PENROSE TO SEEK AID OF DEMOCRATS ‘Wants Agreement for Final Vote on Tax Revision Bill by Last of Next Week ‘Washington, Oct. 12.—An agree- ment with democratic leaders for a final vote om the tax revision bill the last of next or earlyn_the following is'to be sought by Ciairman Penrose of the senate finance commit- tee. If such wn arrangement can be made Senator Penrose believes the measure can be sent to the president before the end of this month, though this would give less than a week for a ‘conference agreement between the house and senate. The compromise amendments agreed to by republican leaders have met 1nost of the objections to the original bill made by the democrats, but the minority leaders are prepared to make a fight for a graduated in- come tax on corporations and for Teductions in the taxes on individuals having incomes of less than $15,000. ‘There also is a movement on the democratic side for some sort of a substitute for the excess profits tax. Republican leaderg are determined to rapeal this tax and they expect prac- tically a solid majority vote on this proposition as well as on the 15 per cent corporation income tax. Republi- can leaders in the house are inclined to insiet on the house raté of 12 1-2 per cent and this difference would be iought out in conference. STANDARD TO DROP BONUS. .

When it came time for the five crack schooners entered for the ocean race to select a defender for the in- ternational racing vessel trophy to shove off from their docks, the vapors were thisk and there appeared little prospect of racing conditions. The wind was light from the east. Fisherfolk and prospective specta- tors who came here in large numbers found another subject for lively dis- cussion, besides the regrets over the mist embargo. Word filtered through the fog that the schooner Mayflower, originally named as ‘defender, then ruled out, was in the outer harbor. Fresh from the Banks with a catch of fish aboard, it was reported thet she came to race it out with the fisher- men that were scraped and trimmed for the occasion. The committee in charge heard the report and consider- ed whether steps should be taken to stop her. The marine stage was set for a con- test that Gloucester men looked to as likely to develop racing of high de- gree. The Elsie, under command of Captain Marty Welch, who drove the Esperanto in her winning cup inva- sion of Nova Scotia last year; the Ar- thur James, with Captain J. J. Mathe- son, first mate of the Esperanto at that time, skipper; the Elsie G. Sylvia, a knocKabout, with a record for racing brushes on the Banks and the Ralph Brown, manned exclusively by Portuguese were regarded as likely to make it a close match for each other. The fifth member of the racing group, the Phillip P. Manta, under Captain Ben Pine, prepared to go out to make the best of it, the skipper said, considering that she was less than two-thirds the size of several of the others.
