NEW TAES URGED FOROBS PROGRAM Administration Will Revende' for Aid to industry. e House Labor Committee to- tay unanimously approved the Con- nery substitute for the Black 30- ‘hour-work-week bill. By the Associated Press. New taxes will be asked by the ad- ministration to meet the interest and amortization costs of the proposed three billion dollar bond issue to put thou- sands of jobless back to work. How much and what form of taxes— the purpose of which is to keep the newly trimmed budget within balance— are to be recommended to Congress have not been determined. This was one of the points facing President Roosevelt today as he went to work on the last of his big domestic emergency relief measures. Sweeping in scope, this program en- compasses public works construction and stimulation of industry through Government supervision. _Mr. Roose- velt summoned to the White House leaders who have reached an under- standing between industry and labor on the general terms of the broad legis- lative program. Opposition Watched. At the same time congressional chief- tains watched closely signs of uprisings against some of the proposals, particu- larly against relaxtion of the anti-trust laws. Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New Seek York, who has been working out the | am, was one of those called in by the President. His proposal provides $3,000,000,000 for public works to give jobs, authorization for trade agreements within industry to improve wages, shorten hc/ur1s of wor kand control sur- lus production. » ‘Tonight House Democrats, called into caucus by the demands of 49 of their number, will consider the legislation. Representative Shannon, Democrat, of Missouri, who circulated the petition for the caucus, said he wanted to find out “what they're going to do to the anti-trust laws.” Also to be decided today by the ad- ministration was what should be done about the modified 30-hour-work-week bill now before the House Labor Com- mittee, which includes some of the pro- posals advanced in the general program. Fights Changes. Becretary of Labor Perkins was the tstanding supporter in the President’s &CN family of the 30-hour bill in its original form, but she is known to op- the measure as it is now being Boncdered by the House Labor Com- mittee. Chairman Connery has announced his intention of making its provisions ap- ply to imports, while under a new devise upon which a subcommittee is working, industry would be licensed to operate, with the licenses going only to those who agree to the specified hours and minimum wage. Another plan is to be presented to Mr. Roosevelt by Lewis W. Douglas, di- rector of the budget, and Col. Hugh Johnsston, an associate of Bernard Baruch. It would give the President broad emergency powers to regulate in- dustry. e U. S. SELLS BEER STAMPS IN “BONE DRY” GEORGIA By the Assoclated Press. ATLANTA, Ga., May 10.—The “bone dry” State of Georgia found itself in an equivocal position on the beer question today as the Federal Government of- fered revenue stamps for sale and at least three cities authorized the brew on_a home-rule basis. Josiah T. Rose, internal revenue col- lector, explained the Guvernmmt"s.snd- tion was not that of authorizing sale of beer in dry States, but of forcing com- pliance with Federal taxes in event it is sold. Georgia law prohibits alco- holics. Savannah, Alma and Douglas have authorized sale of 3.2 per cent beer by council action, contending that since Congress holds it is non-intoxicating it should be treated as a soft drink. SCHOOL PLANS ELECTION G. W. U. Students to Choose Campus “First Lady.” . Students at George Washington Uni- versity will ballot tomorrow and Fri- day to choose the school's “First Lady. Seven candidates, Harriet Atwell, Julia Prick, Grace Giffen, Margaret Gilligan, Virginia Hawkins, Margaret Leibler and Platonia Papps, are seeking the honor.

