Arena Suspect Held,
Identified by Two

Prisoner Denies Any
Connection With Death
Of Chicago Editor
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, April l9.-Police 1t.
William Drury said today a 31-year-
old man had been taken into GUS
tody for questioning in connection
with the Staying of John F. Arena,
editor of the italian language news
paper La Tribuna.
The prisoner, a bartender with
minor police record dating back to
1928, denied any connection with the
Staying. 1t. Drury said he had in
formation the man once was Mr..
Arenas chauffeur, but that the
prisoner denied that, too.
The prisoner said he worked until
two weeks ago in a place in Cicero,
which 1t. Drury described as a
hangout for Al Capone gangsters.
1t. Drury said two witnesses to
the shooting of the editor Wednes-
day night had identified the man
as the slayer through a photograph
in the files of the Bureau Of Identif-
cation.
The witnesses were Miss Eleanor
Herrmeyer, II, who was with Mr..
Arena when he was killed, and Pat
rick Brosnan, "a, who was standing
near the editors parked automobile.
Police at first theorized he was
shot because of his editorial attacks
on pro-Fascists, but later authori-
ties said they found evidence indi-
eating Mr.. Arena had been on
friendly terms with the German
consulate in Chicago, and in 1899
had offered his services in behalf of
the German cause.

Australian Minister
Informs M. |. T. Society
Of Growing Expenses

Total war expenditures by the
United Kingdom and the dominions
at present amount to nearly $60,-
100000 daily, or about s22, 1000 900 900
annually, Richard G. Casey, Aus
tralian Minister to the United
States, declared last night.
Mr.. Casey spoke at the annual
dinner and ladies night of the
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology Society of Washington, held
at the Columbia Country Club.
President Karl Compton of M. 1. T.
was guest of honor at the banquet.
Pointing out that these figures are
ever rising, Mr.. Casey said they do
not include ordinary peacetime ex-
penditures nor funds used to pur-
chase war materials from the United
States.
IF one takes account of the ST.
900 100000 appropriation under the
terms of the Lease-Lend Act and
of the increased expenditures by the
United States on it's own defense,
the figure of expenditures by the
democracies reaches staggering
dimensions" he continued. More
over, they reflect in an unmistakable
way the gravity of the situation
and liaison of interest between you
and US"
In his address, Mr.. Casey also
urged elimination of any grievances
or points of friction between the
United States and Britain.
TOO long have the United States
and Britain had misunderstanding
about each other. We both know
their bases and I do not propose
to discuss them, but all of these
ancient. wrongs belong to an an
cient era that has passed." he said.
They have no relation whatsoever
with today's conditions and I be-
lieve the time has come to lay away
these old ghosts so that our CO.
operation may not be hindered by
any restrictive forces. We must
bury them in order that the fu-
ture, which it is not too much to say
will be in our hands, may not be
torpedoed by memories of things
past"

Although Washington won the
National Safety Council award for
cities of its size, M. o. Eldridge of the
Department of Vehicles and Traffic

Citizens Association much improve
ment in traffic handling is neces-
Sary.
Pedestrian signals. removal of

and said that there are less men

now than 10 years ago.
Replying to Questions.
He said he favored directional ar
rows on streetcar loading platforms;
that photographs on driving per-
mits would be helpful, and that the
Department of Vehicles and Traffic
needs an increase in personnel.
Mrs. Margaret Kasius. represent
ing the Community Chest, spoke
briefly on the needs of the Chest for
this year and discussed the open
house to be held May % at the
Charles Glover estate on Massachu-
setts avenue to acquaint the people
of Washington with the work of the

On a motion by A. M. Lerner the
association recommended that the
Federation of Citizens Associations

irive which would take the form of a
campaign to enlighten the citizens
about civic affairs through the
papers and the radio.

ate with w. c. Cunningham in his
efforts to develop into a small park

Huge Tax Boost Plan
May Include Revival
OF World War Levies
Congress Members See
Move Needed to Help
Raise 3Nz Billions
BY this Associated Press.

BY this Associated Press.
Revival of a long list of World
War excise taxes, such as those on
railroad tickets and life insurance
policies, was described in congress
sional circles today as a logical step
toward the proposed goal of $780,
100000 in additional revenues.
Some members of the House Ways
and Means Committee went so far
as to say renewal of such levies was
"a foregone conclusion" Those leg
islators explained that the addi-
tional excise taxes would be neces-
sary to make up whatever amounts
the prospective increases in income
and corporation taxes fail to pro-
duce.
Well-informed members said thai
In addition to producing new reve-
nue., needed to finance the defense
program, the administration looked
to higher taxes for a psychological
result-impression on the general
public of the gravity of the current
situation.
Rail Tax Yield Large.
Among the biggest money-raisers
In the excise tax group 20 years ago
was the levy on the transportation
of freight by rail or water, which. in
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1922,
produced sl4O,Ol9,200. The pre-
ceding year, the tax on passenger
travel by rail or water produced
S93, 1856 635. Both levies were dis
continued in 1922.
Other excise taxes imposed during
or Immediately after the World War
included levies on lighting fixtures,
medicinal preparations, soft drinks,
motion picture film, sporting goods,
cameras and lenses. chewing gum,
firearms and electric fans.
In the year ending June 80, 1920,
the tax on candy brought in S23,-
142,033, but the yield dropped to
less than half that sum in 1924, the
last year it was collected.
Committee Meets Monday.
The Ways and Means Committee
is 20 meet Monday in closed session
with Treasury officials to 60 over
the situation and Chairman Dough-
ton said the group probably would
decide then when to begin public
hearings on the matter. Mr.. Dough-
ton expressed belief it would require
at least two months to get the tax
bill through Congress.
Although President Roosevelt in
dicated he did not favor imposition
of a general manufacturers sales
tax tC raise the money, some Senti-
ment for such an impost developed
within the committee Legislators in
favor of it said the Government
already has number of sales taxes
In effect, including gasoline and
theater admission taxes, and there
was no reason why a broader range
of items should not be included dur
ing the emergency.
Opponents of the sales tax con-
tended, however, thai it would place
an unfair share of the burden on
the little fellow, who is least able
to pay.
