hunting for a home for his brood

MOSCOW, Nov. 20 GN.S0.

Russia plans to withdraw all her
troops from Spain.
1t was pointed out, further, that
Russian officials have never ad-
mitted the presence of Soviet
troops in Spain.

ports that the Soviet Union in

by a spokesman for the Soviet
Embassy here today.
Without admitting any Russian
troops were fighting with the
loyalists, the embassy spokesman
said the Soviets would continue
their moral" support of the gov
ernment side.

PRESIDENT HIT
ON TAX PLANS

G.N.S.) Liberalize business
taxes, balance the budget and
adopt new labor policy. Senator
Steiwer (R.J of Oregon, warned
the Administration yesterday, or
prosperity will not return.
Steiwer predicted most of the
New Deal will be thrown over
board" before business RECEIVERS its
former boom times.
This fear that exists in the
country today is not ordered
from the top" he declared, ut
has spread out below due to
actual experiences of the aver
age business man.
II am confident Congress in
the next six months will make
definite concessions to business.
They will be forced by the neces-
stiles of the situation.
THE Presidents proposed
tax changes won't do. They
miss the point entirely. He
would base his distinction on
szie when we must care for every
corporation, regardless Of size,
that needs new construction and
is unable to get it due to the
Federal tax laws"
"Is the President slipping in
the country?" he was asked.
mo, not substantially if you
mean in votes" Steiwer replied.
But if you mean is his position
less tenable, the answer is yes.
His position will soon be utterly
impossible"

News service.)
LONDON. Nov. 20.-Great Brit,
aims latest effort to restore peace
to a strife-torn Europe was feared
gravely endangered today by dis.
closure in Paris of what seems to
be a species of Fascist plot against
the Leftist regime.
British authorities were exceed.
ingly perturbed over the revela-
tions, particularly the warning of
Premier Camille Chautemps to the
Chamber of Deputies that "un-
happy surprises of terrible grav-
ity" may be in store.
"COVER-CP" IRKS
The British anxiety was any
thing but lessened by Chautemps'
failure to disclose in detail the
surprises" no matter how I'm.
happy they may be.
Viewed together with recent re-
ports tie conspiratorS established
scores of secret radio stations
along the Franco-German frontier
and that some master mind" has
been directing the plot preSum-
ably with the approval if not the
sponsorship of some foreign gov
ernment, the premier's statement
had a decidedly unsettling effect.
Should subsequent revelations
involve Italy in any way, the in.
evitable straining of Franco.
Italian relations would be bound
to interfere with consummation
of a western European agreement
at present the chief aim of
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain's government.
PHIPPS TO INQUIRE
Sir Eric Phipps, British ambas-
sador to Paris, was officially in,
structed to make immediate in.
quiries into the affair. This in
itself was an unusual step, for the
"Cagoulard" conspiracy ostensibly
is a French internal affair of no
concern to Britain whatever.
From the tenor of Chautemps'
speech it is deduced here that he
and others high in the councils of
the government know a great deal
more than they have yet decided
to impart to Parliament.

STRIKING PARALLEL

A striking parallel in the Presi.
dents message to Ayres was re-
called in a similar investigation
ordered in 1917 by Woodrow viii,
son. Then, as prices began to soar
during the war period, Wilson
wrote to the commission:
1T has been alleged before
committees of the Congress, and
elsewhere, that the course of
trade in important food prod
ucts is not free, but is restricted
and controlled by artificial and
illegal means"
AS an outcome the grain futures

1.N.SJ new JrOuDIeS peSeC
President Roosevelt's special ses-
sion OF Congress today. as its
first week of work closed with
nothing accomplished.
In the first place, Senate clamor
for tax revision to help business
before the first of the year rose to
new heights, as a Senate roll dis
closed more than a third of the
Senate favoring outright repeal of
the undistributed profits tax.
Most Of these sought action at the
special session, adding worry to
leaders striving to stem this tide
and postpone tax action until the
regular session in January.
FILIBUSTER ALARMS
Secondly, sudden rebellion of
Southern Democrats who have fiji.
ibuStered the anti-lynching bill in
the Senate this week brought an.
nouncements If proponents seek
to again bring it up later, they will
renew their filibuster. The farm
bill promised for Monday will dis
place anti-lynching, so that tenn
porary victory was virtually &C.
complished for the opposition.
The rebellion foreshadowed more
delay tactics when supporters
seek to bring it up after action on
the farm bill.
HERE'S THE OUTLOOK
Finally, it appeared organized
labor disagreed over provisions it
wants in the wage-hour bill, de-
spite a break in Southern opposi-
ton. And Senate opposition to
the reorganization bill sponsored
by Senator Byrnes CD of South
Carolina. sharpened with an
nouncement by Senator Clark CD
OF Missouri, that he doesn't like
its provisions.
This was the outlook for Demo
cratic leadership as five days Of
work for the special session was
reviewed and showed as accom-.
plishments:
/. Passage of a bill to loan
three Government-owned pic.
lures to the celebration of the
Sesqui-centennial anniversary Of
the Constitution signing.
2. Adoption of a resolution
calling on the Secretary of Agri-
culture to supply information on
the drug sulfanimide.
AS for the farm measure prom
iSed early next week, despite lead
ers' predictions it would be speed
lily disposed of, there were factors
involved indicating extended de-
bate. There was a wide variety of
sentiment as to the correct
method of crop control, and this
bill will produce argument.
REVOLT SURPRISES
The Southern rebellion came as
something of a surprise to spon
sors of the anti-lynching bill
Senators Wagner of New York
and Van Nuys, of Indiana, Demo

providing that after the farm bill
