HOUSE to quibble over adding to record Agriculture bill,

WASHINGTON, June 22 (U.P) — Administration Senate leaders called up the new $1,644,300,000 tax bill today in an attempt to avert a filibuster on other “must” legislation. Laid aside temporarily was a bill extending Presidential monetary powers. A group of Western silver Senators, led by the two Nevada Democrats—Pittman and McCarran —has delayed action on it two days. The leaders hoped, but were uncertain, that the silver bloc would refrain from employing dilatory tactics on the new revenue bill, which was designed to answer business demands for tax relief. Provisions of both the monetary and tax bills expire June 30, but the leadership preferred to gamble with the monetary measure and make sure of getting the tax bill to President Roosevelt before the deadline. Should the tax legislation be scuttled, the Treasury would be faced with a $1,800,000 daily loss in revenue.

Thomas Talks for “Greenback”

The silver Senators, seeking to force the Administration to boost the Treasury price for domestically | mined silver, said little abqut their future plans. There were rumors, however, that they might try to exert additional pressure on the President and Treasury Secretary Morgenthau by threatening to filibuster the tax bill and possibly the $1,735,000,000 relief appropriation, which is scheduled for consideration

By CHARLES T.

Senator Hatch (D. N. M.), whose legislation has been bottled up since the Senate passed it two months ago, said that unless he is assured |

Senator Hatch’s bill would bar political activity by relief workers and all Federal employees except the President and Vice President. Cabinet members and assistants, and Congressmen and their staffs. It would be a permanent statute, rather than extending only one year. The Senator met today with three

Yarnell Orders Are Urgent

- Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, com-mander-in-chief of the U. S. Navy in the Far East, wirelessed Consul General Clarence E. Gauss at Shanghai urgent instructions to inform the Japanese Government that the United States would hold it responsible for the safety of Americans at Swatow and for any damage to American property. Admiral Yarnell was understood to have instructed Mr. Gauss to advise the Japanese Government that it was the policy of the United States to. send warships to any point where Amenjicans were in danger. Under that policy, he was understood to have told Consul Gauss to reject the Japanese ultimatum. Mr. Gauss at once entered into conference with Sir Herbert Phillips, British Consul General at Shanghai. He and Sir Herbert decided to draft separate notes rejecting the Japanese ultimatum. Japan first warned all forzigners to quit Swatow, which Japanese troops and sailor's captured yesterday, by 1 p. m. (11 p. m, yesterday Indianapolis Time). Then the Japanese Navy sent an abrupt ultimatum to all foreign warships to get out by the same hour,

In the harbor were the United [States destroyer Pillsbury, with its crew of approximately 122 officers and men; and the British destroyer Thanet with a crew of 98. The ultimatum hour passed.

emergency.”

Against ¢he monetary bill, the Westerners’ tactics were long speeches on monetary problems. Senator Elmer Thomas (D. Okla), born near Danville, Ind, talked nearly six hours yesterday outlining his program to raise price levels through issuance of ‘greenbacks.” He defined inflation as the issuance of irredeemable paper money, and said he was as much opposed to that as any other Senators. “There must be an adjustment of the value of the dollar to a point where the people can live,” he said. “They can't live on the present dollar. “Make no mistake about it—we're not out of this depression vet. The trouble is the price level is too low.”

La Follette Seeks Broad Base

Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Barkley (D. Ky.) hoped for the best and predicted that the Senate would pass the tax bill quickly. A similar forecast came from Chairman Harrison (D. Miss.) of the Finance Committee, floor manager of the bill. Senators Barkley and Harrison said the chief obstacle to quick passage would be the La Follette amendment broadening the income tax base. Senator Robert M. La Follette (Prog. Wis.), who has fought for his program whenever a revenue bill came up, advocated imposing a 4 per cent tax on net incomes of between $3000 and $4000, and lowering the personal exemption from $1000 to $800. Senator La Follette said his decision to offer the amendment at this time was not prompted by the President’s recent statement supporting proposals to broaden the

000 to Measure and Sends It to Senate.

WASHINGTON, June 22 (U. P.). —The House today restored $37 million dollars in funds for 1283 airplanes to its 292-million-dollar supplemental War Department appropriation. By a roll call vote of 217 to 150 it reversed action taken yesterday. The House then prsved the bill and sent it to the Senate. Altogether it provides funds for purchase of 2290 planes in 1940, for educational orders to indystry, and for strengthening the Panama Canal garrison. The disputed 37 million dollars had been eliminated yesterday as | the result of a Republican drive against the Army’s plan to create a “rotating reserve” of airplanes. The reserve would amount to 40 per cent of the eventual total strength, and would take 1283 of the 2290 planes

contemplated in the bill for 1940. The amendment was sponsored by Rep. D. Lane Powers (R. N. J), ranking minority member of the subcommittee in charge of the bill. Overnight Chairman J. Buell Snyder (D. Pa.) had mobilized Democrats absent yesterday in numbers sufficient to rout the Republican sortie. The Republicans argued that there was no immediate emergency requiring a reserve, and that the Army would benefit by delaying purchase of reserve planes to get

the benefit to new technological developments.

