An emphatic denial of reports that new attempts might be made to delay the President’s wealth distribution taxes until next session because of revolt threats was given today by Speaker Byrns. There had been rumors that after some weeks of study the House Ways and Means Committee might renew its original suggestion that Congress go ahead and adjourn now and the committee start hearings in November, drafting a new bill for the next Con= gress, convening January 3, 1936. Asked about those reports, Byrns replied: “There was a positive, emphatic | agreement by Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee that | they would bring out a tax bill this session, and that it would be sent over to the Senate.

LANCASTER, Pa, June 28 (P)— Marshall College today at a special meeting of the Board of {u £ Americans Still Frozen Out. The Englishman's victory gives Great Britain a fresh and firm grip ‘on the championship which before last year had been dominated for a | decade of years by invading Amer- | icans. It was the first time in 14 years Britons have won it two years in a row. The veteran Whitcombe, a member of the last four British Ryder Cup teams, made a grand bid with open- ing rounds of 71 and 68, giving him the lead at the halfway mark. He maintained the pace with a 73 this morning and then slipped to a final 76 for a total of 288, which put him in third place. Perry, who a few years ago was assistant to Jim Briad, a former champion at Walton Heath, virtually had a blank record before his triumph | them for other securities which do not | today, much hke Sam Parks, jr. of Pittsburgh, who came from total obscurity to win the American open title earlier this month. His only previous claim to fame was a triple triumph in the Surrey open champion- ship. Crowd of 15,000 Cheers. A crowd estimated at 15,000 swarmed around the club house grounds, cheering itself frog-throated and making it difficult for Perry to reach the dressing room. After watching the burly Perry sink his final putt, Cotton was one of the first to rush across the green and shake his hand. Perry was in the thick of the con- tention from the very start. He opened with a par-busting 69 and then followed it up with a 75 yester- day, enabling him to tie with two others for fourth place. Clipping three strokes off par and finishing with a brilliant 69 for a new amateur record for the course, Little completed the strenuous test with a 72-hole aggregate of 289. The world amateur champion had previous rounds of 75, 71 and 74. Henry Picard of Hershey, Pa., the sensation of the last American mid- Winter season, shot a last-round 75 for a total of 292.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va., June 28.—Game Warden Harry John- son has a most difficult job to per- form; a job in fact, which will be a mandate from the Arlington County Circuit Court when, as and if Judge Walter T. McCarthy gets around to carrying out a jury’s verdict which ‘was returned yesterday. The jury ordered two chicken- killing dogs killed. The court cannot commute the sentence, in Judge Mc- Carthy’s opinion. Therefore the duty shall fall upon Game Warden John- son to execute the death sentence. And therein les the difficulty. One of the condemned animals, & fine police dog owned by Maj. Wil- liam Covington of East Falls Church, has already departed for his happy hunting ground, where young friers are plentiful and man does not sit in judgment. Buster was killed by an automobile two months ago. In the case of the other dog, Kip, said to have been owned by S. P. Grubb, also of East Falls Church, Game Warden Johnson will find it almost as difficulf. Kipp is in New York State with owner, the The bill declares that “no holder of | special mesage sent to Congress yes- | ‘mnnent insurancz plan from going into effect next Monday This would ave provided for full insurance up to | $10,000 and partal insurance cn de- posits above ihat amount.

Hill, Kansas City, were all square at the end of the first nine holes of their semi-final match of the women's Western open golf championship today. Jury’s Death Verdict for Dogs Puts Difficult Task on Warden having only kept him while his master was away. The court willing—providing him with traveling expenses—Game War- den Johnson may not object to hunt- ing Kipp down in the Empire State, but if he finds the condemned dog will the majesty of the law of New York have anything to say about the execution? Some lawyers think it will. Buster and Kipp were first con- victed last December in an ‘“open” county court, sitting under the trees of East Falls Church. The com- plainant, Herbert Payne of Falls Church, identified the dogs in a line- up of neighborhood canines and Judge B. M. Hedrick ordered them killed. Maj. Covington and Grubb appealed to the Circuit Court and there the case rested until yesterday. It was on the docket and Commonwealth’s Attorney Lawrence W. Douglas moved to try it. A jury was selected and the evidence presented. ‘The court looked around for the de- fense attorneys. There was none.

They spoke of such drastic action to block moves to write in what some Republicans called “budget-balanc- ing” taxes and to repeal many exist- | ing levies.

Although the administration’s proe posed bill was still in nebulous form House leaders were determined to try and limit it only to taxes on inheritances, gifts, corporate incomes | and individual incomes over 1,000,000 They will seek an agreement to this end among Democrats on the House | Ways and Means Committee. Later the “gag” rule may be proposed if they believe it necessary to prevent | changes on the House floor. | - Chairman Doughton, Democrat, of | North Carolina, and Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee conferred for three hours yesterday with Secretary Morgenthau {and other Treasury officials, but no conclusions were reached on the new tax rates. ‘The only definite decision made, Doughton said, was that the Presi- | dent's tax suggestion “require most careful and orderly procedure” in drafting a bill. Also because of the | preliminary work necessary, it was agreed that public hearings on the measure could not begin before July 8. Snell Demands “Real Tax.” Representative Snell of New York, the Republican leader, was one of those who yesterday demanded a “real tax bill"—one “that will balance the budget.” Another was Represen= tative Reed, Republican, of New York, who said the tax program as outlined by Chairman Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi, of the Senate Finance Committee, would nct raise enough revenue “to make a drop in the bucket.” | The levies as proposed by Harrison | would place a tax of 60 to 80 per cent on incomes over $1,000,000; 4 to 75 per cent on inheritances over $300,« 000, and 10 to 17)2 per cent on core poration incomes. He estimated that these, plus gift taxes at undisclosed rates, would yield about $340,000,000 annually. Some House liberals, including Rep- resentative Rankin, Democrat, of Mississippi, said these proposed rates were not “stiff enough” to bring a “wider distribution of wealth” as out lined by Mr. Roosevelt. Other members served notice they would seek repeal of the Federal gasoline tax and also existing levies on furs, toilet articles, electricity and the like. It is to head off these moves that the Democrats on the Ways and Means Commitiee want an agree- ment to limit the bill to the four taxes recommended by the President. Doughton said he did not know whether this could be done, “but we can’t,” he said, “write a new tax law. We haven’t the time.” Indications now are that the House will not act finally on the legislation possibly until late in August, .:
