BERLIN, May 2-Hermann Will

to strike a decisive blow at commun-
ism during the regimes second year
In power.
The warming was sounded In q
speech closing the official phase Of
Germany's May day exercises before
approximately 10000 persons.
After assailing enemies of the Nazis,
Goering vigorously exclaimed:
Stand together and sacrifice all
you have If necessary, but never sac
rifice your confidence in the leader!"
The setting sun, casting gliding
beams on the steel helmets of the
Reichwehr, added much to the glamour
of the scene when Goering proposed
three cheers for Chancellor Adolf
Hitler and culogized him as "the man
who lit the torch which lights Ger
many's road to better future"
The gigantic gathering at the Lust
garten followed one at Tempelhof Air
drome, where Chancellor Hitler de-
clared in speech heard by millions:
THE German people want no war
because they do not need additional
territory; they became great on
small area because of their special
talents and industry; they need no
tribute or contribution"

CITY HEADS DIFFER !
ON TAXI MEASURE.
Allen Files Dissenting 0pin.
ion on Compulsory In.
SuraHce Bill.

Members of the Board Of Commis-
sioners are split 2 to over terms Of
the proposed compulsory liability in
surance for taxicab operators. it de-
veloped today, when a report asking
congressional approval Of the bill was
sent to House and Senate District
Committees. Commissioner Allen dis
sented sharply from the position Of
Commissioners Hazen and Gotwals,
who urged early enactment Of the
measure.
The report urges upon Congress the
need Of requiring taxicab owners to
provide protection for the public
against financial losses resulting from
accidents due to the negligence or in
competence Of operators.
The bill was drafted by Corporation
Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman as a
climax to years of public agitation ia
voring financial responsibility for
taxicab operators.
When asked why he had dissented
from the report by the other COM
missioners, Allen said he feared that
more than 1000 of Washingtons taxi
cab drivers would be driven out of
business and that the result would
be an increase in taxicab rates.
He argued also it did not seem fair
to require taxicab operators to post
liability insurance unless all auto
mobile owners were required to do
likewise.
Strong argument for the measure
was made by Corporation Counsel
Prettyman, whose digest of the pro-
posed bill was forwarded to Congress

FEDERAL RESERVE
SEEKS NEW HOME
Black Urges Board Be Al
lowed to Erect Own
Building.

Gov Eugene Black of the Federal
Reserve Soard. appearing today before
the House Banking and Currency
Committee, strongly recommended the
construction of a Federal Reserve
Board building in Washington.
Authorization for the building is
carried in the Glass bill. authorizing
the Federal Reserve Board to create
in each Federal Reserve district a
credit bank for industry.
Mr.. Black said the proposed Fed
eral Reserve Board building would
cost in the neighborhood of 81 900, 900.
The necessary funds would be raised
by assessment of the II Federal Re-
serve Banks.
No money would be required from
the Federal Treasury. Gov. Black
pointed out that the Federal Reserve
Board at present had offices on three
different floors OF the Treasury De-
partment, that it leases rooms on three
floors in the Shoreham, and has some
rooms in a third building. He said
that this arrangement is inconvenient

board. When any statistical informa-
ton is desired the board has to send
three blocks for it, he said. For the
sake of efficiency, he said, it was
necessary to build home which would
house all the activities of the Federal
Reserve Board
If the Federal Reserve Board were
compelled to rent all the space it
needs here it would cost about $4,000
a year, according to Black. At pres
ent the Offices occupied in the Treas
ury Department are rent free.
Members of the committee said
after the hearing they saw no reason
why the Federal Reserve Board
should not be permitted to go ahead
with the construction of building
of its own.

