WASHINGTON, June 26 U.P) -
Describing his tax recommendations
as a program for revenue and a
better social order, President Roose-
welt emphatically said today that he
wanted the three major features OF
the program enacted at this session
Of congress.
The President told newspapermen
there had been no intimation or
suggestion from the White House
that the three proposals be passed
by Saturday.
Pointing out that failure to pass
the nuisance taxes by Saturday
would cost the government $780,
900 a day, Mr.. Roosevelt retorted
sharply such situation might not
arise.
Efforts of administration leaders
in the senate to bring part of the
tax program TO the floor for de-
bate today failed because finance
committee and treasury experts
could not complete drafting of the
legislation in time.
Senate leaders, however, still ad-
here to their plan of attaching the
new tax program to the nuisance
tax extension resolution even though
it appeared highly unlikely that the
amended resolution could be enacted
by Saturday night when the
nuisance levies expire.
If the nuisance tax extension were
passed separately, the Roosevelt
program would have to originate in
the house.
Sees Long Session
Speaker Joseph w. Byrns said that
if the house had to originate the
legislation, congress would be in
session until September or October
In response to questions, the
President indicated the possibility
Of the nuisance taxes being carried
out by continuing resolution.
The President said that he made
recommendations of principle and
policy and that the question OF
hearings, if there we're to be any,
was up to congress.
At this juncture, he was asked

That was the wish expressed by
Richard B. Harrison when he was
first here with The Green Pastures
at English's.
At that time, Mr.. Harrison was
not elevated to stardom as he was
when he played Englishs early IN
the present season.
This aged Negro actor found time
to advise other members of the cast
on the right way to live. They
brought their problems to him and
he talked to them off the stage as
their "parson and brother"
He was proud of the fact that he
had lived deeply religious life
before he started to play the role
which made him famous.
He had a keen sense OF humor
and he loved "hoss racin'-that is
to look at them" He was always
interested in speed and l took him
to the Speedway to see the famous
oval on his last visit here.
For nearly an hour. he sat in one
of empty grandstands and pictured
to himself what might happen at
one of the great races.
Mr.. Harrison was stricken as he
was getting ready to play his part
again on Broadway.
He went to the hospital waiting
to become strong enough to re-
sumo his role.

The flood situation in this
area was described as far
worse than the disasters of
1927 and 1881.
Water from the hills near the Ar
kansas state line have turned brook
lets into raging streams. And al
though flood stage has been reached
in Butler and Dunklin counties in
Missouri, government engineers to-
day predicted that st. Francis River
within 48 hours would break over its
SIS miles of levee with a two-foot
wall of flood waters.
Hundreds of families were moving
out of the lowlands in the wake OF
yesterdays exodus. Refugees from
Dunklin County, lowest elevation in
Missouri, were being accommodated
in Red Cross tents, railroad box cars
and public buildings at Kenneth.
R. I. Jones, chairman of relief
work at Kenneth, said the st. Fran
els River this morning was two feet
higher than the 1927 flood crest.
Thousands of workmen were repair
ing the soggy 25-year-old levees in
hopes of bulwarking them against
the disastrous rise the river is ex-
pected to make before Saturday.

Guardsmen patrolled the area, aid
ing families in moving from the

Wabash Is Stationary

The swollen waters of White and
Wabash Rivers, in the southwestern

j. H. Arlington, Federal Meteor
ologist, said that, within "a hours,
the rivers would again fall below
the flood stage. The Wabash at
Mt. Carmel, Ill, near the Indiana
state line, stood at 1862 feet today,
slightly above the flood stage.
White River is falling and the
Wabash River is stationary at Vim
cennes with 1914 feet. The lowlands
in the southwestern section I'M
doubtedly will be flooded some by
the overflow of the Wabash, Mr..
Arlington said.
Although rain is forecast for to-
morrow, it will fall in the north

increasing cloudiness tomorrow. The
temperatures are expected to rise

lower than SO tonight.

that first night of Green Pas
lures" in the cold February of
1890, and, to him, Mr.. Harrison
was a man always to be remem-
bered.
Gentle of voice and demeanor,
very much the educated gentle
man, he commanded the scene.
Still amazed, after the curtain had
gone down on the second night per-
Torrance, by the success that had
been his, "de Lawd Gawd Al
mighty" told the story of his life
with the utmost simplicity.
THAT story has been told hum

cutionist and as an educator, his
suspicion that he should not go
on the Broadway stage. But, the
telling of it in cold words can
never convey the great, quiet
dignity of the man and the
mellow sound that was his talk
ing.
One thing stands out above
others in the memory of that
night when "de Lawd," tired even
then. leaned back against a pile
of scenery and talked. 1t is this
scene:
Out from their dressing rooms
came group of four or five Of
his fellow Negro actors. One was
a child. The others we're adults.
AS they passed Mr.. Harrison. they
paused for a second. A man lifted
his hat.
Good night, Father" they said,
as though they were addressing
a priest.
Good night, my children" he
replied.
Mr.. Harrison must have seen
the slightly startled look on this
writer's face. He smiled very
gently.
Don't you understand" he
asked.
1t was impossible not to under
stand.
