OIL CONF FEREES
CAN 7 AGREE

Rival factions today marshalled
forces for a bitter fight on the
issue of Government control of
the oil industry.
Three days of wrangling as Sec.
retary of the Interior Ickes sought
a stabilizing program sent two
widely divergent plans to the
White House. but the real fight
has just begun.
The fact that a heavy majority
of industry leaders and oil States
representatives supported a plan
placing petroleum under the pro-
tecting wing of the Federal Gov.
ernment failed to daunt the
minority.
Headed by John B. Elliott of
California and j. r. Parten of
Texas, Independents, the little
minority group sent short draft
to the President asking abolish.
ment of the Federal Oil conserva-
ton board and opposing all Fed
eral regulation.
The majority counted it's pro
gram a success. It's members were
highly elated that, for once, a
considerable portion of the oil in.
dustry, corporate interests, and
oil State governors representa-.
tiveS drafted program agreed to
by virtually everyone.

BABCOCK To AID
MORGENTHAU

H. E.. Babcock, of Ithaca, N. Y,
has been selected as assistant to
Henry Morgenthau, jr., chairman
of the Farm Credit Administra-
tion.
Babcock, who has been associ-
ated with farm cooperative work
since graduation from Syracuse
University in 1911, will have the
job of marketing the vast stores
of cooperative associations against
which the old Farm Board loaned
$157 ,236,323.35.
Morgenthau said bcock
planned to place the products on
the market in an orderly manner,
realizing as much as possible from
sales, and at the same time to
save as many of the cooperatives
from failure as possible.
Babcock said he realized some
of the associations would not come
through. He will take over his

MEDICINAL RUM
BEFORE HOUSE

Restrictions on prescription
liquor under which doctors and
patients have chafed for years
likely will be removed today.
The House, under special rule
limiting general debate to an hour,
was to take up the measure today
with every prospect of early
passage.
The Senate passed it yesterday
with only minor amendments,
which Representative Celler CD
of New York, author Of the House
measure, argeed to accept.
The present law limits doctors
to 100 prescriptions each three
months, provides that the all
ment for which liquor is pre-
Scribed must be stated in each
case, and forbids prescribing
more than a pint once in each
10 days for any one patient.
Three main purposes are
sought in the legislation-to
enable any diseased, injured, or
disabled person to obtain medici-
nal liquor in quantities his physic-
ian deems necessary; to insure to
patients secrecy concerning the
ailment for which liquor is pre-.
Scribed, and to simplify prescrip-
tions at an estimated saving of
$4,000 a year to the Govern
ment.

"A resolution for broader power

approved today by the Senate
steering committee in charge of
the investigation.
The committee agreed to drop
the inquiry into the affairs of

At the same time it prepared
for a showdown fight with the
big private banking houses, includ-

Senator Fletcher CD of Flor

COLLECTIONS have been raised
by the private bankers, particu-
larly the Morgan bank, to fur

sired by the committee.

lOOphOleS that they can take
advantage of.
"The brOadened authority we
seek will apply to investment

merely to the Morgan COM

The committees move was de-
cided upon after Ferdinand Pc

with a long fuse. The bomber
apparently lowered the box into
the cellar, using piece of cord.
Father Coughlin, the Rev. John
Tully, assistant pastor of the
shrine parish, and a guest, Father
Williams, a Franciscan monk,
were awakened by the explosion.
The home is about two blocks

Measure Comes Up in Senate
Tomorrow if Relief Act
Is Out of Way

The District beer bill,
authorizing the manufacture
and sale of 80 per cent beer
and wine, may be taken up
for consideration by the Sen
ate tomorrow, it was indicated
today following it's report this
afternoon.
Senator Millard E. Tydings CD
of Maryland, chairman of the
subcommittee which revised the
House draft of the bill, submitted
the redrafted measure shortly
after noon. The measure was ap-
proved yesterday by 7-to-2 vote
of the Senate District Committee.
Relief Bill Comes First
Senator Joseph T. Robinson
Cd of Arkansas, majority floor
leader, declared that there is a
strong possibility that the bill will
be taken up for consideration to-
morrow. This will be done. how
ever, only in the event that the
pending Wagner relief bill is dis
posed of tonight.
Senator Robinson and other
leaders have repeatedly given as
surance that they will support the
District beer bill and expedite its
passage so that it may become
operative on April 7. when the re-
Gently enacted national beer law
goes into effect.
Faces Devious Course
The bill to be enacted into law
must go through many stages of
technical procedure.
If and when adopted by the
Senate, it will be returned to the
House for approval of the many
Senate amendments. If the
House refuses to accept all
amendments, the bill must then
be sent to conference in an at
tempt to reach a compromise
agreement between representa-
tives of the House and Senate.
The agreement would then have
to be approved before the bill
could be sent to the President for
his signature.
Solicitors Fee

an additional solicitors license
with a fee of ST per year, to be
issued to persons soliciting orders
for beverages included in the
measure.

