TARIFF SIGNING
TOEND REPR|SALS
Excess LevieS on About so
Articles to Be Lifted at
$50 Tonight.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Retaliatory tariffs on a number of
articles imported into the United
States will be discarded automatically
when President Roosevelt signs the
new tariff bargaining bill tonight at
$50 O'Clock.
Specified in the parts of the 1890
law to be repealed are about 80
articles, which were made subject to
such excess. equalzing rates-over
and above the regular rate-in cases
where foreign nations imposed duties
higher than the American tariff.
Included under these actual or
possible rates were such articles as
automobiles, trucks, bodies, motor
bus chassis and parts, motor cycles,
bicycles, paperboard, wallboard, pulp
board, cardboard, leatherboard, leather
compress, timber, spars, lumber, an
thracite or bituminous coal. or their
products, coke, culrn, slack, shale, gum
powder. sporting powder and other
explosives.
Statistics showing the tariffs actu-
ally imposed on these articles by other
countries, and what specific effect the
change in law will have were not
Immediately available. Officials said
the change was not considered of
great Importance because of the
small amount of goods affected.
1t was learned. however, that Brit
ish automobiles stand to benefit. for
the duty will be reduced to the basic
tariff of from 10 to Is per cent de-
spite 1919 per cent tariff on Amer
lean vehicles going into Great Britain.
The sections repealed were consid-
cred in violation of the most-favored
nation clause incorporated in most
American tariff agreements.
A proviso placing fir, spruce, pine,
hemlock, and larch from Canada and
Mexico on the free list also Is
repealed.
President Roosevelt set the definite
hour to sign the bill so the new rates
would go into effect at all ports at the
same time. The measure empowers
him to change tariffs as much as so
per cent up or down in negotiating
reciprocal trade agreements with other
nations.

M'CARRAN AND SEAL
TO URGE MILK PROBE
Two Will Go Before Senate Audit
Committee to Argue for
Resolution.

Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada, and Elwood H Seal, assistant
corporation counsel of the District,
were scheduled to go before the Sen
ate Audit and Control Committee at
2 pm. today in an effort to convince
members Of the group the McCarran
resolution authorizing a Nationwide
milk investigation should be reported
favorably.
The resolution already has the ap-
prevail of the Senate Agriculture
Committee. The only question to be
taken up by the Audit and Control
Committee is whether funds are avail
able In the Senate's contingent fund
to bear the expense Of the inquiry.
McCarran, who was vice chairman
Of the Senate District Milk Investi-
eating Committee, and Seal, who was
the committees counsel, expect to
show that every taxpayer In the coun-
try Is vitality concerned with milk and
that the District inquiry uncovered
sufficient registering and shady prac-
tees In the dairy industry here to
warrant expansion Of the investiga-
Hon on Q countrywide scale. -.

TOBACCO CONTROL
BILL is APPROVED
Senate Agriculture Committee
Acts and Chairman Will Press
for Early Passage. -,
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Agriculture Commit
tee today approved without change the
House bill to control tobacco produc-
ton through taxation.
The bill is along the lines Of the
Bankhead compulsory cotton control
measure passed earlier in the session.
Chairman Smith said he would
press for final action before adjourn
ment.
The bill would authorize the Secre-
tary of Agriculture to impose tax of
1919 per cent of the selling price on
growers who refused to abide by quotas
assigned by the Farm Administration.
He would have the discretion, however,
to make this only Is per cent.
Tax-exemption warrants would be
issued to growers to enter into the A.
A. A. agreements and in certain coun-
ties where the production agreements
did not provide an equitable distribu-
ton the Secretary could increase the
quotas by per cent.
The tax would be applicable to all
tobacco harvested in the crop year
1934-35 except Maryland tobacco, Vir-
ginia sun-cured and cigar-leaf to-
bacco.

HOUSING MEASURE
CALLED FOR PASSAGE
Amendments in Prospect-Mort-
gage Association Plan May
Be Restored.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
After statements had been made
that administration officials had mis-
represented the position of the Bank
ing Committee, House leaders today
brought the housing bill to the floor
for four hours of debate and a vote
tomorrow on passage.
Because of reports that the bill was
not satisfactory to the administration.
the Rules Committee decided to leave
it open to amendments on the floor
One amendment will be to restore
a section stricken out by the COM
mittee permitting the establishment
Of national mortgage associations.
Another will be to restore the
original provision permitting the en-
ployment of the bill for low-cost
housing (slum elimination) projects.
Representative Luce, Republican of
Massachusetts,, said two young men
who have been prominent in the
drafting Of this legislation have mis-
represented the position of this COM
mittee in the press"

