DEMOCRATIC " VOTE HEAVY IN WISCONSIN (Continued From Page One) tests. However, conservative G. O. P. forces in Wisconsin apparently were beaten once again by the Progressives under the LaFollettcs. The LaFol lette delegates favor Senator George W. Norrts of Nebraska, for president, while the unpledged conservatives hnvo given "tacit . approval" to the Hoover administration. In municipal and township elec tions in Illinois, Democrats stormed Republican dtrongholds, taking Cicero, Chicago suburb and one-time Capone base, for the first time in 16 years; winning Nashville, downstate, for the first time in a quartor cen tury, and setting a 40-year prece dent in electing a highway official at Joliet. Milwaukee re-elected the Socialist mayor since 1916. Daniel W. Hoan, in a sweep of offices which gave him the greatest triumph of his career. The New York and Wisconsin pri maries sent the Democratic conven tion delegate total to 310, while a Georgia convention today will boost It to 338. There will be 1164 dele gates with 700, or two-thirds needed to nominate. With Wisconsin's 20 and Georgia's 28 assured for Roosevelt, the New York governor by. nightfall will have 140 instructed and pledged delegates for a decided lead over former Sena- i tor James A. Reed, of Missouri, and ! Governor William H. Murray of Okla homa, the only other candidates who I have captured delegates to date. j Reed has 36 from Missouri and Murray 23, including 22 from Okla homa and 1 from North Dakota. Roosevelt Claims Roosevelt's supporters also are claiming Arkansas' 18 and 6 from the Philippines, already named, for a total of 173. With South Dakota's pront i iscd the New Yorker in! 'the May 3 ' primary, this 'brings1 his total to 1,83. I Tammany leaders say New York's 86 district delegates, chosen yester day, and 8 at large to be named at a state convention later this month will not be definitely lined up for any candidate until Just before the national convention, j Yesterday's primaries Increased the Republican delegate total to 242, I with 578, or a majority of the 1154 convention total, required to nom j inate. With New York's 86 district and ' 11 at large delegates. President Hoo ver now has 231, or all but 11 of those selected to date Instructed, pledged or claimed for his renom lnatlon. j Wisconsin's 27 Republican '' dele gates probably will be divided be- I twee n the progressives and conserva tives, although complete returns were lacking early today. ADD TO THKIIt LEAD MILWAUKEE. April 6 OP) LaFoI lctte Progressive Republicans and Roosevdlt Democrats continued to forge ahead as returns came In to- I day from yesterday's election to 1 choose delegates to the national con ventions.

BILLY TOWNSKND BEATEN LOS ANGELES, April 6 W) The veteran Billy Townsend, blond Can adian from Vancouver, was outhit and outboxed for eight rounds to lose a 10-round decision to Joey Goodman of Cleveland, in last night's main event at the Olympic auditor ium.

X-RAY PORTIONS OF .REVENUE BILL ARE OPPOSED (Continued From Page One) 45 per cent estate tax, and the taxes on stock and bond transfers. Assails Certain Levies Several times Mills departed from hie statement and raised his voice to assail particular levies. , "How can the railroads, prostrate on their back," he asked, "get the capital' they must have while these punitive business taxes prevail?" Replying to questions. Mills said the treasury complaints were not directed so much at the high rates but rather at new levies "imposing double taxation on business." Senator Harrison, of Mississippi, ranking Democrat, asked Mills for his specific program. The treasury head said he felt the committee could take the treasury's original recommendations to supple ment revenue lost by elimination of provisions against which he com plained. Harrison proposed Mills submit a new and specific program. . . . "Frankly," replied Mills, "I much prefer the treasury's original pro gram. I think the bill proposed by the ways and means committee was all right but I prefer our first pro gram." Chairman Smoot and Harrison asked Mills to submit in detailed form Just what he would cut out of the bill and substitute. Opposes Retroactive Tax Replying to Senator Connally, (D., Texas) the secretary opposed, any at tempt now to Impose a retroactive increase in the Income tax on last year's income payable this year. "The treasury believes the time is now past for levying a retroactive tax Increase," replied Mills. "The lncomo taxes were paid on March 15. It Is out of the question In our mind. It is Impracticable and you do the taxpayer an injustice. We favored such a move prior to tho first tax payments on March 15." Sales Tux Dlsciuwed The discussion turned to the gen eral sales tax which wns stricken from tho bill by the house. "Let us got It straight," said Sen ator Gore (D., Okla.) "In view of the decisive house vote against the sales tax we aren't going to waste time and try and revive It?" "The treasury," replied Mills firm ly, "will make no recommendation for the manufacturers sales tax now." Harrison argued the Increased In come and inheritance taxes would bring In more than (250,000,000 In 1034 than Is estimated, for 1033. "I don't know how much," said Mills, "but more would be collected In 1934. But bear in mind we con template that. We want to balance the budget In 1033 without meeting the sinking fund requirement. We want a real balanced budget In 1934, meeting the sinking fund obliga tion." Mills declined to express an opin ion on the policy of putting tariff rates in the revenue bill as was done by the house In levying Import duties on coal and oil. Democrats pressed him closely for a committment on these rates, but he flatly declined to go on records , The 'committee then adjourned un til two o'clock when Mills will re sume. President Win Veto Philippine Bill, Is Belief WASHINGTON, Apr. 0 P) A veto apparently waits at tho White House for legislation to grant independence to tho Philippine Islands. By on astonishing margin 306 to 47 the Hare bill under which in dependence would come after eight or ten years, passed tho house Mon day. Later this session, perhaps in a month, this bill or a substitute for it will be taken up In the senate, with fair chances of passage. It may(1thero fore. be up to the president to meet this long-standing issue. The two members of his cabinet most con cerned in the question, are definitely and sharply opposed. Secretary Hurley, following Tues day's cabinet meeting, said the pass age of the bill was ill-advised and did not meet the essential require ments for withdrawal of American sovereignty from th0 islands. Raising the time limit for indepen dence from five years, as originally propi-scd In the house, to eight, the war secretary said does not remove his own fundamental objections to the bill. He his said that much ground work icmalns to be completed, before the Philippines are ready for self gov ernmi nt. Must Answer For Hunting Accident OREGON CITY, Ore., Apr. 6 W) Investigation into a hunting accident In which Arthur J. Lamm was shot to death last September resulted this week In the Indictment of R. H. Campynol, his companion, on a charge of Involuntary manslaughter. The indictment was secret. Campynbl was arrested and released on 91000 bond. The grand Jury is said to have worked on the case for several months. Camnvnol declared he and Lamm wero hunting near Estacada and sep arated. He said he shot at a deer and heard Lamm shout. He ran to the place and found Lamm dead, the heavy bullet having struck him above the heart. Dogfiih U Curie The curse of the rod flslierm;in Is the dogfish. These voracious croa lures will savng!lv attjick a hooked I salmon and literally ent him alive, j and seem to be possessed of Increcl jlhle cunning. Muny a fisherman ! will vouch for It that a dogfish will sever a line with his teeth In or tier to free another caught on the hook. If there nre many dogjlsh, which happens periodically, it makes no difference how many salmon there ore, the fisherman mny as well go back to camp.
