RIFT IS FORESEEN
BY PARTY HEADS
IN NEW TAX BILL
AMENDMENTS TO LEGIS
LATION CAUSE OF
DISSENSION
WASHINGTON, June 10 (TP).—
Clashing views on what should be
written Into the new tax bill occupied
the attention of house and senate
conferees today. They’re meeting aft
er an intensive study by the house
conferees yesterday of the compro
mise bill to raise $829,000,000 In reve
nue.
Fresh from their study of the 289
amendments put Into their or | nal
bill by the senate, the house mem
bers have given indication of com
promise on most of them. But on
the major point—suggested and back
ed by President Roosevelt —of stiff,
entirely new taxes on the undistribut
ed Incomes of corporations they in
tend to remain firm.
The house measure calls for a
graduated tax up to 42 per cent on
the undistributed Incomes. The sen
ate bill would retain some of the pres
ent taxes and add a straight seven
per cent tax on undistributed income.
The conferees from both houses,
however, are expected to make big
concessions in the rush toward ad
journment. The Republican repre
sentative Crowther of New York,
holding the proxies of the other Re
publican conferees who have gone on

Possibility that the leg on was re

Coughlin.
The woman is Mrs. Margaret

questioning Mrs. O’Rourke to find out

“Bonus payments will prime all busi

nation that the money will be dis
tributed exactly as the army and navy

The huge improvement in business
conditions was for?seen from the un

The treasury is borrowing money

RALEIGH. N. C., June 10 (TP).—
Clyde R. Hoey and Ralph W. McDon
aid have already begun their cam
paigns to win the favor of North
Carolina’s Democratic voters for
their run off primary July 4.
The two men outdistanced a field
of four in the first primary last Sat
urday. Hoey was given a slight mar
gin over McDonald in an election
which brought out the largest Demo
cratic vote on record in the state.
However, no candidate received a
majority of the more than 470,000
votes cast.
McDon ald-'ar supporters say he will
bring forth his liquor control plan as
a main plank in his platform. The
plan calls for local option on county
controlled liquor stores.
Just what effect it will have on
the race is unknown. But it is sure
to gain many wet votes. Roughly
there are 130,000 votes which were
cast for the two low men in the four
man race. These votes, hanging in
the balance, will determine whether
Hoey t or McDonald will be North
Carolina’s next governor.
Hoey is a life-long dry. Neverthe
les, he has declared he will submit
to a state wide referendum on the
liquor situation.

SEES AMERICA HEADED
FOR COMMUNISM UN
DER ROOSEVELT
CLEVELAND. June 10 (TP)
Bertrand Snell of New York, repre
sentative of eastern conservatism,
called o$ th? Republican party today
to lead the country back to “sanity
and safety.”
The veteran old guard minority
leader in the house of representatives
with cold and bitter phrases, declared
that America is headed straight for
a communist dictatorship under
Roosevelt.
"This year,” Snell said, “the Re
publican party is not contending
against the Democratic party as such.
It offers to lead America against the
unconstitutional dictatorship—yes, the
arrogant individualism of Franklin
Delano Roosevelt. For nearly four
years,” Snell continued, "America has
floundered in the grotesque failures
of the New Deal. Every dollar of our
currency advertises the shame of its
debasement. L:t us begin our march
to r -ity and safety. We shall need
the senices of constitutional Demo
crats and Republicans alike.”
This invitation to the Democrats
to desert their party for the Repub
lican standard brought a round of ap
plause from the convention floor.
Snell continued with an attack on
every measure and every consequence
of the N<w Deal. He charged the
Roosevelt administration with wast,
with extravagance, with corruption
and broken promises.
"But overshadowing all these grave
assaults upon the liberties of the
people,” Snell declared, “is the presi
dent's personal affection for a gov
ernment-dictated collectivist order.”

