SENATE FINANCE
GROUP IS NEAR
TAX BILL ACCORD
MEASURE MAY BE REPORT
ED OUT LATE THIS
AFTERNOON
WASHINGTON, May 25 (TP).—
The senate finance committee drove
toward a final agreement today on
the administration's new tax bill.
Chairman Harrison said he expects
committee members to wind up argu
ments and rush their measure onto
the senate floor for quick action. The
bill may be reported out late today
or tomorrow.
Congressional leaders say both the
tax and deficiency appropriation
bills must be hurried along if the
session is to end in time for the Re
publican national convention early
next month. Althuogh both bills are
•till in senate committees, Demo
cratic leaders say adjournment is pos
sible by June 6. The deficiency bill
carries a billion and a half dollar
appropriation for the WPA.
Finance committee members are
trying to find another $60,000,000 in
new taxss to write into their bill.
The measure includes an 18 per cent
flat tax rate on corporations and a
seven per cent - supertax—but it is
stil short of the amount desired by
President Roosevelt. Chairman Har
rison indicated that the difference
may come by boosting estate taxes.
One sub committee group is consider
ing a one-half cent per pound proces
sing tax on sugar That levy, they
say, would bring in $66,000,000 a
year.

BELL COMMITTEE HEADS
STILL DEMAND ARREST
OF DOCTOR
WASHINGTON, May 23 (TP)—The
battle of news releases between Town
send officials and the Bell Congress
ional Committee continued In full

its mind as to what should be done

also said that the move had not been
planned in advance. Bell and his aids
eontend that Townsendltes planned to

promised that he would issue a state
ment giving the committee’s side of
the debate later in the day. No defin

Downey also wrote a letter to Bell
asking for a chance to present statis
tical data on the Townsend Plan be
for the committee. He challneged Cal
ifornia's Rep. Buck to a debate be
for the group. Downey has announced
he will oppose Buck for the Congress
ional nomination In California.
The lawyer’s letter to the committee
ended with a sarcastic note. He said:
"While I cannot hope you will be
returned to Congress, except Rep.
Collins and Tolan, I do hope, if you
are restored to public life you will be
blessed with good fortune and that
before you have reached the age of
sixty, an awakened Congress will have
provided generous social dividends so
that your last years may be crowned
by dignity and security.”

Democratic National Chairman James
Farley was described today as a
"Good Sportsmaster General.” The
description was made by E. Claude

cock's union of government workers
is affiliated with the American Fed

spoils system used by the Roosevelt
Administration would put the one
started by Andrew Jackson in 1830
to shame. President Jackson is cred
ited with staring the phrase—"To the
victor belongs the spoils."
Babcock claims that under Farley,
the Democratic party has created a
huge number of government jobs as
a means of buying votes. He declared
that the civil service act has been
completely ignored.
Members of Babcock's union organ
ization threaten to start a rebellion
against their leader because of the
