P. Members Will Con fer on Attitude Roosevelt Forces to Fight for Stronger Measure. WASHINGTON. May 30. W) Clashing opinions sounded today over the Senate finance committee's revised bill to boost income surtaxes and levy heavily on corporations with battle lines forming on three fronts.

Senate Republicans were called to confer before the opening of floor debate next week to determine their attitude toward the bill. Senators who forced committee approval of.the compromise bill which ignored President Roosevelt's call for higher taxes on undistributed corporation income predicted it would be passed by the Senate. Serve Notice of Fight. On a third front, administration forces served notice that they would fight on the floor to shove the bill back into line with White House wishes. Senator Black (Democrat, Alabama) spent the morning writing a minority report and said he would attempt more drastic taxes on undistributed corporation profits when the bill comes before the Senate for consideration.

Congressional leaders, pressing for adjournment a week from tonight, hoped meanwhile to obtain prompt Senate approval of the $2,370,000,000 2 uation pegged on the tax bill, many were openly skeptical of reaching the June 6 goal. What Committee Favors. (The Senate committee bill would increase surtaxes on Individual income surtax brackets between $6,000 and tax corporation income at 15 to 18 per cent; levy on undistributed corporate earnings at a flat 7 per cent rate, and subject dividends in the hands of shareholders to the 4 per cent normal income tax). Senator McNary of Oregon, minority leader, told party members to stand by for a parley Monday or Tuesday, after copies of the tax bill in its final form and the majority report on It are available. Although McNary did not offer any forecasts as to how Republican sentiment would crystallize a number of minority members said they expected to combat the tax bill, but to favor Turn To Page 2, Column 1.

ISA' 4 I OF THE Grand Army of the Republic, 4,500 still are living, and 404,000 are dead.

Twenty-three of the old soldiers, averaging more than 90 years of age, marched in the New York parade yesterday, led by 96-year-old Timothy J. Creedon, sergeant of Company 2d regiment, New York state militia. Time must soon take the remaining fragment of the Grand Army, and the last of the men who fought against them from the other side of the line. But war veterans will be always with us, while war lasts. There are 601,940 veterans on the nation disabled list, including 44,587 in hospitals.

War is expensive win or lose especially in this country. No one knows quite how big that "Black Legion" really is. Some say 30.000 wear the skull and cross bones privately; some say 6,000,000. You will get more exact Information from the politicians. If they begin skirting cautiously around the Black Legion question, showing "reluctance to prejudge a body of their fellow citizens," you will know that it is a BIG legion, with many voters, and that politicians are afraid of it.

You remember how a Democratic national convention dodged all direct reference to the Ku Klux Klan through fear of hostile votes. Familiar old Bible names are strangely mixed with news dispatches, telling of Arabs trying to drive the Jews out of Palestine, their own country "Jews working in the fields near the Sea of Galilee are toned by Arabs, increasing tension between Jews and Arabs in Nazareth; telephone lines cut near Ber-sheba; windows smashed by bombs at Haifa." It is suggested that Palestine needs 1,000,000 Jewish population to over awe the belligerent Arabs that now greatly outnumber the Jews a mil lion; or half that number of young Jews would pacify Palestine and the Arabs promptly. But would they want to go to Palestine, instead of playing their part In the greater world? Carnegie did not return to Scotland except for a visit, or Thomas S. Ryan, or John D. Crimmins to Ireland.

American cotton growers fighting the boll weevil will sympathize with Argentine growers, attacked by vast u-iitna nf devouring locusts, far worse than any weevil. The Argen tine ministry of agriculture an nounces 10,000 tons of cotton de voured 60,000 acres invaded. Farmers fight the locusts by erect ing walls of sheet iron or digging Hiichpn into which the locusts swarm, to be sprayed with gasoline and burned. Tons of the pests are ihum destroved. but victory is still with the locuBts.

The Argentine government Is well supplied with airplanes; they might help with the war against locusts. Still better, if prayer could bring It, miracle, like the one In Exodus, tenth chapter, nineteenth verse; "and Jehovah turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them Into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the border of Egypt." When you read that locusts have devoured TEN THOUSAND TONS of cotton In a few days, you realize the Importance of frequent warnings from scientists that man's most dangerous enemies, the Insect tribes, might some day wipe out the human race. Nature's dreadful fecundity might make useless all that man could do. Gen. MacArthur, who used to be chief of staff in our army and Is now working as military adviser to Pres ldent Quezon of the Philippines, has a plan to discourage any invasion of those islands, unless by somebody willing to spend $10,000,000,000 and three years doing the Job.

That Tt- minds England which supplies us with most of our military informa tionwho said it would take Mu solini three years to conquer Ethi' opia. It took him seven months. It would take Japan half that time to conquer the Philippines, with Uncle Sam out, and Japan can wait until he goes. Also, it would not cost Japan flO.OOO.OOO.OOO. They do thinKS economically; our dollar-a year patriots of the big war would be surprised.

Gen. liacArthur's plan Includes "a fleet of fifty to one hundred tiny swift fighting craft, eight men in each, going fifty to sixty miles an hour, each with two -torpedo tubes, and a Filipino reserve army starting with 400.0) and running up to reserves in thirty years."

And Meyer, the popular champion of them all in Speedway history, a three-time winner at .12, and a new record holder, shouted: "Tell everybody Jor me I'm not going to quit just because I won for the third time. I'm not through with racing. I like it most. I'll be back next year and in there to win.
