Mrs. Roosevelt Laughs at
Capt. Gaston’s Charges
Before Bible Class.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt today
laughed aside charges made yesterday
that more alcohol is now being con
sumed by guests at the White House
than for many years past.
Mrs. Roosevelt, speaking at a press
conference, had reference to an ad
dress made yesterday by Capt. Edward
Page Gaston, American founder of the
World Prohibition Federation, before
the Box Bible Class of Emory Metho
dist church.
Rum Reported Received.
Capt. Qaston had said that he un
derstood' that “a consignment of St.
Croix rum has been presented to Presi
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt, Cabinet and
other officials for dispensing to their
visitors, as a gesture to encourage the
use of this potent beverage by the
American people."
Rum consignments may have been
received at the executive mansion,
Mrs. Roosevelt told her press confer
ence, but added that she wasn’t even
sure how rum should be used.
Capt. Gaston concluded from his in
formation that “parents of debutantes
and other young people may now ex
pect their offspring to arrive home
from smart official and other parties
In an additionally befuddled condi
tion.”
Mrs. Roosevelt, however, said she
doubted if anybody would arrive home
from the White House in even a
“slightly befuddled" condition.
Win# Us# Increase Denied.
She also expressed the belief that
ho more wine 4s being served the
Executive Mansion than at any tlm
aine the repeal of prohibition.
The President's wife faces a busy
day tomorrow, with a small luncheon
at the White House to be followed
by an inspection of the Goodwill In
dustries at 2:30 p.m.; a reception for
the Children of the American Revo-,
lution at the White House at 3:30 p.m.,
a brief address at the fiftieth anniver
sary celebration of the Young Women's
Christian Home at 4:30 p.m., and at
tendance at opening exercises at the
Police Boys Club for colored youths,
1200 U street, at 5:30 p.m.
She will begin a series of radio
l«padcasts at 7:15 p.m. Wednesday,
and next week will fill lecture engage
ments at Hartford and Scranton.

YOUR TAXES
What You Would Pay and How Under
the Bills Proposed in the House.
j Article No. 7—Local Income Tax (Continued). !
ESTIMATED YIELD—$6,000,000.
PURPOSE—To substitute for present tax on Intangible property.
AFFECTS—All locally derived corporation income and personal
incomes of $1,000 or over for single persons; of $2,500 or over for
married persons. Would exempt Congressmen and other Federal
officials elected or appointed for stated terms who are not residents
within definition of act.
This is the fourth and final ar
ticle of a series of four on the local
income tax. Yesterday’s article
discussed some of the complica
tions in collecting of the local in
come tax resulting from conditions
peculiar to the District of Colum
bia. Today’s article discusses pro
posed District of Columbia rates.
HE pending District of Columbia
income tax bill is designed as a
substitute for the intangible tax
law now in effect and is based
on a rate structure taxing both indi
viduals and corporations.
These rates run from 1 to 5 per cent
for individuals on a graduated scale.
Corporations are taxed 5 per cent.
Generally the bill would levy a
heavier burden on both individuals
and corporations than most of the
State imcome taxes.
Estimates are that it would produce
a revenue of about $6,000,000. sub
stantially higher than the intangible
tax. which has been producing more
t*an $1,000,000 annually since 1922.
Last year this tax produced $2,147,000.
Proponents of the income tax claim
that, despite the fact it is a perfect
example of double taxation, it is a
fair twc. similar to that now levied by
34 States of the Union, and would be
very productive. By taking a tax
from incomes which already are taxed
by the Federal Government it is really
double taxation of the most direct sort.
No credit is allowed locally for Fed
eral income tax payments.
Higher Than Virginia Law.
The rate structure in the new Dis
trict income tax law is higher than
that of nearby Virginia and is higher
than most of the States, but of course
is lower than that of the Federal Gov
ernment.
