REGULATION’
AT TAX BILL
Manufacturers Attack
Measure at Hearing
Before Committee
Of Senators
WASHINGTON May 7. (A5)—The
administration tax bill was attacked
by the National Association of Man-
ufacturers Thursday as "a form of
deliberate national economic plan-
ning” and a ‘‘further step towards
government regulation and regimen-
tation of business.”
The association’s view was express-
ed to the senate finance committee
by Noel Sargent its economist and
secretary.
Contending that the proposal for
taxing undistributed corporate prof-
its also would intensify booms and
depressions and promote monopoly
fr argent proposed instead the crea-
tion of a special committee repre-
senting government and industry to
submit recommendations for rev-
enue legislation at the next session
of congress.
The Manufacturers Association
levied its heaviest fire at the tax
bill as the finance committee was
rushing toward the close of hear-
ings. Chairman Harrison (D-Miss)
has set the windup for Friday.
Earlier Thursday spokesmen for
Canadian investors American Tan-
ners. and others had opposed various
provisions in the bill.
Sargent was accompanied before
the committee by James A. Emory
general counsel of the Manufactur-
ers association who said the tax bill
would complicate the tax structure
enhance inequalities and provide an
uncertain source of revenue.

nouncing Thursday that Harry

slight credence in the confession.

appear until May 3 and that the
girl appeared to be about eighteen

DO WOMEN SUFFER
MORE THAN MEN?
Physicians tell us the nervous sys-
tem of woman is more sensitive than
that of man. And her nerves are
more susceptible to the influences
that produce “nerve tension"
(strain) which is only another name
for “pain.”
That is why women especially
benefit from Capudine a pleasant-
tasting quick-acting liquid com-
pound which relieves high nervous
tension and pain by soothing the
nerves. For nervous headache neu-
ralgic and periodic pains Capudine
Is ideal. If Capudine does not re-
lieve you may be sure there is some
organic condition which should re-
vive the attention of your oculist
ientist or family physician. Get a
jottle today and if you do not pre-
fer it to anything else the manu-
acturers will cheerfully refund the ■
jrice. 60c 30c 10c sizes.—Adv.
