100 Billion Income Held
In Power Of Tax Laws

Americas annual national income
could be raised to $10O 900 900 900 by
revision of legislation, by lack of
legislation, repeal of legislation and
even by tax laws that would en-
courage instead of discourage busi-
ness enterprise" L. H. Parker.
former chief of staff of the Joint
Congressional Committee on In
ternal Revenue Taxation, told the
Washington Rotary Club today.
II think the most important thing
that Congress could do" Mr.. Parker
said, would be to try to design the
tax laws so as to encourage business
to go ahead.
I'm addition, I hope some official
commission will be formed to tackle
the problem of co-ordinating Fed
eral. State and local taxes. We can
never have a good tax system in
the United States until some of the
Implications, conflicts and overlap
pings OF these taxes are eliminated"
Mr.. Parker also questioned the
value of taxing the salaries Of
Government employees.

Civic Group| Warned
By Wheeler tQ Be
Alert 10 Evils !
Senator Says Good
Government Founded
On Peoples ldeuIs

Emphasizing that governments are
as good as the people who make
them, Senator Burton X. Wheeler,
guest Of honor speaker at the Forest
Hills Citizens Associations annual
dinner, held In the Columbia Coun-
try Club last night, warned that
greed, selfshness, graft and corrup-
ton have caused the downfall of
every great civilized country, and
that the American people are drift
ing in this fateful direction.
Intolerance is the danger signal
for Democracy, the Montanan said.
He pointed out that an unbalanced
Federal budget brings criticism by
persons who In the same breath ask
for appropriations they want some
other city or State to pay for. I'VE
could balance the budget If all Of
the cities in the country would take
care Of their own problems" he said,
adding that as long as voters Judge
members OF Congress by the size
of the appropriation obtained for
their district or State, Congress will
remain subservient and the budget
remain unbalanced, he continued. .
The responsibility rests upon the
people, he said, and the people as a
whole get the kind of Government
they deserve.
"We have got to think more about
our Government" Senator Wheeler
added. What is happening in Ger
many could happen easily in the
United States. We are no different
than the Germans, who thought
they were getting good economic
government"
Senator and Mrs. Wheeler were
honored as good neighbors who
have done so much for the commu-
nity," at the dinner held on the 10th
anniversary of the association. Mai
Gen. Mason M. Patrick and E. c.
Potter, first president of the group
were the co-chairmen. Mr.. Potter
acted as toastmaster and introduced
Senator and Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Les
lie B. Wright, president of the asso-
citation, and others.

that many houses collapsed.
Seven were reported dead in the

Career in Films
Has Claimed
Zoo PIoyboy

Hollywood and a career IN the
movies has claimed Wahoo, the Zoo
playboy.
Wahoo first broke into the spot
light when he destroyed a straw hat
for the late Marion A. Zioncheck,
madcap Representative from Wash
ington State.
The Representative visited the
baboon almost daily after that, feed
ing him sardines and chocolate
eclairs.
Mr.. Zioncheck dubbed the baboon
"Wahoo" and often used to remark
he had more sense than "lot Of
people in Congress"
Wahoo has been on deposit here
for several years. He was regarded
as a talented comedian of the slap
stick school. Not an actor in Holly
wood could be fonder of an audi
ence.
One of his favorite tricks was to
collect an audience and then shower
it by leaping bodily into his drink
ing trough. Wahoo now is working

BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 25.-A test
pilot who free-power dived heavily
armored pursuit airplane at more
than SIS miles per hour claimed
today the distinction of having
travelled faster than any other
human being"
Chief Test Pilot H. Lloyd Child
dropped a Curtiss Hawk 75A pusuit
plane through the clouds above the
Buffalo Airport Monday at almost
1000 feet a second to exceed "all
known speed records" the Curtiss
Aeroplane Division Of the Curtiss-
Wright Corp. ANNOUNCED.
Mr.. Child was testing the plane
for the French Army, which has
purchased 100 Of the ships. The
terrific speed was recorded on in
struments installed by the French
governments representatives, who
witnessed the fight.
The velocity was so great the
marker on the indicator exceeded
the Instruments range and moved
off the paper roll. Aviation experts
said Mr.. Child probably exceeded
600 miles per hour.
Mr.. Child did not attempt to pull
out" Of the dive, but came out
gradually after the ship had reached
its terminal velocity.
II didn't feel anything" the test
pilot commented, ut was all over
too quickly"
The Hawk 75A Is an adoption OF
the United States Army pursuit ship
P36 which has been in use almost q
year and a Curtiss spokesman said
at least two newer models of pur-
suit planes to be tested by the Army
at Dayton, Ohio, this month and
next are designed to exceed the
Hawk 75A in speed.
During the dive the motor was
run at normal flying speed in what
is known as a free-poWer dive. In
regular power dives to test the
structural strength of the plane, the
motor is run wide open and the
ship is pulled out of the dive
abruptly.
The dive started at $4,000 feet and
the maximum speed was attained at
5000 feet. Mr.. Child pulled out OF
