THIRD PARTY TALK TRAILS G. 0. P. WIN Nye Definitely Predicts Tri- angular 1936 Race Aimed at Roosevelt. By the Associated Press. Third party talk has revived follow- ing the New Deal defeat in Rhode Island last week and the questions it raised about future administration policy. Senator Nye, Republican, North Da- kota, brought it into the open yester- day with a flat prediction, “there will be a third party next year.” Some leading Republican regulars, t00. mentioned for presidential nom- ination, indicated in private conver- | sations they had by no means dis-| missed the possibility. They seem- | ingly hoped it would happen, evi- dently on the theory that the Roose- velt ticket would be the sufferer. | Diverse reactions in both major parties to the Rhode Island results| accounted for part of the specula- tion. Where some conservative Dem- ocrats interpreted the overturn of a | House seat as a demand that the ad- ministration shift “Right,” Republic- ans from farm areas showed little | sympathy with colleagues who hailed it as a harbinger of death for the A.| A. A—and its financial heart, the processing taxes. | Result to Be Test Factor. | One thing is certain. The admin-: istration course from now on will be | examined in the light of this New | England election for any approach to | the conservative viewpoint Roosevelt policy has been criticized as shuttling between “Left” and “Rright.” Considering this, and the | attacks on the pending tax bill as| radical, some legislative quarters look for more emphasis on “recovery” than “reform” in months ahead. Neither party is expected to let the Northeast with its great block of electoral votes, go by default 15 months hence. In that connection an exchange in the House last week was potentially significant. Representative Fiesinger, Democrat, of Ohio asked, “When is the budget likely to be balanced?” “I firmly believe,” replied Chairman Buchanan of the Appropriations Com- mittee, “that next Winter and in fu- ture Congresses we can pass through without any additional taxation or without the issuance of additional bonds, or increasing the national debt, except to cover appropriations hereto- fore made.” No Mention of Bonus. | Nothing was said about payment of the bonus, although consideration in January is slated and perdictions of enactment over any veto have been | made. Senator Nye considered the possi- | bility of a rightward swing in his third party interview. Should Mr. | Roosevelt go that way “because of re- cent troubles, reasons of political ex- pediency or otherwise,” he said, “we would be up a tree.” Another independent, Senator Nor- beck, Republican, of South Dakota, | ras warned Republican regulars they | must counsel with ‘“progressives or | other Northwestern States will join the third party movement already controlling Minnesota and Wiscon- &in." Their observations coincided with renewed conjecture over the role of | Ambassador Saito, who is vacationing Jacques Marquette, J. A. Hibbard donned the regalia of a Japanese Mikado to pull C. G.

By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, August 10.—Claude My- rick, who claims to be “the ragtime kid” of Robert W.

His memory is fading, but he still can recall the words of the poem. *“It goes something like this,” he sald at his home today as he drum- med an air, Yukon style, on his piano: ¢ “The ragtime kid was having a drink; there was no one else on the stool'— Pausing, he said: “I first met Robert Service when he was connected with the Bank of British North America up there—a Jolly fine fellow, full of fun. *I remember the girl he based his poem on.

Roberts, who is District _people's counsel, declared there are at least 40,000 in governmental service here who can meet residential period re- quirements. “There is no more reason why a private employer should anticipate un- employment due to seasonal or period- ical phases in an industry than there is for the governmental agencies,” he said.

