 Interested in Work Done

| Block Island, R. l.. July 4 LP1- Miss Amelia Earhart, thwarted in | her attempt to get a taste of deep sea diving Monday, tried it again yesterday and remainder under F minutes.
 She was lowered from the private ly owned submarine Defender. When she started down from the same craft Tuesday she was suddenly pulled to the surface. Although re- ports stated that she had pulled the signal rope, it developed that the reason for the sudden end of the venture was the discovery of leak in her diving suit by Frank Crilly. professional diver. and she was haul ed up much to her surprise and chagrin.
 The transatlantic fier and Mrs. George Palmer Putnam. wife of the New York publisher. also tried out yesterday. a rescue device with which the Defender is fitted.

B0RAH MAY LEAD
 TARIFF ATTACK
Idaho Senator Opposes Present
 Plan Of Duty LeYies

Washington. July A LPl-An in dcation that Senator Borah, repub- lcan, Idaho. may be given an op- portunity to lead the senate attack on the flexible provision of the house tariff bill was seen by some observers today in the distribution of an ex- prcssion of his views on the tariff by the democratic national commit tees publicity bureau.
 Whether he is considering such a course has not been disclosed by the senator. It is recalled, however, that he opposed the flexible provision in the present law while it was under consideration in 1922. and he is known to differ with the house re- nubicans on many points in the pending bill having proposed short ly before the senate recessed. that the finance committee be limited to agricultural and related products in proposing rate advances,
 Comment Cryptic
 His only comment when asked about the distribution of his views by the democratic organization was that they had frequently been eX- pressed by him and were public property, and that If democratic national committee distributes them, that is it's business"
 He is quoted in the democratic statement as declaring that the fleX- iblc provision in the house bill is n nj violation of thp Sti II tion." and is citing the story of the flexible tariff as an illustration of the growth of bureaucracy"
 Congress started out" the quo tation continues, "by authorizing the president. upon the entertainment of a simple fact-to wit, the passage of a law in a foreign country-to put into effect certain rates. Congress next authorized the president. with the aid Of the tariff commission. to ascertain the cost of production at home and abroad Now in this bill they propose that he shall ascertain tho difference in competitive con- ditions at home and abroad,
 Full Power To Executive
 Tn other words, we are now del osating the full taxing power to the executive"
 Republicans of the finance com mlttCe. working without the rcstric- tionS which Senator Borah adNocat cd are now engaged behind closed doors on the task of rewriting the house bill. Indications have been nu- merous that they would propose a number of changes in the measure, but their attitude toward the flexible provision has not been defined.
