Chief sources of difficulty were the ‘LaFollette amendment for publication of income tax returns and the Borgh amendment against monopoly and/ price-fixing. Leading proponents of the measure contended the principal purpose would be defeated if the Idaho Republican's proposal was retained. This would prevent any code of fair competition to be worked out in co- operation between the government and industry providing for combina- tions in restraint of trade, price fix- ing or any other monopolistic pee | , tices. trust law for two years to permit in- dustry to start up again on a large scale, advocates say the Borah amendment conflicts to a great ex- tent with this policy. Reject Clark Amendment The clark amendment, making all eecurities which now are tax-exempt subject to taxation, was rejected by the conferees on the ground that it ‘was unconstitutional, thus removing one major point of difference. Other developments of the day were passage by the house of a huge de- ficiency appropriation to finance the public work and other proposals of the Roosevelt administration and the reaching of a new agreement on the veterans bill with a prospect that this controversy between congress and the president was settled. As the measure finally passed Fri- ay night, the tax section, to produce $220,000,000 a year for funding the $3,- 300,000,000 public works bond issue, ‘was almost entirely different from the house schedule which was built around ‘an increase in income taxes. Accept- tances of the senate’s plan, designed to be much easier on the small tax- payer, was regarded likely, however. The tax choice to be made in con- ference was between the following ‘two plans: Voted by the house: Increased normal income tax from 4 to 6 per cent on first $4,000 and from! 8 to 10 per cent on all above; increase of % cent in federal gasoline tax (now one cent); application of income rates against corporation dividends. By the senate: A tax of one-tenth of 1 per cent on corporation net worth, with a flat 5) per cent additional assessment on earnings above 122 per cent; a flat 5 per cent tax on corporation dividends, jto be deducted at source; an increase of % cent on the present gasoline tax: three year extension of corporation consolidated return authority with in- crease of 1 per cent in income tax rate on consolidated returns, instead » of present % of 1 per cent rate-up.

B. Lund, filed with the state board of auditors. In addition to the balance as of |March 15, Lund’s report shows $199,- {787.37 collections held but not booked, ‘making a total balance of $507,015.53. | Expenditures during the period of ;the audit, which covers the time be- tween the last audit dnd March 15, |when Frank A.

Car Costs Higher | In his comments on the audit, Lund says the car operating costs for the four months from Nov. 1, 1932, to | February 28, 1933, shows the per mile cost to be nearly double the average Per mile cost. He pointed out that the four winter months covered is a |period during which # large part of the cars are not in use, and consider- able repair work is done to put them jin shape for the coming season. Publication of the highway bulletin was discontinued with the issue of ‘January, 1933, the report says. “After paying up all accounts j against the bulletin venture,” Lund’s report says, “a cash balance of $89.82 remained which was paid over to O.

The president also would hold as a weapon over recalcitrant industrial minorities a power to license indus-| tries, but he would have to apply the license over an entire industry or unit where the fault lay and could not single out a geographica)] area for stopping a particular offense. This power would be used only as a ; last resort, but it is sweeping enough to ban interstate movement of goods of an industry by denying it a license To prevent a flood of imports when prices and wages go up the president could institute proceedings before the tariff commission with a view to de- claring a complete embargo. a limita- tion on imports or a itcensing of im- porters which in effect would be an additional tariff. Singling out the oil industry, the bill would give the president addition- ‘al power to ban interstate shipment of oil produced in violation of state conservation laws.