YORK MEDAL DECLARED ERROR Legion Department Says Connecticut Soldier Earned Award. By the Associated Press. HARTFORD, Conn., August 10.— Determined to obtain for Sergt. Ber- nard J. Early of New Haven the credit received by Sergt. Alvin C. York of Pall Mall, Tenn,, for annihilating & German machine gun battalion, the Connecticut Department of the Ameri- can Legion today adopted a resolu- tion calling on Congress to award the Congressional Medal to the Con- necticut veteran. Early, totally disabled due to Juries, was reported as “too il his home to come here or to com- ment. In Tennessee, Sergt. York, who runs a school in his native hill coun- try, was quoted as saying: “All this is old.” York Declared Only Aide. The resolution set forth that the capture of the Germans in Argonne Forest was effected by the New Haven man, and that he turned the Prus- in- sians over to York, then his corporal, | to take back to the lines. The reso- lution was introduced by New Haven's post. Dr. Frank Mongillo of New Haven. Early’s physician, described the war | extremely | hero as ‘“very modest, cheerful and very reluctant about discussing the war.” Dr. Mongillo said: “Sergt. Early is suffering from a severe wound in his spine, caused by gunshot, and a heart condition. is very nervous.” Early is 42 and the father of four sons. Dr. Mongillo asserted that “it is al known fact among the boys in his outfit that Sergt. Early accomplished the feat for which Sergt. York has| been credited.” York Urged Citation, In 1929 Sergt. Early received a Dis- tinguished Service Cross from the War Department upon recommenda- tion of the Army Decoration Board It was understood at the time that | York appeared before the board and recommended granting Early the award. Sergt. Early was leader of the de- tail from Company G, 328th United States Infantry, which on the morn- ing of October 8, 1918, captured an entire company of Prussian Guards. York is credited with killing at least | 25 Germans and leading back 132 prisoners, including the machine gun | battalion ccmmander and two other commissioned officers. He was de- scribed by Gen. John. J. Pershing as “the greatest civilian soldier of the war.” RECORDS TELL STORY. York Citation Says He Led 18 Men in Taking Battalion, By the Associated Press. War Department records shed some light yesterday on the contention of | the Connecticut American Legion that accomplished | Sergt. Bernard Early the feat for which Sergt. Alvin York has been called the outstanding hero of the World War. The a Distinguished Service Cross to Early said his excellent lead- ership effected a successful surprise attack by 17 men against 200 Ger- mans. It explained Early was wound- ed severely by machine gun fire, but that his “conspicuous gallantry” in- spired the remainder of his command to fight on until all of the enemy were either killed or taken prisoner. York’s citation for the Congression- al Medal of honor said that on the same day and in the same locality, after three other non-commissioned | officers had become casualties, he as- sumed command. With seven men, the citation said, York charged a ma- chine gun nest, taking it and captur- ing 4 officers and 128 men. Department records show that rec- ommendation of the Congressional Medal of Honor for Early was con- sidered when the Military Board was studying his case, but that the other award was deemed sufficient.

(4) As a corollary to the increase on estate taxes, the committee decided to increase gift taxes on donors, bringing them to a point where they will be threetquarters of the estate tax for the comparable bracket. The gift tax on donees, however, went the way of the inheritance tax and was stricken from the bill. As in the case of the inheritance tax, this pro- vision was a specific request of the President. (5) The excess profits tax section is modified from its form in the House bill, but is more drastic than in the present revenue law. The Senate ver- | sion calls for an excess profits tax of 6 per cent on profits between 10 and | 15 per cent of the adjusted declared value. Such profits over 15 per cent will be taxed 12 per cent. The House bill, taxing all profits above 8 per cent, graduated from 5 through 20 | per cent. The present law applies a tax of 5 per cent on profits in excess of 12 per cent. | (6) The Senate bill increases the | present capital stock tax from §1 per $1,000 of declared value to $1.50 per $1,000. i New Valuation Allowed.

