INCOME TAX CUT
SEEN NEXT WEEK
Resolution for $780, ,OOO,O 900
Reduction Expected to Be
Offered Monday.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Hawley of the House ways
and means committee predicted today
the House would adopt q resolution to
authorize the &I60,o00 900 tax reduc-
ton on 1929 incomes before the end
OF the first week Of the regular session.
The resolution. Hawley said, would
be introduced Monday and he would
call a meeting Tuesday of the ways
and means committee. Hearings, he
added probably would be short, in view
of the approval of the reduction by
the administration and Raders of beth
parties in both Houses.
In event the House would agree to
consider the resolution Wednesday,
under unanimous consent, without
waiting for the committee report, it
probably would be approved that day
he said. Otherwise, it would be brought
up Thursday for action
Senate to Speed Move.
Senate leaders have announced that
an effort would be made to expedite
passage in that chamber.
Hawley's statement today was even
more optimistic for early action than
his utterance at the time the tax cut
proposal was announced by Secretary
Mellon. The ways and means chairman
then predicted the House would dispose
of it shortly before taking the Christ
mas recess. II his latest prediction
materializes the Senate will be given

Guilty in putting the resolution through.
Since it proposes only ore form of
reduction-a per cent cut in the rate
on corporation and individual in
comes-the leaders believe there will
be but slight disposition on the part of
members to indulge in protracted debate
The House leadership indicated that
If this should develop, they would en-
force the drastic rules of that chamber
which shut off discussion and provide
a parliamentary short cut for an early
vote
The ways and means committee,
which must handle all revenue legisla-
ton, will be ready to function as soon
as the bang of Speaker Longworth's
gavel calls the House to order Monday

In the glittering silence of such

shrieked and hid the earth in a shroud
of numbing and bewildering drift.
There was elation in their quick move

By the Associated Press.
The Russo Chinese controversy over
the Chinese Eastern Railway for the
present has shifted from warlike activi-
ties in Manchuria to verbal lombard
ment between Moscow and Nanking as
to the exact status of negotiations look
ing toward settlement.
Out of the intense confusion of de-
malls, counter-denials, charges and
counter-charges, the following facts
emerged:
Marking emphatically denied that
Manchuria was negotiating independ-
emily for settlement with the Soviet
government.
The Nationalist foreign Office insisted
that it had sent a note to Moscow con-
tanning proposals for a Russian
joint commission to investigate border
conditions and for withdrawal of troops
by both sides to at least 30 miles from
the frontier.
Prepared for Moves.
In event of rejection "the Nationalist
government will be prepared to meet
Soviet moves accordingly"
Moscow insisted that negotiations
with Mukden were going forward and
charged that Nanking, to thwart these,
was seeking Intervention by the powers.
Izvestia, official Soviet organ. declar-
ed that the "imperialists" were seeking
to intervene in order to stretch out an
arm to the Chinese Eastern Railway"
Meanwhile Washington, which has
been in communication with other
powers to determine If anything could
be done, awaiting the outcome of the
Marking note to Moscow.
American Attitude.
The attitude Of the State Depart
ment as interpreted In WASHINGTON,
appeared to be that China and Rus
sia should be, given every opportunity
to settle the differences between them
before the other powers take action.
Thus far the League of Nations has
received no oficial appeal from the
Nationalist government to take a hand
in the controversy.
The British North China Daily News
at Shanghai quoted Russian agency re-
ports that negotiations between Moscow
and Mukden had begun at Harbin ION
the express authority of both Marking
and Mukden authorities"
The railway town of Bachatu, $50
miles from the border, was again re-
ported bombarded by Soviet planes, but
no other fighting seems to have taken
place for the past few days.