Exemptions include $1,000 for a
single person, which is the same as
that in the Federal and Virginia State
income taxes; $2,500 for a married
person living with husband or wife, or
a single person who is the head of a
family, which is the same as the Fed
eral law but higher than the $2,000
exemption in Virginia. The exemption
for dependents under 18 years of age
is $300 each, a figure which falls half
way between the $400 in the Federal
and $200 in the Virginia laws. If a
husband and wife make separate re
turns, or have separate incomes, the
exemption for each in the District
would be $1,000, a total of only $2,000,
as contrasted with $2,500 allowed by
Federal exemption for such a case.
The Collins bill is the latest of sev
eral District of Columbia income tax
measures which have been introduced
in Congress over a period of several
years. The new bill is more like the
recent Mapes bill but varies in some
particulars from that measure.
Who Files Returns.
Returns must be filed by individuals
having a net income for the "taxable
year” of $1,000 or over if single, or if
married and not living with husband
or wife, and by every individual hav
ing a net income of $2,500 or over if
married and living with husband or
wife, and by every individual having
a gross income for the taxable year of
$5,000 or over, regardless of the
amount of his net income.
The tax structure provides as fol
lows :
On net income not over $2,000, a
tax of 1 per cent.
On net income between $2,000 and
$5,000, a tax of 1’4 per cent.
On net income between $5,000 and
$10,000, a tax of 2 per cent.
On net income between $10,000 and
$15,000, a tax of 214 per cent.
Between $15,000 and $20,000, a tax
of 3 per cent.
Between $20,000 and $30,000, tax of
3t, per cent.
Between $30,000 and $50,000, tax of
4 per cent.
And over $50,000, tax of 5 pef cent.
This compares to the following in
dividual income tax by the State of
Virginia:
On net income not over $3,000, tax
of 114 per cent.
Between $3,000 and $5,000, 214 per
cent.
» All over $5,000, 3 per cent.
Rates—Federal and Local.
The Federal individual Income tax
starts at 4 per cent for the normal
tax on all over $1,000 net for single
persons and $2,500 for married, and
then jumps to a “surtax” on all net
income over $4,000. This surtax is
on a graduated scale, on top of the 4
per cent, which is figured first on the
total income. The surtax runs from
4 per cent up to 75 per cent on all net
income over $5,000,000 a year. This
makes the total top rate of both nor
mal and surtax 79 per cent.
A member of Congress living In
Virginia would file his income tax in
March for the Federal Government
and escape both the District of Co
lumbia or Virginia tax.
A Federal employe not exempt or
an employe of private business living
in the District of Columbia having a
net income of $5,000 before personal
exemption would first file his Federal
income tax return in March, taking
a personal exemption of $2,500 for
being married and $400 for a child.
He would thus pay a tax at 4 per cent
on $2,100 of $84.
This same employe 'in April then
would file his return with the District
of Columbia, taking off $2,500 for be
ing married and only $300 for his one
child. Under the graduated District
tax rate he would pay on the remain
ing $2,200 a tax of $30.
D. C. Credit on Va. Tax.
If this same $5,000 employe worked
here and lived in Virginia, he would
haw gone through the same procedure
as above but would then be faced with
filing a return also in Virginia in
June. There he would take off $2,000
for being married, $200 for one r>uiH
and then find that hfe owed the State
of Virginia on $2,800 a tax at 1H per
cent, of $42. Under the reciprocal
provisions between Virginia and the
District he would take a credit of the
$33 he had previously paid the Dis
trict and pay Virginia the difference,
or $9.
If, however, this same man had
earned part of his salary in the Dis
trict and had an income also in Vir
ginia, the amount of tax he would
pay to each would have to be propor
tioned by the two, according to their
rules of “proportionate” credit and
taxation, based on the amount earned
in each place.
The District individual income tax
rates run higher, however, in the
upper brackets than Virginia, the
6
District bill running to S per cent and
Virginia to only 3.
The District of Columbia corporation
tax rate of 5 per cent is 3 per cent
higher than the Virginia rate of 1
per cent on the "entire net income of
the corporation or portion thereof al
locable to Virginia.”