Principal sin of omission by the Senate group was their failure to make any provision for intercorporate dividends. This was requested by the President in his message of June 19, but the recommendation was not fol- lowed by either House or Senate up to the present time. Estimates Tentative. Although all estimates of probable revenue from the pending legisiation are tentative, consultant experts of the Senate committee ventured the opinion that added income from the House and Senate bills might compare as follows: Individual Income Tax. (Surtax increases and lowered exemptions.) - $45,000,000 - 220,000,000 Corporation Income Tax, (Graduated rates.) $15,000.000 - -- 15,000,000 Excess Profits Taxes, House .----$80.000.000 Senate --- 78,000,000 (Corporation exemption of gifts to House Senate House Senate | charity cut this item from an original revenue estimate of $100,000,000.) Death Taxes, House (inheritance) $86,000,000 Senate (increased estate). 86,000,000 Gift Taxes, House (on donees) -$24.000.000 Senate (on donors) --- 24,000,000 Capital Stock Tax. --- No increase levied = - $45,000,000 $218,000,000 Increase, From the estimates listed above, it was figured that the House bill would raise about $250,000,000 more revenue than obtainable under the existing law. The Senate total, in contrast, is $468.000.000 on the basis of these ten- tative figures, an increase of some $218.000,000. While the two days of deliberations of the Senate Finance Committee have been behind closed doors, sufficient in- formation has been available to create an interesting picture of the align- ment of forces on the committee. Seemingly, this alignment brought an alliance between Republicans, a con- servative Democratic group and the liberal La Follette, by which the latter succeeded in his wishes to broaden the base of the tax program and the former prevailed in their determina- tion to eliminate the excessive inheri- tance levies. In the minority was the Harrison group of “regular” Demo- crats. Once out of the committee, how- ever, this regularity may be a more effective force in connection with at- tempts to make the legislation still conform to the wishes of the Presi- dent. On one point, at least, Senator Harrison said he would carry the fight to the floor, that being an effort to House __ Senate | restore & system of inheritance taxes to the bill. In case he is successful, the Senator said he would attempt to have the administrative provisions of this section eased from their form in the House bill. “I think the admmistrative provi- sions of the House inheritance section are too stringent,” he said. “They make it too hard upon a person in- heriting property. I would favor giv- ing a longer time to settle an estate, FESS POLITICS VIEW HIT BY M'CULLOCH G. 0. P. Victory in 1936 Held More Probable With Trend “Adverse to Roosevelt.” By the Associated Press.

The session has been called to de- vise a new agreement to replace the Chadbourne plan for limiting exports which expires in the Autumn. as much as 15 years for some of these big ones. And I would not favor im- posing more than 6 per cent total interest on delayed payments. Nei- ther would I favor imposing & lien on the property during settlement.” Sees Change Approved. Regarding the broadening of the bill in the Senate committee, Harrison | said he believed the change will be accepted by the Senate “I would have preferred wrting a bill in strict conformity with the President’s wishes. But the House | deviated greatly, and others felt we | should make changes, so I feel we should submit a bill to bring some real revenue. This measure would be a good revenue producer.” While the committee draftsmen are spending the week end in attempting to frame the revised legislation, Har- rison announced that the committee will meet again tomorrow at 2 p.m. to give it a final review. “We ought to get at t floor by Wednesday at the latest,” the chairman “If necessary, we will have some night sessions next week to speed it up. House Opposition Seen. Even though the Senate should ac- cept the drastically rewritten legisla- tion, however, it is considered unlike!v that the more tax-timid House will be | so willing to go along. In that case the measure probably would undergo further rewriting in one of the eon- ference groups which wield so much final power in shaping legislation. In addition, the attitude of the White House, pretty thoroughly overlooked in the enactment of this legislatioa, might become a more effective influ- ence in this particular picture. Some of the comparatively minor amendments added to the bill during the committee session yesterday fol- low: is bill on the | | | Y Harrison—To repeal the exist- ing penalty tax on liquor sold in dry States, leaving this to the States. Harrison said this was in conformity with the Democratic platform pledge that the Federal Government “shall do nothing in dry States but co-op- erate.” and that collection of a $1,000 tax in dry States was not “keeping faith with that pledge.” To Cut Interest Charges, By McAdoo, Democrat, of Califor- nia—To reduce interest charges from 12 to 6 per cent a year on delinquent internal revenue taxes and customs duties. By Gore, Democrat, of Oklahoma— To exempt from existing taxes gaso- line sold to States, counties and mu- nicipalities, whether for governmental or non-governmental use.
