LONDON, April determination
from the German defense ministry
that U-boat construction is part of
the Reich's armament program jolted
Europe today and created the pos
sibility of three-power conferences to
consider a new violation OF the Ver-
sailleS treaty.
Informed quarters indicated that
formal steps would be taken by
Britain, France and Italy to hold
consultations on the naval develop
ment which caused new war scare
in European capitals.
Reliable sources in London claimed
Hitler had already begun laying down
the keels of II small submarines pre-
paratory to launching a more exten-
sive construction program, but this
was denied by a spokesman for the
Berlin defense ministry.
May Cancel Talks.
The British cabinet will consider
the matter of U-boats Wednesday
The most immediate subject OF
sueculation here was the effect that
submarine construction would have
on the Forthcoming Anglo-German
naval talks. In some quarters it was
feared they might be abandoned al
together.
Germany was understood here to
feel that the naval clauses OF the
Versailles treaty are just as dead as
the military and air clauses which sne
scrapped with the sudden announce
ments of March Is which brought
the German army and air force into
the open.
One diplomatic source expressed
the opinion a new effort might be
made by France to get the three
mowers to agree on program OF
economic sanctions against Germany
as one method of trying to halt Ger
manys increase in the manufacture
of armamentS.
Need of Action Seen.
The same diplomatic circles eX-
pressed the opinion that the powers
hardly could permit Germany to con-
tinue to spring new sensations week
after week without doing something
about it. 1t was felt in these quarters
that Britain was now more in mood
to accept economic and financial
sanctions.
Any plan for application of sane
tions would be placed before the
League of Nations Council at Geneva
for the powers would act under League
auspices.
Reports of U-boat construction first
came to public attention through news
papers. two of which published stories
that IL submarines of $50 tons apiece
we're under construction in German
shipyards.
The Versailles treaty specifically
limited the German Navy to 6 battle
ships, 6 cruisers, II deStroyers and IL
torpedo boats. Submarines were held
inadmissible even for commercial pur-
poses.

Democratic Groups Battle
May Jam Whole Program
of Administration.
BONUS AND RECOVERY
MEASURES BLOCKED
All Efforts to Clear Obstacle Fail.
G. 0. P. Gleeful Over
Situation.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.


The Democratic c-controlled Senate
has a bear by the tail-the Wagner
Costigan anti-lynching bill-and can't
let go.
This measure threatens to delay
consideration of the soldiers bonus
bill, and back of that, it may dam up
the whole administration program.
That the anti-lynching bill would
pass the Senate if it were brought
to vote is confidently predicted by
its supporters. There is, however, a
determined minority, composed OF
Democratic Senators from the South
who are threatening to fllibuster until
snow flies, if necessary, to prevent a
vote.
The Senate sought in vain during
its short session yesterday to dispose
of the pending motion to bring up
the bill for debate and action. II
finally took a recess until tomorrow
after voting down, 81 to %, motion
to adjourn.
The effect of this action was to
leave the motion to take up the bill
pending before the Senate.
n. r. A. Law Delay Sought.
To add to the discomfort of the
administration forces in the Senate
is a proposal, strongly backed by both
Republicans and Democrats, to post
pone the rewriting of the bill to ex-
tend the N. r. A. law for another two
years, as demanded by the President
This proposal, which is being carried
to the White House over the week
end by Chairman Harrison of the
Finance Committee, is for the passage
of a joint resolution extending the
existing N r. A. law until next Feb
ruary or March. In the meantime. il
is argued, the Supreme Court would
have opportunity to pass on the con.
stitutionality of the N. r. A. in various
particulars and thereby guide Con-
greSs in enactment of a more perma-
nent law.
Harrison said yesterday he had al
ready been In touch with the White
House on the matter, but he would
make no statement until he reported
to his committee tomorrow morning
The Democratic leader, Senator
Robinson, of Arkansas, said he
thought something along this line
might be worked out. He reserved
opinion, however, until he should see
just what the proposal involves.
In the meantime, sentiment in
favor of such course seems to be
growing on both sides of the chamber
Much will depend. of course. on what
the President has to say on the mat
ter. The present law expires on
June 16. With hard fight in pros
pect over the bill to extend the
NJ r. A.. and the anti-lynching and
bonus measures both likely to take
considerable time. it is argued that
adoption of resolution extending the
N. r. A. until next Winter might be
an effective solution of the problem.
Senator Borah of Idaho, Senator
Nye of North Dakota and others in
sist that no measure to extend the
N. r. A. should pass now unless it
carried strong provisions against
price-fixing and monopolistic ten
denotes. ANY joint resolution would,
of course, be open to amendments OF
that character offered from the floor.
Sidetracking Move Fails.
Supporters Of the anti-lynching bill,
which would give the Federal Govern
ment power to punish lynchers in the
various States, won tactical victory

HOUSE THREATENS
REVOLT ON TAXES
New Levies Not Only Are
Opposed. but Old Ones
May Be Cut.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Congressional leaders threatened to
balk yesterday at any insistence that
new taxes be voted this session.
In fact, several members of the tax
originating House Ways and Means
Committee expressed the conclusion
that it not only would be possible to
avoid new taxes. but even to reduce
or eliminate some existing levies.
They adopted that attitude despite
Secretary Morgenthau's warning to
the Senate Finance Committee that
enactment of bonus payment legisla-
ton would bring recommendations for
new inheritance levies raising $780,
100000 to $500 100000 annually.
In the first place. these House tax
students conceded there was strong
doubt bonus payment bill would be
enacted. Secondly. they said that
even if it became law, there would be
no need for new taxes.
Vinson Sees No Danger.
Representative Vinson. Democrat OF
Kentucky, still expressing confidence
the bonus would be paid, put his
argument against new taxes in figures
There already is a sinking fund
into which money is being paid to
retire the bonus certificates in l945
If the present sinking fund payments
of SIP 5000 a year are continued
the next 10 years, there will be no
added cost whatever in paying the
bonus.
Secretary Morgenthau says it will
cost a lot of money to pay off the
bonus. He doesn't add that it will
cost more not to pay it,
Only presidential insistence, other
committeeman said privately, would
bring a new tax bill out of the COM
mittee. They added that even an
immediate decision to levy new taxes
would prolong the session Of Congress
a month and a half to three months
because of the time necessary to draft
a revenue bill.
Two Alternatives Given.
consequently, tney auoeu, Ine FreS-
ident would be presented two alter
natives: Either to keep Congress In
session. or to pass the new tax ques-
ton over to the next session for
further surveys as to- whether the re-
turns from present taxes would con-
tinue to rise as they have been re-
Gently.
1t generally was agreed, however.
that most of the present nuisance"
taxes which expire June 80 could be
continued without stimulating ex-
tended debate. These produce around
S420, ,000, 900 a year.
Already, however, some committee
men are making surveys to see If even
some of these nuisance taxes may not
be dropped. One, for instance. Is .
tax on fur and fur trimmed coats

One exception was Mrs. Northrup;
Mr.. Northrup had died Of apoplexy

Mrs Northrup departed on a hurried
visit to Jane. New Concord would
have given a very great deal to have
been ON hand when Mrs. Northrup
broke the news to James ex-wife, the
