At the same time, President
Roosevelt ordered Myron Taylor,

head, to sail for London to en-

sail November 26, following a con-

The President also issued or

extend visitors permits of $4,000

have been required to return to

Both Private Nonortowich and

The four bodies found in the
charred wreckage were burned be-

funeral parlor the bodies were
taken.
A parachute was attached to
the fifth body, and the rip cord

The plane crashed in an almost
inaccessible spot. AmbulanceS
were able to approach within about
two miles, and a light truck was
used to bring the bodies from the
scene to the ambulanceS.
A group of persons living near
the scene heard the crash, and
when they saw the flames they
set out for the scene.
1t was necessary for a messenger
to walk about three and one-half
miles to the nearest telephone to
notify authorities.
The last word from the Inflated

The bomber passed over Atlanta

LONDON READY

Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain and members of his inner
cabinet" scanned the four-power
Munich agreement today in the
light of the recent anti-Jewish
measures in Germany and the
resultant diplomatic strain be-
tween the Reich and the United
States.
There were significant reports
that Chamberlain may prepare
the British public for possible
modification on his peace policy
as a result of the developments
in Germany and that he will warn
Chancellor Hitler that European
appeasement efforts are being en-
dangered.
During the next few days, it
was stated, British cabinet min
listers will make various public adj
dresses criticizing the anti-Jewish
measures in Germany and casting
doubts upon the value Of the
Munich peace agreement.
The ministers are expected to
declare that hopes for European
appeasement through the amputa-
ton of CzechoSlovakia seem to be
fading in view of the anti-Jewish
measures and the German press
attacks upon Britain.
Chamberlain and his advisers
are reported to have decided upon
a stronger policy-a decision
which may have been aided by re-
cent developments in the diplo,
matte relations between Germany
and the United States.

BORAH AND DIES
ASSAIL PL A n
TO ADMIT JEWS
Labor Chiefs Called
Opposed to Move
By ARTHUR HACHTEN

QNS) President Roosevelt's
proposal to liberalize immigration
laws to provide haven for Jewish
refugees from Germany and other
countries where they are being
prosecuted will meet stiff opposl-
ton in Congress, a survey of con-
gressional sentiment today re-
vealed.
Warning came from Senator
William E. Borah of Idaho, rank
ing Republican on the Senate For
eign Relations Committee and
dean of the Senate, that any at
tempt to relax the immigration
barriers will meet tremendous
opposition" in Congress.
IMMEDIATE PROTEST
The Presidents suggestion yes
terday that it would be legal for
him to extend indefinitely the six
month visas of tourists, actors and
businessmen and women from
abroad, met with immediate pro
test on Capitol Hill.
Representative Martin Die S
Cd, of Texas, said it was not his
understanding of the immigration
law that it empowers the PreSi-
dent to give foreigners, outside Of
quota limitations, permission to
stay in this country indefinitely
BY simply extending their viSas.
To do so would be violation OF
the spirit of the law, he con-
tended.
AGAINST CHANGE
81 do not believe it is de-
girable to change the immigra-
ton laws at this time" Borah
said. ANY change would be
wholly inadequate for real re-
lief and secondly it would
arouse tremendous opposition"
Dies said:
Il think any change in our
immigration laws Is purely a
question for Congress to decide.
I don't think the executive
branch has any authority in the
matter"
Spokesman for organized labor
will oppose loosening Of the i'm
migration barriers to permit an
influx of Jewish refugees, a mem

Though a member of the orthodox
Jewish faith, T always have looked, and
still do look, with great admiration at the
Christmas holiday. The spirit of giving,
the ideal of charity, the conception of
genuine and sincere regard for the poor
and underprivileged, which saturates the
atmosphere everywhere at the Yuletide
season, somehow indelibly impresses me,
and resurrects in my heart my faith in
the ultimate goodness of mankind.

platitude; living, vital force-rather
than mere Utopian symbol
But as a member of a race now bru-
tally and mercilessly oppressed in many
parts Of this world, I cannot help but
pray and ask for continuance of the
effective expression of this simple but
divine symbol of Christian charity to all
mankind, regardless Of race, creed or
color. I ask in the name of Him, whose
birth, life, death and resurrection has
meant so much to civilization in these

a pleasure to share the fine
enthusiasmS which characterized his
intelligence. His reactions were con-
sistently vitalized by his ardent
idealistic spirit.
Words, however, are inadequate
tributes. Instead, Washington must
raise monument of deeds to DR..
Simon. His example does not die.
Instead, it is assured of immortality
among all who hold dear the tradi-
tions of America and of the Federal
Center in which he was SO usefully
at home. Homage to his name can
best be rendered by carrying forward
the torch of liberty which has fallen,
too soon, from his hand. The night
is dark throughout the world. All
the more imperative is it then that
the sacred flame shall be preserved in

Indorses Move to Repeal
Income Tax Amendment.

Sanctity of property rights Is of key
stone Importance in the arch Of democ-
racy. The outrageous robbery Of Jews
noY being perpetrated by the German
government is condemned by honest
men everywhere, for governments have
no moral right to take wealth from its
citizens without rendering equivalent
service or value in return. However, rob-
berry Of the more prosperous Americans
by our Federal income tax is quite as
wrong as is the robbery of Jews in Ger
many by Hitler.
Former Representative T. w. Phillips
of Butler, Pa, has started a movement
for abolition of the income tax by repeal
of the 10th amendment, which gave it
birth. Mr.. Phillips should receive sup
port from every American who is op-
posed to injustice and who wants honest
government. As was so we'll stated by
Henry George, UNLESS its foundations be
laid in justice the social structure can
not stand"

These situations, however, together
with the fact that the schools have
