WASHINGTON, March 12.-The
house was in a turmoil today over
the sales tax.
Leaders, who usually rule that
body with an iron hand, we're count
ing votes t. see whether they would
have to alb ndon the project to save
themselves.
The opposition was being Stimu-
lated by protests coming in with
every mail. These influential no.
tees from constituents we're chang
ing votes each hour while routine
debate proceeded into its third day
on the floor.
The leaders are making no effort
to whip their forces into line. The
unusual contest has passed that
stage. They merely are trying to
find out whether a majority of the
house will stand for the imposition
of the "a per cent levy on practi-
cally all manufactured products. If
the polls show the house is lined up
against them, they are prepared to
seek some other means of balanc-
ing the budget.
May Be Altered Considerably
1t is conceded that the tax will be
altered considerably by its friends
in view of the flood of protests,
even if it is not abandoned.
Manufacturers have discovered
scores of loopholes.
Big lumber men contend it will
let their small competitors who do
a business of less than $4,000 a
year escape the tax, thereby per-
mitting them to underSell.
Gamers claim there is no way for
them to absorb the tax.
Irrigation farmers, who use cleo
tricity to pump water, protest it will
do them unjust damage.
Livestock men say that while
meat is exempt, lard, hides and 9TH
err by-products are not, which will
still influence the price of beeves.
Work to Overthrow Plans
All these things are working to
overthrow the plans of the coalition
Republican and Democratic leader
ship. Whether the protests will
grow in sufficient volume to make
it useless to press the plan remains
to be developed.
Three alternate plans have been
offered by the opposition.
The first, by Representative Flo
relic H. La Guardia CRep., N. ",
proposes to raise $4OO,OOO,OO0 by
heavy taxes on luxuries. The
amount, he agrees, is insufficient
to balance the budget. He con-
tends it is not necessary to balance
to dollar.
The second plan would contem-
plate an increase of income SurtaXeS
to the so per cent maximum of
wartime, and heavy luxury taxes.
This was proposed by Representative
Thomas R. Anllie Rep., Wis.,, and
Paul j. Kvale, GARNER Labor,
Minn)
Hoover Backs Sales Tax
The third plan, by Representative
Robert L. Doughton Dem., N. c.
calls for an excess profits tax to
raise $168,0O0,0OO, luxury taxes to
bring 100000, and increase of
postal rates. He would tax furs,
jewelry, cosmetics, suits costing more
than $40 and shoes and hats over SIS.
What the leaders are banking on
is that all these plans will prove as
Objectionable as the sales tax. They
think that by the middle of next
week, before a vote is taken, the
opposition will explore all possible
avenues of revenues, and then re-
turn to their solution.
The house has word that Presi-
dent Hoover will support the prof.
ect. Representative Treadway,
(Rep., MasS), announced late Fri
day that Mr.. Hoover would CO.

WORLD UNITES
TO BAN JAP AN
WAR SUCCESS
League Action WithhoIdS
Victory'S Fruits From
Peace Pact VioIatorS.
VICTORY FOR STIMSoN
None of Great Powers to
Recognize New Republic
in ManChuria.
BY JOSEPH ii. BAIRD
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The
great powers Of the earth, with three
exceptions, stood united today in a
determination to withhold the
fruits of victory from violators OF
the Kellogg peace pact.
This union was achieved by the
League of Nations assembly resolu-
ton declaring the league would not
recognize the legality of privileges
or territory gained in violation of
the anti-war pact.
And Secretary of State Henry L.
Stimson, who first laid down this
doctrine, rejoined in its almost uni
Versal acceptance.
AS soon as the report of Geneva's
action reached him, the secretary,
beaming like a school-boy, hurried
to the White House to inform
President Herbert Hoover. He then
returned to his Office, called in
newspapermen, and read to them
the following statement:
The nations of the league at
Geneva have united in common
attitude and purpose towards the
perilous disturbances in the far east.
The action of the assembly, expresses
the purpose for peace which is found
both in the pact of Paris (the
Kellogg pact) and the covenant OF
the League of Nations.
World Speaks With One Voice
I'm this expression all the nations
of the world can speak with the
same voice. This action will go far
toward developing into terms of in
ternational law the principles of
order and justice which underlie
those treaties, and the government
Of the United States has been glad
to cooperate earnestly in this eff
fort"
The immediate efforts of the
league resolution-on which China
and Japan did not, and Russia, be-
ing outside the league, could not,
vote-were viewed here as follows:
That none of the league powers
nor the United States will recog-
nize the new Manchurian govern
ment of Henry Pu-Yi, allegedly set
up by Japan after destruction of the
Chinese provincial government.
That none of the powers subscrib-
ing to the new doctrine will recog-
nize any new treaty rights which
Japan may obtain from China un-
der the pressure of military occupa-
ton.
The non-recognition of forceful
gains, a new instrument in diplo-
macy which may go down in history
as the "Stimson doctrine" was first
cnunciated by the secretary in a
note to Japan and China Jan. 7, he
said:
HoOver's Faith in Doctrine
g. The American government
deems 1t to be its duty to notify
both the governments of the Chi
nese republic and the imperial Jap
anese government that it does
not intend to recognize any Situa-
ton, treaty or arrangement which
may be brought about by means
contrary to the covenants and obli-
cations of the pact of Paris -
Great faith was placed by Mr..
Hoover in the efficacy of this doc
trine as preserver of peace. The
administration has been hopeful for
two months that the rest of the ma
tons would bulwark Stimson's
statement hY an omen declaration

