plete grasp of the situation and his
keen analytical ability overshadowed
completely the nominal chairman, E.
V. Webb, of Lenior county. Senator
Taylor was likewise a member of fl
nance, and was prominent in every
phase of the committees work, but
apparently was not quite so influen-
tial as Rodman in it's deliberations.
Neither of the pair was on approp-
riations and for that reason, it is pos
sible the lieutenant governor will ap-
point 1887 member Of that group

the most likely appointee is Senator

Tallnadge Second;

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. Is Q.N.S0
The veteran Senator Walter F.
George, who does not "speak the
same language" as President
Roosevelt, today apparently was
nominated for a new six-year term
IN the United States Senate de-
spite vigorous opposition of the
President.
On the basis of unofficial re-
turns from 154 of the 159 counties
in the State, Senator George was
assured 154 county unit votes. He
was leading in enough other coun-
ties to bring his total county unit
vote-unless there is an unfore-
seen change in the trend of vot-
ling-to 2l6, well beyond the 206
majority required by law.
Talmadge Second
The returns from the 154 coun-
ties gave the Senator a total
popular vote of 122,71s. far in the
lead Of his nearest rival. How
ever. the county unit vote and
not the popular vote governs
nomination under the Georgia
system.
In second place in the Senate
race was the red,gallused former
governor, Eugene Talma d g e,
whose criticism Of the New Deal
has far overshadowed any opposi-
ton by Senator George. Talmadge
held a popular vote Of 86,293. He
was assured Of 50 county unit
votes and was leading in enough
other counties to bring his total
to 1873.
There was a bit Of irony in the
strong bid Of the former governor,
for when President Roosevelt, in
his now famous purge" speech
at GAINESVILLE, castigated the
record of Senator George and
urged the election Of Lawrence
Camp, he also referred to the
former governor and promptly
dismissed his candidacy with
biting sarcasm.

Roosevelt Tax Measure To Cause Another Big Battle

Washington, April 16-(UP)-A bitter constitutional debate in con- gress was predicted today over President Roosevelt's proposal for legislation permitting federal taxa ton of the securities and payrollS of state governments.
 Congressmen already have eX- pressed diverging views on the issue.
 Conservatives believe that such action can not be taken by the federal government without sub hitting it to the several states as constitutional amendment.
 Liberals contend that the recent trend of supreme court decisions in tax cases indicates that the conSti- tutionality of an act embodying such principles will be upheld by the court.
 Although MT. Roosevelt will pre- sent his proposals to congress soon in a special message, there was lit tie possibility of action at this ses- sion. Congressmen are anxious to adjourn next month and already 8 drive is underway by administration leaders to go home by May 15.
 The senate has adopted proposals similar to those suggested by MT, Roosevelt as amendments to pre- vious tax bills, but they always have been eliminated in conference with the house.
 The 1888 tax revision bill now
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-04-16

in conference, contains an amend ment by Senator William E. Borah, Republican, Idaho, which would re- move tax exemption from future is- sues of federal securities. But it's elimination in conference was fore cast because of treasury objection to removal of the exemption on federal securities without similar action on the securities of state, county and municipal governments.
 Meanwhile, the tax conferences remained daedlocked over the un- distributed profits and capital gains taxes. House members have refused to accept the senate's elimination of the profits tax and drastic mod ification of the gains tax.
 Senate conferees, it was under stood, have urged house members to submit the issues on the house floor for vote. Confident of sen- ate support, they believe that house members also will approve the changes in drive to stimulate business.
 Those who believe an act of con- gress would be sufficient to au- thorize the presidents new tax principles, point to series of su- preme court tax decisions begin ming last Novsmber. Some tax ex- puerts claim that they indicate more liberal view toward the au- thority of the federal government to tax state-derived income.

FOUND JEWELRY
 ALL IDENTIFIED

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. April 16.- (UP) The shcriff's office reported today that jewelry found by convicts near Hollywood, Fla, had been iden- tified as part of that stolen from the homes of Maj. Albert D. Warner, movie executive, and Albert Pick, Chicago merchant.
 All but two pieces of the $86,400 in jewelry taken from Warmers home Feb. 28 was identified. One of Picks watches was in the pack age. His winter home was robbed Dec. 30.
 Federal bureau of Identification agents were aiding Sheriff Walter Clark's force in checking the rest of the $150,O0O assortment found bundled in a towel and half exposed in a freshly dug holc.
 The convictS were clearing a site for the cemetery when they made the discovery. The thieves, authori- ties said, evidently lacked a ready market and had chosen to bury 1t.
 Included in the bundle were a woman's diamond and platinum wrist watch, three diamond and platinum bracelets, four rings and a pearl necklace.
