...When the 36th State deposits its ratification of the 21st Amendment with the Secretary of State, the National Recovery Act requires the President to proclaim the date of Repeal. Much depends on whether that date is before or after Jan.1. If it is before, the gasoline tax drops back to 1? per gal. and the dividend tax becomes void as of Jan.1. If it is after, these taxes continue to operate throughout the calendar year of 1934 despite the fact that liquor taxes will also be collected during this period...
...excess profits tax ceases to function for the taxable year following that in which Repeal occurs. Thus if, for example, the President proclaims Repeal Dec. 13. 1933 (the week after the ratification convention of the 36th State), corporations will pay on their 1933 excess profits on March 15, 1934 and no more thereafter. But if Repeal does not come until Jan. 5, 1934, corporations will have to pay excess profits taxes for 1934 on March 15, 1935. Most corporate taxpayers were ready last week to gamble on Repeal during...
...Tennessee ratified the 20th Amendment to the Constitution to eliminate "lame duck" sessions of Congress. They were the 32nd and 33rd States to do so. Next day Idaho and New Mexico fell into line.

...looked as though slim Tom Creavy, last year's winner, would play Olin Dutra for the title but Creavy, when he had squared his semi-final match with Frank Walsh of Chicago on the 36th, after being 9 down in the morning round, missed an important five-foot putt on the 38th. Dutra, who had coasted through the tournament, played Walsh in the finals. In California, where he and his brother learned to play on an improvised course between two trees in a meadow, Dutra is known for his steadiness, his diligence on practice tees. His short swing is especially...
...Eugenia Polites Siaperas, 23, had been married 16 hours when, from a honeymoon suite on the 36th floor of the Morrison Hotel, she flung herself screaming out the window. Her husband. Peter Siaperas, 34, a confectioner, told police he had accused his wife of premarital unchastity. He said she had admitted the truth, become hysterical, thrown her engagement and wedding rings into a trunk and jumped. The police released Confectioner Siaperas, but the inquest went on. The bride's honor in question, her family invoked church law, called three doctors. Meanwhile, Dr. Peter N. Hatzis examined the body...
