today in a resolution offered by Con-

and report what action should be TAX
en- in connection with the matter. IN
submitting the resolution Mr.. Per-
kins said: Il do not believe in over
sensitiveness to unfavorable criticism,
whether, upon an individual or upon a
public body, but while there may be
undue sensitiveness, so also there
may be undue obtuseness, which might
argue a lack of self-respect." The
statements made by the president
cannot be lightly diregarded.'
