BOMB SON OF
chamberlain
Blast Rocks Hotel
As He Sleeps

TRALEE, Fire, Jan. 10 G.N.S).
The life Of Frank Chamberlain,
son Of British Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain, was endan-
gered today by the explosion Of a
crude homemade bomb in what
local authorities saw as a. demon
stration against the foreign poll
cies of the British government.
Chamberlain was not injured by
the violent blast, which shattered
hundreds Of windows in Hawney's
private hotel, where he is vaca-
tioning. The explosion took place
at $3.50 a. m. behind the hotel in
this southwestern Irish town just
north Of the Lakes of Killarney.
Outr0ges Feared
Officials Of the Tralee civic
guard revealed that they had
feared a demonstration against
the British prime minister by
Irish opponents of his policies
through some sort Of action against
his son.
'"The bombing" it was said by
officials, "Was seriously intended,
and not In the nature Of any prank
demonstration. Three detectives
have been guarding Chamberlain
nigilt and day sinus he arrived
In Tralee on Monday"
Police secured the District for
the perpetrators Of the explosion.
They found parts Of a crude bomb
similar to those discovered after
several Of the recent explosions in
England, and worked ON the
theory that the outrage might be
the work Of Irish republican army
agitatorS. :
Chamberlain left at 8 a. m. for
o shooting expedition, none the
worse for his experience.
Detectives Nearby
The daring Of the persons re-
sponSible for the bombing was
said by police to be illustrated
by the fact that detectives were
known to be nearby when the
bomb was set.
One detective was inside the
hotel and others were prowling
nearby streets. Moreover. Haw-
ney's hotel is directly opposite the
civic guard barracks.
The bomb apparently was placed
on a wooden gate in a blind alley
behind the hotel. Mrs. Mary Haw-
ney. proprietress Of the hotel, said
"the noise of the explosion was
like thunder
Several persons in nearby houses
were thrown out Of bed by force
Of the blast, and several walls and
ceilings collapsed. In the hotel
there was comparatively little
damage.

ReinfOrcements on Way
In a desperate move to bolster
its weakened lines. the Spanish
government was reported bringing
four shiploads Of military rein
forcements up the east coast from
the Valencia and Madrid fronts to
Barcelona.
The ships are attempting to run
the inSurgent naval blockade.
Comprising $4,000 troops, the
reinforcements were placed aboard
the transports at Valencia. Forty
eight thousand more will follow,
it was stated.
This line has served as a main
artery for transporting supplies
from France to the Spanish gov

The Chief Executive expressed
the opinion that judicial decision
alone might permit elimination Of
these immunities, but he said
clarifying legislation would be
necessary to supplement these
decisions.
Mr.. RooSevelt'S message was
Immediately prompted by the Su.
preme Court decision in the Port
of New York authority case which
held the salary of an employe Of
that agency was taxable by the
Federal Government. as well as
interest on its bonds.
Must Act Promptly
He warned that unless Congress
acted promptly the Secretary Of
the Treasury would be obliged
under that decision to collect
back taxes for at least three years
on the employees Of many state
agencies and the security holders
of many state corporate instru.
mentalities who mistakenly but
in good faith believed they were
tax-exempt."
Opposes Amendment
Mr.. Roosevelt indicated he does
not hold with the theory that o
constitutional. amendment is nee
essary to eliminate tax exemp-
tions.
1.-The tax immunities hereto
fore accorded to private income
derived from Government Securt-
ties or Government employment
are not inexorable requirements
of the Constitution" he said. II
repeat that it is not unreaSon-
able to hope that judicial decis-
ion would permit the elimina-
ton of these immunitieS.
1T is obvious, however, that
these inequities cannot be salts
factorily corrected by judicial
decisions alone. Without legis-
lation to supplement them,
many individuals and corpora
tions will be subjected to tax
liabilities for income received
in past years which they mis-
takenly but in good faith be-
Ieved to be tax exempt"
To Boost u. S. Income
The Administration already has
started its drive on Capitol Hill
for such legislation. Undersecre.
tary of the Treasury John w.
Hanes appeared yesterday before
a special Senate committee and
urged the Presidential program.
He estimated that as much as
100000, 900 annually might be
collected by the Federal Govern
ment if exemptions on the two
sources of revenue were eliminated.
