Mr.. Mansfield made it plain the new

changes He asserted. however. he BE-.
lleved 1t conformed to President Roo,e-
Velts ideas on the subject.
AS originally introduced the leeisla-
ton called for creation OF seven au-
thorities patterned after the Tennes
see Valley Authority and empowered
to plan and execute conservation pro.
grams. Mr.. Roosevelt made it known
last summer he was agreeable to modt-
fication Of the legislation to restrict
1t 70 planning. Power development
projects such as those being carried
on by the T. v. A. were to have no
place in 1t and other programs de-
Veloped by the regional bodies would
require approval by Congress.

TROOP MOVE SEEN
AS HINT TOFUTURE
State Department Fearful
of Worse Developments
in Far East.
By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

High of1cials in the State Depart
nent regard the present situation
both in Europe and in the Far East
as increasingly threatening. Dra-
matte developments are expected to
break out in the course of the spring
or the summer.
The withdrawal Of the 18th regi-
rnent of Infantry stationed in Tientsin
is regarded by many observers as a
significant indication Of things to
come"
This regiment was organized eSpe-
cially for service in China and has
never been in garrison in this coun-
try. Men were enlisted in that unit
for service abroad only
Army Favored Withdrawal.
The War Department has been In
favor Of withdrawing that regiment
for many months. Since the Japa-
nese took effective control over Tient-
sin many high War Department off,
cials considered its presence there as
useless and dangerous. This point OF
view has been conveyed to the White
all the efforts to bring it back to
the United States we're blocked by
the State Department.
Our diplomats are sticklers for
treaties and thought that the with
drawal of the 800 officers and men
would be interpreted as sign OF
weakness on the part of this country
and give the Japanese and the Chi
nese the impression that we were
scuttling out OF China.
War Department officials argued
that IN the event of something un-
pleasant happening between this
country and Japan. the 18th Infantry
would be trapped and would have no
place to retire. While the marines
in Shanghai could be taken aboard
American ships and sent to the
Philippines the infantry regiment
would have nowhere to go. Manchukuo
Is a Japanese protectorate: Peiping
and Nanking, where until last Sum-
mer these troops could have with
drawn in order to reach a seaport,
are now in the hands of the Japanese
Army; consequently, it was said, there
could be no use to sacrifice 500 valu-
able officers and men for the sake
OF prestige.
Treaty Authorizes Troops.
These arguments which were pre-
sented repeatedly to the State De-
partment fell upon deaf ears until
last Friday. The treaty with China
the diplomats said, provides for the
maintenance Of military force in
Tlentsin and the withdrawal OF those
troops could be interpreted as giving
tacit recognition to Japans claims in
Northern China.
What has happened in the last few
days is not quite clear. But it seems
that the State Department has also
become apprehensive that something"
might occur in that area or in other
parts OF China which would jeopardize
the freedom If not the lives of the
men composing that American over
seas unit. Orders have been issued
by the War Department with the
consent Of the State Department that
the 18th Infantry should return to this
country at the earliest possible date
This date was set for the middle of
March.

NORRIS URGES
FRANKFURTER
ON HIGH COURT
Wants brain Trustcr'
Named as Successor to
Justice Cardozo

WAUPACA. Wrs., Aug. 8. (UP)
u. S. Senator George w. Norris Of
Nebraska last night urged Presi,
dent Roosevelt to appoint Felix
Frankfurter. original new deal
"braintrustcr," as justice of the
u. s. supreme court to succeed
the late Justice Benjamin Cor
dozo.
Norris said the opportunity TO
appoint Frankfurter to the Su
prcmc court bench was IAN OPP
portunlty to perform one Of the
greatest services cvrl performed
for the American pcoplc-an OPP
portunity that seldom comes more
than once in lifcti1"."
The Nebraska senator, "A noted
independent and liberal. urged
FrankfurtCr'S appointment in a
statement issued at his WaupaCa
summer home, where he is vaca-
tioning with Mrs. Ncrris.
"Thcrc is no man now in the
public eye who so fully and truly
represents the philosophy Of gov
eminent of Justice (Oliver Wen

Justice CardoZo. as does Frank
furtcr." Norris said.
"Frankfurter was the confidcn-
tial friend and adviser Of these
two great justices. II" has always
been the admircr and partisan Of
these two great men. The Amcri-
can people are onl Y now beginning
fully to appreciate the justice Of
the late Justice Holmes. and add
miring patriots by the millions
have but recently mingled their
tears at the bier Of Justice Car
dOZo.
"Without regard t. politics, re-
Iigion or creed. reverence for
these two departed justices will
increase in the hearts of the Am
crican people as time goes on.
Felix Frankfurter is the most
outstanding personality to CON
tinue and carry out the judicial
philosophy of these great states
men. The common people Of
America have faith IN President
Roosevelt. He will perpctuatc that
faith if he places Mr.. Frankfurter

1893 BY United Press

Copyright 1888 by United Pres,
WASHINGTON. Aug. s. UP)
Treasury department officials
have prepared confidential re.
port for Secretary Of the Treas.
ury Henry Morgenthau. Ir.. rec
ommcnding that congress enact
legislation for taxation Of future
federal. state and municipal
bonds which arc now tax-cxempt,
it. was learned yesterday. The re-
port also suggests reciprocal taxa
ton Of state and federal salaries.
The report was drafted under
supervision of Herman Oliphant,
treasury general counsel, as part
Of a revised tax structure pro-
gram being prepared by Roswell
Magill who is acting secretary
while Morgcnthau is mentioning
in Europe.
Both moves arc in line with
demands by President Roosevelt,
who, in a special message to con-
grcss last Auril 25. pointed out
that non-taxablc bonds, securities
and salaries arc costing the gov
crnmcnt millions annually in rev.
cnuc. He described the situation
as a "mcnacc and threat" to the
nations fiscal structure. Two
months later Attorney General
Homer Cummings Informed the
treasury that reciprocal federal
and state taxation Of govern
mental salaries and securities is
constitutional within the meaning
Of the sixteenth amendment which
empowers congress to levy on in
comes from "whatcvcr source de-
rived"
UNFOLDING this view, The treas
ury report urges congress itself
to enact the necessary legislation
instead Of adopting the "cumbcr-
some and uncertain method of the
constitutional amendment" t
said the decision by the supreme
court last May % holding that
employees of the Port of New
York Authority must pay federal
income taxes definitely opens
the way for the court to sweep
aside this uniuStifiablc' and UNI
unfair income tax exemption"
which "is dislocating government
finance"
The report asserts that the cX-
cmption problem has thwartcd the
intent of the income tax law
which is to distribute the (tax)
burden fairly and equitably." 1t
estimated that income from the
$50, 0OO,0OO,OO0 OBJ Of public Sc
curities is "wholly or PARTLY cx-
empt" from all income taxation,
while 100000 state and munich
pal employees drawing annual sal
aries totalling $2,500,000,000 arc
free from federal taxation. Also
about 100000 federal employ
eS receiving 81 ,75O.0O0,000, are
not paying state income taxes, it
said.
"AS long as this situation is al
lowed to remain" the report con-
tinued, at means that those who
work for living in private enter
prise must pay the tax; and that
thso who live from the federal
payroll pay no state taxes; that
those who live from state and To-
cal payrollS pay no federal tax;
that those who live off the inter
est from tax exempt bonds pay
no tax to anyone. This last group
