say this, but that he did suggest a need for raising the debt limit to 50 billions. They understood that he was pressed for an opinion on how many billions the Government could safely borrow, but that he declined to suggest a figure.

~The request for an increased debt limit may be put off until Congress has disposed of the President’s renewed proposal that it terminate the exemption of state bonds from Federal income tax and vice versa. A special Senate Committee headed by Senator Brown, which has concluded hearings on this subject, will “make its recommendations within a week. Yesterday the committee voted approval of a House bill removing the reciprocal tax exemption of state and Federal salaries. Senator Brown said the Committee conceded a doubt as to the bill's constitutionality, but felt there was sufficient ground for passing it and letting the Supreme Court decide. “The question of taxing securities, however, raises a harder question,” the Senator said. “Whereas a mod‘erate income tax on state salaries would not appear to be a great hardship on a state, the removal of tax exemption from securities might force such an increase in interest rates as to be a real burden. “The Committee hasn’t made its decision on this issue. I don’t third it will come to an agreement so readily as it did on the salary bill.” One possibility, he indicated, was that the Committee might recommend the Federal taxation of future Federal securities, without disturbing the exemption of state and local issues. This, he said, would be unquestionably constitutional.

Internal Revenue

Collections Fall

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 (U. P).— The Treasury Department revealed today that internal revenue collec- . tions for the first eight months of the current fiscal year totaled $2,992,986,672, a decrease of $140,695,553 from the corresponding period of last year. The decrease was brought about by a drop in' the collection of income, excess profits and unjust enrichment taxes; social security taxes and miscellaneous internal revenue taxes. The largest drop was recorded in miscellaneous internal revenue tdxes which fell $99,385,736 from the previous year. Receipts from income, excess profits and unjust enrichment taxes de- . creased $10,259,788.07 and receipts from social security taxes decreased $65,359,392.53 from the previous year.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 (U. P.) — Reliable sources said today that influential Congressmen will ask President Roosevelt to withdraw the nomination of former Rep. Thomas R. Amlie (Prog. Wis.) to the Inter-

WASHINGTON, ,Feb. 21 (U. P). —Chairman Wheeler (D. Mont.) of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee proposed abolition of railroad holding companies today as a major feature of impending railroad relief legislation. A comprehensive program of railroad relief and reform may be considered by the Committee within the next 10 days. Senator Wheeler said the plan would embody both relief measures for financial recovery and reforms to prevent recurrence. of abuses which he contended were partially responsible for the present plight of the railroads. “I think railroad holding companies should be abolished,” he said. “I would give them a reasonable {ime in which to liquidate. There may be some first degree holding concetns that can be justified, but generally speaking I see no reason for the existence of holding companies in the railroad field.”

Court to Be Proposed

Senator Wheeler already has introduced a bill that would give the Inierstate Commerce Commission supervisory authority over the spending of railroad funds for other than strictly carrier purposes. : A measure may be offered this week for the creation of a special threejudge court to handle railroad bankruptcies.. Many Government officials interested in rail legislation favor the plan, and Senator Wheeler has consented to go along with it as part of the general program. It was understood that Senator Wheeler accepted responsibility for the legislation only: on condition that the White House would support him. He enlisted an ardent New* Dealer—Senator Truman (D. Mo.)—as a cosponsor.

Hatch Committee

Studies Job Pressure WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 (U. P.).— Senator Hatch (D. N. M.), chairman of a Senate Committee created to draft legislation to protect Federal workers. and funds from political pressure, today urged a complete revision of corrupt practices statutes. The Hatch group, a subcommit_|tee of the Privileges and Elections

Committee, received a comprehensive survey of existing statutes and also three proposals for revisions drafted as a result of politics-in-relief charges in the last Congressional election. : Chairman Sheppard (D. Tex.) of _|the Senate Campaign Expenditures Investigating Committee which criticized the use of Federal funds for political purposes, has been invited to confer with the group. The Committee, comprised of Senators Hatch, Minton (D. Ind), Green (D. R. 1), Austin (R. Vt.) and Nye (R. N. D.), expected to receive the legislative recommenda-

House to Debate Guam Defense for Six Hours Today.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 (U. P). —Congress pushed President Roosevelt'’s emergency defense program nearer final action today as Administration supporters and opponents clashed again over New Deal foreign policy. The House beging general debate at noon legislation authorizing new plane and naval bases; the Senate Military Affairs Committee continues its study of a bill to increase Army air strength to 5500 planes. Chairman Pittman (D. Nev.) of the Senate Foreign Relations Com-

mittee = defended the President’s

foreign policy last night in a radio address, and charged that Germany, Italy and Japan were preparing for domination of Latin America as well as of all Europe and Asia. “Americans are not afraid to die for Christianity, morality, justice and liberty,” he said. The intent of the dictator nations “to dominate the world is. evident to any unbiased thinking person,” he said, urging *“whole-hearted” support of Mr. Roosevelt's pr m to aid the democracies against“the dictators.

Munich ‘Loss’ Recalled

In an address before the National Aviation Forum, Assistant War Secretary Louis Johnson called for an air force capable of “protecting our hemisphere on all fronts at any time.” He said that this country must arm to meet the threats of nations which are building huge air forces “to terrorize and to attack peaceful neighbors. “Is there anyone anywhere. so naive in his understanding of the significance of the Munich pact that he does not realize the price paid by those nations (Great Britain and France) which neglected their air defenses?” he ‘asked.

