C, | Democrats Crack Down on Long As Ashurst Leads First Assault Arizona Senator Reflects Upon the Fishes Cast Up by Storms. Refers to the Classics in Warning Huey of Aeschylus’ Fate. The Democratic organization ma- chinery began “cracking down” on Senator Huey P. Long of Louisiana yesterday. Aroused by his recent 16- hour filibuster and his repeated at- tacks on the Roosevelt administration and its legislative program, the organ- ization, headed by Senator Joseph T. Robinson, Democratic leader of the Senate, began open war on Long. Senator Henry P. Ashurst, Democrat, of Arizona, chairman of the Judiciary | Committee, was put forward to make | the principal assault on the Louisiana | “dictator” and champion of the share- | the-wealth plan. Senator Ashurst, in a carefully prepared speech, featured by classical allusions, held Long up to ridicule and also gave him warning that unless he changed his ways the American Eagle would drop something fatal on his head and he would suffer the legendary fate of Aeschylus. The Arizona Senator, who is rated one of the chamber's ablest users of English, portrayed Long as one of the host of creatures cast up after a storm at sea, such as the “grunt, puffer, toadfish, jellyfish and sawfish.” He S SENATOR HENRY F.

The overseas journey to this mid- Pacific d was- completed in 9 hours and 13 minutes of flying time. The craft took off from Pearl Harbor, Hawali, at 11:27 a.m., Eastern stand- ard time, today.

Packed in a refrigerating chemical, the ice cream was taken along as & treat for the 32 persons living at Mid- ‘way, & little coral atoll west and north of here, near the international date line.

The state of the Government's finances for both the current and next fiscal years makes any decrease in | revenue unwise, the House Ways lnd;‘ Means Committee concluded yester- | day in a formal report advocating immediate adoption of a resolution for | a two-year continuance of $501,000,000 ‘ “The two-year extension is selected | because it is nef_yet apperent that these ~additional revenues can be spared before the expiration of such | period,” the report said, rejecting all | suggestions that any of the nuisance | levies of the revenue act of 1932 be | modified now or in the immediate future. To make doubly sure of the adop- | tion of the resolution without change | in any detail of the existing taxes, | the measure will be called up in the | House and passed tomorrow under | suspension of the rules. This parlia- mentary procedure was decided upon | by House leaders in their latest show | of effort to push along the adminis- tration's “must” program. Session to Go Into July. Talk of early adjournment, silenced two weeks ago in the confusion fol- lowing the Supremie Court’s triple de- cision against the New Deal, has been revived, but there is little level-headed speculation disposed to predict the end of the present session of Congress be- fore late July. If tax legislation delays adjourn- ment, it will not be the fault of the House, leaders contended when asked what may happen to the resolution when it reaches the Senate, where a “Progressive” bloc is threatening more drastic levies. Immediately after the passage of the tax resolution tomorrow, the House will begin work on the revised amendments to the agricultural ad- justment act. In the drive it is pos- sible the Wagner-Connery labor rela- tions bill may be reached before the week end, to be followed by the utili- ties holding company measure, upon which a report is expected from the House Interstate Commerce Commit- | tee some time next week. Impending Loss Summarized. The Ways and Means Committee report summarized the loss in revenue if the expiring taxes are mot contin- ued as follows: ' Actual revenue from temporary taxes and taxes temporarily increased for fiscal year 1934, $498,559.000. Estimated revenue from above for fiscal year 1935, $428,781,000. Estimated revenue from above for fiscal year 1936, if taxes are continued on existing basis, $438,091,000. Estimated annual loss of revenue on 1936 basis if temporary taxes and rates are not continued, $426,991,000. Estimated annual loss of revenue if existing temporary law in respect to postal rates is not continued, $75,000,- 000.

MIDWEST PARLEY Session Seen as Starting Drive, but Avoiding Too Large Scope. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Republican leaders in Congress have been greatly. encouraged by the | enthusiasm shown at the Midwest | grass roots conference in Springfield, Tl They believe that the Republican gathering did a good job in the res- olutions they adopted. They are par- ticularly pleased that the conference refrained from an attempt to write a party platform and coutented it- self with a statement of “principles.” ‘The Republicans realize that new issues of great importance may de- velope in the next 12 months. The Republican platform does not have to be written until next June. There is no reason why the Republicans should show their hand or all their | cards until then. An example of the | sudden shift which may take place, | they say, is found in the situation | which developed almost on the eve | of the Springfield conference. “Had that conference taken place two weeks before it did, the whole tenor of it might have been very different,” said one Republican sen- atorial leader yesterday. “The de- cision of the Supreme Court holding the N. R. A. unconstitutional, fol- lowed by the President’s statement to the press in criticism of the court’s decision, changed the whole outlook of the conference. There may be other developments equally important and equally startling in the coming year which will have important bearing on the campaign which the Repub- licans will make for control of the National Government.” ‘Will Press Issue. ‘The Republicans, however, have no ilnlemiun whatever of letting Presi- | dent Roosevelt escape from the | “issue” which he himself proclaimed | at his press conference on the N. R. A. | decision. That issue was whether the | Federal Government should have power to deal with economic and so- cial problems of national scope, such } as has been attempted under the New | Deal laws, one of which has now been | held unconstitutional.” The Republi- | eans have interpreted the President’s | statement as meaning an attack upon the Constitution as it mow stands, and as meaning that the Contstitution must -be amended. They intend to | keép pumping the question, “Do you | plan a constitutional amendment to | make the New Deal legal?” at the (See REPUBLICANS, Page A-7.) —_— DUCE SIGNS SOVIET PACT | Trade Agreement Makes Guaran- tee of Export Credit.

