I
WASHINGTON. D. C.. May 26,—
A Congressional revolt against im
posing higher income taxes when
some of the country’s wealthier j

periled the Roosevelt public works

Spurred to plugging tax law
hole revelations in the Morgan in- j
quiry, and especially the astound- ;
ing fact that the partners and
firm had paid no income tax dur
ng the two hardest years of the
depression, yet paid tax incomes
in England, a stream of protests
from “back home” upon a Con
gress. already up in the air. reach
ed the highest tensity.
The public works industrial con- j
trol bill is n the House awaiting
passage. It carries the highly oner
ous schedule of high income taxes.;
With a group opposing suspend
ing anti-trust laws, necessary to
the industrial program for com
binations to boost prices, cut pro
duction, raise wages, the bill is
facing the stiffest opposition yet
faced by any bill of the present
administration.

GENEVA ARMS PARLEY
SPLIT WIDE OPEN ON
TWO VITAL ISSOES
GENEVA, May 26. —The Gene
va disarmament coherence was
split wide open as th? great pow
ers divided into diametrically i
apposite sides on two vital issues—;
armaments and securities.
First, France and Japan assault- I
ed the Washington and London j
Naval treaties, to the defense of
which rushed Great Britain, the
United States and Italy. .
Second, Great Britain emphat
ically opposed any attempt by
Russia and France and the lat
ter’s allies to force the conference
to accept the rigid definition of an
‘aggressor” which Paris demands
as the basis for “security guar
antees.”
Here Italy and Germany backed !
the British view, which is alteo the 1
American doctrine, although Nor- j
man H. Davis, ambassador-at-1
large, did not speak.
Third, The third feature ofs the
day’s developments in the general
committee was the abortive at
tempt of Sir John Simon, British
foreign secretary, to fly to Paris J
to see Premier Daladier in anoth- j
er desparate effort to induce j
France to agree to reduce her of
fensive armaments and to accept
i modified version of the Musso
lini “four power pact” project
among Britain, Italy, Germany and
France.

of armament.
It was emphasized that the
5-5-3 Naval ratio must stand
throughout the life of the treaties,
which expires in 1936.

LOCAL WATERFRONT
OF CHI mm
Seward’s waterfront took on the
atmosphere of a great seaport last
night when the Alaska S. S. Co.
liner Aleutian nosed up to the
government dock to occupy what
space was left by the USS Dis
coverer.
Capt. Heinie Berger found things
too crowded for his Cook Inlet
liner the MS Discoverer, and mov
ed over to the cannery dock.
Over at the Standard Oil dock
the converted former USS Cable
ship Dellwood, owned by P. E. Har
ris, prominent Alaska salmon
packer, extended the line of littor
al to the limits of the berthing
space in the western bight.
This left only the floating stage
for small craft with the Flamo
berthed to the piling, and the
“Putt- ’n Scoot.” skippered by
Monsieur Clarence Larson, inside
the float. The ‘Sub’ Cauliflower
was out ’o sight.
To make it a full house. Pilot
Arthur Woodley moored his big
modern radio-equipped Bellanca
plane to the outer bulkhead of
the float.
Today the staunch old MS Bcx
: er. creosote tie laden, and the SS
| Redondo of the A. S. S. Co.,>are
due. The last berthing space is the
| San Juan cold storage dock, up
; the bay.
To create something akin to a
grand slam of transportation, two
additional airplanes dipped into
the shelter harbor, remained for
dinner and sped away to the In
terior to beat a rainstorm which
bore down early in the evening.
As if there was not enough astir
above and below. Pilot Art Wood
ley, with five passengers, went joy
riding out to Prince William
j Sound, to get a glimpse of the
i majestic Aleutian reported due to
I arrive, or any other liners making
| for port.
En route the MS Discoverer was
; sighted from the air. Thru the
j drizzle of rain it magnified itself
j into a great liner, and the joy
I riders turned back, to later see
' the little Discoverer “putt-putting”
j with her diesel up to the dock and
| Captain Berger’s chest expanded
like a pouter pigeon with its young
for having been mistaken for the
big ocean greyhound.
REACTION SETS IN