Activities of the Federal Govern
ment in the field of home improve
ment and reconditioning - both
through the Home Owners Loan Cor
poration and under the housing bill
experts in the building industry as
paving the way to a permanent hous-
ing service of this kind in America.
The need for establishing and con-
tinuing such service has long been
recognized by far-sighted business
men, architects, builders and public
officials. BY developing a practical
system of reconditioning and modern
ization which will be at the command
OF every home owner in the country.
the Government is seen as being in
a position now to lay the foundation
for a permanent structure OF this
character.
Home repair and modernization, a
campaign for which is now being sg-
gressively pushed in the metropolitan
area of washington by The Star
through its $1,000 Better Homes Con-
test, are regarded as of vital i'm
portance with fundamental principles
which should be followed In carrying
it out.
Reasons for ModernizinK.
Primarily, the reasons for modern
izing and repairing a home are to
extend its life and increase and main
tain its value, and to add to its con-
venience and liveability, making it
more useful and more readily mar
ketable.
Home reconditioning and improve
ment, authorities on the subject de-
clare, should be kept within the limits
Of sound judgment. Ill-considered
work, they say, means unwarranted
expense, disappointing results and an
onerous burden Of debt on the home
owner.
Careful appraisal of the house it
self and a thorough knowledge of
the locality in which it is situated
are factors which should be placed
ahead of all other considerations
when formulating any program of
home modernization. The rise or de-
cline of the neighborhood as a resi-
dental district, real estate experts

account, for these are Of equal i'm
portance as the structural elements
and lot dimensions Of the property
iself from the standpoint Of the in

Under the mechanism being set up
by H. o. L. G. and by the administra-
ton under the housing bill, the way
is open for laying the ground work
for better and sounder construction
and better home values, the abolition
of extravagances of speculative build
ing and wasteful home-financing
practices which have contributed to
costly home ownership and insecurity
in the past, IN the opinion of those
who are following closely the develop
ment Of these Government activities.
Prices Still Below Normal
Leaders in the building trades are
urging home owners contemplating
improvements to begin now to lay
plans for this work, so that when
funds become available under the
Governments program, they will be
ready to proceed without delay. Prices
are still below normal levels, they
point out. and home owners are still
in a position to benefit by these low
costs.
The Stars Better Homes Contest is
providing additional incentive for
home improvements in the Capital
area. Hundreds Of property owners
have applied to this newspaper for
information and contest entry blanks,
and by September Is, when the judges
will select the winners of $1,000 In
rrizes, it is expected the array of con-
testants now entered will be greatly
increased.

and less, and for homes valued at
more than $4,000. In each class the

opinion that, had there been more

STEEL COMPROMISE SEEN.

PITTSBURGH, June IL P.-A
possible compromise suggestion by
workers at their special convention
in Pittsburgh Thursday, and hints of
Government Intervention appeared
today as the only bright spots in the
strike clouds Shrouding the steel
industry.
Leaders of both factions of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers turned thumbs
down on the National Labor Board S
suggested three-man industrial rela-
tons board, which the operators have
accepted.
Joining an earlier denunciation Of
the proposed board plan by the more
outspoken and younger Rank and File
Committee of the union, Michael F.
Tighe, veteran president of the Anal
gamated, left loophole for a COM
promise.
Our Executive Committee in recon-
vening the fifty-ninth annual con-
vention restricted discussion and &C.
ton solely to ways and means of
achieving the seven-point program
approved last April" said Tighe.
This program begins with a de-
mand for recognition of our organ
1zation as the collective bargaining
agents of our members. 1t later pro-
poses holiday during the middle of
June. I take it that ways and means
can mean open discussion of whether
holiday is the method necessary to
achieve our aims-that is recognition. 4"
Members of the Rank and File
Committee of the union worked over
time meanwhile. urging support of the
strike sentiment. Its leaders include
William Long of Weirton, w. Va;
William j. Spang of Duquesne, Pa,
and Earl Forbeck of McKeesport, Pa.
The more than $50 lodges of the
union, claiming more than 100000 of
the 100000 workers in the industry,
held meetings to discuss the situation
Several, notably in the Gary, Ind, dis
trict, affirmed their readiness to strike
if the steel companies persist in re-
fusing recognition.
Steel executives in the Pittsburgh
area insisted less than 10 per cent of
the workers are involved in the strike
move, but said privately they fear
possible trouble from rowing bands
should employees receive inadequate
police protection"
The Republic Steel Corporation in
Warren, Ohio, announced it will
operate, even though strike is called
Practically all the other large steel
concerns indicated they will attempt
to do the same.