All corporations here in the District,
such as banks, utilities, insurance
companies and others, which pay a
tax on their gross earnings, gross re
ceipts or premium receipts would be
exempt from the new income tax.
The local Income tax returns must
be filed by both individuals and cor
porations in April of each year. One
half of the tax is due at the time the
return is filed and the second half is
due in October. Penalties are pro
vided for failure to file and to pay.
Net income is to be computed on the
basis of the taxpayer’s annual ac
counting period, fiscal or calendar
year, but if the taxpayer has no fixed
fiscal year the computation 1s to be
made in a manner fixed by the assessor
of the District of Columbia, so as
clearly to reflect income.
To determine the net income the
bill allows several deductions, such as
all interest paid on indebtedness;
debts ascertained to be worthless,
taxes paid, ordinary and necessary
expenses paid during the year in car
rying on business or a profession or
occupation, including a reasonable al
lowance for salaries or personal serv
ice actually rendered.
Other deductions include certain
losses not compensated for by in
surance, a "reasonable allowance for
the exhaustion, wear and tear and
obsolescence of property used in busi
ness; contributions or gifts of certain
kinds, such as religious and charita
ble; dividends or incomes from stocks
or interest in any corporation Joint
stock oompany or association, the in
come of which is assessed elsewhere
in the act, and dividends received on
shares of corporations doing business
here, which are required to pay a tax
on gross earnings or gross receipts.
Procedure is outlined for ascertain
ment of capital gain or loss for the
purpose of reporting in the return.
A sharp check on salaries and wages
actually paid in the District is pro
vided by a system of gaining "informa
tion at the source” from employers,
who are required to report to the as
sessor salaries, wages and other com
pensation paid to any person in excess
of $1,000 a year.

NEW THREATS SENT
MATTSON FAMILY
Brother and Sister of Slain
Boy Targets of Letter
Writers.
BACKGROUND—
Charles Mattson, 10-year-old son
of a prominent Tacoma, Wash.,
doctor, teas kidnaped as he played
with his brothers and sisters in hit
home last December 27. One of the
most intensive searches in West
Coast history followed. Ransom
note demanded payment of large
sum of money. Body of child was
found in thicket near Everett, j
Wash., January 11. Search for
kidnap-slayer has continued, but
crime is still unsolved.
By the Associated Press.
TACOMA, Wash., April 19.—Dr. W.
W. Mattson, father of slain Charles
Mattson, 10, revealed today new
threats have been made against mem
bers of his family, but he expressed
confidence his son's kidnap-slayer
soon would be captured.
The father said lives of Muriel, his
15-year-old daughter, and William,
16, his remaining son, have both been
threatened. He expressed belief the
threats were from "cranks.”
In the first interview granted since
Charles’ body was found Dr. Mattson
disclosed the threats came in the flood
of letters delivered at his home every
day since the kidnaping. The last, it
was learned, was made less than two
weeks ago.
“They worry Mrs. Mattson,” the
•physician said, "but I am confident
they are simply the work of cranks.
Undoubtedly, they rem-esent the crim
inal element which walks our streets
every day as a potential menace to
every family.”
40 G-Men on Scene.
He admitted each threatening letter
is carefully scrutinized by Federal
Bureau of Investigation agents, some
40 of whom are still stationed in Ta
coma. Refusing to discuss actual
progress of the hunt for Charles’
killer, he said;
"I have great hope we will get a
‘break’ in the search soon and be able
to put these murderers out of circula
tion.”
Apparently certain more than «e
person participated in the crime, Dr.
Mattson blamed easy parole systems
for the kidnaping, and asserted Ta
coma's lack of police protection was
responsible for the selection of his son
as a victim.
“Criminals should be treated as we
do medical cases,” he said; “lepers are
isolated permanently in leper colonies.
But even a leper is not as dangerous
to society as this (kidnaping) type of
criminal. You can recognize a leper;
but the man who walks unnoticed be
side you in the street may be a
criminal.
