MELLON TAX CUT
BACKED BY T|LSON
House Leader Joins Secre'
tary in Keeping Reduction
Down to s225,00O,0 900.

Administration leaders have set up
a stop sign for Congress on just how
far it is safe to proceed along the road
way for tax reduction to keep within
the safe limit figured by the Treasury
Department.
At the Capitol. Representative Til
son. the Republican House leader,
hacked up the Treasury recommends
tion for a cut not in excess of $225,-
600 600 and at the department itself
Secretary Mellon reiterated that the
Treasury figure represented the maxi
mum slice that could be effected with
safety.
While Tilson and the Secretary
withheld specific reference to the an
nouncement by the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States reiterating
it's belief that reduction of $400,O00,-
600 should be authorized. both con-
tended that it would be dangerous if
Congress exceeded the limit proposed
hv the Treasury and favored by Presi.
dent Coolidge.
Secretary Mellon said that he be
lieved the corporation tax. now 1872
per cent. was too high and should be
reduced as soon as possible, even be-
low the 11t3 per cent figure approved
by the House ways and means commit
tee for incorporation in the new tax
bill that it has drafted.
The Treasury favors an immediate
cut in the corporation rate to II per
cent, but Mr., Mellon indicated that
his department did not regard the
forthcoming tax reduction as the last
to be recommended and that this levy
probably would come in for more con-
sideration in a future tax bill.

THE VATICAN CHOIRS.

That famous choral organization
known as the Vatican Choirs was
presented under the auspices Of the
Roman Polyphonic Society in a con-
cert at Polls Theater yesterday aft
ernoon before an audience which
filed the house to capacity, even
standing room. The program was
given as a benefit performance for
st. Roses Technical School of this
city. and high officials of the Roman
Catholic Church were in the audi
enCe.
The leader of the choirs, Rt. Rev.
Mgr. Raffaele Casimiro Casimir, is
an authority on the music of the
ancient Palestrina and also a COM
poser of considerable gifts. His easy
command of the group of so singers,
including boys as young as years
of age was one of the marvels OF
the afternoon. Also. his own COM
position, the one secular number on
the program and modestly placed at
the very end. proved to be one of
the most delightful. melodious canta-
tas heard in a long time. The sub
icct is al Mare" and the changeful-
ness, the restlessness yet withal the
basic rolling rhythms of recurring
tides of the sea provided the tempo
suggestions and programmatic ma
ter:al upon which the composer bullt
skillfully. And how lovely the Italian
words We're which so completely
suited the musical setting as ar
ranged for six mixed. voices.
Earlier in the day the choirs had
chanted a requiem over the tomb or
the Unknown Soldier, at Arlington,
and had sung for the President and
Mrs. Coolidge. II is interesting to
reflect that Vatican cholrs nave been
singing for hundreds of years and
that such music masters as Mozart
and Mendelssohn went to the Vatican
in their time to hear the remarkable
rendition of sacred music a capella.
There is one beautiful. fiutelike boy
soprano voice, and there are many
basses of rich depth in this group
that sang Yesterday. OF course, all
their selections were capella. There
were times when their forte passages
were of fierce ruggedness and others
when the softest notes were sung
with beautiful precision and rounded,
unified accord. There was perhaps
nothing during the entire afternoon
more lovely than Victoria's ave
Maria" for five voices, or the finale.
Palestrina's ''Alleluia," both of which
were extra numbers. There was dra
matte fire in the "Miserere Mel. Deus.
ct Salve Me" of Pedestrians respon-
sorry for the office for the dead, when
the attack was vivid, sure of pitch
and concentrated in poignant music.
The beautiful, impressively sung
"Credo" of Palestrina won the warm
est applause of the afternoon, amount
ing to an ovation, which leader and
choirs acknowledged with modest,
graceful bows. The entire program
was presented with conviction and in
teresting handling of beautiful voices.

RUMAN|A MAY GET

Premier and Officials Confer
on Plans for Change in

BUCHAREST, Rumania, December
1.-Recognizing that the sentiment of
the country demands a change in the
government. Nintilia Bratianu, who
assumed the premiership on the death
of his brother, Ion Bratianu. conferred
with julius Maniu, leader of the Ma
tional Peasant party. for two hours
last nieht in a renewed effort TO reach
q basis for the formation of coali-
tion ministry. 1t is considered highly
improbable, however, that Manu- Will
accept the premiers conditions.
The conference, which created enor-
nous interest, was held at the home
of NJ. Titulescu, the foreign minister,
whose steadily improving health en-
abled him. as we'll as NJ Duca. min
lister OF the interior, to participate.
General Plans Offered.
The premier presented several al
Tentative proposals. The principal
proposal was collaborat ton Of the pres
ent government with the Peasant
+, party without dissolution of Parlia'
n,ent. which would envisaee at least
six portfolios for representatives of
the Peasant party. 4 second pro-
posal was collaboration. with dlssolu-
ticn of Parliament, new elections to
be held after a fixed period under a
coalition cabinet with a neutral head,
but with the proportion of seats in
Parliament fixed before the elections
and with all the parties represented
IN proportion to their strength.
NJ Bratianu will submit these and
other proposals in writing immedi-
ately, and after comforting with his
associates today, NJ. Manu- will for
mally reply.
on the best of authority it can be
said however, that Maniu's conditions
remain unchanged dissolution of
Parliament after the first year, the
formation of a coalition cabinet with
n neutral head to insure elections free
from fraud, intimidation and violence
and. finally, an absolutely honest
count of votes.
Plans Sweeping Changes.

is considered strong possibility, Al

MANU-, who enjoys great popularity
and confidence among the peasantry,
comprising three. .fourths of the popula-
tion, will make sweeping reforms IN

In conversation with the correspond

he said in such event he would, first
of all, abolish the censorship and re-
establish liberty of the individual and
the press and would allow peaceful
political assembly, which is at pres

open public opinion, which he declared
had been crushed.
Furthermore, he would abolish the

Louisiana's Sugar Bowl" Today Fears for Worst More Than 100000 Are in Threatened Area.

New Orleans, La., May 13 R - Suspense blanketed Louisiana's sugar bowl" today as rising flood waters crept toward the top of the Bayou Des Glaises levees where for three days a crevasse has been ex- pected.
 Hampered in their efforts to raise the dykes yesterday because of rain. determined residents and volunteers from other sections still were waging a desperate fight to hold the Big Bend levees against the steadily rising waters, which trickled over the top in spots late yesterday.
 The menaced area is about 15o miles northwest of New Orleans by airline. The levees are in the At chafalaya river basin and in the event of break most of the wa ter is expected 10 flow through that basin and not affect the Mis- sissippi river.
 A collapse yesterday in the hastily constructed levee on Bayou Rouge was not expected to ma terially change the situation in the Big Bend district. This crevasse was reported to be a mile wide. Water from two to three feet deep was pouring through 1t. but en- gineers stated that its effect would be more or less local, inundating probably not more than 25 miles, before natural drainage carried it to streams In the section.
 The protection levee at Cotton port was not expected to hold and the 1000 residents were to be evacuated to concentration points before nightfall.
 Telephone communication with the area was severed last night. All reports received came by wire less. Efforts were being made to re-establish telephone communica- ton today, however, so that levee officials and flood relief headquar- ters at Baton Rouge might keep in touch with the situation.
