terrents, has spent several weeks
laying the groundwork for smooth
and swift passage of the bill
through the Senate. Agreements
were said to have been reached
that would prevent an attempt to
obtain general tax revision, and
would preserve it in its House
form so that a minimum of time
would be required for enactment.
Despite the President's recent
statement approving proposals to
broaden the personal income tax
base, it was understood that such
- action would not be countenanced
by the Senate now. Sen. Robert
M. LaFollette (Progressive, Wis-
consin), a persistent proponent
of income tax revision, has .re-
mained silent. Sen. William H.
King (Democrat, Utah) said that
if La Follette doesn’t act, he may
offer an amendment to broaden
the base.
Ben.Arthur H. Vandenberg (Re-
publican, Michigan), a member of
the finance committee, said he
had paid little attention to the
measure because "It doesn’t make
any difference how much you do
with taxes, there won't be any
real recovery while Roosevelt is
in the White House.”
Another anti-New Dealer and
committee member, Sen. Walter
F. George (Democrat, Georgia)
said the House bill was ."the
soundest approach to the solution
of our tax problem that we have
had for several years,” but that
he was sorry the measure had not
- reached the Senate early enough
to permit consideration of individ-
ual income tax revision.

Thus the United States threw
its weight into the Far Eastern
situation despite Japanese efforts
to isolate Great Britain in the
initial stage of its campaign to
exert domination over foreign
areas. *
The American action was not
connected directly with the Jap-
anese blockade of the British and
French concessions- at Tientsin.
This is, at least on the surface,
directed solely against Britain.
However, the firm attitude
which the United States was un-
derstood to have taken in its com-
munications was expected to have
important bearing on the entire
Far East situation. -
The Japanese blockades of Ti-
entsin and Kulangsu were regard-
ed as only the first move in a
considered campaign to obtain
control of all foreign areas in
China.
BRITISH WARSHIP
ARRIVES AT TIENTSIN
TIENTSIN. June 20. — The
British warship Sandwich arrived
today as tension, mounted over the
stringent Japanese blockade of
the British concession, the mount-
ing scarcity and price of food,
and the contemptuous treatment
of Britons -by Japanese troops.
The Sandwich arrived to join
the Lowestoft, already off the
Tientsin bund. Both are escort
merce.
Despite the food shortage, the
chamber managed to get plenti-
ful supplies of green vegetables
and ice cream in the admiral's

The highway bridge, south of
Colorado, went out this morning,
cutting off communication with
Sterling City, on State Highway
101. The highway bridge west of
the city, over which U. S. High-
way. 80 crosses, was closed, but
was not believed in danger.
Ben Smith, manager of the
Hotel Colorado, told the United
Press that he had been watching
the flood from the top floor of his
hotel and had seen "at least 10
houses go down the river." He
said he did not know how many
more there were.
A bill to establish a four-year
curricula at John Tarleton College
in Stephenville and North Texas
Agricultural College in Arlington
was "postponed, indefinitely" by
the House when it came up for
concurrence in minor. Senate
amendments. The postponement
is expected to end for the time .
being the move to expand the
junior colleges.
The House and Senate both
finally passed a deficiency appro-

eliminating $71,726 for a John
Tarleton College building. Also
sent to the governor was a bill to

the platform fled to safety.
Miss Tucker said before she
ran, “I invited you here to eat
and hear my story. Goodnight;
goodnight; goodnight.” She had
provided coffee, sandwiches and
potato salad for the meeting.
On the platform with her were
Harry Richman, Morton Downey,
and Milton Berle, comedian, none
of whom spoke.
The AAAA had charged the
AFA with disobedience, misappro-
priation of funds raised in bene-
fit performances, and improper
organization methods. It has or-
dered a formal hearing of the
charges, brought by an investi-
gating committee, on July 10.
‘Received No Money
Declaring that her "integrity
had been attacked," Miss Tucker
said she had “never received a
penny" for the three years she
had served as AFA president.
“A reading of the charges," she
said, “reveals that the only rea-
son we are being attacked is be-
cause of our success in organiz-
* ing the strongest actors" union
ever organized in the United
States and because the produc-
ing companies, being afraid of our
success, have hit at us in the
dark, having someone else fire
the bullets that they made in an
attempt to ward off organization
sefforts.".
The opposition was led from the
floor by swimmers from Billy
Rose's World's Fair Aquacade,
who said they did not “want to
submit to a union that doesn't do
anything for us.”
Mike Lewis, spokesman for
them, said half of the swimmers
were suffering from ear infections
because of the condition of the
-water and that the union had
done no investigating. When a
swimmer, is unable to perform, he
is “docked, despite the fact it is
an occupational disease,” he said.
- Vallee "Misquoted”
Rudy Vallee, honorary AFA
president, said he had been mis-
quoted in reports yesterday that
• he was not in favor of a vote of
confidence for AFA officials be-
fore the formal hearing. He urged,
because of the trend of the meet-
ing. however, that it be adjourned
without a vote.
Eddie Cantor, president of the
American Federation of Radio
Artists, had said he had resigned
. as an AFA honorary president.
Miss Tucker said she had not re-
ceived the resignation and assert-
ed "he is very unfair to desert us
when we need him so badly.”

