ILLINOIS IN THIRD
BATTLE ON RELIEF
Threatened Hunger March
Results From Delay of
Sales Tax.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, H.. May 1.-THE
Illinois House of Representatives
today confronted. for the third time,
the problem of removing the seimitar
of hunger and want which hovered
over thousands Of the States desti-
tute. while Q reinforced police guard
was on duty to preserve order.
Additional guards, ordered for the
State House and the executive man
sion. were called to duty last night.
when reports of intentions Of unem-
ployed to march on the capital were
heard. At q late hour, however,
highway police reported they had
seen no evidence Of any groups en-
route to the city.
Specifically, the question before the
House was whether the State sales
tax will be increased from 2 to 3
per cent and expanded to include
public utilities, the additional funds
to 20 into the State relief fund.
Twice on Verge Of ActiOn.
Twice before the House has been
on the verge Of action upon the pro-
poSal which is backed by Gov. Henry
Horner as the only method to raise
the relief funds which Harry L. Hop
kins, Federal relief administrator, in
sisted Illinois must have before any
further Federal aid viii b forth
coming.
On the first occasion action was
postponed when administration lead.
ers decided they did not have enough
votes to put the bill across. Last
night q decision was again In pros
pect. but was delayed when leaders
received reports. which were not veSi-
fed, that Hopkins was willing to
renew Federal grants II the per
cent sales tax was adopted, effective
July ].
Before the rumor vas passed through
the chamber the House bill called foz
q 3 per cent sales tax effective May l,
and was to have been revised to BE-
come effective May Is.
Hopkins Refuses Comment.
IN Washington. however, Hopkins
merely said he was adamaut on his
stand that Illinois supply its share
He had no comment on the rumor nor
would he comment on the information
that the Illinois Democratic delegation
IN Congress would present an appeal
for aid to him today.
At best the thousands Of persons in
IS counties where relief activities have
ended because Of lack Of funds could
not hops for aid befor. Wednesday
The House today can do no more than
advance the sales tax bill to third
reading. with passage possible tomor-
row. The vote on the second reading
however, was regarded as the real test
since leaders believed that II 101
votes were mustered today no din
Guilty would be encountered Wednes-
day.
The bill. effective July I. has already
been passed by the Senate.

What's What

In Capital
p. W. A. Probe by Sen
ate Seen as Move for
"Normal Audit. :"
BY PAUL MALLON.

Y you may shortly hear that the
" Senate has authorized . COM
mittee investigation Of the
i Public Works Administration.
A resolution authorizing 1t
was drawn week ago, but not intro
dueed. It Is to be q companion piece
to the CouSens resolution recently
adopted by the Senate in . very
quiet way. The Couzens resolution
authorized an inquiry into relief ex-
penditures by the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee.
There are no scGndalous rHnaors
behind these moDes. Also no po-
Htical fishing expedition. Senators
merely got their heads together
and agreed the time had Grriped
for the NeU Dealers to "come dopn
of Mount Olympus and subject
themselves to some kind OF normal
audit" The strongly independent
Senator couzeas conceived the idea
and sold tt. His nopes are aliDdys
dboue political suspicious.
In line with this there is some
cloak room talk about eventually es-
tablishing q Federal bureau of audit.
To Check Expenditures.
Deeper down than that in the
senatorial mind now Is desire to
keep a hand on expenditures when
Congress is not In session. A sig
nificant slant on the move Is that
the restraining hand will be exer-
cised by the Appropriations Com
mittee. The forefinger there Is the
committee chairman, Carter Glass,
who has never been an Olympian.

S14dIAlp0 VI DdSCOdll.
Both teams had to resort to rush
ing, and in that department the
Lions were superior yesterday. They
gained 235 yards from scrimmage to
New York's 116. Detroit tried five
passes and completed two of them
both in the first period before the
ball got toe slippery to handle. The
Giants completed four out of thir-
teen. 1t was the final pro league
game of the year and Detroit's first
grid title.
Passes Gain so Yards
Two successive passes, Presnell to
Frank Christensen and Gutowsky
to Klewicki, gained nearly 60 yards
and set the Lions up for their first
touchdown three minutes after the
game started. Gutowsky went over
on spinner from the 5-yard line.
Christensen's interrogation of Anow-
swki's pass late in the same period
made the next touchdown possible.
Clark took the ball on the Giants
40, cut back to gather interference,
and went over standing up.
Fumbles on LIZARD Line
The mud caused two fumbles that
prevented Detroit from scoring
again as the second period started.
Harry Ending picked up the bail
after Danowski's kick was blocked
and ran thirty-four yards only to
lose the ball as he was tackled on
the l-yard line. Stacy dove for the
ball in the end zone, but it popped
out of his hands and rolled out for
a touchback. The half ended with
Detroit leading. IS to 0.
Midway in the third, Danowski
threw a l0-yard pass to Strong, who
ran thirty yards more for New
York's only touchdown. Strong also
converted.
Christensen recovered Danowski's
blocked punt on the Giants 26-yard
line for another Detroit touchdown,
in the fourth. Caddel took the ball
over after series of line plays. The
Giants tried again to pass. and
Parker took one of Harry Newmans
losses back to New Yorks 10-yard
line. Three plays later Parker
plunged for a touchdown, but
couldn't convert,
