whose revenue producing capacity the
Senate almost doubled.
Chairman Doughton of the Ways
and Means Committee said he did not
like the bill very much and that the
Senate simply wrote it to show its
superiority"
Treadway Is Caustic.
why burden the American people
with increased taxes just to satisfy
the hobbies of few Senators?" asked
Representative Treadway of Massa-
chusetts, ranking Republican on the
Ways and Means Committee.
1T is evident that the so-called
Senate Progressive ran away with the
Finance Committee. 1t was to be eX-
pected that the Senate would make
some changes in the House bill, but it
was not anticipated that the bill
would be completely rewritten, without
regard either to the advice of the ad-
miniStration or to the possible effect
of increased taxes upon business and
recovery"
Treadway said tedious conference
is in prospect" and predicted "the
eventual law will be nearer the House
bill than the bill as amended by the
Senate"
Some of the controversial items ap-
proved by the Senate already have
been sent to the White House for
study.
Representative Samuel B. Hill, DEM
ocrat of Washington, who headed the
Ways and Means Committee that
originally drafted the bill to prevent
tax avoidance through loopholes in
the income tax law, also disapproved
most of the Senate amendments.
Rainey Agrees.
Informed Of the position of Dough-
ton and Hill, Speaker Rainey said:
IF they don't like it, l don't like
it either. I'm willing to accept their
viewpoints on that bill
Doughton said many changes made
by the Senate had not been well con-
sidered.
THE Senate always has to show its
superior knowledge" he said. IF it
didn't, there would not be much ex-
cuse for its existence"
Asked what the House would ce
about it. Doughton replied:
81 don't know yet. We may have
to accept more changes than we like"
Doughton said the Ways and Means
Committee did not start out to i'm
pose new additional taxes" in its bill,
but to try to prevent tax avoidance"
SO far as am concerned" Dough-
ton said. Il am not in favor OF the
10 per cent super tax" He added he
thought the estate tax increases i'm
posed by the amendment offered by
Senator La Toilette. Republican. of
Wisconsin, looks like its going pretty
far"
Full Revision Mentioned.
cit occurs to me that if we are
going into that" Doughton said, I'VE
ought to go into a full revision of the
tax laws. This was not contemplated
at this time in our bill"
Discussing the Senate provision
abolishing consolidated returns,
DOughton said Wnen the ways ana
Means Committee considered this
proposal, it was made clear in my
mind that it would work very grave
hardships, especially on railroads"
1.-The railroads convinced us that
it would do harm to them by forcing
them to incorporate in every State
and it would cost other industries mil

He added that if the consolidated
returns were abolished, there should
be exceptions to public service cor
porations, If they could be constitu-
tionally and legally made.

Step Necessary.
Although N. r. A. was reluctant to
assume Jurisdiction over this private
financing, the step was made neces-
sary If code privileges were to be with
held from non-contributors.
A definite condition of the order
issued by Lynch is that under no
circumstances may any code authority
demand a contribution to the expense
of code administration by any member
of the trade or industry Mnless the
code contains a provision where
under non-payment of an equitable
share of the cost of code administra-
ton constitutes code violation and
Whereunder the administrator shall
have approved an itemized budget and
an equitable basis of contribution"
President Roosevelt's order recog-
nized the legal difficulty of imposing
by Government fiat a set of dues
upon any groups by providing that
the regulations issued shall become
effective as part of any code: Upon
application therefor Cd pursuant to
the provisions of the code relating
to amendments thereto or (2) by one
or more trade or industrial associa-
tions or groups truly representative

sion thereof covered by the code, if

But all industries which have estab-

every other good citizen, would not

obStruct Col Ristine in the perform
ance of his duties"
Black said he opposed "any move
ment which I believe would put OBJ
stacles in the way Of the officials OF
the United States in bringing the
guilty to Justice" but promised to call
a committee meeting to determine
whether "it desires to travel outside

