but his secretary. Stephen Early, had advised him that eggs had been thrown at the Republican nominee and that a woman employe of the RFC had hurled articles from a building in Detroit about the time Willkie passed. Mr. Roosevelt said he imagined that under the laws of almost every state such action constituted a crime and assault. The RFC worker should forfeit her employment for doing what she had, he declared.

MANCHESTER, England, October 2 CAF The Manchester Guardian said today British "watchfulness must now extend more and more to the Mediterranean, for on events there the Empire's future may depend. This view is shared in London by many authoritative British and neutral circles where, however, 'the possibility is not ruled out that Adolf Hitler may make an attempt to invade this island yet this year, perhaps during the Indian summer channel calm. The Guaradian commented that an invasion attempt but that he ha eriaI superiority mnrp imnm.

Remarking that Germany "is pressing Spain hard about Gibral tar." the newspaper warned: "It is the triangle of Mediterranean doorways that the axis is after and diplomatic preparations seem about to end. We must look for a sudden enlargement of the struggle in this field which may leave the present Italian offensive looking like one of its smallest parts." Low Finances "Save" Spain. MADRID. October 2 CAP) Spain's economic situation, so stringent that a military venture might have been disastrous, probably was the reason the Rome-Berlin axis has excused her from immediate active participation in the European war, informed sources said today.

They asserted a careful study was made of the possibilities of Spain's supplying her vital necessities during the winter and the conclusion was that she is so short of food and fuel and certain other raw materials that she couldn't have fought successfully if she had wanted to. Against Spain's strategic importance in Mediterranean warfare was the disadvantage of lengthening a coastline already very long for axis defense. The economic factors apparently sealed the decision.

Meanwhile possibility that Indiana men may not be drafted in the nation fighting forces this year was considered by state selective officials.

Authorities expect enough men to volunteer for one year of military training between registration day, October IS, and January 1 in the state, to complete Indiana's quota in the first conscription contingent, at least until after the first of the year. On registration day, registrants will be given an opportunity to indicate if they desire to volunteer for, one year training. If they meet requirements, they will be called to duty before any men are conscripted. More than 200 overnight telegrams arrived at the Governor's of fice today from local selective service board nominees throughout the state. More than 100 came Tuesday alone, and more were arriving hourly today.

The percentage of refusals to serve is small. As soon as they arrived, new names were listed, for the vacancies and requests to serve were telegraphed to the second choices. When all acceptances are in, the whole list will be sent to Washington, probably by the end of the week, for White House appointment. They will be sent as Governor Townsend's nominations The state selective service staff has adopted the slogan: "100 per cent, registration by noon of regis- traUon day. Civic organizations throughout the state have been appealed to to adopt the slogan and spread word of the need for complete and early registration.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Colonel Robinson Hitchcock, state executive for selective service, announced an inspection division will be established. It will check functions of all local boards, as well as th whole program in the state, to insure that functions are minute'y uniform with federal regulations The name of a chief for the division, a civilian, has been certified to Washington The identity will be revealed following approval. In a letter to Governor Townsend, the Indiana Association of Optometrists offered to help in any program to improve fitness of registrants and draftees. In the letter Dr. B.

H. Kaplan, Michigan City, association president, said its members prepared to aid, having long studied means of improving vfsual efficiency in such an emergency program. Three civil service appointments to the headquarters staff of selec- tive service were announced. They art Miss Rosemary Lewis, 3545 Winthrop avenue, stenographer, and John Kinnaman, 241S Broadway, and Roger L. Russell.

Bloomington, clerks. Thanks Clerks. Governor Townsend thanked Indiana county clerks for their cooperation in the organization of the state's selective service system. At the request of Governor Townsend county clerks had submitted lists of names from which local selective service boards were later selected by the Govrnor's personnel selection committee. Clerks are now at work setting up registration points for each precinct of the state where men will register.

Governor Townsend also called on local citizens to co-operate with clerks in any service which may be asked of them, particularly in serving as registrars. He also made known offers of assistance from Thurman A. Gott-schalk, administrator of the state department of public welfare, and Wilfred Jessup, director of the unemployment compensation division. There is a county welfare department in each county. The unemployment compensation division also has twenty-five district offices throughout the state.

Farnsworth, Salt Lake attorney, to contest with Congressman Abe Murdock for the senate seat from which Murdock ousted William H. King in the primary election a month ago.

Farnsworth, with 568 of the state's 832 districts reported from yesterday's runoff primary, was credited with 16,277 votes against 9,992 for Oscar W. Carlson, also a Salt Lake attorney. The nominee aided in preparing the party's national platform as a member of the group headed by the late Glenn Frank. Herbert B. Maw, who fathered the primary law after he was defeated in convention four years ago by Governor Henry H.

Blood, found the election plan more to his favor. In the same 568 precincts he attained an almost two-to-one majority over the administration-favored Henry D. Moyle, for the Democratic governorship nomination. Veteran observers freely expressed the view that Dr. Maw was aided by Republican votes.

In the 568 districts he tallied 33,421 to 18,121 for Moyle. In thlir own primary, Republicans gave Don B. Colton, for twelve years a congressman from this a small but persistent lead over: Reed Stevens, Salt Lake City business man. Pupils Linked in Egg Episode PONTIAC, Mich, "October 2 (AP) Police took five Pontiac High School pupils from their classrooms today for questioning concerning the egg-throwing episode which marred the campaign visit yesterday of Wendell L. Willkie, Republican presidential candidate.

Frank Nelson, chief of detectives, said one boy admitted throwing an egg at the special train as the candidate and his entourage departed. Two other boys said they had eggs but "got cold feet" and did not throw them, police reported. Officers said the boy's characterized their actions as "just a prank." The student council adopted a resolution of regret over the inci dent at a special assembly today, and voted that a copy be forwarded to Mr. and Mrs. Willkie.

