The revolt in Congress against

convention was Ohio State Audito-,

ton as Senate majority leader
will not split The Democratic par

Virginia Pohill, Price Demo

the tax quarrel would have no
bearing on the election.

HICHLICHTS OF
SENATOR'S TALK

WASHINGTON Feb. %. Up -
Highlights of the speech by Sena-
tor Alben w. Barley criticizing
the Presidential veto of the tax
bill and announcing his resignation
as majority floor leader:
The President says that many
months ago he asked Congress TO
increase taxes by ten and one-half
billion dollars and that - persons
prominent in our national life have
stated in no uncertain terms that
his figure was too low. This refer
ence is obviously to Mr.. Wendell
L. Willkie the up-to-date Haley s
Comet. ---a
l cannot but wonder whether this
spectacular celestial nomad has
frightened the President into the
use of figures quite as fantastic,
though not as large.
In his efforts to justify this veto
message, the PRESIDENT is tIoTceu,
with a searchlight and magnify
ing glass, to find inconsequential
faults.
l not only advised him, but
emplored him not to veto this bill
because 1 did not then believe and
do not now believe that the veto
which he has sent to Congress was
justified.
The President said that having
asked for loaf CT bread he should
be contented with a small piece of
crust. ;. This small piece of crust
is more than the national debt of
