Senate Refuses TO
Draft Wealth by
Conscription Bill
Amendment Voted Down
Amid Bitter Debate on
Preparedness Measure

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21
(UP)-The senate refused
today to consider an amend
ment to the conscription bill
to draft wealth as we'll as
men.
The amendment, offered by Sen.
Josh Lee, D., Okla, was thrown
out on point of order by Sen.
Allen j. Ellender, D., La, who con-
tended that it was designed to
raise revenue and therefore should
originate in the house.
The point was sustained by vote
of 54 to 23
In an angry dispute before the
vote, Sen. Bennett Champ Clark,
D., Mo-, accused the senate of being
ready to vote to conscript the
blood and Drawn" of the country's
youth, but to "let the wealth OF
the country go scot free.
THE senate may dodge this to-
day." he shouted, but there will be
bill (the excess profits tax meas
ure) over here from the house soon
and senators who dodge today will
be put on record then
Clarks statement angered Demo-
cratic Leader Alben w. Barkley,
who said all senators ought to real
ize that revenue legislation consti-
tutionally must originate in the
house and that Lees amendment,
which would empower the govern
ment to draft dollars in wartime
according to the ability to pay, was
clearly a revenue raising proposal
Republican Leader Charles l.. Nc
Nary agreed with Bafkley. Lee ar
gued that if congress is going to
conscript men, it would be "only
fair" to conScript wealth too.

Utility,
Rate
Waited
Tentative $I.96
Fioure Mentioned
BY Supervisors

Imperial county's tax rate
this year will drop three
cents under last years rate
if the public utility valua-
tions do not upset present
calculations.
Barring unexpected upsets the
rate this year will be $196 as COM
pared to the 1939-40 rate of $l.99.
Public utility assessment rolls
were expected to arrive at the Of
flee of the board of supervisors late
Wednesday or early Thursday. The
state board of equalization sets the
valuation of the public utilities in
the county and that valuation is
added to the valuations determined
by the county. The rate is based on
the total thus derived.
A tentative figure for public util-
ity valuations, as released this sum-
mer, was $5.346,370 or about $780,
900 more than the 1939-4O valua-
tions. If the state board has not
changed the figure, the supervisors
said, they will be able to adopt
their tentative budget and set the
rate at $1.96. 4-'''.. .~>--ss.-- 49,. .'.''
1t will cost $l,2O9,844, it is esti-
mated, to run the county's business
during the 1940-4l period.
No one appeared to complain
about the budget on the date set
for public hearing for that pur-
pose. The public hearing was Mon
day.
The total assessed valuation Of
Imperial county will be approxi-
mately $46,175,677 if the public
utility assessment shows little
change from the tentative figure.

there was little chance that phys

The latest bulletin from the Green

TrotSky's mystery man assailant
lay in the same hospital, having
been severely wounded by Harold
Robbins, head guard at the fortified
Trotsky villa in the Coyoacan sub
urb where the attack was made.
The aSSailant, trusted friend
who had been given the freedom
OF the villa, was known as Frank
Jackson, an American, and was
said to have an American wife. But
he told Gen. Manuel Nunez, police
chief, at the hospital, that he was

Mason Says Hitler
Losing Prestige
By BIifz Failure
Russia Says Germany
Getting Nowhere with
Attacks on Britain
by J. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert

The Russian government,
which has shown a consist
emily realistic capacity for
judgement during the pres
ent war, allows it's news
papers to declare that Germany is
getting nowhere is attacking Brit
ain from the air. That frank com
ment will be unpalatable to Hitler but
will be an additional spur, If any
be needed, to more intensive Ger
man activity.
The present problem in Europe
thus is how Hitler will try to strike
afresh to save his prestige, which
the Russian criticism indicates is
beginning to wane on the continent.
He has declared total blockade" of
Great Britain, but that is an empty
gesture which is not getting him
anywhere. He must engage in some
more conspicuous form of action.
An attempt at invasion seems a
fading Nazi dream unless Hitler has
lost all self-control
Renewal of the air attacks on
Britain with largely augmented
squadrons may come; but by this
time the German high command
must be aware of the highly Spec
ulative character of an air blitz-
krieg. The halt in intensification
is significant of the exhausting ma
ture of blitzkriegs when the defense
is as powerful as British aviators
have made it.
Germ US military blitzkrieg
through Belgium and northern
France had reached temporary ex-
haustion when the Belgian army
surrendered, preventing the Ger
mans from quickly following thru
to cut off the British from the Dun

seems apparent that continuous
blitzkrieging is impossible.
