and Pictorial Services THREE CENTS DOUGLAS NAMED TO SUCCEED BRANDEIS TO JOIN RALLY AGAINST NAZIS Nine-Power Pact Is Suggested to Britain By FREDERICK KTJH LONDON--Great Britain and Soviet Russia forgot two decades of mutual suspicion today to rally Europe against Adolf Hitler. Great, Britain offered commercial aid to Rumania to withstand the threat of Nazi domination. Soviet Russia was reported reliably to have proposed a nine- power conference of European nations to consolidate the "stop Hitler" campaign. Bolstered by the stern attitude of the United States toward Nazi expansion by armed force, the government of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain took the lead in negotiations for a united front with Soviet Russia, France, Poland, Rumania and the Balkan states. "A serious view is taken by the -government of events of the last week," Chamberlain solemnly told the house of commons as a decision to send a commercial mission to Rumania was announced.

"-The situation created by those events is engaging the earnest attention of the government, which also is in communication with other governments." The special mission to Ru- mania was considered an effort to offset the threat of Nazi economic domination of King Carol's nation. Rumania, which is signing a new trade agreement with the Nazis, appealed to Britain'for as- jrurances as-to what support could be expected if King Carol resisted German overlordship and the dispatch of the commercial mission appeared to be part of the answer. With Nazis openly talking of move to take over Memel or recover Danzig or eliminate the RUSSIA READY Roosevelt Insists on Tax Increases to (Continued on Page R'ght) Oppose Plans For Reservoir ASHTABULA, O. --The plan to build a reservoir 27 miles long in Ashtabula and Trumbull counties to provide water for the proposed Lake Erie Ohio river canal will be criticized at a protest meeting here tonight. The meeting is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and other civic arid farm organizations.

C. F. Brade and John B. Bane, Pittsburgh attorneys representing the Upper Ohio Valley Association, will speak. Lando.vners have charged that the proposed reservoir would wipe out several villages farm lands and highways.

They estimated that 10 per cent of Ashtabula county would be inundated. According to plans, the reservoir would occupy 60 square miles or more and extend from two miles south of Ashtabula to a point near Southington, Trumbull county, seven miles northwest of Barren. It was asserted that the villages of Austinburg, East Trumbull, Sagleville Mechanics ville, Rock Creek and Windsor would be wiped out and that part of Mesopotamia would be covered. East west highways which would have to be re-routed are U. 6 and 322, and State Routes 87 and 88.

The reservoir xvould be 50 feet deep in seme places. The board of Engineers for rivers and harbors recently approved plans for the canal, which would cost $207.000,000. Several Ohio cor.gie^men a announced they will cppose the project. I Offset Reductions in Revision Program WASHINGTON--President Roosevelt has turned red stop light on business Appeasement plans which would take a $250,000,000 chance that reduced tax rates would Increase actual treasury revenue. A program of tax revision on that pattern was understood to be the first choice of both the National Association of Manufacturers and the United States Chamber of Commerce.

Business spokesmen argued that removal of "business deterrents" from the tax structure would encourage private initiative, Increase business turnover and give the treasury more income at the new, lower rates than is obtained under existing schedules. Sir. Roosevelt's position, stated emphatically at his press conferences, is that any tax revision to eliminate "business deterrents" must Increase other levies to offset potential losses. The president insistently has told reporters that Chairman Fat Harrison, of the senate finance committee ha? agreed that tax revision must include increased levies in some categories to offset reductions in others.

In all instances it was decided to refuse to purchase British goods as a retaliatory measure against the act of Parliament, which imposed certain "duties on tea, paper, painter's colors, oil and etc." The lengthy account of the historic Boston massacre was delegated to the second page. The author's name was withheld, al- tho the publishers of the paper proudly displayed their trade name, Edes and Gill's, in Queen st. The story of the massacre differs in two distinct points with an account of the battle as given by one of America's eminent historians, W. E. Woodward, author of the recent "A New American History." In Mr.

Douglas of the securities and exchange commission, an arch- New Dealer and reformer of the nation's securities markets. Douglas. 41, who was bom in Minnesota, raised in Washington state, and educated in the east, was named to succeed Louis Dembitz Brandeis, who resigned.

The nomination was sent to the senate, where immediate indications were that there would be little dispute over his confirmation. Douglas was nominated as from Connecticut, where he formerly taught law at Yale, but because oi his background and political beliefs it was believed he would be acceptable to most of the western senators who have been clamoring; for a representative on the court. As presently constituted, the court has only one justice considered a westerner--Associate Justice Pierce Butler, whose home is in Minnesota. At 41, Douglas Is one of the youngest men ever nominated for the supreme court. The nomination, completing the nine-man personnel of the high court, was President Roosevelt's fourth appointment to the supreme bench.

But it will not affect the close liberal-conservative alignment directly, since Douglas will succeed Brandeis, considered one (Continued on Page Blgbl) Would Broaden Neutrality Law WASHINGTON Chairman Key Pittman of the senate foreign relation committee today introduced new neutrality legislation in an administration move to free President Roosevelt from some restrictions of current law.
