The two were said to have agreed the insurgent offensive against the capital of the semi-autonomous Basque republic on the northern coast of Spain must be pushed vigorously. Gen.

Informed circles considered it likely Mussolini and Von Blomberg had studied possibie joint military action if further reprisals were occasioned by attacks on German or Italian war- ships in Spanish waters. To prove Italy's ability to back up | with armed might any fateful decision she and her Nazi ally might make, Il Duce displayed his country's military resources for Von Blomberg. The German war minister began his day with a visit to the huge ex- perimental aviation station at Guidona, and from there was taken to the mil~ itary airfield at Furbara. Best informed circles here doubted that direct intervention in Spain, where Germany and Italy recognize Insurgent Generalissimo Francisco Franco as true head of the govern- ment, formed any important part of the conversations Mussolini and his foreign minister, Count Galeazzo Ciano, had with Von Blomberg. Fascist circles generally considered such action had been made unneces- sary by the strong stand taken by the two powers. Authoritative circles appeared anx- ious to minimize the importance of previous declarations that Italian war vessels, despite their withdrawal from | the international control set-up, would | halt Russian vessels carrying muni- tions to Spain. the cash balance because of ‘‘unset- tled conditions” abroad, . __Political circles expressed belief this (See SPAIN, Page A-4.) refiecting upon the integrity and honesty of the National League office and umpires, were discussed | thoroughly. “Mr. Dean made a blanket denial of ever having made any of the state- ments and said he had not at any time made such statements to the press. “He refused, however, to sign a public statement refuting the alleged remarks, or any other statement that he was misquoted. As a result, it is the ruling of the National League office that Player Dean remain under in- | definite suspension.” . Red Cross Aids Flood Victims. ALBUQUERQUE, N.

BACKGROUND— As Federal contribution gradually decreased and expenses of local gov- ernment were pushed up by in- creasing population, District has come face to face with daficit esti- mated at more than $6,000,000 for coming fiscal year Situation brought decision to im= pose new tar schedule, now centers ing around proposal jor income levy. Sales tax previously was sup- ported as principal new tar, but increased real estate levy is now being given consideration. (Pictures on Page B-1.)

But Repre- sentative Dirksen, Republican 1- | linois, champion of the income tax | legisiation, declared “Leave that provision in the bill and let the members fight it out on the floor of the House.’ $2,000,000 Additional. The Commissioners had estimated the income tax would produce about $2,000,000 in additional revenue. The tax on intangibles is estimated to in- | clude $2.200,000 in the coming fiscal year, but with the “teeth” the sub- committee has written into the exist- ing law it is believed the income from this source will jump $1,000,000 to $3.200.000. With a credit allowance for intangible payments on the income | tax, however, the District, it was said, will receive a net gain from the two taxes of not more than $1.000,000. Failure of the subcommittee to com- | plete the tax program caused post- | ponement until Tuesday of a previous- | Iy scheduled meeting of the full Dis- | trict Committee, at which it had plan- ned to pass on the proposed new tax | legislation, The subcommittee met at 9 am., an | hour early than usual, hoping to put the finishing touches on the tax pro- | gram by 12:3, the time set for the | full committee meeting. But at 10:30 | the subcommittee sent word to Chair- man Norton of the full committee it | would be unable to make its report until later in the day. The meeting | was then postponed. The delay in completing the tax | increase program is due to the thor- | oughness with which the subcommit- | tee is going over the details of the income tax plan recommended by the Commissioners. Every sentenice of the | proposed income tax bill is bemg“ studied and analyzed, and its poten- | tial effect discussed. | Indicative of the careful study being made of the income tax plan is the | fact that the subcommittee spent three T (See TAXES, Page A-5) | of Summary of Page.] Page. | Obituary _A-12 Radio _.__._C-10 Short Story_ Society .

The President wr “I have received a communication from the Civil Service Commission which states that, in addition to nu- | merous other bills exempting from the merit system all but minor positions there have been more than 70 bills in- troduced in this session cf Congress which propose complete exemption for all positions affected thereby.

CHURCHTOWN, Pa, June 3— Margaret Gretna Tiffany, 59, lived in a remodeled home with the dead body of her mother, Mrs. Lydia B. Tiffany, 99, in a barricaded upstairs room. Deputy Coroner Charles S. Dutten- hoffer said Mrs. Tiffany had been dead at least three weeks. Constable W. S. Sweigert and Jus- tice of the Peace G. W. Ravert dis- covered the woman's body and six dead pups yesterday. The officers went to the residence, on the out- skirts of this Eastern Lancaster County town, with a court order for & sanity hearing. Ravert said the search of the house was authorized by Mrs. Isabelle Miles Lippincott of Philadelphia, whom he said was a relative. Mrs, Tiffany was seen slive May 17 | 4 by an electric meter examiner. Neigh- bors said they had not seen the elder woman since that time and that the daughter had not left the house for several weeks. Ravert disclosed that Miss Tiffany recently refused to sign for registered mail that contained checks from a Philadelphia bank. He said she ap- | parently had not obtained groceries for many days. Nearly every room was baricaded. Windows were barred. A door to a stairway to the second floor was nailed shut. The dead pups were found in a| barricaded room.