Food prices jumped in some
cases as much as 900 per cent.
Vegetables eggs, butter, rice and
milk were especially scarce. •
In the hope of appeasing the
Japanese, the Britisch were de-
porting the anti-Japanese terror-
ists, who have been in refuge in
the concession, to Hong Kong.
The British also formed a radio
committee to 'calm the settlement
population and ease the tension.
Five British youths were stripped
by Japanese sentries and prodded
with sticks by Japanese officers
for the amusement of a Chinese
crowd before the blockaded Brit-
ish concession, British sources
said today. 0
The youths were trying to leave
the British concession on their
way to the country club, it was
asserted, when the Japanese halt-
ed them. -
Fear of a dangerous outbreak
increased as the Japanese temper
mounted.
Japanese authorities asserted
that all negotiations to settle the
incident had been suspended and
that they had received no instruc-
tions which would permit them to
resume talks with British author-
ities.
Anti-British posters were dis-
played at Japanese barriers be-
fore the British concessions, urg-
ing Chinese to leave the conces-
sion area. Previously, Japanese
had permitted Chinese to enter
but made it difficult for them to
leave, in order to intensify the
food shortage.
There was fear of trouble to-
morrow when big Chinese crowds
were due to assemble for the
Dragon Boat Festival.
An even more serious situation
was foreseen for Sunday when,
Japanese sources announced, 3000
armed White (Czarist) Russians
intend to parade through the
British concession. The Russians
have co-operated closely with the
Japanese since the, start of the
war in China. •
The Japanese had announced
that they would electrify 30 miles
of the wire last night.
Today, however, it was dis-
closed that the current had not

that it would be turned on to-

ing the wires they would foil "un-

world by making their way

spots to smuggle food into the

WASHINGTON. June 20.—The
old American custom- of - planting
a tree to commemorate something
or be remembered by,* has been
adopted on a large scale by the
New Deal. ,
More than 500,000,000 trees
have been planted since 1935 by
state, local and federal agencies
under direction of the national ad-
ministration, according to latest
reports by the Department of
Agriculture.
Millions of trees have . been
planted in every state — in many
places where no trees have grown
since the white man came to
America. More than 7000 miles
of “shelter belt” trees break the
landscape of the Great Plains.
More Plantings This Year --
Prompted and aided finincially
by state and federal governments,
individual farmers last, year
planted 55,359,728 trees and will
plant an even greater number this
year. In the five years prior 'to
1935 the average was-under 20,-
000,000 trees.
•The Forest Service has turned
thousands of acres of what a few
years ago was a waste - land of
drifting sand dunes into groves
of green trees stretching from
Texas to the Dakotas. More than
100,000,000 trees were planted in
the "belt.”
The project was undertaken in
1935 with emergency funds. It
has continued despite early ridi-
cule. and, according to the Forest
Set-vice, has been successful far
beyond expectations. Criticism
virtually has ceased.
Six out of every 10 trees plant-
ed in the arid region where no
trees are known to have grown
before have survived .two severe
drouths. The percentage of tree
survival has been increased re-
cently by the planting of species
which have proved they are suit-
ed -to the area.
Survival 72 Per Cent
The survival among the nine
species cost commonly planted
has been 72 per cent. These in-
clude the honey locust, green ash,
chokeberry, wild plum. American
elm,, native cottonwood, hack-
berry, red cedar, Chinese elm, and
Kentucky coffee tree. #
Last year the service planted
4264 miles of trees in strips
about 100 yards wide. The num-
ber in 1937 was 1329 miles. In
1936 it was 1152 miles, and 1935,
125 miles. This year the service
plans 5000 miles, comprising 40,-
000,000 trees.

is a navy in the world today
which surpasses ours. We have
a perfectly splendid crowd of en-
listed men and officers.
As to the prospects of war, Ad-
miral Andrews was non-commit-
tal.
“We are all of one mind in hop-
ing for peace,” he said. "Our
only thought is to build up so ef-
ficient a navy that it will act as
the greatest guarantee for peace
we can have."
The commander is watching the
Tientsin crisis between Japan and
Great Britain.
"All naval officers are extreme-
ly interested,” he said.
Not His Problem
Questions as to possible joint
action or collusion between Japan
and the European dictatorships
brought a shrug and a smile.
"That isn't up my alley," he re-
marked.
Regarding the recent * sudden
movement of the Pacific fleet
back to the Pacific, he professed
to see no significance.
"Ours is not to ask the reason
why,” he said.
“ Admiral Andrews spent three
years in the Orient, and watches
the China conflict with deep in-
terest.
Commands Scout Force ,
As commander of the scouting
force of the navy, his post ranks
with that of Admiral Kalbfus,
commander of the other major
branch, the battleship force. Both
are under Admiral Bloch, com-
mander-in-chief of the U. 8. Fleet.
In' annual war maneuvers last
winter in the Caribbean, Admiral
Andrews directed the Black fleet,
defending the approaches to the
Panama Canal. Under him were
54 ships, battleships, cruisers and
destroyers—also an air fighting
force.
Schooled in Dallas
Normally, his scouting force in-
cludes all heavy 10,000-ton cruis-
ers, manning eight-inch guns—16
such vessels with 700 men on
each. He also directs an air force
of 200 heavy patrol planes, with
half a dozen tender ships.

officials were confident today it

Since the flood of last July and

• tablished an extensive system of
