Most to the point of tears;
We wish it might behoove us
To welcome them with cheers.

Through many, many moons,
They can't be very clever
At performing Verdi tunes.

An hour of joyous glee,
When each Ethiope will come singing
With his banjo on his knee.

MORCENTHAU IS AGAINST BONUS
 AT PRESENT TIME
Statement of Revenues Could Not Provide For
 Extra Expenses

Washington, Aug. l-(UF) -Sec- retary of the Treasury Henry Nor genthau, Dr., today sought to head of the prospective bonus and in- fiation drives with statement to the senate finance committee that revenues from the new tax bill would not warrant new or addi- tional expenditures" Morgenthau's views were presented as senate pro- gressives marshalled forces for a fight to- rewrite the bill on which. house debate commences today. The senate progressive bloc has warned that a new drive to pay the sol- diers' bonus will be started. if eff forts to broaden the tax bill fail.
 Aimed at Bonus
 Morgenthau's words appeared to be aimed directly at this threat. He sought to preserve the bill in a form conforming to President Roosevelt's recommendations. Any such new or additional expendi- tures," he said, would not con- form to the best interests of the na- tional credit" Despite Morgenthau's recommendation for a bill along the lines of the presidents wish- es, he refused to say directly whether the measure drafted by the house ways and means committee was satisfactory. The committee has run counter to the president at several points.
 "You place me in an embarrass- ing position" Harrison replied, "but I don't want to get caught going and coming on this proposition. T hope the congress" said Nor genthau, twill provide that the proceeds of the new taxation you are considering be preserved scrup- ulously for the purpose, first, of re- ducing the deficit and. later. re- ducing the public debt" Morgen- thau reviewed his testimony be- fore the house ways and means committee on July and repeated his offer of aid from the treasury department in framing the legisla- ton.

HOUSE CLOSE TO
 CRUCIAL TEST ON
 PUBLIC UTILITIES
Senate Lobby Probe May Take Trip Into Some
 Southern States
BY RONALD G. VAN TINE

United Press Stan Corrcspondent)
 Washington, Aug. 1.-(UP)- While the house neared a crucial test to-day over a conference dis pute with the senate on the utility holding company bill, the senate lobby Investigating committee con- sidered taking its inquiry into three southern states.
 House leaders were expected to move to discharge the house con frees, whose refusal to discuss the bill in the presence of Benjamin Cohen, PWA attorney, has result ed in a deadlock in efforts to iron out house and senate differences on the death sentence" provision.
 Senate lobby committeeman. said they may take the inquiry to Mem- phis, Tenn; Columbia, s. C., and Asheville, N. C., for ''on-the- ground" investigatinos of the util- ity campaign agalnst the Wheeler Rayburn utilities bill. A final de- cision may be made to-day.
 The parallel house lobby inves- tigation, meanwhile was resumed with Bernard B. Robinson, Chicago securities dealer, recalled to testify concerning records seized in his office last week by committee in . vestigators.
 The death sentence" issue was revived in the house, which last month rejected the clause elimin- ating unnecessary utility holding companies by 1942, in the move for appointment of new conferees. Three of the five present conferees are opposed to that clause.
 Rep. Patrick Roland, Pa., dem- ocratic whip, after 8 canvas of representatives, predicted defeat of the administration on the issue,
 Roland whose secret poll in June forecast administration defeat on the death sentence" said con- gressmen were "already on record" and that mot half dozen of them" would be fooled by the lobbying disclosures.
 Chief interest in the three-cor- nered utility battle continued to center in the senate inquiry, be- fore which two mystery" witness es were summoned to appead to- day.
 Chairman Hugo L. Black, d., a1- nounced definitely that to-day's inquiry would have no connection with the Associated Gas and Elec- trio company unless Howard C.. Hopson. missing master mind" of the vast utility system, suddenly were to testify.
 It was understood careful study was being made to determine total profits of Hopson and other A. G. D. officials during the depression when the company failed to vote dividends for its stockholders.
 Committeeman showed keen in- terest in a report by Stuart C. Ross, accountant in the New York state utility investigation, that top holding companies of the A. G. E. siphoned about $14,000,O00 from operating companies during the lean years, 1929 to 1893. Ross testified profits in some instances were more than 300 per cent.