MITCHELL
Says Country Lacks Adequate
Defense; BattIeships
Called "A Racket"

Declaring the nation "has no
real air service" and branding
b a tile Zip building as q
racket" Brig. Gen. William
Mitchell (retired), wartime
chief of aviation, today urged
Congress to revolutionize the
national defense.
Testifying before the House
Military Affairs Committee, Nit
chell held members spellbound
while he detailed an almost fan
tastic picture of future warfare
He demanded first of all crea,
ton of a single department of
national defense to include the
Army, the Navy and the Air
Corps
Pictures Future Wars
Here are some of his state,
ments:
Future wars will be won by
attacking vital centers of in
dustry and not on far away
battlefields.
The United States needs O.
000 bombers capable of flying
5000 miles with 1000 pounds
of bombs each, and so NAM
moth zeppelins.
The nations biggest prob
lem is defense on the Pacific
Coast.
Battleships and other surface
Navy ships, except the flying
deck cruisers, will be useless
against first class power.
Sub Most Potent
The submarine is the most
potent naval weapon and Ger
many almost reduced England
to starvation with it.
The present regular Army is
the best peace time Army the
country ever had. He would
not change it.
Airplanes which attack in.
dustrial centers in the future
will drop bombs containing
death-dealing chemical gases.
Mitchell said a single depart
ment of national defense, which
included division for aviation,
the Army and Navy, and a new
defense policy, would save the
nation $25O,OO0,OOO to 3OO,O0O,-
900 a year. He declared:
Nations in the future will
attack the heart of a country.
Our bombing of Rhine cities
during the World War had
much to do with the German
people wanting to quit the war.
PREPARING AIR ATTACK
"They knew we were prepar-
ing to bomb cities in the heart
of the Rhine country in 1919.
We were assembling the equip
ment, and we would have ended
the war in two weeks by that
method.
"The attack in the future will
be made with a unified air

Slash Would Bring Rate Down
To $3.50; Mrs. Norton Joins
King Stand on Issue

Representative Thomas u.
Blanton (D.) Of Texas today
promised District residents
that there would be a 20c re-
duction in the local tax rate
during the 1884 fiscal year.
Blanton asserted that if the Dis
trict Commissioners did not volun.
tarily cut the rate, he was conf
dent Congress would take neces-
sary action to do so.
The Texas Representative, often
called the "arch foe" of the Dis
trict, has discussed the proposed
cut in taxes with District officials.
$2,6OO,OOO Saving
The reduction of 20 cents in
the rate would cut it from $1.70 to
$3.50. The reduction, it was esti.
mated, would save approximately
50, 100000 a year.
Blanton said his desire to cut
the tax rate was inspired by the
fact that under the 1884 budget a
surplus would pile up in the
Treasury.
District Auditor Daniel J. Don.
ovan said today that if the bill
is passed, reducing the District
budget $6,00O,00O below the pre-
vious estimate, and $11,000,000
below 1888 appropriations, there
will be a probable surplus Of
100000 in the District treasury
at the end of the coming fiscal
year, which terminates June 80,
1884.
Tax-Cutting Power
Of this sum-, Major Donovan
said, approximately $6,100.000 will
accrue from the general revenue,
$1,800,000 from the gasoline tax,
and $1,400,O00 from the water
revenue.
Under an act of Congress
passed in 1922 the District Com
missioners have the power to
apply such surpluses to reduc-
ton of the tax rate on real and
personal property for the follow
ing fiscal year. unless such action
is specifically prohibited by Con-
greSS.
With the House definitely
scheduled to take up the bill next
Tuesday, Representative Mary T.
Norton CD of New Jersey, chair.
man of the House District Com
mittee, last night joined with Sem
ator William H. King CD Of
Utah, chairman of the Senate
House group, in urging tax cuts if
Congress passes the supply bill in
it's present form.
Cut in Proportion
Mrs. Norton, like Senator King,
said that there should be a cut
in taxes proportionate to the drop
in District maintenance costs.
She also expressed the belief
that it is illogical and indefen-
Sible" to collect more taxes than
are essential.
Her disapproval of the Budget
Directors action in recommending
slashes in appropriations which
will build up huge surplus in
the Treasury was voiced.
Senator David I. Walsh (DD Of
Massachusetts,, discussing the pro-
posed slash in District expendi.

priation bill would not pass until

homes were built whose rent
would be low enough for those
whose salaries are under S2,O0O

nearly two-thirds of all American
families. At the same time, ne

there during the past ten years
was for the II per cent of the
people with incomes from $4,000
to $4,000 a year. The incomes Of
48 per cent of the people, he
says, were so low that they could
not afford any of the newly-bulit
residences.
consequently" he went on
"many low wage earners were
encouraged to assume rent bur
dens that were too heavy, with
subsequent disaster to both the
producers and the users.
"That means that half of Phila-
delphia's population must live IN
the old obsolete houses, many OF
which are not fit for human habl-
tation."
Holsman cites many other in
stances of cities with poor hous-
ing accommodations for low wage
earners and concludes that con-
struction of this type not only
would benefit the nation at large
in its drive toward recovery by
supplying work, but would prove
most beneficial to those who earn
small salaries, from the stand
points of health, sanitation ana
general welfare.
