House Survey Shows
Sales Tax Favored,
0kiahoman Reports
Disney Finds Sentiment
Veerine From Big Boosts
In Income Levies
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Representative Disney, Demo-
crat, of Oklahoma said today
survey he had made showed that
IAN overwhelming majority" OF
the House would vote for sales
tax rather than for big increases
in individual and corporation
taxes proposed by the Treasury.
Asserting that Congress could not
raise $1,000, 0O0, 900 from corpora
tons and individuals, Mr.. Disney
said in a statement, 1--WE will be
compelled to 60 to sales tax, much
as we dislike to-"
Mr.. Disney, member of the House
Ways and Means Committee, which
has been studying new sources OF
revenue for a month, said in his
statement:
Il have made general survey OF
the House which convinces me that
an overwhelming majority will vote
for q sales tax, rather than to in
crease income taxes skiold in two
years as would be the case under
the Treasury's recommendations on
average incomes"
The l94l tax bill trebled the
average tax paid by low and middle
income brackets and the admins
tration's new proposals would dou-
BILE existing levies.
Secretary Morgenthau presented
a $7,610,000,00 tax program to the
committee March 3, with $4,000, 900, =
900 to be obtained from individuals
and $1,000 5000 from corpora
tons.
Mr.. Disney said that he favored a
on luxuries, low rates on luxury
necessities, and very low rates" on
cheaper food and clothing. That
system would be more difficult to
administer than a straight per-
centage on all items, but would be
fair" Mr.. Disney said. He added
that % States and Canada have a
sales tax and it had been found easy
to collect with no undue hardship
such as a withholding tax like that
the Treasury proposed would cause.
Mr.. Morgenthau has recon-
mended that the Treasury be given
discretionary authority to withhold
at the source up to 10 per cent of a
persons net income subject to
normal taxes, with the deductions
applicable as credit for taxes paid
against the annual income tax obli-

D. {. Fights Closing
OF Night Recreation
Facilities in Schools
Officials Seek $4,000
From Senate Unit to
Continue Operation

District officials will make last
minute move today to prevent the
closing of night recreation activities
in 40 schools when Acting CO.
ordinator of Recreation Milo r.
Christianson goes before a Senate
subcommittee at 4 pm. to seek some
$4,000 to continue operation until
June 30.
The money is needed to provide
custodial service for So buildings and
some leadership. The request for
the deficiency appropriation has
been approved by the Board of
Education, the Commissioners and
the Budget Bureau.
Even if Mr.. Christianson is unable
to obtain promise from the
Deficiency Subcommittee of the
Senate Appropriations Committee
Commissioner Mason said he planned
to appeal to the workers in the
buildings to continue after Saturday
with his promise to do all he can to
get them the money due them.
Ordinarily night operation of the
schools ceases about this time, it
was explained, but this year, due to
the war, the buildings are in con-
tinuous use in first aid and other
defense classes and meetings as well
as for recreation purposes.
Mr.. Christensen said many re-
quests have come in from civic
and other groups that the operation
continue.
The original appropriation of $40
900 for the custodians and part time
leadership, it was explained, was
made before the war and present
demands on the schools. Mr..
Christensen is charged with issuing
permits for after-school use Of
school facilities.
At this afternoons committee
meeting, it was added, other Dis
trict requests totaling some s528, 900
will also be considered.

Mrs. Small Convicted
OF Embedding 1922
In Dog Tax Funds
Jury Returns Verdict
Against 79-Yeor-OId
Women in 40 Minutes

After celebrating 40 minutes, a
District Court jury today found
Mrs. Hattie F. Small, 10, former en-
ploye of the dog tax collection unit
of the District Government, guilty
of embezzling 1892 in revenue from
that Office.
Defense lawyers indicated they
would appeal the case to the United
States Court of Appeals.
At Liberty on Bond.
Justice F. Dickinson Let's per-
mitted Mrs. Small to remain at
liberty on $500 bond.
The jury found her guilty on all
80 counts of the indictment, each of
which charged her with embezzling
sums ranging from Sc to $24. There
were three women on the jury.
Closing arguments were delivered
yesterday afternoon. Assistant
United States Attorney John L.
Laskey commended that Mrs. Small
embezzled some $4,000, although the
Indictment charged her with taking
but 1892, The prosecutor told the
jury the defendant spent large
amounts for beauty treatments and
clothes and that she expended in
1899 and 1910 sums equaling her
income.
Receipt Stubs Shown.
The stubs made in conjunction
with the dog tax collections, the
prosecutor asserted, were in a room
adjoining the court and were made
available to the defendant and her
attorneys. The receipts in question
were shown to be in the handwriting
OF the defendant, Mr.. Laskey told
the jury, and the amounts shown
as taken in were also in her hand
writing. A definite shortage was
proven, the prosecutor maintained,
the days named in the indict-
ment being those on which no one
but Mrs. Small issued dog tax re-
ceipts.
Mr.. Laskey told the jurors that no
one else at these times had an op-
portunity to extract the slips.
Challenges Proof of Guilt.
Attorney Tracy L. Jeffords, who
with Attorney Gerald M. johnson,
defended Mrs. Small, told the jury
In his closing argument that they
haven't proved her guilty, because
she is not guilty and because she is
an honest woman"
They say that she spent more
money than she earned, but you
can't draw any discriminating con-
illusions from that" asserted the de-
Tense lawyer, saying that doubtless
the jurors themselves when paying
their taxes last month expended
more than they made.
Mr.. Jeffords declared that there
Is nothing to show she didn't have
a nest egg back of that" adding
that some of the money was spent
by this woman. nearly 80 years old,
in improving her appearance so that
she might properly earn living.

enemy numbers and fire power
forced some of our outpoSts to
withdraw a short distance, but
no material change in the situa-
ton resulted. The enemy suf-

losses were slight.
Throughout April l the ground
action in Bataan was limited to
intensive patrol activity, with
occasional sharp clashes.
Naval units shelled our posi-
tons along the west coast of
Batann, while dive bombers at
tackled our front lines.
There were several haraSsing

which did little damage. During
the afternoon these attacks were
accompanied by the Smelling OF

and other military equipment
were destroyed. Our forces suf-
fered no casualties.
In the other raid one of our
native Sulu units penetrated
to the heart of the Japanese

taking the enemy completely by

Aggressive patrol activity on
