over the Germans in weather
prediction, according TO DR.. Har-
old Ward, weather expert and
professor Of geology and gcog-
raphy ri Northwestern Univer-

The Allies have access 10 in
formation which enables them
TO predict weather with reason
able certainty on the entire in
vasion coast. from Spain TO Nor
way, 10 days in advance. The
Germans cannot hope to predict
accurately more than three days
IN advance. DR.. Ward states.
The advantage. he explained.

The Dies committee today recon-
mended the removal of Dillon S.
Myer. national director of the War
Relocation Authority, and Ray C.
Best, Tule Lake camp director,
because of their evident inability
to cope with the problem of dis
loyal Japanese"
The committee said its recon-
mendation was based on a lengthy
study of the riot which occurred at
the Tule Lake camp in California
in November.
Other recommendation made by
the committee were:
That the Tule Lake center and
the disloyal Japanese segregated
there be placed under the jurisdic-
ton and administrative control Of
the Department of Justice.
That a report be submitted tc
Congress listing the Japanese re.
sponsible for the attack on DR.

NEW YORK, Feb. 49, R -
Wayne Lonergan was disclosed at
his murder trial today to have re-
nounced any claim to his slain
wife's $6,ooo,oOO fortune if their
young SON were placed in custody
of his relatives in Canada.
Declaring the fortune had proven
"unlucky to everyone" connected
with it, the young cafe society fig
ure made the remuneration in a
letter to the surrogate of New York
county.
Lonergan wrote the letter, it was
learned after today's session, upon
reading newspaper stories that he
was gambling his life against a
chance to acquire a one-third dow
er right in the fortune.
An attempt by Defense Counsel
Edward V. Broderick to read the
letter in open court was blocked
by Assistant District Attorney ia
cob Grumet, but General Sessions
Judge John j. Freschi allowed pro-
spective jurors to examine it.

pressure of Soviet air might, Fin.
land appeared moving tonight to-
ward an armistice with Russia,
and this prospect that yet another
ally would desert Hitler was re-
ported to have caused disorders
in satellite Bulgaria.
Bulgaria called more men to
arms, the Cairo radio said, to stem
spreading clashes between police
and partisan bands who were ex-
cited by the prospect of Finnish
Russian re-a pprochement.
Germany, meantime took pre-
cautions to meet Finnish capitula-
ton and a war correspondent of
the German news agency, DNB,
said in Berlin broadcast after a
visit to the Arctic coast that Nazi
troops in Finland and Norway
were ready to meet any emer-
gency-even an Allied landing.
Among the many reports of the
Finnish Russian peace negotia-
tons, still in the unofficial stage,
wss Stockholm dispatch saying
peace with Russia, may return to
Stockholm tomorrow or next day
to continue negotiations.
The Stockholm newspaper Allie
banda said this report was brought
from Helsinli by a plane passen-
ger who said also the Films were
vigorously OPP sed to two of the
six armistice terms reported last
week from London and published
in the Finnish press.
These called for rehabilitation
of the Finnish army and intern
ment of all German military per-
sonnet now in Finland. Stockholm
reported also that the Finnish
press was continuing to prepare
the people for an important event.

The promise of a sinplified sys-

House Ways and Means Commit
tee which conducted what Chair
man Doughton D.N.C) called a
harmonious" session with Con-
gressional and Treasury experts.

Doughton with a hope that bill
can be drawn within two weeks.
The proposed streamlined sys-
tenn will not apply to the impend-
ing March IS returns. 1t is intend
ed for the 1914 tax accounting
The committee is working on
these detectives:
Illuminating the need for 3d.
100000 of the $4,000, 900 income tax
payers having to file any returns
at all. by making the withholding
levy the actual tax for those whose
only income is from wages and
salaries.
Emerging the victory, normal
and surtaxes into one levy, so as
to attain sweeping sinplifications
for persons in high earnings brack-
cts and those with income other
than from wages and salaries.
Doughton's description of the
committee meeting with Congress-
ional and Treasury experts as
harmonious" was considered sig
nificant in view of statement ne
and Rep. Knutson of Minnesota,
Ways and Means republican lead
err, made last week. during the tax
veto fight. They blamed present
complicated system on ''irrespon-
sible theorists" in the Treasury
Department.
The committee discussed with
the experts several alternate ways
of migrating the victory, normal
and surfaces. The experts are un-
der instruction from the commit
tee to present merger plan that
retains, so far as possible, the
present burden of each taxpayer.
Rep. Robertson O.-Va.), said
1T looks like we may be able to
work out tax structure SO simple
and clear that any man of ordinary
intelligence and some education

FDR'S AGENCIES
ARE UNDER FIRE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-tR-A
bill to curb Presidential powers
by putting executive agencies out
of business unless congress spe-
officially grants them funds was
approved unanimously by a Sen
ate appropriations subcommittee
today.
The measure would prevent the
executive branch from transfer
ring any Federal funds to such
agencies after they had been in
existence one year or more.
Its effect would be to cut off
the funds of year-old executive
agencies unless they came to con-
gress and succeeded in getting a
direct appropriation. It would be
effective July ].

sor of the legislation offered as
an amendment to the pending &c.

dents Fair Employment Practices

would be affected.
However, a statement issued at
FEPC said that two months ago
FEPC asked the Bureau of the
Budget to approve its request for
an appropriation understood to
exceed $500, 00O-which would go
before Congress for legislative ac-
ton.
This appropriation would be fer
the fiscal year beginning July 1,
1914. By that time FEPC will nave
used about 100000 in special
funds spread over the
