Possible Alternative.
If the conferees do not reach an
agreement next week, however, it
is probable that the House would
amend the commission resolution be-
fore passing 1t by striking out S5,-
TOO 900 and putting in its own lower
figure. If this developed, Senator
Thomas would ask to have the reso-
luton referred to the same confereeS
who are considering the supply bill
The Thomas commission plan is a
final effort to obtain an agreement on
the regular supply bill instead OF re-
sorting to a continuing resolution,
which would keep the city going next
year, but without any new improve
ments. If the deadlock reaches the
stage of a continuing resolution, and
the same dispute over the amount of
the Federal share continued, admins
tration leaders in Congress would have
to take a hand in settling the con-
troversy to enable Congress to ad-
journ.

friendly to the idea of higher taxes

the Conference Committee.
Under ordinary procedure only Sen
ators King, Democrat, of Utah:
George, Democrat, of Georgia; Walsh,
Democrat, of Massachusetts; CouZens,
Republican, of Michigan, and KeyeS,
Republican, of New Hampshire, the
ranking active Democrats and Re
publicans on the Senate Finance Com

ferees. Under the proposal to deSig-
nate eight, Senators Barkley, Demo-
crat, of Kentucky; Connally, Demo-
crat, of Texas, and La Toilette, Pro-
gressive, of Wisconsin. would have
been added.
However, the whole question of
confereeS was put over to today when
the Republican Senators Couzens and
Keyes refused to be conferees. Declar-
ing there was mot chance" that he
would serve, Couzens said he was op-
posed to both Senate and House bills.
Senator Robinson, Democrat, of
Arkansas previously had given advo-
Gates of higher profits taxes an as
surance that such levies still were
backed by the President and would
receive attention in conference.
Whereupon, Senators Black, Demo-
crat, of Alabama and La Toilette
deferred their floor fight to get the
Senate to adopt levies of 20 to 80 per
cent on undistributed earnings.
Among the provisions approved by
the Senate were excise taxes of 2 to
AZ per cent on imported fish and
vegetable oils. Senator Adams, Demo-
crat, of Colorado lost in an attempt
to exempt from the undivided profits
tax earnings used for machinery,
equipment, plant expansion and i'm
provement of business.
Senator Walsh, Finance Committee
member, said the Adams amendment
really ought to be passed, but added
that if it were, the bill would produce
mo income" He said he was not
satisfied with the measure and would
apologize for it," but asserted it was
the best that could be obtained.
Walsh added that it was better than
the House bill, which he said would
burn the House" to destroy the tax
evasion rat"

BUREAUCRACY HIT
IN KNOX ADDRESS
Graduates Told Their Op.
portunities Jeopardized
by Public Debt.
By the Associated Press

LAKE FOREST, Ill, June 6.-Col
Frank Knox, candidate for the Re-
publican presidential nomination, told
Lake Forest University's graduating
class today bureaucratic control of
private business" and public debt
with the dread consequence of heavy
taxes" jeopardized youths oppor-
tunities.
The Chicago publisher, in an ad-
dress, prepared for delivery upon his
receipt of an honorary degree of
doctor of laws, asserted:
There are two things today which
serve to prevent youth from having
the fair chance to which he is en-
titled. One is Government control of
private business through bureaucracy.
Such control tends to prevent the
introduction of new inventions. It is
hostile to new ideas. 1t limits future
expansion.
Public Debt Held Handicap.
The other thing which retards in
dividual progress is public debt with
the dread consequences of heavy
taxes. Taxes crush enterprise, retard
progress. absorb profits and deny that
fair chance to which youth is en-
titled. One of the evil results of the
wholesale spending policy of the last
three years is the burden it will i'm
pose upon the next generation"
Col. Knox said prosperity had re-
turned to Great Britain in a greater
degree than to any other industrial
nation because policy of excessive"
government spending had been sup
planted by one Of economy.
Administration Blamed.
He blamed the administration for
Creation of the greatest debt any
nation ever incurred in the history
of the world" He added:
BY the end of the next fiscal year
the Federal debt will approximate
$40 0,000,000 5000. To this must be added
another $l5,000,000,0O0. approximate
ly, owed by small political subdivi-
sions, making a total debt burden
confronting the youth of the Nation
of $4,000 100000.
Not less than so years will be re-
quired to discharge the obligations.
Thus, the young men and women of
this graduating class and hundreds
of thousands more like you, must bear
throughout the entire earning period
of your lives a burden such as no
generation of Americans hitherto has
been asked to shoulder"

10. That "in view of the chaotic
condition of international law con-
corning neutral rights and the fact
that infrir. cement Of our claims to
such neutral riots are almost newt
able in case OF another major war,
Congress should seriously consider the
possibility that even another military
victory in another war would not
necessarily establish these rights
against our own allies in any
such war"
IL. That no licenses for arms ex-
ports be issued unless the government
of the importing country acquiescences
and that penalties for inaccurate
labelling, false manifests and false
destinations be increased.

 Declarer took two rounds of trump, East showing out on the second round and discarding a diamond. A club was led and won by West with the ace.
 West continued with the jack Of hearts, but declarer did not ruff this trick; otherwise, West would have had command of the trump situation. South made safety play and discarded the eight of dia- monds.
 Now West was helpless. Declar- CT had the rest of the tricks. If a heart were continued. this could be ruffed in dummy with the nine of spades, and the outstanding trumps picked up.