HONOR WEST AT DINNER Grand Forks, N. D., June 10.—(?)— Three hundred townspegple and dis- tinguished guests from other cities paid tribute to John C. West, incom- ing president of the University of INVESTIGATION OF | MORGAN ENDS; SEE NEW TAX PROGRAM | y Senate Votes to Remove Veil of | Secrecy from Income Tax | Payments Washington, June 10.—()—The senate’s investigation of J. P. Mor- gan and Company is over, for the present at least, but developing Sat- urday was a train of consequences which will seriously affect the coun- try’s income tax payers. Publicity for all tax returns was voted by the senate Friday night in an amendment to the industrial con- trol bill and there was every indica- tion that this removal of secrecy would be made law. A drive to prevent loss-showing stock sales designed to “evade or re- duce” income tax payments, was an- nounced by Guy T. Helvering, the new commissioner of internal revenue. Both were direct results of the Morgan inquiry’s disclosures, and of previous banking committee investi- gation results. The Morgan partners Paid no income tax in 1931 and 1932 and hardly any in 1930 because of losses established from shrinkage of security values. Charles E. Mitchell, former chairman of the National City bank, is on trial now on a tax evasion charge resulting from prev- ious senatorial investigation. The investigators who closed the re- markable hearings Friday night and released J. P. Morgan, his partners and other important men from the subpoenas which have held them here the better part of three weeks, in- tended to decide Saturday on a pro- gram for getting into operations of Kuhn, Loeb and company, and Dil- lon, Read and company, big private bankers like the Morgan firm, who are due for investigation next. These inquiries probably will be taken up in the fall, due to the im- minent adjournment of congress. The long Morgan inquiry ended with a parting shot from the central figure, J. P. Morgan, in which he con- demned what he called “unjust criti- cism” levelled at the selected clients to whom his firm sold stocks at bar- gain prices. Minnesota Bankers Shot During Holdup Ihlen, Minn., June 10.—(?)}—Two bankers were shot and wounded by four machine gun bandits who rob- bed the Ihlen State Bank of $1,000 here Friday. Ted Arp, cashier, working in ® rear room, was shot by the bandits as they entered, and Joe Evenson, presi- dent, was wounded in the leg when he failed to move fast enough to suit the invaders. Both Arp and Evenson were taken to a hospital at Pipestone, near here. Evenson was released. Arp probably will recover. ~ As the bandits fled, they took Evenson and three others along in their automobile as hostages, releas- ing them about a mile from town. Two Escaped Convicts . Are Nabbed in Texas San Angelo, Tex. June 10.—(7)— Billy Woods and Clifford Dopson, two of the 11 convicts who escaped from the Kansas penitentiary Memo- rial Day by kidnaping the warden, were captured Saturday at a school house southwest of Junction, Tex. Two others previously had been re- captured in Oklahoma, They are Lewis Bechtel and Frank Sawyer. Seven, including Wilbur Underhill and Harvey Bailey, leaders of the prison break, remain at large.

The weather bureau said he would encoun- ter fair to cloudy weather, with some local rain, but not fog, and light vari- able winds. Mattern’s hopes for a new around- the-world flight record were appar- ently shattered Saturday, but he con- tinued his battle with time confident he could establish an outstanding mark for the first solo flight around the globe. He was considerably behind the pace set by Harold Gatty and Wiley Post who, in 1931, circled the globe in eight days, 15 hours, and 51 minutes. Gatty-Post left Iikutsk when they were three days, 22 hours and 14 min- utes out of New York, but Mattern flew over Irkutsk six days, 13 hours, and nine minutes after leaving New York. FLIER HAS CHOICE OF SEVERAL ROUTES Walla Walla, Wash., Jine 10.—)— Jimmie Mattern, may attempt any one of several different routes from Khabarovsk across the Sea of Okhot- sk to Alaska, Mrs. Mattern said Sat- urday. “Jimmie has several alternate routes in mind,” she said, “and the one he will follow from Siberia to North America depends upon two things: the weather and the good will of Soviet officials. “If he can fly northeasterly from Khabarovsk, following along the Sea of Okhotsk, he can cut down his dis- tance.” SEVILLE TO CUBA IS SPANISH PAIR’S AIM Seville, Spain, June 10.—)—Two Spanish aviators, Capt. Mariano Bar- beran and Lieut. Joaquin Collar, were far out over the Atlantic Sat- urday on a flight to Cuba. Their departure was at 4:45 a. m. Saturday (11:45 p. m. E. 8. T. Fri- day) from Tablada airdrome. From Havana they planned to proceed directly to Mexico City. The Cuatro Vientos Earried nearly 1,500 gallons of gasoline, navigation apparatus, and letters to Havana from the Cuban consul. The last weather reports from Havana before the take-off said the weather was good on the other side of the Atlantic, with a little wind. Kraabel Is Renamed To Veterans Position Reappointment of T. O. Kraabel, Fargo, as veterans service commis- sioner for North Dakota was an- nounced Saturday by Governor Wil- lam Langer. | In making the announcement, the | governor said: “I have made a thor- ough investigation of activities of Mr. Kraabel. I find he has saved the state of North Dakota thousands of dollars by his careful, conscientious, and energetic work in behalf of the disabled veterans and after a confer- ence with Jack Williams, American Legion adjutant, and the American Legion members of the house and senate of the last legislature, I feel confident no better man could be named for this place.” Accidental Shooting Proves Fatal to Boy Grand Forks, N. D., June 10.—(?}— John Blue, 14, son of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Blue of this city, died Fri- day as the result of a bullet wound through his head. He was cleaning a rifle when the gun is believed to have exploded accidentally the shot entering the head near the right temple.

