House is scheduled TO start debate
tomorrow on the pending two bill.
lion dollar tax bill under gag"
rule 80 rigid that final passage
Wednesday without a change Is con
sldered certain.
Members, under the rule. will not
be permitted TO offer amendments
and the bill mast either be passed
or rejected in the exact form II was
drafted by the House Ways and
Means Committee.
Congressional leaders hope for
Senate action early next month so
that the bill can be sent to the
White House for presidential ap.
proval before Christmas.
Gag rules on tax bills are tradi-
tional in the House on the theory
that taxes cannot be written on
the floor" Leaders expect less
protest against this procedure In
this instance than in former years,
inasmuch as there Is little contro-
versy over the measure.
The bill. carrying t2li0 900. 900
in taxes, raises most OF the add
tional revenue through stiff excuses
on so-called luxury commodities
and services, raises some postal
rates and Increases the excess pro
FITS levy on corporations,
Chief criticism against the bill
has been against the increase in
postage rstes-aBd the .boost OF y
cents a quart in liquor taxes. While
the opposition 20 these provisions
are far from formidable. the gag
rule will prevent even mild up
rising and the debate is expected

CAUNT BELIEVED
MURDER VICTIM
Inquest Into Former CrOs=
BY Athletes Death in
South Dakota

James A. Gaunt, Jr., %, 757 Cooke
street, whose body was found We'd
nesday beside South Dakota rail-
road track, is now believed to have
been a murder victim.
A railroad worker found the boys
body with bullet through his head
shortly after 7 p. m. Wednesday
beside the Milwaukee railroad track
in Milbank, s. D.
States Attorney Frank S. TAFT
of Milbank described the death ZAP
parently a murder case" and an
nounced that an inquest will be held,
probably today.
Sheriff Russell Criese Of Milbank,
assisted by railroad detectives, yes
terday began a search for an ex-
soldier with whom Gaunt was last
seen alive at Montevideo, Mimi, 60
miles east Of Milbank on Tuesday
night.
There were no powder burns or
Gaunt's body, indicating that the
gun was not fired from close range.
The bullet entered the boys right
jaw and emerged from the top of his
head.
Gaunt had nothing in his pockets
but a money belt containing $40 in
cash, his social security card, and
a birth certificate. His draft card
was missing.
The boy, whose eyesight was poor,
was rejected from military service in
July, 1912, and had since been en-
ployed as a machine operator at the
French Small Tuge division of the
American Brass Company here.
Walter White, personnel manager
of the plant, said Gaunt resigned his
job about month ago and told him
he was going to seek a job better
suited to his abilities and offering
more chance for advancement. In
vestigation disclosed Gaunt checked
baggage from Milwaukee to Seattle,
Washington, Sunday, and that he
was enroute to the latter city.
Gaunt was widely known in school
athletic circles in Waterbury, having
been co-captain of the Crosby High
track team In 1899.
After being graduated from Cros-
by, Gaunt attended Perkiomen
school, Pennsburg, Pa, and the Uni
