- CAPPER URGES TAX INCREASEINFORUM Kansan Says Expenditure Cut Is Impossible in Radio Address. Senator Arthur Capper, Republican, of Kansas, sized up the reasons for tax increases in a radio speech last night with the blunt assertion that whilé it might, be possible for the administra- tion to reduce governmental expendi- tures, on )')BL)E{‘ by $900,000,000 to take care of the Treasury deficit, the “mem- | bers of Corgress know it cannot be done and so does the average citizen.” His a“dress was delivered in the Na- tiional Radio Forum arranged by The | Washington Star and broadcast over | 2 Nation-wide hook-up of the Colum- bia_ Broadcasting System. | Taking a decided stand against the | imposition of a general sales tax, Sen- | ator Capper coupled his own outline of | a taxation program with a plea for “a co-operative Congress that will suspend partisan activities and have in mind the general good of the country in its | time of neecl.” | “Let me say that I propose to co- | operate with any member, any group or | any party that has anything to offer | for the general good,” he added. Pledges Arms Cut Efforts. | Admitting that there is justification for the general outery for reduced | taxation, Senator Capper pledged him- | sclf to work for a reduction in Army and naval expenditures jn the new Congress, but reminded that the deficit in the Treasury only can be met by in- creased taxation. “I am fundamentally and forever op- posed to a general sales tax,” Senator Capper declared, adding that it “places . the tax burden’ still more heavily on the persons least able to afford it” and r.“it falls lightest upon those with the «Jargest incomes, on those whose prop- ‘erty the Government protects at the <largest expense, on those who profit “most from Government protection and are best able to pay for Government ‘protection.” In lieu of a general sales tax, Sen- ator Capper suggested that it may be .that the Government will have to levy some luxury or excise taxes. “There i Justification for such taxes when the mecessity is great,” he explained. His own personal plan for taxation, Senator Capper said, would call for ‘higher inheritance taxes and higher in- come tax rates on incomes in the higher brackets. “The higher bracket incomes can and showd {ny & higher ‘rate of income taxes than they now do,” he asserted. Along with increased inéome and in- heritance taxes, Senator Capper de- clared the Government should levy gift taxes to prevent evasion of the inheri- tance taxes. Reviewing the administration’s efforw to reduce governmental expenditurdh Senator, Capper said, nowever, he wia opposed to any reduction in the salarjes of Government employes, except in the case of “high salaried officials.” Senator Capper heartily indorsed ‘President Hoover's attempts to bring about a reduction in world naval arma- ments and praised his cutting of the l;;vy budgets.

CHICAGO, November 28.—Vice Pres- ident Charles Curtis asserted his faith tonight in the Nation's future, and in its business and real estate values. He called upon financiers to take money out of hiding in banks and put it to work in industry. The Vice President was s speaker at the annual dinner of the Chicago Real Estate Board. Working Money Urged. “It seems to me,” he sald, “that the time has come to put money to work. Money properly invested would restore eonfidence more quickly than anything else, and such investment can be made safely at this time. “I hope the great financiers will change their practice of holding their money in the banks, where it is now said to be a ‘drug, nnd: it will be kept busy in industry. Capital no¥ waiting for investment, once set to work, will greatly increase employment undkbrln( cheer to thousands out of work.” Sees Realty Come Back. He said he anticipated “the greatest comeback in the history of real estate” when confidence is fully restored. Harry 8. Kissel of Springfield, Ohio, resident of the National Association of al Estate Boards, said he believed relief for frogen real estate security will be an outstanding problem before the coming Congress, and felt President Hoover and the administration are “thoroughly alive to the seriousness of the situation.” beite: | WATSON DECLARES ECONOMIC ISSUES WILL RULE SESSION .

Need of Revenues. ‘The Washington Senator said that additional revenue needed by the Gov- ernment will have to ve prcvided for. Inereased taxes, he sald, should, as far as possible, be levied on “people who are able to pay.” Discussing the problem of govern-| mental appropriations as a whole, Sen- ator Jones denied that there had been extravagance. For that reason, he said, he did not see how any large cur- tailment can be made. In 1930, he said, he analyzed the total annual ap- propriation and found that approxi- mately 70 per cent of the total went for past and future wars. Of current appropriations, the chairman pointed out fully $500,000,000 was to help meet the unemployment situation. “We must provide some additional revenues,” he said. “There was not much complaint whén we increased taxes for war, and there ought not to be now.” He added that he did not wish to impose taxes on business in a way that would retard industry. Senator Jones sald he was opposed to reducing salaries of Government em- ployes. The Senator sald Government salaries were slow in going up when conditions were good, and he did not believe they should be curtailed now. Senator Hull indicted the whole sys- tem of governmental finance in_this country, Federal, and called upon the Democrats :? begin a ,campaign to better condi- ons, “There is manifest necessity,” he said, “for basie reform of the spirit and p of retrenchment, financing_in our entire Government affa People and government—Fed- eral, State ahd local—are today groan- | ing under colossal loads of ever-increas- g taxes, proaching stage. ‘The dominant fiscal leadership expenditure and debt, ap- a crjtical and unbearable l'of the Nation since 1920 cannot escape its measurable share of the responsi- bility for these revolutionary develop- ments.” Senator Mull sald that taxes of the various Federal, State and local govern- ments had incréhsed from §7,600,000,000 in 1922 to $9,790,000,000 in 1929. No attempt, he said, had been made to treat all of these taxes as one common burden on the 123,000,000 ¢f American Foo le.

