The House Rules Committee will report it out

.nomically and efficiently; whether
its work has bsen handicapped by
. internal dissension,
2. Whether =zny Board member
has aided private power companies
in suits for injunctions; what suits have been instizated and what dis-
“position has been made of them;
what financial loss municipaiities and farm organizations have suffered from such suits; the extent of private utilities’ activities to prevent municipalities and farm organizations from buying TVA power or acquiring title to distributions systems. 8. The truth of charges made by Dr. Arthur E. Morgan, removed by
. President Roose'elt as chairman, al-
leging an attempt to defraud the Government in land purchases. 4.

Most Letters Oppose Reorganization Bill (Editorial, Page 10)
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY ! Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, March 26.—Hoosier Congressmen are hearing from their constituents regarding the Byrnes Government Reorganization Bill, with opposition letters - and telegrams leading those advocating passage by about 10 to 1, a checkup
- revealed today.
| Senator Minton, one of the prinipal champions of the bill in the nate, declared this is due to “propaganda” from such organizaions as the National Committee to 'phoid Constitutional Government. | He has been hooked to speak over the NBC-Blue network from 9 to 9:15 p. m. (Indianapolis Time) to-
- night on “Government by Propa- _ ganda.”
Meanwhile leiters are pouring in n the Congressmen from writers who express the hope that the Reoranization Bill may be halted in the ouse after it passes the Senate onday afternoon. Rep. Samuel B. Pettengill, who as been speaking against the bill since he :debatzd James Roosevels
- on the subject in New York City,
-reports that the principal opposition is to abolition of the Gompiavile: General's office. Rep. Louis Ludlow made a similar report. Rep. John W. Boehne Jr. said he had’received about a dozen .or more letters daily on the subject for the last week and almost all were opposing passage of the bill. Rep. Glenn Griswold’s office re-
ported likewise, but added that the | bill
letters were not from the Fifth District, which Mr. Griswold represents. Rep. Arthur Greenwood also. report-
. ed numerous letters from outside his
district—the Seventh. These came mostly from the Ninth District, which is represented by Rep. Eugene B. Crowe. The latter's office reported they were largely from Columbus and were form letters, “indicating that ae opposition had been in-

® : - Unreasonable Surplus
Faces New Penalty
WASHINGTON, March 26 (U. P.).—The Senate Finance Committee today considered proposals to strengthen provisions of the tax laws which penalize corporations for accumulating “unreasonable” surpluses. These provisions are distinct from the undistributed profits tax already eliminated from the tax bill by the Finance Committee—in that they apply only to accmulations of ‘surplus held to be unreasonable. Chairman Harrison (D. Miss.) said that several proposals to strengthen these provisions were placed before the Committee today, but he said a final decision would not be reached until the Committee reconvened Monday. The proposals are designed, Sena-.
rations which accumulate surpluses by withholding dividend distributions to stockholders, who would have to pay high surtax rates on their incomes. “If we can strengthen the provision we are going to do it and I think that we can,” Senator Harrison said.
Referendum Plan
Of Amendment Favored
WASHINGTON, March 26 (U. P.). —A Senate Judiciary Subcommittee headed by Senator Norris (Ind. Neb.) today reported to the * full Committee a joint resolution proposing that Constitutional amendments may be ratified by popular referendum as well as by legislatures or conventions as at present. The changes would apply only after . ratification of the joint resolution, which would be approved or rejected in accordance with existing Constitutional requirements.
Drys Seek to Raise Tax on Whisky
By HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer . WASHINGTON, March 26.—Senatorial drys were said today to be hopeful of raising the House ante in the matter of increased taxation on whisky and gin. The present Federal tax on hard drinks is $2 a gallon. The House recently adopted an amendment to the tax bill by Rep. A. Willis Robertson (D. Va.) raising it to $2.25. Today two members of the Senate Finance Committee, which is now revising the tax measure, were reported to be advocating a still further increase. They sare Senators Capper (R. Kas.) and King (D. Utah). Senators Barkley (D. Ky.) and Guffey (D. Pa.) were reported: ready to oppose the move when the Committee takes up the excise tax provisions of the bill next week. Opponents of a higher tax warned that even the House rate would cost the consumer much more than 25 cents, because of “‘pyramiding.” Whisky changes hands four or five times between distiller and drinker, they. said. The present $2 fiom 4 tax is paid upon withdrawal from the warehouse and is forthth added to the “cost.” Each merchant bases his “markup” on this tax-inclusive feature. Thus if it cost $1 to manufacture and age a gallon of whisky, the company which bottled it would base its markup on a certain percentage of $3 not of $1. The wholesaler, jobber and retailer compute their prices the same way, it was said, so the eventual retail priee includes a series of middlemen’s profits on taxes as well as profits on ine liquor itself.
Alternative Resougces
Boards Proposed : "WASHINGTON, March 26 (U. P.).—Both Houses of Congress approached action today on separate proposals to assure preservation and development of the nation’s natural resources. The Senate votes Monday on the Byrnes Government Reorganization Bill which contains a provision, already tentatively .approved, to establish a five-member National Resources Planning Board. = The House Rivers and Harbors Committee will formally report also on Monday a bill to set up an eleven-member National Resources Board and to divide the country into seven planning regions. Each section would have a Board member appointed by the President from a regional committee representing states in the area. There would be four national members. There - was no indication which proposal would be enacted, if ejther. Chairman Joseph J. Mansfie Tex.), whose House Committee approved the regional bill yesterday, oe that the conferees on the reorganization bill, or the House when considering their report, might remove the Senate provision in anticipation of passage of their own

