TAX REVISION WORK - WILL BEGIN OCT. 19 Committee to Present Bill to House in December, Green Announces. Work on a tax revision bill will be begun by the House wavs and means committee October 19, Chairman Green announced yesterday. Mr. that public hearings on the proposed bill would probably run for two weeks, and that then the com- mittee would get down to the detailed work and have the bill ready for presentation to the House when it meets in December. In his opinion the Iouse will pass the bill before Christmas holidays and it will become a law in time to apply to the taxes due next year. Arrangements have been made by Chairman Green for a force of Treas- ury experts to co-operate during the Summer and early Fall with experts employed by the committee in going over technical features of the revenue law and in preparing for considera- tion by the committee of proposals designed to improve and expedite ad- minfstrative work. Recent suggestions looking to the elimination of dual taxation on the part of States and the Federal Gov- ernment received support today in the anouncement by the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States of the re- sults of a referendum dealing with the question. The constituent organizations hold- ing membership in the national cham- ber voted overwhelmingly in an ex- presion of opinion that the Federal Government should repeal its present estate tax, should refrain from im- posing estate and inheritance taxes in the future, and should join with rep- resentatives of the States in co-ordi- nating their taxation system. “Death taxes have, by an unbroken series of precedents, been recognized as exclusively a fleld for State tax- ation, except in time of war emer- gency,” the committee submitting the referendum report to members of the chamber contended. “At present, State taxes on inheritance and estates are numerous and burdensome.

POTSDAM, Germany, Fraulein Ida von Hindenburg, Presi- dent von Hindenburg's aged and only sister, is greatly worried over clup- pings which have reached her from American papers setting forth that Mrs. Caroline Eiermann of Toledo claims to be a sister of Germany's first citizen. “I have read printed items about President von Hindenburg's sister in America with great surprise and dis- comfiture,” she declared emphatically to the Assoclated Press correspond ent. “How is it possible that such a wholly erroneous statement can be{ thought out? Never had we four— my three brothers and I—another sis. ter. Please do whatever you can to deny Frau Eiermann’s claims.” Although her brother has been Presi- dent for nearly two months, Fraulein von Hindenburg has not visited him at the Executive Palace, as she is in frail health. A Toledo dispatch of- May-1, dis- tributed by another press association,- stated that “probably the least sur- prised person in the United States at the election of Paul von Hindenburg a6 President of the German Republic was Mrs. Caroline Eiermann, the field marshal’s sister.” The dispatch went ,on to say that she refused to be interviewed, but that on several occasions Von Hin- denburg had sought her advice on im- portant matters.

Despfte frequent Board of Super of the county, the sheriff said noth- ing definite has been done toward relfef of the conditions.
