House Easter Recess
Out Because Of Tax
Mudd|e, Martin Says
COP Chiefs Action Busee
On Failure to Vote Plan
For Poy-os- You-Go Levy
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
House Minority Leader Martin
said today that the Houses
Easter vacation is out. I've told
my boys (Republicans) that
we're going to work right on and
be on hand"
Mr.. Martin has announced that he
would agree to a tWo-Week vacation
only if pay-as-you-go tax plan was
approved by the House.
Mr.. Martins statement came as
Republicans resorted to block buster
tactics to try to blast a pay-as-you-
go tax bill out of the House Ways
and Means Committee and get an
other vote on the Ruml plan to skip
an income tax year.
Mr.. Martin brushed aside propo-
sal by Speaker Rayburn that Demo-
Gratis and Republicans join in sup
port of 20 per cent withholding
levy without any tax abatement and
prepared to circulate discharge
petition to force current tax pay
ment legislation to the floor.
If the Republicans can get the
signatures of 218 members the House
will vote again on the Ruml plan.
The skip-a- tax-year proposition was
defeated, 215 to 1913, two weeks ago,
the Democrats lining up almost
solidly against it.
Democrats Plan Move.
Coincident with the Republican
activity, a sizable bloc of Democrats
opened new move to deliver to the
floor compromise measure that
would cancel a large part, but not
all, of 1912 taxes.
Mr.. Martin indicated he would
direct the discharge petition at
bringing from the committee the
proposal by Representatives Robert
son, Democrat, of Virginia and
Forand, Democrat, of Rhode Island
to abate the 6 per cent normal and
13 per cent first bracket surtax on
the 1912 income Of all taxpayers.
The Democratic bloc likewise sought
to put this bill on the floor for a
vote.
The Republicans, however maneu-
vered to bring it out under an open
rule that would allow the Ruml
plan to be presented as a substitute.
The "compromise" Democrats wanted
rule barring amendments, con-
tending the Ruml plan had been
beaten once, and now the House
should have clear cut vote on the
partial abatement bill.
Under the Rooertson-Forand bill,
the 1912 tax obligations would be
erased completely for about 80 per
cent of the taxpayers. and reduced
substantially for others. Virtually
all of the 100000 income taxpayers
then would convert to a pay-as-you-
60 system.

and the Ruml proposal, as modified

ON the contrary. IN the event
the murderer was some one who
did have an entree 10 the house,
then It is possible that the CRIME
was not the carefully planned. de-
libcratc, premedltated crime OF an
intruder. Then what
1t is Al that point Perry Mason
extends the cold finger of logic
and says. IF Alfred dc Marigny
did not commit the murder then
who did 3?

I write this. that there arc sew

sideration in making cold

If the murder was committed
nv some one who was not vel

the murder must have been care

In such an event, the murderer
must have entered the house for

which he Intended to remove the
evidences of the crime.

BuCcigrOss Pleads InnO- cent to Charges Arising
 From Boston Fire

Boston, Jan. -(UP)- Police Capt. Joseph A. Buccigross, one of 10 defendants indicted in the Cocoanut Grove holocaust that cost 489 lives, pleaded innocent today when arraigned in superior court on two counts of wilful neglect of duty.
 He was released in continued bail of $2O00 pending the filing of spe- cial pleas with eight of the other defendants Tuesday.
 A nattack of grippe had pre- vented Buccigross from appearing for arraignment with his fellow de- fendantS Monday.
 Meanwhile, state detectives were continuing their investigation of the night club disaster and 1t was re- ported that Fire Commissioner Will liam A. Reilly's public inquest will be resumed within a few days on receipt of reports from experts and laboratory men who have been making tests of samples of decora- tions and other materials used in the club.
 Legal skirmishes in the case will begin Friday when counsel for City Building Commissioner James Fl. Mooney will enter special pleas be- fore Superior Judge Prank J. Dona- hue. Mooney's counsel is expected 10 ask for abatement of indict. ments because of conflicting au- Thority and lack of authority in his municipal department.
