new COALITION
IN EFFORT TO
PASS TAX CUT
G. o. P. Regulars Combine
With Democrats for
Enactment.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA. - A
powerful new coalition was pushing
the administration $160,O00,0O0 tax
reduction bill through the senate
today with such pressure it was ex-
pected to be enacted into law by
night.
The regular Republicans, who
have complained strongly against
coalition since their tariff bill was
revised by the senate, coaIesced
with the Democrats to effect the
adoption of the tax measure. The
farm bloc which had a tariff coaIi-
ton with Democrats found itself
out in the cold with only fifteen
votes or less to cast against the ad-
miniStration tax proposal.
Associated with the regulars in
the new coalition was Joseph r.
Grundy, new Pennsylvania senator,
and his colleague, David A. Reed of
Pennsylvania, who denounced the
farm bloc Democratic tariff coali-
ton, terming the farm bloc men,
berS worse than Communists" for
their action.
Althoughvthe weakened farm bloc
was fighting to prevent limitation
of debate, the new coalition has
such numerical strength that re-
Sistance seemed useless and final
vote is anticipated within a few
hours. The group expects to pro-
tect the measure against any amend
ment, and 1t has more voting
strength than the farm bloc Demo-
cratic coalition.
Monday the senate will return to
the tariff bill with prospects of it's
enactment by mid January. The
senate privileges and elections COM
mittee has been called by Chair
man Shortridge to meet Monday on
the Grundy credentials and the
resolution referred to it by the SEN
ate, proposing to deprive Grundy of
his seat. The meeting is merely per-
functory and a speedy report in
Grundy's favor is expected.
The house is working on the agri-
cultural department supply bill, but
will lay it aside Monday to take
up the $135,0O0,O00 public buildings
bill, appropriating money for federal
building projects throughout the
country.

for the home dressmaker in these new
materials. Considering that the MAX
ing of even the simplest wash dresses
involves so much detail, it might be
wise to begin the sewing campaign
earlier than usual. 1t is not bit too
early to start at this moment.
In choosing materials and patterns
or in selecting the ready-made frock,
keep your eyes open for bows, for
bows, you know, are entering into the
scheme of design for washable frocks
as conspicuously as in that of evening
frocks. Not just bows which tie for
convenience sake, but bows which are
purely ornamental. Note how bows
play their part in event of each of the
three dresses in this picture. Atten-
tion is especially called to the "fussy"
pretty frock to the left in the back
ground as it demonstrates most In
triguipgly the use of figured with
plain material in combine. Organdie
is charmingly worked into rutfied
panel for this dress, also for other de-
tails. The vogue for large bows at
the hip which has been so pronounced
for evening wear, is finding it's way
into washable daytime modes.
