THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, .0 SUGAR TARIFF FIGHT GAINS MOMENTUM Hearings on Sliding Scale to Be Reported Next Week, Smoot Announces. By the Associated Press. The controversy over the increase in | the sugar tariffl has gathered momen- tum with Chairman Smoot of the Sen- ate finance committee announcing hearings would be reopened next week | to permit discussion of the sliding scale | he is preparing as a substitute for the | House rate. The Utah Senator expressed confi- dence of meeting some of the criticism of his proposed sliding scale when it is | actually disclosed. He said there were | some sugar producers who feared his substitute would void the House action, | but explained that he was adjusting a | scale to meet market conditions. 1f the | market went skyrocketing at _any time | “it_ couldn't be blamed on the sugar | tariff,” he added. Cuban Rate Creates Dispute. The decision of the House to boost the tariff rate to 3 cents a pound and 2.46 cents for Cuba, created one of the major points of dispute on the tariff The Utah Senator's statement, v, was regarded by some as extending assurance that the House rates would not be materially affected by _his substitute. Meanwhile, the Republicans of the finance committee are going ahead in their revision of the House rates. Night | sessions were proposed by Senator Smoot and by Senator Watson of In- diana. the Republican leader, if they are necessary to get the bill ready for consideration by the time the Senate reconvenes August 19.

Reports from Cuba that a combina- #ion of Cuban and European sugar pri ducers was being formed for the pur- pose of controlling the sugar market, stirred up additional fury over this tariff schedule.

The decision was rendered to the Consolidated Engineering Co., which is building the new Department of Com. merce Building. This company asks the Government to include in the early part payments, which are made regu- | larly by the Government, a payment of | 823742250, as & premium paid to a surety to secure performance of the building contract. ‘The McCarl decision, which held that this sum could not now be paid to the contractors in full, was inter- preted in all quarters, however, as “bookkeeping decision,” which will in no way affect the total amount which | the contractor will receive for putting up the building, $13,567,000. McCarl sald that the cost was necessary ex- penditure by the contractors, but un- der the law he could not be reimbursed for all of it now.

Justice Jennings Bailey of the District Supreme Court, yesterday issued a rule on the members of the Public Utllities Commission to show cause August 12 | why they should not be required to set a date for a public hearing on a petition of the Washington Consumer's Guild, 16 Jackson place for the “join- ing” ‘of the railway systems of the | Capital Traction Co. and the Washing- ton Railway & Eleciric Co. ‘The order of the court is based on a petition filed by the guild through E. C. Riegel, director, asking for a writ| of mandamus against the commission for failure to grant a hearing on the| petition of the guild, flled with the commission June 6. Riegel tells the court that June 13 he received a letter| from the executive secretary of the| commission that the matter would be called to the attention of the commis- sion at its next executive meeting. July 9, he says, he was informed by letter from the commission that there was nothing pending before the commission looking to the “joining” of the railway systems and that the request of the guild would be investigaled and care- fully considered. On the next day, he states, he wrote the commission that the application of the guild was Intended to furnish the necessary initiating measure under the public_utility law and announcing the intention of the guild to take “appro-; priate action to compel the commission to perform its duty.” July 19 the guild sent another letter asking an expres- sion of opinion from the commission concerning the application, to which no response was received, the court was informed. Riegel says the law requires that a hearing be granted to determine the interest of the person making applica- tion to the commission for action and for subsequent action by the commis- sion after interest has been established.