The city council last night passed a resolution apologizing to Mr. and Mrs. Willkie for the incident. -WASHINGTON, October 2 (AP) The complex excess profits tax bill, voted after weeks of contention, reached President Roosevelt's desk today, but already congressional dissatisfaction the measure is be ing voiced and there are bipartisan demands for a thorough overhauling of the entire national revenue structure. One of the last big obstacles to a long-sought congressional recess, the excess profits legislation whipped through both house and senate yesterday in rapid fashion.

The President's approval is expected promptly because the bUl contains deemed essential for furthering the defense program. Congressional action on an profits measure left only the uuu.ihju aeiense appropriations fs 1 i-Mg it. luiius AImT W1C vJi scription program and the creation of an expanded army, already has received house approval but has not yet been reported out of senate eom- With November 11 and November checkup on sentiment today. In the event opposition materializes to a layoff of such duration, It was understood that leaders would resort to a series of three-day recesses for the period. As the excess profits bill went to the White House, opponents continued to inveigh against it as a "tax atrocity" which falls far short of objectives both in producing revenue and in preventing swollen profits in defense industries.

The bill has these four main points 1. It would increase the normal corporation income tax on firms earning more than $25,000 a year from the present rate of 20.9 per cent, to 24 per cent. 2. It would levy an impost of from 25 to 50 per cent, on what the bill designates as "excess profits." 3. It would suspend existing statutory, limitations on profits that may be made on government warship and aircraft contracts.

4. It would permit industries to deduct from taxable income over five-year period the cost of facilities and expansion necessary to handle defense contracts. The bill's yield was estimated at $525,000,000,000 on 1940 income, and between $900,000,000 and In subsequent years. Opponents were quick to point out, however, that this additional revenue would be a mere drop In the bucket when compared with the $15,000,000,000 In defense outlays voted by this session of congress. Reminding the senate that the deficit being created for defense would have to be paid some time, Senator Tom ConnaUy (Dcm, Tex.) "We mieht as well make up our JLrvTar liKL ta XfrtSl to raise what might be considered staggering sums." Senator Arthur Vandenberg calling the measure an "lmpounderable mess," charged that it failed to offer even an approach to the revenue which would be needed to offset a deficit which he predicted would reach this year.

"It is perfectly obvious," Vandenberg said, "that there has got to be a realistic, basic, fundamental revision of the tax structure." These views were echoed by Senator William H. King Utah), who warned colleagues that when they began the new session in January they might be faced with the necessity of voting taxes to raise up to $6,000,0000,000 a year. Some such possibility also was In mind of Representative Allen T. Tread way who told the house the excess profits measure was "only the entering wedge of the most extravagant linvef taxation this or any other Country ever has known." Provisions of Excess Profits Tax Are Listed WASHINGTON, October 2 (AP) Principal provisions of the excess profits tax bill which received final congressional approval yesterday: 1. A flat 3.1 per cent, is added to the normal income tax rate for corporations earning more than $25,000, making the effective rate 24 per cent.

2. A graduated tax of from 25 to 50 per cent, is imposed on earnings defined as excess profits. The tax would be 25 per cent, on excess profits of not more than 30 per cent, on the next 35 per cent, on the next 40 per cent, on the next $150,000 45 per cent, on the next $250,000. and 50 per cent, on all over $500,000. 3.

Excess profits would be determined by either of two Under one, the excess would be the earnings above 95 per cent, of the average earnings during 1D36 through 1939. Under the other, the excess would be the amount exceeding 8 per cent. of. the corporation's Invested capital, including 60 per cent, of its borrowed capital. Under either plan the first $5,000 of excess profits would be exempt from the levy.

4. Corporations completing defense manufacturing facilities after June 10, 1940, are permitted to deduct from taxable income over a five-year period the cost of such facilities. 5. The existing 8 and 7 per cent, profit limitations on government contracts for warships and airplanes is suspended during the period the excess profits tax is in effect. This is conditioned on the length of the emergency declared by the President.

6. A new system of law-rate kov-ernment life insurance for soldiers and sailors is created. This includes draftees and national guardsmen on active duty, and policies range up to $10,000. Pension increases also are provided to beneficiaries of the railroad retirement act serving in naval or military forces from the Spanish-American war to the present. April, enarp criticism oi uitr att was voiced by one man who whole- sale? coal for several Indiana i ju.C9, inoiana operaiors are wing pmcneq because the price schedules bene fit eastern operators.

He said Indiana operators have made commendable efforts within the last five years to reduce the cost of production, and the enforced price increase will keep Indiana coal from competing with West Virginia coal. Criticism Offered. "The coal industry Is stymied, The said. "We don't know where turn or what to do next." impossibility of carrying out the intent of the law was cited Toy one observer, who said that to do tins properly, a separate price schedule for every mine and every consuming plant in the nation w6uld have to be established. The price schedule as worked out under the Guffey act already fills a volume comparable in size to a latse dictionary.

"There are seventy-five rail shipping mines In Indianaf said a wholesaler, "and 1.000 truck shipping mines, operated by two or I three persons. How are you going; to police all these little mines to fee that the law is carried out?" Members of the district coal board are to meet in Terre Haute Friday to discuss the problem. Indiana mines produce approximately 15,000.000 tons annually and already are in competition with West Virginia mines which produce a better coal for domesUc consumption. The increases at. Indiana mines is expected to make additional inroads in the market the Indian product.

Don E. Bloodgood, superintendent of the municipal sanitary plant, told the works-sanitation board today that the new federal regulation of coal prices will boost the plant fuel bill about $20,000 a year. Blood sood said the city is paying $2.33 a ton for coal under a contract effective since January 1. The new price will be $3.03 a ton. he said.