RANCE MARROW,
MARKET DULL

NEW YORK, Oct. "a GN.SD.
The stock market backed and
filled in narrow range today as
trading continued the dull and
professional character of last
week.
News was ignored, such as Sat
urday's big gain in car loadings
and further gratifying railroad
earnings reports for September.
Both Illinois Central and Ontario
and western reported gains in
profits last month. Carrier stocks,
however, tended lower with the
exception of Lackawanna and
Atchison.
U. S. Steel preferred, weak
spot at the end of last week,
steadied today. Directors meet
to act on the dividend tomorrow.
Reports from the steel industry
stated that operations were hold
ing somewhat under 20 per cent
of capacity, an improbable rate
for steel makers.
Neither commodities nor bonds
provided any stimulus, both DRIFT
ing lower. The fresh fall IN
sterling passed without slgnltlcanC
Influence. Farm implement shares
ruled lower with wheat.

WHO WAS THIS
MRS, HOOVER?

Prince Georges county police
stationed at Hyattsville would
like to know who a certain Mrs.
Hoover is.
Policeman William E. Clifton,
in charge of the station this
morning, was calmly considering
problems of discipline when the
telephone rang. He answered it.
A. feminine voice asked for the
chief. He wasn't in. She asked
for the officer in charge. Clifton
advised her he was the man.
Said the woman:
This is Mrs. Hoover. I would
like to know how much you
policemen are gcing to con-
tribute to the Republican cam
paign fund"
Clifton advised her to take up
her financial problem with the
chief some other time. She
hung up.
The party affiliations of Officer
Clifton and Chief jeremiah Crow
ley are Democratic.
Now the two of them are trv-
ing to find out what Mrs. Hoover

NEWARK, N. j., Oct. "a
GN.SO. Eight year old Anna
Kleinhandler, who was kidnapped,
came home to her parents today.
She staggered out of the tan
gled underground after a night
of torture at the hands of her
abductor, bleeding from numerous
cuts.
She bore superficial knife
wounds-penknife scratches on
her throat and hands and arms.
While all available detectives
and State troopers were searching

night, she walked out of the
woodlands near Springfield. N. j.,
eight miles from here, and

INVASION
Marine Workers. Delegation
Refused White House
Charity Appeal

Another invasion of Wash
ington, even exceeding that of
the recent bonus army, loomed
today as President Hoover re-
fused to receive a delegation
representing the Marine Work
ers Industrial Union and the
Waterfront Unemployed Coun-
ellis.
The delegation of eight men,
led by George Mink, international
chairman of the organization, ar
rived at the White House with a
petition asking adequate relief in
the form of charity from various
welfc~e institut'ocs and passage
of a workers unemployed insur-
ace bill.
s,a---- Mink Leaves Warning
The men we're received, after
a long wait, by Theodore Joslin,
one of the Presidents secretaries.
Following a short conference, out
side the Presidents chambers,
Joslin told Mink the President
could not receive them. Then
Mink said:
you tell President Hoover
that we are leaving now. But,
also tell him that we are COM
ing back. We are organizing
our forces and we shall return
here when Congress cOnveneS
with thousands of men,"
Mink turned on his heel to go
but then again faced Joslin and
said:
Don't forget to tell that to
the President. Also tell him
that thousands of Seamen are
starving to death and each day
many of them are jumping in
the river there"
LOOKS FOR 10000
Mink said that call to seamen
all over the nation would be broad
cast for a march upon the nations
capital when Congress convenes.
He said the army would number
approximately 10000.
Asked how he intended to quar-
ter the men here if they should
intend to stay any length of
time, Mink replied:
THAT is something that we
can easily work out. And we
shall stay here until we get re-
lief. We shall not leave as the
bonus army did. We are
sailors and we know how to
fight if they try to put us out.
We're coming back and the
President will hear from u.s."
