WASHINGTON, Feb. S (INS).
John w. Hanes. former under
secretary of the treasury in the
Roosevelt administration, today
urged congressional adoption OF
the Ruml tax plan as an anti
infationary step, contending that
it would assure a maximum con-
tinuity" of revenue flow into the
treasury which will go further
toward stopping imitation than any
other single proposal"
Hanes assailed arguments by
treasury officials that pay-as-you-
60 plan is likely TO set off a dan
gerous inflationary spiral, and
termed the claim that it will favor
upper income groups "demagogic."

Apache, With Regards
Score in Sections
OF Paumonok
Jommed Plant Marks Up
Second Million Dollar
Session in Wagering
BY the Associated Press,

~ UHe hSSoCtAtcu fIeSS.
NEW YORK, April 1o.-A pair of
colts that did right well by them
selves as 3-year-olG last year
showed that they lost none Of their
vaunted speed during the winter
months today when William, Wood
wards Apache and Mrs. Josephine
Grimes With Regards split the hon.
ors In the two divisions Of the
Paumonok Handicap at Jamaica.
While 29,209 fans packed every
nook and corner of the Long Island
racing plant and sent $l,743,37O
through the mutuel machines for
the second million dollar day since
the New York season opened Thurs
day. Apache and With Regards came
through with head decisions after
stirring stretch duels.
Apache's victory was the more
popular since he was the public's
choice at $40 for 81, With Re-
CARDS, on the other hand, was lightly
regarded In the betting that made
Mrs. Payne Whitney's Devil Diver
the hed-hot favorite. With the
Diver refusing to run back to his
sensational workouts and finishing
fifth in the field Of nine, With Re-
CARDS returned $3.50 for 81
straight ducat.
Both winners carried the same
weight, 1875 pounds, but Apache was
caught In the faster time for the
six furlongs. Under Jimmy Stout's
guidance, the son Of Alcazar stepped
the distance in 1:12 fiat, while
Johnny Longden brought the Colo
rado-owned With Regards home in
l:l2h. Since there were two more
starters in With Regards section,
Mrs. Grimes and her trainer-hus-
band, picked up $1,000, as compared
with the $500 earned by Apache
for the master of the Belair stud.
Apache outlasted Harold Clarks
4-year-old star of the New Orleans
meeting, Riverland, to win by
head, with Mrs. Dodge Sloane's
Mettlesome four lengths away in
third place. His triumph marked
the fifth Paumonok winner saddled
by Trainer Jim Fitzsimmons in the
last half-dozen years. 1t also was
the third for Owner Woodward.
Doublrab, sprint ace of 1912, was
seventh and last under top weight
of 130 pounds.
With Regards held on with fine
courage to score his head decision
over Donald P. Ross New Orleans

and trained by Tom Heard, was

Petro, Transparent
Fight for Richer
Outdoor Bout
Turner's Arena Winner
Tomorrow May Get Pep
Match at Boil Park

The bigger purse that goes with
an outdoor headline appearance is
the bait dangled before Danny Petro,
the Southeast featherweight, and
Lew Transparent of Baltimore,
twice conqueror Of former champion,
joey Archibald, when they tangle
in the main eight-round boxing
match on tomorrow nights card
at Turner's Arena.
The winner will be in line for one
of the outdoor shows being sched-
uled by Promoter Joe Turner, who
has exclusive rights to the ball park
for boxing this summer. Turner
has his New York agent, Lew Dia-
nond, the Honest Brakeman, scout
ing around for an outstanding fea-
therweight to show against either
Petro or Transparent, and Willie
Pops name has been mentioned as
a possibility. Pep is holder Of the
New York version of the feather
title and has a good following here
since he flattened Ponti Torres.
Tomorrow's fight figures as an
other big test for Petro. They were
scheduled to meet once before, but
Transparent was injured in train
ing and the bout was called off.
Petro has been moving along
smoothly of late. His only local
defeat was by Billy Reed and he
more than balanced that by chilling
Reed in the first round of return
engagement.
Other eight-rounders on tomor-
rows program send Pete Galiano of
Baltimore against Make Starr of
Wilmington, Charley Petro, Danny's
brother, against Pete Caringe, Phila-
delphia, and Stoney Lewis of WASH
1ngton against Oakie Greer of Bal
tlmore. Greer was surprise VIM
ner last week against Bobby Brown,
while Charley Petro, too, made q
brief showing on that card and took
less than two minutes to kayo Eddie
