President Roosevelt has &C.
cepted an invitation to address
a joint session Of the House and
Senate on May 20 to eulogize
the famous Frenchman, Lafay-
cite.
With acceptance Of the invi'
tation he accepts a challenge to
prove himself q diplomat.
Lafayette Is one Of the heroes
of the Revolution. But Lafay
cite was French.
And France has defaulted on
her debts and at present is a
country without favor in the
eyes of the American people.
So there are those on Capitol
Hill who wonder if the Chief
Executive will be able to praise
the memory Of the French hero
without lauding the country Of
France sufficiently to arouse the
ire of his own people.

HEAVENS WILL BE SURVEYED FROM
 GREAT DISTANCE
$5O,OOO Gift is Presented to Harvard to Aid Star
 Census

Cambridge, Mass, Mar. 15- (UP)- A ''star census". in which the heavens will be surveyed for a distance of 500, 0,000,O00,0OO,000,0 ,000,- 900 (quintillion) miles, has been aided by a $50,000 gift to the Har- yard Astronomical Observatory.
 The gift was from Earl Wilson Bemis, retired engineer, of Wor- cester, who gave an additional $50,- 900 to the Gray Herbarium of Har- yard University, which houses 85,- 900 sheets of mounted specimens of towering plants, ferns and fern allies from all parts of the world. Last year he gave the herbarium $10,000.
 Dr. Harlow Shapley, director of the astronomical observatory, ex- plained that 10 years may be re- Quired to survey all galaxies out to a distance of hundred million light years, with staffs working Harvard observatories in South Af- rica and Oak Ridge. Two years ago Harvard finished complete sur vey of all galaxies, or irregular luminous bands of stars in the heavens, to a distance of 10 mill lion light years. A galaxy has about a billion stars and within the 10 million light-year area were found some 1900 galaxies. Dr. Shapley ex- poets to find about 300,000 galaxies within the next 10 years.
 The South African observatory already has found 100000 galaxies and about $500 have been located at Oak Ridge.
 Harvard is the only observatory in a position to make such com plete survey of the galaxies be- cause of it's special telescope equip ment and because it has both northern and southern stations squipped with suitable apparatus.

 CASE SETTLED
Battle of New Milford Resi- dents and the Light
 and Power Co.

New Milford, Conn, March 15- CUP) - The four-year-old legal battle between eight New Milford residents and the Connecticut Light & Power company over con- demnation of land for a power line right-of-way. has been settled out of court, it was learned to-day
 The trouble started in 1930 when the company condemned the properties and superior court condemnation committee allowed $1,700 damages. .
 The owners attacked the consti- tutionality of the company's char ter which denied them review of the proceedings and applied in su- perior court for ap injunction. The court denied the petition and was sustained by the supreme court of errors, which upheld the validity of the charter.
 Settlement came after the su- preme court found errof in rul- ing of Superior Court Judge AL fred c. Baldwin theowners had no right to remonstance from the committees award, and a writ of error was filed.
 Involved in the action were Har- ry and Helen Antman, Raymond Hine, George and Robert Ferriss, Charles D. Van Horne and Edward and Herbert Brown.

INCOME TAXESON
 WAY TOCAPITAL
Pouring Into the Treasury at Triple Rate of Last
 Years Rush

Washington, March 15- (U.P.) Income tax payments poured in- to the federal treasury to-day at triple last years rate with the ap- proach of the return filing deadline at midnight tonight.
 Collectors offices throughout the country were swamped with tax payers seeking to get their returns in on time to avoid the risk of 8 25 per cent penalty for tardy filing. All mailed returns bearing a post mark prior to midnight will be considered lon time."
 The increase in business activity last year over the previous year, which resulted in higher incomes, was credited with the higher rate of collections, as was the aggres- sive tax collections put into effect by Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr.
 After tagging behind the prev vious fiscal year, income tax collec- tions from July 1, last, the start of the current fiscal year, to date, have crossed the $400,000,000 mark to approximately the level of the collections at this time year ago.
 President Roosevelt's budget es- inmates place prospective collec- tions for the current fiscal year which ends June 30, at $847,000,. 900, leaving S400.000,000 to be col- lected in the next few months.

cent rate restoration instead of the 100 per cent the senate voted.
 Compensation to Spanish -Ameri- can war veterans would be restored to 75 per cent of the re-economy act rates instead of 90 per cent as the senate voted. The house op- posed the senate amendments which restored certain emergency officers to pension rolls. and which provided double pensions for de- pendents of the Akron and Shenan. doah dirigible disasters.
 Were washed up," said Rep. William Connery, Jr., democrat, Massa chusetts. head of the house veterans bloc, who tough for seven hours during the session to have the house accept the senate amend ments unchanged. He admitted chagrin at the topsy turvy action of the house which first voted down resolution to send the bill to conference PAT to 189 and then swung around in considering the senate amendments to make change which virtually nullifled the earlier action.
 Although house members were several hours late getting home to dinner. they brought with them a tentative gift--ilamely a vote against the Borah senate amend ment which would have kept their salaries and all those over $6,000 under the 15 per cent economy ac- tion reduction.
