The Senate Banking Committee to-
day reported as a substitute Tor the
Goldsborough dollar stabilization bill
a proposal by Senator Glass, Demo-
crat. of Virginia. to make all Govern
ment bonds eligible for the issuance
OF currency.

permit the issuance of probably a

Norbeck said virtually no opposition
developed in the committee to the plan
proposed by Senator Glass, former
Democratic Secretary Of the Treasury.
It. will be reported Immediately to the

Mcclellan Wants 10
Per Cent Taken
From All Funds.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Carrying a fiat 10 per cent cut
in salaries of all Federal and Dis
trict employees, reduction of an
nual leave from 80 to IS days and
other restrictions on Government
personnel, the long g-awaited econ
omy program takes the stage in
the Senate this afternoon.
AS it emerged from the Appro-
priatiOnS Committee at midnight,
the measure called for a total
saving in Government expendi-
lures of S238,605 900, as compared
with a House total of only S52,-
272,740 approximately one-half
of the total to be saved was taken
from salaries through the 10 per
cent cut, which it is estimated
will amount to Sl21,O50,0OO.
An important development to-
day was the statement o. Senator
Mckellar, Democrat, of Tennes-
see, that the Senate would go on
with the policy of cutting the
totals of the various appropriation
bills for the coming fiscal year by
10 per cent. This would mean
elimination of other items of ex-
penGiture besides the salary al
loWanceS.
Policy viii Continue.
Chairman Jones of the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee expected to have
the Senate begin work on the economy
bill at ? o'clock this afternoon.
Chairman Jones also said the general
policy of cutting down the totals of
the various appropriation bills would
continue. He said that while the COM
mittee was not under definite orders
to make a 10 per cent cut in the total
of each appropriation bill he expected
there would be reductions OF approxi-
mately that amount IN the various sup
ply bills.
Senator Bingham, another member
of the committee, agreed that there

HOUSE RUSHES TAX BILL

100 Per Cent Tax
On Crime Incomes
Included in Bill
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Invoking the age-old axiom
that the power to tax is the
power TO destroy, the Senate
wrote into the revenue bill last
night a 100 per cent tax on all
incomes obtained by crime.
II tniJ outright confiscation of
the wages of sin remains in the
bill, the gangster, bootlo ggers and
others will be at the mercy of the
Federal Government.
Senator Glenn of Illinois put
the harsh provision into the bill
without meeting an objection.
He called upon the Government
to end the partnership" with
crime, which he charged it eXer-
cises in accepting the same
share Of vice stained profits that
it demands of the man who earns
his money within the law.
Hitherto, law violators with big
incomes have protected them
Z. ives by boldly declaring their
income to the Internal Revenue
Bureau and paying tax. without
fear that the returns could be
used to prosecute them. Where
they failed to do so, the Govern
ment has used the income tax
law to imprison gang leaders.

beginning Of the consideration of the

Gated the economy program would meet
serious opposition and probably lead TO
long debate.
With the President and Speaker
Garner of the House far apart on the

seems bright. However, the chances
for an agreement between the President

worked out a relief program of their

The Senate Appropriations Commit

The foreign secretary indicated the

situation.
1t has to be remembered he said.
that the terms Of reference Of the
conference at Lausanne include. among

settlement of reparations but an agree

may prolong the present world crisis.
Overlapping Is Feared.
Unless, therefore. the United States
will send representatives to the sec
end part Of the Lausanne Conference
apparently that dealing with other
than war debt and reparations issues
there is a danger of an overlapping,
and the questions of time and place
would remain TO be considered even if
yet another conference were decided on.
