further indica ton OF the sincerity Of
the good neighbor policy"
Cites Personal Contact.
Calling attention to his personal
appearance at the conference, the
President said in his message to the
Senate that he could, therefore, testify
personally Ito the earnestness of pur-
pose Of the many outstanding states
men of the Americas gathered there
and to their determination to give
an example to the world Of interna-
tional cooperation in order that peace
may prevail"
The eight instruments. he declared
evidence the desire and the will OF
the American peoples to live in peace
one with another, and they provide
the long-awaited mechanisms for in
suring the cooperation between ma
tions indispensable to the main
tenance Of peace"
Accompanying the message to the
Senate was a letter from Secretary
Hull explaining the significance OF
the documents. The White House did
not make this public, however, be.
cause it was a matter reserved TO,

.LEG|SLAT0RSACT
TO AID JORD0N
Arrange for Interview With
Pardon Attorney in Behalf
of Convicted Man,

A special House subcommittee Ap-
pointed to investigate complaints OF
inadequate law enforcement in the
District arranged today for an inter-
view this afternoon with Pardon At
torney Daniel M. Lyons in behalf Of
Thomas Jordon, convicted slayer OF
Mrs Lizzie S. Jaynes.
The House District Committee au-
thorized this action at brief session
this morning when the report Of the
subcommittee, recommending against
general congressional investigation
OF crime in the District, was accepted.
Daylight Saving Delayed.
Scheduled action on daylight-sav-
ing bill for Washington was put over
until next week. when 1t developed
that a subcommittee which conducted
hearings on the measure had not COM
pleted its report. 1t is expected the
report of the subcommittee will make
no recommendation on the bill, leav-
ing the District Committee free to
make whatever recommendation 1t
desires to the House.
The Crime Subcommittee, headed
by Representative Palmisano Demo-
crat, of Maryland, voted several days
ago to intercede with the Justice De-
partment for Jordon, who is scheduled
to be electrocuted June IA. At the
conference with Lyons this afternoon
it is expected the subcommittee will
turn over all the evidence bearing on
Jordon's case that it assembled during
its recent hearings.
Bates Gets Statements.
Representative Bates, Republican, Of
Massachusetts, said he had secured
statements from three witnesses to the
shooting of Mrs. Jaynes. This, it Is
expected, will be submitted to the de-
partment with the other evidence.
One of these statements was made by
Mrs. Clark r. Long, 1348 Iris street.
Mrs. Long said in her statement she
had carefully "sized up" the slayer
of Mrs. Jaynes, expecting that she
would be called as witness later
She added she could have testified
definitely whether Jordon was the
slayer, had she been called as wit
ness during his trial.
Newspaper photographs of Jordon,
she said, bear no resemblance to the
man she saw in the Garden T Shoppe
| the night Mrs. Jaynes was shot.
Mrs. Long was one of four persons
in the establishment at the time OF
! the shooting. None of them has been
asked to identify Jordon.
The. Crime Subcommittee was not
discharged, action on its steps being
deferred until the next meeting Of the

Warned by Representative Dirksen
republican, of Illinois, that the pro-
posed 2 per cent general sales tax
would not be approved by the House
3he special tax subcommittee of the
House District Committee today sur
yeyed other potential sources of
revenue, including an increase in the
zeal estate tax, as means of raising
sufficient funds to preclude the now
anticipated s800O,000 budget deficit
In the coming fiscal year.
In addition to an increase in the
real estate tax, the subcommittee took
under advisement proposals for q
business privilege tax, an increase
from 80 to 30 cents a gallon in the tax
on liquor, and the use of parking
meters in the business section.
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen told
the subcommittee real estate already
Is bearing its fair share Of the tax
burden, but he did not believe there
would be serious objection to an in
crease from $3.50 to sl.60 in the tax
rate.
Such a 1O-cent raise, he pointed out,
would yield only 100000, and still
leave the District with the problem
bf finding another S4.000,00O if the
sales tax plan is scrapped.
Defers Definite Action.
The subcommittee again deferred
definite action on the tax program 1t
plans to write to keep the District out
Of the red In the new fiscal year, but
announced 1t would meet tomorrow at
am. for that purpose. Chairman
Kennedy served notice on members
the program would have to be COM
pleted before Tuesday so the full Dis
trict Committee could pass on it at the
regular meeting next Wednesday.
At the outset of the meeting, Dirk
Sen declared he had tried to appreci-
ate the grave financial situation fac
Ing the District, and is willing to sup
port all the proposals of the Commits
sioners for raising additional revenue
except the sales tax plan.
''The sales tax hasn't a ghost of a
Show to get through the House" he
said. 1T would become a political
headache. Sales taxes should be
Pbolished in every State that has them.
In my own State, which has a sales
tax, 1t is very unpopular"
Commissioner Dan I. Sultan ex-
planned the sales tax was urged for
pnly one year because 1t would tide
the District over during the period of
financial stress.
Your emergency is a fiscal, not an
economic one" replied Dirksen.
But the sales tax would be in effect
bn1y one year." interrupted Commits
eioner HaZen.
III 1t goes on the books" replied
pirksen, "it won't come off in one
year or two years"
Hazen Supports Plan.
Hazen, however, pleaded with the
subcommittee to approve the plan

clean up this whole muddle," he said
