JEWS T0 CONFER ON REICH CRISIS Delegates of 43 Nations to Attend Zionist Parley in Lucerne. By the Associated Press. LUCERNE, Switzerland, August 20. ~—Delegates from 43 nations will as- semble in the Grand Congress Arts Palace tonight in the nineteenth bi- ennial Zionist Congress, considered by many the most critical yet called. Greater interest is manifested in this congress than ever before, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported. Jews the world over, moved by the plight of the Jewish masses in Germany and in Eastern Europe on the one hand, and inspired by the development of the Jewish upbuilding work in Pales- tine in the past few years on the other, have focused their attention on the proceedings. The congress will be formally opened by Dr. Nahum Sokolow, president of the World Zionist organization. He will speak on the situation in world Jewry and Zionism. James G. Mc- Donald, League refugee commissioner, is also expected to deliver an address tonight. Palestine Council Is Topic. The congress agenda includes a dis- cussion on the proposed legislative council in Palestine. The Jewish agency has constantly voiced its unequivocal opposition to this on the grounds that it would place the fate of the Jewish minority in Palestine forever in the hands of the Arab majority. That would, the agency insists, counteract the terms of the mandate guaranteeing Jewry | the right to establish its national homeland in Palestine. ‘The congress will seek to crystalize Zionist policy on the matter and also adopt a plan of action to combat the proposal. Major problems to be considered include: The widening of Jewish immigra- tion to Palestine, and the fleld of Jewish colonization in the country; To Consider Land “Boom.” The problem of land speculation, | which has created an artificial boom in land values; custody of police. Taxes (Continued From First Pa@_ passed the House. In its place they accepted the Senate schedule of in- creased rates of estate taxes, starting with 2 per cent on net estates up to The development of Palestine’s in- fant industry, which recently has been | challenged by foreign dumping; The settlement of a larger num- ber of refugees from Germany, | And the relations of the Zionist | movement, with the mandatory gov- | ernment. The congress is scheduled to last nine days, but it already appears | that the large number of problems to be considered will demand an ex- tension to two weeks. This congress has the largest dele- gation that has ever attended any previous congress. About 1,300,000 Jews participated in the election of the 2,400 delegates. Murder (Continued From First Page.) was bought Saturday in nearby Vir-| ginia and police believe it was pur- | chased for the purpose of suicide. | The single bullet fired at the girl| lodged above her heart. She died be- | fore a police patrol could get her to | ‘Walter Reed Hospital. Capt. Herbert P. Berwald pronounced her dead on | companies as a means of evading the | arrival. { Reconstructing what occurred, de- | tectives say Hisey told his wife and | Esther Lyttle, 22-year-old sister of | the slain girl, that he was going to give Virgie Lyttle $200 because she | needed that sum to clear up a debt. Because her husband seemed to be | in a highly nervous state, Mrs. Hisey | advised Miss Lyttle against going| into Hisey’s room, but the man forced her to accompany him and then slammed the door. Opens Fire on Policeman. ‘There was sound of loud talking for several minutes and then a pistol shot. Mrs. Hisey immediately tele- | phoned sixth precinct police, and Tal- bert responded in a radio patrol car. As he enterede the house, Hisey opened fire from the top of the stairs. A bullet struck the officer in the fore- arm, but he sprang up the stairs and knocked Hisey down the steps, where he held him until help arrived. Other police arrived at this point and took | Miss Lyttle, Talbert and Hisey to | said the report would not be taken up | the hospital. | Pvt. H A. Checney, first wo arrive | after Talbert, reported he found Hisey | Iying at the foot of the stairs and that | the House conferees, did not say when | he had to hit him again when ne attempted to escape. After treatment Hisey was taken to police headquarters for questioning. Talbert remained in the hospital for a thorough examination to determine if a bone was fractured. Miss Lyttle's body was taken to the District Morgue. Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald said this afternoon an inquest will be held at 11:30 a.m. tomorrow. Worked With Mrs. Hisey. Both of the Lyttle sisters worked in a downtown department store with Mrs. Hisey. They had lived at the Hisey home but a few months. They came to Washington from Hopewell, Va., where a sister, Lucy, still lives. Bhe was notified of the tragedy by Ppolice. The Hiseys had no children and had lived at the Rittenhouse street tesidence for almost 10 years. Alcohol for Auto Fuel. Brazil is aiding the production of alcohol for motor fuel. = Deaths Reported.

