 Three cases of secret documents. deposited by the Cars viCeroy of Poland and bearing the acadcmy's seals, were among the finds. They were labelled Fin case of fire, flood or revolution these cases must be saved"

Prompt Action Promised

Washington, Nov. l , (P}-PromDt congressional approval of the treas ury's new scheme of tax reductions was betokened today by an almost unanimous agreement among party leaders that the nations taxpayers should benefit as quickly as pos slble from the prosperous financial condition Of the government.
 Fractional spokesmen of both houses, save only those of the west ern independent republicans, were in virtual accord in sanctioning Sec retary Mellons plan of looping a full one per cent from all normal schedules of income taxation.
 Administration supporters were quick 10 speak their appreciation and were joined by the democratic leaders of the house. Senate demo- crats agreed, too, but held out the possibility of demanding an even greater reduction than that advanc- ed by the treasury, conditioning their full approval on more definite information as to prospective feder- al needs and revenues than is now available.
 Western Group Silent
 The western independents were -committal, although it was in- dicated that they woud raise no serious objection. Their position has been that treasury surpluses should be applied to a reduction of the national debt, on the theory that this result increased federal disbursements for interest and in directly permits lowered taxes.

WOMEN MAY FIGHT LONG SKIRT TREND
Miss Elsie Hill to Bring Question Before Na-
 tional Party

Hartford, Nov. 15 P)-Elsie Hill of Bedding, leader in the National Woman's party, predicted today that the fight against long skirts and tight waists, unsuccessfully launched here yesterday at the convention of the Connecticut League of Women Voters by Mrs. Ruth M. Dadourian, wife of Prof. H. M. Dadourian of Trinity college, would probably be taken up by the National Womans s party at it's convention in Wash ington, which opens December '.
 Miss Hill, wife of Professor AL bert Levitt of Brooklyn, N. Y, law , school, said she agrees with Mrs Dadourian that something ought to be done to combat the attempt to force women into long skirts and tight waists and has proposed a ' boycott by all women against the style changes.
 'I think a boycott by individual women against buying dresses with long skirts would be more effective than anything else" Miss Hill said. "Women will take to the style that most becomes them, That may mean in some cases a skirt three inches longer than what has been the pre- vailing length, but we have gone too far from the days when I was in Nassar 23 years when we made , ourselves conspicuous because We did not follow the styles and wear gowns that trailcd in the dust"
 women enjoy drapcrics." she concluded, but the place for them 7 is as curtains or as hangings and not as gowns"
 The Connecticut League of Wom- ,en Voters yesterday defeated Mrs. IDadourian's resolution asking it ito 1fse it's influence against the dicta- ton of the new style.' The league regarded the subject as outside it's province,

 The treasury proposal is for a one per cent reduction in the individual and corporation rates.