He moved into New York state where he hoed beans for a summer and called it the poorest fun he ever had. From New York he decided to go West. He worked for short periods in Ohio and Illinois before going to St. Louis where he went to work learning the printing trade. It was during the hot summer days when he operated a job press

poetic expression. He sent a poem [to the St. Louis Hornet, a humor magazine, and it was published. The |editor offered him a job sweeping the office, reading proofs, and incidentally writing poetry—all for $5 a week. When the Hornet folded he crossed Missouri into Kansas. As result of an accident his hearing was defective and this caused considerable apprehension on the part of Edgar Howe, editor of the Atchison Globe, who first hired him for active newspaper work.

Met Bryan in Omaha

He left the ‘Globe after a few years and went to work for the Omaha World Herald where he met William Jennings Bryan. In 1892 when a new paper was started in Washington, D. C.,, Mr. Bryan talked the publisher into hiring Mr. Mason. While working for the Washington paper he came to know the prominent politicians of the day. After the turn of the century Mr. Mason went to Emporia, Kas, where he started to write his syndi=cated poems under the heading of “Rippling Rhymes.” Among his more famous poems was the “Little Green Tents” written in honor of Decoration Day. The poem, hammered out in the noise of the Gazette office in 15 minutes, swept round the world and for years dotted front pages on Decoration Day. In later years Mr. Mason and his wife, the former Ella Foss of Wooster, O.,, whom he married in 1893, resided here. They had no children but a few years ago they adopted a daughter, whom they named Mary Mason. \

MINOR ITEMS BASIS OF FARM BILL FIGHT

WASHINGTON, June 22 (U. P). —The House was ready today to quibble over adding a few million dollars to a record Agriculture Department appropriation for 1940 already nearly $300,000,000 above President Roosevelt's budget estimates. The bill will come up in the form of a conference report as soon as the House disposes of a supplemental War Department appropriation. Although the House originally adhered closely to Mr. Roosevelt's recommendations, the Senate added more than $338,000,000 in unbudgeted items. House leaders agreed to accept the Senate additions in conference. The two big increases by the Senate consisted of $225,000,000 for parity payments and $113,000,000 for disposal of surplus agricultural commodities. The fight today, however, was on small items: (1) A Senate addition of $300,000 for the Agriculture Department's extension service; (2) a Senate increase of the appropriation for wildlife conservation from $1,500,000, to $2,000,000,

{and 3) a Senate amendment ap-

Troops Stand By

Machinegunners of the British Middlesex Regiment, at Hongkong, received emergency orders to be ready by tonight to leave for a secret destination, believed to be either Swatow or Tientsin, Dispatches from Singapore said that troops of the Loyal Regiment were standing by for orders to sail. Admiral Yarnell had left Tientsin for Chinwangtao yesterday to board his flagship, the cruiser Augusta. He was ready to sail for the theater of action in the south. At Tientsin a food shortage became suddenly acute. British Army headquarters announced that unless the Japanese permitted adequate suoplies to enter, they were prepared to send a formal military expedition out after them.

British Follow U. S.

Authoritative American and British sources at Shanghai indicated that if the Amoy blockade was adhere to, warships would be sent to run the blockade. But the situation at Swgtow was the most serious. The first Japanese order to foreigners to get out was sent to ioreign consuls there. It said that the Japanese could not guarantee safety of foreigners after 1 p. m. The United States Consul informed the Japanese that he would refer the ultimatum to the State Department at Washington. The British Consul sent his notification to the British Embassy at Shanghai and added that he was planning to evacuate all Britons. Back from Shanghai went orders to the British Consul to “reconsider” his decision and to refuse to evacuate Britons unless he was convinced their lives were in actual danger. The message added, however, that no Briton who wished to leave should be dissuaded from doing so.

40 Americans Remain

The Norwegian merchantman Prominent left Swatow just at the ultimatum hour with 70 foreign women and children, sailing for Hongkong. But about 40 Americans and hundreds of Britons and other foreigners remained for the showdown. Here at Tientsin, British authorities received news that G. A. Smith, a British importer whom the Japanese arrested Saturday, had been hit on the head with a pistol and that the Japanese Army had refused to permit him to have the wound dressed. Under their considered policy of inflicting indignities on British c¢itizens, the Japanese today stripped five Britons at their International Bridge barrier outside the British Concession. Belgians and Frenchmen who passed at the same time were unmolested.

Officers Conferring

SINGAPORE, June 22 (U. P).— Sixty high officers of the British and French Armies, Navies and Air Forces started an unprecedented urgent conference to da on the Japanese ultimatum to foreign warships to get out of Swatow Harbor. The conference had been called here at Great Britain's great naval base, called the Gibraltar of the East, to consider general strategy as regards Far Eastern defense. News of the Japanese ultimatum, and of the increasingly serious Japanese blockades at Kulangsu and Tientsin, turned the conference into one of emergency. Meeting under heavy guard at the Tang-lin barracks in extraordinary secrecy, the defense chieftains received dispatches from China al-

She made the dress and the small, black bonnet, she said, especially for the trip here. ” ” ” S the convention opened, there was considerable confusion at all doors as the ushers attempted to sort the voting delegates from the visiting delegates. While this was going on, a community sing led by amplified records added to the turmoil. Dotted all over the audience and waved on the slightest provocation were placards bearing the legend “We have just begun to fight.” At the foot of the rostrum was an elaborate recording device to transcribe the entire proceedings on to wax records.
