ture of the bill which would
subject persons living in nearby
Virginia and who work in Wash
ington to the income tax. Smith
represents Arlington and Fairfax
counties. "
PaImisano In Charge
Only a handful of members
were present as the session at
which the tax battle will be
fought convened.
Representative Ambrose Ken
needy CD, Of Maryland, chair
man Of the subcommittee which
wrote the tax program, would
have charge Of the bill on the
floor today, but instead, Repre-
sentative Vincent L. Palmisano
Cd, of Maryland, acting chair
man of the House District Com
mittee came on the floor pre-
pared to handle the measure.
Although the Senate has rewrit'
ten certain portions Of the appro-
priations measure so as to increase
the deficit, Kennedy and other
members Of the tax subcommittee
feel they are responsible only for
what the House did and that the
Senate should add potential reve-
nues to the amount it caused the
deficit increase.
RwnNvann Tov uuPIIm
The two items of major con-
troversy in the program are tee
income tax and the business priv
ilege tax.
The former is so drawn, in the
belief Of the subcommittee which
wrote it, that it will apply to the
salaries of Congressman, District
employees and Federal employees
who work in the District, as well
as other citizens of the National
Capital.
Representative Merlin Hull (P0
of Wisconsin is expected to lead
the fight to eliminate the provi-
sions permitting this tax to be ap-
piled to congressman and others
on the Federal pay roll who are
here only part of the year, con-
tending that it is unconstitutional
and would subject this type of en-
ploye to double taxation-botn
here and at home.
Some claim that if this provision
is approved as drawn it will raise
as much as 100000, while The
Kennedy group estimates it will
produce only $2.000,000.
Hull also contends that the pro-
posed business privilege tax was
hurriedly drawn and, if approved
"aS it," will hit not only the regu-
lar merchant but itinerant sales
men, hucksters, newspaper boys
who sell on the streets and others
in that class. The provision calls
for a $40 annual license fee and a
tax of 3-5 of / per cent on gross
receipts.

Theories Outlined
He explained:

the Department of Justice is

another 20 lives today.
This number was executed after
a secret trial at Svobodny, on
charges Of "Trotzkyism" an d
espionage on behalf Of Japan. The
executions followed by less than
4S hours the shooting Of eight
high ranking Soviet army leaders
on similar charges.
The executions were disclosed
upon receipt here of the Svobodny
newspaper Pacific Ocean Star.

Dissatisfied with preparations

GARNER BREAK.
WITHHIS BOSS
JUST RUN0R
Vice President Is on
Fishing Trip and
Nothing More
By EARL GOODWIN

Vice President Garner, taking
the politicians privilege Of going
fishing in the midst of political
tangle, gives rise to the rumor
that he and President Roosevelt
have reached a parting Of the
ways on the Supreme Court plan
and other New Deal detectives.
Truth is: Vice President Garner
planned and announced (to a few
friends) this fishing trip several
week ago. Then he fixed June Is
for the date.
Too Good a Party Man
As q well-disciplined veteran OF
the Democratic party, Vice Prest-
dent Garner. in the role Of Cactus
jack" is too good a party man TO
run out on the Presidential
though he does not like the full
Administration program. He Is
not so completely opposed to the
Supreme Court changes as many
Of the Presidents opponents would
have the public believe. He Is, so
Texans claim, rather favorable to
the so-called "two-judge COM
promise" He is reported to be.
lieve that the six additional
younger judges cannot be obtained
by legislation at this session Of
Congress.
However, Vice President Garner
is not throwing any monkey
wrenches, his friends claim.
Headed BY Veteran
Texas has plenty Of excitement
over its participation in the fight
for and against the Presidents Su-
preme Court detectives, without
concentrating on vice presidential
fishing trip. The House COMMIT
tee on the Judiciary, which ordl-
narily would be looked upon as the
spot whence the court bill would
emanate in the lower branch OF
Congress, is headed by a veteran
Representative Hatton w. Sum-
ners-who is looked upon IN the
Capitol and at the White House
as one of the deepest constitutional
students and an invaluable author
ity on matters pertaining thereto.
II would have been a natural
thing chad Representative sum-
ners introduced q bill on the SUB
iect of Supreme Court changes
but what happened was that an
other Texan-RepreSentative Ma
verick-grabbed the suggested bill
from the Presidents message on
the subject and tossed it into the
hopper with his name penciled
across the top. Hence the So
called Maverick bill is the only
legislative suggestion on the sub
ject introduced in the House.
Looks to Summers
This is a matter OF personal
pride to Representative Maverick,
but so far as progress on framing
an enacted law on the subject is
concerned, nothing has happened,
and experts believe that nothing
will happen in the House until the
Administration takes note that the
House looks to Chairman Summers
and not to Maury Maverick.
There is more danger Of an OBJ
struction to the court plan in
the Texas log jam in the House
than in cactus jacks" exodus

southern sources that the rumor
spread concerning retirements
from the high court of Justices
Van Devanter. and Sutherland.
The former justice has retired; but
there has been no confirmation
so far of any other.

British See VoroshiIoV,
Butcher Next in "Purge"

LONDON, June IA U.N.S).
Klementi Voroshilov, Soviet Com
missar for War and long a re-
puted rival Of Josef Stain, was
seen by British press dispatches
today as the next victim Of the
dictator's "bad dreams" .
Russia, where eight Of the
highest army generals were exc
cuted Saturday, now Is plunged
in the biggest crisis since the
revolution Of 1917" according to
the Daily Nails correspondent
in Viga, Latvia.
voroshilov, Gen. VASTLY Blu
cher, famous commander Of the
Red army in the Orient, and
General Yegev may be victims
of Stains newt purge" the Daily
Mail reported. The paper said:
"ChaOs is spreading through
out the country, with mass
executions everywhere, risings
in towns and villages and
strikes of workers. The Red
army is fast becoming de-
mOraIized under . reign of
suspicion"
The conservative and well-in-
formed Times of London COM
mented similarly, saying edi-
torially:
Stain has become slightly
more fabulous and Russia
slightly less formidable as q
result of the gen -:als' execu-
lions.
"The possibility of a split
between Stain and VcrOshiIOv
cannot be excluded. Unless
Stain curbs his fantastic sus-
piciOns, it seems that they
must either sooner or later faS-
ten upon VOrOshilOv or else

BERLIN, Jun IA Q.N.SJ.-Ger-
many today officially denied Mus
covite charges that the eight Rus
sian generals executed Saturday
for treason had been engaged in
espionage for the Reich. The Of
