Senate Slashes Glass Duties in Budget Fight
In a partisan Senate action on February 11, Democrats and independent Republicans backed rollbacks to 1922 law levels for window glass and plate glass duties. The Burkley amendment to reduce wind glass duties passed 45 to 40, and McMaster’s plate glass cut won 42 to 36. Votes split largely along party lines, with 12 Republicans and 29 Democrats supporting Barkley, and 16 Republicans and 27 Democrats backing McMaster. The measure follows President’s proclamations and hints at further reconsideration of window tile duties.

Two Die as Fire Destroys Ship Munchen at New York Pier
New York February 1 A blazing fire on the 144000 ton German liner Munchen after it returned from an Atlantic crossing caused at least two deaths and injuries to seven others. A fireboat pilot and a German electrician perished, while a stewardess and several crew members were among those hurt. Damage to the ship was extensive, with estimates from 2.5 to 4 million dollars and cargo valued around 500 thousand dollars. The ship was nearly a total loss, and the incident prompted a dramatic rescue effort as flames raged and explosions shook the vessel. The Munchen docked at 9 30 a m and lay crippled in the river as authorities investigated the disaster.