In charge of this company will be Major Harry W. O. Kinnard of the field artillery re- serve, and Captain John F. Hill of the Fourth Infantry stationed here. Leaving dates for the other four companies have not yet been set, Cap- tain Connor said. One company of 190 C. C. C. men,! with officers, already has left for California. When companies are sent to the six state points, all of the C. C. C. men trained at Fort Lincoln will have been sent away. The post's quota of 1,500 North Dakota C. C. C. men was reached during the week. Quartered at Fairgrounds The companies going to Bottineau | and Dickinson will be quartered at the fairgrounds in those cities, Cap-| tain Connor said. After the C. C. C. men have va- cated Fort Lincoln, 150 World War veterans will be quartered and trained at the post here for similar work, the adjutant said. These men will come on June 26 or after. The postoffice address of the 795th | company in California, made up largely of young men from Bismarck and Mandan and the surrounding dis- trict is Indian Diggings, the adjutant said. Indian Diggings is about 20 miles southeast of Placerville, Cal. The companies which will go to Minot, Jamestown, Devils Lake and Williston will be the same size as those going to Bottineau and Dickin- son. British to Announce Stand on War Debts London, June 10—(AP)—An an- nouncement regarding the British war debt installment due the United States next Thursday will be made Tuesday by Neville Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer. The chancellor's statement will be made before the house of commons and will make clear the government's position regarding the $75,950,000 in- stallment. Until then, it was learned in well informed quarters, no statement re- garding the debt situation will be is-; sued by official sources. AMERICA SENDS NOTICE IT EXPECTS PAYMENT Washington, June 10.—(#)—Notl- fication that war debts will be due next Thursday sped through diploma- tic channels Saturday to capitals al- ready abuzz with controversy over paying or defaulting. Following formalities customary to the excited week which already pre- ceeds the semi-annual due date, the Washington government sent iden- tical notes to each of the 13 debtor nations which, on June 15, will owe the United States a total of $144,- 170,674. In previous instances notifications of installments due were sent direct from the treasury to the financial! heads of the other nations. In this case they were prepared by the treas- ury but given to the state depart- ment for transmission. There was a disposition in some quarters to regard this factor as add- ing emphasis to the notice, as a re- minder of President Roosevelt's posi- tion of expecting payment.

SENATE COMMITTEE LISTS FACTS FOUND AT MORGAN INQUIRY Find That Financier Has Final Word on All Matters of Policy Washington, June 10.—(?)—Here are some of the main facts learned by the senate banking committee in its three-week inquiry into J. P. Mor- gan and Company. J. P. Morgan, head of the firm, has the final word on all matters of pol- icy in his banking house. On March 31, 1933, assets of the Morgan house were $317,837,000 of which $146,071,000 were in govern- ment securities; deposits were $238,- 739,000. At the close of 1932, total assets were $424,708,000 of which $224,000,- 000 were in government securities; | deposits were $340,000,000. No income taxes were paid by the 20 Morgan partners for 1931 and 1932 and only $48,000 for 1930, but from 1917 to 1929 they paid $51,538,000. Taxable income of young Thomas S. Lamont, Morgan partner, was reduced $114,000 in 1930 by losses established through sales of stocks directly and and indirectly to his wife. Helped Van Sweringens O. P. and M. J, Van Sweringen, Cleveland railroad executives often financed by Morgan, created special corporations to avail themselves of tax exemptions in transferring huge blocks of stock. ‘Their huge railroad empire was built on a $1,000,000 cash investment by the Van Sweringens and associates. Since the war, J. P. Morgan and Company has issued upwards of $6,- 000,000,000 in bonds, less than 2 per cent of which have defaulted. Prominent men who accepted invi- tations to buy stock from Morgan at bargain prices included the late Cal- vin Coolidge, William H. Woodin, Owen J. Roberts, Norman H. Davis, Newton D. Baker, John J. Raskob, FAIR AND COOLER IS OFFICIAL FORECAST OF WEATHER BUREAU East Still Sweltering As Tem- perature Takes Toll of Man And Beast DEATH LIST REACHES 125 Lower Middle West Enjoys Some Surcease But Mercury Rises in Southwest While a heat wave has been exact- ing a toll of 125 lives in the middle- west and east during the last few days, North Dakota has experienced comparatively cool weather, though temperatures have been higher than normal for this period of the year, according to Frank J. Bavendick, temporarily in charge of the federal weather bureau here. Mercury soared to a maximum of 89 degrees here Friday, but the pros- pect was that Saturday’s maximum would be lower. At 2 p. m. Saturday the temperature was 81. Cooler weather for Bismarck and North Dakota is forecast for Satur- day night and Sunday. Bismarck’s highest temperature this year was 92 degrees, recorded on the first day of June. Since then temperatures have been above 80 on all but two days. Rainfall Is Needed “Though this is fine growing weather,” Bavendick said, “what we need right now is rain.” Precipitation since Jan. 1 this year totals 5.47 inches, which is 1.38 inch- es below normal. Rainfall this month has been only .63 of an inch, com- NEBRASKA AMATEUR HAS FOUR - STROKE MARGIN OVER WOOD Spreadeagles Field of Leading Shotmakers with Sub-par Round Saturday ALL-TIME MARK THEATENED Youthful Star Has Chance: to Beat Mark Set by Evang, Equalled by Sarazen North Shore Golf Club, Glenview, Il, June 10.—()—Slipping badly after a spectacular outburst of sub- par golf, Johnny Goodman, Omaha amateur, dissipated part of his big lead in the final round of the Unit- ed States open golf championship Saturday. After starting 4-3-2, including an eagle and birdie, Goodman’s game wilted under the terrific heat and he was 39, three over par, to the turn. For 63 holes, Goodman had 250, while Craig Wood of Deal, N. J., Picking up three strokes with an out- going 36, had a total of 254.

