Nye, However, Back From
Trip, Sees Much Backing
for Idahoan.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Nye, Republican, Of North
Dakota returned to his Office today to
emphasize his belief that Senator
Borah "is the man" for the Republican
presidential nomination, but insisted
he must formulate something to take
the place of A. A. A"
Fresh from his trip With other Sena-
tors and Representatives to the Philip
pines, Nye predicted an active session
confronted by neutrality bonus, war
profits and other legislation.
There is tremendous sentiment for
Borah," he said. 1T has been evident
in Seattle, in California, on the train
coming East, in Chicago and every
where"
He recalled that 'Nye for President"
clubs were being formed in his own
State, but said he had advised them
they would serve better purpose by
supporting Borah."
He acknowledged it would be diff
cult to nominate Borah against oppo-
sition of the "Old Guard"
Nye and Senator Clark, Democrat, Of
Missouri, fellow member of the Sen
ate Munitions Committee, will re-
introduce neutrality legislation aimed
at making it impossible for American
shippers to deliver any commodities
into war zones.
While he favors embargoing ship
ment of any goods to belligerents, Nye
said it would be difficult to work out
such program and that extension of
the present embargo on munitions and
arms, which ends February %, prob
ably would be proposed. In addition,
he said he and Clark would recommend
prohibiting American ships carrying
any commodities into war zones.
If warning nations want the goods
they should be required to come and
get them in their own Ships" he de-
clared.

Christmas on Sea.
Before sailing from New York early
Sunday, ships provisions were made
for Christmas tree, decorations, logs
for fireplace Yule blaze and turkey
dinner.
Weather studies by the United
States Meteorological Bureau here,
however, told of prevailing Winter
storms, which would cause the 436-
foot freighter to pitch and toss con-
siderably under Winter winds and
seas.
About 1,5OO Miles Out.
On the basis of an 18-knot progress
the American Importer should have
been we'll along toward mid-Atlantic
tonight on its course to England and
the refuge sought by the Lindberghs.
The freighter should be about l,5OO
miles from New York.
1t was announced by the line that
the ship would not touch at Cobb,
Ireland, since no passengers are booked
for the Irish port. Under present
calculations, and barring unforeseen
bad weather, the American Importer
should arrive at Liverpool December
80 and Manchester New Year eve. It
was not known where the Lindberghs
will disembark.

ALLISON CO. TO
ENLARGE PLANT
Construction Begins Today
on Huge Factory for
Plane Motors.

Actual work was to begin today
on the extensive plant expansion
program of the Allison Engineering
Co. division of General Motors Corp,
at Speedway City.
The contemplated Improvements,
which will be ready for use in about
four months, include facilities for
the production of a new 1000-horSe
power, liquid cooled aircraft engine.
The new motor will be one of the
most powerful aviation engines made
in the United States. 1t has been
under development several years.
The Allison improvements are
part of the General Motors general
expansion and plant rehabilitation
program which has been under way
for the last several months, involv-
ing the expenditure of millions of
dollars for buildings and equipment
in all parts of the country.
The Indianapolis expansion pro-
gram involves the construction and
equipment of four modern buildings
with total floor space of Al 900 feet.
The new buildings will replace the
wooden barracks built during the
World War for the United States
aviation repair depot.
The improved facilities will bring
about a substantial increase in the
number of men employed at the
factory, according to Norman H.
Gilman, 1850 College-av, president
and general manager of the Allison
company. Approximately 200 men
are employed at present.

PRESIDENT BARS
TAX WAR TRUCE
House Committee Gets Hint
to Increase LevieS on
Big Business.
Copyright. 1885. by United Press)


WASHINGTON, July 22.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has vetoed a plan to
avoid bitter fight with big busi-
ness organizations over his tax-the-
rich program. The House Ways and
Means Committee, informed that
the President wants increased taxes
on big corporations, today began a
final draft of the measure.
The President had received con-
greSsional suggestions that the in
creased corporation tax feature be
eliminated from the program. Char
ges by organized business that a grad
uated corporation income tax would
be a levy against efficiency in in
dustry had resulted in tacit agree
ment by committee Democrats to
abandon such tax in favor Of an
excess profits levy.
AS a result of Mr.. Roosevelt's re-
quest, it appeared that both a grad
uated corporation tax and an excess
profits levy would be included in
the bill which the committee hopes
to have ready for House action next
week.
1t was understood the Admins
tration was agreeable to lesSening
the spread of the corporation levy.
Instead of running the tax from IL
per cent on corporations of net in
come of only $1,000 to liz on cor
porations with net income over
$2O,OOO,OO0, the probability is that
the principle will be rtained but the
spread held down to or 3 per cent.
For example. small corporations
might pay II per cent instead of
the fiat 1879, as at present, while
large corporations might pay Is per
cent.
