Tax uncertainty, a drop in
production and resignation of the
German cabinet brought a crash of
1 to 5 points on the stock exchange
today.
Early liquidation was heavy. It
let up for a time in the late morn-
ing but was resumed following a
special message by President Hoo-
ver to the senate. Thl* message
called attention to the difficulties
confronting the country and ap-
pealed for agreement on a tax pro-
gram that would balance the bud-
get and stabilize the dollar.
The President said he did not fa-
vor a general sales tax but would
support a general manufacturer*
excise tax If congress passed on*.
The senate promptly voted down *
sale* tax proposal and the market
broke wide open.
Steel common broke below 25 3-4
for the first time in 25 years and
American telephone equaled its re-
cord low made In 1907 at 88. It

low and the industrial a new low

not been proposed by the Treasury,
although at the same time such a
tax was unanimously recommended
by the Way* and Means Commit-
tee of the House, representing both
political parties and their leaders
in the House of Representatives,
the Secretary of the Treasury ac-
cepted it in the hope that imme-
diate passage of the bill would re-
sult.
“In order, however, to solve our
problem and give assurance to the
country and the world that we aro
ready to meet our emergencies at
any sacrifice, I now favor an ex-
tension for a limited period of the
many special excise taxes to a
more general manufacturers' ex-
cise tax and will support the Con-
gress if it should be adopted.
“Whether thl* be the course or
not some future emergency tax
source* should be incorporated in
the pending bill.

believed as they awaited reports
from the pilots.
A sixth, it was learned, was forc-

of its gas gone, on Island in the
Missouri River near Fort Calhoun,
about 15 miles from the starting
point.
Its crew, Thorvald I .arsen ana
his brother, Harold, both ot Detroit,
reached the mainland early today,
after a lonely night on the island
mud, and notified authorities.
A 25-mlle wind swept the field
as the takeoff was made late yes-
terday, yet all but the balloon pil-
oted by the Larsens made clean
starts and sailed rapidly out ot
1 sight into the northwest.
Each crew carried telegrapn
blanks addressed to the United
Press, which they expected to drop
as they paMed over towns on their
course. Officials depended upon
these mesages for much of their
Information.

NEW ORLEANS, May 31 —
(UP)—A young chemical engin-
eer and former football star of
Texas A. & M. wa* held by fed-
eral officers today, charged with
growing Chinese opium poppies on
his father’s farm in a remote sec-
tion of Avoylles Parish, in Central
Louisiana.
He is Claud Fuqua, arrested by
New Orleans investigators, who
claimed It was the first poppy
farm found in the United States.
Joseph R. Stack, Shreveport
federal agent, a member of a raid-
ing party which destroyed the pop-
py farm Monday, said Fuqua gave
the seed to hi* father and a cou-
sin and sever others at Effie, and
asked them to raise poppies from
which he would manufacture a
dye. No charges had been filed
against the actual growers of the
poppies as Stack said they were
apparently innocent of Fuqua’s in-
tention to manufacture opium
gum.

a shortage of revenue between the
amount originally estimated by the
Treasury as necessary and the yield
of the bill aa it now stands ot
$285,000,000. The difference is due
to a reduction by the Congress in
new taxes amounting to $160,000,-
OOO—of which about $100,000,000
was agreed to by the Treasury In
its eagerness for prompt action—
and $125,000,00 is accounted for by
changed conditions.
“In other words, assuming that
the expenditure figures are reduced
below those submitted In the bud-
get message by not lees than $350,-
000,00,0 $285,000,000 of additional
revenue is needed today to balance
the budget. In order to bridge thl*
gap, I unqualifiedly recommena
turning to the manufacturers ex-
cise tax along the lines of Sena-
tor Walsh's pending amendment.
While the treasury department has
hitherto refrained from recom-
mending this tax, I had occasion
to give it close study during its
consideration by the Way* ana
Means Committee and I unhesitat-
ingly endorse it today as the most
effective means of balancing the
budget and giving assurance
yielding the needed revenue.
"I further recommend the adop-
tion of the so-called Connally in-
come tax amendment which means
a return to the 1922 Income tax
rates, which I have hitherto op-
posed, but the necessity of balanc-
ing the budget is so great that ob-
jections which up to the present
time justified opposition to a par-
ticular tax can In this emergency
no longer be considered valid.
“If the Senate is unwilling to
follow what I deem to be the wise
course, I suggest as a posible al-
ternate program: (1) The Connally
amendment, yielding approximately
$70,000,000; (2) a gasoline tax or
one cent, yleldin? approximately
$150,000,000; and (3) restoration ot
the exemption on admissions to 10
cents, which will yield $5,000,000
more than is now provided for, or
total of $275,000,000.”

“The account was a little over
$100,000,” h« admitted.

plied.
