KLEIN PROTESTS LEVY ON PROFITS YET UNREALIZED.

Cites as Injustices of Law Transactions During the Florida Realty Boom. Washington, Oct. 27-Transaetions during the Florida real estate boom were cited 88 possible examples of the injustices of taxaticn of unrealized Dr. Joseph J. Klein, Income tax expert and professor at the College of the City of New York, appearing today at the House Ways and Means Committee hearing on tax revision.

"IL I exchange a parcel of real estate for other real estate, paying or receiving a small amount of cash to Dr. Klein said, "I am compelled to account for a profit on the basis of the assessed or appraised value of the real estate which I receive in exchange, even. though I am not in funds with which to pay the tax. Cites Case of Florida. "It is not unusual in Florida, for example, to sell property for $100.000 receiving $20,000 or $25,000 in cash and the balance in notes, payable in three or four years.

In many of these instances the notes have anything but a realizable market value. Nevertheless, the Treasury insists that the sellers assume a cash value for such notes. I submit that in the case of exchanges transfers of property no taxable income or deductible loss should be spelled out unless there is received cash or its obvious equivalent." Dr. Klein characterized the failure of Congress to allow refunds of cash taxes on paper profits based upon erroneous inventories as 'a national crime for which atonement is long past due." Capital Stock Levy Attacked. Denouncing as "double taxation" present corporate levy, Wilson of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, asked repeal of the capital stock levy of $1 for each $1,000 of stock.

"The capital stock tax," he said, "originally was based upon the aggregate value of the shares of stock, while the present law aS applied bases the tar upon either value of net assets, value of shares, capitalized net earnings or an 'estimate of fair It is inherently incapaof just and equitable application." Repeal of this levy also was asked the American Mining Congress. GREEKS LEAVING BULGARIA AFTER LEAGUE THREAT Continued from Page One. Maggiore's code of peace for Europe, a stern pronouncement by Europe that the more universal peace code. the Covenant of the League of Nations, must be loyally followed--that is the message that radiates from Paris today in connection with the Council of the League's decisive action in ordering A halt in the Greco-Bulgarian conAlict. The Council's warning to the two Balkan states that they must cease hostilities and withdraw to within their own frontiers is regarded here as the logical sequence of what was achieved at Locarno in consolidating European security and as a concrete expression of the conviction that if Europe would survive it must elfectually stamp out war.

The order of the Council of the League to Greece and Bulgaria bears of no mis-interpretation. The belligerents were informed that Council was not satisfied that military operations had ceased, and a 24-hour limit for the issuance of instructions for withdrawal of the troops was issued. The Council also fixed upon sixty hours for assurance of the fulfillment of its orders. "Andl et it be carefully understood." declared M. Briand, President of the Council.

"that this time limit runs from now." A resumption of fighting will bring severe punishment upon the belligerents. "Europe has found itself." declared an eminent statesman after sitting of the epoch-making meeting of the League. "Thank God. men have found not only the will but the courage. to hit.

out at war. And don't forget that what we do in the case of the Balkans will serve as a precedent for the big nations of the earth." Belligerents to Bow to League. Dispatches reaching Paris during the night, while they asserted that the Bulgarians asserted the Greeks still were bombarding certain portions of their territory, that Bulgaria would follow the order of the Couneil. Likewise Greece was willing to accept conditionally. Statesmen connected with the Council seemed to see shining forth like a beacon in this new page of European history, the attitude of Great Britain, for they read in Foreign 1 Secretary Austin Chamberlain ringing condemnation of violations of the League covenant obligations that Great Britain, previously 3118- pected of luke-warmness toward the League, had now come out boldly and wholeheartedly in support of the covenant and is fighting for its saneay with the same fervor with which she combatted the famous Geneva peace protocol.

Diplomats here attribute the conclence which the Council strate: in the Balkan imbroglio Targely to the fact that there now are growing prospects that Germany will join the League, submitting to Its peace-incurring fabric and adding her potent voice to the 50 nations that have sworn to outlaw war. JAMES L. MORGAN DIES James La. Morgan, prominent banker and Brooklyn Heights resident. died today at the Hotel Bossert at the age 80.

