special taxes.
The communications taxes were
voted into the bill with transmits
sion of news exempted. Radio
broadcasters' leased wires also
were exempted from tax for such
times as they are devoted to nom
commercial programs. The 10 per
cent admissions tax exemption was
increased from 10 cents to 40 cents
with q decrease of revenue from
10000, 900 to $4,000, 900.
The aggregate of taxes adopted
yesterday was $176,000,000. Previ-
Gus reductions of committee rates
had taken 100000, 900 from the
bill. 1t is estimated that the
changes made by the senate leave
the bill about $4S,000.0O0 short Of
balancing the budget II all re-
naming rates are adopted as re-
ported by the committee.
Sales tax senators are delaying
their final attack on the bill, but
their optimism Ii increasing. Word
that there were symptoms of
changing sentiment in the hostile
house. coincided on the senate side
of tho capitol with the confident
prediction of Senator Reed that a
majority OF the senate would ac-
cept d sales tax when offered.
There is under consideration q
double- barrelled program for
adopting the general sales tax and
increasing income tax rates to
about the 1922 level. II that were
carried out, the Conally income
tax amendment probably would be
adopted fixing normal rates at 4
and per cent and a maximum
surtax at So per cent Of income In
excess of 100000.

LEVIN HERE AGAIN
WITH ARMY Of 800
Red Leader, Banished Last
Summer, Denies They Are
Hunger Marchers.

Declaring that he had approximately
800 veterans" of the Bonus Expedition
airy Force of last Summer under his
command, Emanuel Levin, the general
issimo of the Ex-Service Mems League
of the Communist party, returned to
Washington today with one eye on de-
manding full payment of adjusted serv-
ice certificates and the other on the
police.
The leader said his army was biv-
ouaced "at homes of friends" in the
city or walking the streets awaiting his
command to move onto the Capitol to
present the demands of the rank and
file"
Members of Levin's army were as
bedraggled as ever. Some wore khaki

said he could feel his way around" to
see Just what reception the police had
in store for them.
Levin said the bonus marcherS were
not connected with the hunger march

general demonstration with the latter,
if called on.
Levin brought his forces into the city
last night, avoiding the police, he said
by slipping through upguarded portals.

CUTTING SUPPORTS
ROOSEVELT VIEWS.
Leaves for Washington to
Enlist Colleagues in Con-
certed Program.

BY the Associated Press.
WARM SPRINGS, Ga, December
5.-Senator Cutting of New Mexico,
first of the independent Republicans
to visit Franklin D. Roosevelt, laid his
legislative views beside those of the
President-elect in a long conference
here yesterday, decided they we're sim
liar and left for Washington to talk
with colleagues about concerted pro-
gram.
While Mr.. Roosevelt was turning to
a brief period of rest between series
of callers, Senator Cutting sped north
ward for the opening Of the short ses-
sion Of Congress, taking with him the
view that the independent Republicans
should get together on concerted plan
of action upon the legislation that will
be the business of the session.
Coxey Calls on Governor.
In the groups that came to see Mr.
Roosevelt today were Gov Harry Wood
ring of Kansas, Guy Helvering, ma
tional committeeman for that State
and Gen. j. S. Coxey, mayor of Mas
sillon, Ohio.
Coxey brought with him the none
tary plan that he put before the last
session of Congress, calling for pay
ment of the war debts in specially
printed currency which the United
States would accept and circulate In
this country.
Cutting said he and Mr.. Roosevelt
covered a wide range of legislative sub
jects, including farm relief, reforesta-
ton and Indian Bureau affairs
The meeting of Republican inde-
pendents suggested by Cutting would
enable that group to ascertain whether
1t would rally as a unit behind the
farm relief, bUdgetary and beer meas
ures that are being planned by the
Democrats in the hope they can BIZ
passed at the short session in order tC
avoid an extra meeting.
The New Mexico Senator said he die
not think the Republicans who sup
ported Mr.. Roosevelt either feared
punishment or expected reward fol
their action.
Expects Retention of Posts.
II scarcely expect them to be de-
prived OF their posts" he said, re-
spending to a direct question whether
those of them who hold important COM
mittee chairmanships might be ousted
Cutting said 1t was too early to specu-
late over the possibilities of new party
alignment of Western independents anc
Eastern Democrats.
Cutting said he did not have any
reason to think that those Republican,
who placed themselves behind thu
Democratic candidates would be con.
suited regarding patronage affecting
their sections.
Most Of us have been accustomed Il
getting along without patronage" hi
said.

