HOOVER INSISTS ON DIRECT DEALING WASHINGTON. Aug s.—Herbert Hoover, bead of the American relief administration, will insist on negotiations with th* Russian Soviet government ttvelf before extending American food und other relief to the famine stricken country, it was learned today. Hoover take* this position because he believes the Soviet is the only agency which can guarantee safety aud iret-p.m for American relief workers in Russia.

European director of the American relief administration I Dispatches from Uiga also stat'd Russia Intended to negotiate with Brown through a relief committee.

Meanwhile the Latvians, ordinarily opponents of the Soviets, expressed the hope that Lenin and Trotakl can remain In power for some time longer. No army, they said, can hope to oppose that : dismal swarm of refugees advancing across Russia. The sole hope Is that tho Soviet authorities can exercise some control and prevent the refugees from : over running other countries. Many Russians already are here ahead ;of the main body.

Secretary Mellon, however, apparently i has failed to convince Congress new taxes are necessary. Republican leaders in the House are just as adamant as evet that no additional levies will be made t The Democrats are'?.ankly gleeful over the situation and they are planning to make political capital out of the “Republican promise to decrease taxes.” Congressional elections are already looming on the political borison. Ciial.'man Madden of the House Ap-proprlat-on* Committee, who followed Secretary Mellon before the Ways anJ Means Committee, insisted the Secretary had not cut hi* estimate* to the bone, even la the revised statement, and that greater amounts can be saved through economies and larger sums realized from salvage and collection of back taxes than tho Secretary is willing to admit. MONDELI, LEADS IN GPEN CONDEMNATION. House Republican Leader Mondeil, voicing the sentiment of a majority ol the members of the House, is out in open condemnation of the taxes proposed by Secretary Mellon on postage stamp! and bunk checks, and will agree to an automobile tax only should such ba found necessary by the Ways and Means Committee. “The country demands a lifting, not a -histing, of the J-ax burdens," Moadell said. The committee believes there can be iarge reductions in appropriations by i Congress particularly for the Vrmy aud Navy if an armament limitation is agreed on by the nations of the world. SENATE MAY REJECT DYE EMBARGO PROPOSAL WASHINGTON. Aug. s.—Despite th* repeated demands of the American dye Industry that it be afforded protection ! tn the Fordney tarff biil by the shut- ; ting out of foreign dyestuffs with a virtual embargo, it was indicated today ; during the hearings before the Senate Finance Committee that the Senate was : likely to follow the lead of the House j in rejecting the embargo proposal. The coni tar industry, however, recognized a* it 1a as the means of assuring the country of ample protection in time of war through the manufacture of poisonous rases and explosives, will not go unprotected in the tariff bill, as duties of 7 cents a pound and 35 cents ad valorem now are carried in* the measure for coal tar products used for dyes. if the Finance Committee decides to line up with the House in refusing to incorporate the proposed dyestuffs embargo in the bill. It is probable that efforts will be made by extreme pro teetiouists and those interested in the dye industry to increase the ad valo--1 rc-tn duty on the imported products. ’ The committee hoped to complete bearings today on the eihbargo provision, after which a number of Government experts will testify on the American valuation plan at the request of Senator Smoot ;of Utah. At the conclusion of this testimony the entire committee will go into executive session to determine upon the fate of the dye embargo and the American valuations plan.
