The essential thing for a player

proved by Executive, Despite

.,y the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
MANILA, December 15.-Veto of &c
out of 110 bills passed by the recent
insullr Legislature was announced
yesterday by Acting Gov. Gen. Eugene
A. Gilmore.
Eighty three bills received his ap-
proval and one measure, providing
for workmen's compensation. will be
acted upon today. The governor gen
eral is expected to allow the compen-
satiOn bill to become a law without his
signature.
Most of the measures were vetoed
because the governor general found
them to be drafted faultily, a duplica-
ton of existing laws or contrary to
economy.
An administration measure for mod
ification of the interisland shipping
laws was approved by the executive,
notwithstanding that the Legisla ture
passed it by mistake and afterward re-
qucsted him to veto it,. A committee
appointed by the governor general last
July reported that some of the ships
were obsolete. were ineffectively man.
aged, that some were overloaded and
that rates were too high and discrimi-
natOry.

REED IS SILENT

HaWes Says Colleague Will
Not Be Allowed to Re-

Ry the Assnciated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Only silence, unusual in one noted
for quicknesS on the verbal tribber,
came from Senator Reed of Missouri
today to meet the fiat prediction of
his colleague, Senator HaweS, that
Reeds name would be presented to
the next Democratic convention as a
presidential candidate.
In the face of Reeds declnation to
announce his candidacy for either
the next Senate or the presidency
that he intended only to run for the
Senate, Senator Hawes said last night
there was no foundation for the re.
ported withdrawal from the presi.
dental race. He added that Reed
will not be permitted to withdraw.
The Senator, Halves declared
without having made any announce
ment, is "aS much of a candidate as
any man mentioned in either the Re-
publican or Democratic parties
Plans for a national Reed organi-
Zation are under way, Hawes said,
maintaining that even if his colleague
did enter the Senate race. that would
not indicate that his friends would
not press with vigor his nomination
for President"
These friends are daily receiving
new encouragement and were never
more hopeful of his nomination, he
said. adding:
1--WE need another Andrew Jackson.
Reed is his modern counterpart. This
fact is sinking into the conscience
of men and bringing new strength
daily. The people of Missouri and
of the United States are making him

Before final action on the bill the
House also participated in a round of
discussion of the recent charges of
Rear Admiral Magruder against what
he described as waste and inefficiency

Representative McClintic of Okla
homa, q Democrat, on the naval com
mittee, presented from the floor a
resolution proposing creation of a

HOUSE TAX DEBATE
TO CLOSE TONIGHT
Consideration of Measure by
Paragraphs Due to Begin
Next Week.

General debate is to close tonight
on the S323,735 900 taXreduction bill
which the House took up yesterday
afternoon and debated for more than
two hours. This agreement, reached
by leaders on both sides of the House,
clears the way for consideration of
the measure by paragraphs early next
week, with an opportunity to present
amendments from the floor.
A number of members arc expected
to call for changes in various provi-
sions, but there is little likelihood that
their efforts, except in perhaps few
cases, will prove SucceSSful.
Chairman Green of the ways ana
means committee, which whipped the
bill into shape before Congress con-
yened. opened debate on it yesterday,
explaining that every effort had been
made toward simplifying the admins
tration of the revenue law.
Green did not make reference to
the possible fate of the measure either
in the House or later in the Senate,
as was done by Representative Car
ner of Texas, senior Democrat on the
committee, who predicted the Sena-
tors would boost the cut from its
Views Set Forth.
The chairman confined his remarks
entirely to explaining the viewpoint OF
the ways and means committee IN
recommending the bill as it is. lie
pointed out the committee had gone
on record against any cut in excess
Of $3.50 900, 900 and that every effort
had been made by it's majority to hold
the proposed reduction as near as pos
sible to the maximum of $225,0O0,0o0
set by the Treasury.
1t was felt, the chairman continued,
that the corporation tax, which has
not been reduced since the war, should
receive first consideration, and for this
reason the rate on corporation IN
comes should be cut from 1312 to IL II
per cent He added that the Federal
income tax and the present rates on
incomes within the intermediate
brackets had not been touched, as the
committee believed they were equita
BILE and should remain as they are.
Mr.. Green also touched briefly upon
the committees recommendation to
reduce from 3 to / y per cent the tax
on automobile sales. In referring to
other reductions. which include 81
an increase from IS cents to ST in the
exemption granted on admission tick
cts, he said the committee regarded
these changes as equitable.
Mr.. Garner at the outset of his re-
marks said that Green had pictured
ably the various aspects of the reve-
nue bill, but that he had a reverse
picture to give. The Texan attacked
what he said was a practice by the
Senate of unnecessarily amending bills
that originated in the House, predict
ing that tax legislation would be COM
plicated and hindered by Senate ac-
tivities after it had left the House.
Urges Mellon for President.
Holding that Secretary Mellon was
the strongest man in this country, by
virtue of his financial position. and
almost controls the economic situation
of the world. Garner suggested to the
Republicans: IF you are going to
nominate President to carry out the
present administration policies you
could not get a better man than
Andrew w. Mellon.
