MOO BEER HUE IS SEEN Investment Bankers Hear Estimate on Basis of 40Cent Per Gallon Tax. the Associated Press. WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. October beer and a Federal tax thereon could briny the Government as much as $754,000,000 additional venue, the Investment Bankers' Association convention was informed by its Federal Taxation Committee today. Without giving an opinion on prohibition, the committee reported that a tax up to 40 cents a gallon on beer might readily be levied, which would bring this large sum, and which is roughly equivalent to three-fourths of the Federal income tax collected in the last fiscal year.

"The assistance." the committee reported, "such additional revenue would be in the present emergency, representing as it would a voluntary payment constituting a burden only on those who chose to become subject thereto, cannot be disregarded. No Additional Expenditure. "From all the data on the present estimated consumption of Illegal beer, naturally approximate and subject to wide variations, a very substantial portion of this tax revenue would not represent additional expenditure on the part of the American public but rather a diversion of funds now going into bootlegging channels." Edward Hopkinson. chairman of the committee making this report, is a partner in the banking firms of J. P.

Morgan and Drexel Co. Col. Allen M. Pope, in his address opening the convention, reported results of an association research to show that on the whole bond investors have suffered surprisingly little by bond defaults. He said although "there have been the greatest number of bond defaults in history," he is convinced figures he has collected nevertheless "emphasize the comparative safety of bonds and the care which must have been exercised by bankers." His figures, he said, show that: Of $7,500,000.000 of foreign dollar bonds outstanding, 19.4 per cent are in default.

7.2 Per Cent of Industrials. Of $10.584,000.000 of industrial bonds outstanding. 7.2 per cent. Of $16.590.000.000 of public utility bonds. 5.4 per cent; of $12,021,000,000 of railroad bonds, 3 5 per cent.

The Real Estate Securities Committee reported real estate values will not recover, not only until taxes are cut, but also until taxing powers of local and State governments are restricted. The committee found that real estate taxes now amount to about 2 per cent interest on the average. The committee recommended as an important immediate need, a uniform mortgage foreclosure law which would eliminate the two to three year delay now generally necessary to consummate a foreclosure.

A page is to be written in the history of world aviation next month when Germany will undertake the flrst transatlantic airplane service, connecting the European lines of the great Lufthansa system with the South American lines of the German Conc.or Syndicate. According to unofficial advices received in Washington, the service will be started November 15 and will be operated on a regular schedule of two round trips a month. The lone ocean hop from the Canary Islands to Fernando do Noronha. ofT the coast of Brazil, both of which will be fueling stations, will be broken by a midocean refueling by steamer, the S. S.

Inauguration by Germany of the first ocean airplane service is a part of a campaign by that country to overcome aeronautical handicaps imposed upon her by the terms of the Versailles treaty. In the face of treaty handicaps. Germany, after long preparation, is ready to open the flrst ocean airplane service and already has pioneered a North Atlantic crossing and partially completed pioneering of route around the world.

Plans for the South Atlantic airline have been in progress for many months, according to advices received here by the Aeronautical Trade Division of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. As early as last July American consular representatives were aware of the plans. Early in the Summer Lufthansa extended its European airline system to the Canary Islands. At about the same time the German Condor Syndicate in South America extended a line to the tiny island Fernando do Noronha, 125 miles off Cap San Roque. Brazil.

The Germans established, es a training service for their transatlantic pilots, the "ship-to-shore" airplane service which has for many months been a feature of the fast service of the S. Bremen and Europa. Heinz Blankenbure, one of the most noted of the Bremen "catapult pilots." is expected to fly the first plane on the South Atlantic service. Cuts Two Days From Time. In the catapult service applied to the Bremen and Europa a plane is dispatched after the ship is several hundred miles at sea.

overtaking it a day out of port, with late mail, express, and even passengers. Six hundred miles from port, a full day out, the plane is catapulted from the steamer with important mail and other appropriate cargo. The result is the cutting of nearly two full days from the already fast steamship schedule. The Westfalen. it is understood, is equipped with radio "homing" apparatus to guide the planes to it in any weather.

The planes are expected to land alongside and be picked up by crane, as is done in the Bremen and Europa service. Refueled, inspected ani, if necessary, overhauled, the p'ane then will be catapulted away again. It is understood here that the Westfalen will serve as a relay point, planes from the Canaries and Fernando do Noronh ameeting in midocean and each returning to its own port. vaiiuwrsv nairr jump.

Graf Zeppelin Studies Way.

The South American cruises of the Graf Zeppelin during the past five months have given German aeronautical authorities the most thorough practical insight into the conditions they must meet in carrying on their proposed seaplane service. For five months the Graf has followed the schedule which is to be continued after the middle of next month by the seaplanes. Twice a month the huge airship has completed a round trip between Friedri 'hshafen and Pernambuco without a hitch or delay. Her five months of service now are completed and the seaplanes are to take up the burden, continuing the service during the coming months of the South Atlantic Spring and Summer. In South America the Germans are operating in direct competition with American enterprise.

For 2.300 miles, from Natal. Brazil, to Rio Grande, Argentina, the Condor lines parallel those of Pan-American Airways. Germany is counting on her South Atlantic service to increase her prestige in South America and on the speedy communications contemplated between the Fatherland and the New World to aid her in building up a gTeat Latin American market for the expansion of her home industries.