KHAKI CITY RISES TOHOUSE VETERANS Vanguard of Army Arrives. 8,000 Expected at Fort Hunt Saturday. - (Continued Prom Pirst Page) leaderships, already has stirred up diffi- cultsé:mhlm to be solved by the police jurisdictions in and near the city. Fifty metropolitan policemen under the command of Lieut. Harvey G. Calla- han were rushed to the Capitol Grounds this morning when it was learned that & group of ex-service men were on the | Capitol Grounds. The men caused no | trouble, however, and conducted them- selves throughout in an orderly manner. Capitol police requested groups which had entered the grounds to leave, ex- plaining that they were not allowed to congregate on the grounds. The men left quietly. This group is now en- camped on C street southeast between First street and New Jersey avenue, be- side the old House Office Building. Another group, some from Johnson City, Tenn, and some from Rock Is- land, Il., are encamped at the foot of the Capital grounds on Maryland avenue. Most of the others are scat- tered through the city. None is yet in the Fort Hunt encampment. Alexandria Disturbed. The fact that the largest concentra- tion of men will be at Fort Hunt is disturbing the citizenry of Alexandria, only 6 miles north of the encamp- ment. Members of the City Council sat last night in executive session to con- sider the “serious situation™ feared by the councilmen. It had before it a communication from the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce urging that the council ask Gov. Pollard to protest to the Federal Government against using the Fort Hunt site. The police have been supplied with additional sawed- off shotguns and are prepared for any emergencies. At Fort Hunt, 250 infantrymen from Fort George Meade, Md., were setting up 840 new tents, each capable of hous- ing elght men, making accommodations for 6.720 marchers. take care of any additional men who arrive. The Liaison Committee is re- cruiting an army of not to exceed 8,700 on the basis of 20 delegates from each congressional district, with perhaps ad- ditional delegates at large. This is the group which has official make-up. The men are commanded by Maj. Alexander L. P. Johnson, U. S. A. The Virginia Public Service Corporation has crews putting up poles and string- ing wires for electric lighting for each tent. A mess hall will be set up in one of the ancient frame buildings at the camp. B. E. F. Unprepared For. ‘These preparations were in striking contrast to the utter lack of accommo- dations for the “right wing” group now arriving in town, which has declared it will not go to Fort Hunt. They picked up what they could here and there from sympathizers. A number were fed by Mrs. Margaret Winstead, a World ‘War nurse, at her home 1220 D street northeast, while others are being cared for at the B. E. F. headquarters, 1348 Fairmont street. Most of the B. E. F. veterans are scattered in small groups about the Capitol, lounging on vacant lots and street corners. Harold L. Foulkrod, senior vice com- mander of the B. E. F., and John New- 1in, adjutant, appealed today for food and shelter for their men. They hope, Foulkrod declared, to obtain billets in a single group somewhere within or just outside the city, and, Foulkrod de- clared, “we will try to stay here until the bonus is paid.” Short.liy'l after urflle:’g herz,‘ !bul?r«:d's Marylanders sent a !%l ion of two me.;yw each of the Mi d members of the House, while a small group of colored veterans with his outfit dis- patched three delegates to Representa- tive Oscar De Priest of Illinois. Visit Representatives. Other members of the B. E. F. from West Virginia, Montana and Oregon went to see Representatives from those States. ' All these delegates were to ask that the Representatives rush the bonus bill through the Rules Committee and vote for it on the floor of the House. Ac- cording to Foulkrod and Newlin, the B. E. F is principally concerned with payment of the bonus. As & compro- mise, they said, they are willing to accept bonus payments to unemployed veterans and wait for payments to those with jobs.

NEW YORK, May 10.—Count Byron Kuhn de Prorok expressed the belief yesterday his archeological expedition into the Mayan jungle of Mexico has discovered the tomb of Gautemoc, nephew of Montezuma and last of the Aztec emperors. The French explorer, who gained i wide recognition for his Carthaginian excavations and other work in Africa, said his party would return to the jun. gle next October to dig posed tomb—in the State of Tol on the Usamacinta River, some 800 miles south and east of Mexico City. Parls to report his archeological work among the Maya tribes, the young nobleman said “if true, this would equal in importance the discovery of the tomb of Tut-Ankh- Amen.” ‘The archeologist sald his discoveries ret among the Mayas convinced him that man did not originate in 3d | Desert. having or’ coming n tes of stock 18 wi certificates k dorger.

Patman Says He Could Have No Voice in Conven- tion Here. The so-called “left wing” of the bonus marchers is led by a man who is not even a veteran of the World War. This was learned today when the Navy Department revealed that its records show Emanuel Levin served in the Marine Corps—but _before the United States entered the World War. Levin and his followers have secured White House co-operation for staging a concentration in this vicinity in their agitation for immediate payment of ad- usted compensation which veterans of the World War alone are entitled. Navy records show Levin had two enlistments in the Marine Corps and was born in Russia November 10, 1884. Giving his occupation as clerk, Levin | first enlisted in the Marine Corps at | Cleveland May 9, 1906. During this en- listment, he was on duty at New York, ‘Washington, Mare Island, Calif.; Peking, China, and Cavite, P. I. He was dis- charged, wjth character excellent, May 8, 1910. e became entitled to & good conduct medal. Levin’s second enlistment began on November 29, 1915. He served on this “cruise” at Philadelphia and Norfolk, Va. He secured a “purchase discharge” by buying his way out of the service, on March 24, 1916. This was on the plea that his mother had died re- cently of tuberculosis and that he had to take care of his sisters. who were threatened with the same disease, offi- clals said. ‘When he bought his way out of the service, Levin's character was excellent, officials said. In an address on the floor of the House yesterday, Representative Ham- lton Fish, Republican, of New York, who conducted the famous inquiry into “red” activities in this country, said the former Marine is one of the aetive mem- bers of the Veterans’ National Liaison Committee and “also the head of the ‘Workers’ Ex-Service Men's League, 8 communist organization. He formerly was editor of the Daily Worker, the official organ of the Communist party, Fish said Representative Patman, Democrat, of Texas, advocate of immediate bonus payment, observed: “Mr. Levin is not a veteran of the World War, and he would not be in a position to have anything to say if they have a conven- tion here.” Pish replied: “Mr. Levin is an active and leading member of the National Veterans’ Liaison Committee.
