while the list was read, there was

Senator La Toilette, bitterly dis

made it hopeless to press his other

The excise tax re-enactment is
effective this June 30.
The perennial proposal of Senator
La Toilette, Progressive, of Wiscon-
sin to lower personal income tax
exemptions was shouted down yes
terday after the Senate had rejected
on 38-to-38 tie his amendment to
increase income taxes of middle
bracket incomes. Under parliament
tary procedure, amendments fail on
tie.
Chairman Harrison of the Sem
ate Finance Committee, who op-
posed the La Toilette proposals on
the ground they would impede en-
actment of the tax bill, persuaded
Senator Lee, Democrat, of Oklahoma
TO withdraw proposal to wipe out
tax exemptions on Federal and
State bonds. Senator Harrison said
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee would take up legislation to
remove the exemptions next week,
and he promised prompt considera-
ton if the bill should reach the
Senate.
Senator Harrison and his aides
got a bad scare on the La Toilette
proposals, as it appeared for a mo-
ment that the Wisconsin Senator
had engineered a coup.
Progress Followed Anxiously.
A record vote showed many hard
and fast New Dealers, several of the
old Western Progressive bloc and
enough other Democrats and Re-
publicans supporting the La Toilette
plan to give it two-vote margin of
victory. While the roll was being
called, many Senators anxiously fol-
lowed its progress on tally sheets.
Before the result could be an
nounced, clerk for the majority
obtained the final figures from the
rostrum and hastened to Chairman
Harrison. The Senator asked re

S365 Tax Per Zoo
Animal Foreseen
In License Statute

The Zoo would have to pay
the District $365 per year for
each wild animal it keeps, an
attorney argued at Police Court
today in attacking the valid
lty of the Districts new statute
requiring a license for wild ami
mails. The licenses cost 81 a
day and must be renewed every
10 days.
Attorney Albert Brick, coun-
sci for the legless newspaper
vendor, Eddie Bernstein, who is
charged with failing to have
license for his monkey, Gypsy,
also argued that a circus and
keepers of white mice for pets
would have to have licenses un-
der the statute.
Judge John P. Mcmahon over
ruled the motion, however, and

Washington Jan. 16.-(AP)-
The Civil AerOnautics Authority
put five more schools today on the
list of institutions which will I'M

phases of a program intended even

10000 school and college students

The five were the Universities

Junior College in California.
With eight previously named,
the schools will select an aSgre-
gate of $50 students for training,
using 100000 of National Youth

Unofficial, but apparently author;-
tative, information indicates that
Governor Clyde r. Hoey is more than
friendly to the State boards bill,
though it is considered only an out
side possibility that the governor will
take any very aggressive or public
stand beyond his already expressed
views.
Chances Uncertain.
Chances for enactment of the meas
ure appear to lie largely on legisla-
tive developments in the near future.
AS of today majority of both houses
would be likely to vote for the State
Boards plan, but there is, ais always,
a tremendous volume of western OBJ
position to any action which would
break the strangle hold now held on
these counties by groups now in pow
er. Publicly, this groups opposition
is based on the necessity of free use
of the absentee ballot to beat the Re-
publicans. More often than not, how
ever, the real motive is to preserve
control of the Democratic machinery
in the primaries.
If there should develop any other
issue on which the rabid westerners
could swap their votes in exchange
for votes against absentee changes
chances of any election reform will.
be by that much diminished.
Already there is talk, though it
seems mostly idle rumor that Eastern
ABC representatives are planning to
vote against reform of the election
laws, provided the western -hards