Humphrey. He resisted a presidential order removing him from | the Federal Trade Commission and ! was upheld by the Supreme Court. But that tribunal’s decision applied to members of quasi-judicial and quasi- legislative agencies, not to executive officers. Asked to Quit in September. Mitchell’s promised charges re- mained a secret. He has headed the Shipping and Air Commerce Bureaus in the department and may center his attack there. The Commerce Department state- ment said he was first asked by Sec- | retary Roper to quit in September, 1934, but was given more time to sub- mit charges of “serious derelictions” | he said existed in the department’s | bureaus, Later, when the President person- | ally asked him to resign, he repeated his charges by letter to the Chief Executive. The statement said the President referred his charges to the Attorney General and that Mitchell has been “advised that he will be furnished | every opportunity” to “amplify and substantiate his comments.” ' Johnson Has War Record. Col. Johnson, Mitchell's successor, was attached to the Rainbow Division during the World War and holds the Distinguished Service Medal, the Ver- dun Medal and the Legion of Honor of Prance for his war service. He also is & veteran of the Spanish War, in which he served as a sergeant of volunteer infantry. The new Assistant Secretary has been engaged in practice as a civil engineer in South Carolina since 1898, except for the war period, and is known for his engineering work in connection with the Cow Castle and | otner drainage projects in the South | and on the Mars Bluff bridge at Pee Dee, S. C, and on other bridges. | He was chief engineer and chairman | of the Marion County Highway Com- mission, 1912-1914, and chairman of the State Highway Commission, 1916- 17 Declined Two Posis. Col. Johnson, it is said, was offered appointment as Assistant Secretary of War by President Roosevelt in 1933, but declined, and also was of- fered and declined appointment as regional adviser on public works proj- ects two years ago. Born in Marion, 8. C., May 5, 1878, Col. Johnson attended the South Carolina schools and the University of South Carolina and Furman Uni- versity.

Woodstock Widow, in Tree, Saves It, Balks Road Work Special Dispatch to The Star, WOODSTOCK, Va., June 15.—State officials were out on a limb tonight because a woman persisted in staying up a tree in the face of encroaching highway improvements. The woman is Mrs. Loraine Brown, widowed daughter of the late W. 8. French, prominent Washington and Woodstock financier, who cNmbed a lofty shade. tree in front of her home yesterday and defied workmen engaged in widening South Main street to cut it down. Mrs. Brown sat throughout the day and calmly read a book as workmen went to other trees in the path of the improvement work and hewed them down. She retired to her residence last night after the last of the workmen left for their homes. She returned to her perch bright and early this morning and remained . there until returned from Winchester with an in- junction against the workmen. It is believed in some quarters that the court order may throw a wrench into the State's plan to cut down the shade trees along the street so the thoroughfare may be widened as a link in the Lee-Jackson Highway im- provement project now being - car- ried on. 4 Other less optimistic residents, how- ever, pointed to the destruction of the’ trees in front of .the home of Mrs. Charlotte Frances Stephens, sister of Supreme Court Justice Ferdinand Pecora of New York in the face of & similar injunction.

BY J. A. O'LEARY. With the Nation-wide social se- curity bill due to pass the Senate this | week, the Senate District Committee | will take steps soon to whip into final | shape the several measures necessary | to put the national plan into effect in Washington. Local bills dealing with old-age pen- sions, unemployment insurance and pensions for the blind have passed the House, but Chairman King of the Senate committee decided to await | enactment of the Pederal law so that the District’s social security legisla- tion can be made to fit the standards finally agreed upon for the country as a whole. Moving quickly, the Senate vester- day afternoon approved nearly all the Finance Committee changes in the then agreed to a limitation on a de- bate which leaders hope will bring the measure to & vote in the Senate by Wednesday. It will then have to go | to conference with the House, however, before its terms are final, and Sena- tor King probably will not seek action on the District program until the Federal standards are definitely fixed. For example, when the national bill passed the House it required the States to adopt the pooled system of unemployment insurance, under which the contributions of all employers are lumped in a State-wide fund, and the local bill passed the House with the same requirement. Two Plans Offered. One of the numerous amendments to the national bill the Senate ap-| | proved yesterday leaves the States free to adopt either the pooled fund or the | separate company reserve system. Un- | der the latter plan a separate book- | keeping account would be kept with | each employer, from which his own | employes would be paid when they are laid off. The Senate amendment also recognizes the principle of en- | couraging employers to stabilize em- | ployment by allowing credits, in the | | form of reduced contributions. when- | ever they show a good record in keep- ing their workers steadily employed. } By awaiting enactment of the Fed- eral law, the Senate District Commit- tee will have a chance to consider in | the local laws these and any other changes that may be agreed upon as national standards. Other Finance Committee amend- ments to the national bill adopted by the Senate yesterday were: A new sec- tion providing Federal grants to match State pensions for the blind; inclusion of the word “needy” in the definition of persons entitled to the gratuity old- age pensions, toward which the Fed- eral Government would make a grant of $15 to match a similar payment by Lhe State; making the Social Security (Continued on Page 16, Column 1.)
