencies, but the planes passed
over the other three on schedule.
Warner Did Not Rest.
The bombers few in two squadrons
Of nine each throughout the flight,
always in sight of each other.
There was no trouble Of any kind"
Comdr. Warner said.
The commander did not rest during
the flight. He was admittedly tired
but commented:
If I could get a shot Of soup
would be satisfied"
The 126 other men were relieved,
and rested in flight.
Ground crews at this mid-Pacific
naval base handled the planes with
smooth, unruf1led efficiency, regard
ing the whole thing as routine"
despite the fact it was the longest
nonstop transoceanic flight for this
number Of planes in history.
As rapidly as they landed the planes
were drawn onto ramps. Many Of
the flyers jumped out and were re-
united with waiting members of their
families.

plans to fly here from the mainland
this year, passed the halfway mark at

The aircraft tender Langley, sta
toned midway between here and the
mainland, split the night blackness
with her searchlights to mark the
halfway station, which the planes
passed about Is miles to the south on
q great circle course.
Headwinds yesterday afternoon and
early last night cut the planes speed
to as low as los miles per hour. but
weather conditions which caused the
flight to be started "a hours ahead of
schedule remained good.
Seven officers and men were aboard
each Of the planes, which left San
Diego yesterday in what the Navy
described as delivery by air of new
aircraft in conformity with naval
practice"

Shantung Province seaport, as base
for drive into the interior.
A force of 100000 Chinese along the
Lunghai, China's main east-west rail-
way, blocked japanese efforts to con-
solidate their North China and Shang-
hal area conquests. Japanese columns

Japanese landed some 10000 troops,
large stocks Of munitions and artil-
lery, horses and tanks at Tsingtao,
which is linked by the Shantung Rail-
way with the Tsinpu, route of the
Japanese southwark drive on Suchow.
Chinese reported that Japanese
troops had withdrawn from 10 towns
on parts of the Yangtze Valley front
to join the column driving north
from Marking against Suchow
japanese and Chinese, however,
were locked in heavy battle in the
vicinity Of Wuhu, rs miles upstream
from where the United States gunboat

al Federal employees. Judging from
past discussions, there may be a pro-
vision written into the proposed bill
which would permit deductions from
the income tax for tax payments on
Intangible personal property holdings
II this is not the plan. the subcom-
mittee may consider adoption of the
income tax as substitute for the
Districts present tax on intangibles.
which now is producing more than
$2,000,0o0 a year.
The objection in the past to substi-
tuition OF an income tax for the in
tangible tax has been that should the
courts declare the income levy uncon-
stitutional, the District would be left
without either the revenue from the
income levy or that now being received
from the intangible personal property
tax.
Income Tax in 1910.
Early this week there were reports
that some members Of the committee
were considering an income tax to 70
into effect in the 1910 fiscal year, not
the next fiscal year. 50 the question of
It's constitutionality could be tested in
the courts before the District depended
on 1t for revenue
However, the understanding left
With Mr.. Nichols today was that the
levy would become a part Of the tax
program for the fiscal year beginning
next July l, and be applied to incomes
received during the calendar year 1888
Details of the plan, however, were
left to later actions.
-Four votes were taken by the sub.
committee. First Mr.. Dirksen moved
that an income tax be drafted as the
drst portion Of the bill. After this
was approved by q 3-to-l vote, he
moved that the business privilege levy
b continued for another year. This
vss approved by the same vote.
Mr.. Cole then moved that the 81 rs
realty tax rate be continued. The
came 3-to-1 vote ordered this provi-
sion. Mr.. Wood then moved that the
proposed income tax be drawn to pro.
vide for no exemptions for members
Of Congress or Federal employees
This also was approved.