Japan t to Quit Alaskan Fishing!
(Conitinued from Page One)
“necessary and proper measures” in the future against any Japanese vessels proven to have been engaged in salmon fishing on a commercial scale in the waters in question. The burden of proof, however, ‘was placed on the American Government. The State Department announced that the Bureau of Fisheries and the U. S. Coast Guard will be detailed to “the duty of observing fishing activities in Alaskan waters,” and presumably will be in posi-
tion to furnish the required proof.,
Four Points Unsolved The agreement between the two Governments ‘left several phases of the. controversy unsettled: 1. The Japanese Government reg-
| istered a reservation on “the ques-
tion of rights under international law” with regard to the activities of its fishing vessels operating outside the territorial waters of the United States. 2. The United States, said in a statement to Japan on Nov. 22 that “the salmon runs of’ Bristol Bay and elsewhere in Alaskan waters are an American resource.” 3. Japan contended that no licenses were being issued to Japanese fishing vessels to fish - for salmon in the Bristol Bay area. 4. The United States countered that “nevertheless evidence which continues to reach the American Government raises a strong presumption that Japanese nationals actually have begun salmon fishing on a substantial scale in the waters in question.
Hitler Tells Story of Talk With Schuschnigg
BERLIN, March 26 (U. P)— Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, in his speech at Koenigsberg yesterday told the inside story of his talk with Kurt Schuschnigg, then’ Austrian Chancellor, at Berchtesgaden, Feb. 12, as the result of which the Nazis seized power in Austria. “The man who tyranized Austria was Schuschnigg,” Herr Hitler said. © “I told Herr Schuschnigg: ‘You oppress the country which is my home. You have no right to do that.’ “1 suggested to him that he consult the people—that the people should choose ' between two candidates,- him and me. He replied that was impossible for constitutional reasons. Then I proposed .a peaceful compromise but seriously warned. him that .the Reich would act. ‘He did not believe that and therefore he broke the agreement. “We now have proof that the day. before my Feb. 20 speech he said that the agreement was only a tactical marieuver, meant. to enable him to gain time until the foreign political situation was better. . He | desired to mobilize foreign countries against Germany. We found posters prepared in advance with the outcome of the plebiscite already announced. < “Then I. marched because - I wanted to show the world I was in bitter earnest.”