HAVEMEYER PUT UP BULK OF CASH FOR TAYLOR LAND Wanted to Give State Park Site to His Children. That Horace Havemeyer had contributed most of the money for the purchase of the old Taylor estate at Great River. by the Pauchogue Land Company with the idea of giving it to his children for their use when they grow up was told at the resumed hearing today in the exaniination asked for by the Long Island State Park Commission of those who have been fighting the commission's acquisition of the property for State park purposes. Havemeyer is treasurer of the Pauchogue Land Company and he told Robert Moses, chairman of the 4 Long Island State Park Commission, that he had opposed the converting of the land for park purposes only for the reason he mentioned. When questioned further by counsel for the Commission, he declared that he owned 1,000 acres to the north of tha proposed park lands and 350 acres in the middle of Long Island.

Macy Scores Commission's Methods. K. Kingsland Macy, who has been doing most of the active fighting in behalf of the land company, and who is related to Mr. Havemeyer by marriage. preceded the latter on witness stand.

He denounced the methods adopted by the commission in seizing the land. He said that Chairman Moses had told him that the commission could seize his property. "I was amazed that such a power existed," said Mr. Macy, "and when I first heard of that I had known only vaguely about the existence of this Long Island Park Commission." Macy said that Mr. Moses represented his power as 80 great that he "could decide these lawsuits all by himself." And he quoted Mr.

Moses further as saying that the Commission will seize the property, and that neither Macy nor any one else could stop 1 it. Hearing Precedes Suit to Void Seizure. The hearing, which was concluded this afternoon, was held in one of the courtrooms of the Brooklyn Supreme Court. It is in advance of the trial of the suit brought by the Pauchogue Land Company to undo the seizure of the Great River property by the Commission on the legal ground that the Commission had no money to pay for the land at the time it made its seizure. The Commission got the money later on, and its claims is that all the technical objections are unavailing, as it could overcome those by merely seizing the land over again, now that the sum of $250,000 is available.

Mr. Macy testified yesterday that Governor Smith had asked him to a conference him about a letter the matter, written and by Chairman Moses. The letter, Mr. Macy insisted, did not state the situation accurately, in that it stated the Commission claimed to have a contract for the purchase of the property, and that as a matter of fact there was no such contract in existence. Governor Smith has been keenly interested in the acquisition of the Taylor estate for a State park.

Justice Norman S. Dike will be called upon now to decide whether the land company's suit is one in equity or whether a jury should pass on the controversy.

General Berry summoned upon his arrival in New York last night George J. Eltz, representing the city coal dealers, to today in his office. At this meeting Mr. Eltz informed him that the Commission's suggestion that the dealers lay in a supply of soft coal had been adopted. The dealers have on hand supplies of coke which will be sold as desired by the public.

Hard Coal Held in Reserve. Virtually all stocks of hard coal now held by dealers is being reserved by them in co-operation with the commission for special purposes for delivery in small lots to those who purchase coal by the hundred pounds. This coal will be sold at the rate of 75 cents per 100 pound lots. Permits will be issued to purchasers for this coal by Dr. Monaghan of the Health Department upon application.

Certain amounts of this remaining hard coal will also be sold at a normal figure to charitable institutions who yearly dole out coal to families too poor to purchase coal. The co-operation of the dealers in ordering soft coal will eliminate the necessity of the city opening city depots for the sale of soft coal as was suggested last week by General Berry the event the dealers failed to put in a supply. Danger Now Remote Says Berry. "I am very glad to announce that this makes the danger of 8 fuel shortage in New York this winter very remote," said General Berry.

"This orphanage," Commissioner Coler said, "is one of the few which does not receive city or State money, and therefore is not under supervision by either the State or city. Last year I favored the bill the State Board Charities making all such whether they receive such money or not, subject to supervision at least. Wants City Supervision.

"Of course we cannot be certain that, even with supervision, a case of such degeneracy would not now and then break out. But our inspectors have a great deal of knowledge about such men as Johnson, and the chance that he would be allowed to take charge of an orphanage would be greatly reduced. "The proposed law died in committee last session, but we will bring it up again, and of course this case will be used as an added argument for it. There should be no opposition on the part of the religious bodies supporting their own orphanages. The supervision would not deal with religious matters, but only with the health and related conditions of the children."
