duced tax bill which would do more
harm than good.
Economic insanity" was the de-
scription Representative Clifford, Re-
publican, Massachusetts, applied to the
undistributed profits tax
The House bill would make exten-
sive alterations in the undistributed
profits tax, while retaining its prin-
ciple for corporations with incomes
in excess of $4,000 a year.
When the House recessed until Mon
day, Democratic Leader Rayburn Of
Texas failed, because Mr.. Boileau OBJ
jected, to obtain an agreement de-
signed to assure vote late Wednesday
afternoon.
Reorganization Bill Debated.
The Senate had Saturday holiday
after having confirmed, 81 to 4, yes
terday the nomination of Robert H.
Jackson for the position of Solicitor
general and debated the Government
reorganization bill.
With day off. legislators were con-
sidering the possible implications of
the Presidents assertion that he hoped
tor wage-hour legislation this session,
but that it might not be possible to
obtain action.
House leaders in recent discussions
have omitted a wage-hour bill from
their list Of measures which must be
passed before adjournment.
Most members interpreted the Presi-
dents statement as indicating he was
reconciled to the fact that a labor
standards act might not be placed on
the statute books for another year.
While the House was expected to
vote On the tax bill some time next
week. there was no prospect when the
Senate debate on the Government re-
organization measure would end.
So far, opponents have centered
their argument on provision which
would abolish the Office of controller
general and give some of its powers
to the budget director and an auditor
general.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, Of
Michigan, attacked this provision yes
terday as one which would rob Con-
gress Of existing controls over public

on the Soviet government for permits
sfbn for a member of its embassy
staff in Moscow to see Mrs. Rose
Marie Rubens, an American woman
being held there in connection with
an espionage investigation.

derson, American Charge D'Affaires,
at Moscow, to address formal note
to Maxim Litvinoff, the Soviet COM
nissar for foreign affairs, asserting
that the United States is unable to
accept his further delay in allowing
diplomatic representative to inter-
view the woman in prison
In his note, Henderson was direct
ed to call Litvinoffs attention to the
foreign commissars letter of Novem-
her Is, 1888 to President Roosevelt.
Iitvinoff promised that nationals OF
the, United States would be granted
rights in the Soviet union of legal pro-
lection, which would not be less fa-
vorable than those enjoyed by ma
tionals of the nations most favorite
