June 25.— Presidential criticism, which sounded like a veto threat, conferees of the House and Senate pitched in today te harmonize the widely dif- fering relief plans of their respective branches, with in- dications pointing to a long struggle, and with adjourn- W Under ment pointing to a week from | today. The House group obviously in- tended to stick out for everything it could get out of the original Garner plan including $2,200,000,000 | public works program financed by a bond issue. Equally obviously is the lmem of the Senators in carrying a smaller construction program in the Wagner bill, involving only one | half a billion in bonds with an overall total. “Pork Barrel” President Hoover was outspoken erday in opposition to both| ects again labeling them “pork barrel.” He expressed the hope the conferees will remove these would unbalance the Budget all over again and do more harm than good. Congressional does not favor Hoover’s hope. make-up of the conference commit- outlook, however, tee showed an overwhelming senti- | ment for bonds as a central part/ of the relief program. GERMANS FAGE HEAVIEST TAX BERLIN, June 25.—1he heavies t burden ever carried by the German people has been when President Paul von Hinden- burg wrote his name at the bot- tom of a sweeping emergency de- submitted to him by his new Chancellor, Franz von Papen. very German with a job is re-' ed to pay a tax on it under 1 new regulation. Every chaser of salt will contribute his mite to the government through a new levy. And on the other side of the| ledger the government’s dole to the unemployed and the war-maim- ed was materially slashed. A peculiar feature of the taxa- tion burden is the fact it was im- posed by emergency decree. It was the president’s objection to the “emergency decree government” of former Chancellor Henrich Bruen- | ; that was largely responsible for | Dr. Breuning’s downfall. Now the °d field marshal has signed the most drastic of all decrees. ‘The new ministry asserted in a public statement that the drastic| taxation was made necessary by the problems from the Bruening, regime. e Long Beach, Cal., has the largest bathing beach on the Pacific Coas.

Franklin D. Roosevelt’s momentous drive for nomination. 2 The chieftains are doing their utmost to lineup ballots to obtain an accurate tabula- tion with which to guage the doubtful outcome. Vital Disputes There are three vital pending disputes for the nomination f; s the Tight 't Tay the two-thirds rule. Another is the bitter controversy over whether the permanent chair- manship goes to Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, a Roosevelt supporter, or to Jouett Shouse, anti- Roosevelt. Both sides are quick to express confidence of winning. However, thre is a feeling that the first dependable line on the situation will not come until Tues- day. Senator Harrison made an attempt to bring harmony in the situation but his proposal has been rejected by the Roosevelt man~ agers. Prohibition Issue The all-absorbing Prohibition is- sue comes up in public debate dur- ing today before the Resolutions Committee. That body has al- ready agreed on a general form of a repeal plank. The concensys of opinion is that plank will be short | and concise and will make an as- sertion In favor of submitting to the States the repeal of the amend- ment. However, there are other declarations pending. The factional strife of Louisiana’s Democracy has added to the prob- lems confronting the convention but last night the committee ten= tatively decided to seat the dele- | gates headed by Senator Huey Long over the protest of two other groups believed opposed to Roose- velt.

Then the Chi- chagof will go there and move them and their supplies to the lake near Carpe Glacier at the western base of Mount Fairweath- er. The ice in the lake is expected to be gone by that time.
