Representative Dirksen, Republi-
can, of Illinois, and father" of the
present local income tax law, indi-
Gated he would resist any attempt
to save non-reSidents the trouble
OF filing tax return to the District.
There is hardly any difficulty in
making a third return" he said.
IF a person living in either Mary
land or Virginia has filed a return
there, he also has filed a Federal
income tax return and has the in
formation available to furnish the
District. The filling out of such a
return will not take more than a
half hour.
Il think that the requirement for
a return from the non-residents is
the sane and sensible way to provide
for good administration of the law
and I'm going to stand by it even
though there may be some trouble
about it on the floor of the House" :"
Corporation Counsel Richmond
B. Keech and Glenn Simmon, one
OF his assistants, submitted to the
subcommittee a number of amend
mentS. The principal change, made
at the specific instruction of the
subcommittee, is designed to avoid
any possibility of dual taxation of
non-residents who work here and
pay an income tax in the States In
which they live.

Excess Profits Tax
Modification Wins
Approval
Finance Body Accepts
Amendments Previously
Passed by House
By the Associated Press.

The Senate Finance Committee
unanimously approved today a
series of amendments designed to
alleviate hardship cases" under the
excess profits tax law.
All except one of the amendments
had been approved by the House two
days ago.
The Senate committee added a
provision which would permit a tax
payer to file a return in which he
computed excess profits tax liability
both on the basis of average earn
ings for the base period and on the
basis of invested capital.
Under present law, a corporation
Is required to elect one mothed or the
other when he makes his return
and the choice is irrevocable.
Treasury officials told the COM
mittee that in some cases the tax
payer could not determine which
method would be the most advan-
tageous until the termination of ap-
peals for special relief which might
be pending at the time he made his
return.

the Bulgarian government issued
another denial of reports that Ger
man troops had entered the country.
Belief that something was afoot
here concerning the Dardanelles ap-
parently was given some color by
news that Cripps is en- route here
to confer with Mr.. Eden and Turk
ish officials. ANY move to close the
DardanelleS would be of vital con-
Germ to Soviet Russia.
Germany already has a foothold
on the Black Sea through her con-
troll of the Rumanian port of Con-
stanta-a fact believed to have an
important bearing on the reported
British proposals.
Turkey was given the right to for
tify the Dardanelles by the Mon
treux convention of 1896, ratified by
France, Great Britain, Russia, Bull
garia, Greece, Germany and Yugo-
slavia. The agreement terminated
the 1928 Lausanne treaty, under
which Turkey was forbidden to mill
tarize the region around the Darda-
nelles, the Sea of Marmora and the
Bosphorus.
Control of the Dardanelles has for
centuries been a much-sought prize
and Turkeys position astride the
straits Is one OF fler chief sources
of power. as well as potential
cause for conflict.
The straits were the scene of
bloody fighting In the World War
when Britain attempted unsuccess-
fully to gain control of them for an
avenue of assistance to her ally, i'm

it was too much to expect"
He declared that defense workers
had been dominated" by labor
unions and added that if this con-
tinued it would bring Socialism and
dictatorship. Secretary Perkins, he
said, had been instrumental in rails
ing the cost of Camp Edwards,
Mass, from s7000,000 to $29,0OO,000
by ordering payment of prevail

At the same time yesterday the
House Military Affairs Committee

was advised by Brig. Gen. Brehon
B. somervelle that development of
Camp Blanding, in Florida, had cost
$5,OOO,0OO more than expected, but
that if estimates of its military use
proved well-founGed, the extra
money would be well spent" The
Army construction chief said that
the unexpected cost was due primar-
lily to the fact that the camp was
on a low-lying sandy site, but that
the location was chosen presumably
because of its military value, and
therefore should justify the invest
ment if the appraisal of its worth
was borne out.
Representative Shafer, Repub-
lican, of Michigan asked if the

encountered could not have been

Bulgaria Reported Near

BUDAPEST, Feb. 27 [P).-Reports
circulated in diplomatic circles to-
day that Bulgaria is preparing to
join the Rome-Berlin axis.
There was no immediate con-
f1rmation, though Berlin dispatch
to Hungarian newspapers said that
"Bulgarian-German relations are
expected to be clarified in the next

Yugoslayio Reported
Speeding Defenses

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Feb. 27
P.-Diplomatic dispatches from
Belgrade said today that the Yugo-
slav general staff had ordered a
speedup of defense preparations, ap-
parently in fear that German armies
now massed in Rumania might at
tempt to get at Greece through
Yugoslavia instead of Bulgaria.
Diplomats heard that Soviet
Russia, apparently after agreeing
to German transit through Bulgaria,
now had raised objections.
Fitting into this picture of Yugo-
slav alarm was report at Budapest,
Hungary, that Foreign Minister
Alexander Cincar Marcovic of
YugoSlavia had been called back
suddenly from the Hungarian capi-
tai, where he had gone to sign a
Yugoslav- Hungarian friendship pact.

