House Republicans Must Pay
For SnelI's Rebuff of BIantOn

House Republicans were more than
little upset today, wondering
whether Representative Blanton,
Democrat, Of Texas really intends to
carry out his threat to prevent them
from extending their remarks in the
Congressional Record.
That's the penalty the Texan pro-
poses to make them pay for the re-
buff he received just before the House
adjourned late yesterday, from the
Republican leader, Representative
Smell of New York.
It was an unusual experience for
Blanton, who usually is adept at draw
ing on his bag of parliamentary tricks
to get what he wants. But Smell out
witted him and as q result all Repub-
lican members are at his mercy.
The trouble started when Blanton
asked unanimous consent to speak
for three minutes. Smell objected and
announced he would make a point of
no quorum move that would have

"I1l withdraw that request" said
Blanton. II won't throw any monkey

gentleman from New York"
Then Blanton asked unanimous
consent to extend his remarks in

quest"
Blanton glared at Smell, then shook
his clenched fist and promised to get

hereafter on the Republican side.
But Blanton evidently overlooked,
at the time, that the Republican
members have the privilege Of object
ing to every unanimous-consent re-
quest he nay make in the future. And
the members know Blanton makes
many unan1mous-consent requests.

SENATORS DIFFER
ON WAR TAXP[ANS
Munitions Committee to
Fight Move for
Compromise.
ky the Associated Press.

ky the Associated Press.
Senate Munitions Committee mem
bers, faced with a move to compromise
their tax plan for taking the profit
out of war" served notice today they
would carry the issue to the floor OF
the Senate.
Chairman Nye expressed confidence
the Senate would stand by the basic
principles of his committees proposal
for skimming the cream of the cor
porate and individual profits during
wartime.
But even as he spoke a Senate
Finance Subcommittee sought to draft
a bill that would take the proflteering
out of war" but would not eliminate
the profits" entirely.
The subcommittee was directed by
the full committee to draft a bill that
would raise the greatest possible reve-
hue in wartime without destroying the
profit motive"
PHILOSOPHERS Differ.
Two basically different PHILOSOPHERS
we're behind the conflict. Nye and his
group would like to impose such a
severe wartime tax rate that it would
serve as a deterrent to war, going
much further than merely eliminating
profiteering.
Chairman Connally, Democrat, of
Texas of the subcommittee stands for
elimination of wartime profiteering
without upsetting the profit motive
which, it is contended, makes the
wheels of industry 60 round.
Nyes bill would cut $21 900 in
come down to $500 by taxation, and
take 80 per cent of all income above
1000. Corporations would be lin
tied to Al per cent profit on their
adjusted declared value, and most Of
that would have to be distributed and
taxed again as individual income, or
pay an additional rs per cent.
L. H. Parker. congressional tax ex-
pert, warned the subcommittee that
would not leave much profit motive" /"
Parker Issues Warning.
IF you think you can get along
without the profit motive and that you
simply can do it by force on the part
of the Government, by making these
people work in certain places, or per-
haps patriotism, and what not, why
that is different" he added.
The Parker warning was carried to
the full committee, which decided the
broad issue without going into rates.
The committee said it wanted to re-
tain the profit motive and to obtain
the greatest revenue possible.
Connally interpreted this as mean
ing an instruction to the subcommit-
tee to draft bill with maximum rates
of from 70 to 80 per cent on big in
dividual incomes.
Other members Of the committee
took issue with this statement. Sena-
tor La Toilette, Progressive, of Wis
consin, said the committe had not
decided on the best rate, but had left
that to the subcommittee. He held
out hope for the Nye bill or some
thing close to it.

V.P.S. CUTS RATES
$3OO,0OO YEARLY
1870 for Residential and
1920 for Commercial
Customers Trimmed.
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated PreSS.
RICHMOND, April 4.-Rate reduc-
tions averaging about 7.6 per cent for
$4,000 residential customers and about
1872 per cent for 10000 commercial
customers of the Virginia Public
Service Co. were announced yesterday
as a result of negotiations between the
company and the State Corporation
Commission.
The new rates, which become effec-
tive May in the more than 35 Vir-
ginia counties served by the utility
concern, are estimated to save con-
sumers approximately 100000 a year
The company serves Alexandria and
adjacent territory in Northern Vr-
ginia, large part of the Shenandoah
Valley, part Of Southwest Virginia,
Newport News and portion of West
Virginia, where reductions for 4,330
customers we're announced.
About 1000 residential consumers in
Virginia who pay the minimum rate
and about 5000 commercial consumers
who pay the minimum will not be
affected by the reductions, Corporation
Commission officials said.
This brings the estimated total saved
consumers by reductions in the last
10 years to around Sl,100,000 year,
the commission said.

LOCARNO SESSION REQUESTED.
British Consider Proposal for Brussels
Meeting April s.

WSCNAS hptu os
LONDON, April 4 R.-France has
officially requested a meeting of the
remaining Locarno signatories, to be
held at Brussels April 8.
The British government has the re-
quest under consideration, although
objections were raised when the pro-
posal for a new Locarno session was
advanced at Paris several days ago.
French Push Request.
The British indicated then that
they thought delay in negotiations
would be better and the situation
should be discussed through diplo-
matte channels. The French, how
ever, persisted in their request which
was eventually transmitted formally
through the London embassy.
It was understood the French desire
to submit formal counter proposals to
Adolf Hitler's peace suggestions. made
by the Reichsfuehrer in response to
the accord formulated at the London
Locarno Conference.
British withhold Decision.
France also Is understood to favor
turning the entire dispute over to the
League Of Nations Council, which has
already condemned Germany, as a
treaty violator for Nazi reoccupation
of the Rhineland.
The British have not indicated what
their decision will be on the French
request. If the meeting Is held at
Brussels, Italy presumably would also
be invited to attend regardless Of the
fact the Fascist nation has neither &C
cepted nor rejected provisions Of the
London Locarno agreement.

BALTIMORE, April 4.-Dr. Walter
II. E. Jaeger described the Govern
ment yesterday as attempting to run
its affairs without adequately trained
personnel and assailed such a prac-
tice as costly blundering and idiotic. {"
DR.. Jaeger, director of graduate

He said that, while Finland remains
the only country that has paid its
war debts, "the others shake their
heads and spend their money on
ornaments"
"Why?" he continued. Because
we send fledglings to the important
capitals of the world"
Jaeger said that, in contrast, re-
cent survey disclosed that British
diplomatic representatives in foreign
countries were men of from Is to
S5 years experience in actual service.

"take man who happens to have been
successful in a given profession and

cost to the taxpayers and many great

cause they haven't the necessary tools

denunciation of policies he attributed

Such a service would supply the
needs Of "S5 per cent of the people in
America (whO do not have credit
established or available at commercial

conference of the American Bankers
Association.
He said these people now patronize

have you" with the result that the
banker loses "a source of revenue that
is constant, legitimate and absolutely
fair"
The advantage Of such personal
loan departments" in banks, Van
Horne declared, Is that the borrower
gets his money under the same terms
as from q loan society. but at much
