This full House District COMMITTEES
by an 8-to-3 record vote today ap-
proved a bill to amend and clarity
the local income tax law despite a
threat by Representative Schultz,
Democrat, of Indiana to whip" it
on the House floor.
Representative McGehee, Demo-
crat, of Mississippi, also served
notice he would make an early move
to substitute a general sales tax for
the existing income tax. He said he
approved the proposed amendments
to permit an orderly collection OF
the income tax this year, but wanted
a sales tax adopted to replace 1t in
future years.
The bill containing the proposed
amendments to the income tax law
is scheduled to be called up for con-
Sideration in the House next Mon
day, the first District day OF the
month.
The three committee members who
voted against favorably reporting
the measure to the House were Rep
resentatives Schultz, D'Alesandro Of
Maryland and Russell of Texas, all
Democrats. The eight who cast their
ballots in favor of reporting it were
Representative McGehee, Hunter
of Ohio, Harris of Arkansas, Maciora
of Connecticut, Randolph of West
Virginia, all Democrats; Bates OF
Massachusetts and Copeland of Ne
braska, Republicans, and Sauthof,
Progressive, of Wisconsin.
Schultz Opposes Provision.
The principal amendments pro-
posed to the income law would make
the tax applicable to all persons re-
siding here for six months in year
and to that portion of the income
earned here by non-residents. Nom
residents from Maryland and Vir-
ginia and 35 other States which have
income tax laws who work here
would escape the tax, because the
tax rates in those States are higher
than the District rate. The nom
residents, however, would be re-
| quired to file a modified return to
the District, and it was over this
provision that Mr.. Schultz regis
tered his chief objection.
That will involve us in a lot OF
turmoil" he declared. Why not
an affidavit instead of a return to
show whether non-residents paid the
tax in the States? That ought to
satisfy the officials here"
Mr.. Schultz also registered his in
dignation over the SITS real estate
tax rate here as well as what he
described as "exhorbitant" rents. He
pointed out the real estate tax
rate at his home in Hammond, Ind,
is So.
Representative Bates explained
that while the tax rate is low the as
sessments are based on 100 per cent
valuation and are fair"
Its the little fellow who is carry
ing the load here Mr.. Schultz said.
When you start TO tax real estate
to a point where it comes within
gunShot of the rate back in my
home, I will go along with this in
come tax bill.
We've got low-salaried clerks IN
Washington who have to live to-
gether in small apartments to pay
the eXhorbitant rents. Why make
them pay more? I don't know Of

SOFIA, Bulgaria, March s.
Reports filtering into Sofia from
the provinces today said the
entire country was filling up
with German troop units mov-
ing swiftly southwark toward
Greece and southeast toward
Turkey.
The vanguard of these troops al
ready has reached the Greek from
tier-at one point only IS miles from
vital Salonika-and it was under
stood here that Britain probably
would break off diplomatic relations
with Bulgaria by midweek.
Britain and Greece have
threatened to send their war
planes to bomb Germans in Ru-
mania if that country has not
taken some action to remove the
Nazis by Wednesday, it was re-
ported today by the Chicago
Daily News.)
Field Marshal Gen. Sigmund List,
commander in-chief of Germany's
Balkan armies, was reported in Bel
grade today to have installed head
quarters here.
Border Preparations Rushed.
These developments also followed
as both Turkey and Greece were
said to be rushing border prepara-
tions in the face of NaZi forces
massed on Bulgarias frontiers:
Turkey was said to have called up
all naval reservists;
More warplaneS, identified as
British, few over Yugoslavia. ap-

An under-cover Bulgarian Fascist
movement came into the open with
the arrival of the German forces
into that country.
Dispatches from Turkey said the
Turkish general staff had been in
secret session at Ankara throughout
the day and that additional Turkish
troops we're moving out of Istanbul
toward the Bulgarian frontier.