Big Bill" Edwards Wins Top Flight Rank as
 Coach

Detroit CUp)-The football career of the Detroit Lions coach-Wil- liam "Big Bill" Edwards started 2I years ago in the depths of . southern Ohio coal mine.
 He was just Q healthy I4.year. old boy when he began digging coal, but the job started him fi- nancially on one of the most out- standing football careers in the country.
 I've played football ell my life" 1" Edwards said when he signed with the Lions. ':It has given me prac- tically everything l have and I'm in favor of putting it back into the game"
 The S6-year-old former western Reserve coach began playing foot ball as Q semi-pro near his home in East Greenville, O. He made such an unusual showing against various rugged mine teams from his center position on the Massillon Maroons that he was drafted by the Massil- lon high school team. He played on the high school team four years and during that interim the squad lost only two games.
 Played at Wittenberg
 He enrolled at Ohio State in 1926, but after 8 year transferred to Wittenberg College, in Spring field high school. The next fall he berg team for two years and in his senior year was named all-West- ern center by walter Eckersall.
 His first job out of college in 1881 was the coaching position at Spring. field high scholo. The next fall he moved to Fostorla high and remain. cd there two years.
 In 1884 Edwards was drafted by Sam Williams, former Ohio State coach, to act as his assistant at Western Reserve. In the spring of the following year Williams died and Edwards was appointed head coach.
 Won 28 Games in Row During his six-year tenure at the Cleveland university, Edwards com piled one of the finest records in collegiate football. His Western Re- serve teams won 49 games-28 in succession, lost six, tied two, and last New Years Day defeated Arizona State Teachers College 26-1S in the Sun Bowl.
 He took over the reins of the Lions, which had been held by four coach- es in the last four years, with char acteristic optimism and enthusiasm.
 T don't want to make any pre- dictions on what will happen this fall," he said, but you can bet the Lions will know football from tor to bottom, as all my teams have, and will give any team @ battle.
 T consider this the biggest ster In my career and plan to make the best of 1t.
 Edward is married to his college sweetheart, and they have two chil. dren, Bill, 8, and Jane, 6.

presidential contest It is expected,
however, that more than 100000
Jewish votes will be cast and that
most of them will go to Mayor La
Guardia on the war issue. The hope
of the ODwyer manager is that the
Mayors attack on Gov. Lehman,
who is a Jew, will turn many Jewish
voters away from the Mayor. In
fact, that is their principal hope for
victory.
The Irish vote is much smaller
than the Jewish vote, but it is ex-
pected to 60 in large part to Mr..
ODwyer, who is an Irishman.
Mr.. ODwyer charged the Mayor
was spending a $1,OO0,O00 fund for
reelection. The Mayor replied that
he did not want to be elected if that
were true and ordered an investiga-
tion of his own campaign fund.
The inquiry broke up in a row, in
cidentally showing no such figure,
but Mr.. ODwyer claimed all rec
ords were not before the investi-
gators.
Mr.. ODwyer, famed as the smash
er of the Brooklyn murder ring, as
serted the Mayor was trying to un-
ical reasons. The Mayor respond
ed that it was the police depart
ment, not Mr.. O'Dwyer. which broke.
the cases which Mr.. ODwyer sue
cessfully prosecuted.
One charge which the O'Dwyer
supporters laid against the Mayor
early in the campaign was that he
was friendly with the Communists.
The Communist party Withdrew its
candidate for Mayor, declaring its
support of Mayor La Guardia. This,
however, was allowed to fade until
today, when Mr.. Farley in a radio
broadcast, denounced the Mayor as
Red La Guardia" He said the
Mayor had appointed Paul Kern
president of the Municipal Civil
Service Commission and that Mr.
Kern had been identified with every
Communist cause for the past six
or more years.
The Mayor has disclaimed any
friendship for Communism and
