GENEVA, July 27.—League of Na-| tions officials announced today that the secretariat, after a consultation with Maxim Litvinoff. president of the Council, had decided to convoke an extraordinary session of the Coun- cil July 31 to deal with the Italio- Ethiopian dispute. These officials said that Italy, in replying to a query as to what date was most acceptable for the session, refrained from stating definitely whether her representatives would attend the session, merely expressing indifference as to the date. (Rome dispatches today said the Ttalian government had telegraphed the League expressing Italy’s willing- ness to attend the Council session with the provision that the Council limit its discussions to ways and means of for- | warding the work of the Italo-Ethi- opian Conciliations Commission.) The League version of the reply was that Italy was awaiting a response from Ethiopia to the last Italian note in which Rome urged Addis Ababa not to insist upon discussions of ter- ritorial questions during the arbitra- tion proceedings. League circles this afternoon had the impression that Italy will insist upon restriction of the Council’s ac- tivities to questions of conciliation and arbitration and probably will oppose any broad investigation of the dispute: WILLING TO ATTEND.

BULLETIN, A tentative decision to broaden vastly the scope of .the Roosevelt tax bill by increasing levies on in- comes as low as $50.000 was reached today by House Ways and Means Committee Democrats.

Cite Morgenthau Views. Some contended that was not enough to jibe with Secretary Mor- | genthau's assertion that the “time has come to move” in the direction of | taxes which would both “meet cur- rent expenditures and make substan- | tial reductions in the debt.” | Consequently, they proposed that the rates be stiffened and what they | called “real” money be brought in.| Their opponents insisted that with the | new taxes it would be more than pos- | sible to meet the interest charges on the public debt and that was all that Was necessary at the moment. Political considerations also bore weight. Some objected to the bill being labeled “share-the-wealth” on two grounds—first, that it would not actually redistribute wealth and, sec- ond, that the phrase implied it was & ‘“radical” program. ‘They contended that if the smaller incomes were tapped—despite Presi- dent Roosevelt's recommendation that only the “very large” be touched— the stigma of that phrase, if any, would be avoided. Seen Unwise Before Election. On the other hand, some thought it would be unwise in the year before & presidential election to hit the smaller incomes. The committeemen had found that an increase in the tax on incomes over $150,000 would affect only a few persons. If such a tax had been applied in 1933, it would have affected only 962 persons, Government figures showed.
