H In a new effort to fill in the gaps between governmental income and outgo, the senate voted another in- crease in income taxes. Shortly after Secretary Mills had told its finance committee the revenue {bill as it now stands would raise $840,- | 000,000 and that $1,125,000,000 would | be needed, the Connally amendment ; was approved. It was estimated this would bring in upward of $70,000,000. ‘The amendment provides for normal taxes of four per cent on the first $4,- 000 income and eight per cent on in- come above $4,000 with a surtax grad- uating to a maximum of 55 per cent ‘on income in excess of $1,000,000. Asks Gasoline Tax Secretary Mills recommended to the finance committee a gasoline tax esti- mated to yield $150,000,000 and return to the lower exemption of 10 cents on admissions that he formerly proposed. Restoration of the lower admission exemption, ‘he said, would yield $55,- 000,000, making a total from the two proposals of $205,000,000.

S. and Dollar is Dis- counted Abroad Washington, May 31—(#)—A broade ening of the special sales taxes pro- Posed in the revenue bill, but without resort to a general tax on all sales, was urged on the senate Tuesday by President Hoover. Speaking in the senate chamber in an atmosphere vibrant with the pres- ence of vast public uncertainties, Hoo- ver declared an “emergency” demands juick action. Within a half hour after Hoover had endorsed the special manufac- tures sales tax, however, the senate finance committee again rejected it, The vote was 12 to 8. The committee approved a cent a gallon tax on gasoline estimated to yield $150,000,000 of the $215,000,000 it was seeking. . The president spoke of the deple-~ tion of gold reserves, and of appre- hension at home and abroad that the government might not be able to bal- ance its budget and meet its obliga- tions. “In order to solve the problem and show that we are ready to meet our obligations,” he said, “I have come to favor a more general manufacturers excise tax.” « Was Surprise Move The president's appearance before the senate was a surprise move after several days and nights of conferences with congressional leaders.

Police were stoned and retaliated with their pistols, -wounding a woman ‘Three policemen were injured and six demonstrators arrested. } The prospect of the rise of Hitler's) Fascism to power brought a storm of protest from the Communists. The general committee of the party issued a communique declaring the Fascist course of the coming government con- stituted a menace to the Soviet; Union. i Bruening Needs Rest } The newspapers had agreed Von} Hindenburg was likely to seek a ca- binet made un of substantial figures, devoid, as far as possible, of political | complexion.

The chancellor's health has noi been good for some time. He has | suffered several heart attacks. Hitler conferred with the president for more than an hour Monday night | discussing pressing national prob- lemz. i Many reasons were assigned for the resignation of the Bruening .cab- inet, only a short time after it had received a fresh vote of confidence from the Reichstag. Chief. among them was the president's imptessior. that the Socialist-Centrist’ coalition of Dr. Bruening no. represente? the will of the people and his report- ed conviction that the army oa not support the government in case of an uprising. i The novelty of the present situation lies in the fact that the cabinet was forced out by the president, while the | Reichstag usually has exercised tha: | prerogative.

He conferred at the white bouse and the capitol, promised to call again next. week, and parried all questions on the controversial plat- form issues, such as prohibition, with | nothing more than a smile. Son of the president who was as- sassinated in 1881, Garfield was po- litically active in the Progressive! wing of the party up to 1912 when, after leading in Theodore Roosevelt's Bull Moose split, he retired to private life. He.was secretary of the interior under Roosevelt and has stuck fast to) that president's policies. He has never made a public state-| ment on prohibition, which now | promises to be the knottiest problem for the convention. Whatever his views, he will meet with Senator) Borah next week and Borah has; drawn up an undisclosed prohibition Plank. His views are notably dry. Borah, by conferring Monday with the president for a second time in recent days, started a new whirl of speculation. A little later he: re- ceived Mrs. Henry W. Peabody, chair- man of the Women's National Com-! mittee for Law Enforcement, who) afterwards said the senator “agreed | with me that the voice of the people is in congress and that other mat- ters do not concern us deeply.” ‘LIBERAL’ PROHIBITION PLANK IS FORECAST Washington, May 31.—(4)—Repre- sentative Snell, minority leader in the house, Tuesday told newspapermen he was certain the prohibition plank in the Republican platform would be “liberal.” Snell said he was expressing a per- sonal opinion but that “if anybody tells you the plank won't be liberal, don’t believe them.” Asked what he meant by “liberal,” Snell, who has consistently supported dry measures, said it would be “satis- factory.” He did not explain further.

The amount of only one payment which the mayor last week identified as having been paid with his author- ity out of the proceeds of his joint ac- count with Paul Block, publisher. It was said the unnamed persons voice that failed to carry into the far corners of the gallery. He was ap- plauded as he finjshed. As he returned to the white house, the senate finance committee went into special session. ‘The message was the first Hoover had delivered in person to congress since his election At the white house, no one could recall another communication by oth- er presidents under similar circum- stances. Harding, Wilson and Cool- idge delivered messages to congress in Person but the fact they would do so was known several days in advance. Spurred to the extraordinary step of appearing personally by the situa- tion facing the country and the gov- ernment, he told the senate “there can be no doubt that long continued delay in enactment of legislation to reduce expenditures and provide revenue has given rise to anxiety in ability of gov- ernment to meet its duty.” “These fears and doubts have had an influence in foreign countries,” he said. “They know by experience the force of an unbalanced budget. They do not realize that as slow as the pro- cesses may be, we are determined to place the finances of the government, on a firm basis.” Atmosphere Is Subdued The legislators hung on his every word, in an atmosphere that was markedly subdued in contrast with the stormy days of debate of late. Only a while before the senate had evinced a determination to raise ade- quate taxes, this time by stepping up income levies to the 1921 level. In days just gone, President Hoov- er emphasized. American gold re- serves have depreciated and the dol- lar has been discounted abroad. “This must be stopped or there will be great losses to the people of the U. 8. that will still further retard recovery,” he said. The gravity with which Hoover ap- proached his subject was shown in the low tones with which he spoke. Those in the galleries had difficulty in hearing him. He was dressed in formal morning attire. The senate chamber was packed, with the exception of the diplomatic gallery. More than half the house members lined the walls and listened as in- ner remained in the house. Many of the audience leaned -for- ward in their seats and cupped hands over ears to hear better.
