A—6 = PINK SLIP REPEAL MAY BE DEFEATED Determined Minority Oppo- sition May Prevent Vote in Senate. By the Associated Press. The determined opposition of a minority may prevent repeal of the “pink slip” income tax publisity law, according to the private opinion of Democratic leaders. Friends of the repeal, however, as- | serted publicly they would continue to | push for action. ‘With opponents of the repeal pre- pared to talk indefinitely, one ad- ministration leader said it would be “rather futile to call it up unless we are prepared to give it more time than its importance deserves.” Another high-ranking Senator said the repeal could be passed by two or three to one if it ever reached a test, | but he added significantly never reach a vote.” Both statements apparently repre- sented recognition of the parliamen- tary skill of Senator Norris, Re- publican, of Nebraska and other iriends of income tax publicity, are opposing the repeal resolution al- ready passed by the House. “it may In view or the fight facing them, | Democratic leaders had made no plans for calling the pink slip bill up. Chairman Harrison of the Senate Fi- nance Committee, in charge of the legislation, was indefinite about his program, but said he would not ask to take up the question at any time when it might interfere with vital legislation. Conceding powerful opposition to | the pink-slip repeal, Senator Rob son, Democratic leader, said he had made no arrangement to call it up. Dickens Opera for London.

ST. PAUL, Minn,, March 15—The belief that she had seen the missing Baroness Eloisa de¢ Wagner Wehr- Empress of the Galapagos Is- and that the empress had pointed a gun at former Gov. Giftord Pinchot of Pennsylvania, is expressed in a letter received by a St. Paul friend from Miss Marguerite Davis. Miss Davis, former tennis player of St. Paul, is conducting a groun of prominent personages on & world cruise. The party arrived at the islands in February and landed there. In de-| scribing the trip, Miss Davis sald ln‘ her letter: “We walked on. We saw signs of wild animals, but went on. Mr. Pinchot was leading us quite a way ahead. He rushed on, leaving us behind, for he had found a piece of white silk. | * * * ‘Stoo!" shouted a voice. * * ¢ Then he felt something on his shoul- der. * * * It was a pearl-handled re- volver held by the steady hand of a woman who was dressed very much the same as the women on our cruise boat. | “The woman was the baroness, who gave him a very cold look and said: ‘I don’t like you. Go!'" He went. An- other man with us had quite a con- versation with the baroness.

ROSSINI GETS CHEMISTRY AWARD Hillebrand Honor Goes to Bureau of Standards Scientist. The Hillebrand award of the Wash- ington branch of the American Chem- ical Society was awarded at the so- clety’s annual banquet at the Cosmos Club lzst night to Dr. F. D. Rossini of the Bureau of Standards in recogni- tion of fundamental work on the thermochemistry of hydrocarbons and alcohols. Dr. Rossini has measured, with far greater accuracy than any of his pre- decessors, ihe exact temperature points where such processes as combi- nation and combustion take place in these substances and has suc in correcting errors which have been in standard tables for many years. The combustion of hydrocarbons, members of the Chemical Soclety ex- plained, is one of the cornerstones of industrial development. Gasoline, for example, is an extremely complex combination of hydrocarbons and its combustion point depends essentially on the combustion points of its various constituent elements. ‘The Hillebrand prize is given an- nually in honor of the former chief chemist of the Bureau of Standards to the Washington chemist who is judged to have made the most im- portant fundamental contribution to the science during the year. At the meeting which followed the banquet Dr. Rossini explained the | chemical methods used to obtain thermal data. Other speakers were Dr. L. H. Adams of the Geophysical Laboratory or the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Dr. Oliver R. Wulf of the Fixed Nitrogen Laboratory of the Department of Agriculture and Dr. James F. Doran. —_— Autogiros Will Help. Rubber plantations of Ceylon at- tacked by disease are to be dusted with suxphur dropped from autogiros. THE DERWOOD MILL DERWOOD, MD.