Williams Builds Ship Expected to Make 300- Mile Speed. U. S. Hopes of Winning Trophy Are Pinned on Small Craft. BY ALLEN QUINN, Associated Press Aviation Editor. America’s hopes to wrest the Schneider seaplane racing trophy from Great Brit- | ain are pinned on a small, powerful | monoplane which has been complefed at the Philadelphia naval alrcraft fac- tory and is being tested by Lieut. Al Williams of the Navy. Details of the plane’s construction are being guarded. These are known, however, to depart from previous Amer- ican racing plane practice, in that the craft is of monoplane rather than bi- plane design. It is powered with the Packard 24-cylinder “X” engine, which is understood to have undergone radi- cal changes at the hands of experts at the naval factory. The engine devel- ops more than 1,000 horsepower, Given Taxiing Tests. ‘The little seaplane is being given taxing tests on the Delaware River, at | Philadelphia, and later may be taken to Annapolis for speed tests. It is said to be capable of a speed of more than | 300 miles an hour. | If the tests show the little craft up | to expectations it will be taken to Eng- land by Lieut. Willlams for the Schnei- der races, at Cowes September 6. The last Schneider race, in 1927, was won for Great Britain by Flight Lieut. S. N. Webster, at Venice, who piloted his supermarine racer over the 350-kilo- | meter course at a rate of 281.685 miles an hour. The United States had no entry. | Provision for the entry of Williams' plane in the Schneider race was made | by the National Aeronautic Association last January. A blank entry for the | | LIEUT. United States was sent in, to be used in event the plane should prove spccess- ful in its tests. When the Army and Navy decided, in 1926, to cease building high-speed 1acing planes the tall, determined-jawed Williams set about building his own. His efforts to get a plane into the 1927 Schneider race failed, but he didn't let that discourage him. He went for backing to wealthy in- terested cilizens, to manufacturers for materials and to naval officlals for c operation. The Mercury Flying Corpo- ration, with Williams &t its head, was formed to build the plane and col AL WILLIAMS. | struction was started in the naval air- craft factory. Night and day, for months, little be- | sides the plane has occupied the mind of the naval flyer. Closely he has watched every detail of its construc- tion and guarded its secrets. Now it is almost ready to go into the air for the tests which will determine whether the United States is to have an entry to pit against the planes built with the resources of foreign governments in the Schneider race. DEBT 0.K. BY L. 3. IS EXPECTED SOON Ratification of French Accord Slated for Early Action by Congress. | Approval by Congress of the $4,025,- 000,000 French war debt settlement is expected at the extra session by Gov- | ernment officials, who received news of | the settlement’s ratification vesterday by the French Senate with considerable | relief, but without surprise. President Hoover is expected to au- thorize a postponement of the $400,- 000,000 French war supplies debt pay- | ment due August 1 as soon as Presi- | dent Doumergue of France signs the Mellon-Berenger agreement. | Postponement Authorized. | Payment of this war supplies debt is | provided for in the settlement and Con- | gress has authorized the postponement in the maturity date of this loan in the event of ratification by France of the general agreement before August 1. | “"“IL was in the best interest of France | to approve the general debt settlement | and it will be & help to her and the | whole world,” said Senator Smoot of | Utah, chairman of the Senate finance | committee. | Although he opposed the other debt | settlements between this_country and her allies, Chairman Borah of the Sen- ate foreign relations committee ex- pressed the view that congressional ap- proval would be given the agreement.

Eighty-nine per cent of the refunds | and credits reported to the committee, | which passes upon those above $75,000, | were for the vears preceding 1922, and | it pointed to this a- offering the “hope that with the final : >ttlement of excess | profits tax years, the annual amount required for the payment of taxes er- | roneously collected will be very substan- | tially reduced.” The three provisions which the com- | mittee said accounted for 42 per cent of | the refunds were taxes on invested cap- | ital, special assessments and amor tion. These have not been iu since 1921. Simplification Needed. The report said “The most trouble- some provisions in our present revenue act are those necessitating the valuation of ostates; the consolidation of returns for affliated companies: the determina- tion of depreciation, obsolescence and depletion; the valuation of inventories and valuations for determining gain and loss.” . “It is evident” it continued, “that the future simplification of the income tax law must of necessity rest largely on a more simple and definite method of determining valuations and other questions of judgment.” The report reviewed at length numer- ous settlements, including the $15.752,- ( 000 United States Steel refund, and the $1.287,000 Aluminum Co. of America settiement. L. H. Parker, chief of the bureau of Investigation of the committee, said the method of determining the amount of invested capital which was involved in the United States Steel case not only afected the taxes of that company for the vears 1918 to 1920, but would arise in other important cases for the tax years involving invested capital returns. . Abyssinia is the principal headquar- ters of the present-day slave trade. It is estimated that about one in five of the population of that country is a slave. force | 8>3 ARQUTIGIS HELD AT HOOVER FELD Program Is Opened by Pa- rade Featuring Six Different Types of Planes. __An air parade over the city featur- ing six different types of planes inaugu- rated the first annual air outing and circus held today at Hoover Field under the auspices of the Vincent B.
