I -J- I i rti ii I STARTS 2D TERM George A. Wingate (left) was sworn in yesterday for his second term as Kings County Surrogate by County Clerk John N. Harman. A Democrat, the Jurist was indorsed by the Republicans in the election this Fall. The only witnesses were John R.

U. to Include All Other Fields of Sport A nation-wide survey of accidents in school sports, it was announced last night, will seek to determine the causes of the large number of deaths and Injuries in football this Fall and will strive to find a cure.

Dr. Jay B. Nash, head of the de partment of physical education In New York University's School of Education, who made the announce ment, said the survey actually has been in progress for the past three months, physical directors in more than 20 States and school officials of other States have been collecting data and making reports on football, baseball, basketball, track and other athletic activities. More than 1,000 institutions have turned in reports, and still more are to come. Planned Tear's Study The survey, said Dr.

Nash, was projected to take a full year and was not prompted originally by this Falls football injuries and more than 40 football deaths. Since that development, however, it is planned to pay particular attention to football. The original plan was the general one of discovering the number of those injured in athletic contests and physical exercises in schools of the country each year. On the basis of such Information, it was hoped to devise methods of reducing the Injuries. Prof.

Frank S. Lloyd, associate professor of physical education at N. Y. is director of the survey which was suggested and made possible by the establishment of a New York University Fellowship by the National Bureau of and Surety Underwriters as a part of a general accident prevention and safety campaign. "To take away the danger from play is both unnecessary and undesirable," said Professor Lloyd.

"Some of the joy of playing comes from the fear content of the activity. To remove all the danger would so 'de bone' these activities that nobody would desire to engage in them."

Washington, Dec. 12 A drive Is well under way In both houses of Congress for a stringent gift tax despite the failure of Secretary Mellon to Include It In hlsi program for reducing the $2,000,000,000 deficit Coupled with the demand for a gift tax is the movement to boost the inheritance tax rates. Both are receiving the support of many Republicans as well as Democrats. Lawyers in both houses regard the gift tax as essential It the Treasury is to receive the full benefit of the inheritance tax even though Congress follows Mellon's recommenda tions and makes but a small increase in the latter. Living trusts, so-called, would be particularly hard hit by the gift tax now under consideration.

While the present Federal Inher itance tax rate follows a graduated scale, the maximum rate of 20 per cent is seldom, if ever, paid, unless the estate is tremendously large. How Tax Is Worded There are several reasons for this. Chief among them is the fact that there is no gift tax. As a result, wealthy persons transfer large slices of their assets to relatives during their lifetime under living trust agreements. Only a small portion of their total estate left to come under the inheritance tax provisions on their death.

Inheritance taxes are regarded by Congress as one of the least objec tionable methods of raising ad ditional revenue. For this reason many favor In creasing the rates far above Mellon's proposed 5 percent rise, from 20 to 25 percent. Many feel that the top figure should be at least as high as the highest surtax rate, which would be about 40 percent If that part ot Secretary Mellon's plan is accepted By imposing higher Inheritance tax rates, together witn a gut tax many Democrats feel they can avoid many of the Mellon proposals they regard as objectionable. Want to Keep Exemptions At least they feel these rates would enable them to maintain the present income tax exemptions which the treasury has recom mended reducing. Under Mellon's plan the exemptions would be $1,000 in the case ot single men and $2,500 in the case of family heads.

The present exemptions are $1,500 for single persons and $3,500 lor mar' rled heads of families. A fight is in prospect also over the Administration's proposal to Jack up the excise taxes on tobacco. Tobacco growers and cigar and cigarette manufacturers are circularizing members of both houses in an attempt to offset the effect of the Mellon proposal. They point out that In the ten-year period ended last year tobacco excises have yielded a steadily Increasing amount despite economic fluctuations that have upset return's from other taxes. Discuss Taxes Tuesday Taxation is to be one of the major subjects of discussion at the meeting of the Joint Democratic policy committee Tuesday.

It is not expected to come oeiore the House Ways and Means Committee, where the tax bill will be written, until after the Christmas holidays. The committee will hold Its first meeting Monday to organize and probably will start hearings on the Hoover debt moratorium Tuesday, These hearings are likely to take up all the committee's time until the holidays.

