GAS TAX SHIFT
PLAN HIT

Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, District
director of highways, told mem
bers of the bridges and avenues
and streets committees Of the
Board of Trade at their joint
meeting yesterday that diversion
of the gasoline tax into the gen.
eral fund would cut off Federal
contribution. He said:
Diversion of the gas tax Ger.
tainIy will mean that we will get
no Federal aid, but 1 do not
think there will be any diver
sion"
Captain Whitehurst spoke to
the committees at a luncheon in
the Harrington Hotel. Plans for
widening Bladensburg Road near
the underpass and for restoring
the Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge
item to the budget we're discussed.
The committee also considered
extension of New Hampshire Ave

called him a shameless violator

Bishop Cannon challenged Rep

sands of refugees from eastern
Arkansas, where tributary flood
waters have inundated more than
10000 farm homes between
Blytheville and Helena. The Mis-
siSSippi leveeS were holding "all
along the line" however, engineers
reported.
Downstream the pick and shovel
army of more than 100000 men
guarding the billion-dollar levee
system prepared for the deluge.
Army engineers were confident
the flood-control system will keep
the Mississippi within bounds, but,
nevertheless, 10000 levee workers
we're massed along the 17-mile
front stretching from Hickman,
KY, to Tiptonville, Tenn, and a
fleet of $50 Coast Guard boats
stood by ready for rescue work.
Other Dangers Appear
Rain, wind, sand boils and Seep-
age are the principal dangers now,
engineers said as they announced
all the main levees have been bull
warked to hold even more water
than is in sight.
Despite the confidence of en-
gineers, they continued their vigil
ance and their day-and-night patrol
of the dikeS. An instance of their
vigilance was noted at Dundee,
Miss. yesterday when a sand boil
erupted back of the main line
levee. An emergency crew hemmed
in the geyser with sand bags. while
another crew threw up a secondary
levee embracing the sand boil.
Another emergency occurred just
below Carthersville when a sub
merged barn DETECTED the current
against the levee. The engineers
checkmated the DETECTION with a
hastily erected dixie.
The river stage at Memphis early
today was Ala feet, at Helena 48
feet.
Aid Sent Army Troops
Reinforcements were sent to the
aid of 1000 Regular soldiers sta
toned in eastern Arkansas today,
to aid in the work of evacuation
should it become necessary.
Authorities pointed out, how.
ever, that these measures were pre-
cautionary movements and that it
is fully expected the flood crest
will pass down to the gulf without
a major levee break.

BY EARL GOODWIN

There are funeral orations all
over town today for the late
lamented CLOSE Adviser Of the
President" who passed away sud-
denly yesterday afternoon under a
blast from none other than the
President himself.
TOO many columniStS and maya.
zine writer's have been taking the
President out on the end of a
limb and telling what they
thought they knew about his
policies. Specifically, the Presi'
dent, his aides, and his congress
sional friends. have been stirred
up by articles by DR.. Stanley High,
who has been editorially touted
as "close adviser of the President" ."
Obit Notice
Hence this statement was issued
late yesterday by the Presidents
secretary, Stephen T. Early:
"The President announced
the death of the Official
Spokesman in March, 1888. He
now announces the passing of
the O-called authoritative
spOkesman-thOse who write as
one of the Presidents close ad-
visers."
Latest ruffled feelings in the
matter of DR.. High come from
Senators who felt they were
wrongly treated in DR.. Highs
latest exposure of what he be-
lieved to be the Presidents
policies. DR.. High was rough on
Democratic Leader Robinson and
Vice President Garner. 1t is
understood that their indignation
prompted the President to wipe
out the "close "dviser" stuff
and get rid of it once and for all
DR.. High has been worrying the

meeting, and later to a large
gathering of newspaper representa-
tives, it was easy to gather from
his facial expressions, and his tone
of voice that he had found the
way he long had sought to change
the Supreme Court and not the
Constitution.
He proposed changes in pro
cedure, he said, all the way up and
down for complete and speedy JUS
tice-and as a final statement he
said:
"If these measures achieve
their aim we may be relieved of
the necessity of considering any
fundamental changes in the
powers of the courts or the Con-
stitutiOn of our Government
changes which involve cOnSe-
quences so far reaching as to
cause uncertainty as to the wis
dom of such course"
While this final sentence carried
the idea either change the court
or change the Constitution, the
sharp threat and the amazing sug-
gestionS concerning the highest
court in the land were buried in

At Detroit, definite progress was
reported by Governor Frank
Murphy after the fifth session
since Wednesday adjourned early
today.
Before the peace mediators de
parted, tired but cheerful, they
shook hands. Principals are vii
liam S. KnudSen, General Motors
Company vice president, and John
L. Lewis, chief strike strategiSt.
Shortly before the start of last
nights parley, Governor Murphy
received long-distance phone cal.
from Washington. He refused tc
say whether he had talked with
President Roosevelt or Secretary
of Labor Frances Perkins.
Observers saw signs of immi
nent peace in the lengthy confer
ences. The fact that the confer
encs have been prolongd indicated
no irreconciliable differences have
arisen, it was contended.
1t was reliably learned that two
major issues of the far-reachine
industrial war remained unsettled
although both sides had yieldeC
toward a compromise. One is thu
extent of union recognition by
General Motors. The other con
Germs the Unions demands for {
30-hour week.
According to reports, both side!
have withdrawn from their former
determined positions.
General Motors, which hac
previously refused to recognize
the United Auto Workers Unior
as the sole collective bargaining
agency, was reported now ready tt
grant the union full recognition IL
the plants closed by strikes. Lewis
it was said, no longer demands
bargaining rights for all of tht
corporations 100000 employees.
But at l a. m. today the treaty
seekers had not found the line O.
demarcation between union anc
non-union plants.
Murphy Is Factor
In addition to serving as "um
pire" at the parley, Governor
Murphy was keeping a close checl
on the Flint situation. He fell
confident the presence of 4,O0(
troops there would prevent ex
changes of words between warrins
forces there from developing intC
renewed violence.

Criminal Court trial of Bishop
Cannon did not got into the sub

sentative Tinkham in the address
or in the statement which formed
the basis of the libel suit.
