WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-New reg
ulations concerning grazing fees in
national forests made public today
by the department. of agriculture
should, in the opinion of w. B. Gree
ley, chief forester, go a long way
toward allaying dissatisfaction with
the administration of national for~
ests on the part of stockmen.
Secretary Jardine announced the
new regulations. They give 10 year
permits, full force and effect of con-
tracts, provide for the organizing Of
local grazing boards and are design
ed to encourage individual allotments
where practicable Effective as Of
January 18 they affect all of the 16O
national forests.
In a statement, Greeley pointed OUT
that the new regulations did not go
as far toward establishment of per-
manent grazing rights as some users
of the range would like. While the

make changes at the expiration OF

TAX BILL SURE !

WASHINGTON Jan. 22.-The report
of the senate finance committee on
the tax reduction bill was submitted
to the senate today by Chairman
smoot, with assurances from him
and Senator Harrison democrat.
Mississippi, that it would be enacted
before the March Is income tax in
stallments are due.
Senator Norris, republican, Nebras-
ka, however, objected to haste.
+. "Will any great harm result?" he
asked, "if this bill is not passed by.
March Is? Can't taxes be rebated as
they were two years ago? 1t is alb
solutely unfair and unjust and al
most unheard of to force condition
that will make us pass this bill al
most at once"
"The American people want this
bill passed now" Senator smoot re-
piled. They'll demand it from one
end of the country to the other"
"The senator hasn't heard from the
people," Senator Norris retorted. "He
has just heard from the corporations,
the millionaires and the dead peoa
pies families who are the chief BEN
eficiaries of this measure"
Senator Harrison said the demo-
cratic members wished to offer some
amendments and wanted time to de-
bate, but favored early action.
There We're indications that the bill
would be taken up early next week
for general debate, along with con-
sideration of the world court, If ne-
cessary. The warning served by Sem
ator Norris, however, showed plainly
that the proposed repeal of inherl>
tance tax and income tax publicity
would be bitterly fought. The COM
mittee report emphasized its position
as favoring retirement OF the feder-
al government from thief ield of in
heritance taxation in favor of the
states.
Despite the compromise agreement
reached between republicans and
democrats in committed, the report
was signed only by the ten republi-
can members. Senator Simmons OF
North Carolina, ranking democrat on
the committee who sponsored the
minority's sub program, which was
adopted in part under the compro-
mise, announced that he agreed with
the conclusions of the bill but not
with some of the arguments.
Senator King of Utah, one of the
democratic committee members, an
nounced he would file separate re-
port opposing most of the provisions
and urging much greater tax reduc-
tion than the bill provided for. Sem
ator Jones of New Mexico, indicated
he would file a supplementary re-
port proposing modification of the
corporation tax on a graduated scale.

Shortly after the Swing-Johnson
Boulder canyon bill and interior sec
retary's proposals were taken under
advisement by the house irrigation
committee, Ahurst made it known he
would challenge the senate commit
tees right to consider the proposal
when it meets next week on the
ground that as revenue raising legis-
lation, it must originate in the house
1t was the contention of Ashurst
today that insofar as the Work plan
would finance the Boulder canyon,
flood control irrigation and power
project through bond issue of $l25,-
100000, it was revenue raising legis-
lation which must originate in the
house under the expressed provision
of the constitution
Members of the senate expressed
the belief that if Ashurst was sue
cessfuI in his challenge enactment of
the measure at this session of con-
gress would be virtually impossible.
Senator Johnson, republican, Cali
fornia, in a statement today announc-
ed that the work of Incorporating
the Works proposals in his measure
had been nearly completed and that
the revised measure probably would
be presented to the senate committee
next week.
The Work proposals were laid be-
fore the house committee today by
Chairman Smith and the suggestion
was made by Representative Swing,

ANOTHER EFFORT TO END COAL
STRIKE FAILS WHEN OPERATORS
TURN DOWN CONFERENCE PLAN
nv Dispatch A. P. wirq>

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. "a
Another effort to end the long
drawn out coal strike was shattered
today.
This time, it was the anthracite
operators who refused to go along
after the mine workers had con-
sented to go into another confer
ence to consider a plan of settle
ment as basis for negotiations.
All through the hard coal re-
gions, which have been suffering
from progressive paralysis of bust
ness during the long suspension, the
joyous report that a settlement was
about to be reached swept like
wildfire only to have the high hopes
of all concerned dashed by the de-
claration of the mine owners that
the peace plan was not acceptable.
The new plan was offered by the
Scranton Times The invitation of
the newspaper to Mayor w. w. Ing
lis, chairman of the operators nego-
tiating committee to comment on
the proposition brought a response
from him which was construed by
mine workers and others as favor
able to a renewal of negotiations.
President John L. Lewis, of the
United States Mine Workers, in a
letter to e. J. Lynett, publisher of
the Times, made public today, ex-
pressed his willingness to reenter
joint negotiations at the earliest
possible moment
The statement given out by the
press Representative of the opera

