Congressmen hesitate on revenue bill writing progress
Washington March 1 AP Congressmen privately weigh the March 1 yield from income taxes before sizing the next three year Roosevelt revenue bill. Some say better business receipts could trim the 792 million dollar target, while others hint changes to the president’s plan to tax undistributed corporate earnings may be needed.

Foul Play And Sabotage Suspected In Deadly Air Crash
The Commerce Department report on the American Airlines crash near Goodwin Arkansas eight weeks ago cites foul play or sabotage as possible causes but says none of the leads are substantiated. Officials note no witnesses and no structural failure evidence while outlining three plausible scenarios including interference with the pilot or cockpit visibility and a potential miscue by a less experienced co pilot. The report concludes the probable cause could not be determined though flying at a lower altitude late in the flight may have contributed.
