FA—4 = i CONGRESS BLAMED FOR BUSINESS ILLS Fear and Demoralization Are| Found by Writer as Effect of Legislation. Yas come to export capital and put it in some other foreign currency that will be more stable. This attitude on the part of foreign interests is wholly divorced from the speculator group which merely gambles in exchange and is a reflection of what responsible financial institutions abroad think of the way the American Congress is tem- porizing with the situation. Fourth, a belief that refusal to make necessary economies is largely political and that Congress will never dare to cut such large items as veterans' ex- penditures until the country has spoken its mind in the next national election. Conservative Majority Predicted. Fifth, a decided feeling that condi- tions cannot get better until there is a | complete upheaval in Congress, and it is surprising the number of predictions heard that the next election will bring to Congress the biggest conservative majority since the war. This is based on the theory that Great Britain swept the Labor government out of power and gave the Natlonalists complete powers in a similar emergency. The people conservative Democrats and e Republicans will be clected ext time in overwhelming numbers. Perhaps the biggest single cause of the drooping spirits is the knowledge that income is to be confiscated on a scale unparalleled except n wartime, | and that today the country’s businesses and corporations cannot stand the strain of increased taxation as they did a decade ago. On every side is heard the statement that if the new rates go through, capital will be hoarded and kept from investment channels, espe- clally in business enterprises which are in such dire need of new capital to carry on and engage more labor. It is pointed out that the Nation e out of its 1921 depression by a dually diminishing tax rate instead of a greater burden, and and it is as- serted that unless Congress finds some other form of taxation besides the sur- tax, there will be a big surprise when the revenues are collected. Further Anxiety Felt. ‘Talk of more tariffs, dismay over the pension bills being passed in the face of the discussion over payment of soldier bonus certificates and lack of co-operating leadership on the econ- omies needed to balance the budget have produced such a profound im- pression on the investor institutions that they are becoming resigned to a Summer of even greater anxiety unless Congress in the next 30 days clears its. decks and holsters the whole credit structure with acts that produce pub- lic_confidence. Relief funds in many cities are near exhaustion, the unemployed are rest- less and business upon which there is ordinarily a reliance for moves that mean re-employment is bewildered and discouraged. New York has been criticized as un- duly pessimistic and as selfish in its desires, but the situation today trans- cends such characterizations. It means that the financial and business leader- ship of the Nation is scared and fright- ened and that this can be changed only by action of Congress. (Copyright, 1932.)

ALLEGED BANDITS TAKEN IN CHASE Baltimore Men Are Identified as Group Which Terrorized St. Marys Residents. Special Dispateh to The Btar. LEONARDTOWN, Md., May 6.—A 20- mile chase by State police yesterday resulted in the capture of four men subsequently identified as the alleged slot-machine bandits, who have been terrorizing residents of St. Mary’s County since Wednesday. ‘The men, captured near Great Mills, gave their names as John Dollard, Her- man Smith, Leonard Rapp and Ralph Harris, all of Baltimore. ‘The chase was begun following an at- tempt to hold up former Sheriff J. Ber- nard Love in his store at Loveville. | Love, who had been warned he might be the bandits’ next victim, opened fire when he realized a hold-up was in Pprogress. Love Spreads Alarm. Running from the store, the bandits leaped into their automobile and head- ed toward Leonardtown. Love imme- diately spread the alarm, and virtually every male resident of the town armed himself to await their coming. Kennedy Abell, assistant cashier of the Pirst National Bank here, fearing an attempt to hold up the institution, | summoned State Policemen J. R. Miller and C. C. Serman of the Waldorf sub- station. The officers picked up the bandits’ trail near Loveville. The quartet headed toward the south- ern portion of the county with the policemen close behind. Cornered near Great Mills, they are said to have thrown their guns into the woods. Thelr car, according to the officers, was hired in Baltimore First Hold-up Wednesday. | The first hold-up was staged about 9 o'clock Wednesday ht, when they are alleged to have taken a slot machine from & store operated by T. G. Stone, | Buds Creek. The men were reported have attempted to steal Stones cash | register, but the storekeeper drew an empty revolver and frightened them away. ‘The next victim was J. H. Higgs, New Market, from whose store they are alleged to have taken a slot ma- chine. The men are said to have robbed J. O. Hancock, proprietor of a store at Helen, of a_slot machine. The attempt to hold up Love was made shortly after they are alleged to have robbed a filling station at Mechanics- ville, conducted by Deputy Sherift | Paul Colona, from whom they also took a slot machine. Following their capture the men were identified by all the hold-up vic- tims. ‘They were locked up in t county jail here and State's Attorney | John Briscoe immediately began an | investigation.