8 I Smoot Urges Silver as Basis Continued From Page 1 ligations becoming due after the in tergovernmental debt holiday ex pires next July 1. Silver would go up a little in price, he said, and by accepting it, we would recognize a value to it and show that we are willing to ac cept It in payment of obligations." Senator King, his Democratic col league from Utah, held, however, It was not an "effective way to deal with this problem" and "would dump on the United States a large quantity of silver without giving it monetary status." The Congressional chieftains made It plain through the day that the Administration must act on its own responsibility regarding debt payments due America on Tuesday. These would be suspended under the moratorium. The latter cannot possibly be ratified by the time the debts are due. Ready to Reassure Europe Mills said that if the question of these debt payments arose, Secre tary Stlmson was prepared to in form the foreign governments they could not be held in criticism for the failure of Conpress to ratify the agreement.

Previously House leaders had re fused to sign any letter to this ef feet. In addition they Informed Mills they would accept no responsl bility for any statement respecting the $125,000,000 in debt payments due the United States on Tuesday. Later. Chairman Borah of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee, who is supporting the mora torium and who attended the Mills conference, took the administration to task for not having called a special session of Congress to ratify the moratorium. However, despite the confusion over the Tuesday payments, no one on Capitol Hill expected them to be made nor was It thought that the "technical default" would have any effect on the credit of the foreign pow i nor on ratification of the moratorium.

Ravlainn CfJn Sidp (nu1 rl The" sharp reminder' given Mills today by the Senate leaders was expected to result in at least a temporary sidetracking of the Ad ministration's campaign for further debt revision. There was no re sponse on Capitol Hill, however, to the vigorous defense of this move made last night by Secretary Mellon. Those who met with Mr. Mills today in the office of Senator Wat' son of Indiana, the Republican leader, also Included Senators Bo rah, Smoot, Walsh of Montana, the assistant Democratic leader, and Harrison of Mississippi, the ranking Democrat on the Finance Committee. Late In the day Mills reported to President Hoover his discussions with the Congressional leaders.

Upon leaving the White House, he said the Administration would make no formal statement on the Tuesday payments. Over In the House, Representative Ayres, Democrat, Kansas, proposed that consideration of the moratorium be deferred until assurances have been received from Europe on arms limitations. Representative Rankin, Democrat, Mississippi, said he would offer an amendment to the moratorium resolution declaring against reduction, revision or cancelation of the debts in the future. Says Osteopath ered the widespread development of the "anxiety complex," he said, and the result has been an undermining of public health. If the predicted influenza epidemic breaks, It will go hard ln- ded, he said, on the millions whose' "protective mechanics is in no condition to make an adequate defense.

Dr. Hillman described the "anxiety complex" as a tissue of fears that ultimately upset the en tire nervous system of the Individual and cause a nervous collapse. It Is fosterd, he said, by the general feel ing of insecurity throughout the economic world. PHI BETA KAPPA Probe, Suggests Sea-! lkivv Tiiin Tveontv aua uk aa m. a mv i The Hofstadter probers centered their attention yesterday on the affairs of former Sheriff Charles W.

Culkin of Manhattan and Police Capt. John T. Howard, attache of Mayor Walker's office, whose recent exoneration on charges of lng to "fix" a liquor case has been attacked by Counsel Samuel Sea-bury. The two phases of the inquiry, it was indicated, were being groomed for presentation at this week's public hearings of the investigating committee. Under circumstances that the probers regarded as unique, Howard was quizzed yesterday by Seabury aides, Irving Ben Cooper and Philip W.

Lowry, on the mooted subject of his bank accounts. Tammany Senator John W. MNaboe, the wigwam's chief Seabury baiter, again attained notice by injecting himself into the examination. May Summon Seabury Seabury, who spent the day at East Hampton, received reports that Governor Roosevelt may summon him to Hyde Park for conference today. probe counsel declined to comment on the reports.

He has let it be known that, after several weeks of failure on the Governor's part to exhibit Interest in the probe's revelations, he will forward the executive transcripts of the testimony he deems as warranting the removal from office of Sheriff Thomas M. Farley of Manhattan, and Borough President John A Lynch of Richmond. The chronology of the recent Howard appearances at the probe headquarters is interesting. Several times he has been summoned in the efforts of Seabury's aides to obtain explanations of bank deposits pictured as greatly in excess of the $35,000 fortune attributed to Deputy Chief Inspector Thomas J. Kelly.

Each time, despite the comforting presence of Tammany's McNaboe In the hearing room, his testimony has been unsatisfactory and he has been handed a new subpena. Fails to Appear Howard was scheduled for another examination by Cooper and Lowry Friday morning, and when he did not appear a call was put in to Police Headquarters. Harold Neary, secretary to Commissioner Mulrooney, explained that the captain, was busy at Mayor Walker's iiomecoming reception. It was agreed. It was stated, that the Mayor's attache present himself that afternoon for the continued quiz.

