u. 5. Navy Will Help
Raise 5unken French
Submarine Phenix
Rescue Vessel Pigeon
Is Ordered to Scene
With Skilled Divers
BY the Associated Press.

The United States Navy will help
the French raise the sunken sub
marine Phenix and it's cargo of II
dead.
Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, Asiatic
fleet commander, notified the Navy
Department today that at the re-
quest of the French Navy Ministry
the rescue and salvage vessel Pigeon
would be despatched from Manila
to French Indo-C China waters where
the Phenix failed to rise from a dive
on June Is.
The French ministry announced
yesterday the vessel had been located
near Cam -Ranh Bay. northest of
Saigon. 1t was about los meters
1920 feet below the surface.
The Pigeon, commanded by 1t.
w. B. Sampson. is the same type of
vessel as the Falcon, employed in
the rescue of 80 men from the Amer
lean submarine SqualuS, on Ports
mouth, N. H., and in the current
attempts at salvage.
The Pigeons crew includes skilled
divers.
The vessel has a nine-ton rescue
chamber such as brought the
Squalus survivors to the surface, but
this apparatus is useless in the
Phenix disaster. The French sub
marine was not located for more
than a week after the sinking so
that all aboard were dead; also it
was not equipped with the necessary
special matches.
Admiral Yarnell did not state
when the Pigeon would sail. Manila
is about 80 miles across the South
China sea from where the Phenix
was located.

SquaIus Court Adjourns
To Await Sub RAISING
BY the Associated Press.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., June "a
The naval court investigating the
Squalus disaster went into tempo
rary adjournment today to await
raising of the sunken submarine, a
task which salvage officers estimated
would take at least another month.
Technicians prepared to blow air
into the subs fuel oil tanks and
divers after many days of perilous
work, placed lines under bow and
stern preparatory to hooking on the
chains which will support pontoons
for the lifting effort.
Although the members of the
board of inquiry made no comment
on the evidence, testimony adduced
during the first five days of the hear
ing lent strong support to earliest
theories that the tragedy, which
claimed 26 lives, was caused by fail
ure of the air induction system to
keep out sea water on the fatal dive
May %.
Testimony on the last day was
high-lighted by the matter-of- fact
stories of divers who risked their
lives in the rescue of 80 survivors and
by recommendation from Rear Ad-
miral Cyrus K. Cole, commandant of
the Portsmouth Navy Yard and di-
rector of rescue and salvage opera
~tions, that new rescue and salvage
vessels be constructed for each area
in which undersea vessels operate.

Garner Reported
For Cuts in Income
Tax Exemptions
Soid to Favor 1900
For Married Couples,
$500 for Single Persons
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Vice President Garner is suggest
ing that Congress make drastic re-
ductions in income tax exemptions
at the next session, it was reported
reliably today.
Mr.. Garner contends. it was said,
that the present s2,500 exemption
for married couples should be
slashed to 81 200 and that the $1,000
exemption for single persons should
be reduced to $500.
In most cases, this would increase
the existing tax on married couples
with income above S2.500 by $50 a
year and the tax on single individ-
uals with income above 81 900 by
$40 a year.
The proposal would bring more
than 2,0Oo. 600 little fellows under
the Federal income tax structure.
Informed persons said the Vice
President thinks a broadening OF
the income tax base would have Two
distinct benefits-that it would help
narrow the Federal operating deficit
and would make a new group Of
citizens conscious of the effects of
deficit spending.
La Toilette Plan Rejected.
This consciousness. Mr.. Garner
was said to believe, ultimately would
result in pressure on Congress 10
reduce spending and balance the
budget.
President Roosevelt also has advo-
Gated broadening of the income
tax base, and has said he did not
expect action on the subject at this
session. The Senate turned down
earlier this week proposal by Sem
ator La Toilette. Progressive, of
Wisconsin, to reduce existing exemp-
tions to $4,000 for married persons
and $500 for single persons. The pro-
posal lost by 1888 vote, with the
Vice President not voting to break
the tie.
Senator La Toilette told reporters
today he did not think exemptions
should be reduced below the figures
he proposed, because any further
cut would be too much of burden
on the lowest income class.
Senator Adams, Democrat, of
Colorado commented that ''ulti-
mately the income tax base will have
to be broadened"
Leaders intend to set up special
Joint Tax Committee to study the
entire revenue structure during the
congressional recess. Senator Bark
ley of Kentucky, the majority leader,
has said one subject of study would
be various ase-broadening pro-
posals.
House Accepts Changes.
Congressional action on the cur
rent tax revision bill was completed
yesterday when the House concurred
in Senate amendments to the 81 $780,
100000 measure and sent it to the
White House.
The bill, carrying out some tax
recommendations of business, will
will impose fiat tax of 18 per cent
on income of corporations earning
more than s25 1000, in place of the
present undistributed profits tax
The new levy is effective on 1910 in
come.
The tax legislation also continues
