Meanwhile, in the Senate, Senator Oddie, Republican, of Nevada, appealed for repeal of the order for a 10 per cent cut in the $1,059,000,000 Treasury- Post Office appropriation bill After 30 minutes of debate on the general subject of how to bring about economy, it was agreed to refer the Oddie resolution to the Appropriations Cammittee. Earlier in the day a subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee, headed by Chairman Jones, began marking up the changes it will recom- mend in the independent offices appro- priation bill, which came from the Hoéuse with a total of more than $985,000,000 for the various independent establishments, the largest part of which is for the veterans’ administration. The subcommittee will resume work this affernoon. Benator Bailey, Democrat, of North Carolina introduced the joint resolution to create a committee, composed of representatives of the House, Senate and the President, to work out a com- prehensive program for reducing gov- grmmental expenditures by at least $500,000,000. The resolution declares in favor of reducing salaries rather than dismiss- ing employes. The committee would consist of the President, or his repre- sentative; two Senators, named by the Vice President, and two members of the House, named by the Speaker. F Leaders Support Plan.

SENTIMENT SWINGS JOBLESS AID ASKED BACK T0 SALES TAX 10 CHECK REVOLT House Acceptance Forecast if Senate Can Reach Agreement. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. A bi-partisan drive in the Senate for a modified sales tax to net at least $600,000,000 in revenue and make un- necessary some of the taxes already adopted by the House has been begun. Senator David Walsh of Massachu- setts, Democrat, is leading the fight, which will be aided on the Republican side by Senators Reed of Pennsylvania and Smoot of Utah. The plan is to recommend a 1 per cent sales tax with exemptions on cer- tain necessities of life as an amendment to the general tax bill reported today by the Senate Finance Committee. The belief is that if the Senate can reach an agreement, the House will accept the plan after the usual conference pro- cedure.

At the insistence of Senator Couzens the committee agreed to meet later in the day to hear representatives of the Tebber industry on the 5-cent-a-pound tariff on rubber provided. “The committee clung stubbornly to the compromise rates in the face of Pprotests by automobile manufacturers against the 4 per cent sales levy on their product.

Another phase of the matter which is attracting attention is the possible effect of a new tax plan on increased expenditures for public works and con- struction. While at the moment the administration is opposed to such spending, there is considerable senti- ment for it among the Progre..4ves in Congress as a means of saving munici- palities that are rapidly exhausting their relief funds and are unable to collect enough money on real estate and other taxes to strengthen their credit | for borrowing purposes. | Once a good revenue-producing plan | is adopted, emergency relief measures | will not be as readily opposed on the | ground that they will impair Govefn- ment credit.

A. F. of L. Spokesman Tells Senate Committee of In- creasing Danger. By the Associated Press. Edward F. McGrady, speaking for the American Federation of Labor, warned a Senate comfhittee today there is dan- ger of revolt unless the Federal Gov- ernment takes action to relieve unem- ployment. Testifying before the Manufactures Committee considering the Costigan- Lewis relief bill, he said, “If something is not done and starvation is going to continue and perhaps increase, the doors to revolution are going to be thrown wide open and leaders of the country ought to know it.” McGrady followed a number of wel- fare workers from New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, who renewed drive for Federal ald for the unem- ployed. $500,000,000 Is Sought. ‘The committee is considering the bill to authorize the raising of $500,000,000 through a bond issue for advances to the States and municipalities. Asked what would happen if Con- greas adjourned without doing anything, McGrady declared: “It would do noth- ing to close the doors of revolt.” “The administration ought to know that more than balancing dget is needed,” he added. “Bread and .butter is needed. We want to get it through work. If we can’t do that we are going to get it anyway.” Labor leaders, McGrady said, have lost their patience with the Govern- ment’s failure to provide relief. Conditions Declared Worse, “The employment situation is worse than at any time,” he said, warning that next Winter would be more serious than last. “A number of uprisings in industrial cities have been tossed off by saying they were led by Communists” Mc- Grady continued, “but most of those people know nothing of communism. What they wanted was bread.” C. C. Carstens, executive director of the Child Welfare League of America, testified last Fall he was opposed to Federal relief, but now favors it. “It 1s the only way to keep family life together,” he sald. Senator Costigan, Democrat, of Colo- rado, one of the authors of the measure, zfined the hearing with a statement t “nothing affirmative or construc- tive” has been done by Congress or the administration to relieve unemploy- ment. “Famine has touched the mind, but neither the heart nor conscience of America,” he said.

EVENING ICURTIS FORESAKES YAGHT FOR PLANE Lindbergh Also Believed to Have Left Norfolk Navy Base by Air. By the Associated Press. NORFOLK, Va., May 9.—Some new turn in negotiations fo rthe recovery of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, jr., was indicated today by the cessation of ac- tivities aboard the yacht Marcon and a supposed week end plane trip by the negotiators. The plane flight was believed to have been made by John Hughes Curtis and Lieut. George L. Richard, naval officer, since Friday night, when the Marcon returned from her latest cruise. Col.
