LEVINE GROUP IS
 STRONGLY OPPOSED
Moscow District Communist
 Party Meets Today
By The Associated Press.

BY The AssnT1ated IfeNs.
 Moscow. Jan. 1.-The communist party conference of the Moscow CoN- ernmental district, which begins tp- day, is expected to hocomc hotly contested battle-ground hetweon thr Ieninitcs and the opposition group, This conference is preliminary tO tn" forthcoming couvocation of tho fed eral parties and is considered hy tho Moscow leaders to be Of the greatest importance. as it should give definite indication of Moscnw's position in the existing controversy.
 Both sides claim a ma aiori'y of tho Moscow communists. White tho op- position faction has found support among the employees of government institutions. the university students, the military academies and the com manding staff of the red army, the Lenine group contends that II has all the members ot the working class on its side supporting its principles of "rure holshcvism" as against the in telligentsia who constitute the onposi- tion. These so-called intrllcrtuals only joined the communist party dur ing the last five years,
 The Leninites assert that Moscow, Petrograd and most Of the provinces have turned down the opposition, which tries to gain the upper hand in the party by pushing the workmen into the background. The Lonine group holds big majority in the Moscow conference. and it is believed that il will surely obtain a prepon- derance of tho representation at the forthcoming federal convention, thus assuring a triumph Of its policy.

GERMANS TAKE
SAAR PROTEST
UP LEAGUE
Declare Presence of French
Troops Will Affect 15-Year
Plebiscite
is BEFORE THE COUNCIL

Geneva, June 11.-Germany has
protested to the League of Nations
against the presence of French
troops in the Saar valley, the Ger
man coal region, in which France
was given by the treaty of Ver-
sailles they exclusive right of coal
mine exploitation for Is years.
Sir Eric Drummond, general sec
retary of the League, laid the Ger
man note embodying this protest be-
fore the council of the league at
the opening session of that body to-
day.
Germany complains that the con-
tinued presence of French forces
will exercise an unfortunate moral
influence upon the plebiscite which
will decide the future of the Saar
valley at the end of the 15-year
period.
Germany requests the French oc-
cupation be brought to an end and
that local gendarmie be constitu-
ted to take the place of the French
forces in police duty. The note asks
the council to fix at once the date
for the withdrawal of the French
troops. The council postponed con-
sideration of the note until the Au-
gust session.

BANK BODY IS
CUT $1,950,000
ReOpening of Closed Banks
May Mean Other Deposi-
tors Will Gain TherefrOm
SEE NEW OPENINGS
Officials Confident Reopcning
of Banks Will Continue
Through Summer

Liability of the Guaranty Fund
Commission because of deposits in
closed banks has been reduced ST.
$4,000 by the reopening of banks in
the last three months, according to
a check of the aggregate deposits
of these banks as announced at the
time Of reopening. The reopening
of closed bank is regarded in Of
ficial circles as having marked
effect on the guaranty fund, since
the reduction of the liability may
mean also an increase in the amount
of money received by depositors.
A case now is pending in the su-
preme court in which the question
of whether the Guaranty Fund Com
mission shall pay depositors pro
rata at the time distribution of
funds is made, or shall pay them in
the order of the closing of banks.
No funds can be paid out until this
decision is rendered., the commits
sion holds. In the event the court
should rule that depositors shall be
reimbursed pro rata, the reduction

banks would mean an increase in the
amount of money each depositor
would get.
Confidence that reopenings of
banks will continue, expressed pre-
viously by state officials, members
of the Guaranty Fund Commission,
and officers of the Agricultural
Credit Corporation, which has aided
in the reopening of some banks, is
reiterated by c. B. Mcmillan and
M. R. Porter, members of the COM
mission. 1t is expected by them that
there will be 20 to 30 bank reopen
ings, scattered through the summer
and early fall months.
At the present time, it is known,
there are five banks which are ex-
pected to reopen within two weeks,
and several other banks expect to
reopen later. Applications from
boards of directors of many closed
banks, for the fixing of require
ments which would enable the
banks to reopen, have recently been
received from several banks.
The board, in special meeting
here yesterday and today, fixed re-
quirements for the reopening Of
about twelve banks.

CORPORATION
TAX RULING

/. B. e. Hitchcock, in charge of the
division Office of the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue here today made pub
lie the following announcement of
D. H. Blair, commissioner, Washing
ton:
"There appears to be misunder-
standing as to the amount of income
tax imposed upon corporations by the
Revenue Act of 1924. Your ,atten-
tion is directed to the fact that UNI
der the provisions of Section 23O of
the Act the income tax on corpor-
ations is 1912 per cent, which is
the same rate of tax applicable for
the taxable year 1928. Corporations,
therefore, are not permitted to take
as a credit any reduction in tax for
the payment due June Is, or any
subsequent installment date. The
credit of rs per cent is limited to
individuals, and fiduciaries who are
required to file returns on Forms
1040 or 1O40A."

The move by the Northwestern

unexpected proportions during the

A definite plan was made to
submit to President Coolidge the
name of any man selected by the
bloc, but it was declared by leaders
OF the movement that it had been
determined to accept the Pres

practicable. The states already
represented in the negotiations
are: Iowa, Colorado, Oklahoma,
Kansas, South Dakota, North Da-
kota, Nebraska, Montana, Idaho,
Wyoming, Minnesota, Missouri,

BONUS WORK
Is HELD UP
Lack of Funds Prevents Cause
Request For Opinion

Washington, June 11.-Govern-
ment plans for distribution of the
soldiers bonus upset by the failure
of congress to appropriate needed
funds, we're hung up on the legal
question whether the war and navy
departments and the Veterans Bu-
reau may use money appropriated
for general purposes.
President Coolidge has ordered
Director Lord of the budget to exert
every possible means of carrying
out the plans and the director had
a dozen conferences yesterday with
officials of the three arms of the
government which have charge of
the work.
The discussion apparently left the
problem uns0lved, although the war
department gave notices of its in
tention to go ahead, using unex-
pended balances from several activi-
ties and planning to have these
funds replaced when congress con-
venes next winter.
