WltIllIl Illd UJSI VI IIllIluUSS
after the first seven had stepped
to freedom the diving bell was
sealed and once more dropped
over the side.
Naval officers said the reason
for bringing up an officer in the
first load-in contradistinction to
an old rule of the sea that off,
GERS saved themselves after the
enlisted men were safe-was so
that he could help direct those
still left aboard the SqualuS.
Those at the rescue scene aban-
doned hope even before the second
descent of the rescue bell that all
could be saved The Falcon re-
ported there would be about 80 cas-
ualtieS.
twenty-five to 60" said mes
sage after the first seven were saved.
Three of these were officers.
On this basis, however, those at
the scene figured the casualty list
might mount as high as 81, mas
much as 50 were aboard when the
Squalus was disabled,
Diver on Squalus at 9:22.
An hour or possibly two is required
to lower the rescue bel, attach it to
the crippled Squalus and then raise
1t into the free air once more.
Nearly an hour and a half elapsed
between the time diver first reach
ed the deck of the sunken sub
marine at 9:22 o'clock this morn
ing, and the actual lowering of the
huge bell from the deck of the
Falcon.
No one knew for sure what tale
the first men to be saved could tell,
but one high authority on the
surface already had expressed fear
that 26 of the SO men aboard the
sunken craft already were dead.
Soon after the bell was lowered
divers started going down, two at
time, from the deck of the Fal-
con. Those who watched their life
lines reported it required about seven
minutes for the 240-foot descent.
Only one man was inside the
rescue chamber as it was lowered,
thereby making it possible to bring
full load of rescued to the sur
face.
Frank Hobson, civilian expert of
the Navy Department and coin
ventor with Comdr. G. B. Momsen of
the rescue lung" explained here to-
day that the rescue bell is at atmos-
pheric pressure when in use, and
for that reason it is not necessary
to transfer the rescued men to a
decomposition chamber when the
bell reaches the surface. The sub

President Arranges
Two Conferences
On Tax Situation
Harrison and Byrnes
Invited to Luncheon;
Cooper Is Called
3, the Associated Press

B, the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt today sched-
uled two conferences which gave
him an opportunity to resurvey the
complex tax situation and the posi-
bility of revising corporate levies.
He called in Representative Coop
er, Democrat, of Tennessee, chair
man of the House Ways and Means
Tax Subcommittee and then invited
Chairman Harrison of the Senate
Finance Committee to lunch with
him. Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of
South Carolina also was to be a
luncheon guest.
The. conferences coincided with
reports that senatorial foes of the
undistributed profits tax were ready
to demand its complete repeal.
Senator Harrison was said to have
decided that only elimin vion of the
tax would encourage business
There had been reports of plans for
a compromise agreement whereby
the rate would be cut from 2la to
Ia per cent.
MOrgenthau to Be Invited.
The Ways and Means Committee
has indicated it soon would invite
Secretary Morgenthau to lay before
1t the results of any tax studies the
Treasury has made or any recon-
mendations he might care to offer.
In his address Monday before the
American Retail Federation, Presi-
dent Roosevelt said he was willing
to have the undistributed profits
tax repealed If equivalent revenue
were raised from the larger corpora
tions and if there were no return
to tax-evasion loopholes.
Senator Harrison was represented
as believing the Presidents two con-
ditions could be met satisfactorily.
Bryd Criticizes Policy.
Mr.. Roosevelts tax statement
shared attention on Capitol Hill
with his assertion that a reasonable
internal debt would not impoverish
the Nation.
Senator Bryd, Democrat. of Vir-
ginia, leader of the so-called Sem
ate economy bloc" criticized the
Presidents policy on debt.
When examined. its utter fall
laciousness is quickly apparent"
Senator Bryd said, adding that "to
make debt popular is a dangerous
doctrine to preach"
Some well-informed Senators re-
ported that Vice President Garner
had been sharply critical of tee
Chief Executives remarks on the
national debt.
The House passed yesterday and
sent to the Senate bill removing
the existing $50 1000 900 900 limitation
on the amount of Government bonds
that may be outstanding at any
TIM The bill does not alter the
$4,000 900 900 limit on the public
debt. 1t merely authorizes the Treas
ury to convert some of its short-
term securities into long-term bonds
At his press conference late yes
terday, Mr.. Roosevelt expanded q
statement in his speech to the re-
tailers that Government spending
for permanent functions had been
less under his administration than
under his predecessor.
He said he could not cite figures,
but that in the performance of some
activities the Government was

Mexican Flyer Seeking
New York FIiqht Record
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, May 24-Fran-
cisco Sarabia, MeXico's ace civilian
pilot, took off from Mexico City to-
day on a nonstop flight to New
York which he hoped would break
the existing record by five hours.
Flying loW-winged, 1,00O-horse-
power monoplane, Sarabia expected
to reach New York nine hours after
his takeoff at $50 am, Eastern
Standard time. The established
Mexico City-New York record, set
by Amelia Earhart in 1885, is IA
hours 19 minutes.
The aviator's flight plan would
take him over the Gulf of Mexico
to New Orleans, thence near Atlanta
and Washington to Floyd Bennett
Field.
A great crowd at the airport
shouted Viva Sarabia" as the
cream -colored, red winged plane
roared away.

Washington Airport officials said
Sarabia probably would be in the
vicinity of the Capital about 2:45
pm. 1t was said 1,000-horsepower
plane could easily make the trip
from Washington to New York in
slightly over an hour and that the
original flight plan would put Mr..
Sarabia in New York about 4 OF clock.

it gave it's neral support to a move
ment intended to crush the efforts
of Government workers to protect
their health through Group Health
Association.
People began to ask the Chest
crusaders how in the name of
