REPUBLICAN TRIO SCORESNEW DEAL ] Ekpenditures, Taxation and Trade Policies Hit in Statements. BY WILL P. KENNEDY. New Deal expenditures, taxation and trade policies drew the fire of three leading House Republicans in state- ments made public yesterday. Through the Congressional Record, Representative Treadway of Massa- chusetts, ranking minority member of the Ways and Means Committee, de- clared ‘“President Roosevelt has spent more than was spent by all the ad- ministrations from George Washing- ton to and including Taft's regime.” Representative Bacharach of New Jersey, 19 years on the committee, assailed the tax and tariff program. Representative Bacon of New York, strikihg the same note as Treadway, declared the majority taxation plan is shifting the burden to those least able to pay. He pointed out that in 1935, the Federal Government col- lected $2,232,402,340 in “hidden” taxes, or an increase of 286 per cent since 1932 in levies laid indirectly which must fall on the consumer. Total Expenditure Shown. “The annual report of the Secre- tary of the Treasury,” said Treadway, “shows the total expenditures of the Federal Government for all purposes in the 124 years from 1789 to 1913 ‘were $24,521,845,000; from March 4, 1933, to June 30, 1936—a period of a little over three years— President Roosevelt has spent $25,127,000,000 in cash outlays alone, not including any of the contingent liabilities, amounting to several billions of dollars.” He points out receipts in the same period have been only $11:894,000,- 000, making an accumulated deficit for that period of “the staggering total of $13,233,000,000.” He recalls that when he first came to Congress “it required about a billion dollars annually to run the country; now it takes that much just to pay the in- terest on the debt, without allowing & cent for amortization.” ‘Treadway pointed to the financial plank of the Republican platform, particularly to the pledge to balance the budget “not by increasing taxes, but by cutting expenditures drasti- cally and immediately.” He cited three ways by which the budget may be balanced: (1) By imposing suffi- cient new taxes to meet the prodigal spending program:; (2) by reducing expenditures to meet existing rev- enues; (3) by a combination of in- créased taxes and reduced expendi- tures. Debt Payment Held Penalized. Representative Bacharach asserted that while ostensibly for revenue- raising purposes the new tax law “is actually aimed at forcing the distri- bution of corporate earnings without respect to the financial needs of the corporation. It therefore constitutes a direct and unwarranted interference with business by substituting Govern- ment dictation for sound discretion in the management of the fiscal af- fairs of a corporation.” “The new law,” he said, “even pe- nalizes the payment of debts by impos- ing the penalty tax on amounts re- served for that purpose. It discour- ages rehabilitation and expansion by penalizing amounts retained for these purposes. This will result in retard- ing recovery and re-employment.” On tariff, Bacharach said: “The failure of the New Deal program is best illustrated by a comparison of the increase in imports and exports from 1934 to 1935." “Imports,” he said, “increased 24 per cent, but exports increased only 7 Owner may claim_same by and pasing for this notice. anc 3 .

HIS blood-thirsty and cunning queen of the African jungle learned about American alley cats from one small mother of Kkittens. Jenny, who was trapped in Tan- ganyika, East Affica, by the Smith- sonian-Chrysler Expedition in 1926, was new to this country then. She noticed a funny little kitten no bigger than a rat playing outside her cage. The leopard slunk off to an ambush, and lay patiently for hours on end, Jjust inside her door to the lion house. Only her pale eyes showed as she watched the amtics of the unwary kitten, The little cat was the member of a the cellar of the lion house. One day the kitten strayed inside the leopard’s cage and Jenny was almost on it with But Jenny had reckoned without the mother caf, who happened to be close by.

The female leopard, who hcru!t has given birth to several kittens, was caught by Dr. William M. Mann, Zoo director, in a box made here by Head Keepér Willlam H. Blackburne and knocked down in portable form for the long voyage to Africa. ‘The' traps, which were baited with meat, hung on a trigger, followed the design of rabbit boxes known to every farm boy. In them Dr. Mann caught five leopards and a number of spotted hyenas. Several species of leopard range for- est and upland regions of Asia and Africs. They. are killers, whose blood lust drives them to destruction of sheep and cattle far beyond thelr need for food. In »captivity, however, they prove fairly easy to tame and breed readily. || The leopard is smaller, but easily as formidable as the South American jaguar.

Townsend (Continued Prom First Page) Democratic ticket. President Roose- velt is planning a trip to the drought regions of the West and another to { the flood-stricken region in New Eng- land. He is not to make political | speeches, it is said, on these trips. | He probably will discuss the drought and flood problems as he travels along, however. Any appearance the Pres- ident makes, any trips he takes, this Summer will have their poliitcal an- gles. One of the serious problems that confronts the Democratic high com- mand today lies in the battle waging between William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, on the one hand and John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers and the Committee on Industrial Or- ganization, on the other. Lewis has tied himself and his organizations in fast with the Roosevelt candidacy. Green, although a Democrat, as he told the Resolutions Committee of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, is holding to the tradi- tional policy of keeping the A. F. of L. out of strictly partisan politics in national campaign. The Democrats have counted upon a united front on the part of organized labor in sup- port of the Roosevelt-Garner ticket. If Green and the executive council of the A. F. of L. suspend Lewis and the unions making up the C. I. O, it means a row in the ranks of organized labor of major proportions. Con- sequently, the Roosevelt administra- tion is doing everything it can to prevail upon Green to go easy. Republican Hands Off. ‘The Republicans quite naturally are not opposing the driye which Lewis is launching to or the steel indus- try, a drive which he probably figures will make it more difficult for Green to act against him and which at the same time should help the Roosevelt ticket in Pennsylvania, where the steel workers are located in great numbers, They are not aligning themselves against organized labor, no matter what they may think of Mr. Lewis. It is clear, however, that they would OPPORTUNITY An excellent opportunity awaits capable man to asso- ciate himself with one of Wash- ington’s oldest business houses.