As he waited for marshals to regain con- trol of the gallery at each tee. Off the eighth, a 22%&yarder, Goodman put a spoon shot into a left trap. He blasted out within 15 feet of the cup and took two putts for a 5, going two over par. He had to wait 10 min- utes before playing this hole and hundreds in the gallery, due to the heat and the struggle, deserted the pace-setter. It was a blistering aft- ernoon. Walter Hagen, although 15 strokeq behind Goodman at the start of the last round, went out with a sizzling 32, four strokes better than par. Hie had four birdies and was never over par. Cracking par for his second succrs- sive round with @ sparkling 70, Good- man increased his lead Saturday morning in the U. S. open golf cham- pared to a normal of 1.23 inches through June-9. Temperature here at 7 a. m. Sat- urday was 65 degrees, slightly warm- er than Friday. The low during the night here was 60. Lows throughout, the state ranged from 53 at Dickin- son to 63 at Carrington, Grand Forks, Hankinson and Oakes. Mercury dipped to the freezing point during the night at Edmonton, Alta, however, bringing a promise of cooler weather in North Dakota over the week-end. Temperatures recorded here this month: first, 92; second 81; third 83; fourth 85; fifth 91; sixth 78; sev- enth 77; eighth 77; and ninth 89. East Awaits Relief The east, still fainting under heat that had felled men and animals, Saturday waited for relief, according to the Associated Press. More than 125 persons died in a wave of steaming torridity that roll- ed first over the Middlewest three days ago, and then over the Atlantic Seaboard. Many of the deaths were directly due to the heat, some to re- lated causes. The Middlewest enjoyed some sur- cease after heat that killed more than a score in Illinois alone, but 100-degree heat returned to the southwest Friday. In or near New York six persons died Friday, more than 40 collapsed, and 20 horses dropped in the streets. Twenty-three persons have died in Pennsylvania as a result of the heat. WHEAT AND OATS HIT William G. McAdoo, and Charles Francis Adams. None of those named held public office at the time. The United Corporation, which Morgan and Company organized, has holdings in the largest group of util- ities companies in the country. Morgan and Company and six other firms pooled $250,000,000 to use in stabilizing 1929's crashing market. Final liquidation showed a profit to the participants of $1,000,000. Morgan partners hold 167 director- ships in banking, industrial and other corporations. Cavalier Man Named Customs Collector Washington, June 10.—()—Presi- dent Roosevelt Saturday sent another batch ‘of nominations to the senate and at the same time withdrew the name of Russell Hawkins of Oregon, submitted Friday to be a member of the Reconstruction Finance Corpora- tion.

The new high prices came in the wake of a government crop report. that predicted the smallest wheat harvest since 1904 and reports of new damage done to grain by continued hot weather. Wheat closed at 81 cents a bushel for December contract and the same delivery of oats went to 32%. cents. The rise for wheat was 1% cents and oats 1%. The rise came on the heels of the cated the winter wheat crop would be the smallest since 1904, only 341,- 000,000 bushels. Prices on all deliv- eries surged upward, the September and December moving a cent higher, the latter opening at 80% cents a bushel. The September delivery of oats climbed to 30 cents a bushel, a gain of & cent, with the hot weather re- Ported causing considerable damage to this grain. The upward progress of prices was impeded by profit-taking, but the market was strong enough to absorb most such sales without weakening perceptibly.

Runyan detected the error himself, made by Chick Evans, Jr., of Chicago, as scorer, and notified the United States Golf association Saturday morning but the disqualification was automatic. Runyan was given a 4 on the 15th hole, instead of which he had a 5. This gave him a total of 75, instead of 74. and 150 for two rounds. John G. Jackson, chairman of the rules com- mittee of the U. S. G. A., announced the decision “with regret.”