Representative Hawley said yesterday after discussing taxes with President Hoover that he knew of “no one who is qualified to say how much moré of a tax burden can be placed on industry at this time.” “Lengthy hearings will be necessary and should be held to answer this ques- tion,” said the Oregon blican, who he’:?ed the last Ways and Means Com- mittee. ‘Would Avoid Increase. Hawley has been studying revenue and expenditure statistics furnished by Treasury experts and so far has not altered his belief a tax increase should be_avoided if possible. Meanwhile, the next two ranking Republicans on the committee, Repre- sentatives Treadway of Massachusetts and Bacharach of New Jersey, were near agreement on how to trim a pros- pective $2,000,000,000 deficit. ‘Treadway said about one-half fthis sum could be met by certain tax in- creases and the remainder by reduced expenditures and bond issues.

By the Associated Press. Froin Chairman O'Connor of the Shipping Board and the Seatrain lines came a challenge yesterday to a charge of Representative La Guardia that the | board had loaned construction funds to a British steamship company. O'Connor’s statement was in answer to a letter from the New York Repud- lican in which the House member warned the board against letting British lines aip their fingers into the United Btates Treasury. La Guardia promised to bring charges looking to “an impeachment an indict- ment or a removal” as a result of the board's authorization of a loan to the Seatrain company for constructing two vessels to carry mail under a recent contract with the Post Office Depart- ment. Hardin B. Arledge, representing the carrier line here, in a letter to La Guar- dia, replied to each charge categorically, and térmed “absolutely untrue” any statements made to La Guardia that the Seatrain lines are British con- trolled or that mail specifications were drawn 80 only one company could bid. “We have not loaned money to a British company,” was O'Connor’s terse comment. “If there i anybody who can prove that to the satisfaction of the board, the action would Te- scinded.” . The La Guard! letter contended that a contract such as that approved with the Beatra:n Co. Friday ‘“could not honestly be awarded.” Officials said the communication would be referred to the board members tomorrow. ‘The New York Representative con- tended the Shipping Board had rushed the loan througn ‘“‘because of his pro- test.” The loan, authorized in two parts, is for, roughly, $2,500,000, rep- o resenting not more than three-fourt) of the construciion and equipment costs of two vessels. ‘The board saidl the ships, to be used between New Orleans and Havana, would be built by the Sun Shipbuilding | & Dry Dock Co. at Chester, P4, and that Seatrain Lines, Inc., would take over all assets of the Overseas Rall- ways, Inc, its subsidiary. Board offi- cials sald the subsidiary operated the line’s one boat now under Canadian registry.

Mex,, that food supplies apparently had reached all known parties of marooned Indians in the snowbonund Western New Mexico atea. Supt. Hunter went to Zuni after he had received offers of airplane oper- ators to carry food to starving Navajo and Zuni tribesmen. Having received latest reports on the situation, he ex- fmsed appreciaiion, but said indica- lons were the proffered aid would not be required. “We have looked over the situation carefully this sfternoon,” Hunter said “and we find that food supplies which we dispatched during the t 24 hours apparently have reached all known groups of Indians who were snow- bound.” Many Roads Opened.

Snow Lasts Four Hours. ‘The snow today lasted about four hours. The sun came out brightly be- fore sundown. From Washington there came evi- dence that the Great White Father, the Indian conception of the Federal Gov- ernment, was not unmindful of the plight of his dusky-skinfied wards. The ce of Indian Affairs notified Supts. John A. Hunter of the Southern Navajo jurisdiction and W. A. Trotter of the Zuni agency to spare no expense in re- iieving and rescuing the Indians. The superintendents at Zuni,and at the Southern Navajo agency estimated there are still 200 Navajos on the Cerro Alta Mesa and at least 200 more on the Santa Rita. Pive trucks, with 112 Navajos who sought shelter at the Zuni agency, passed through Gallup en route to their Navajo homes. Six hundred Navajo storm victims were to be moved from their temporary shelter at Zunl. Additional efforts were made to take forage to snowbound sheep and goats on the Zuni and Navajo reservations. No estimate of the losses among the 600,000 animals on the reservations is yet available. BOY TO NAME GUARDIAN One of Principal Heirs to $3,000,- 000 Estate Selects Father.

