Roosevelt T REVIEWS HIS
PLEAS FOR SPEEDUP IN
CONGRESSIONAL ACTION
President Decline
Comment, However,
on House Vote to De-
lay Draft for Sixty.
Day Period of Volun-
tcer Recruiting.

Washington, Sept. 6.-(AP)-Pres-
idert Roosevelt renewed today his
plea for speedy Congressional action
on CONSUMPTION and the defense tax
and appropriations bills, but dcclin-
ed to comment on the House vote to
delay actual drafting of men for q
60-day period of volunteer recruit
ing.
Asked at a press conference to
comment on the House action, subject
to another vote before the bill !! fl
nally acted upon, the Chief EXccu-
tive said he could not comment on
any of the three major bills pending
except to say tcmpus fugit (time
flies).
The excess profits tax bill now is
pending before the Senate finance
committee. The $780, 100000 cmcr-
gency defense appropriation bill
awaits final Senate action before 60
ing to the White House.
Mr.. Roosevelt added that the
quicker the three bills go through
the quicker the government will step
up the national defense program.
Rudely jolted by their temporary
failure to block postponement OF
the draft, House CONSUMPTION leaders
rallied their surprised forces today
to stave off moves for the modifica-
ton of the Burke WadsWorth con-
Scription bill.
The unexpected reversal occurred
late yesterday when the House vot-
ed 1876 to 155 to defer the Inaugural
ton of CONSUMPTION for 60 days while
an effort was made to obtain 4OO,OOC
recruits for the Army for onc-year
voluntary enlistments.
Despite this setback, those in the
CONSUMPTION ranks insisted that the
Burke-WadSworth bill was in nc
danger of eventual defeat, and OPP
ponents of the measure did not dis
pute them. Moreover, indications
were that CONSUMPTION leaders might
seek TO reverse yesterdays action.

Mihai Takes

Carol Flees Into Exile

(By The Associated Press


King Carol II of Rumania abdicat-
ed in favor of his l8-year old son,
Mlha, today and fled into exile as
wildly celebrating crowds swept
through the streets of Bucharest and
gangs of Iron Guardsts roved the
city beating Jewish shopkeepcrS.
The new King Mihai V-who rul-
ed the turbulent little Balkan king
dom from 1927 to 1880 as the world
famed hoy king'-took the oath of
sovereignty in front of microNlone
at 7:30 Il. m.
His fathers abdication came at
a. m, climaxing a night of stormy
riots, shootings and death as the
populace, clamored for Carol to sur
render the throne and his stern new
premier, General Ion Antonescu, in
sisted he yield.
To the handsome new king, Cen
eral Antcnescu pledged his fealty and
at the conclusion of the oath-taking
ceremony, while disorder still ragged
in the capital, he shook hands with
the new monarch and said grimly:
"Sire, a prayer to God to help your
majesty and me-"
The 46-year old ex-king, toppled
from his throne by popular indigna-
ton over the ceSsion of great areas
of Rumanian territory to Russia and
Hungary, was expected to join
Madame Magda Lupescu, his red
haired Jewish friend, in exile.
Madame Lupescu, for whom Carol
renowned his throne in 1925, was
reported waiting for him aboard a
royal yacht at the Black sea port Of
ConStanta.
Amid this swift moving drama in
the Balkans, London's eight million
residents underwent a series of air
raid alarms-one lasting seven hours
and 33 minutes, the longest Of the
War-and the royal air force fought
desperately TO smash great waves OF
German raiders.
Berlin's four million were driven
into underground shelters for the
third successive morning, but au-
thoritative quarters said British
suuadrOns which touched off the
alarm were turned back by anti-air-
craft dcfcnscs before penetrating the
city's defcnses.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.--(AP)-The
Senate finance committee was re-
ported reliably today to have voted
to restrict the application of the
pending excess profits tax to earn
ingS above those defined as "nor-
NAL"
At the same time, it was said to
have agreed upon an increase of 3
or 4 percent in the normal income
tax rate to make up for revenue that
would be lost by striking from the
bill as it passed the House Al per-
cent penalty" tax on corporations
using average earnings in four
year period as a base for computing
normal income.
Informed persons said the COM
mittee also eliminated 5 per cent
differcntial which the House had APP
piled to the average earnings COM
putation as compared with talcula-
tons based on a percentage Of in
vested capital.
AS result, the excess profits tax
under either method of computa-
ton would range from 20 to as per-
cent. AS the House passed the bill
the scale would have been from 25
to so percent on the excess above
average earnings in the 1936-194C
base period.
The committee met behind closed
doors and no official statement on
its action was forthcoming from
Chairman Harrison, Democrat, Mis-

Several members predicted, how
ever, that the committee would fail
in its attempt to finish work on the
measure this weekend.
