WASHINGTON. July l2-PreSi-
dent Roosevelts ax-the-rieh pro-
gram probably will be brought 10
the house floor without gag RUE
protection against amendments
Democratic leaders said today
Despite a storm OF business OPP
position gathering outside OF con-
gress. house leaders were confident
the large Democratic majority
would be able to protect the Dill
from emasculating amendments on
the floor.
The sugel of a gag rule was
understood to have been brought up
by Chairman Robert L. Doughton
of the ways and means committee
at the White House conference
Tuesday night. He was said 10
have indicated such rule was
necessary to assure house passage
in the form desired by the Presi-
dent.
Speaker Joseph w. ByrnS and
Chairman John j. O'Connor OF the
rules committee, said they person.
ally opposed a gag" rule on the
measure, and were determined TO
hold their anti-gag record intact
for the remainder of the session.
A nation wide attack on the tax
program was launched Simultan-
eously by the chamber of commerce
OF the United States and powerful
E. L. Du Pont de Nemours & Co.
The American Liberty League al
ready has stated its opposition.
The chamber of commerce state
ment declared the most urgent
need at the present time is mot
more taxes on income, but more in
come to tax" 1t announced it was
starting a drive against the pro-
gram in every section of the coun-
try.
The Du Pont company sent its
stockholders a statement of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers calling for "a nationwide
universal volume of protest from
industrial stockholders throughout
the United States" Stockholders
were asked to communicate theii
views to members of congress.
House leaders held to their in
tention to push the four-point pro
gram through this session, despite
reports of widespread desire TO
early adjournment and temporar,
discard of the tax bill. The Pres
ident has said he wants the bill
passed this session.

K|WANIS CLUB
HEARS TALK ON
F|NGERPRINTS

The science of fingerprinting
from its earliest use over a thous-
and years ago. down to the present.
was the topic o. an interesting ana
educational talk given at the XII
wants club meeting this noon by c.
II. Hit, patrol inspector for the
border patrol, department of i'm
migration.
Inspector Hit stated the first
use of fingerprinting is credited to
the Chinese, who used the right
thumb almost exclusively to sign
and identify documents concerned
with affairs of those who were IL
literate.
1t was later taken up by a Ger
man professor, and still later by an
English officer in India, who codi-
fled and named the nine samples
OF fingerprinting as the basis Of
the system now in universal use.
He stated over 1900 900 samples
of fingerprints are on file in the
department of justice at Washing
ton and are being added to at the
rate OF $500 a day. These are cri-
Imperial Valley press., 1935-07-12

nlinal records. resulting from ar
rests of persons charged with
crime. In addition there are on file
many other prints, kept in segre-
gated files, of persons who wish
their fingerprints to be recorded
for their own protection.
The inspector deplored the gen.
orally accepted belief that finger
print records concern only the cri-
minal. pointing out that it is often
the only possible means of identi-
flying persons injured or killed in
wrecks and major disasters and is
really a safeguard for honest per-
sons. He expressed the belief that
at some future time congress may
pass a compulsory fingerprint re-
giStration law.
At the conclusion of his talk In
spector Hit answered many ques-
hons submitted by the Kiwanians
Charles Bramkamp was chair
man of the day.
