with the late OF the income tax
and s6 500 900 Federal payment COM
promise to free the deadlocked Dis
trict revenue and appropriation bills
hinging on House vote this week.
Representative Randolph of West
Virginia made plans last night to
confer with Speaker Bankhead and
Majority Leader Rayburn before the
issue comes up.
Final details of the conference
report were worked out yesterday
! when the conferees announced the
rate schedule for the income tax
would start at per cent on the first
$4,000 of taxable income and range
upward to maximum of per cent
on all over $4,000.
District officials estimated these
rates would raise about $500 900
which may prove to be several hun
dred thousand more than is needed
when items still in dispute in the
appropriation bill finally are settled
Congress Members Exempt.
They estimated also that 80 per
cent of the persons who file their
Federal income from Washington
will be exempt from the local levy
by the action of the conferees in ap-
plying the District tax only to those
'domiciled' in Washington, within
the legal meaning of that term.
This definition clearly exempts
members of Congress, all wage earn
ers in the District who live across
the line in Maryland and Virginia
and large number of resident Gov
ernment officials and employees, who
may be able to show they did not
| move to Washington with the inten-
ton of making it their home indefi-
nitely.
The detailed rate schedule adopted
Yesterday follows: One per cent OF
the first $1,000 of taxable income
which means after personal exemp-
tions and other deductions; IL per
cent of the next $1,000, 2 per cent
OF the next $1,000, 212 per cent OF
the next $4,000 and per cent on all
taxable income in excess of $40 900
These rates would be applied tc
the taxable income of every indi-
vidual "domiciled" in the District Of
Columbia on the last day of the tax
able year. The taxable year of ar
individual could correspond to his
accounting period, as the Federal
law also allows.
Senate Gets Report Tuesday.

bill will be presented first in the

President Roosevelt intends to
keep Paul v. McNutt, former Gov
ernor of Indiana, who is about
to retire as American high COM
missioner to the Philippines, in
Washington and in the Federal
service, according to rumors which
gained ground last night.
According to these reports, Mr.
McNutt either will be appointed to
head the new Federal Security
Agency or Secretary of the Navy,
but probably to the first-named Of
flee.
The President filled the Offices
of Federal works administrator and
Federal loan administrator several
weeks ago, but has delayed appoint
ment of the head of the new Fed
eral Security Agency
If the appointment goes to Mr..
McNutt, he will be an important
figure in the New Deal admins
tration. BY his executive order of
last April setting up these three
new agencies of the Government,
the President consolidated in the
Federal Security Agency the So
cial Security Board, Civilian Con-
servation Corps. United States En-
ployment Service, Public Health
Service, National Youth Admins
tration and Office Of Education.
A Potential Candidate.
Mr.. McNutt returned from the
Philippines and came to Washing
ton last week a potential candi-
date for the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination next year. He
made it quite clear, however, he
will not oppose denomination OF
Mr.. Roosevelt should the latter
decide to permit his name to go
before the national convention. In
deed. the tall. white-haired Hoosier
made it equally clear he would sup
port the President under such cir
cumstances.
Should Mr.. McNutt be appointed
to office in the administration here,
1t is expected that the campaign
his friends are waging for his nomi-
nation will go right ahead Only a
declaration by the President, or a
strong intimation from him. that
he would be a candidate for re-
nomination would put an end to the
McNutt campaign for delegates. In
the event of either, Mr. McNutt is
expected to declare himself out OF
the race and support the President.
Would Join Other Hopefuls.
Having announced his sympathy
for the principles and objectives of
the New Deal and his loyalty to
his chief. Mr. McNutt is now re-
garded as a potential New Deal
candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation. If he is placed in the ad-
ministration here, Mr. McNutt will
have joined several others who have
been prominently mentioned as pos
sible successors to the President,
among them Secretary of Commerce
Hopkins, Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace, Solicitor General Jackson,
Attorney General Murphy and Asso-
ciate Justice Douglas of the Supreme
Court, not to mention Secretary of
State Hull, Postmaster General Far
ley and Senator Barkley of Ken
lucky, the majority leader,
1t has been apparent that Mr..
McNutt could not remain indefinitely
in the Philippine Islands and sue
cessfully become an active candidate
for the presidential nomination. If
his campaign was to go forward,
his presence in the United States
was demanded. So plans were made
for his return to this country In
July. q year in advance of the ma
tional convention. Also plans have
been made tor series of public

DENVER, March 1.--Swing and fancy dances have moved right up front in classrooms of western schools
 At Denver and in several other cities the Lambeth Walk, the Big Apple and even some of the ultra fancy jitterbugs jigs are taught as part of physical education courses.
 'They teach a student rhythm and the social graces and give them exercise" says Miss Ruth Johnson, Denver high school physical edu- cation teacher.
 In Tulsa, Okla, even the grade schools have taken up the Lambeth Walk Miss Miriam Gray, teacher, says, Its just the thing"
 'sThe youngsters like it-in fact, they love it. she says. "A few boys called it sissy stuff at first, but they soon got over that"
 The Denver high school physical education classes have all the ap pearance of a social hour. The class es are held in the school gymnasium and both boys and girls participate.
 The students, Lambeth Walking to the music of phonograph,. toss in all the sound effects and come down extra heavy on the @Oi.'
 But Miss Elizabeth Waterman of the Winnetka, IL, public schools, who is teaching special course in rhythm, is not in sympathy with the swing movement.
 Americans like swing because they are lazy" says Miss Water man, author of several textbooks on rhythm.
 ''It takes less effort to react to a steady rhythm which beats it's way monotonously through popular tune than it does to follow the changing rhythms of concerto or symphony
