j. ). Ordnance Held
Comparable 10 That
Paraded by Reich
Weapons Carried on Four
Trucks Believed to
Be Siege Guns
b. the Associated Press.

A leading American ordnance au-
thority said today he believed the
United States and other armies had
guns comparable in type, size and
effectiveness to those paraded be-
fore Chancellor Hitler in Berlin.
Belief was expressed that the
weapons SO large four trucks were
required to transport them were
siege guns rather than aircraft
artillery. The American Army used
huge l0-inch guns in the World
War and still has some of that type.
However, with their ammunition
and equipment, many standard type
3-inch anti-aircraft guns require
four trucks.
Experts said such inscriptions as
"55 atmospheres" referred to the
pressure in the recoil mechanism.
An atmosphere is just short of Is
pounds per square inch. The; United
States Army similarly records pres
sures, but in pounds and inches.
The largest definitely known Ger
man anti-aircraft artillery is of
80 millimeter caliber Slightly more
than 3 inches, though there may be
some guns of about los millimeters.
The German 88-millimeter weapon
was employed in Spain.
With funds voted last year, the
United States Army is fast increas-
ing its supply of mobile 3-inch air
defense guns to more than 400. For
fixed defenses such as the Panama
Canal, the Army is understood to
have some 5-inch anti-aircraft guns
such as those mounted on warships.

which Col. Lindbergh has been a

Nations only organization devoted

Senate Support Expected.
The meeting, though scheduled
weeks ago, is regarded as exception
ally important because of the action
OF the Senate Monday in restoring
to pending appropriations legislation
a 81 0O0,0 item for creation of q
second basic research laboratory at
Sunnyvale, Calf. The item pre-
viously had been eliminated by the
House and by the Senate hppropria-
tions Committee.
Todays meeting is expected to
provide support for the Senate con-
ferees in their efforts to win the
House conference members to the
Sunnyvale appropriation. Informa-
ton obtained by Col. Lindbergh
during his studies of aeronautical
research in Europe. especially in
Germany, is expected to have a ma
terial bearing on the arguments to
be employed in support of the a.

For COOPERATIVE Action

A State Department oficial said
today that Premier Mussolini's speech
concerning President Roosevelt's
peace proposals, while disappointing,
might still leave some room for CO.
operative action.
Should the President wish to pur-
sue his suggestions for a guaranteed
peace and settlement of difnculties
by the conference method, this on
cial said, he might f1nd basis in the
fact there were some indications OF
peaceful intentions in the Italian
Premier's response.
1t was specifically noted that Mus
solini did not altogether reject the
idea Of conferences, although he did
minimize the value Of a large con-
ference.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not have in
mind world conferences in each of
the three possible subjects, dis
armament, economic and political,
officials have said. The largest would
be on economic matters: the disarma-
ment meeting would be limited to
nations having large ornaments,
and the political conference would
be confined to European nations
directly interested.
The political conference presum-
ably would take into consideration

rors of geography"

Referring both to Roosevelt's mes
sage and to the press reaction which
it inspired in many countries, II
Duce said:
I'VE do not allow ourselves to be
impressed by newspaper campaigns,
or convivial vociferations, or by
MeSSiah-like messages, because we
have a tranquil mind and both the
men and means of defending the
peace of all. along with our own"
He said 1t was time to silence
the mongers Of panic. the anticipa-
tors Of catastrophes. the professional
fatalists, who often conceal with a
great banner their fear. and their
insensate hatred of their defense of
more or less inadmissible interests"
Axis Strikes Back.
Mussolini addressed the forum as
the Rome-Berlin axis struck back
at the "encirclement" bloc of Brit
ain and France with campaign to
win new allies.
After two days of official CONVEX
sations. Hungary was numbered by
Italians among satellites of the axis.
Poland, which has received pledges
Of aid from Britain and France in
any future crisis involving its inde-
pendence, figured in the conversa-
tionS.
The Hungarian diplomats, Pre-
mier Count Paul Teleky and For
eign Minister Count Stephen Csaky,
central figures in the negotiations
which were reported to have in
volved Hungary's territorial aspira-
tions, prepared to leave for Berlin
tonight to carry on their talks.
Italian consultations with Yugo-
slavia were to start Saturday, when.
foreign diplomats expected. an at
tempt would be made to arrange a
non-aggression pact between Hun

Hungarians See Polish Envoy.
The Hungarians, after receiving
the German Ambassador yesterday
and talking with Premier Mussolini
and Foreign Minister Count Ciano
for two hours, held a conversation
with the Polish Ambassador at the
Hungarian Legation.
Considerable Importance was at
tached here to the latter meeting
because of an exchange of mutual
aid pledges between Poland and
France and Britain.
Count Ciano arranged to fly to
Venice Saturday for a two-day
meeting with the Yugoslav Foreign
Minister, Cincar r.Markovicn.

