PUBLIC 'CLAMOR"
 MUST BE HEEDED
 IS BORAH WARNING
Idaho sSenator Introduces Resolution to Cut Army to 100000 and Makes
 Other Suggestions
By Associated press

Washington, August 5.--A warning to republican leaders against increas- ing taxes in revising the internal revenue bill was given in the Senate today by Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, who also proposed reductions in army and navy expenditures Of nearly s500.0Oo, 900. The republican membership in Congress- he said, would be reduced if the public clam orr for tax relief was not met.
 The Idaho senator introduced a resolution to reduce the army from 15O, 900 to 100000 mch which he said would effect saving of about $1e0,000,000 and asked the naval com mittee to report a resolution of Sena- tor King, democrat, Utah. to stop work on- six battleships of the In diana type. Little has been done on the construction of these battleships, he explained, adding that by stopping the work. s240.000,O0 could be saved. Another load of s1.OO0,O00 month could be saved, he contended, by withdrawing American troops from Germany in accordance with the sol emn pledge" of republicans during the presidential campaign
 In urging such steps, Senator Borah argued that the army and navy were the only places where economies could be affected sufficient to meet the recommendation of Secretary Mellon on taxation to the House ways and means committee.
 T know of no other way he said. We can cut expenses here and there and dismiss few employees, but tha. will not reduce expenses to the point that the secretary of the treasury says we must Go."
 Congress the Senator said, could not alone reduce expenditures This requires, he declared. hearty CO operL ation' from executive departments and the administration. The Senate, he continued. would have cut the army to 100000 men and topped off slc0,o0o,000 from the naval appro- priation bill recently passed if cabi- net officers had not objected

 Past Two Weeks
By Associated Press

Washington, August 5.-Final ac- ton by the Senate finance commit tee on the Fordney tariff bill ap- peared tonight to be farther away than at any time since the measure was turned over to It two weeks ago. There were no signs that the com mittee would be ready for some days to enter into executive consideration of the two controversial phases of the bill--American valuation and the dye embargo-and no hearings have been held or study given yet to rates and other provisions
 Indications that senators will de- mand figures on production costs and profits and multitude of other de- tai of the dye and chemical indus try developed eSenator LaFollette said he had prepared list of ques- tions covering such subjects and pro posed to propound them to all wit nesses
 Chairman Penross had. plauned early in the week to begin executive sessions next Thursday. The dye embargo controversy, however, has dave oped so much discussion that 1t was said the testimony will proba- ply mo- te concluded by that time.
 Tho coniipittee today heard Joseph H. Choate, Jr.. spok esmau for the dye and chemical interests. seeking an embargo aad in addition to others tGranville Mcfarland of Boston att i1orney for the Amoskeag Mi lsf of New Hampshire who spoke In oppo- sitlon to any form of an embargo. An takonism between the two sides was shown frequently during the day.

Senator Smooi, republican Utah. who read the statement. explained that it showed expenses of sl04,O0O for "Iobbyine." and that MT. Choate had been paid more than ,25,00O for services fast year.
 H. A. Metz, dye manufacturer and importer cf New York, was re- called to the stand to submit a list of assessments on members of the in- stltute. Although opposed to an em- bargo to which the institute is com mitted, MT. Metz praised the organi- zation for having done much good work"

ALABAMA WILL BE TARGET FOR BOMB
 WEIGHING Z TONS
Army Pliers Hope to Add New Chapter to Inter Service Controversy Regarding
 Efficacy of Bombs
By Associated Press

