his brother-in-law. He was then
representative Of the National
Catholic Welfare Council attached to
the commission, with representatives
from practically all other religious
denominations. Rev. Edmund A.

On the eve of the second great ex-

Many Of the new ALLEGATIONS will MT

of Admiral Bullard in his recommen-
dations for clearing up interference.
The Seveptieth Congress Will come
into being next Monday, with changes
and amendments in the present radlo
legislation certain to be one OF the
main problems before it. Meanwhile
the four commissioners-E.O y. sykes
of Mississippi. o. H. Caldwell OF New
York. Sam Pickard of Kansas ana
Harold A. La Fount of Utah-will be
scattered throughout the country,
looking over the situation in the ols-
ericts they represent in its reiatlon
to national broadcasting.
Hundreds of complaints of 1nterfer-
ence and congestion in the ether lanes
now lie before the commission. Hun
Treds more have gone to members or
Congress, and the legislative body, ac-
cording to those in touch with the
radio situation, is certain to flnd cause
to call members of the commission be-
fore it for explanations of the appar-
ent dissatisfaction.
Already advocates Of amended radio
legislation are pushing proposals Tor
extending the life Of the Radio Com
mission beyond the present statutory
period Of one year. Many other pro-
posals aimed to improve radio service
are in the air and are certain to find
reflection in Congress, while the men
who can explain the situation will be
many miles from Washington.

Madden Favors $50, 1000. 900.
Somewhat similar line Of reasoning
has from time to time been expressed
by Representative Madden of Illinois,
chairman Of the House appropriations
committee, who wants to leave mar
gin of $50,000,000 for surplus each
year. but who wants everything above
that automatically to go back to the
taxpayers as a refund
The Chamber of Commerce view
point Is in line with what Senator
Simmons. Democrat, and Representa-
tive MAIDEN, Republican, have been
advocating. The chamber insists that
the whole question Of fiscal policy
should get non-partisan consideration.
But the chamber Is definitely out of
harmony with the Republican admin
istration on this point at least and
the full effect Of it's position will be
noted when the Republican member
ship Of both houses Is petitioned by
constituent ~
and business organizations to reduce
the taxes materially and let the sur

The whole controversy foreshadows
less and less influence by the exec.
utive branch in controlling the action
OF Congress on fiscal policy this year
as the demands of most of the groups
are for greater tax reduction rather
than more debt retirement.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

IF the referendum Of the Chamber of
Commerce Of the United States repre-
sents organized business then the Re-
publican administration has lost its
biggest ally on fiscal policy.
For six years the Harding Coolidge
regime, guided by Secretary Mellon,
has succeeded in applying all sur
pluses above the annual 1000, 900
of sinking fund to the retirement of
public debt. The Chamber of Com.
merce Of the United States, after it's
recent referendum advocating a $400,-
00O,000 tax cut, aroused the ire of
President Coolidge, but notwithstand-
ing this Lewis Pierson, president of
the chamber and chairman of the
board of the American Irving Ex-
change National Bank, now has listed
a pronouncement that the chamber
Is committed to policy which is ex-
pressed as follows:
National expenditures properly
planned and controlled by the national
budget
statutory requirements for reduc-
ton of annual debt The chamber
is opposed to all measures Of taxa
ton in excess Of these requirements" !"
The full meaning of this statement
is that what the Democrats imposed
back in 1918, namely the payment an
nually of sinking fund Of $780,
100000 and interest on the public debt
is considered all that is necessary.
Contention of Simmons.
This has been the repeated conten-
tion of Senator Simmons of North
Carolina, ranking Democrat of the
Senate finance committee, but his
viewpoint has been vigorously opposed
by the Republican administration at
the Treasury and in Congress. For
several years all surpluses have been
used to retire part of the public
debt. Tax rates have never been re-
duced sufficiently to avoid surplus,
but usually to assure payment be-
yond the $250,000,000 sinking fund.

By the Associated Press
A revision of the present electoral
college s. stem to give the people a
direct vote for President is proposed
in a resolution which Representative
Lea, Democrat of California, said
today he planned to introduce in the

BY revising the election provisions
of the Constitution, Mr.. Lea declared
his resolution would have each State
retain it's present electoral vote, but
each candidate would be given such
proportion of the electoral vote as
his popular vote might bear to the
States total vote for all candidates.
The present bethod. he explained,
is a unit rule of the electoral votes
for the majority candidate and be-
cause of this system the minority can
didate gets no credit for the votes
cast for him. He would have the
votes of each State certified to Con-
gress for canvassing.
