Bill to Be Submitted to
. ¥ |
Entire Membership of |
Committee Monday l
BY CLARENCE M. WRIGHT ;
(Associated Press Staff Wlriter) |
|
WASHINGTON — (A — Amid|
a furious campaign for adjourn—i
ment of congress by the last \\'eek|
In August, the president’s new taxi
bill was expanded Saturday toz
boost the rates on incomes as low |
as $50,000. |
House ways and, means mmmit-l
tee Democratg who are drafting thc’!
bill—which holds the present key !
to adjournmeni-—ended their pre-|
‘liminar_v work by broadening it to/l
dip intq the incomes of more than
7,006 individual taxpayers. Pre-|
viously it had been indicated that
the rates would remain unchanged
' below $150,000. ,’
The committee has yet to con
sider many comparatively minm",
points, Nevertheless its members |
apparently recognized the pressumi
for adjournment. They arranged |
for the bill to be introduced l'urm‘:
ally and taken up by the full com
mittee Monday.
Their hope was to get ‘a new
measure through the house during
this week. I
Many obstacles, such as (-011f9r~l
ence agreements on the AAA|
amendments, omnibus banking, su-l
eial security and utilities holding |
company bills, still stand in the
way of prompt adjournment.
Saturday’s action, in addition to]
hitting around 7,000 taxpayers in-|
stead of less than 1,000 under the !
first plan, was estimated to ln‘ingl
in an additional $24,000,000 or $25,-|
000,000 a year. i
Thus, said Chairman Hill, the|
total bill would produce $275,000.”00|
a year in times like the prusvnt'
and upward of $400,000,000 \\'hvnl
business was normal. |
Furthermore, he said there was a |
chance that the levies already tvn—l
tatively accepted on inlwritances.l
which range from 4 to 75 per cent,
might also be boosted. l
Hill and other committeemen de
clined to make public the exact
proposed new individual income tax
schedules. |
He said, however, the new sche
dule roughly would increase the
surtaxes on a $50,000—%560,000 in-

New Orleans Political
Circles Pacified After
Return of F. R. Portrait
NEW ORLEANS.— (#) —Per
turbed over the removal of Presi
dent Roosevelt’s portrait from the
“old regular” organization head
quarters here Friday night, New
Orleans political circles were
pacified Saturday after its return.
The portrait hangs in the Choe
taw club, old regular headquar
ters where 15 of the 17 city ward
leaders formerly headed by Mayor
T. Semes Walmsley deserted him
and accepted the banner of Sena
tor Huey P. Long.
The picture was taken less
than 41 hours before the deadline,
Sunday nocon, when the city vir
tually becomes &jsm‘,;g department
under Long’s latest dictated laws.
The Roosevelt drawing was
taken from the club by Arthur J.
Romaguera, city hall attache
whom the Long forces fired as
chauffeur to the mayor and was
returned after George Reyer,
superintendent of police, had
threatened to arrest him on a
charge of petty larceny.
Romaguera, Friday night walked
into the club and demanded that
the president’'s picture be re
moved on the ground that the
old regulars had no right to the
portrait because of Long’s publi¢
attacks on the President.
SLIVER'S STORY 15
GIVEN IN EVIDENCE
Sensational Trial of GCer
ald Thompson for Girl’s
Murder Continues
PEORIA, 1111. — (#) — Gerald
Thompson’s confession — how he
assaulted and slew comely Mildred
Hallmark in the midnight gloom
of a lonely cemetery—was admit
ted into evidence Saturday in his
sensational murder trial. ]
The defendant quavered protests
of trickery from the witness stand.
His counsel objected. But Circuit
Judge Joseph Daily ruled against
them and State’s Attorney Edwin
V. Champion read the revolting
decument.
The confession related how
Thompson “picked up” the 19-year
old convent graduate last June 16,
drove her to the grave yard and
“tried to pet her.” It added:
“i had to hold her. She did not
want me to Kkiss her. I told her I
wanted to have relations.with her.”
The girl resisted, the confessions
set forth, but the 26-year old mach
inist forced her into the rear seat.
“I choked her to keep her:from
screaming,” Champion quoted from
the signed statement. “She bit me
on the thumb. She scratched me.
1 hit her on the jaw and she laid
back in the seat. Then I attacked
her. .
“In all this struggling around her
clothes got torn. I thought I would
undress her and hide her clothes
so she could not be identified. I
cut her clothes with a scissors and
took off her shoes and stockings.”
The states. attorney read how
Thompson had driven the uncon
scious, blooded form of the case
hostess about until he came to a
ditch. "Then:
“I got out of the car, lifted the
girl by the arms and tossed her
over the edge of the bank.”
The “Grandma’s boy,” pictured
as a sexual monomaniac by Defense
Attorney Ben Thurman, said he
“didn’t stay” to ascertain if Miss

