j. s. SURPLUS
MAY NOT BRING
SLASH IN TAXES
Members Of Senate Finance
Committee PeSSimiStlc
Over Reduction.

BIZ Tnitcd PrCss
WASHINGTON. July 2.-Although
the sls5, 100000 treasury surplus at
the end of the fiscal year far ex-
ceeded expectations, members Of the
senate finance committee we're
pessinistic today over prospects Of
another tax reduction.
Chairman Reed Smoot said tax
reduction within the near future is
out of the question.
Democratic members of the COM
mittee, who usually clamor for a re-
duction in taxes whenever the treas
ury shows a surplus, we're wary of
suggesting such a move at this time.
They pointed TO the huge obliga-
tons upon the federal treasury as
a result of the farm relief flood con-
troll and naval building programs.
Several also expressed doubt that
the abnormally large receipts from
income taxes would continue during
the new year.

LITTLE CHANCE
TO Be SENATOR
Discount Reports He Quit
as Ambassador to Seek
Office.
BY LEO r. SACK


WASHINGTON, July RE
ports t. ry P. Fletcher. Ameri-
can ambassador 10 Italy. has re-
signed to seek the United States
senatorship from his home state
Of Pennsylvania are not taken
seriously in political circles.
Fletcher, it is understood, would
Ike TO sit in the senate, but he ap-
7reciates the difficulties.
Three obstacles are in his way
ell informed politicians point
Jut.
First. there is no senatorial
'acancy from Pennsylvania and
here is not likely TO be until the
senate acts definitely on the case Of
Senator Elect William S. Ware, who
never has been admitted. The Ware
case will not be decided until Fall,
if then, and when it is his immediate
successor will be named by Governor
Fisher.
i Second. Fletcher's home Is at
GreencastIe. which is in the south
western part Of the state, near the
Maryland line. Il always has been
the custom in Pennsylvania to have
senator's from the eastern and from
the western section Of the state.
Senator David A. Reed comes
from Pittsburgh. in the west, and
Senator Elect Ware from Philadel-
pllia, in the east.
Wares successor. If and when he Is
appointed or elected, IS likely to
come from Philadelphia. or nearby.
Third, Ambassador Fletcher has
oeen In the diplomatic service for
tVenty-seven years and become a
career man.
During these years he has gotten
1ut Of touch with the Pennsylvania
political organization and insofar as
the present leaders are concerned,
he is a stranger. He is even more
Of a stranger TO the rank and file Of
Pennsylvania voters.
The real reason for Fletcher's
resignation. many believe. IS dis
appointment because he has gotten
no promotion from President Her
bert Hoover and none is in sight.
Fletcher. who went to South
america with Hoover in an advisory
capacity. wanted to be secretary OF
state, it is said
Next he wanted to 60 as anlbassa-
dor either to London or to Paris.
The immediate outlook for
Fletcher was an indefinite stay in
Rome where he already has been
che ambassador for five years.
