them believed filled with State
troopers, passed in and out Of
the grounds.
Another dramatic turn was
given today to the hunt, already
crowded with extraordinary de-
velopments.
Police throughout the nation
were requested by New Jersey
authorities to give information Of
the whereabouts Of Charles Au-
gustus Lindbergh, jr., no matter
from what source obtained, on
an official pledge any clue will
be treated confidentially.
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopt,
superintendent Of the New Jersey
, State police, made the appeal. A
police circular, he said, printed
in Washington, and conts ming
the call for aid, will be distributed
Immediately.
Coming at the end Of more
than 10 days of fruitleSS search
for the youngSter, the action was
interpreted as giving official sup
port to Lindbergh's own pledge Of
immunity to the kidnapers If they
returned the child.
But although the call seemed to
imply that neither pO.'ee efforts
nor the Lindberghs' own broad
cast appeals to the kidnapers to
return the worlds most famous
baby had yielded any results.

Americans Attend
British Sino-Jap Farley

GENEVA, March IL GN.S0.
With the Sino-Japanese contro-
versy now wholly in the hands
of the special Committee of Nine
teen, scheduled to begin it's work
next week, negotiations today
were confined to private meetings.
These were begun last night at
a private dinner given by Sir
John Simon. British foreign minis
ter, with DR.. w. w. Yen, OF
China, and Tsuneo Matsudaira,
of Japan, as principal guests. It
was the first direct discussion in
Geneva between representatives
Of the two countries since the
Far-Eastern conflict began.
Two American diplomats, Nor
man Davis and Hugh Wilson,
were the only other guests.
Civil warfare alonge the Siberian
Manchurian border, in which
Chinese were said to have fired
into the Siberian city Of Blago-
vestchensk, today was expected
to result in a Soviet protest to
the new independent Manchurian
government.
The revolt occurred at Saghalin,

Madame Marcia Sees
Child Near Home
of Lindberghs

Definite news of the Lindbergh
baby will be received today, pro

it was kidnapped have been dis
closed. X
This statement came today from
Madame Marcia, 1445 U st. N. w.
widely known astrologist. who pre-
dicted the death Of President
Harding.
Madame Marcia does not believe
that the baby is dead, pointing
out that the signs on the day it
was kidnapped indicated it would
die only as a sacrifice"
Believed Near Home
The astrologist is convinced that
the baby is somewhere near the
Lindbergh home and believes that
a solution can be obtained from
clerks, servants, messengers and
agents..
On the day the baby disappeared
the signs were evil. Reading from
the astrologist's ritual, Madame
Marcia said:
Mercury came to an exact
opposite Of Neptune. The influ-
ence of these two planets iS
very evil. This position iS eS-
peCialIy evil and viii find per-
sons deserted by those whom
they trusted in"
Continuing, Madame Marcia

Saturday Sessions of Both
Houses Strive for Action
as Program Lags

For the second time this
year, both House and Senate
were in session on a Saturday
as party leaders sought to
speed action and escape a
growing legislative jam.
A score of important bills were
caught behind pending legisla-
ton in both House and Senate.
In the House, continued debate
on the new tax bill halted all
other legislative activity, with
prospects favoring a continuation
Of the battle into next week.
Nominations in May
In the Senate, the legislative
program was laid aside to con-
slider three long pending nomi.
nations for the Federal Farm
Board.
Administration and Democratic
leaders have tentatively agreed
to adjourn Congress before the
national conventions meet in
June.
To accomplish this, Congress
must enact 10 departmental ap-
preparation bills, the new tax bill
and some other measures, while
allowing the Senate time to pass
upon the League Court-a1l in
II weeks.
Progress Slow
There would be no doubt about
Congress ability to enact this
program in II weeks, were it not
for its dilatory record to date.
Not one Of the regular appropria-
tion bills has been finally enacted
into law.
Only four Of the 10 have passed
the House, while the Senate has
approved but one. It's record of
IL weeks to date includes only
passage Of the war debt mora
torium, the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation bill, and the
lame duck constitutional amend
ment, aside from minor leg1Sla-
ton.
Measures Pending
Among the important measures
still pending, excepting the tax
bill, are the new tariff act, yet
to pass the Senate the Philippine
independence bill, the Norris
Muscle Shoals bill, final action
on the anti-injunction bill, the
$137 10000 good roads bill, and

MILLS TELLS
GARNER
Treasury WhoIeheartedIy Back
of Entire Measure, Is
Secretary's Pledge

Secretary of the Treasury
Ogden Mills today Informed
Speaker John N. Garner that
the Treasury Fundamentally
supports the $1,096, 100000 tax
bill now in the House.
He dispelled rumors that
President Hoover may ask
Congress for still higher taxes
on the ground that the present
tax bill will not balance the
budget
Speaking to newspapermen af'
ter chatting with Garner, Mills
said:
"I do not think that more
revenue will be needed than is
provided in this bill.
I'm my opinion, the most inn
pOrtant question before the
country today is the raising Of
sufficient revenue to balance
the budget.
"The present tax bill is ac-
ceptable to the Treasury and
we are supporting it,"
Secretary Mills said the Treas.
ury had not abandoned its pre-.
viouS tax recommendations, but
accepted the Judgment Of the
Ways and Means Committee in
including the manufacturers tax.
Mum on Hoover View
His declaration that the bill will
balance the budget was made
when his attention was called to
the statement Of Representative
Wood (R) of Indiana, after a
visit to the President, that Mr..
Hoover may have to call upon
Congress for still higher taxes.
Mills declined to state the attl-
tude of President Hoover on the
pending bill, but reiterated that
the Treasury is supporting it.
Representative Henry T. Rainey
Of Illinois, Democratic leader OF
the House, said the manufac-
turers tax, Rainey added, ap-
parently will be defeated in the
House unless there is change Of
opinion within the next few days.
The manufacturers tax, Rainey
added, apparently will be defeated
in the House unless there is a
change sof opinion within the
next few days.
Poll on Sales Tax
Preparatory to reaching final
decision on changes in the $1,096,.
000, 900 measure, both Democratic
and Republican leaders ordered
polls to determine the attitude Of
the House on the highly contro-
versial sales tax feature.
Those in charge Of the measure
scored a technical victory when
they forced opponents Of the sales
tax into the open with substitu-
tute tax levies.
The effect Of the proposed sub
stitutes, mostly some form of sales
tax. was to create new opposition
among the industries selected for
specially heavy blows. 1t is this
opposition that leaders count
upon to bring the House into line
for the sales tax as the least harm
full to industry as a whole.
There still remained faction
urging the printing of greenbacks
to meet the deficit while others
urged bond issues.
