NEW YORK, June 12.—Mayor John
P. O’Brien and those who spoke in
favor of his $30,000,000 vehicle tax
bill were vigorously booed and hissed
today in a stormy session of the
board of estimate.
In the wake of the jeering came
cheers from supporters. The mayor
was calm through it all. He listen-
ed intently to proponents and oppon-
ents and made no comment.
As the crowds packed into the board
of estimate room, reports were cur-
rent that the administration was
».eady to back down on its program
to raise $30,000,000 for welfare re-
lief by taxing automobiles and ve-
hicles and placing toils on the East
and Harlem Rivers bridges.
The mayor, it was said, was closet-
ed shortly before the board of esti-
mate meetings opened with John F.
Curry, Tammany leader, and other
democratic chieftains.
If the tax program is abandoned,
it was said, other means of revenue
must be obtained to hold to the ad-
ministration’s agreement with down-
town bankers last week, who agreed
to make loans to carry the city thru
until December provided new rev-
enues are raised.
This, to some observers, sugg-ested
the possibility the administration may
attempt to increase subway fares or
invoke a general sales tax levy.
Motorists have been advised by
some associations to refuse to pay
the auto tax if levied. The consti-
tutionality of the tax has been sub-
MORE PRIVATE BANKING
FIRMS TO BE PROBED
WASHINGTON, June 11.—With re-
verberations from its investigation-
of J. P. Morgan & Co. still echoing,
the senate banking committee turn-
ed to preparation for inquiries into
other private bankers, including
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and Dillon, Read
and Company.
While congress sped action on leg-
islative reforms growing out of the
inquiry, Senator Neely, democrat,
West Virginia, told the senate that
“36 months of tax dodging” by J. P.
Morgan had “shaken the faith of
millions in the justice of existing
law.”
The West Virginia senator said
the sales of stock to selected Morgan
clients was a “brazen attempt to
bribe on a nationwide scale.”
The investigating committee met
in executive session and decided to
let a subcommittee determine wheth-
or Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and Dillion,
Read & Co. inquiries should be pur-
sued at once or deferred until fall.
The subcommittee, nominally in
charge of the investigation, will con-
fer with Ferndinand Pecora, com-
mittee counsel, and map out its fu-
ture plans Tuesday.
Pecora has informed the commit-
tee he is ready to proceed at once,
and it will be up to the senators to
decide whether they want to stay in
Washington for hearings now or let
them go over until fall.
In any event, Pecora is ready to
keep his staff busy over the summer,

left Seville, Spain, early yesterday,
landed in Camaguey province, in the
central part of Cuba late today.
Since they left Seville in their air-
plane Cuatro Vientos, the Spanish
pair were not sighted until they
reached the island of Cuba, probab-
ly because they chose a route which
is off the usual ship lanes.

The Cuatro Vientos carried nearly
1,500 gallons of gasoline for the long
non-stop journey across the Atlantic,
as well as navigation apparatus and
letters to Havana from the Cuban
consul.
The plane came to earth in Cama-
guey at 3:35 p. m. (EST) having
made the flight from Spain in 39
hours and 50 minutes.
Gasoline was sent to Camaguey
yesterday on the chance that Span-
iards might come down there.
The distance they flew from the
Spanish coast to the Cuban shore
was calculated here to be 4,533 miles,
which was believed to have set a new
record for non-stop flight across
water.

Dangerous Business
Our stomach and digestive system*
are lined with membrane which is
delicate, sensitive and easily injured.
It is dangerous business, then, to use
medicines containing harsh drugs,
salts or minerals, when we are con-
stipated. In addition to the possibility
of injuring the linings of our digestive
system, these medicines g*ive only
temporary relief and may prove habit
forming. To relieve constipation, take
