PRESIDENT THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. EASTER THRONGS DEFY GHILL WINDS _ Slight Cold at Services in Arlington Cemetery. Led by President and Mrs. Hoover, approximately 8,000 Washingtonians and visitors braved chill winds to attend the first Easter sunrise service at Arlington National Cemetery yesterday morning. Baring his head during the devotional | exercises, the President caught a slight cold, but it did not prevent him, later in the morning, from attending Easter services in the little Quaker meeting house which was -«crowded with visitors, many of whom had come to see the Chief Executive. The services at Arling- ton, held in the amphitheater at the ‘Tomb of the Unknown Soldier under the auspices of the Grand Commandery of the Knights Templar in the District, were broadcast over a coast-to-coast network of the Columbia system. ‘Uncomfortably Cool. While Easter morning was uncom- fortably cool, thousands of visitors who thronged to religious observances and places of public interest were thank- ful for the absence of rain. While the Arlington program was being held, some 10,000 persons joined in a pilgrimage to ‘Walter Reed Hospital for a colorful sun- { rise service, staged in the hospital garden. About 600 nurses and hospital at- tendants, clothed in red, white and blue uniforms, formed a great “living cross.” | Col. Julian E. Yates, chief of Army chaplains, preached the sermon after members of the Army Student Nurse | Corps presented a tableau—"The Empty | ‘Tomb.” Visitors to the Capital who lb(ended; the services at Arlington found the spec- tacle and the sight of assembled Gov- ernment officials worth the trouble of foregoing breakfast. It was an impres- sively staged ceremony, with music fur- nished by the United States Marine Band and the Masonic Glee Club. Five | ‘White Hcuse cars carried the members of the presidential party to the ceme- tery grounds. Besides Mr. and Mrs. Hoover and the President’s aides, the party included Miss Peggy Large, Mrs. Hoover’s niece; Miss Susan Dyer, a Styles . . .

Shortly before 11 o'clock the play- ground department Of the District public schools presented two Swedish folk dances and one English folk dance, all in costume.

They later issued to the south portico and from there watched eagerly while the larger party was in progress on the south lawn. Officials at the ‘White House expressed surprise at the size of the attendance in view of the unfavorable weather. ‘The parents seemed undaunted by the rain and their children disregarded it altogether, roll- ing eggs upon the grass and playing happily while elders looked on.

The top MONDAY, APRIL 6. 1931.° BINGHAN RAPPED ON TAX INCREAS Watson, George and Other Leaders Hit Plan to Hoist Income Levies. By the Associated Press. Factional leaders of Congress looked with little favor today on the proposal by Senator Bingham that income taxes | be increased and extended to curb gov- ernmental extravagance. The _Connecticut Republican no sooner had made his statement favor- ing a blanket increase in levies and an extension to smaller incomes than re- sponsible members of both the Senate and House objected. Senator Watson of Indiana, the Re- publican floor leader, said: “I am op- posed to any further taxation because I don't think it is necessary under ex- isting conditions.” Senator Norris of Nebraska, an-inde- pendent Republican leader, asserted that, while he would not object to a hike if the expected $700,000,000 deficit materialized, “the increase should be applied in inheritance taxes and on the higher brackets, or larger incomes.” Harris Rejects Idea. Senator Harris of Georgla, ranking Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, said: “I am opposed to Senator Bingham’s plan in toto.” Representative La Guardia of New York, a House independent leader, pre- dicted there would be an increase, but added: “There will be no lowering of the present tax exemption and that is just 2s certain as day follows night. The tax increase in the next Congress will be such that Senator Bingham and his half dozen 'in the Senate surely will vote against.” Leaders Oppose Increase. Senator Bingham's proposal was the first in discussions of the approaching $700,000,000 deficit to suggest tax de- mands be made on smaller incomes. Some legislators have said they would favor increasing the levies on bigger incomes, while leaders of both parties and in both houses have insisted greater taxes will not be necessary. Others have admitted that any agi- tation for a tax increase at the next session would be embarrassing to both parties because of the economic sijua- tion and the approaching presidential election. President Hoover believes an increase will not be necessary if Congress re- stricts appropriations. Republican Leader Tilson of the House thinks an Increase is not now needed and should not become mandatory. Members of both major parties have promised to co- Eerate to keep down expenditures at the next session, thus eliminating a need for more money.

It was Easter Sunday and business had been all that he had expected. He was particularly pleased when young man, who seemed to be a rea gift to Easter, walked into.the shop. He was neatly tailored and asked for a flower to “top him off.” “Just a simple sprig of sweet peas would do very well,” he sald. “But,” said Mr. Papatomy, peas in a button hole? Don't you, after all, want these flowers for your wife or mother?” “No darling,” the young man replied. “I want everything for myself,” and hgving made this clear, he drew a pis- tol, took $495 from Mr. Papatomy, locked him up in the cold storage room among the lilles and sweet peas and de- parted. “He was,” sald Mr. Papatomy to the first policeman he could find, “a tough PRINCESS SAFE IN MISHAP Auto Ditched With Beatrice, Mother of Spanish Queen.’ TORQUAY, England, April 6 (#).— Princess Beatrice, mother of Queen Victoria of Spain and aunt of King George V, was involved in an automo- bile aceldent yesterday, but escaped unharmed.

The former pastor refused. - The evangelist was shot in the back and left side as he returned with Mrs. Rider to his motor car. Dropping to his knees, he prayed for his assailant. “I would rather go back to Kansas City in a box,” he said, “than to leave this community while there is so muéh | bad feeling in it.” 3 C. P.
