PROGRAM
IN HOUSE,
Lower Branch Of Con-
gress Faces Test In Re-
yising Revenue Bill.
ACTION DEMANDED
Leaders OF Both Parties
Call On Members To
Balance Budget.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, March 28.-Tho
house faces a grave test as it set
ties down this week to revise new
taxes capable of producing the
billion dollar increase needed to
put the federal government on a
pay-as-it-goes basis.
Difficulties of this situation were
aggravated when the house fled
under pressure from constituents
and rejected the sales tax advo-
Gated by the house leaders. That
action has stirred up demand
that congress rise to its response
billy and balance the budget no
matter how painful the process
This demand was sounded by the
ranking spokesmen of both parties,
President Hoover on the Republican
side and Jouett Shouse, chairman
of the Democratic national execu-
tive committee.
They have, with widespread edi-
torial and other support, put il up
to the house members who are due
this week to consider alternative
tax proposals, to preserve the fed
eral financial integrity.
Failure to do so, it is argued.
would constitute a lapse which
would Immediately reflect seriously
on the nations credit and cause
declines not only in its own Sc
curities but indirectly in others.
A ways and means sub
committee worked all Easter Sun
day afternoon on substitutes for
the rejected s5Oo,00O000 sales tax
and resumed its deliberations this
morning. 1t hopes to have pro-
gram in shape for the full COM
mittee tomorrow. Meantime the
house had before it today pro-
posal for relief of western irriga-
ton districts.
LaGuardia Presses Plans
The subcommittee is giving most
attention to the original treasury
program calling for heavy taxes on
automobiles, radios, amusements,
bank checks and tobacco, coupled
with higher postage rates. Repre-
sentative LaGuardia (Rep) New
York, co-leader of the coalition
which wrecked the sales tax, is
pressing his plan for tax CT one
fourth of l per cent on all stock
exchange transactions, with an
extra one-fourth per cent on short
sales. He claims such tax would
raise more than $150,000,000.
The task of increasing taxes is
doubly difficult not only because
of reluctance of congressman to
vote higher taxes just before an
election, but because of terrific
pressure set up by special inter-
estS against which taxes are aimed.
President Hoover in his recent ap-
peal asked that the people and all
organizations support and not OBJ
struct congress III sound efforts to
reduce expenditures and adjust
taxes.
Members have been relentlessly
bounded by all sorts of groups and
individuals objecting to one tax or
another. That was one reason why
the ways and means committee fl
nally turned to the general sales
tax. Every special tax suggested
brought such woeful protests that
it was decided to lay the same tax
on all manufactures instead of
singing out few. Now the house
is back agan face to face with IT'S
original difficulty.

CLANTON, Ala, March %. -
Deadly storms struck the southland
twice within six days, returning for
an Easter visitation that left seven
dead, and SO injured, and the en-
tire countryside terrified.
Chiffon county, which reported
more than 40 dead to the toll of
more than 300 exacted by the first
storm, and Bibb county adjoining,
were hardest hit, reports today in
dicated.
Six of the dead were reported
at Lawley and Jemison, few miles
from here. There were uncon-
firmed reports of more dead at
Thorsby. In this latter town and
at Lomax where tent colonies had
been established for refugees, the
tents were swirled into the air and
swept before the wind as para
chutes in a hurricane.
The seventh known dead was Mrs.
Harvey Lewis of Buchanan, Ga,
who succumbed in a hospital at
Rome, Ga, at 5 a. m. today. She
was injured in the collapse of her
home.
The storm followed a course
somewhat similar to that of the
storm last Monday and passed at
one point within a mile of tangled
mass of wrecked homes left by the

Clanton's small brick hospital
was filled to capacity before night
fall. Most of those injured in the
previous storm had been removed

Birmingham and Montgomery
Others May Die
OF the 20 or 80 victims now in
Clanton hospital, 10 may not sur
vive their injuries, attendants said.
Three were listed officially as dead
in this county, two from Jemison
and one from Mount Pleasant.
The storm started in Bibb

BULGARIAN CAR
| EXPECTING HEIR
Child May Be Born to Former
Princess Giovanni at Re-
sort in Italy.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SORRENTO, Italy, December S.
Semi official reports have been received
that an heir to the throne of Bulgaria
is expected in the near future and that
it may be born in this fashionable Win
ter resort on the south shore Of the Bay
of Naples.
Car Boris III Of Bulgaria and Czarina
Giovanni, the italian princess who be-
came his bride two years ago, are among
several members of European royalty
who are expected in Sorrento during
the Winter.
Another is Princess Helen, divorced
wife Of King Carol of Rumania. The
announcement that she has chosen Sor-
rento as her home for six months has
put a final quietus on the persistent
rumors of an approaching reconcilia-
ton between her and the King. Prin-
cess Helen, who went to Rumania from
London about month ago to see their
son, Crown Prince Michael, on his elev-
enth birthday, left shortly thereafter
for Italy.
King Plans Visit.
King Victor Emanuel of Italy will
spend two months here and in Naples
with Queen Elena. Their daughter.
Giovanni, will be here at the same
time and it is expected that Gar Boris
will accompany or follow her. Prince
George of Greece, now living in Flor
ence, Is expected to accompany his sis
ter, Princess Helen, when she comes
here. She has been visiting him.
With all the royalty here, an ironical
touch is added by the fact that Sor-
rento is also the part-time home of
Maxim Gorky, famous Russian writer
and confirmed Communist and enemy
of royalty.
Gar Boris, who is 80 years old, and
Giovanni, who is now "a, have had no
children and the present heir to the
Bulgarian throne is the Cars younger
brother, Cyril Boris succeeded his
father, Ferdinand, who abdicated in
1918 and has been living in Saxe-Co-
burg Gotha.
Gar Has Broad Powers.
The Gar of Bulgaria has the right
to make laws other than those creating
new taxes, without recourse to the ma
tional parliament. He may also ini-
tate legislation as well as veto it and
make treaties through his ministers.

The marriage Of the dimpled Prin-
cess Giovanni and Boris two years ago
climaxed one of Europe's most appeal
ing royal romances. There were almost
insurmountable religious bars to the
union, but after years of negotiation
the Pope by special dispensation ruled
the marriage possible If their children
would be brought up In the Roman
Church. The Gar of Bulgaria, by law,
must profess the Greek or Orthodox
religion.
This question Of religion apparently
was settled then. If an heir is born to
them, it was pointed out, he or she "can
make q decision" when it is time to
ascend the throne.
Boris gave written promise that
any children born of the marriage
would without exception be baptized
and educated as Roman Catholics. To
the Vatican and to Italians generally
the Catholic marriage ceremony at AS
sissi, Italy, on october u.s. 1880, was the
real marriage, and Bulgarian rites
which followed were merely a routine
public function.
