SOLONS RUSH
TAXCUTB Bill
Senate Hopes Fin a ]
Action to be Taken
Next Week

WASHINGTON, May 5.-LR)-Ap-
proving more than two score nom
controversial changes made by the
finance committee in the house tax
reduction bill, the senate cleared
the way today for ar early decision
on the rate revision FIGHT.
In its first actual work on the
bill, the senate literally swept
through the long list Of committee
amendments, putting aside all re-
lating TO rates but approving with
out any debate a number of changes
in the administration provisions.
Enthusiastic over the rapid prog
ress, leaders confidently predicted
final action on the bill next week.
Both republicans and democrats have
put their case before the senate, the
former asking a 5000. 000, 900 limita-
ton on the tax reduction compared
with the $3.50. 000. 1000 house bill. and
democrats demanding a 1925, 000, 900
cut.
The issue is we'll defined and both
sides appear ready for a vote. II
will bring about the first straight
out party division in the senate this
season and is eagerly awaited be-
cause of the almost equal member
ship in both ranks.
Considerable argument is in sight,
however, over the proposal OF Sem
ator Bingham, republican. Connecti-
cut, for repeal of the inheritance
tax. On this both parties are split
but the western republican ~independ-
ents have served notice they will
fight to the finish against repeal Of
the levy.

FLOOD RELIEF
MEET CALLED

WASHINGTON. May s. Rl -
President Coolidge today invited
house and senate conferees on the
Mississippi river flood control bill
TO visit the White House on Monday
70 discuss his differences with con-
gress over several provisions of the
measure.
The c~onferees said they had re-
ceived the invitation Thu morni--
and had accepted Immediately. The
development was regarded by sup
porters of the bill as indicating pos
sibility that the president and con-
gress may yet get together on the
measure.
Only yesterday II was disclosed
that the president felt that congress
had made little change in the plan
20 meet his views and that he was
disturbed because the house and SEN
ate ccnferees had comnleted the
final draft Of the measure without
consulting him. While the congress
sional on the legislation
readily accede to the request for a
conference with Mr.. Coolidge they
apparently were convinced that the
measure as IL now stands presents q
omrrehensive and adequate solu-
ion Of the flood control nxoblems

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-The college
career of Leland CTiny) Lewis, one
of the Big Tens greatest athletes,
came to a close today because of
scholastic failures. After lowering
near ineligibility throughout his
career, Lewis definitely took him
self out of college competition by
flunking a chemistry examination in
the mid-year tests.
For three years he has been one
of the outstanding athletes Of the
Western Conference. He starred on
NorthweStern's football team for
three seasons. His track perfor-
mances ranked him with the best of
the college all-around men.
Last spring he set a new Big Ten
Shot-put record with a heave of
forty-seven feet, three inches. In

the only duel meet in which North

Lewis led all scorers with thirteen
points at Notre Dame.
In pole vaulting he can do better
than twelve feet, six inches. His
hurdle performances were above the
average. However, it was in foot
ball Lewis won most Of his honors.
Tiny's ineligibility comes as a
serious blow to Northwestern's pres
ent track team. Captaining the
team he was a sure first in the shot
and was good for several points in
the hurdles, high jump, and pole
vault.
Although Big Ten teams will not
have to worry about Beating

still is an Olympic possibility for
