Alderman of the Graduate School of Journalism of Columbia university told more than 1000 newspaper. publishers, editors and business executives last night that only a strong, honest press has saed the United States from real danger of revolution in the last seven years.

EASTERN ROADS
 AGREE TO CUTS

New York, April 24-UP)--East- ern railroads, facing Baltimore & Ohio railroad competition, ill cut basic passenger fares June 2 to conform to the recently issued in- terstate commerce commission or der, 1t was announced today.
 The new rates will be two cents a mile in coaches and by elimina- ton of sur-charges. three cents a mile in Pullman cars.
 The decision was made reluctant ly yesterday by meeting of the eastern carriers presidents. The B. & O., under the direction of its president, Daniel Willard, led the fight for reduced passenger fares at the commissions hearing before the order was issued. It filed its new tariff schedule with the commission last Wednesday, thus forcing the other eastern carriers to do like wise or compete with lower fares.

BUDGET TAX BILL
 MAY BE ALTERED

Washington, April 24-(UP)-- Administration strategy pointed to- day toward a complete rewriting of the house version of President Roosevelt's budget-tax bill when 1t reaches the senate next week.
 Debate of the bill in the house, meanwhile, failed to stir unusual in terest. The sharp republican as sault, admittedly hopeless, had been anticipated. So. too. was the de- fense by democratic leaders.
 Speaker Joseph Byrns called the house into session at II a. m, an hour earlier than usual, to speed completion of the 16 hours of gen. eral debate allotted the bill. The real battle, OCT amendments, is ex- pected to start Monday.
 Democratic leaders predicted the bill would pass the house next Friday and be sent to the senate. Republican leaders, conceding the heavy democratic majority would vote for the bill, had little hope of materially changing 1t by amend ments.

 lowing Hearing Today

 On Formal Closing
Present Amount Represents More Than DOubIe of Original QuOta-Spirit of Waterburians Described
 as Remarkable By Mrs. Ladd, Executive Sec'y

The local Red Cross flood relief drive completes It's fifth week of ex- istence today, with figures released at the Field street headquarters showing total of approximately $l8,500. This figure is more than twice the second quota of $7,500. There has been no official word here in connection with the closing of the drive, but 1t is generally understood, with contributions during the last week totaling but few dollars, that the drive IS practically finished.
 Figures released in connection with contributions received from New Haven citizens by the Red Cross offlce there show that Water bury compares favorably with the rest of the state, figuring on a basis of comparative population. The city of New Haven, with pop ulation of approximately 160,000, shows total of $28,000 for the flood relief drive. This figure indicates that Waterbury has kept abreast of the Elm City, the total showing that about Is cents per person has been contributed, this city's figures hav- ing been based on a 100000 popula- ton basis.
 In Hartford, where the disaster was most seriously felt, the citizens have donated no less than $86,000 to the flood relief drive for those who were made homeless by the flood.
 Mrs. Edith Ladd, executive Secre- tary of the local unit, in reviewing the past five weeks, stated that 1t was remarkable how the citizens of this city had responded to the appeal for funds. She further point ed out that this response was spon- taneous, for most of the money now tabulated had been donated in the first two weeks of the drive. John M. Burrall, head of the Red Cross here, was general chairman of the drive.
