WASHINGTON. May 17 (U. PO)! —Congressional advocates of tax revision sought today to obtain Sen. | ate, House and Treasury agreement on a specific program before pro- |

Their objective was passage of | tax changes without delaying ad- | journment of Congress, They hoped to enact the program with President Rosevelt's approval, but were prepared to go ahead, regardless, | { Mr. Roosevelt, who earlier an- | nounced opposition to general tax | [revision and found fault with seve (eral of the proposed changes under discussion, said at his press con ‘ference yesterday that progress had been made toward a plan, and that further discussion would be held. | There if no assurance that there [will be an administration-sponsored tax program, he said, however,

But Congressional farm bloe sources re ported another conversation in which he intimated that he might veto the bill if farm subsidy items were neither removed nor comple mented with self-supporting taxes. Current at the Capitol was an apparently reliable report Mr Roosevelt had indicated that a low-| (fering of personal income tax ex- ¥ o &

Take Maxine King, 21. of Flora {for instance, She remembers that when she came to Methodist Hose pital three vears ago her chief im pression was, “My, what a big place.” Now her chief impression is the skill and the infinite good that come of surgery in a busy hospital. She liked surgery best of all, she said. in spite of the fact that in the operating rooms nurses must be their most perfect,

“There's no place for a mistake in surgery,” she said And she may go on and specialize in it Miss Ruth Fisher, 22. Monticello, has a notion that, after some hospital staff nursing, she will return and take postgraduate work in obstetrics. She entered nursing because it seemed to her that was the best way she could be of service to society, “I like nursing because I get out of it a satisfaction of having accomplished something for others” she says, She said she might postgraduate work in things work out right. Algerna Ketcham, 21, Odon, is undecided about what she will do when she leaves Methodist Hospital, but if she continues in nursing she will take up pediatrics as a specialty,
