Until it does, it is impos- sible to say exactly what it will contain although the chances are that the measure will be some- whet short of the $792,000,000 requested by President Roosevelt for three years. Inasmuch as the President has insisted that appropriations, not included in the earlier budget, must be back- ed by new revenue, it is safe to assume that the Chief Executive will insist upon legislation to raise the full emount needed. Probably the House will stick to its own bill and the responsibility of meeting the full revenue pay- ment will be passed to the Sen- ate. Special Two weeks ago, the seven Re- publican members of the House Committee on Ways and Means walked out of the deliberations and left to the eighteen crats the task of writing the meas-| ure. Hearings before the mittee included attacks on proposed tax on undivided porations’ profits, launched com- the cor- by manufacturers, bankers and rep-' resentatives of the business world, who insisted that it would rporati nad dangerous to business stabili- On the other hand, Herman Oliphant, general counsel of the Treasury, termed the levy the “most important tax reform since new | Demo-! 1 peal of various acts wrecked ithe overthrow of the AAA. by Before Congress are the two Main measures of the President’s program—taxes and a number of routine s ‘The tax suggestion made by | President Roosevelt on March | 3rd, has been the cause of many headaches in Congress.

When the Chaco war started in :1932, Franco rejoined the army |and became commander of the :Ytotero regiment. Leading his \troops. sharing thirst and hunger j with his men, he became an idol.

Franco made invidious com- parisons between this reward for the commander and what the government did for the rank and file of the veterans. He became presidential candidate of a veter- ans’ organization and on February 5 the Ayala regime exiled him on charges of plotting against the government. st 12 days later young army officers and students deposed and imprisoned Aralz and called Franco back home Buenos Aires |to take charge of the govern- iment.