The 210 pound male guard for the

calm and contented today.
But last night as soon as his guard
left the room, he crumpled the
screens of his window’s and darted out
to the frercom of the hospital
grounds, clad only in pajamas and
bathrobe. He didn’t go very far, mere
ly wandered around the grounds and
engaged passers-by in conversation,
but he attracted so much attention
from other inmates that guards had
to go and capture him after a merry
half-hour chase.
He promised not to try to break

ROBERTS HINTED AS ‘DARK HORSE’
CONVENTION RUMORS ALSO CLAIM THAT HOOVER HAS
TURNED RADICAL ON MONETARY PLANK AND
HAS.TIED UP WITH FATHER COUGHLIN,
1
By LESLIE EICHEL
CLEVELAND, June 10—At no other
convention have rumors flown so
thlclt and fast. At no other convention
has it been more difficult to track
down rumors—for conferences have
been held in some instances 120 city
blocks apart. Even farther —miles out,
at estates far, far out.
It was from such an estate that a
rumor came which electrified the
convention delegates—that Justice
Owen J. Roberts of the U. S. Su
preme Court would be agreed upon
as the "dark horse”. It seemed ab
surd, with Governor Alfred M. Lan
don of Kansas so far in the lead.
But—according to the rumor—for
mer President Herbert Hoover would
stop off in outlying Sandusky, 0., on
Lake Erie, to consult with Col. Frank
Knox. And Mr. Hoover would con
vince Mr. Knox to drop out and to
unite in favor of Justice Roberts.
A sweet morsel! But wait till you
hear the next.
Hoover a adical?
The next had Mr. Hoover suddenly
turned radical on the monetary plank.
He would, according to this rumor,
declare lor a central government
bank—and tie In generally with the
Father Coughlinites.
Furthermore, he would charge in
his speech before the Cleveland con
vention that it was the bankers who
gave him “a ride” in 1932. And now
he would give the bankers “a ride”.
In short, the new Hoover would be
scmethlng apart from the old Hoov
er.
• An amazing picture!
It is no wone’er the delegates have
appeared bewildered. They no sooner
have begun cLee.-mg somebody thuc.
their hero has teen switched-by a

It must be said of the Landon peo
ple, however, the honest-to-goocness
Landon people, that they have stood
steadfast. They have had midwest
em deggedness.
But Borah supporters have been
up hill and down dale over his against
and for, or stop and go policy as to
candidates. Os course, it is his idea
to be an influence—but that has been
hard on cheering supporters.

CLEVELAND, June 10 (TP)—This
is Herbert Hoover’s day at hte Re
publican National Convention. The
white-haired ex-President titular
leader of his party—reached the Con
vention City this morning in high
spirits.
A throng of several thousand ad
mirers was on hand to greet him.
Hoover beamed with satisfaction at
the welcome they gave him, but he
waved questioners aside. He had
nothing to say at this moment, he
said. About the candidates or other
matters before the convention. He will
address the convention V night at 8
o’clock E. S. T.—the only guest speak
er invited to state his views.
At the train to meet Hoover was
a small army of former officials in
his administration. They crowded
around him eagerly, shaking his hand.
Former War Secretary Pat Hurley of
Oklahoma, ex-Secretary of Agricul
ture Arthur M. Hyde of Missouri, ono
time Postmaster General Walter S.
Brown, Ogden Mills, Henry Fletcher,
Hoover’s old secretaries, Lawrence
Richey and George Akerson, and
many others were there.
Parade Leads Hoover
Someone carried an American, flag
at the head of the procession which
led the 31st President from the sta
tion to his hotel. There was no brass
band to greet him, but Hoover’® broad
smile plainly showed his satisfaction
at the warmth of the welcome. It
was different at the convention of
1932, when he was up for renomina
tion. At that convention he had sunk
to the lowest level of his popularity.
• The party would not even exhibit his
- picture in the convention hall, and
the keynote speaker did not mention
. his name.
It was a different Hoover that ar
rived today for the Cleveland con
vention. And it’s safe to say that,
when he mounts the rostrum tonight
a to make his speech, the crowd will
’ give him a welcoming roar of ap-'
plause.
„ Pennsylvania’s big: delegation wted
j today to pass 49 votes for Landon and
t 13 for Senator Borah—of which eight
may be thrown into Landon after the
V first ballot. Senator Vandenberg of
1 Michigan got one Pennsylvania vote
. and Senator Lester Dickinson of lowa
three. Some of the 75 delegates were
missing and others didn’t vote.
It was a clear cut victory for the
,- Landonites. The work of drafting the

fer with Senator Borah.
They tried all night and this morn
