A—14 NEW EFFORTSE TOCUTLIUORTAK King in Doubt if Session' Bill Will Include Provision. By the Associated Press. New efforts to lower the taxes én liquor are in store for next session, but the likelihood of their success is| problematical | Chairman King of a Senate Finance | Subcommittee in charge of a bill} tightening up administrative features | of the liquor tax laws said it had been suggested that the Senate add a tax- lowering provision to the measure. “My present view, though,” he said | In an interview, “would be to resist efforts to tack on a tax provision.” King said that while he favored lower levies than the present domesti rate of $1.10 a gallon on distilled | spirits and 85 a barrel on beer, he | thought any changes should be 1m-} Riated by the House. | There, however, a partial poll of| the tax-writing Ways and Means| Committee indicated the sentimept for | ireducing the levies is not sufficiently atrong to assure actioh. Representatives Samuel B. Hill, Democrat of Washington, and Yinson, Democrat of Kentucky, powerful mem- bers of the committee, said they did not think there was sufficient tax-cut- | ting sentiment in the committee to indicate immediate action. “The liquor tax question undoubt- edly is highly disputed on the Senate side,” King acknowledged, “and my opinion is if there is any legislation it should be a reduction.” The problem arose shortly after re- peal. There was considerable discus- sion. particularly in the House, of the need of lowering the levy to bring down prices of bona fide liquor and thus curtail bootlegging, but little was heard the past session. Director Joseph H. Choate of the now disbanded Rederal Alcohol Con- trol Administration fought to have the liquor levies reduced. Secretary Mor- genthau disagreed, insisting more en- forcement was all that was needed to protect the legitimate business. | LEONARD HALL ALUWNI ELECT W. G. FENWICK.

MISSING—ONE PIANO. ISSING—one piano. It is all a mystery the pastor and congregation of the Alexandria Presbyterian Church are trying to solve, without even a clue to the missing instrument. A few days ago several men pulled up in front of the church in a truck and one of them presented the janitor with a note which read: “Please permit bearer to have piano!” ‘The note was signed and the janitor, believing it the signature of one of the church officials, permitted the re- moval of the piano. 7> The pastor on learning of the in- cident made a canvass of the con- gregation. but found that nobody had made such a. reguest.
