Sees Change Approved.
Regarding the broadening Of the
bill in the Senate committee, Harrison
said he believed the change will be
accepted by the Senate.
L would have preferred writing a
bill in strict conformity with the
Presidents wishes. But the House
deviated greatly, and others felt We
should make changes, so I feel We
should submit bill to bring some real
revenue. This measure would be a
good revenue producer"
While the committee craftsmen are
spending the week end in attempting
to frame the revised legislation. Har-
rison announced that the committee

Some of the comparatively minor
amendments added to the bill during
the committee session yesterday fol-
low:
BY Harrison-To repeal the exist
ing penalty tax on liquor sold in dry
States, leaving this to the States.
Harrison said this was in conformity
with the Democratic platform pledge
that the Federal Government shall
, do nothing in dry States but Coop
crate" and that collection of a $1,000
tax in dry States was not keeping
faith with that pledge"
To Cut Interest Charges.
BY McAdoo, Democrat. of Califor-
nia-To reduce interest charges from
IL to 6 per cent year on delinquent
internal revenue taxes and customs
duties.
By Gore, Democrat, of Oklahoma
To exempt from existing taxes gaso-
line sold to States. counties and mu-
inequalities, whether for governmental
or non-governmental use. Present
law exempts only for public use.
BY George. Democrat, of Georgia
and Connally, Democrat, of Texas
To apply the compensatory processing
tax on imported copra and coconut
oil to articles manufactured wholly
or in chief value of any such OIL"
Harrison said complaint had been re-
ceived that persons in the Philippines
were evading the tax by importing
the fatty acids from copra.

JOB INSURANCE PLAN
IN AGENCIES URGED
Roberts Would Include D. G.
Employees and Those in U. S.
Service Here.

Inclusion Of Federal and District
government employees in the Federal
unemployment insurance program
may be sought at the next session of
Congress, under program announced
yesterday by William A. Roberts, head
of the Legislative Committee of the
Federal Bar Association.
Roberts, who is District people s
counsel, declared there are at least
10000 in governmental service here
who can meet residential period re-
quirements.
There is no more reason why a
private employer should anticipate un-
employment due to seasonal or period
ical phases in an industry than there
is for the governmental agencies" he
said.
The tentative program was proposed
by William Roy Valance, assistant
legal adviser of the State Department,
and John r. Benney of the Depart
ment of Justice, who constitute the
Executive Committee of the legisla-
tive group.

Shortly after the indictment
was filed the defendants demurred
on grounds that the bill was not
properly drawn, as it attempted
to charge more than one con-

Gated in his opinion that he was