Bridges Raps Administration

Senator Bridges (R. N. H.) in another radio address, attacked the Administration’s defense program and’ charged that the President “has brought us close to the brink of war.” He accused the Administration of “mislaying” the traditional policy of peace .and said the re-estab-lishment of this ideal “is the crying need of the generation.” = Major debate in the House on the Vinson bill, authorizing 53 million dollars for construction of naval air bases, was expected on a provision of five million dollars for harbor work on the island of Guam, only 1400 miles from Japan. Republicans are opposed to any attempt to prepare for fortification of that 1sland, contending it would unnecessarily offend Japan. The authorization for Guam would include no fortifications. Six hours has been allotted for general debate. House leaders hoped to get final action on it Wednesday.

Times Photo. in a Court

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—The first real skirmish for delegates to the 1940 Democratic convention has operied on the windy prairies of Iowa, with two Cabinet members vying for‘the preference of native state. Commerce Secretary Hopkins and “Agriculture Secretary Wallace are the rivals. Either would haye to control the Iowa delegation in to get consideration in the Pres dential sweepstakes, and the irony of the developing situation is that neither may get it. Senator Herring, ex-Governor, may grab the delegates for himself, to hold for developments. Secretary Wallace has just returned from Iowa, where he made a speech. Mr. Hopkins is on his way to Iowa today for a visit which will have its climax Friday when he speaks over a nation-wide hookup from Des Moines. This pronouncement is awaited with keen interest for two reasons; first, because it will be the Secretary’s first public statement of his attitude toward business in his new role, and second, because on this «nd other matters he is expected to lay down the general philosophy on which he ‘will base his bid for*the Presidency.

Reception Planned

While in Iowa, he is expected to do considerable politicking. He is not going for a one-night stand but will be warming up for several days around the prairie fires. He left Washington last might for Grinnel, Iowa, town where he attended college. The Chamber of Commerce there plans a reception for him tonight. Interest was aroused in Washington by a dispatch in which George A. Birmingham, Democratic state chairman, was quoted as saying he had already talked with. Mr. Hopkins about lining up Iowa delegates for 1940 and talked also about getting a $9000 job here as head of the Bureau of Fisheries. This post, recently vacated, is in the Commerce Department. “Any discussion of the 1940 delegation. is premature,” commanted Senator Herring. Mr. Birmingham is a Herring man. The Senator is the dominant factor now in Iowa Democratic politics. ! The inference drawn here is that Senator Herring has made no commitments, that he does not look favorably on the Hopkins candidacy, at least at this stage, and that the Birmingham statement should not be taken seriously. Not in recent years has Iowa seftt an instructed delegation to a Democratic convention. The other. Iowa Senator, Mr. Gillette, may have much to do with Mr, Hopkins’ aspirations in Iowa. He was the target of last year’s “purge” movement in which Mr. Hopkins, then WPA administrator, sought to swing the primary elections to Rep. Otha D. Wearin. Senator Gillete , easily defeated the former House member, but skinned through very narrowly in November

The Commerce Secretary begins his try for the nomination with the apparent blessing of President Roosevelt. Inside New Dealers effected his transfer from WPA to the Cabinet as a means of boosting his stock for 1940.

Secretary Waliace, once regarded as the certain choice of the 1940

T0 COMPROMISE

BATTLE ON BILLS

{Prepare to Offer’ Peace

Plans to Avoid Deadlock.

As Republican Representatives today continued their threat to

withhold action on the 84-million-dollar biennial budget until Democratic Senators approved three G. O. P.-sponsored bills, Democratic leaders prepared to offer. compromises.

The bills, which have passed the

House and upon which the Republlicans are demanding favorable

Senate action would: 1. Abolish beer importers and re-

“| move restrictions on the number of

beer wholesalers. This bill also would fix flat midnight closing provisions for small cities. 2. Provide a new basis for distributing State-collected gasoline

cal governmental units. As it passed the House, this measure would reduce the funds available to the State Highway Commission by $4,000,000 annually, increase the dis-

| tribution to cities and towns from ‘1 $2,000,000. to $2,500,000, and stop the

diversion of $1,250,000 gasoline and motor vehicle funds to the State General Fund. Co) 3. Reduce the gross income tax rate for retailers from 1 per cent to one-half of 1 per cent and cut exemptions for this class from $3000 to $1000. : Governor Townsend conferred yesterday with Democratic Senate leaders and a delegation of Republicans on G. O. P. demands and the possible compromises. that would avoid a complete deadlock of this session. : Republicans who conferred with the Governor were Reps. C. Y. Foster (R. Carmel), Frank T. Millis (R. Campbellsburg), Hobart Creighton (R. Warsaw) and J. Frank Smith (R. Lafayette). These Representativse said they did not demand that the Markland Bill be passed in its present form, but they insisted on abolition of the beer importer system and removal of the limit on the number of beer wholesalers. This bill has been amended in the Senate and advanced to second reading. It was reported today that Democratic Senators probably would capitulate on the two points of liquor reform demanded by the G. O. P. representatives who -told the Governor that they could not tolerate continuation of the present beer-politics tieup which results in large contributions fo Democratic campaign funds. a The Administration reportedly was putting up much stiffer opposition to the gasoline tax redistribution bill. Democratic Senators said this bill in its present form “would wreck the State Highway Commission.” . A special subcommittee composed of Senators .John Bright Webb (D. Indianapolis), Arthur L. Deniston- (D. Rochester) and Charles R. Morris (D. Salem) has been chosen by Democratic Senators to work out a. compromise

This fund is used in cases of special emergency such as floods, ete. A 10 per cent decrease down to $869,400 in the equipment appropriations for State institutions was approved by the Committee.
