CARR STATES REGRETS; AGITATORS ARRAIGNED Reich Jewry Grows More Uneasy as Count Helldorf Announces State Will Take Over Task of Prosecuting Anti-Semitic Drive. Catholics See Peace. Termination of the German-American commercial treaty by the action of Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia in refusing a business permit to a Ger- man resident in New York was claimed yesterday by the official German press service. Berlin newspapers, meanwhile, loudly demanded a formal apology for the defiling of the German flag Pri- day night when it was torn from the bow of the liner Bremen during a demonstration of Communists as the vessel waited to saill from New York. Acting Secretary of State Wilbur H. Carr informally expressed | regret at the incident. Beven of the Bremen demonstrators were arraigned in New York and two more, suffering from bullet wounds, were arrested in hospitals. German Jewry became increasingly uneasy as Count von Helldorf, Ber- lin chief of police, forbade Jew- baiting by individuals, announcing that the state would prosecute the campaign against Jews “in another way.” Greater indications of peace were seen, however, by Catholics, heretofore under heavy fire from the Nazis.

Italy agreed yesterday to attend the League of Nations Council session called for July 31 to discuss her dispute with Ethiopia, but demand- ed, in effect, the right to dictate what the Council talked about. League officials at Geneva immediately expressed fear lest Italy bolt the session. Great Britain, with France's tentative backing, has demanded that the Council discuss all aspects | of the crisis. At Addis Ababa, Emperor Haile Selassie welcomed convoking of the Council, reiterated Ethiopia’s desire for peace. Rome reported Eritrea, Italy’s African colony, was already under martia: law.

Avenol of the League, after frantic telephone calls to Rome and careful study of two Italian notes, was unable to determin> definitely whether or not Italy would attend. Nevertheless he advised Maxim Litvinoff, president of the Ccuncil, to call the session for July 31. Conditions Set Forth. Italians who studied the Italian notes said they contained reservations designed to restrict the Council agenda. It appeared to them, they said, that Italy wanted arbitration of border disorders alone discussed and that even this decision was to be contingent upon & satisfactory reply to & note Italy sent to Ethiopia. Reports were current that Premier Benito Mussolini himself wrote the Italian reply to the League's overtures. It asked two questions: 1.

Will the agenda be based on other matters and, if so, what?

O'LEARY. With the administration’s tax bill due to take definite shape in the House this week, and most of the olher major legislation already in conference, ad- journment of Congress by the third week in August appeared a strong | probability last night. | A week ago there were threats that Congress might be kept in session until late in the Fali by efforts to tie the ! | soldiers’; bonus or the Frazier-Lemke | farm mortgage bill to the tax measure. | | Senator Borah pointed to such a pos- | sibility. But as leaders surveyed the‘ situation yesterday, there setmed less | likelihood of such a movement being | An effort will be made in the Senate tomorrow to obtain a test vote on the | | question of early adjournment, when the resolution of Senator Hastings, | Republican, of Delaware, calling on Ccngress tq complete 1ts labors on Au- | gust 10, will be called up.

Date Decision Difficult. | While it would be difficult now to | decide on a definite date for adjourn- | ment, if leaders can keep from attach- | ing unrelated controversial issues to the tax bill and can make headway on “must” bills already in conference, the | session could be brought to a close be- | fore the end of August.

Full Ways and Means Commit- tee to Get Revised Proposal Tomorrow. By the Associated Press President Roosevelt’s new tax bill was expanded yesterday to boost the rates on incomes as low as $50,000. House Ways and Means Committee Democrats, who are drafting the bill —which holds the present key to ad- journment of Congress—ended their preliminary work by broadening it to dip into the incomes of more than 7.000 individual taxpayers. Previously. it had been indicated, the rates would remain unchanged below $150,000. The committee has yet to consider many comparativelv minor points. Nevertheless, its members apparently | recognized the pressure for adjourn- }ment. They arranged for the bill to | be introduced formally and taken up by the full committee tomorrow. ‘Their hope is to get a new measure through the House by next Saturday night. Senate Democratic leaders, mean- while, were at work lining up their | big majority against all amendments when the tax bill reaches the Senate floor. They figured such an agree- ment would get the bill through the Senate within a week. If this could be done it would leave ample time for Congress to wind up its work before the end of August. Before Committee Tomorrow. Ways and Means Committee Demo- | crats originally had intended to get definite agreements on all things in the bill before laying it before the full committee. Acting Chairman Samuel B. Hill, Democrat, of Wash- ington, insisted yesterday, however, that even though final understand- ings had not been reached on the whole bill, it still would be put before the full committee tomorrow morn- g Meanwhile, Senator McNary of Oregon, the minority leader, voiced a criticism of the bill common among Republican adherents. He said: “The tax bill is not intended as a revenue bill. When you write a rev- enue bill, you've got to go down and tax the middle classes.” The decision of committe Democrats to expand the scope of their bill ob- viously was designed to answer such arguments at least in part. Until yesterday the tentative Demo- cratic understanding had been that the bill would increase the taxes on individual incomes of more than $150,- 000 a year. The stepped-up surtaxes in that group were estimated to pro- duce $20,400,000 a year: inheritance and gift taxes $110,000,000 to $118,- 000,000; graduated corporation in- come taxes $15000,0000 and excess profits $100,000,000. That made the total $245400,000 to $253,400,000. But yesterday's ac- tion, in addition to hitting around 7,000 taxpayers instead of less than 1,000 under the first plan, was esti- mated to bring in an additional $24,- 000,000 or $25,000,000 a year.

If the Senate should reaffirm its support of the amendment, the question would g0 back to conference for further dis- cussion of compromise. Since the House nearly always con- siders major legislation under a definite time limit on debate, the real key to the adjournment situation lies in the Sen- ate, where debate is unlimited, except by unanimous consent limitations or the adoption, on rare occasions, of a cloture rule. Unless all present signs fail, however, opposing factions in the Senate will permit controversial amendments to be voted up or down without long-drawn-out debate in the remaining weeks of the session.
