Douglas county, evidently was due to the operation of the car at a high rate of speed. In turning onto a bridge In Oakland the driver apparently lost control of the wheel and the heavy machine plunged over the side of the span and fell into the stream below.

The vales tax as a source of federal reve nue at this time was definitely re jccted today by the senate, but there was further evidence that it was the purpose of republican con? reaelonal leaders to bring- it forth later as a means of raising- funds to finance the proposed "five-way" plan for ad justed compensation for former serv ice men.