ANdredge and Lee
Nominations Are
Reported 10 Senate
Poll on Benson Said
To Have Revealed
Strong Opposition

The Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee today reported unani-
mously to the Senate the nominal
tions of j. Haden Alldredge of Ala
bama and William E. Lee of Idaho
to be members of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Mr.. ALL
dredge was named to succeed Frank
McManamy, while Mr.. Lee was re-
appointed.
The two nominations had been
held up in committee for some time
along with that of Thomas r. Amlie,
former Representative from Wis
consin. Mr.. Amlie's nomination was
withdrawn at his request by Presi-
dent Roosevelt after it had become
apparent the Senate would vote
overwhelmingly against his NOM
ination.
Members Of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee said today a
poll of sentiment regarding former
Gov. Elmer A. Benson of Minnesota
had been taken in the Senate, with
the idea that Mr.. Benson might
be appointed to the vacancy to
which Mr.. Amlie had been named.
The poll, it was said, showed very
strong opposition to Mr.. Benson, a
Farmer-Laborite, defeated for re-
election as Governor by Harold E.
Stassen, Republican, last November.
During that campaign Mr.. Benson
was charged with being a Red
and in sympathy with the Com
munists.
Mr.. Benson's appointment is not
expected by members of the Senate
committee. The belief is growing
that the President will appoint a
railroad man. to take the place of

not reappoint when his term ex-

It Is therefore time to reduce to

SOFIA, Bulgaria, April 20.-
Bulgaria has notified Rumania of
claims to territory, 1t was reported
in government circles today after
q meeting Of the Parliamentary
Foreign Affairs Committee which
was addressed by Premier M. G.
Kiosseivanon.
It was understood that Bulgaria
wanted a small fraction of Dobruja,
Black Sea region which Bulgaria
lost in the Balkan and World Wars.
It was reported reliably that Bull
garian foreign policy was further
clarified by:
A statement that Bulgaria has
made no new agreements with any
state; assurance that no important
commitments to other countries
would be made without parliament
tary consent; a declaration that
King Boris did not contemplate
acting under constitutional author
ity to make a secret treaty.
The Premier and the committee
men emphasized a wish for peace
and reluctance to enter agreements
which would stand in the way Of
peaceful evolutionary realization
Of the country's aspirations"

Do Not Intend
To Attack Aany One.
II in spite of the storm clouds
which pile up on the horizon we
have dared to work, and are con-
tinuing to work with alacrity, this
should be considered q promising
indication that we do not intend
to attack any one and that we
want instead to continue or work.
It is therefore absolutely unjust
and unjustiflable from any point of
view to attempt to place nations
of the axis on the seat of the ac-
cused.
No less absurd is the proposal Of
reciprocal guarantees lasting 10
years which do not take into account
the pyramidal errors of geography
into which individuals have fallen
who have not even the most rudi-
mentary knowledge Of European af-
fairs.
AS for the proposed expansive
conference in which the United
States would limit itself effectively
to its customary role of distant
spectator, experience gives us some
bitter lessons on this score; namely
that the greater the number of con-
ferees the more certainty there is Of
failure.
Whether or not any reply is sent
to the well-known message I can
not pass up this occasion to re-
affirm that the policy of Rome and

WASHINGTON. - VIII e t h e r
there will be a revision of the
tax laws to eliminate levies
which are hampering business
expansion seems somewhat more
doubtful now than it did a short
time ago.
The reason for this doubt is
the refusal of the President to
give his Endorsement to the tax
revision program prepared by the
Secretary of the Treasury and his
staff, working in cooperation with
the chairmen of the COMPRESSION
al committees having to do with
tax matters.
There is a strong inclination on
the part of Congressional leaders
to 60 ahead with a tax revision
program regardless of whether
the President approves or disap-
proves. Secretary Morgenthau
may present his program to Con-
greSS without President lndorSe-
ment.
The President has not said that
he will not approve a tax revi-
sion bill if passed, but he has let
it be known that he will not let
any program which would reduce
or repeal existing taxes be put
forward as an Administration
measure.
Washington observers are some
what puzzled by Mr.. Roosevelt's
attitude. Early in the year the
announced policy of the Admins
tration was "appeasement" of
business
