BY the Associated Press.
A bill to bring inland and coastal
water carriers under Federal regu-
lation similar to that now covering
motor and rail transportation won
final Senate approval yesterday by
a vote Of SO to Is, ending a legisla-
tive controversy of nearly two years
duration.
President Roosevelt's approval of
the measure was regarded in Sem
ate circles as likely to follow soon.
The bill had its origin in the recon-
mendationS of special committee
of employers and employees appoint
ed by Mr. Roosevelt in 1888 to make
recommendations for remedying the
railroads financial situation.
Passed by both houses last year,
the bill was sent to a, Joint COM
mittee in an effort TO work out
compromise between House and
Senate versions.
In its final form the bill would

Profits Tax Revision
Splits Committee;
Recess Ordered
Legal Experts Stort
Drafting Changes;
Vote Wednesday
Hv the Associated Press.

Ev the Associated Press.
Legislative experts took over today
the complex task of putting into
exact language the sweeping revi-
sions of the House-approved excess
profits tax bill ordered by the Sem
ate Finance Committee.
The committee itself, having
passed on the major controversies
arising from the measure, took a
recess until Wednesday, at which
time it will probably vote on the
draft to be submitted to the Senate.
Result Splits Members.
Members disagreed as to the result
OF their weeks effort.
The worst hodge-podge that ever
was drafted" was the verdict of
Senator Clarke, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,. Nobody knows what's in it."
Chairman Harrison, however,
called the revised measure a great
improvement" over the House bill.
Majority Leader Barkley said he
thought that ION the whole it's an
improvement" and forecast Senate
passage by the end of this week.
Before receSSing yesterday the
committee voted to increase from
$4,000 to $4,000 the amount in ex-
cess of normal profits which
corporation would be permitted to
earn before becoming subject to the
bills 25 to so per cent levy on ex-
cess profits.
Members estimated that more
than 10000 corporations would
thereby be relieved Of any excess
profits tax.
The group reconsidered an earlier
action and eliminated a special 10
per cent tax "differential" which 1t
had voted to impose on excess prof
its arising from strictly defense
contracts.
At the request of the Maritime
Commission the committee voted
to suspend an existing 10 per cent
profit limitation on Government
ship orders insofar as subcon-
tractors are concerned Profits of
principal contractors are dealt with
in a separate provision of the House
bill.

Paris Dress Shops Hum,
Prepare for Strange Show

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, Sept. 7 tvia Berlin, de-
layeO O.-Workrooms of Paris dress
makers are humming again in prep
aration for one of the strangest
seasons in the whole experience Of
French couture.
Instead Of presenting their winter
collections in early August to packed
ranks of foreign buyers, the dress
makers are getting them ready to
show in September to a private
clientele only.
Who will make up this clientele,
however. they themselves do not
know. Many private customers now
are in the free zone, especially along
the Riviera, and crossing to the
occupied zone is difiicult.
Another popularity Of the coming
season is the drastic reduction in
the number of models to be shown
Instead of 100 to 200 styles, only 30
to 40 will be shown this year. The
new mode will be characterized by
greater simplicity even than last
years, designers generally have
agreed.
Few If any formal evening dresses
will be included.

B ATTORNEY PLEADS FOR GREATER DEMOCRACY IN ARKANSAS
Pine Bluff Attorney
Pleads for a Greater
Democracy in Ark.
By FRANCES SAMPSON

LAKEVIEW, Ark. - "There is a
blackout of democracy in Arkansas,
declared w. Harold Flowers, fighting
Pine Bluff lawyer and secretary of
the Committee on Negro Organiza-
tion, in delivering the keynote ad-
dress at the opening session of the
three day Conference on Negro Or
ganization" held in the auditorium of
the Lakeview Junior High school.
eve meet here to devise a program
of action that half million Negro
citizens in Arkansas might be united
behind a program of definite aims
and objectives, supporting militant
leadership pledged to prosecute those
aims and objectives," Flowers stated.
"We urge continued support of tho
program of the CNO that Negro col
lege graduates in Arkansas might
have graduate and professional edu-
cational opportunities and facilities;
that legislation might be enacted to
provide for the establishment of a
training school for Negro girls; that
Negroes might enjoy the privilege Of
voting in all elections; that longer
school terms might be available to
Negro students; that equal salaries
be paid to Negro school teachers;
that hospital service might be avail
able to the Negro residents in COM
munities where public funds are be-
ing used to establish and maintain
hospitals; that Negroes might be re-
lieved of social, political, and economic
injustices."
Arkansas has. eiecnd q Msw- -yUvs'
ernor, and much rumor is in the air
that a change is expected at the A.
M. and N. college in the office Of
presidency" Flowers continued, "but
the Negroes in Arkansas are unor-
ganized and must continue to tolerate
a head Ct State institution, who told
a legislative committee that Negroes
in Arkansas did not need a medical
school,"
"An invitation was extended to the
president of the A. M and N. college
to participate along with two other
college presidents in panel discus
sion on "Equalizing Educational Op-
portunities in Arkansas for Negroes"
but DR.. Watson has not shown the
CNO the courtesy Of a reply"
1--WE declare that 1t is time for q
change in the office at the State
school when the president advises a
legislative committee that Negro cit
liens do not need a medical school,"
NEGRO school teachers are buying
jobs in Arkansas and jaying to keep
them, and in spite Of the known facts,
we do not see any change in the pro-
gram of the Arkansas State Teachers
Association"
1.-THE annual meeting Of the Negro
teachers in Arkansas is more or less
a reunion and dress parade. A FORM
er president Of the association told
me upon ore occasion that "they did
MT want anything radical presented at
the meeting"
