WARSAW, May 2.-Polish news
papers bitterly accused Germany
today of a long standing intrigue
aimed at building a wall to cut Po-
land from the sea.
Newspaper comment also indi-
Gated that Foreign Minister Joseph
Beck, in a speech Friday before the
Sejm Parliament), might cate
gorically reject Germany's demands
for return of Danzig to the Reich
from its present free status. and for
an extraterritorial railway and road
across the Polish Corridor. These
proposals already had been coun-
tered by Polish suggestions which
Adolf Hitler In his Reichstag speech
construed as a rejection.
Polish Demands Expected.
Sources close to the foreign Office
said Col. Beck in his speech would
demand extra guarantees for Polish
rights in DonZig.
Whether he would 60 so far as to
subscribe to demands in the oppo-

people encouraged by the fact that
the established drain on it currently
is at the rate of $1,000 900 900 a year

that the Government is not rich
enough to do everything the citizen
may want done or even assuredly
rich enough to do all the things that
ought to be done. We know, too,
that the pools into which 1t could
dip with large ladle in our recent
past are largely exhausted and that
no more such can be established un-

Measure 10 Curb
Stream Pollution
On Way toHouse
Senute includes District
In lust-Minute
Amendment.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

The Barkley bill, creating a new
division in the Public Health Serv-
ice to encourage elimination Of
stream pollution, is on its way to
the. House today, following Senate
passage yesterday afternoon, with a
last-minute amendment applying
the measure to the District as well
as the States.
In Offering the amendment Ma
jority Leader Barkley Of Kentucky
explained the District had been
omitted through an oversight.
The measure probably will be re-
ferred to the House Rivers and Har-
bors Committee before being taken
up on the floor.
The bill is a voluntary plan of
financial aid to State and local
health authorities in making sur
veys, to be followed by program of
Federal loans and grants to State
agencies or private industries to
carry on corrective projects.
Before passing the bill the Senate
rejected the more drastic Clark sub
stitute, which would have paved the
way for Federal injunction proceed
ings to restrain governing bodies or
industries from contributing to the
pollution of a stream.
Series Of Projects Approved.
While the pending measure now
makes Washington eligible for the
cooperation of the new water con-
troll agency in future years, the
Public Works Administration al
ready has approved a comprehen-
sive series Of loan and grant prof.

ects toward a campaign ordered by
Administrator Ickes to minimize
pollution In the vicinity of the Ma
tional Capital.
In addition to the $4,125,0O0 loan
and grant several years ago for the
Districts new sewage treatment
plant at Blue Plains, p. w. A. has
made other allotments toward a
major Rock Creek diversion sewer,
and to improve conditions in Piney
Branch, Klingle Valley, Good Hope
road district, Macomb street area,
an Oxon Run interceptor, and i'm
provements at the Glendale Sana-
toria.
One Of the most recent was a P.
w. A. grant of SAC, ,397 to the WASH
ington Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion Of Maryland as part of the cost
Of sewer lines, pumping station and
treatment plant in the Bladensburg
section, an important step in clear
Ing up the Anacostia River.
Other allotments have been made
by P. w. A. to Arlington County and
to several Virginia communities as
part of the plan to improve the Po-
tomac area on both sides of the
river.
Still other allotments have been
made to the Navy Yard and other
Government stations for prevention
Of stream pollution.
Preliminary Step.
The Barkley bill would give the
new public health unit 100000 a
year, beginning in July, 1910, for
administrative expenses and $4,000
annually for allotment to State
health authorities for surveys and
studies necessary in bringing about
control of pollution.
The pending measure is a pre-
iminary step, to be followed later
by Budget Bureau authorization
for loans and grants for approved
projects. The total of such projects
is left indefinite for future deter
mination.
Senate debate on the bill centered
on whether the Government should
take legal steps to compel abate-
ment of conditions causing pollu-
ton, or offer financial cooperation
to States and industries, as contem-
plated by the measure which passed.
Under the Barkley bill Federal
grants could cover one third of the
cost Of project.

Ask Tax Policy Change.
Labor Joined with business today
In scoring governmental taxing poll
cies and calling for change at the
convention today.
There is abroad the general be-
lief and conviction that the tax
policy of the Government, coupled
with its apparent attitude toward
industry, is preventing the normal
expansion of industry" Matthew
VOL, a vice president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, told
group session on taxation this aft
ernoOn.
"It is the common belief that
undue and unjust taxes are keeping
millions of idle capital lying in the
banks of the country and in Gov
eminent tax-exempt securities be-
cause capital is afraid to take ex-
cursions into new enterprises or to
assist in the expansion OF old ones"
There should be a complete re-
vision of our tax laws" he continued.
"Taxes provide the greatest single
contribution to the cost Of living to-
day. It makes no difference whether
these taxes are paid in the first in
stance by big business, industry. the
public utilities, the railroads, the
banks or the insurance companies,
1t is the ultimate consumer who pays
them in the end. Whether taxes
can be reduced Immediately or not,
they can, and should be, distributed
more equitably and SO as not to stif1e
business or to tax incentive, which
is the source of new industry and
new employment"

Matt McGrath! Time Catches Up With Grand, Old Irish Athlete of Olym-
 plan Fame.
BY THE OUT EASTER

There are many old time repre- sentativeS of the Irish race in Waterbury, native born, who re- member the days back when the various Hibernian orders held an- nual field day games at the old baseball park in the West End.
 They were gala days for the ones present; running races, ham, mer throwing, tug of war matches, etc.
 We were reminded of those days when we read yesterday of the proposed retirement from ac- tive duty of Matt McGrath, New York police inspector, and noted in his young days as one of the greatest athletes of the country.
 Matt was here in the days of nearly 40 years ago, and took part in the ceremonies incident to the day. He met a number of Water bury people, older than he was at the time, and they have since taken the road that leads all to the end of life.
 Matt McGrath has been known for years as "The Mighty Matt" He was classed as one of the greatest weight throwers of the world. He took part in the Olym- pics in 1908, 1912. 1920 and 1924, setting marks with the shot putt, and the hammer, records that stood for many years.
 Of late years he has been in charge of traffic of Manhattan.
