CONGRESS IS GIVEN | TWO SHIP POLICIES + Senator Jones Sees Subsidy| Unlikely and Urges Outright | Government Operation. | By the Assocfated Press Two proposals looking to the de- velopment and maintenance of a merchant mar adequate to the! needs of the fon were presented today to Congre: Both are sponsored by Chairman Jones of the Senate commerce com- mittee. One provides for Government ownership and operation and the other for eration under Stating his own firm con Congress would not provide the aid | by subsidy or otherwise that would fnduce private capital and energy to give the countr merchant fleet, Senator Jones said there one way to keep the Americ on the seven seas and that through the Government Government Money Asked. “The Government must furnish the money, build the ships and directly or_indirectly operate them,” he said. “That being the only way open to u I am in favor of adopting it. We can Once we decide to do it other s and other governments will k done, Then will uncertainty give way to certainty Then will our competitors know that they have a rival that they cannot defeat or destroy * “One of the greatest handicaps our shipping has today in getting business is the uncertainty of the continuance of the service. In every port In South America the merchants and business men are warned give their business to us. Our failure in the pas &nd our failure now to follow a polic: to give us a permanent merchant Mmarine is pointed out and the mer: chants in those ports are warned of the consequences to them when we cease the service. Ships Declared Essential. “A few days ago we passed a bill $300.000,000 for our Merchant ships are just as essential to our security in time of danger as naval vessels. With one 3 ions we would i e | | | to serve adequately the service now under way, with such new ones as may be deemed necessary, and a replacement and maintenance program could be carried out at an annual expense not exceeding $50,- 000,000, In my judgment, over a period of years this fleet would replace, expand &nd maintain itself. The benefits to commerce, the benefits to every line of industry in the country affected by ocean rates, would every year far ex ceed any annual maintenance ex- penditure. Not only would we get the commercial benefits, but our essential shipyards would be maintained against & great national need. This in itself would be a most substantial henefit to the country in time of peace as well as in war, Argues Farmers’ Viewpoint. “The farmer needs an American merchant marine. He needs it more than any great industry ‘because of his need of markets .that can be reached only by ships. His condition today i= in no small degree due to the consequences coming from the lack of ships when the war began. His prod- ucts rotted at-the dock- and in the bin, because there were no ships to | carry them to the markets crying out for them. “It seems to me that of all our peo ple the farmer should be the most and insistent upon having an American merchant marine and be the most earncst in supporting any meas- ure that can be gotten through that will offer a reasonable hope of a merchant marine. It would be a fit- ting complement to the pending MeNary-Haugen bill if we would pass & bill that would give us a merchant marine commensurate with our wealth, power, commerce and position among the nations of the world.” ‘Will Wear Greek Costumes.

WILE BOOSTS CAMPAIGN OF CASUALTY HOSPITAL Total Collected for New Building Reaches $69,015—Dance Aids Fund. W An appeal for hingtonians to subscribe to the $250,000 fund being raised to build a new Casualty Hos- pital was made by Frederic William Wile, local newspaper man, at a luncheon of the arive workers held yesterday at the New Willard. Mr. Wile cited statistics to show that Washingtonians spent half a million dollars in one year on the world series and they certainly should be willing to spend $250,000 on a perma- nent hospital. Funds collected now total $69,015 and the contributions of s, it is stated. More than 150 persons attended a dance given for the benefit of the drive at the Washington Hospital last night.

George Griffin Is in Serious Con- dition in Hospital. George Griffin, 35 years old, of Ken- sington, Md., had one eye torn out and possibly sustained a fracture of the skull early this morning, when his automobile was wrecked against a barricade in front of the plant of the Potomac Electric Power Co., near Benning Bridge. Preston Martines, also of Kensington, who was with Griffin, escaped with slight injuries. The barricade, police declared, was erected to prevent motorists from driving their cars into a partially con- cealed ditch. Griffin was taken to Casualty Hospital in another car and his condition was reported to be serious. Sponges are marine animals that breed in Spring.

A merchant may build an addition to his store at a cost of $25,000. This is a capital expenditure for an addition to his a sets. Capital expenditures are not d ductible. Distinctlon is made penditure for an asset and in connection with an asset. If the merchant should, during the year, spend $500 on repairs to his building, such as repainting the roof or repair- ing broken windows, he may deduct such amount as a business expense. Medical, law or other professional books, machinery, tools, implemen or surgical instruments purchased by a taxpayer for use in his busine trade or profession, and which are a permanent character, are capltal as- sets, and their cost is not deductible. The purchase price of an automobile, even when used wholly for business or professional purposes, is a capital ex penditure and not deductible. The cost of gasoline, repairs and upkeep of an automobile is deductible if used wholly in business.

Hubbard, wealthy manufacturer, handed a check for $50,000 to attorneys representing Miss Anne Caldwell, New York musi- cal comedy actress. The sum repre- sented the damages awarded Miss Caldwell by a jury. The settlement came ag a surprise, for Hubbard had announced he would ask the United States (:Arc\_llt Court of Appeals for a new trial fter a similar motion was denied in ‘ederal Court, Miss Caldwell sued for $500,000, alleging that the manufacturer pro- posed marriage to her in Atlantic City, but later refused to wed her, The jury found that a marriage con- tract existed and, in arriving at the $50,000 damage award, the different amounts suggested by Jjurors were added and divided by 12. In addition to the $50,000 turned over to Miss Caldwell's attorneys today, Hubbard paid the court costs with interest, amounting to $944. Announcement Mr. Edmund J.