PRESIDENT HASTENS
MESSAGE REVISION

Changes.

BY the Associated Press.
Deciding upon last-minute revision
of his annual message to Congress-to
be delivered tomorrow, heavy with war
debt and financial information and
recommendations Hoover to-
day called in advisers and cancelled
other engagements.
With the message spread out on his
desk, the Chief Executive went over 1t
with j. Clawson Roop, director Of the
budget, making several changes.
Although proof already has been
delivered to the public printer, the
question whether the full text could
be IN print before night fall now de-
ponds upon the extent of Mr.. tIoover's
revision.
Visitors were denied access to the
Presidents office during the morning
Mr.. Hoover completed his annual
message yesterday and rested during
much of the afternoon. He entertained
informally during the early evening in
honor Of Frank B. Kellogg, former
Secretary of State. Senator Reed of
Pennsylvania and Justice Harlan r.
Stone Of the Supreme Court were other
guests.

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

What sort of men and women con-
stitute this squalidly picturesque as
sembly of so-called hunger marchers, p"
now huddled over bonfire or walking up
and down a roped-off Washington
street, with police surrounding them
everywhere and half the city in state
of nerves" over their presence?
What is hidden in their individual
minds under their red caps, damned up
by the rigidly enforced restrictions OF
silence placed upon them by their
leaders?
It can be gathered only by observa-
ton of their behavior. One need not be
a mind-reader to interpret, however
specifically, the dominant impulses
that are moving this diversified group
of colored and white men. schoolboys
and schoolgirls, jobless workers and
half-educated loafers. They do not
represent very wide range of Amer
lean life. Even the physical appearance
shows this. 1t is best exemplified
among the women. They run to a type
short, broad, with rather hattened
noses and wide cheekbones. Some are
very attractive, in their Slavic fashion,
but they are all cut to the same pat
tern. This same pattern is dominant
among the men, although they show
considerably greater diversity.
Above all-and perhaps this is the key
to the whole story-very few of them
show signs Of having been hungry of
late or having suffered very greatly. In
spite of obvious hardships, which make
little difference to youth, they are hav-
ing a good time with their snake
dancing and singing, while boys and
girls parade along the street with locked
arms and great deal Of noisy flirta-
ton goes on.

movement can be emphasized best by
contrasting it with the late lamented
B. E. F.. for, obscured by some super
fetal similaritieS, there is great chasm
between the two groups.
Both are far-f1ung Surges from the
wild ocean Of vagabondage breaking in
a fetid spray of imprecations and COM
plainings against the bulwarks of Gov
eminent. Both present comparable
physical picture with their motley at
tire, battered automobiles, trucks load
ed with dirty bedding and general I'M
cleanliness.
But under the surface the resem-
blance stops. Nobody would be apt to
mistake one group for a part of the
other First of all, the B. E. F. was
cast in an American mould, whatever
might have been the personal Senti-
ments of many of its members. Much
of its thinking may have been COM
muniStic, but it was an indigenous
communism, risen from the soil of the
farms and, factories and clothed in
American legendry, American figures of
speech, American loyalties and Ameri-
can prejudices. 1t was living and laugh
ing, cursing and wesping. 1t marched
in olive drab, with the American nag
in the van. 1t did not seek to set up a
new flag or any new symbols whatso-
ever. Its procedure was to transmute
old symbols into a new meaning. It
cursed "Rsds," even when many Of its
members expressed political PHILOSOPHERS
differing little from the communistic.

hand, are frankly Reds" Men and
