While the negotiations were under

Curtis communicated with his home

Day, Senator Says-"No
Time for Party Lines"
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Speedy enactment of the billion dollar
revenue bill on a non-partisan basis
was asked of the Senate today by
Chairman Smoot of the Finance Com
mittee
1T is a measure for the protection
and preservation of your Government
and my Government" he said in OPEN
ing debate on the bill 1T is above
party lines and distinctions. Let us
take the an-important step toward
economic recovery"
The bill was taken up in hope of
getting it passed and sent to confer
ence with the House by the end Of next
week. Drastic amendments have been
made in the Senate Finance Committee
and more are in prospect on the Senate
floor, though there is no likelihood that
the rumpus staged by the House on
this measure will be repeated. The
general sales tax, which caused that
fracas, has not been restored and
though attempts to write it in are in
prospect, the proposal apparently has
not enough sentiment behind it to win
Four Tariffs Face Fight.
The four tariffs, on oil, coal, copper
and lumber, will be fought strenuously.
Notice of this was given yesterday by
four Democratic members of the COM
mittee that reshaped the bill.
Smoot emphasized that it was vitality
necessary to broaden the base of in
come taxes to include 100000 more
individuals in order to meet the short
age in the Nations revenue, a shrink
age which he set at so per cent since
1880. But with incomes dropping, he
declared 1t was necessary to go even
further for tax refunds.
He reluctantly shunted aside the sales
tax because of its decisive defeat in the
House and called upon business to
share $500, 100000 of the budget bal
ancing burden in selected excise and
miscellaneous taxes.
Opposition Is Expected.
'T concede frankly" said Smoot, that
each proposed tax will be opposed Wig
orously by the groups directly affected.
Each group admits necessity of imme-
diate increases in revenue. But we are
constantly confronted with the cry
Don't tax u.s. Just as, in curtailing
appropriations, we near the cry Reduce
Government expenditures, but don't cut
our appropriation
Smoot made no mention of the
merits of the four tariff items. He sup
ported these import duties in committee
and advocated the copper tax.
Il cannot estimate" he concluded
"the unfortunate effects upon the
country resulting from the delays and

NEW YORK, May 13.-Nine hours

cruising on yacht of the New Jersey
coast and confident he was about to re-
ceive his son back alive, knew the baby
had been found dead, the New York
Sun says today.
A radio code had been arranged so
that Col. Lindbergh on his trips to
negotiate with the kidnapers could keep
in touch with the police and his home.
When word was flashed yesterday aft
ernoon that the babys body had been
found something went wrong with the
radio receiving set on the yacht Maroon,
however.
Again and again, while Mrs. Lind
bergh waited, striving to keep from
breaking down, a radio operator re-
peated the message desperately. Not un-
til midnight did the Maroon pick 1t up.
The yacht Immediately made for a
landing place near Atlantic City. A car

Former King Alfonso Of Spain stepped

the King and, without saying word,
struck him in the face.
A policeman was not far of, but the
man got in several other blows before
he was dragged of.
Alfonso stood for a moment in as
tonishment, then walked quickly to his
car and was driven away
Last March when Alfonso passed
through here on the way to Paris from
San Reno a young Spaniard at the
curb shouted insults at him until the
police hustled him off. Alfonso ignored
that incident and the offender was sub

when the body was found, made
formal statements to police last

no justification for such action yet.

until O'Clock this morning, going over
all details of the case and mapping out
a plan of campaign against the kid

member of the House Appropriations
Committee, as being insistent upon a
S24, 600, 900 reduction in the Army ap-
preparation bill.
This was the amount Of the reduc-

of the original reduction in the budget
estimates and after the bills had under
gone the pruning knife of the House.
Representative Wood was emphatic In
