Science Editor. WILMINGTON, Del., August 5— One hundred degrees below zero, the most intense cold yet used on a big industrial scaie, was announced today by the Du Pont Co. in the making of synthetic rubber. ‘The temperature is lower than any- thing naturally occuirmg on earth, where the bottom reported is 90 below in Siberia. There is one stratosphere report of 133 below on November 6, 1913, over Batavia, but stratosphere averages run 60 to 70.

Representatives of the United States Chamber of Commerce have requested an opportunity to be heard in opposition to the bill, and it is expected that they will appear be- fore the committee Wednesday. It is the hope of the commitiee to complete hearings on that day, and to get at the actual drafting of its version of the bill by Friday. Judg- ing from the tenor of the question- ing by committee members during hearings last week, it is considered likely that several major changes will be made in the bill as passed by the House, In the laiter form, the legislation departs in several respects from the recommendations made to Congress by President Roosevelt. Among the major differences is that the increase in surtax rates starts with the $50.- 000 income bracket instead of the $1,000,000 bracket; that the gradua- tion of corporation income taxes is in & range of 1 per cent only instead of 6 per cent; that provision is made for new excess profits taxes, but that none is made for inter-company divi- dend taxes, and that corporations are allowed tax exemption up to 5 per cent of their net income on gifts to charity. President Overruled. The latter revision, spproved at the suggestion of the House Com- mittee during consideration of the measure on the floor Saturday, is in direct contradiction to the expressed wishes of President Roosevelt. It was estimated by some that such exemption would decrease revenue from the bill by $20,000,000. In the form submitted to the House, the legislation was expected to produce an additional $270,000,000 in revenue. As the bill headed out of the House toward the Senate, Senator Barbour, Republican, of New Jersey, opened an attack on it “Votes, and voles alone, are the objective of this half-baked measure,” he said in & statement. “No Relation to Income” Declaring the bill “has no relation to making income meet outgo, but is intended to accomplish some weird social objective,” Barbour continued: “Never in the history of this country has a more flagrant proposal to violate all these tenets (of sound taxation) and to misuse the taxing power come T (See TAXES, Page 3) CLOSED MILL REOPENED PUTNAM, Conn., August 5 (#) . — The mill of the Putnain Woolen Co., scene of a strike for the last six weeks, today upder the pro- ::.cluon of a special 15-man police de- About 100 union workers formed a feet from the factory, disturbance. sald i2 persons re- making liquid oxygen, at 182 below sero,
