SENATOR BORAH
POINTS TO NEED
TAX REDUCTION

Washington, Nov. 15-The first
broadside attack on the taxation pol
icy of Republican organization lead
ers in congress was made tonight by
Senator Borah, Republican. Idaho,
who declared that reduction of the
present tax burden was not only an
economic but moral necessity.
If the present plan of delaying such
reduction is carried out, he said.
in a formal statement, it may prove a
hazardous enterprise" for congress
to face it's constituency next year at
the polls. For the taxpayer. he as
serted, is showing a strong inclina-
ton ito turn upon his torturers."
Despite these signs of the times"
however, the senator added, lit is
certain that unless those favoring
reduction go to work on an affirm
ative program. the next session will
see taxes and public expenditures in
creased instead of curtailed."

SEATTLE. Wash, June 19.-Capt
RoaId Amundsen's proposal to fly
across the north pole was formulated
last year when the explorer was in
Norway in connection with the busi-
ness of his polar basin scientific ex-
pedition. 1t was originally intended
to make the flight last summer, but
unfavorable ice conditions caused a.
postponement.
Recent advices indicated that con-

said they were not surprised when
they learned that the proposed flight
had been abandoned.

fogs. The same conditions, it was be-
lieved, prevailed throughout the area
fringing on the Polar sea.

The Amundsen expedition, under
the auspices of the Norwegian gov
ernment. set out from Norway in 1918
to drift with the arctic ice pack from
off the northeastern coast of Siberia,
studying meteorological and ocean

The expedition met with some de-
lay in 1920 when the Maud, the ex-
ploration ship. lost a propeller Off the
Siberian coast and put into Seattle for
repairs after a successful navigation
of the northeast passage from west
to east. The Maud resumed the voy-
age last summer. and during the win
ter was reported north of Wrangell
Island. Infrequent radio messages
since have told Of the slow drift to