The captain, however, did not appear and no explanation has been obtained. Cooper and Lowry sought out McNaboe, but learned that the Senator was taking a day off from the probe. McNaboe walked into the probe headquarters early yesterday with Howard in tow and again sat In on the examination. tTh rmpfttinna nut. tn Hnwnrrf It.

Controller General McCarl, in a letter to United Drydocks, which operates a string of shipyards and drydocks in the Port of New York, including Shewan's plant and the Morse plant in Brooklyn, announced that he has upheld the new pro cedure for competitive bidding. At the same time he banned the procedure for future government bidding and quoted court decisions at length, which held similar practices open to suspicion of favor-, itism.

Bath Iron Works Low In bidding for building destroy ers of the Navy's own design, the low estimate was submitted by Bath Iron Works, at $2,626,000 for ona ship to be delivered in 30 months; United Drydocks was second low est with $2,645,000 for one ship to be delivered in 24 months, and Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corpora tion was third lowest with a $2,893,000 bid for one ship with de-' livery in 24 months. Before these bids were actually received, the Navy notified bidders it would receive alternate proposals on the bidder's own design. Bath Iron Works, United Dryrocks and Bethlehem Shipbuilding put in bids. When bids were opened and evaluated on a rating system which took speed, fuel consumption and other factors Into consideration, awards of one vessel each were made to Boston Navy Yard, Bremerton Navy Yard, Brooklyn Navy Yard and Bath Iron Works, on the Navy's own design, and of one vessel to Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation on its own design. United Drydoclcs Protested United Drydocks lodged complaint with the Controller General on ground that Bath Iron Works had teen low bidder and it second.

The Controller General considered the protest two months. His decision yesterday reveiwed decisions that public contracting must be on the basts of definite specifications offered to all bidders. He said that the alternate bids called for in this case were open to question when tested by these decisions and that the procedure. If followed further, would breed dissatisfaction among bidders and bring forth charges of favoritism and even fraud. Sisters of Mercy Hold Centennary The 100th anniversary of ths founding of the Sisters of Mercy was celebrated here by a pontifical mass in St.

Real Meaning of Term Short Sales Explained Short selling is the sale of stock which at the time of sale is not owned by the seller. When a short sale Is made the seller borrows the number of shares sold in order to make delivery to the purchaser. Short selling is based on the belief that the price of the stock will decline. When and if the price does drop, the seller buys the number of shares sold and returns them to the person from whom he borrowed them. In short selling profits are therefore made on a decline in price.

If the stock does not decline and the seller Is compelled to buy at a higher level than his selling price he suffers a loss. Concerted short selling by pools may have the effect of forcing the stocks sold short to lower levels than warranted by the actual values represented.

Sidney S. Lenz made four three on the first hand last match with Oswald Jacoby, Mrs.

Lose Night at Club In an effort to catch "up with their schedule, the bridge rivals had to forego their Saturday night at the club and enter the 29th rubber of the 150-rubber test of the Official and Culbertson systems of contract.

An extra session was called when play was progressing slowly, but the speed of the fourth session, which ended early yesterday morning, left nothing to be desired. In it 12 rubbers were played, or four more than it was first hoped the average would be. Because of that, the series was only four rubbers behind expectations and was on its way to a possibility of ending before Jan. 15, the time limit for deciding the competition of Mr. and Mrs.

Culbertson against Lenz and Jacoby. Lenz and Jacoby entered the 29th rubber 5,650 points ahead and with 17 rubbers to their credit, compared with 11 for the Culbertsons. Jacoby had perplexed the Culbertsons with his bluff bids. Sometimes Ely lays a trap for Ossie and the wily youth dodges it as he did tacklers on the football field. And then again Ossle makes a psychic bid and thereby gets the enemy Into a contract it cannot make.

Ossie read the signals and in serted the spade bid on his lone king in an effort to Interrupt the enemy line of communications.

Ely was wise. He simply bid two spades over Ossie's one to show Mrs. Culbertson that her partner had the spades stopped. Mrs. Culbertson received the mes sage.

Ossle kept still when he noted that his camouflage had been seen through. Mrs. Culbertson was set one. Her husband regarded it as a tough con tract to make and praised the play of the opposition. The opening lead was the Jack of hearts.

Changes in genes are the basis of evolution, scientists believe. These transitions are believed to be chem leal In nature, but how and why they take place is still a mystery to scientists. They have known genes must exist, even though invisible, Just as they know atoms exist, though no one ever has seen an atom.

oenes are arranged inside very small, sausage-shaped objects called chromosomes. All the genes In chromosome tend to stay together and reproduce the same comblna tlons of traits In the next genera tion. The genes in any chromo some are arranged in order some' what like beads on string.
