The war-time surtax rates on in- comes of $100,000 and over were forced into the new revenue bill to- day in the House.

Vice President Charles Curtis will undoubtedly be renominated as Presi- dent Hoover's running mate when the Republican National Convention meets in Chicago next June, David Mulvane, veteran member of the Republican Na- tional Committee from Kansas, said to- day. He said the Kansas delegation to the National Convention would be in- structed for President Hoover and for Vice President Curtis. ‘While Mr. Mulvane admitted he had heard a member of the Republican Na- tional Committee suggest that it would be well -to supplant Mr. Curtis with a more “liberal”—from the prohibition point of view—candidate for Vice Presi- dent, he said he believed any move- ment to displace Mr. Curtis would get nowhere.

A. Arnold of this city, head of the American Taxpayers' League, adding that their methods were to send letters to constituents of Con- gressmen urging them to protest certain taxes or tariffs. Arnold was scored by the Senate Lobby Committee in an investigation in 1930. Hits Illinois Group. Rainey charged that the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association was lobby- ing against the sales tax, while Edward N. Hurley of Chicago was in favor of it. Rainey, asked whether it was neces- sary to balance the budget or whether a substitute could not be found, replied that Chicago had “found a way” to get along without forcing the payment of taxes. As a result, that city owes the State $75,000,000, he said, which “likely ‘i'l!l’hne"r be collected.” SEIZED NAZI PAPERS CHECKED BY POLICE Press Jokes at Alleged Hitler Plot With Comment “Grandma Is 8till Living.” By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, March 18.—Police investi- 8ators were going over tons of docu- ments scized yesterday in the nation- Wide raids on National Socialist meet- ing places and today's administration newspapers had a good time poking fun at Adolf Hitler’s Nazis.

FORBRA 1S VICTOR INGRAND NATIONAL Egremont and Shaun Goilin Follow as Three Long Shots Carry Off Purse. By the Assoclated Press, AINTREE, England, March 18.—Once again a rank outsider carried off the honors in the Grand National as the 7-year-old Forbra, one of the youngest horses ever entered in the race, de- feated a field of 36 of the best jumpers of two continents in the ninety-third ground. Forbra won only one race this sea- son, previous to his triumph today, and that because of a disqualification. The 7-year-old winner carried the light weight of 147 pounds and was ridden by Jockey John Ramey. Egremont was ;ldgen by E. Paget, a London stock roker. Shaun Goilin Far Back. Through the last half-mile, the race was strictly a duel between Forbra and Egremont, with Shaun Goilin far back out of contention for the winner’s share of the n.wo-flnd purse. Forbra took the jump in front, but Egremont almost him in the run for the judges' stand. The 7- year-old jumper had enough left, how- ever, to beat Egremout by three lengths. Heartbreak Hill was the only horse that figured in the official betting to finish the course. Sea Soldier was beautifully handled by Lex Wilson, Toronto jockey. The American-bred jumper fenced perfectly, keeping about the same position throughout. Fre- quently Wilson avoided collisions with riderless horses by taking his mount wide. K. C. B, which broke his leg at the water jump, was {ufit ahead of Sea Soldier when he fell. With the crowd numbering more than 200,000, the largest in the history of the race, the classic attracted world- wide interest through the gigantic sweepstakes and the international radio hook-ups. Millions of dollars were won through the Irish Hospital, the London Stock Exchange and other sweepstakes, Princes Are Present. ‘The royal family was represented by the Prince of Wales and Prince George, who went down in the paddock before the race to talk to the trainer of Grakle. Grakle, the pre-race favorite until Heartbreak Hill moved up in the of- ficial betting yesterday, got away well, but refused a jump on the first time over the course. Gregalach, the third choice at 13 to 1, managed to keep up with the leaders during the first two miles, but fell soon after he passed the grandstand the first time. Winner in 1929 and runner-up last year, Grega- lach carried the top weight of 175 pounds. R. K.
