UPHAN| RESIGNS
As c. D. P.
|. TREASURER
Other Changes Expected IN
National Committee Seen
as Coolidge Move
BY international News Service.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June A.
Fred w. Upham, treasurer or the
Republican national committee for
more than twenty years, mas re-
signed, it was announced mere
today.
His resignation becomes effective
upon the close of the national con-
yention here next week.
A successor will be chosen by the
committee prior to that time.
Announcement of Upham's resig-
nation was made ny William M.
Butler, campaign manager for Presl-
dent Coolidge, and soon to be the
new chairman of the national COM
mittee.
Has Been i'll.
During the past winter Mr..
Upham has been i'll and now finds
it imperative to refrain from, the
active and strenuous work in the
campaign, and occupy his summer
in rest and recuperation," said But
Ter. "Mr. Upham has served the
party long and faithfully and has
been singularly successful In the
performance of the many exactlng
duties of the office. His party owes
him a debt of gratitude"
Announcement of the retirement
of George B. Lockwood of Indiana,
as secretary of the national COM
mittee, also is expected.
Behind these changes in the
national committee Is seen the de-
termination of President Coolidge
and his principal advisers to effect
thoroughgoing reorganization OF
the committee and to mold 1t more
along Coolidge lines.
Three Powerful Factors.
The retirement of John T. Adams
of Iowa, as chairman, and Upham
and Lockwood will remove from the
committee the three main spokes OF
the committee wheel and the three
men who have been the committees
chief spokesman since the Harding
victory three years ago.
The committee has been not in
frequently at odds with White
House policy, particularly in the
matter of foreign relations. The
committee organization has specifi-
cally been opposed to the Hughes
world court program.

DEMANDS FAIRNESS
FOR SOUTH'S PORTS
SENATOR GEORGE FILES PRO
TEST AGAINST DISCRIMINA-
TION IN EXPORT RATES.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. w. F.
George, of Georgia, filed vigorous pro-
test with the recently reorganized
emergency fleet corporation because of
its failure and refusal to give South
Atlantic ports the same export rates
as North Atlantic ports. Senator
George said that this action by the
emergency fleet corporation will multi
fy export rates to southern ports on
large movements of European traffic
from central western points.
Senator George also protested to
the interstate commerce commission
against favorable consideration of the
petition filed by the Boston Chamber
of Commerce and allied associations OF
Boston and Massachusetts to inter
vene in the complaint OF the South At
lantic ports. The southern ports are
seeking to have import rates estab-
lished from those to the middle west
not in excess OF those maintained from
Baltimore and Norfolk 1t is believed
that great inroads would necessarily
be made into the volume OF commerce
passing through South Atlantic and
Georgia ports if the petition filed by
the Boston Chamber of Commerce and
allied associations OF Boston and
Massachusetts, is granted.

WASHINGTON STILL
TALKING TAX CUTS
CONGRESS MAY BE SPLIT
OVER NEW SURTAX FIGURES.
BONUS BILL PUZZLES.

Taxes and bonus for world war
soldiers are the two big questions be-
fore congress at the present time. Just
now taxes are in the lead as the big
gest of the two squestions, but efforts
are being made to join the two and
make one question out of them.
The tax reduction plan proposed by
Secretary OF the Treasury Mellon is
now in the hands of the house ways
and means committee, which is hold
ing public hearings on the plan, 1t is
expected that the bill will. be reported
to congress early in February.
The biggest hitch that will prevent
smooth sailing for the bill is disagree
ment over the amount OF the surtaX to
be applied to incomes of 100000 and
more. Secretary Mellon proposes to
reduce the income tax from so to rs
per cent on the larger incomes. A
number of democrats favor tax from
40 to As per cent. Some republicans
would place the figure at 81 and IS
per cent.
The Bonus Bill.
Republicans and democrats in favor
OF granting bonus to world war sol
diers are preparing to tack the bonus
to the tax bill as an amendment But
il is not believed that this idea will get
far because Of President Coolidge's
known opposition to any bonus meas
ure at this session
