Maryland Clio Aide Asks
Senate Poll Tax Vote
By the Associated Press

b. the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 21-Sidney R.
Katz, secretary treasurer Of the
Maryland District Industrial Union
Council, CLIO, announced today that
he had written Senator Radcliffe,
Democrat, of Maryland, asking him
to do everything possible to bring
the anti-pon tax bill to a vote in
the Senate.
Katz declared that the majority
of the Senate should not submit to
the "willful mischief of a minority
and the f1libuster.
He said "the senior and junior
Senators of Maryland have in re-
cent weeks made clear that they
intend to vote against the elm
ination of the poll tax on the
ground that such elimination by
the United States Congress would
constitute an unwarranted interior
ence in the rights of the sovereign

ALLEGATION Formula.
To determine how much Of the
$500, 900, 1000 would be allocated an
nually to each State, and the Dis
trict is included in the definition OF
a State, the bill provides formula
based on the number of children
between the ages of 5 and II, and
the ratio which the personal net
income Of the inhabitants of the
State bears to the total net income
Of the Nation.
Under this plan, the less income
the people of a State earn in re-
lationship to the number of chill
dren, the more Federal aid that
State would receive.
Federal aid would be available
for expenses of public elementary
and secondary schools, but not more
than 20 per cent could be used for
buildings and equipment, and not
more than per cent for admins
trative expenses of a State depart
ment of education.

O4Ay t1llCos
Slow to Change Rules.
Senator Peppers proposal to al
low majority to close debate would
have to 60 through the Rules Com
mittee before being taken up on the
floor and undoubtedly will encoun-
ter strong opposition. The Senate
always has been slow to change
its basic rules of procedure, as was
shown by the experience of former
Vice President Charles Dawes. Mr..
Dawes became the Senate's presid-
ing officer in 1925 as a champion
of rule revision, but when he fin
ished his term the rules were much
as he had found them.
Senator Pepper said he also would
propose that the present two-thirds
cloture rule be amended to cover de-
bate on q point Of order as well as
on q bill. In the recent poll tax
f1libuster the Southern Democrats
could have prevented tomorrow's
vote on cloture by continuing to de-
bate point of order, but agreed to
drop the fight when they apparently
were convinced they had sufficient
votes to defeat cloture.
A decision probably will be reached
tomorrow by supporters of the Fed
eral-aid education bill whether to
make an effort to call it up at this
session. Reliable sources predicted
last night 1t would pass the Senate
If it came to a vote.
Similar Bill In House.
In the House, however, similar
bill is still in committee, and even
If the Senate passed on the issue, it
Is doubtful whether the legislation
could be enacted before January 3.
In opposing the measure yester-
day, Senator Byrd said: This is no
time to spend $500 600, 900 to give
assistance to the States, when the
Federal Government is paying the
full cost Of the war, while some
States are paying off their indebt-
edness."
Although the bill stipulates that
the Federal grants shall not en-
power any Federal official to ex-
ercise control or supervision over
schools in the States, Senator Byrd
expressed fear that the extension of
financial aid would pave the way for
Federal control He cited the Fed
eral-aid highway system as an ex-
ample, where the type Of highway
building is supervised.
Senator Byrd said the national
debt Is approaching the 100000
000, 900 mark and predicted it would
be 5000, 900, 00O, 900 at the end of the
war, even if it not long conflict.
Thomas Counters.
Senator Thomas countered with
the statement that 1T is not a mat
ter Of money" because the Gov
eminent is spending more now to
educate youth than this bill carries.
He pointed to the number of young
men being sent to schools and COL
leges for preparatory training by
the armed forces.
Senator Pepper met the economy
argument by declaring 'the Treas
ury cannot afford not to have the
money, because the obligation to
educate the people is one of the
most important obligations we have"
In reporting out the bill, the Sen
ate Education Committee took the
position that Federal aid for edu-
cation is directly related to the war
effort" The report also predicted
that in another year public schools
"are likely to face financial crisis

Byrd to Oppose Thomas
On $500, 000, 900 Measure;
Poll Tax Test Tomorrow
By ]. A. O'LEARY.

The Senate may head into an
other controversy this week over
establishment of Federal aid to
the States for education after
disposing Of the poll tax repeal
issue tomorrow.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of Viz
ginia, leading advocate of Govern
ment economy, announced he would
oppose any effort to pass a pending
bill that would allocate 100000, 900
year to the States for school
purposes.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Utah, co-author Of the Federal aid
bill, and chairman Of the Education
and Labor Committee, does not be-
lieve the cost should deter Congress
from passing the measure, but he
was undecided last night how far
he would go in pressing for action
In the closing days of this Congress.
The Utah Senator said he would
confer first with Majority Leader
Barley, indicating he wanted to
ind out If there is q chance of
obtaining action before raising the
Issue. Senator Pepper, Democrat.
Of Florida, a strong advocate Of the
Education bill, was more outspoken
In urging its passage now.
Poll Tax Cloture Vote.

pens, realizing that without cloture
the debate could go on until this
Congress expires January 3. At the
end of a Congress all bills die auto.
matically and must start over agair
In committees.
In the wake Of the poll tax fight
Senator Pepper announced yester-
day he plans to start a drive to
abolish filibustering by changing
Senate rules that make possible un-
limited debate. He will propose that
a majority of the Senate be suf1-
Gent to bring any bill, motion OF
point Of order to a vote after not
less than 10 days of debate.

Broad legislation granting Presi-
dent Roosevelt new wartime powers
to suspend immigration and tariff
regulations was approved yesterday
by House Ways and Means Sub
committee, but with q restriction to
meet complaints that the bill might
break down immigration controls.
The redrafted measure approved
unanimously by the subcommittee
contained, in large measure, the
general authority which President
Roosevelt recently requested to
speed the war effort. There have
been protests on Capitol Hill that
the tariff and immigration authority
granted the President would be too
broad.
In general, the new measure
would give the President the right
to waive statutory restrictions
against the entry or egress of per-
sons, property or information, pro-
vided he found such action neces-
sary to the war effort.
