Ring Patrons Put
Foot Down on
Feeble Fighters
BY DAVE SMALKIN

LOS ANGELES, Dec. %. CUP)-
Something has to be done about
the fix the fight games in before
ey eyerybody suffers, the boys along
leatherfist lane were saying here
Friday.
The "I won't be quoted" attitude
prevailed but with no names used
there were more ideas for reform
and improvement around than on
an open forum.
A series of bad fights eliminated
a week ago by the unfortunate Mike
Della incident, in which Della
would not or could not put up a
fight against Cleo ShanS at Holly
wood Legion Stadium-much to the
disgust of that establishments reg
uiar customerS-had the boys wor-
ried.
Here are some of the reforms
they would like to see-"but don't
quote me-"
A boxing "czar" for California at
a salary of $4,000 a year, who would
not be in superior court or some
where else but on the boxing scene
all the time.
Under this set-up the commits
sioner would be aided by a $3OOO-a a
year secretary responsible for see
ing that the rules are enforced.
The succession of bad fights cost
promoters in this war-rich town
nothing as record takes at both the
Legion and Olympic Auditorium

Prints From Body
In Trunk Smeared
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 8.-Fingerprints
taken from the body of woman
shipped in salt-packed trunk from
Chicago to Los Angeles were smear
ed and incapable of establishing
identity, 1t. Philip Breitzke of the
homicide division said today.
New prints will be sought imme-
diately from Los Angeles police
1t, Breitzke said. He added he still
believed the woman was Mrs. Louise
Villegas, "a, who disappeared from
a small downtown hotel April %.
The prints from the victims body
had been expected to disclose
whether the woman was the one
who registered with a man in the
hotel under the name of mfr. and
Mrs. John Lopez"
Because of one days employment
at a Chicago war plant, which made
fingerprints as routine requirement.
the woman who had registered as
Mrs. Lopez" would have her prints
on record in Washington, 1t
Breitzke said.
When duplicates of the trunk VIC
TINS f1ngerprints are obtained, they
also will be matched against those
found in the room occupied by Mr.
and Mrs, Lopez" he said.

way express agency Office April 80

Vandenberg Opposes
Exemption Change in
New Tax Measure
BY J. A. O'LEARY,

Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan today questioned the
justification for increasing the in
come tax of any group of indi-
viduals for 1914, since taxpayers al
ready have estimated their taxes
for the current year, unless 1t is
indispensable" in achieving SIM
plification.
The discussion came at the first
Senate Finance Committee hearing
on the House-approved bill.
Senator Vandenberg commented
after Colin F. STAN, congressional
tax expert. told the committee it is
necessary to apply the new rates in
the .House-approved simplification
bill to 1914 income in order to- give
taxpayers the advantage of the
simplified returns on March Is,
l945.
Mr.. Siam said he doubted that
very many persons would have their
taxes increased and that drafters
of the bill thought the system nee
essary-"o otherwise we would delay
too long" the benefits of simpliflca-
ton.
The increase Senator Vandenberg
mentioned would come about
through a fiat $500 exemption for
each member of a family A head
of family now has a 81 200 exemp-
ton. with $3.50 added for each child.
Mr.. STAN said the slight increases
on single persons and childless cou-
pies would be Offset in many in
stances by a fiat 10 per cent de-
duction for contributions, interest
and other taxes
Some charitable groups have pro-
tested this, but Mr.. STAN said a
person who gives more than the
average still is permitted to take
credit up to Is per cent of his gross
income.
Meanwhile Senator McCarran
Democrat, of Nevada announced on
the Senate floor that he would at
tempt to have the tax rate on cab
arets cut from 80 per cent to 10, but
Chairman George of the Finance
Committee said he doubted the
question would be included in the
current hearings. ...
The bill has brought protest by
Senator Butler, Republican, of Ne
braska, against its charity deduction
proviso.
Senator Butler told reporter
the bill allows deductions for char
ity where there is no evidence of
charity"
This does not satisfy church
groups, Senator Butler said, adding
he intends to fight it in COM
mittee.

Hearing Set on Measure
To Abolish War Time
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Cannon, Democrat
of Missouri, who thinks the Nation
could set up its morale by setting
back its clocks, will be given a
hearing Thursday on his bill to
abolish daylight saving time.
Mr.. Cannon declares that national
war time. ordered by Congress in
February, 1912, has deprived mil
lions of needed hour of sleep on
sultry nights, saved no electric
power or light, wasted manpower
and farm products, added confusion
and distress to the already tense
war situation and contributed di-
rectly to juvenile delinquency and
assaults upon women on their way
to employment in the premature
darkness of the morning."
Chairman Boren of House Inter-
state Commerce subcommittee said
his group had decided to consider
the proposal because of extreme
interest" shown in it. He said at
least two Federal agencies are ex-
pected to demand retention of wal
time. The War Production BoarC
and Office of Defense Transporta-
top have asked to testify, he said
Both agencies are sponsors of the
fast time" as means of con-
serving critically needed electric
| power.
