Most of the telegrams, it was said, urge action of some sort on the Presi- dent’s part. Some predict bloodshed and loss of life and property, unless there is intervention on the part of the Federal Government. The rest of the telegrams merely call attention to conditions and cer- tain overnight developments, and sug- gest certain forms of remedy or action on the Government's part. The President is studying all these communications carefully, referring them to ¢he Secretary of Labor and to other Government agencies if the con- tents suggest such a course.

He added that he saw one woman who evidently had een injured. She was being helped away, he said. The Utah Senator said he did not see any shots fired, although they could be heard on the sound track. He did not see pistols in the hands of police. He described a published account of the suppressed film as “exaggerated in places,” but fairly accurate on the whole. Senator Thomas said he thought Paramount was right in withdrawing the film from its exchanges, adding that it might have caused further trouble if shown to the general Public. La Follette Withholds Comment. Chairman La Follette would not comment on the film except to say that it revealed “a deplorable situa- tion.” He said he did not think as chairman of the committee he should pass judgment on the riot without more complete evidence. The chairman added that the com- mittee planned to make a complete investigation of the battle within a short time, hearing from numerous witnesses and probably viewing this film and perhaps others taken at the scene. It was learned that those under subpoena to appear before the com- mittee include several amateur pho- tographers who were at the scene. —_— Bomb Damages Plant. CAMDEN, N.

Quantitative Curb Favored. Japan would insist, this source said, that genuine arms reduction could be obtained only through a definite quan- titative curtailment. President Roosevelt was said to have initiated the proposed reduction through United States Ambassador Joseph W. Grew recently at the re- quest of Great Britain. Great Britain was reported to have felt Japan was more likely to agree to & limitation to 14-inch guns if a “last appeal” was made by the United States. ©On March 27 Japan formally refused a similar direct proposal made by Great Britain. Japan told Britain she would be unable to accept the limita- tion unless the United States as well as Britain agreed at the same time to reduce the size of larger ships. After Japan withdrew from last year's London Naval Conference the ensuing Anglo-American-French treaty allowed Japan until April 1 to say whether she would keep the caliber nf guns on her capital ships down to 14 inches. The Japanese refusal to accept a tri- power limitation of gun sizes, without & quantitative reduction in naval ton- nages on the part of the two other great sea powers, left the London pact signatories free to place 16-inch guns on the battleships. Tonnage Still Limited. ‘The pact, however, still limited the size of American, British and French capital ships to 35,000 tons, a restric- tion which did not apply to the Japa- nese.

Recommittal of President Roose- Vvelt's court reorganization bill, after a comparatively brief debate in the Senate, is the fate that looms now for that measure, Opponents of the bill believe that by such action the bill can be effectively killed. Once it has been recommitted, they do not expect it ever to come out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Some of the administration Senators believe that recommittal of the bill would not be a bad solution of their present difficulty; that it would break the legislative log jam at the Capitol, permit Congress to conclude its work and adjourn within a reasonable time, They realize that the President’s bill, in its original form, cannot pass the Senate—there is a majority against it. They realize, too, that any com- promise looking to the addition of any new members of the Supreme Court, even if it commanded a bare majority in the Senate, would be the subject of a prolonged filibuster that would keep the Senate here until October or later. Under such circum- stances they believe that a motion to recommit would be the best way out and rather a face-saving way for all concerned. Believed Strongest Move. A motion to recommit, it was ad- mitted by both sides to the controversy today, would be perhaps the strongest motion that the opposition could make | —would command more votes. While a number of the leaders of the opposition to the court bill have come around to the idea that the bill should be recommitted, there are some die- hards who would like to have the matter fought out on the floor of the Senate, even if it means a prolonged (See JUDICIARY, page A-4.) —_— 8 Japanese Flyers Killed. TOKIO, June 17 (#).—Eight Jap- anese naval flyers were killed today when two airplanes on a practice flight law do not represent reasonable deple- tion rates in the case of the designated | properties, but are much higher than the true depletion to which the tax- paver is fairly entitled. “‘Moreover, these provisions enable a taxpayer to obtain annual depletion deductions, notwithstanding the fact that he has already recovered the full cost of the property. The deduction is, therefore, a pure subsidy to a spe- cial class of taxpayers. For this rea- son the Treasury recommends that these provisions be eliminated, in order to put all taxpayers upon the same footing. “The annual loss of revenue from this source is estimated at between 50 and 100 million dolars. “(2) The divison of income be- tween husband and wife in the eight community property States: “In the community property States each spouse may report one-half of the community income even though it was all earned by and was expanded under the control of the husband This situation not only results in a large loss of revenue to the United States, but also operates most in- equitably as between spouses in com- munity and those in non-community pioperty States.
