hito received Admiral Frank B.
Upham. commander-in-chief Of
the American Asiatic fleet, today
while a former Los Angeles police
commissioner revealed his arrest as
a spy suspect.
The humanity contrasting Incl
dents were coincident with natural
Japanese interest in the impend-

navy seaplanes from Hawaii to
Midway island-l,20 miles out to-
ward Japan.
Admiral Upham, with his flag
ship the cruiser Augusta, arrived at
Yokohama May on a good will
visit particularly significant be-
cause of its timing with the Pacific
maneuvers of the great United
States battle fleet. It has been
called a hostage visit
His audience with the emperor
was marked with the solemnity
which attaches to functions Of the
Oldest and most majestic court in
the world. The Emperor Hirohito is
the 124th Tenno or emporer in di-
rect succession of the line found
ed by the Jimmu Tenno $50 years
before Christ.
But the audience also was mark
ed by great cordiality. The emper-
or expressed his happiness to re-
ceive a visitor from a friendly ma
ton. Admiral Upham expressed his
pleasure at the honor paid him in
the emperor's personal reception.
After the audience, Admiral Up
ham was a luncheon guest Of
Prince Fushimi, head Of a collator-
al royal house.
The latest American to fall an
innocent victim to the prevailing
vigilance against possible espion-
age was NJ. A. Pierce. former police

days. He was dismissed with a 80

ATTACKS FOES

DENVER, Colo, May 8 U,P)-Dis-
sension in the ranks of Townsend
plan supporters was revealed today
after the author of the old age pen
sion formula came here to denounce
rebel faction.
A mass meeting addressed by Dr.
F. E. Townsend of Long Beach,
Calf, ended in a near riot last
night when leaders of the rebels de-
slanded permission to speak.
Meanwhile Frank Peterson, form
Ter national publicity director for the
townsend organization but now one
Of the dissidents, sought to wrest
from the elderly physician control
of the Colorado state organization.
On April %, Joseph A. Gross,
state manager, and his followers
broke away from the national or
ganization and announced intention
to form a separate state unit to
battle for the old age pension plan.
At the meeting last night before
1000 old people who crowded E-Sz
Denver high schools auditorium to
capacity, DR.. Townsend lashed those
who broke away.
Il have no use for men who take
money from national headquarters
and then knife me in the back, he
shouted
Il have found men I have trusted
as blood brothers turn out to be
snakes in the grass" he said.
When the meeting was thrown
open to questions, Gross demanded
to be allowed to speak.
DR.. Townsend refused. Boos and
cat-calls filled the air Frank Ar

JOINT STEERING COMMITTEE OF
LEGISLATURE SOLVING BUDGET

plans would pass both houses. To
begin with, the committees recon-
mendation on income taxes will
start a new battle in the assembly
which already has approved the
Chatters bill establishing a rate
one-third that of the federal levy
TO raise s25.000,0O0. A compromise
at one-fourth may break an i'm
pending deadlock on that issue.
Heavy opposition may be thrown
at the state automobile tax provi-
sion because it is in effect an ad
valorem on automobiles and would
deprive cities and counties of Sill
100000 now collected by means Of
personal property levies on ve-
hicles. Proponents, however, point
out that counties will be enriched
by s65,O00,OOO or more during the
next bienni,Sn because the state is
returning utility property to local
tax rolls.
They argue that counties and
cities could afford to give up $1l =
100000 when receiving $65000,000
in return"
This tax, incidentally, would cost
some motorists more than they now
pay. Property taxes are based on
4 per cent of valuation While the
state tax would be based on esti-
mated cash value. This would be
in addition to the So license plate
fee. which returns about $11.OO0,-

Sen. Walter H. Duval Santa
Paula, chairman of the steering
group planned to have ready to-
day final estimates on the revenue
which would be expected from the
seven approved tax plans, and he
hoped to have some figures on sew
erance taxes.