Washington, August 5.--An inde- pendent bombing enterprise against naval craft is being planned by the army air service. The old battleship Alabama as target, and using mis- .siles up to 4,oo0 pounds in weight, the army flyers hope to add new chapter to the interserv,ce controver- sy which recently resulted In de- struction from the air Of number of former German war vessels.
 The Alabama was selected for the victim, following request of the army for target ship. Acting Secretary Roosevelt has announced that the navy department Is dismantling the vessel, and will be ready to turn her over to the land and air warriors about September l.
 With the event exclusively an army affair, it was said today that efforts would be made to stimulate actual battle conditions when the Alabama comes under fife. For that purpose the army asked that the ship be turned over in seagoing shape, abso lutely watertisht. bulkheads sound, steam in her boilers and ventilating and communication systems in work ing order. Request also was made that her magazines be filled with full loads of powder and that in all re- spects save her useful offensive arm ament, which is being salvaged, she be ready for action.
 To Test New Projects
 air attacks at sea. Everything from the 300-pound bomb. similar to those first rained on the German dread naught Ostfriesland, to missiles dou- ble the size of the 200-podnders which sent her down will be em- ployed it was said, and in addition new smoke and gas bombs will be hurled at her decks from above. Sev- erai new projects of the chemical warfare service are to be tested out against the Alabama, and penetr itive qualities of the gases will be meas- ured by the means of the ventilation system cn the shipg
 The air service also plans to at- tack the Alabama with torpedo planes. In this phase naval airmen may be asked to participate, it was said, as development of the air tor pedoes is regarded as fully important.
 The protective decks are about the thickness as on the German craft.

SENATOR'S BLAMED
 BY HARDING FOR
 FARMERS PLIGHT.
Those CritiCiSing Federal Re- serve Ones Who Urged the Farmers to Hold Cotton,
 Declares Governor
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau The AEe- II erald
 300 Davidson Building

Washington. August 5.-(Special) w. P. G. Harding, governor of the federal reserve board, proceeded to- day before the joint congressional committee inquiring into agricultural conditions, against his Senatorial critics.
 He held them, rather than any policy of the board, responsible for the fact that farmers did not sell their cotton in 1920 when the market value was high, and when they could have disposed of their crop, at least, without loss.
 Everybody aware of the condition of the world when the foreign market was closed against the exportation of cotton, a crop of 50 per cent Of which is dependent on exportation knew that the price of cotton must fall" he said.
 And yet, those who have severely criticized the board, urged the farm CTS to hold their cotton when there was absolutely no chance of them doing so with the hope of profit"
 Governor Harding had reference to Senator Heflin of Alabama, Senator Smith of South Carolina, and other members of the agrarian bloc who, after urging the farmers to hold, and predicting higher prices, criticized the reserve board and it's governor. No names were called, but the witness, when asked after his testimony, did not deny that he had these senators in mind.
 Urged Cotton Selling
 The witness declared that in 1920 he believed that the farmers should sell their best grade cotton in order to be able to hold their low grade for which there was no market. He read extensive correspondence eX- changed by him and J. s. Wanna maker, president of the American Cotton association, in which he sug- gested that the farmers be urged to sell There is no evidence, he added | that Wannamaker took his advice. The witness referred to recom- nendation by the board that Congress change the national banking laws so as to give more elasticity to the lend | ing power of banks. which recommen- dation was accepted, and when, ne declared, had resulted in much good
 But none of eur critics" he e&- claimed in a loud voice, have had the decency to refer to that service which we rendered.
 Senator Harrison of Mississippi, in endeavoring to indicate that certain statements by the board had depress- ed the value of cotton, caused the witness to discuss national politics. Tt seems that Senator Harrison, last fall, spoke to tho witness of the good effect which a lowering of discount rates would have on| the democratic situation.
 I've could not follow the sugges- tion," said Governor Harding In January of this year, l encountereo Governor Cox at a reception. He told

 Washington, August b.-(Sp eci1l.) At the conclusion of the stormlsst session ever held by doctors in Wash .ington. health officers of southern states adopted today resolutions to the effect that there Is neither star vation nor threatened pellagro epi- demic below the Mason and Dixon line.
 It was only with great reluctance that the resolutions committee was Idissuaded from a purpose to include in the resolutions warm censure for the public health service, and ex- presslon of strong regret that the President, by the representations of the service, had been swept off his feet.
 Hugh S. Cumming, surgeon general, sat for two days in the midst of the irate health officers without expses- noon. when he thanked the commit tee for the inclusion In it's resolu- tions of compliments to his energy.
 As result of the unanimous con- tradiction by the health officers of the Presidents statement regar1i lg famine and plague in the south, 1t IS regarded as probable that the Presi- dent will abandon his proposed in- quiry Into such alleged conditions.
