Democrats have been less open so far ] with their opposition. But several have intimated their intention to | join today with Senator Wheeler, Dem., Mont., in challenging the | agreement entered into by Minor- , ity Ijeader Robinson. The attack is based upon two • facts. Tlie agre ment does not provide specifically for food loans to needy farmers. 2.—No provision is made for relief of needy unemployed persons and their families in urban centers. Republican and Democratic leaders are confident they can withstand the coalition assault from w ithln their own ranks. Majority Leader Watson said he would summon a party caucus today to speed up the appropriation program once the relief question is out of the way. Today#and tomorrow prob- ! ably will b? consumed in relief debate. -> o Seventy-five, But “1931 Model’’ Imboden, Ark., Feb. 9. —(U.R) ] Students refer to Prof. J. (’.

No mention was made of Butler's previous explan- ] ation. sent to Adams, immediately after the secretary’s protest and | the state department's formal! apology to Italy. Washington received with surprise the announcement of the dramatic ending of the case. Cpin--ident with the refusal of Adams, Butler and the general's attorneys ■ to comm-n’. there were circulated rumo••• that the cancellation of, the trial had been brought about! "by agreement.” While these rumors apparently, ■ were without tangible basis.it was pointed out that Sunday ordinarily; , is not a day for transaction of such official business. The fact that Butler's letter and Adams’ 1 reprimand both were dated Feb-! ruary S also was cited. Butler was on duty today at the! Quantico, Va., marine base, rein-! stated as commandant there byi Adams’ action. He refused to dis- J cuss the case. Major Henn- Leonard, who served witli Butler in China nearly 30 vears ago and who was his chief counsel in this case, replied to questioners with the assertion he was bound by a gentlemen’s agree-1 ment not to discuss the subject. | The charges on which Butler j was to have been court martialledl never have been made public, although it was reported they were of a severe nature, alleging “conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline in the service." The max'mum penalty under a guilty verdict it was said, would have 1 been dismissal from thei service and up to 15 years penal servitude. Refuse Comment Rome. Feb. 9—(U.R) Official circles declined comment today on the dropping of court martial proI i-ee-lings against Gen. Smedley Butler, saying that as far as Italy was concerned, the incident was closed with Secretary of State Stimson’s apology to the Italian i government. No press comment on the dropping of the .Butler trial appeared here in morning newspapers today. LARGE AUDIENCE ATTENDS PLAY (GONTINUFB FROM "‘N'E) with the singing of a lullaby song by a group of children as they surrounded the mahger. Each part had a special Reader introducing the different characters. The entire cast appeared on the platform at the close of the third part singing, “Holy, Holy, Holy".

Reports were brought to the ;legislature from meetings of the 1 Indiana State Teachers’ ussogiaI tion legislative committee, the Indiana City and Town Superln--1 tendents’ association, and the In- ’! diun.t Schoolmen's club, which In--1 dlcated that the measure now ' pending would not be supported ! by theae groups. 1 j A text bock rental plan, incorI porated in a bill now before the 1 legislature was favored, however, > by tlie legislative committee , of lithe City and Town Superintendi ants' association.

1 | 01.75 on local property tax levies. 1 ] Dllhhnne said (he measure would ■ Involve schools in politics. I ji DEFEAT EFFORTS MADE TO AMEND SCHOOL MEASURE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) center around the Beckett-Huff measure for ten per cent reduc- - tlons in local government budgets ? during the next two years, and the -! Drake Rowley bill, which would liplace an absolute limit of $1.75 on t property taxes. In the house, the Democratic in- ‘ come tax bills were scheduled to ’ make their appearance today, and ' probably will be rushed through. 5 The two senate bills have treat ’ ed vigorous opposition. The bud- ’ get limitation measure has been J made a party measure by the Re ' 1 publican majority and as such is I being attacked by Democrats, who | say the Republicans are seeking I glory for themselves. Opposition i ' | Is baaed on contentions that such! I a law would disrupt tlie set-up of j local governments. J While the senators are seeking . i new ways of raising revenue to /supplant taxes on property, they are confronted with' two old age ■ pension measures. One was intro.l duced in the senate and the other • was passed in tlie house as a dem■'ocratlc platform measure. The, former will be brought out tomorrow as a special order of business and Is expected to be contested vigorously, on economic grounds. ] The income tax bills in the house.

J providing taxation on both Indlvl llilial ami corporate incomes, were evolved by the house ways ami means committee from several proposals. Under their provisions, single persons would be granted i exemption am) married persons 1 000, with tin additional exempt ion of S2OO for each dependent, lax ' rales would range from one per f cent on the first SI,OOO of taxable ■ net Income to four per rent above s SIO,OOO, ■ Corporations would Im tax d I three per cent on all net income. i The two hills would provide approximately $7,50i),000. it has been • estimated. i Witli increasing prospects for a I legislative jam at the end of the session and the certainty that several measures of importance will bo left unpassed when the session adjourns, talk of a special session already is heard. Although Governor Harry G. Leslie has said he would not call a j special session for enactment of a ! congressional reapportlonment law, jit is not known whether he would 'hold the same view in regard to .other m-asures. He is believed un--1 lavorable to the plan, however, on the ground that a special session would do no more constructive legislating than had been done in | a regular term. Among proposed measures which ] I may not be handled in this session and would be brought up in an ex|tra meeting, ate bills relating to revision of the state police and probation systems, the state school aid ] problem, and reapportionment.