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-As far as
the department of justice is concerned,
United States Senator Burton K.
Wheeler, of Montana; Edwin $.
Booth, former solicitor for the de-
partment of the interior, and Gordon
Campbell, Montana oil operator, are
clear of charges growing out OF
their Joint Indictment on charges OF
conspiring to defraud the government
in obtaining oil prospecting permits.
The department of justice today not
only dropped proceedings against the
three men, but also announced IL
would not appeal from a decision OF
the District of Columbia supreme
court, which recently dismissed in
dictments involving fraud charges.
The announcement came from the
department formally today after At

tonight. The statement was brlef,

and Offering no comment. officials
o. the department, concerned with he
Wheeler prosecution, likewise had
nothing to say except that the ac-
tion appeared clear enough on it's
face" The indictments were thrown
out of court here on December 29 at
which time a demurrer, filed by
Senator Walsh of Montana, Wheeler's
counsel, was sustained. 1t had been
presumed here that the department
would seek a review of the court
ruling and might carry the case to
the supreme court, although some
department officials have contended
it would be futile to press prosecu-
tion further as result of the find

CLOTURE LOOMS
TO CUT DEBATE
ON WORLD COURT
(Ry Dispatch A. P. wirel


WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The long
threatened move for cloture on the
world court was made tonight in the
senate. 1t was followed by a bitter
debate of an hour, with signs at the
end that some sort of an unanimous
consent agreement to limit debate
without resort to cloture might yet
be reached.
Bearing the signature of 48 sena-
tors-24 from each side of the aisle
the petition for cloture was presented
by Senator Lenroot, republican, WIS.,
consin, leader of the pro-court forces.
Under the rules it must lay over for
one calendar day, so in no event can
a vote on it be had until next Mon
day
Administration leaders declared
they could muster at least 72 votes
for cloture, which upon it's adoption
would limit each senator to one
hour in the court debate. This num-
ber is more than the necessary two
thirds majority to invoke the limita>
tion rule.
The petition was presented after
an effort to bring about an unani-
nous consent agreement to limit de-
bate to 80 minutes for each senator
on each reservation, beginning FEB
ruary 10, had been blocked by Sena-
tor Blease, democrat, South Carolina.

He declined to comment upon bill
introduced today by representative
Cotton, republican, Utah, creating in
the department of agriculture graz
ing board with authority to fix graz
ing fees in the national forests The
fees would be dependent upon cattle
quotations in Chicago and Kansas
City markets. A similar bill cover
ing public lands administered by the
interior department recently was in
troduced by Cotton.
The change in permitting individual
allotments wherever practicable was
considered by Greeley as of great i'm
portance, in that it would encourage
individual initiative. Permitees would
find it possible, he said, to derive
personal and assured benefit from
such improvements to their ranges as
such development of water source
and elimination of poisonous plants.

morning at the County hospital.
A few hours later, after
thorough investigation of the shoot
ing by coroner's jury at the

charged with murder. The com

her reads that Eddie Lee Ware

Evidence advanced at the jury
hearing was along the same line as
that brought out by the police and
county officers in their preliminary
investigation Thursday night, fol-
lowing the shooting Jealousy of a
growing friendship between her hus-
band, Sergeant Ware, and the Helm
rich woman was the reason advanced
by Mrs. Ware for the shooting. She
is still confined in the city Jail but
following preliminary hearing
which it is believed she will waive,
will be taken to the county Jail to
await trial in the Superior court.
Despite a thorough search yes

points Of order of sections
carrying approximately 49,
100000 for new aircraft
construction during the
next fiscal year.
Those steering it's legislative
course were unable to guide the
measure to port before adjuorn-
men3, and tomorrow face a vote
on an amendment to eliminate an
other section to provide $3OO,OO0 for
the navy to contract with the Air
craft Development corporation, back
ed by Ford interests, for an all

The legislative sea was churned
up by an open breach between the
two house committees charged with
the handling of naval affairs, Chair
man Butler of the naval committee
charging the appropriations naval
subcommittee with, infringing on
the authority of his group.
Butler led the fight against the
appropriations for the new aircraft
on the ground that the expenditure
had not been authorized by his
committee, which under house rules,
has original jurisdiction in such mat
ters.
The chairman sustained him on
points of order against provisions
in the bill to appropriate $4,962,-
600 for new construction and pro-
curement of aircraft and sequip-
ment." and to authorize the secre-
tary of the navy to make contracts
up to $4,1OOOOO for other new equip
ment.
Representative French, republican,
Idaho, who headed the appropriations
naval subcommittee, opposed But
ler's contentious, holding that au-
thority for the expenditures had
been authorized under previous
laws, but was overruled in his
position by Representative Lehlbach,
republican, New Jersey, presiding.
Although it is not expected an
effort will be made to restore the
aircarft appropriations before final
passage of the BILL, it appears prob
able that Buffers committee will
authorize appropriation approximat-
