PROTESTS MADE ID INCREASING TAX ON INCOMES
Regular Revolt Takes Place in Both Houses of
 Congress Today BLOC OPPOSITION
 STIRS THINGS UP Speeches Are Made De- manding Resignation
 Public Officials

WASHINGTON, May 26.-A Con- gressional revolt against imposing hig,ser income taxes when some of the countrys wealthier men have been paying none, imperiled the Roosevelt public works pro- gram and spurred hasty plugging of tax law holes today
 The revelations of the Morgan inquiry, especially showing that Morgan and his partners in the firm, have paid no income tax during two of the hardest years of depression, resulted in pouring stream of protests from 'back home" upon Congress already up in the air over the revelations.
 At Higher Tension
 This pressure reached the high est tensity in the House today which had up for passage before nigntfa1I the public works and in dustrial control bill carrying the new and highly onerous schedule of high income taxes.
 The tax protest mingled witt the bloc opposition to suspending the antitrust laws necessary tc the industrial program for com binations to boost prices, cut pro duction and raise wages, promises the measure the stiffest opposi- ton yet faced by the Roosevelt Bill.
 Confident of Victory
 Party leaders have to work the hardest but they are confident of victory after hastily deciding to amend the bill to prevent hold CTS of securities, such as the Mor- gan partners, from carrying over part of the years losses to cancel income tax they would otherwise pay the next year. This has been the system so far until last year that they could carry over such losses for two years.
 The passage of the Glass Banking Bill accomplished yesterday after noon by the Senate, strips the Morgan and Company of much oi it's power by the tight limits pul on private banking houses.
 In both Houses today there were bursts of speeches demanding tht resignation of Secretary of Treas ury Woodin and also Special Am bassador Norman H. Davis, Ameri' ca's representative at the disarma ment conference in Geneva ant who is to represent this govern ment at the London economi' conference. The resignation O Dean Acheson, new Assistant Sec retary of Treasury, is also demand cd.
 The names of Woodin, Davi and Acheson are among hundred; of others oA the Morgan favored lists of men sold stocks below tht public price. Davis also borrowed from the Morgan House.
 The Administration appeared re. solved to ride out this tide, deter. mined to keep it's valued officials and it also stood pat on the new high income taxes to finance tht three billion dollar public work issue.

The Book of Joshua breathes the
spirit of courage and conquest ex-
actly suited to the times in which we
live. The story opens with the call of
Joshua and his divine investiture as
successor to Moses. The majestic
phrases in which this call is couched
ring like bugle note down the ages
"Arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and
all this people, unto the land which
do give to them, even to the children
of Israel. Every place that the sole
of your foot shall tread upon,
that have l given unto you, as l said
unto Moses. Be strong and of good
courage, for unto this people shalt
thou divide for an inheritance the
land, which 1 sware unto their fathers
to give them"
Just across the Jordan, directly in
their path, was the walled city of
Jericho, like an ancient Gibraltar at
the gateway of Palestine. 1t seemed
impregnable, and a heartless stout
would have quailed at the prospect
of seige. However, Joshua obedient
to the divine command, did the simple
thing Jehovah bade him do, and the
apparently insurmountable difficulty
disappeared.
Joshua moved on to Shecken, where
he established his headquarters for
the conquest of Canaan. From this
city as a center his conquering army
moved against the inhabitants of the
land. The history of the Israelitish
invasion is told in the first five chap
tiers of this book.
Following the battle of Jericho
came the engagement at All which re-
suited so disastrously to the Israel
ties, because of the sin of Achan, who,
concealed in his tent wedge of gold,
two hundred sheckels of silver, and a
goodly Babylonish garment, which
had been consecrated for an offer
ing nuto the Lord. This covetousness
cost Israel the victory.
However, after the execution of the
wicked Achan, new attack was
launched against All, in which Joshua
employed much the same military
strategy as General Foch used in his
flexible lines. A large force was held
in reserve, a much smaller force sent
forward to assault the town. These
shock troops were instructed to give
way and pretend to be in full retreat.
Then suddenly, the reserves rushed
into battle, annihilating their enc
mics, and capturing the city, the liers
in wait being behind the city as well
as on the tanks of the attacking 1sra-
elites. Then when the men of Al came
out of their city to repel the invaders
the Israelites from their ambush in
the rear rushed in, set fire to the city
and carried away much spoil while the
garrison was being cut to pieces by
the army in front.
Few books would serve better as a
hand book of command and tactics
than the Book of joshua
Practically all of the cities famous
in Holy Writ were founded by the
ancient inhabitants Of this land, and
were taken over by the invaders and
colonized by them. Shechem, Sama-
ria, Ramah, Shiloh, Akron, Gideon,
Gath, Askelon, GAIA, Hebron, Jeru-
salem and Bethlehem breathes the
very spirit of revelation, and about
every one of them golden legends
cluster.

 The Upper Room" is ideally suitable for the Lenten season. It depicts dramatic scenes that fol- lowed the "Last Supper" the be- trayal of Christ and His journey to Calvary. It brings into prominence many of the leading figures of that tragic event. Mary, mother of God. Peter, Mary Magdalene. Veronica and others. It offers numerous pos abilities for the talented cast to give expression to their histrionic ability. Judging by their work this morning their interpretation of the play will be a surprise to their many admirers.
 Prof. Frederick Harmon, organ- ist and director of the Immaculate Conception choir will have charge of the special musical program to be presented in connection with the play.
 The sale of tickets and the num- Der of inquiries made point to a capacity audience for the presenta- ton, at the Strand one week from next Tuesday evening.