“I believe the men who kidnaped
my son watched the house for nearly
a week before the crime. It is shame
ful that Tacoma is not well enough
policed to prevent such a crime or to
allow capture of the criminals. If
officers had been able to isolate the
peninsula on which my home is situ
ated within a few minutes after the
kidnaping, they might have saved
Charley—but what can you do with
only four prowl cars?
Police Force Held Too Small.
“Criminals know Tacoma’s police
force is the most undermanned on the
coast. That’s why this town has been
the site of two major kidnapings.”
Dr. Mattson said he believed the
actual kidnaper escaped from the
Mattson home down the bluff toward

Puget Sound. An examination of the
paths through his five-acre gardens,
he said, indicated the man had
prowled them thoroughly in preparing
for his getaway. The doctor said he
believed an automobile waited on the
shore-line street below the home to
pick up abductor and victim.
Dr. Mattson said his wife is now
recovering satisfactorily from the
shock of Charles’ slaying, although she
has been acutely nervous and prone
to "see kidnapers everywhere.”

NEW G. M. STRIKE
IN U. S. EXPECTED
Hepburn Plans More Dras
tic Steps to Halt C. 1.0.
Invasion.
BACKGROUND—
John L. Lewis' Committee for
Industrial Organization, campaign
ing to organize workers, conducted
strikes against General Motors
and Chrysler corporations. Activi
ties carried into Canada with call
ing last week of strike against
General Motors in Oshawa plant.
Plans are advancing among
chieftains for drive to organize
Ford Motor Co. workers, in spite
of Ford refusal to bargain collec
tively. Ford recently announced
great hour and wage concessions to
workers.
By the Associated Press.
OSHAWA, Ontario, April 19.—Spread
of the General Motors strike to the
United States within a few days was
expected by United Automobile Work
ers Union leaders today as Ihemier
Mitchell Hepburn warned of “more
drastic action" to halt "invasion” of
Ontario by the Committee for Indus
trial Organization.
It was learned from the union high
command that officials expected to
order a walkout from General Motors
plants in the United States unless the
Oshawa strike, which has made 3,700
workers idle, is settled.
Leaders of the Automobile Workers
Union, an affiliate of the John L.
Lewis Committee for Industiial Or
ganization, were known to have dis
cussed spreading the strike below the
border yesterday after the collapse of
Hepburn's second major effort to set
tle the walkout with C. I. O. organizers
barred from the negotiations.
Say 2 Agreements Are Broken.
Union officials said they felt Gen
eral Motors had broken two agree
ments with them in not settling the
Oshawa strike, which entered its
twelfth day today. The first was the
February agreement in Detroit that
settled the prolonged Michigan sit
down.
The second, union leaders said, was
reached last Thursday in Detroit to
cover the Canadian situation. It
was this understanding that formed
the basis of the abortive Saturday
conference called by Premier Hep
bum and which he charged failed
when C. H. Millard, loeal union head,
"double crossed" him.
Homer Martin, president of the
International Union, United Automo
bile Workers of America, declared last
night no strike would be called in
the United States “tomorrow” after
flying to Flint, Mich., from Oshawa.
"There will be no strike,” he said,
hesitated and added: "At least not
tomorrow.”
Hepburn declared he had received
"definite knowledge” from police that
C. I. O. organizers were trying to
bring on strikes at the International
Nickel mine near Sudbury and in the
Kirkland Lake and Porcupine mining
areas in Northern Ontario.
The government, he said, was keep
ing a close check on George Anderson,
C. I. O. organizer for the mine, mill
and smelter workers, and other or
ganizers and proposed to deal prompt
ly with any difficulties that might de
velop.
Any further "invasion” of Ontario
by the I*wis organization, Hepburn
warned, would bring "more drastic
combative action than has been In
stituted to date.”
"Let me tell Lewis and his gang
here and now that they’ll never get
their greedy paws on the mines of
Northern Ontario as long as I am
prime minister.”
Col. F. Fraser Hunter, in command
of the 500 special police recruited by
the premier in the last week, said his
troops were not intended primarily
for use at Oshawa but "for trouble we
