VOLUME 2—NUMBER 144 BREAK IS EXPECTED ON TAX BILL JAM ‘SOMETIME’ TODAY RETURN OF ROOSEVELT SPURS OPTIMISM; DEAD LOCK STILL HOLDS , WASHINGTON, June 16 (TP).— The optimistic report that the tax bill deadlock is due to crack today was circulated In Washington this morning. Just what gave rise to these rosy predictions was difficult to deter mine. However, It is generally felt that President Roosevelt’s return to Washington had something to do with the new surge of hope that the tax bill tangle will be settled before nightfall. Still In Deadlock The bill is now in committee, with neither the senate or house confer ees .thus far, having budged an inch. The house tax bill calls for high cor porate surplus taxes. The senate measure ignores this method of .reve nue. There the tax matter stands. The conferees will meet today in another effort to reach an agree ment and pave the way for adjourn ment on or before Saturday. This possibility, however, was regarded as still doubtful in view of the fact that several Republican senators have warned the conferees that they will stage filibusters if the high corporate surplus tax idea is inserted In the senate bill. Unless the house yields on that question, the bill either faces a deadlock or runs the risk of start ing a filibuster that would delay ad journment for days. Last Minute Rush The annual last minute rush has things flying in the House of Repre sentatives today. The house la clearing its calendar of everything which can be cleat id. preparatory to a final report on the deadlocked tax bill. The house wants to clean its slate so that, when the tax tangle finally is straightened out, the congressmen can say “goodbye” tp Washington, hop the next train knd head for some place else. . Another night session is scheduled for house tonight. In last evening’s meeting, the lower chamber disposed of a flood of bills—mostly unimpor tant sectional bills which were bound to attract no debate and which went rattling through with a voice vote. The 11,425,000,000 relief appropria tion bill is due to be settled in con ference today and appears likely to be accepted immediately by the house. The chain store bill, the Wagner housing bill, the New Guf fey coal bill and the anti-lobby bill are others which are still hanging fire, either in conference or in the senate. terroTcult has DAY IN COURT BLACK LEGION PROBE SWINGS UNDER WAY BEFORE JURY DETROIT, Mich., June 16 (TP).— The probe of Black Legion activities wil Ibe resumed today when 11 Black Legionaires accused of plotting the death of a Highland Park publisher will be marched into court.
