CRITIC BRANDED
AS COWARD BY

WASHINGTON, June 1s.-Bishcp
James Cannon Jr. Tuesday night
challenged his wet critic, RepreSen-
tative Tinkham (Rep., Mass) to re-
peat outside of congress, where he
is immune to prosecution, the
charges of Justification and law
breaking which he made against the
Methodist prelate Tuesday.
In statement telegraphed to the
United Press from Louisville, Ky,
Cannon accused the Massachusetts
congressman of attacking him for
political reasons. He charged Tink-
ham was appealing especially to
his wet. Roman Catholic Boston
voters to retain him in Office"
Committee to Report Soon
Chairman Caraway of the senate
lobby committee, whose right to
question Cannon about a $48,3 800 gift
for use in the 1928 Virginia anti
Smith campaign the bishop SUGGEST
fully challenged. announced today
the committee would report soon on
the case. He said the report would
contain no recommendations for
further action.
The bishops Geographic reply to
Tinkhan was precipitated by re-
flyc thn u
house Tuesday.
He said the bishop had falsified
about money he received for political
purposes, that he had violated the
corrupt practices act through failure
to make proper reports, and that
until he explained the use of the
$48,300, he will stand convicted
in the eyes Of all honest men of
having appropriated the money to
his own use"
This money was given to Cannon
by E. @. Jameson, New York
broker.
Cannon Replies
In his reply, Cannon said:
When Congressman Tinkham
shall give to the press over his per-
sonal signature statements reported
by the press as made by him today
on the floor of the house where
he is immune from prosecution for
false and libelous statements he
may command respect of honorable
men, but making such attacks on
the floor of the house where he
knows his immunity from pros
ecution, brands him as clustering
coward, appealing especially to his
wet, Roman Catholic, Boston voters
to retain him in office"

HIGH OFFICIALS PRAISE
NATIONAL RADIO FORUM
People Brought Closer to Government

to Be Observed Thursday.

One year old this week, the National

on Thursday night celebrate its first
anniversary with special program over

In this comparatively brief period the

tional value. It has carried to the Ma

A growing unrest" in the Army,
Navy, Marine Corps and three other
allied branches of the Government
the Coast Guard, Coast and Geodetic
Survey and Public Health Service-at-
tributed oficially to the present living
conditions of officers and enlisted men
resulting from the 'inadequacy' OF
their pay as compared with salaries in
civil life and the peculiar operation of
the allowance system, has finally chal-
lenged the attention of the executive
and legislative branches of the Gov
eminent so forcibly that definite steps
have been taken to subject the existing
pay schedules to the closest scrutiny
they have ever undergone.
While executive agencies Of the Gov
eminent are threShing out the question
and Congress is preparing to tackle it
by means of specially created Joint
committee, The Star in this series of
articles will present the various aspects
of the subject as they appear today
without any attempt to influence the
outcome one way or the other. Views
Of officers and enlisted men of the sew
eral services, opinions of Government
lative situation on Capitol Hill will be
reported as accurately as possible.
Although some efforts have been
made in congressional quarters to deal
with this Army Navy pay question In
a way that would prevent it from be-
coming a major public issue, they have
signally failed.
Public Consideration Assured.
Instead, it now seems certain that
the whole matter will be threshed out
publicly and in detail, both in and out
Of Congress.
If for no other reason. this is ex-
pected to result from controversy that
has arisen between the War and Navy
Departments on one side, and the Blu
reau of Efficiency on the other, over
certain phases of the question as dis
cussed in the report Of an inter-
departmental pay board, which has
recommended a substantial increase in
the pay of all six services.
So important has the issue now

