RUSSIA TO TAKE
PART In RADIO
WEEK TESTING
Cry Dispatch A. P. wire>

NEW YORK, jan. 19.-Russian par
ticipation in the international radio
broadcast tests next week will be
welcomed it was said today by the
Radio Week committees. Arrange
ments will be f4fss&Ie to have stations
in South America, Canada and the
United States try to reach Leningrad
and Moscow.
At least eight stations on tn.
North American continent should be
audible in Russia, unless a sunrise
intervenes, L. A. Nixon, executive
secretary of the committee, said. Dis
tance broadcasting, he asserted, to be
successful, must be done in darkness
and the location of Russia makes
this difficult
The committee believes, however
that if Russian listeners tune in be-
tween II and 12 p. m. New York
time, from Sunday to Thursday dur
ing radio week, they will hear one
or more of the powerful North Amer
lean stations. The committee will
also ask stations in Peru, and other
South American countries to try to
reach Leningrad and Moscow.
Station CNEA of Moncton, N. B. is
the nearest to Russia. other stations
likely to reach there are woo, Dav-
export, Ia; WA, New York; expert
mental station 2XAR, New York,
WLW, Cincinnati; WGY, Schenectady;
WOR, New York, and WEAF, New
York
In their Saturday programs, WOR
and woo will make announcement
in Russian and the committee will
take steps to have other stations do
the same.
The committee was notified today
by the Mexican consulate that Presi-
dent Gales of Mexico has officially
approved of his country's participa
tion in the tests. 1t was also in
formed by the department of educa-
tino in Mexico City that its station
CZE the largest in Mexico, will CO.
operate with special program.

SENATOR'S SEEK

AN Dlspatch A. 2. Who


WASHINGTON jan 19.-Laying
under which senate debate on the
world court would be limited pro-
ponents of American membership in
that tribunal opened negotiations
today with the opposition looking to
an agreement for a nebate on which
a vote may be had.
Leaders on both sides said the
discussion still was in the prelim-
mary stage Some expressed the
hope, however, that an agreement
could be reached so that it would
be necessary to undertake enforce
ment of the cloture rule. Negotia-
tions for an agreement were in
auguarted after the opposition had
brought forward two of their big
gest guns, Senators Johnson, repub-
lican, California and Reed, democrat,
Missouri. Both vigorously assailed
the court before crowded galleries
In opening the discussion Senator
Johnson declared that the court was
part of the league of nations and
that if the United States was going
into the league it should go in by
the front door and not by the side
entrance or by way of a trap door.
After Senators Mckinley, republi-
can, Illinois and Heflin, democrat,
Alabama, had made brief addresses
favoring American adhesion to the
court protocol, Senator Reed began
his speech. He talked for more than
an hour and then obtained unani-
nous consent to have read into the
record an article written in 1898 by
Andrew Carnegie, who was des-
cribed by Senator Reed as the au-
thor and his money as the source
of the present movement for "Ameri
can participation in European af-
fairs"
The reading by the clerk went on
for an hour and half and the re-
publican leaders. absent from the
chamber when the unanimous con-
sent was obtained made no effort
to conceal their chagrin upon their
return to the senate floor.

A blood clOt which developed Serl-
ously only Monday was the direct
cause of death, which came practi-
cally without warning to the noble
figure who had faced it with courage
and indomitable will SO many times
on the battlefield. Mrs. Greenway
was at her husbands bedside when
the end came. Their son, who is
now about Is months old, is in the
care of a nurse at Santa Barbara,
California, site of the .Greenway's s
winter home.
The former general manager of the
Calumet and Arizona Mining COM
pany left Ajo for New York a week
ago Friday night to submit to the
operation which resulted in his death.
Friends who were with him preced-
ing his departure state that there
was no fear in his heart as to the
possible outcome of the operation and
absolutely no thought of death. AS
far as can be learned, the operation
was successful and General Green
way was recovering rapidly when a
blood clot formed, gradually bring
ing him close to deaths door late
Monday.
Funeral services will be held in
Ajo, probably Monday, although defi-
mite word was not obtainable last
night. The body is being shipped
from New York today
Confirmation of reports that Gem
eral Greenway was to resign as gem
eral manager of the Calumet and
Arizona Mining company was given
to the press on May % of last year.
Notice that Harry A. Clark, then
smelter superintendent in this city
for the c. and A, had succeeded
Greenway, was formally announced
on June 10.
No reason for Greenway's decision
to resign was given by him at that
time after he had held the post of
general manager for Is years. Rum
ors were rife at intervals thereafter
that he would look favorably upon
a nomination for governor of Ari-
IONA on the democratic ticket but
these Were never confirmed and he
never publicly indicated that there
was any basis for them.
Among the numerous accomplish
ments to his credit is the building
of the first teaching plant in North
America, and the SucceSSIul develop
ment of what is now known the
world over as the Greenway Turbo,
washer. In his earlier fields of en-
deavor, General Greenway did much
toward the development of mining in
the Mesabi Range in Minnesota, talk
ing the general superintendency of
the oliver Iron Mining company in
1906. He had complete charge of the
development of the Great Northern
Ore lands optioned by that company,
calling for the production of over
eight million tons of ore per year. !
He built five towns, Coleraine, Mar !
BILE and Taconite, in Minnesota, AJo
in Arizona, and Los Lamentos, Chi
huahua, Mexico, where the Ahumada
and Erupcion companies are located. !
Included in his more recent accom- !
plishments in the mining, word is |
the successful development of the
Calumet and Arizona properties in !

! 1t was stated at the White House
that, while President Coolidge was
in favor of retirement Of the federal
government from the field of inher-
itance taxation in favor of the states,
he was not prepared to state whether
the time had come for repeal ct the
federal levy, as proposed by the bill.
Compilation of estimates on the
total reduction provided for in the
bill meanwhile, brought quick alarm
from the treasury when it was dis
closed that the measure would make
a slash Of almost $4OO,OO0,000 in the
nations revenues this year. The
senate finance committee was i'm
mediately called into session. and
dividing on party lines, the repub-
licans voted to increase the corpora
ton tax to 13 IL per cent, effective
upon enactment of the bill into law.
The committee previously had voted
to increase this levy from IL IL to
10 per cent on taxes paid this year
and to 13 1-2 per cent next year
to offset the loss of revenue ex-
pected from the proposed repeal OF
the capital stock tax. By making
the rate 13 1-2 per cent Immediately
Chairman Smoot estimated this would
yield $43,0OO,0OO additional revenue
his year.
Even this excess over the $4,000
900 limit approved by Secretary Mel
Ion was frowned upon by the presi-
dent who felt that, while the treas
ury might stand the addition reduc-
tion, difficulties might be encount-
cred if there was a depression in
business which would result in a de-
crease in government revenues.
Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
ranking democrat on the committee,
that he would propose to
THE senate that it meet any tax re-
duction above the treasury surplus
by amendment of the sinking fund
provisions rather than through in
creases in taxes.
A study of the effect of the COM
promise between republicans and
democrats for adoption of Senator
Simmons prposal to increase the
reduction provided by the house bill
on the surtax rates applying on in
comes between $4,000 and 100000
showed today that it provided for an
additional cut of $23,OOO,OO instead
by Chairman Smoot.
The chairman announced he would
report the. bill to the senate toner
row and ask for its consideration by
next Monday unless an agreement
had been reached, meanwhile, for
vote on the world court.