Invéstigation of the Old Colonial Tea House shooting, in which one man was Killed and five other persons were seri- ously wounded early Monday, definitely turned to Baltimore last night, follow- ing the arrest of a man and a woman on charges of violating the Mann act. Acting on a “tip,” two Eastern dis- trict policemen picked up the couple near the Baltimore water front yes- terday. ‘The man identified himself as Mitchel Munteanu, 35, an Atlantic City “singing waiter,” and the woman, who sald she was his wife, gave her name as Mrs. Lorraine Ruth Mun- teanu, 24. Both were booked at the Eastern Police Station as being “held for Fed- eral authorities on suspicion of violat- ing the Mann act.” . To Be Quizzed Today. Lieut. Cornelius Roche of the Balti- more Detective Bureau, who is inves- tigating the Bladensburg tea house shooting, declared he would question the couple some time today. Although the officers who made the arrest had no information definitely linking the pair with the roadhouse shooting, Lieut. Roche pointed out, the fact they acknowledged being connect- ed with the white slave traffic justified an intensive interrogation. Meanwhile, the detective said, an- other arrest in connection with the shooting was expected momentarily. Accompanied by Cap*. Charles H. Burns, chief of the Baltimore Detec- tive Bureau, Lieut. Roche and . William Feehley, who also is working on the case, the Monumental city, ruxmin’ down all available clues, until after 11 o'clock last night. Roche and Feehley will return to Hyattsville tomorrow to continue their investigation. “One of the first things I'm going to do,” the lieutenant said, “is to check up on a bullet-marked automobile ifound on a vacant lot in Washington. The car answers the general descrip- tion of the one used by the men re- sponsible for the shooting, and I think it will bear a lot of looking into.” Parked Day of Shooting. The car, with two bullet holes in the i right side, was parked on a lot in the 2000 block of klin street northe east the day of the shooting. It was examined yesterday by . Col Andrew Gasch of Hyattsville and De- tective C. A. Berry of the twelfth pre- cinct. The man sald to have left the ma- chine on the lot, it was pointed out, has the same name as one of the girls ar- rested as a witness to the Roche declared he planned to tion the man, who is said to live in the 600 block of H street. “I have a witness who can definitely identify the car used by the gunman,” the detective added, “and I'm going to have him look at the one found in THREE HURT IN RIOT Meeting Dispersed by 100 Police- men, One of Whom Is Un- horsed and Struck.

ADAMS GIVES VIEW BY NAVAL OFFICERS IN ANNUAL REPORT (Continued From First Page.) would be asked to authorize construce tion of an unspecified number of naval vessels and to approve legislation pro- viding further for national security and defense. He listcd these items among legislation “of paramount importance to the Navy” which he said failed of enactment in {he last Congress. He added an effort would be made to ob- tain their passage as soon as pos- sible after the new Congress meets. The “firs-year” program, which was turned down by the last Congress, sought $90.635,000 for an aircraft car- rier and airplanes, flying deck cruiser, 6-inch gun cruisery 4 submarines, 6 airplanes for the U. S. 8. Ranger, under construction, and for experimental fund for subma:ine engines. e Mr. Adamns rcpeated his ‘recom- mendation of last year for higher pay, “if and when thLe ‘economic conditions - warrant,” for officers and enlisted then in the higher brackets as an incentive to younger men. A “drastic cut” in ships to be retained in commission was reported. The en- listed personnel, exclusive of those paid for by the Veterans’ Bureau, was re- duced from 84,500 to 79,99} at the end of the last fiscal year. He told the President Navy with- drawals from the Treasury were “ma- terially less” in 1931 than if there had been no slowing up in expenditures. Without increasing the Navy personnel, Adams said, it is possible to man the new ships only by placing ships out of commission or cutting down allowances of those in commission. Varied legislation will be asked of Congress to prohibit making photo- | raphs, sketches or maps of military or naval defenses: for conservation of the naval petroleum and oil-shale reserves; for admitting officers’ dependents, nurses and enl| men of naval service to naval hospitals, and for regulating the tribution and promotion of commis- sloned officers of the Marine Corps. The report review the Navy's progress in aviation, with completion of a r ahead of schedule of the 1,000-airplane bullding program, and gave the con- dition of the fleet as generally good. .
