THE NATIONAL WHIRLIGIG "NEWS BEHIND THE NEWS" Washington BY RAY TUCKER DISCREPANCY Roosevelt's ghost President writers slipped him some shadowy figures for his discussion of federal expenditures before the American Retail Federation. With receipts and taxes furnishing an embarrassing topic on Capitol Hill, the blunder came at a peculiarly unfortunate moment. In talking about the regular departmental costs of not emergency president boasted that he had reduced the yearly totals below his predecessors. It served SA a foil to his promise not to crimp on spending for the downtrodden. But in his most recent budget message to congress he included (or the treasury experts stockholders in a merger.

Likened to Marriages Morris was the first non-official witness to testify before the committee on tax revision. It opened hearings Saturday to hear Secretary Morgenthau indicate that the administration, among other things, was willing that tax "irritants" be removed. Speculating on whether levies on i both the company and the stock- holders would not diminish the number of reorganizations and, I therefore, decrease the total gov- eminent tax return from mergers, 1 he said: "The more onerous it is to get I a marriage license the fewer legal i marriages you have." i Mitchell B. Carroll of New York. counsel for the National Foreign Trade Council, asked the committee to remove what he called "indirect restrictions" on corporations operating in foreign trade.

One such restriction, he asserted, resulted from the undistributed pro' fits tax and prevented domestic concerns from obtaining full credits for the taxes they must pay foreign governments.

"Then it should lit its nominations to its principles," the senator said. The Michigan Republican added that the convention should strive "to create common ground upon which all like-thinkers may unite to produce an administration for all Americans." In such an administration, Vandenberg said, the president should be "a pre-pledged, one-term president" who would be "manifestlj free of all incentive but the one job of saving America." The senator added: "In my view, the nominations should flow from the deliberative judgment of a convention wholly free to search out the wisest, surest answers to these critical problems For People to Speak "Holding this deep conviction, it would be wholly out of character for me personally to pursue the nominations for myself. It is for the people themselves to speak.

No man understanding its difficulties and responsibilities could covet the presidency; and no American could decline it if chosen." Vandenberg expressed gratitude for the statement by Michigan Republicans, and said he hoped "to proceed with whatever responsibilities lie ahead in a manner that may justify these generous opinions."

The second time the party London, May Minister Chamberlain's popularity appeared today to have taken a marked upswing, as fear of war abated. Although the Soviet government had given no outward sign of approval of the proposed British- French-Russian mutual assistance pact, the British press and public regarded the alliance as an accomplished fact.

Some informed circles believed that Ivan Maisfcy, Soviet ambassador to London, would be instructed to accept the proposals when he returned today from Geneva. War Dangers Decreasing In these circles there was no doubt an agreement would be concluded by the time parliament reconvenes on June Chamberlain predicted last week. Whether or not the acceptance by Russia comes so soon newspapers generally hailed the alliance as the "greatest assurance of peace" and agreed that the immediate danger of war was decreasing. Chamberlain's resurgent popularity was attributed by his supporters to a greater feeling of security and optimism. He started his third year as prime minister yesterday.

Many Britons thought that after switching the government's course from appeasement he had done an outstanding job toward building alliances and strengthening national defense. The Daily Express called the prime minister a "commonplace man transformed by great events." Says Chamberlain Not Trusted The Laborite Daily Herald struck the lone jarring note with an editorial which credited the labor opposition for the government's reshaped foreign policy. The same newspaper carried an article by Harold Laski, a political scientist just returned from the United States. The article, headlined, "they don't trust Mr. said, "there is widespread distrust of Mr.

PARENTS ARE AMAZED London, May The 24- year-old American flyer Thomas Smith was believed tonight to have crossed the Atlantic ocean in his tiny "Baby Clipper" airplane and to be streaking toward London. There still was no definite proof the young airman had conquered the ocean, but a tiny craft of aluminum color similar to his was sighted flying eastward at three points in the British Isles during the day. The first was at Londonderry, northern Ireland, at 2:30 p. GMT (8:20 a. CST).

Bodies of George Orsborn And Niece Recovered Last Night. SPAN HAD BEEN BARRED Bruce Crossing, May Orsborn, 27, and Charlotte Swanson, 3-year old niece of Orsborn, were drowned yesterday afternoon about 1:30 in the west branch of the Ontonagon river below Victoria Falls dam when Orsbom slipped off a small footbridge below the dam while carrying the young girl.

A large rescuing party, including the Ontonagon fire department, did. not recover the bodies until last night. Orsborn's body was recovered at 6:30 just 25 feet from where the pair fell into the water. The body of the Swanson girl was found at 8:30 about 20 feet further down the river. Charlotte was the daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Lewis Swanson of Bruce Crossing. Mrs. Swanson is a sister of the drowned man. Orsborn was the son of Mr.

and Mrs. August Orsborn, also of Bruce Crossing. Orsborn is also survived by four other sisters, Mrs. Myrtle Rider Lansing, Mrs. Hazel Peacock, Watersmeet, and Lorraine and Mable at home; and two brothers, Edward at home and James at Lansing.

He was rushed to a hospital, where physicians said he was slightly from shock. suffering A sudden slide of rock trapped the miner Friday as he worked in the mine, one of the many so-called "bootleg" workings which dot this eastern Pennsylvania hard coal section. Two companions escaped. Galligan's 80-year-old father, Patrick, who had kept vigil at the scene from the time his son's plight was learned, was among the several hundred spectators who witnessed the rescue.

The son greeted his father with "h'ya pop, I'm okay but a little hungry." Loose dirt covering Galligan's re- fuge, a small chamber which did not cave in, made the rescuers task doubly difficult. Toward the end the rescuers worked two and three at a time in a space only four feet square under the constant threat that they too might become engulfed by new slides.

Noble Charles Chambers, for four hours last night, Munder said he 'seems to know a little" about the killing, and added "there are certain things he told us that we' want to check." Chambers told his story first to Chief James Kerr of the Chicago park district police. Kerr said Chambers gave this account of the slaying, which occurred Sept. 9, 1931: A rum-runner and his son he knew narrowly escaped capture by the coast guard. Thinking it was Collings who had "informed" on them, the two boarded the yachtsman's vessel, the Penguin, and killed him. At the time, the victim's widow, Lilian, said Collings had fought with two men who clambered aboard the boat, that he was beaten and thrown overboard while their daughter, Barbara, 5, looked on.

Though hundreds of persons have been questioned in this country and abroad, none -as able to shed light on the mystery.
