the architects have. completely met
these requirements.
The plans are very compact. From
the front door one enters into

closet provided on one side.
The main stairs start up from the
living room, opposite the entrance;
while the cellar stairs go down from

as well as allowing access to the cell

provides space for the ice box, so the

LEADERS
PLANNING
AL|B|S
Seek to Clear Skirts In Event
Of Failure to Secure
Tax Reductions.

The greatest anxiety IL being
manifested gov by Congressional
Legislative and political leaders to
build up safe alihis for failure to
enact satisfactory tax reduction
Legislation.
Changes in House rules were de.
clared by Chairman Green Of the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee to raise one more stumbling
block in the way Of tax Legislation
by permitting chaotic amendments.
Unless the changes In rules were
made. Democratic leader Garrett
assured the House there could be
no tax reduction legislation passed
at this session because q majority
OF the House was insisting on the
right Of q chance to help fashion
the legislation.
Insurgents Insistent.
Insurgent Republicans made II
clear that unless they were given
opportunity to present to the House
their program Of tax revision and
reduction they would fight the en-.
tlre tax reduction program. Their
leaders Will insist on votes on an
excess profits tax, Increased in.
neritance and gift taxes and taxes
on incomes Of tax-exempt securities
even though assured OF defeat.
Public hearings on the tax re.
duction legislation, resumed today
by the House Ways and Means
committee, will be rushed to com.
plet1on by the end of the present
week II possible, Chairman Green
announced. The committee will
start then the work of writing the
bill. using the Mellon plan as the
Republican basis with the Garner
plan as that Of the fighting Demo.

Representatives Of twenty or
more interests are scheduled by
the committee to be heard TODAY.
They represent advocates of the

1t is hoped by Chairman Green to
close hearings and get the tax leg.
islation before the Ways and Means
Committee early next week for de-
cisions as to tax rates to be adopt.
ed and special taxes to be dropped.
This work will be done behind
closed doors. Green stated he in.
tended the Democratic members of
the committee should participate
with the Republican members in
this work.
Plan Is Innovation.
This Is an innovation in handling
tax bills. 1t has been customary for
the majority representatives on the
Ways and Means Committee to ban.
ish the minority party representa-
tives when the time came for rate
making, 80 that the bill when COM
pleted should present the tax views
Of the majority. The decision for
joint consideration of rates indicates
a direct bid for compromise by Re-
publicans with Democrats to shut
