Harmony in Peril
Fear was expressed that the

political harmony which has
marked consideration of the tax
measure.
Among the taxes being con.

were sales levies on airplanes, ice

of electricity.
Within the past few days, the
House has been forced to revive
many of miscellaneous taxes
levied during and Immediately

defeat of the sales tax.
The situation created by Mills

FASTS 10 DAYS
IN PROTEST ON
LACK OF WORK
Scholar With 3 Degrees,
Master of 8 Languages
Slowly Is Starving.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Re-
fuSing temporary job, DR.. Frede-
rick F. Wolter, 81, holder Of three
university degrees, today entered
the nineteenth day of his starva-
ton protest against unemployment.
Wolter, a trained librarian and
master Of eight languages, says he
is determined to starve himself to
death unless he is offered a per-
manent suitable" position.
The temporary job offered Wolter
was cataloging some books in a
college library here at SIS week.
Wolter declared the salary was too
low, and besides lit would not ac-
complish anything"
He denied, however, that his self
imposed starvation should be con-
sidered as suicide. He said:
MY action must not be regarded
as an attempt at suicide but as the
logical course of action required by
circumstance. am ready to break
my fast as soon as a suitable po-
sition is assured me or means of a
decent, though frugal, livelihood are
placed at my disposal.
Prefers to Starve Rapidly
eff I am destined to a life of
starvation, I prefer to starve rapid
ly.
ITO take up this course of action
not only consider it my personal
right, but my prescribed duty as an
American citizen, in order to arouse
the public conscience by directing
attention to social abuses and thus
giving an impetus to reforms"
Authorities agreed that Wolter
had legal right to Starve himself
to death if he wanted to do so. w.
w. Bride, District of Columbia
counsel, looked up the law, and
found no statutes or precedents
which would permit the police or
agencies to interfere.
Wolter today weighed 1875 pounds,
having lost about one pound daily
since he began fasting. He has
had to give up walking outdoors and
now finds it difficult to climb the
stairs to his little third-fioor room
at the Salvation Army hotel. He
has enough money to pay his room
rent there until March %.
According to DR.. L. r. Thompson
of the public health service, star
walton usually brings death when the
body weight has dropped 40 per
cent below normal. In VOTERS case
this would be when he has lost
t1fty-eight pounds.
Experiences of a Scholar
DR.. Thompson said the most cele-
brated starvation case in medical
history was that Of a man named
Merlatti, who recovered after fast
ing for so days.
During the second week of his
fast, DR.. Wolter wrote a 68-page
statement recounting his expert
ences and outlining his views of
American life. His statement bore
the title, 1.-THE Experiences of a
Scholar in Washington
He told how he came to this
country from New Zealand in 1924,
secured a position in the Library of
Congress, and then resigned in 1926