Black criticized Austin for question:

ing from the committees inquiry,
branded as "monstrous falsehoods"
published reports that Lindbergh had
been led into the interview by ruse,

transcript of the conversation sent
to Lindbergh.
Ristine said meeting had been ar
ranged by mutual agreement for a
later date, but Lindbergh found he
had to leave the city sooner than ex-
pected and on March l6 asked that
it be held that night.
Ristine asserted he told Lindbergh
that he was under no legal compul-
sion to answer his questions.
The flyer telephoned his attorney in
New York, Ristine said, and was ad-
viSed to permit the inquiry to pro-
ceed provided A. G. Patterson, chief
investigator of the committee, left
the room.
Patterson told reporters he knew
nothing of what occurred between
the two as he was there for only a

is grey. This is an experiment to compare the visibility, submerg- ed. from aircraft as compared to the regulation grey.
 H Safety Devices
 We were vastly intrigued by the yellow marker buoys of which each submarine has two on deck, one oh the forecastle and one on the stern and could never have guess ed what was inside of them or what they were for. Imagine our surprise when we were told that they are released when a submar- inc is on the bottom and not able to come up and that each has a cute little brass sign on top say ing, Submarine sunk! Telephone inside" This is so people on the surface can communicate with those in the submerged craft and the telephone wires are contained in the cable holding the buoy. So now you'll know what to do when you see one bobbing on the water while fishing or cruising.
 The buoys are not the only re- source of the personnel in case of accident as each is equipped with escape trunks both forward and aft from which the men may leave the submarine after providing themselves with the famous ''Mom- sen lung" Another means of es- cape from sunken submarine is the rescue chamber carried on the rescue ship Ortolan which can be lowered over a submarine hatch and secured to it so that the per sonnel can be transferred from the submarine to the rescue cham Der, which is then hauled to the surface and the men removed. Six or eight at time can leave the vessels by this means. The Orto- Ian carries out this drill regularly | by actually removing men while ships are submerged.
 Approximate Size
 Both the Narwhal and Nautilu; are about 270 feet long and have an approximate beam of 30 feet They displace about 5000 tons or the surface and about 4,000 sub- merged. The Bass, Barracuda and Bonita are about $40 feet long and have about 27 foot beam with displacement of 2200 tons on the surface and 5000 submerged The Dolphin is the smallest of the ships here and is about 320 feet long and has a beam of 27 feet while it has a displacement oi around 1900 tons on the surface and 2200 when submerged.

 Sufficient fuel oil is carried aboard to cruise for from 12,00o to 15D9O miles. Incidentally the present cruise, which began at San Diego and included maneuv- CTS with the fleet at Panama, is one of the longest practice cruis- es made by submarines of the fleet and before returning to San Diego they will go to Honolulu , Letters and Numerals !, The letters and numerals paint ed on the sides of the ships .sug- gest the name and general type of the individual submarines, the B's are the Bass, Bonita, and Bar racuda; the Ms are Narwhal and Nautilis and D is the Dolphin. These ships and others of their type are appropriately named after fishes. After consulting Webster s we discover that Narwhal means north whale, of which the male is very playful and constantly irri- tating the female, or so it is said. A Bonita is a mackarel-like fish found on both sides of the At lantic; the bottle-nosed Dolphin is known to us as a porpOise and the Nautilus is a crusty shell fish found on the bottom of southern seas.
 Entertainment Aboard
 In addition to card games bridge, cribbage, poker, checkers and chess tournaments and acey- deucey, the navy backgammon, en- tertainment is found by men and officers cruising on submarines by reading, watching movies, reading the ships papers for which news is provided by navy press reports and listening to radios Each sub marine has a daily newspaper and four or five radios to help while away the hours. And, of course they eat and sleep. The Empire reporter was not able to find a single mascot aboard, unless it really was a cockroach we saw though we thought all naval ships had them