COALITION EXPECTS
TO WIN SUGAR FIGHT
Lumber and oil Victories
Restore Confidence of
lnSurgent Group.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The Senate coalition" which seemed
to be wabbling in the saddle, is again
firmly riding the tariff range. The vote
Friday night, turning down by 80 to ~
the proposed duty on importations Of
oil, following close on the heels Of the
defeat of the duty on lumber, has left
the coalition in q more commanding
position than ever.
Sugar Test Il Next.
Its next real test will come when the
effort Is made to increase the duty on
sugar. The Senate weeks ago adopted
The Harrison amendment restoring the
existing duty on sugar. The House had
increased the duty and the Senate n
nance committee In reporting the Dill
had offered q compromise, with the
duty somewhat higher than existing law
and a fraction lower than the House
rate. The Harrison amendment pre-
vailed with a margin of 10 votes, which
was a surprise even 70 Senator dar-
rison, who had not thought his amend
ment would carry by so wide margin
Under the agreement entered into In
the Senate, long staple cotton, on which
a duty is now proposed, Is to be con-

the amendment will be adopted, it was
said yesterday.
Soon after that has been disposed Of
it Is expected that the tariff bill Will
pass from the stage Of being considered
in committee of the whole into the SEN
ate itself. Then will come the struggle
over sugar.
Victories Afford Confidence.
Sugar has been considered from the
first the greatest fighting item In the
bill. Had the attempt to place a duty
on lumber and duty on oil prevailed
it is entirely likely that the effort to
increase the duty on sugar would have
been successful. AS 1t Is, however, the
opponents of a raise in the sugar duty
now believe they have the situation In
hand and that they will be able to
keep sugar down to the present rate of
duty. The proposal which is to be adj
vanced is to raise the rate on Cuban
sugar from 1.76 cents to cents. The
opponents of the raise insist that such
an increase will mean adding $50, 00O,-
900 to the sugar bill paid annually by

TAFT RALLY SEEN
ONLY TEMPORARY
WITH END IN SIGHT
Former President improves,
But No Hope for Recovery
Felt by Physicians.

A slight rally brought william How
ard Taft, former President and Chief
Justice, back from the verge of death
yesterday, but attending physicians told
the family not to let 1t encourage false
hope. The end may have been post
poned a few days, they said. but no
more.
When President Hoover heard there
had been unexpected improvement in
the former Chief Justices condition he
and Mrs. Hoover visited Mr.. Taft's
Wyoming avenue home yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Taft was too weak to re-
ceive callers, however, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoover left after a few minutes talk
with Mrs. Taft.
Mr.. Taft'S general condition has been
affected only slightly by his unexpected
rally. His heart action was strength
ened sufficiently, however, to bring him
out OF deep coma, and for the first
time in three days he was able to talk.
His mind functioned lucidly for only a
few minutes, however.
Utters "Come in" Family.
When DR.. Thomas A. Clayton and
DIR. Francis r. Hagner made their
usual morning call they knocked light
ly and walked into the sick room, ex-
pecting to find the former Chief JUS
tice still in a deep coma. They were
surprised, however, by a faint Come
in" from the patient. Mr.. Taft even
was able to raise his hand a few inches
to indicate he wished to shake hands
with his doctors.
A few minutes later Robert A. Taft,
one of the former Chief Justices sons,
entered the room. His father Fecog-
nized him instantly and, smiling, tried
to say few words to him. His words,
however. were incoherent and he was
urged to conserve his strength and
forego attempts at conversation.
AT times during the day Mr.. Taft
again lapsed into the coma that has
held him much of the last 48 hours.
His periods of Inconsistencies were less
frequent, however, and the day was
considered the most satisfactory since
wednesday, when the doctors announced
in a bulletin that hope had been ADAM
doned. and death was only a question

DALE BILL" VOTE
IS DUE TOMORROW
Retirement Proposal Is Ex-
pected to Come Up Under
Suspension of Rules.

Unless all plans fail, the compromise
bill to liberaliZe the Civil Service re-
tirement law will come up for a vote
in the House tomorrow, under sus-
pension of the rules, without oppor-
tunity for any but committee amend
ments and with debate limited to 20
minutes a side.
There will be a fight on the floor to
prevent consideration of the measure
under suspension of the rules. The
minority pledged to relief for the vet
eran employe, is prepared to protest
to the end that free opportunity should
be afforded the friends of the employees
to put through the best bill they can
without executive coercion or legiSla-
tive hobbies" They will not endeavor
to offer amendments, believing that
would be futile.
According to House leaders and
spokesman for the organized employees,
1t seems probable that the amended
Lehlbach bill, containing the compro-
mise made with the representatives of
the joint conference on retirement
legislation, will be passed under the
title Of the Dale bill and then sent to
conference.
Considered Best Available.

about the best compromise that can
be made, that 1t represents all that the
employees can hope to get at this time