EXTENDED INQUIRY
ON LOBBYING SEEN
Senate Committee Con

“All of Relationships”
BY RICHARD L. TURNER
(Associated Press Staff Whriter)
WASHINGTON — (#) — T h e
senate lobby committee was dis=
closed Saturday night to be con
templating an extended inquiry
into any relationships found to
exist between members of congress
and lobbyists in general.
It was learned that questionaires
had been submitted to many com
panies and individuals, covering
all phases of lobbying activity. The
inquiry sheets asked among other
things for figures on sums spent
and their source, and also for the
names of all members of the senate
and house who were approached.
In the interim before the resum
ption of investigations next week
by both senate and house commit
tees, other developments imgclud

Senate lobby investigators Sat«
urday night reported an inability
to obtain the appearance of H. C.
Hopson, dominant figure in the As
sociated (Gag and Electric company
which expended $700,000 fighting
the administration public utilities
bill.
Williams H. Collins, counsel for
the house investigating committee,
reported that records taken from
the office of Bernard B. Robinson,
Chicago securities executive who
has been questioned about his anti
utilities bill activities. would make
the “best headlines thus far in the
investigation.”
In a general order to all employ

commission Saturday warned those
participating in its investigation of

Judge Deaver instructed them,

Funeral for Captain M. P.
Barrow to Be Held in
Norcross This Afternoon
Many Athenians will attend the
funeral services this afternoon at
3 ¢clock in Norcross for Capt.
Middleton (Mid) Pope Barrow, for
mer resident of Athens, and bro
ther to City Clerk James Barrow,
who died at his residence in that
city Saturday morning at 3 o'clock.
The services will be conducted
by the Rev. David C. Wiright, rec

Mr. Barrow had been in poor
health for sometime but his condi

stroke and grew steadily worse.
He was 67 years old.
He was born in Athens and spent
his boyhood here an@®@ many are his
friends here who will remember
“Mid,” as he was called by those
close to him. His death will mark
to many the passing of a friend of
long standing.
Of distinguished ancestry, he

United States senator from Geor

Offense Strikes New Ter
ror Into Jews znd Steel
Helmets, However
BY A. D. STEFFERUD
(Associated Press Foreign Staff)
BERLIN — (#) — Nazism’s big
offense against reactionaries struck
new terror into Jews and Steel
Helmet war veterans Saturday but
Catholics, heretofore under heavy
fire, thought they discerned indica
tions of an imminent truce.
~ Uneasiness increased among the
‘Reich’s 500,000 Jews after Count
Von Helldorf, Berlin police chief,
summarily outlawed individual
Jew-baiting and announced the
state Nazi movement itself would
prosecute the anti-semitic fight
“in another way.”
Secret police cracked down on
the Stahlhelm again, rajding mem
bers’ homes in Parchirax;{, Ludwigs
lust and Waren where the organ?-
zation wags recently banned. Many
firearms and quantities of ammu
nition were found, it was officially
announced, and several leaders ar
rested. ‘
An olive branch was held out to
Catholics by the official organ of
the Hildesheim bishoprie. It said:
‘“We consider true peace between
the state and the Catnolic church
quite possible.”
The pronouncement coincided
with reports, widely circulated in
Catholic circles, that Monsigmor
Cesare Orsenigo, papal nuncio, had
delivered to the foreign office still
another communication from Pope
Pius protesting treatment of Cath
olics.
To the popular belief fthat the
extreme measures against ‘‘state
enemies” possibly presaged anoth
er “blood purge” was added Satur
day the fear that rising prices
might bring inflation.
What Von Heldorf’'s cryptic de
cree portended for Jews did not
immediately become apparent.