The present rates in those brackets were 1 and 60 per cent. respectively. Gift Taxes on Donors. At the same time, it was agreed that the Senate schedule of increased gift taxes on donors should be re- tained instead of the House proposi- tion to levy gift taxes on donees. The accepted schedule would levy a tax equal to three-quarters of the rates in the comparable estate tax bracket. The increased estate and gift taxes are calculated to bring in an extra $102,000,000. The House provisions for inheritance and gift taxes were estimated as worth $110,000.000. The House conferees accepted the | Senate provision for increasing the surtax rates on the net incomes of personal holding companies, this schedule being aimed at applying the | same taxation to such income as is | applied to individual or corporation income.. The schedue ranges from 20 per cent on such net income up to $2,000 to 60 per cent on the income in excess of $1,000,000. No estimate of revenue is given for this provision since its effect is principally to dis- courage existence of such holding regular surtaxes. Insurance Priviso Dropped. ‘The Senate agreed to elimination of two amendments put into the bill during floor consideration of it there; the first being to repeal the tax on importation of whale oils and the second to grant exemption from death taxes to the proceeds of life insurance made out to the estate. This latter provision, Senator Lonergan, Democrat of Con- was believed unnecessary without a schedule of inheritance tax. The conference report contained a recommendation thai such a plan be studied, however. In turn, the House conferees re- ceded to accept two Senate amend- ments relating to imposition of com- pensatory taxes on certain oils and decreasing the tax rate on production and refining of crude petroleum. Following announcement * of the conference agreement by Chairman Harrison of the Senate conferees he in the Senate until disposed of in the House. Representative Doughton, Democrat, of North Carolina, head of he will call the report up in the House, but it is expected to lie over a day at least. In view of the absence of any major departures from the form of the House bill, no extended controversy is expected on the report in that body, but the path may not be so smooth in the Senate. Fight May Bring Delay. In the upper body proponents of the Borah and McCarran amendments both indicated when their proposals were adopted that they were not mak- ing a mere gesture and that their abandonment in conference might mean delay in forcing adoption of the conference report on the floor. Sen- ator Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma also promised to do some talking on the silver amendment in case it dis- appeared in couference. Aside from this probability of delay, however, there is little chance that either or both of these groups could force their proposals back intv the bill. The Borah amendment wds accepted by the narrow margin of 40 to 39 on its original- test and administration Back Home submitted by | Fred Hisey, who shot Miss Virgie Lyttle to death, shown in the 23 POLICEMAN ROBERT TALBERT, Shot in the arm by Hisey. pressure undoubtedly could turn over some of these votes.

Con- gress ought to get away. The people want it to quit. “The laws are not made by Con- gress. “With one hand you send all the power down to the White House to be exercised and by night time they betake themselves to the lobbying headquarters of the very interests we are supposed to be fighting. We've found out how things are done in Washington.” Senator Robinson, majority leader, called the Long contention “absurd” and said the speechmaking was a contributing cause of hoiding Con- gress in session. “The President doesn't direct Mr. Carter, Mr. Robert or Mr. McIntyre with whom they shall go to dinner,” Robinson added.

The congressional delegation, in- cluding Vice President Garner, in going to the Philippine Islands this Fall to attend the inauguration of the new President of the Philippine com- monwealth, will visit Japan on the way over, The Vice President emphasized that the stop in Japan would be unofficial. Although it will be essentially a sight= seeing visit, the befief prevailed here that the Japanese would undoubtedly extend a formal welcome upon the arrival on their shores of a group of high officials of this Government. It was pointed out also that such a visit 3 | would offer an opportunity for an ex- pression by Japan of good will toward the United States and a strengthening of friendly relations. The stop at Japan, however, will be only one incident in the journey to the Philippines, being made by the delegation at the invitation of the Philippine Mission. A visit also will be made to China.
