TO SEND DRUM CORPS TO
 1887 CONCLAvE
Proposal Before Legion to Have Cordova Corps Att
 tend National Meeting

The Cordova Drum and Bugle Corps, here for the American Le- zion Department Convention, prob ably will be sent to the national convention next year, augmented by several more drummers and buglers from various cities in Alaska.
 This appeared certain today as convention leaders prepared to present such a proposal to the convention proper. Most of the delegates seemed to be in accord with the idea as they pointed out it would give widespread publicity and notice to the Territory.
 The plan would call for each Post and Auxiliary Unit contributing to- ward fund during the coming year to send the corps in de luxe style; enlarging the corps by get ting additional young musicians from other Alaska cities aside from Cordova, and have a representative group of delegates accompany the a. 4 |.

HOUSE CONFEREES
LAY TAX STRATEGY
Doughton Calls Advocates
of Graduated Profits Levy
Into HuddIe.
~ the Associated Press.

&y the Associated Press.
House conferees went into a shirt
sleeves huddle today to lay strategy
for the next phase of the struggle
waeed by the two sides of the Capitol
over the new revenue measure.
Chairman Doughton of the House
Ways and Means Committee, who
called his conferees together to study
anew the 289 amendments added to
the House bill by the Senate, indicated
there had been no lessening of his
drive to insist upon the House meas
ure.
Senator King. Democrat, OF Utah,
spokesman for the Senate conferees,
likewise insisted his side would press
for its provisions.
The chief point at issue appeared
10 be the tax on undistributed cor
porate profits. The House bill provided
q graduated levy on such profits UP
TO 42Ia per cent. while the Senate bill
called for a fiat per cent.
Neither side barred the way to COM
promise. however.
Know Roosevelt's Views.
House and Senate Democratic mem
bers of the Conference Committee
obtained President Roosevelt's views
on the subject yesterday. There was
no indication from those who attended
that a basis for agreement was reached
or that the conferees would lean
toward the House provisions which
are more in line with the Presidents
views than the Senate-approved bill
I'VE talked very freely with the
President and exchanged views on
the divergencieS in the two bills,
explained Senator King.
King would make no prophecy
on when the revised measure would
be ready for submission to the House
and Senate for final action.
He said, however. that with Con-
Eress in recess and several Republican
conferees at their national party
convention at Cleveland. no definite
action would be taken this week
on controversial points.
There is nothing in the tax bill
as I see it, that would cause pro-
lonEed discussion or lead TO failure
to agree King said, except the
fundamental taxation policies ex-
pressed in the two bills"
Hope to Speed Adjournment.
King said he saw no reason why
congressional action would not be
completed on the tax bill the first
of next week and allow Congress to
adjourn before the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. the week following
Doughton indicated the House group
probably would not be ready to meet
with Senate Conferees before tomorrow
While both King and Doughton said
they we're hopeful a satisfactory meas
TIRE would be worked out. King de-
clared he did not know whether the
Senate conferees would be willing to
go beyond per cent on the undis-
tributed profits levy. and Doughton
said he believed House conferees would
insist upon a graduated tax.
And there the matter rested as
the conferees rolled up their sleeves
and prepared to write what NAV turn
out to be an entirely new tax bill.