If Green yields to the importunities of the administration and no action is taken by the A. F. of L. Executive Council against Lewis and his C. 1. O,, it will be a feather in the cap for Lewis. The C. I. O. will have won another advantage and the ultimate danger to the A. F. of L. will have grown apace. In the Republican camp things seem to be moving forward for a united front in the campaign. Senator Borah, who has been eyed hopefully by both the Republicans and Democrats since the conclusion of the Republican na- tional convention, is a candidate for re-election on the Republican ticket in Idaho. He has announced he will not bolt the Republican national ticket. It is expected that he will support it ac- | tively. Former Gov. Prank O. Lowdon of Hllinois, who runs a big farm himself and has for years been highly regarded | by farmers of the West, is in the Lan- don camp. His ideas for dealing with the farm problem and those of Gov. Landon run along similar lines. It is probable that the Republicans will | promise to do just as much. for the drought-stricken farmers as the Demo- crats are planning to do. Roosevelt Favorite. Here, in the middle of July, the odds still seem to favor the re-election of President Roosevelt. However, the Republican campaign is still in the making, while the Democratic cam- paign has been running for months and years, as was frankly admitted by Chairman James A. Farley of the Democratic National Committee, in & press conference during the last week. There is the threat to the Democratic ticket arising from the proposed third party, and the complications growing | out of the Lewis-Green row in labor circles. All of these things may change the political situation materially as the weeks roll by. Both camps are making strenuous plays for the young voters and for the women. The young Democratic clubs and the young Republican clubs are given a prominence that would have been considered amazing a few years ago. The Democrats already have done much to line up the wom- en. The Roosevelt administration was the first to put a woman in the Cab- inet, the first to appoint a woman to a major diplomatic post. It has given women many public offices. And just for full measure, the administration is putting out postage commemorat- ing the adoption of the woman suffrage amendment to the Constitution on Au- gust 26. It is the sixteenth anniver- sary of national woman suffrage, which does not seem to mean any- thing in particular in itself. The stamp is to carry a likeness of Susan B. Anthony.

DONT BLAME SUN FORHOT WEATHER Scientist Says All-Time Rec- | ord for Solar Heat Here Set in Cold February. BY THOMAS R. HENRY. Don't blame the sun for this hot weather! It's a fact, vouched for by I. F.| Hand, in charge of the solar radiation | observatory of the weather bureau at American University on Nebraska avenue, that the all-time record for direct sun heat pouring on Wash= ington was established on February 9, 1934, which also happened to be one of the coldest Winter days in 20 | years. The record that day was 1.594 gram calories of solar heat per square cen- timeter per minute, Hand says. The average for Washington under the conditions of this measurement is 1.26. In Winter, Hand says, the air can't hold much water .vapor, especially with' temperatures below zero. Such temperatures usually occur with northwest winds brought in from snow-covered and dust-free Canada. Thus, the solar rays have relatively | free passage to the earth’s surface with relatively little absorption and scattering by water vapor and dust particles. On the other hand, in Midsummer the atmosphere is laden with much dust from the Great Plains and also contains a great deal of water vapor. Says Hand: Relative Humidity Low, “It is true that the relative humid- ity has been low during this hot spell, but the actual amount of water in the atmosphere has been many times that found in air of subzero temperatures. “Every one has come to expect the familiar ceremony of the attempt to fry eggs on pavements, or car tracks and other exposed spots during severe hot spells and the consensus seems to be that the direct heat from the sun must be far greater during such a period. However, this heat results during the shortest days. But in Sum- mer there is a lag of several weeks during which time the ground grad- ually warms up with increased height of sun and length of day. “During each hot spell all manner of reports of temperatures from 10 to 20 degrees higher than the official rec~ ords are reported. These do not rep- resent free air temperature at all, but rather are indicative of free air tem- perature plus an imperfect recording f solar radiation; imperfect because of various types of receiving surfaces, dif- ferent wind effects and many other factors, so that such readings are ab- solutely worthless. Cites Recent Teut. “For example, some years ago & standard thermometer was exposed in an instrument shelter and thus pro- tected from the direct rays of the sun while permitting free exposure to the air entering through the louvered sides of the shelter. With a non-absorb- ing white paint coat, the shelter ab- sorbed little radiation from the sun. “| With this exposure the thermometer read 106 degrees Fahrenheit. The thermometer then was placed directly in the sun’s rays, but protected from wind currents and the mercury soon rose to the 128-degree Fahrenheit mark. After blackening the bulb with | ordinary lamp black, the black-body ! absorption of radiation soon raised | the temperature of the mercury to 156 degrees Fahrenheit. It will thus | be seen that temperatures® recorded in a hit-and-miss fashion serve nnly\ to create extravagant discussion lnd\ conversation. “But the average man will say, “Well, aren't we out in the sun at times and shouldn't that temperature be recorded?” The answer is that a uniform procedure of determining temperature must be adopted and | the universal method throughout the HOME - civilized world is to measure free-air temperature in the shade. If gne wishes to know the effect of solar radiation he should consult records made by the Weather Bureau at its various solar stations throughout the country and then make allowance for the absorptive qualities of the surface in quemon.
