Il PARADE PROTESTS | SWANP COOLIDGE Objections to Klan March Here Continue to Pour In. i | i { { 1 | | | BY J. RUSSELL YOUN Staff Correspondent of The Star. WHITE HOUSE, Swamp- cott, s., July .—President Cool- idge finds it utterly impossible to cast | off completely the cares and responsi- bilities of Chief Executive, even {though he has come far away from i the Capital for a vacation. Following his return from Plymouth Mr. Coolidge finds two problems con- fronting him which must be given se- rious consideration, one of which is of more than ordinary interest to Wash- ington, the forthcoming Ku Klux Klan demonstration to be held there next month. Scores of protests against this pro- posed gathering of the Klan in the | Nation’s Capital are being received by | President Coolidge. These communi- | cations are neot confined to any one section, and for the most part are | signed by leaders of Catholic, Jewish jand colored organizations, as well as individuals. - Protests Are Similar. Thesa protests are very similar, and the writers appeal to the President, not only to denounce the Klan in a letter declining the latter’s invitation to attend the parade to be held in Washington, but that he openly and in unmistakable language make known his disapproval of such a dem- onstration and also to take steps to prevent the Klan from carrying out its plans. Other than to say that the execu- tive office here has received no invi- tation from the Klan, nothing was made knowkn at the executive office {today that could be taken to reflect | the President’s attitude. One of th: President’s assoclates intimated today | that even though an official invitation | should be received from the Klan, it | is doubtful if the Presiden 1d’ go !

By the Associated Press With final figures in hand showing a $250,000.000 surplus for the fiscal vear ended Tuesday., Trea : atten- tion was turned today to a revision of estimates of receipts for the vear now beginninz. Orders to review Undersecretary Winston. The revamping of calculations was made necessary by the fact that prac tically all items of receint for the past year exceeded expectations. Much of the excess thus resulting came in re- celpts from taxes paid in March and June and furnishes what is regarded as a definite indication of the trend to be developed in the fiscal vear now started. Income Tax Surplus Huge. Income tax receipts, amounting to $1,760,000,000, were $100,000,000 great er than had been estimated. The be liet prevails at the Treasu ceipts from this source in the coming fiscal year are likely, therefore, to go above $1,710,000,000, which was figure calculated when the last budget was sent to Congress. ustoms revenue and miscellaneous receipts also were unusually and officials are convinced the | surplus when the current yvear ends next June will be materiaily higher than the previous estimate of $290,- 000,000. Tt is on this surplus that tax reduction must be based. Surplus § 38.33. The surplus for the Government's fiscal vear ending June 30, 1925, was announced last night by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon as $250 238.33, which is nearly four time: lus estimated last October of about 7.000,000.
