YEAR WAR FUND SOUGHT IN JAPAN $261,000,000 Defensive| Program Proposed in Ad- dition to Military Budget. Prettiest, Healthiest and a Royal Pair By the Associated Press. TOKIO, July 26.—The war office | proposed a broad five-year plan today for medernization. improvement and expansion of Japanese land and air| armaments. | The program. requiring exvendi- tures of 900,000,000 yen (about $261.- 000.000), was drafted by the general| staff of the war office for submission | to the cabinet and inclusion in the; budget. The money is in addition to, regular military appropriations. War office authorities, disclosing the project, pointed out that it was “es-| sential” to modernize equipment and increase the air force, which they con-, tended was inferior to those of (‘Lher} major powers. | Industrial Limitations Considered. | Although they considered Japen ex-! tremely vulnerable to an air attack.| officials said the limitations on Japan’s fndustrial capacity made it f.eceseary that the program be con- centrated on land equipment for the first two years. Air force improve- ments would occupy the last three years It was the first time since the Man- chukuan campaign that the army had disclosed its program for long- time expenditures. Officers had asserted previously that the situation forced daily alteration of plans. The situation in the Far East was believed to be sufficiently| stabilized now, however, to permit formulation of the national defense plan for presentation to the financei THE EVENING STAR, WASHIsu'WUN, N, TENTATIVETAXBILL FINAL FIGHT OPENS House Committee Measure Arouses Strong Criticism to Offset Warm Praise. | By the Associated Press. | Strong criticism and vigorous praise | today greeted the tentative bill with which Democratic members of the FRIDAY, | propose to put the President’s tax ideas on the statute books. | These committee members had | drafted a measure designed to raise an annual sum variously estimated at | $150,000,000 to more than $250,000,000. | " In general, criticism was from two | sides—advocates of a balanced budget. many of them Republicans, and left- wing share-the-wealth men. The praise came from members, including & number of Democrats, who said the committeemen in shaping the plan fol- lowed a middle-of-the-road course. Walsh Opens Guns. * From the Senate side came a portent of a battle ahead. Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts in a radio speech last night in The Washington | | Evening Star Forum analyzed Presi- | | dent Roosevelt's proposals critically, | and said it was “unfortunate” that the | que\uun was rot presented “as a rev- | enue measure rather than as a reform measure. Urging that action be postponed until January, Walsh, a member of the | Finance Committee, said: “None of the proposals for redis tribution of wealth, of which we have | recently heard so much, is sound or | practical.” | “Even if we conclude that there | 15 too great a concentration of wealth | | and economic power,” the Senator “and that it is the duty of | House Ways and Means Committee | JULY 26, 1935.

The army program fell into three parts: An nppropmtmn of 500.000.000 yen was designed chiefly for improvement and increase in military aviation, in addition to the 200,000,000 yen already authorized. An appropriation of 200,000,000 yen was considered for Japan proper and XKorea, for improvement of infantry. anti-tank and anti-air equipment, an increase in automatic modernization of field guns. improve- ments in heavy artillery and an in- crease in motor transports. New chemical equipment and im- proved connections between troops in the Japanese-sponsored State of Man- chukuo also were projected. The third appropriation of 200,000.- 000 yen, was proposed for improve- ments in Manchukuo similar to those in Japan proper, besides protection for the North Manchukuan Railway, in- creased army mechanization and in- troduction of military conscription. The five-vear plan appropriations would be added to the regular military expenditures, for which a total of 600,- | 000,000 yen has been requested an- nually hereafter, as compared to the present expenditures of 493,000,000 yen a year. ROCKVILLE RADIO STATION PROTESTED WOL and Philadelphia Broad- caster Fight License Grant. Hearings Asked. Protests against establishment of a new broadcasting station in Rock- ville, recently authorized by the Fed- eral Communications Commission's broadcast division, were filed with the commission today on behalf of WOL of Washington and WCAU of Phila- delphia. The division several weeks ago granted the application of the Mo- | nocacy Broadcasting Co., whose head is Lawrence Leonard, attorney, with offices in the Munsey Building, for a | new 250-watt station in Rockville to | operate daytime only on 1,140 kilo- cycles. Station WOL asks for a hearing, at | which its counsel, H. Russell Bishop of Washington, asserts he will intro- duce testimony to show Rockville has not sufficient local business to sup- | port a radio station, and that Rock- ville and Montgomery County are al- ready adequately supplied. The Philadelphia’s station’s protest is based on the proximity of the pro- | posed station’s wave length to its own | ‘wave length of 1,170 kilocycles.

Litvinoff, Council president and Soviet | foreign commissar, planned to call a ‘Cnunml session July 31 to deal with ! the controversy between Italy and Ethiopia. This announcement by a League official followed receipt of notes from both Ethiopia and Italy, in which each charged the other with responsibility for the East African crisis. Ethiopia requested the Council session. | Italy's note attributed to Ethiopia | the blame for the breakdown of the Conciliation Commission, which col- | lapsed at Scheveningen, the Nether- | lands, after Italian delegates refused to hear Ethiopian testimony on terri- torial questions, which they insisted should not be discussed. In connection with the proposed spe- cial Council session it was recalled that Italy was the nation which spon- sored energetically the African Em- pire’s admission to the League.

President’s Plan Turned Down. The committee Democrats turned down, for the present at least, the President’s idea of taxing dividends passing from one corporation to an- | other.

He | described the proposals as a “bitter disappointment” and “comparatively insignificant if any one intends to do anything at all about balancing the budget.” A number of conservative Demo- crats, however, indicated their sup- | port for the plan, while some of the more liberal expressed favor for stiffer rates on lnrge incomes.
