(Clapper, Page 13; Editorial, Page 14) WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (U. P.).—A new threat to success of the special session of Congress developed today in a Senate wrangle over consideration of the antilynching bill.

the measure might arise. The bill is sponsored by Senator VanNuys (D. Ind.) and Senator Wagner (D. N. Y.).

Senator Byrnes (D. S. C.) touched

off the dispute as jangling contro- |

versies marked the second day meeting of both houses of Congress House bickering forced chamber to take a roll call vote before adjournment finally could be ordered.

Senator Byrnes objected to Senate leadership program to take up the antilynch bill for considera-

ion ahead of Government reorgani- |

zation. It was reported Majority Leader Barkley agreed to take up the lynch bill when its supporters

told him they had enough voles to |

force its consideration. Meanwhile Senator Harrison (D. Miss.), Finance Committee chairman, stepped into leadership of a

Congressional drive for governmen- |

tal retrenchment and tax reduction. Wants Relief Cuts

Returning to Washington on the second day of the special session, outlined his views regarding revision of the undistributed profits tax, probably early next year, and said he hoped Congress would stand firmly for reduction of emergency relief expenditures. “Nothing would aid business more than for the country to know definitely that we are retrenching and are going to balance the budget.” the Mississippi Senator said. “That seems to be the Administration policy and I only hope that it can be exaggerated.” Senator Harrison did not preclude the possibility of action at the special session to modify the undistributed profits tax, but he said he favored an “orderly procedure” which would call for action by the Senate after the House initiates such a move. That procedure, he added, probably would mean delay until next session. His statement was significant in view of a drive, led by the Senate bloc that last session smashed President Roosevelt's Supreme Court program, to speed up and broaden

the indicated Administration pro- |

gram for aid to business. Opposes Tax Repeal

He expressed opposition at this |

time to repeal of the capital stock tax but said that the capital gains and ‘oss provisions of the present law should be modified. Resumption of PWA spending in restricted spheres also was advocated by Senator Harrison in connection with a general program for aiding economic recovery. As both Houses bickered over their programs, Chairman Vinson (D. Ky.), of the House Ways and Means fax subcommittee, said that the three business tax revisions already tentatively made by the committee will save taxpavers an estimated $93.800.000 a year. After a meeting of the committee, which is planning a comprehensive tax revision bill for the regular session, he said Treasury experts esti-

By THOMAS L. STOKES

Times Special Writer | WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—Presi- | dent Roosevelt has encountered a

rebellion from Southern Democrats |

in Congress at the outset of the special session. A rebellion which | seems certain to impede his legis- | lative program and which may have | significant political effects. Southern Democrats in the House, with some exceptions, are resentful

The Southerners are resisting consideration of this measure, which the House already has passed and which the Senate | agreed last summer to consider following the farm bill. The farm bill probably won't be | ready for several days. Senators Wagner and VanNuys are trying to

get precedence for their antilynch- |

the same period in 1936, while yes terday’s city traffic fatality mark was 21 under the total a year ago, Eighty-six persons have lost their lives in Indianapolis traffic this year, as compared with 107 last year at this time, according to police records. In Marion County, the total as of today was 130, seven less than for the same period in 1937. While the auto death rate in Indianapolis was being cut, fatalities in Marion County outside the City increased sharply, Forty-four persons have been killed in this county area this year as compared with 30 for the same period in 1936, an increase of 14. Up to July 15, there were 279 more accidents in Indianapolis this year than last, but yesterday's rece ords showed that the number had been slashed to 157 less than last vear's mark. The number of injuries also has fallen. So far this vear, 400 fewer injuries have been marked up than for the corresponding 11 months in 1936. Lieut. McCarty pointed out that in mid-July this year, 23 more injuries had been recorded than in 1936.

Excessive speeding also has been reduced, the officer said. He de-
