Washington Income tax reduction
of $160,000,000 was enacted into
i law Monday when President Hoover
; signed the joint congressional resolu
; tion providing for the slash. The
i chief executive affixed his signatuie
; in the presence only of two of his
1 secretaries, George Akersijn and Law
rence Richey, using the pen with
, which he transacts routine business.

paying public vn.i assured a rcduc
J 'tion of 1 per cent upon normal per-
sonal and corpor'icm levies to be
j paid next year. The measure had
I been sent to the treasury department
J ; where Secretary Mellon gave his ap
5'proval. A document to the white
house and the president signed it im
mediately after it was laid upon his
desk.
Enactment of the legislation,
which was the first to complete the
congressional circuit in the regular
! session, was finished all but for Mr.
j Hoover's signature when the senate
gave its approval by a vote of 63 to
14. The tax cut was advocated by
the administration early this fall and
won speedy approval from both re
publican and democratic leaders,
many of whom believed it would help
to give assurances that business con
ditions were sound. In the senate,
however, a number of western repub
lican independents voted against the
measure after assailing it as a gift
to the rich State Journal.

Plans Made at Meeting Monday to
Hold Annual Meeting First
Week in January
The members of the executive
board of the Nemaha area of the
Boy Scouts of America at a meeting
held at Nebraska City on Monday
evening laid their plans for the
coming year of work in the area and
taking up the question of the dis
tricting of the area for the better
ment of the work.
The annual meeting, to be attend
ed by ofiicers. committee members
and scoutmasters of Nemaha Coun
cil Area, will be held in Auburn oti
the niirht of January 7, it was un
animously decided. A banquet, fol
lowed by a business meeting, was de
cided upon.
The proposition for dividing the
rrc' into districts was introduced by
Cecil IJerzberger, scout executive of
the area, and was unanimously ap
proved. Work will start on organi
zation of five districts at o.ice and
will bo completed for the start of
the scout year in the area after the
annual m cling next month.
rive districts have been set as
follows:
1. Nebraska City headquarters for
Ni braska City, Louisville. Alvo,
Weeping Water, Avoca, Nehawka,
Syracuse, Dunbar and I5u-r.
2. Auburn headquarters for Au
burn, Julian. Peru, I'rownville, Stel
la and Brock.
.'I. Teeuirseh headquarters for Te
cumseh, Johnson, Sterling, Cook and
Pawnee City.
4. Falls Citv headquarters for
Falls City.
5. Plattsmouth headquarters for
Plattsmouth and Murray.
It was pointed out that it is im
possible for the executive to visit 25
towns often enough to maintain per
manent contacts. Under the district
system, -which has the endorsement
of the national organization and is
being used elsewhere, five organiza
tions will be set up directly under
the executive, and it will be the
duty of those district organizations
to carry the work directly to the
towns in that territory.
Anniversary Week Talked
Plans also were laid for observance
r-f Anniversary Week. February 7
13. which is the 20th anniversary of
scouting. It was decided to foster
troop competition in the area, award
ing points for various activities dur
ing a set period, and to award prizes
to the winning troops. The idea of
the competition will be to arouse en
thusiasm in scout work and to ad-

Fliers Attempt
Nonstop Flight
ID
Across Atlantic
Covered Nearly Three Hundred Miles
in First Three Hours; Good
Weather Ahead.
Seville, Spain, Dec. 15. Two avia
tors tonight were embarked on the
great adventure of an attempted non
stop flight to South America over a
route where five successful expdl-
tions preceded them, but where sev
eral have failed.
Major .Tadeo Larre-Borges was
seeking to fulfill a long-held dream
of linking Montevido, capital of his
native Uruguay, to the Spanish moth
erland by a single flight. His co
pilot was Lieutenant Chales, a
Frenchman with a distinguished re
cord of other long distance flights.
They left here at 12: 40. p. m. (7:40
a. m. E. s. T.) today and at 3:35
p. m. flew over Casa Flanca, Morocco,
and two and a half hours later over
Rio de Oro. In the first three hours
of their kight they had covered near
ly three hundred miles. They were
favored with fine weather over the
first stage of their flight, and tonight
had a moon nearly full to light their
way down the tropical coast.
The aviators intended to skirt the
western shores of Africa as far as
Cape Jubi in southern Morocco and
then head out across the Atlantic,
perhaps passing the Canary and Cape
Verde islands, toward Brazil. They
expected to pick up the Southern
American continent in the vicinity
of Natal, Brazil, and would then fol
low the coast line to Montevideo, if
their fuel lasts. There was evn talk
of pushing on farther, if conditions
were favorable, in an effort to stt a
new world distance record.
The last successful flight from Eu
rope to South America was that of
Captain Arturo Ferrarin and Major
B. Del Prete in July, 192S.