SENATE TO BACK
HOUSE TAX VOTE
Robinson Expects Measure
Will Be Sent to White
House by Tomorrow.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senate acquiescence In House re-
lection Of the Couzens amendment to
the SALT .000, 900 tax bill, which would
have added 10 per cent levy to all
individual income tax returns was
predicted today.
Senator Robinson, Democratic
leader, indicated the House-approved
conference report on the bill would be
quickly disposed of tomorrow, and the
bill sent TO the White House.
The House late yesterday voted
down the Couzens amendment and
accepted the other changes a Con-
ference Committee had worked out.
The amendment was estimated to be
capable Of producing $55,O000O0 a
year.
Some Democrats for It,
1t was assailed by Republicans but
favored by some Democrats, led by
Representatives O'Malley, Democrat, of
Wisconsin, and Truax, Democrat, of
Ohio. They argued that those able to
contribute to the support of the Gov
eminent should pay.
The conference report was accented
by 253 to 106 and the 10 per cent
extra tax proposal voted down by 283
to II.
Party lines were broken on adoption
Of the conference report. Twenty-nine
Democrats were among those voting
against it; IA Republicans and 5
Farmer-Laborites for.
Advocates Of the Couzens amend
ments contended the SIS, 900 900 addi-
tlonal revenue it would produce was
needed to help meet the vast appro-
prlatlons made by this Congress.
Inc attack on the conference report
was led by Representatives Treadway
OF Massachusetts, and Bacharach of
New Jersey, Republican conferees. who
refused to sign the document. They
said the House of Representatives had
surrendered to the Senate.
Treadway said the bill as originally
passed by the House was for the pur-
pose Of plugging up loopholes in the
income tax law, but that it would
have produced S263, ,00O.O 900, which
was several millions more than the
administration asked for"
The Senate BILL" he said. (which
was the basis of the conference. goes
far beyond these stop-gaps and places
an entirely unnecessary burden on the
taxpayers.
Burden Thought Unneeded.
I see no reason for this tremendous
tax levy when indications are point
ing TO business recovery.
Such a bill as this will shatter
falth, deprive industry of confidence,
and lead to chaotic conditions.
II the Democratic party wants to
assume the responsibility for taking
SALT 100000 more out of the pockets
of our citizens for the sake of paving
Tor extravagant experiments in Gov
eminent, that is their lookout. As
one elected Representative responsible
to the voters of his district I refuse
to do So"
Bachrach said we were told by the
Senate conferees that additional
revenue was made necessary by rea-
son OF the passage of the independent
ofhces appropriation bill over the
Presidents veto, increasing Govern
ment salaries and increasing compen-
sation and pension payments to our
war veterans"
He added that these totaled 1885,
712.500 and ito meet that increase
in current expenditures, the distin-
guished body at the other end of the
Capitol increase our Federal tax bur-
den by S2l4.000, ,000"

Dr. Writ said he heard the revolution

I'VE do not believe there was a

people in which one person CDR.
Writ did all the talking with the
exception Of one of the remaining six
uttering one sentence.
I'VE believe the remaining six in
testifying that nothing more was said
than one sentence by one of them,
forces the logical conclusion that they
must have said that which DR.. Writ
quoted them as having said.
otherwise they would have told
what they actually did say at this
party, instead Of giving the prepos-
ferrous and unreasonable testimony
that of the entire six. all that was
said by any of them was one sentence
by one person.

mittee, in accepting the testimony Of
these six witnesses and denouncing
the testimony of DR.. Writ. disclose
their determination in this proceed
ing to protect and exonerate those who
were not In sympathy with traditional
American government under the Con-
Stitution."
The majority, referring to DR. Wirt's
report of a conversation with William
I. Westervelt about Frederick c Howe,
Farm Administration consumers coun-
sci, held the talk could not have fig
ured in DR.. Wirt's original assertion.
The reason given was that DR.. Writ
talked with Westervelt in March and
the manuscript which started the in
vestigation was dated March II.
But McGugin said only one conclu-
sion could be drawn from the ma
jority members refusal to summon
Howe and Westervelt.
THAT conclusion" he said, 'is that
they were fearful or believed the COM
plete truth of this statement would
be established, and having been estab-
lished, every citizen of the land would
know that 1t was the designed pur-
pose of Frederick Howe, consumers
counsel of the A. A. A., to retard re-