King Boris III was said by a
highly reliable source to have given
British Minister George w. Rendel
no encouragement to remain here
when the two conferred last night.
Previously Mr.. Rendel was said to
have informed the King that the

"No Turning Back"

Senator walsh, on Ine OCneT Hdnu,
asserted that once this step toward
war is taken, "there can be no turn
ing back. The Congress will have
no choice, the people will have no
choice. Such war will not be
Americas war. 1t will be a world
war in which we will join in world
ruin"
In explaining why he believes op-
position to this bill makes it more
likely the war will spread to this
hemisphere, Senator Tunnel de-
clared:
cit is apparent that the gentle
men who are opposed to this bill
prefer to have the war-if one does
occur in which the United States is
directly interested-that it be in the
United States"
Senator Tunnel recalled that in
the last war the German general
staff succeeded in going through
four years of continuous conflict
without permitting the war itself to
reach German soil. All Of the de-
struction, he said, was inflicted on
France and Belgium.
'I cannot envision the Goddess
of Liberty with a Nazi collar" the
Delaware Senator declared. II do
not see America bowed in subjec-
tion to any foreign power. I do
see in the present situation test
of democracy. Hitler, and those
with whom he is surrounded, believe
that democracy is decaying. They
believe that democracy is incapable
of assigning to its agents sufficient

BY J. A. O'LEARY.


Majority Leader Barkley may soon
ask the Senate to limit voluntarily
further speeches on the British-aid
bill, it was indicated today as the
third week of Senate debate began
with Senators Tunnel, Democrat, of
Delaware, and Smathers, Democrat,
of New Jersey, urging passage of the
legislation and Chairman Walsh Of
the Naval Affairs Committee pre-
pared to renew an attack on the
measure.
After conferring with Chairman
George of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, Senator Barkley
announced that every effort would
be made to obtain a vote by Satur-
day.
If opposition objects to limiting
debate, by unanimous consent, the
most likely alternative to speed
action on the measure would be for
night sessions. No serious considera-
ton has been given to cloture by
which Senators would be limited to
one hour of debate.
However, an administration leader,
asking that he not be quoted by
name, said: I'VE are going to give
them the oppoSition) another day
or so, and if they are still talking
we will have to exercise what
pressure we can to prevent a full
fedged filibuster."
Smathers Assails War Talk.
In his speech Senator Smathers
declared that he is tired of the par
rot-like prattle" that war would fol-
low passage of the measure.
When he had finished, Senator
Clark, Democrat, of Missouri, an
opponent, sought to question him.
Senator Smathers replied he did
not want to indulge in a colloQuy
that would delay the bill, but would
be glad to meet the Missourian ''out
in the presSroom, where his ques-
tions could be given publication.
81 don't care to have any private
| conferences with the Senator" Sem
ator Clark retorted, and sat down.
In a speech prepared for delivery
during the afternoon, Senator
Wheeler asserted, 81 look upon this
bill as equivalent to a declaration OF
war" His position previously had
been revealed in radio speeches.
Loan Plan Assailed.
Making his maiden speech, Sena-
tor Tunnel also struck a new note
by making the first direct assault
on the alternative plan of the op-
ponents to lend money to Britain
Senators state they are in favor
of loaning to Great Britain S2,000,-
100000" said the new Senator. LAS
there would, of course, be no ex-
pectation of its repayment, one won-
ders why those of us who vote fol-
leasing or lending of armed
equipment to Great Britain should
be classed as favoring war, anc
those who desire to loan money fol
the purpose of conducting war, are
claiming to be in favor of peace
Certainly Hitler would not look
kindly upon either a gift or a loar
of $4,000, 100000 to Great Britain
for the purchase of war equipment
When we think of the nations that
have been overrun at the command
of Adolf Hitler, when we consider
that those nations have been guilty
of no offense against Germany, we
wonder by what process of reason
ing the conclusion can be reached
that aid to Britain in money woulc
be pardonable, and the leasing OF
lending of our war materials un-
pardonable.''
"No Turning Back"
Senator Walsh, on the other hand
asserted that once this step towarc
