A tax of four cents a gallon on gasoline, aimed particularly at air- planes which are expected to in- crease greatly in number with the development of more fields and air- ports in the Territory, is called for in the bill which is dependent on the passage of the license cut. The latter weuld cut the license fee on passenger-carrying vehicles from $15 to $5 a year and on vehicles in private operation from $10 to $3. Both measures will become ef- fective January 1, 1936, if they win approval of the House.

If this is not successful it is authorized to ac- quire another site either by dona- tion or purchase but not to expend 000 going to construction and the remaining $2,500 for equipment.

F ASSOCIATED PRESS Italian Commanders in Abyssinian War [REVOLTERS IN o- of the Italian expeditionary force against Abys- | milio de Bono, high commissioner in Eritrea and the campaign Political Rumblings Seen of Gold Ruling By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Pres:, Washington) Apparently it will be a long time before politicians reach any sort of agreement as to the political consequences of the gold decision. The Supreme Court's pronounce- ment was greeted with real jubila- tion among many supporters of the Roosevelt Administration, It soon developed, however, that opinion was far from unanimous. One Democrat holding high office privately expressed the view that the court's language in declaring abrogation of the gold clause in- valid, as applied to Federal Gov- ernment bonds, might have wide re- percussions in future political dis- cussion. The immediate effect will begin to show, of course, when, and if, pending inflationary proposals come up for active consideration in Con- gress. The alignments developed by such a debate will be most inter- esting. It will be in the 1936 Presiden- tial campaign, however, that the issue will emerge into the open— granting that it ever does. Saw Some Confusion The concern with which Admin- istration politicians looked forward o the court decision was quite pat- ent. They foresaw the greatest con- fusion if the justices let the ad- ministration down, and they were not at all certain where they would come out of such a situation. The first reaction when the court acted was one of great relief. Things were left as they were, to all intents and purposes: the “cha- os" feared by Attorney General Cummings had béen avoided, even hough the court did say some narsh words ‘about the government bond gold abrogation. Various administration men still ippear to persist in that view of it. They declare the net elfect of he decision has been to add to the prestige of the President. They look thankfully to the high court as the | medium through which a new seal of approval and orthodoxy has been put upon the plans and of the New Deal. Criticism interpreted That is one conception of it. The other is that while the adminis- tration won a technical victory, it lost caste in that the court de- ‘lared it had attained its end by unconstitutional and regrettable methods. To those who feel so, the court simply has sald to Mr. Roosevelt and to Congress: “You have done wrong, but this time you escape through a loophole in the law. Next time, wateh you step.” One suggestion advanced cn Cap- itol Hill, is that those who contend (Continued on Page Seven) | BLOODY-ENGAGEMENT, . metfiiu ‘FRONT projects | CMPIRE PRICE TEN CENTS LS WITH BOMBS, MACHINE GUN FIRE ON Foes of Lyncfiing Press Bill GREECE UNDER HEAVY ASSAULT Are Defeated and on Run in One Sector—Wound- ed Lgt:on F%l d ;One Wafsthfin ;lands of : | Insurgents, Reported ! inFlames, Open Sea | ATHENS, March 5.—Government bembing planes and heavily armed loyal machine gun troops smashed into the massed rebel forces today in the Struma area of Salonika, ac- cording to official reports, and heavy fighting is indicated in oth- er sections of Greece's Civil War. | A concerted drive was started early this morning after the rebels {were given one day in which to surrender.
