TOXIC. July 1.-Japanese reports
said tonight that five more Soviet
qunboats had appeared today at Sen
nufu Island in the Amur River, where
an alleged Soviet invasion has led
to an armed clash between the Russian
river craft and Japanese -Manchu-
kuoan border artillery.
These advices. together with con-
tinued Soviet occupation Of the main
island and what japanese sources
said was MoscoW's failure to reply to
Tokio's protests on the invasion, -
heightened official apprehension.
The cabinet has declared that only
the evacuation of Sennufu Island and
other disputed border territory by So

AS it stands now, both Russia and
Japan consider the other the aggressor.
Plea for Peace Reported.
Dispatches from Moscow to the
newspaper Asahi, meanwhile, said the
japanese Ambassador there made a
passionate plea for peace to Soviet Off
Gals, regardless of the technical ques-
ton Of ownership of the Amur Islands.
However, indications were that any
amicable settlement would come only
after protracted argument, charges
and counter-charges
Emperor Hirohito, himself. received
from the army and navy full report
on the crisis.

From both sides of the frontier were

vast Far Eastern Red Army, supported

The Emperor, after the cabinet

Senator Robinson of Arkansas. the
Democratic leader, said today he was
drafting a substitute for the Roose-
welt court bill for probable introduc-
ton tomorrow.
He declined to discuss the terms
of his measure, but colleagues said
it was based on the idea of adding
one justice year to the Supreme
Court for each justice over rs.
Introduction of this substitute Will
mark the formal abandonment of
the fight tor the original Roosevelt
proposal BY Senate administration
forces
Senator Wheeler. Democrat, of Mon
tana and other foes have said for
weeks they could beat the original
Roosevelt bill, and that any COM
promise which might gain enough
votes to win would meet with a fill
buster.
Robinson announced his plans after
series Of conferences with other
Senators and final meeting yester-
DAY with Attorney General Cum
mings
His substitute was reported to be
based on the original compromise
offered in the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee by Senator Hatch, Democrat,
of New Mexico, with the age limit
changed from 70 to IS years.
Under this proposal, If the four
Supreme Court justices now past IS
continued to serve, the President could
appoint one new justice a year for
four years
AS the older justice retired or died,
the vacancies would not be filled. and
the court gradually would drop back
to its present size.
Senate leaders, who have been
negotiating for compromise such as
Robinson has been drafting, have said
it would get at least 81 votes in the
Senate, or 5 more than majority.
They have conceded the possibility
of flllbuster, which might prevent
it from reaching a final vote.
Robinson is expected to move next
week to take up the Roosevelt bill,
now on the Senate calendar with an
unfavorable report, and then move
Immediately to substitute his COM
promise
If the Senate agrees. this would
make the substitute the basis for the
debate. 1t would require revision Of
many of the long speeches which
opponents have prepared.

compromise plan involving a COM

however, no decision had been reached
and no information was forthcoming
from the committee as to any specific
changes debated at the first executive
session.
The only statement made by Chair
man King was that the committee
merely had explored the entire SUBJ
ject, and listened to a resume by the
Commissioners of their original tax
recommendations and the various
steps by which the tax sources we're
changed before the measure passed the

Wide Range of Viewpoints.
In view of the wide range of view
points in the committee as to how the
needed revenue should be raised. there
is no certainty that the idea of in
sertlng both sales tax and an income
levy will be agreed upon. These forms
OF taxation, however, were the two
major issues on which most of the
witnesses lined up during the three
days Of public hearings.
In other words. while the gross re-
celpts tax Of three-ffths of l per
cent on virtually all business and pro-
fessional groups bore the brunt of the
opposition at the hearings, the wit
nesses divided sharply as between the
sales tax and the income tax as the
proper substitute.
This gave rise to speculation, there
fore, that a middle ground might be
reached in the committee by incor-
porating both of these PHILOSOPHERS of
taxation in the amended bill. The
opposition that would arise in the
Senate and House to either sales
tax or an income tax amendment,
standing alone, might be offset or
lessened by enbodying both plans.
II this course of action should be
decided on and meets with Senate
approval, House and Senate conferees
