 Others in the Ohio delegation were Daniel E. Morgan, former city man. ager of Cleveland, and Julius Cohn, Cleveland attorney. The three issued the statement from Borah's ofilce although it was not signed by the senator. It read:

 We think we can say with cer- tainty that Sen. Borah will have delegates in the national conven- ton from Ohio.
 Senator Borah has more strength by Ear with the voters in Ohio than any other candidate whose name hasD been mentioned. We believe it nothing less than good politics to E.- that sentiment represented in the national convention. It is our purpose to see that 1t is represented.

Double-barrelled fire was turned today on the federal business cen- sus which will start here early next month, with business men and lead- ganization training their guns on the department of commerce sur- vey. Many business men have de- clared, and will abide by. their in- tentions not to divulge any private information about their business matters to the census enumerators. Leaders of the democratic party here were indignant today over the refus- al of Thomas J. Finnegan, who was recently named supervisor of the cen- sus in this city and the rest of the fifth district, to consult them before announcing list of assistants in the project. The party leaders de- clare that they aided Finnegan in securing the appointment supervisor and that he was in duty bound tc confer with them in appointing his aides.

 New York. Dec. 3O-(UP)-An army of 45,000 men won battle against a snow storm today and cleared streets of deep drifts in time for the city's millions to get to work.
 Four to seven inches of snow fell throughout the Metropolitan area and 30-mile gale of the Atlantic whipped it into drifts three feet deep across traffic arteries and canyons. Two thousand snow blows and thousands of shovellers cleared the streets for the first ofice- bound commuters.
 The snow that hid Skyscraper spires in binding gusts during the worst of the storm had diminished to only light fall at midmorning and the weather bureau expected the { to 7-inch measurements to stand throughout the day.
 Coney Island was the hardest hit with the gale off the Atlantic whip ping it's 7-inch fall into great banks which the blows removed only with great difficulty. Six inches fell on Staten Island and Manhattan got 41s.to-5 inches.
 The police department helped Sanitation Commissioner Thomas w. Hammond rouse the worlds largest street cleaning crew into action be- fore dawn. Police cars bucked drifts up to the workmen's houses or patrolmen tramped down knee deep streets to awaken the snow shOvellers.

SOUGHT BY RANKIN

Lift Amendments From
Military Group,
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Representative Rankin. Democrat,
of Mississippi, a strenuous critic Of
what he terms the power trust, !"
sought today to rescue the Tennessee
Valley Authority amendments from
the House Military Committee.
He said new plan would be per-
fected shortly to take the legislation
from the committee, which tabled it
by a l3-to-12 vote The amendments
would bolster T. v. AS powers.
1T may take several days to bring
the bill cut, but it win be decided
shortly" Rankin said. "One thing is
sure, that it will not be a new bill.
The House members are familiar with
the power trust influences on the
Military Affairs Committee and we do
not propose that those influences can
block measure that Overwhelmingly
meets the approval Of a majority of
the smembers.
Rankin was co-author with Senator
Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, Of
the original T. v. A. act. The new
legislation, already passed by the Sen
ate, would write into the law definite
permission for T. v. A. to sell surplus
power and increase its bond-issuing
capacity from s50,000,00 to $100, ,00e,-
900 to finance the purchase of private
power facilities.
Military Committee foes of T. v. A.
remained a6aElant. Representative
May, Democrat, Of Kentucky, pre-
dicted that petition drawn by Repre-
sentative Wearin, Democrat, Of Iowa,
TO remove the amendments from the
committee would command not more
than 80 signatories. 1t would require

the total tax receipts Of all local units
of government amounted to $4,750,-
600 900, Of which $4,361 600, 600. or
s2.4 per cent, came from general
property. All over the country there
have been bitter complaints about the
high taxation on property and In
sistent demand that they be lowered.
Assessments have fallen generally
about IS per cent and along with
the decline of assessments have come
property tax limitations in many
States.
These tax limitations, usually re-
ducing the tax levies from rs to so
per cent, have been opposed by
students of taxation on the ground
that they are arbitrary and work very
unevenly in different sections Of the
same State, but they have been
adopted by popular vote wherever they
have been submitted. 1t seems quite
likely that they will be adopted gen.
orally throughout the country. No
satisfactory substitute revenue has
been found as yet. Sales taxes have
been adopted in a number Of States
