P.)- Machinery was set in motion in con- gress today to remove from the rev-, enue bill the provision for 25 per centl reduction personal income taxes pay- able this year and incorporate it in; a. joint resolution which could be adop- ted before March 15, when first in- stallments are due. Acting on a request from the trea- sury department, the senate finance committee unanimously indicated its desire to agree to such a procedure and Chairman Green of the house ways and means committee announced he, would place the proposal before that committee tomorrow. If adopted, Mr. Green said, he would call for a special; rule which would permit the house to take the resolution up immediately. After talking the proposition over with some leaders in the senate, Sen- ator Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi. a member of the finance committee. said it was the opinion of Democrats that the reduction should be allowed. perhaps as soon as possible, but that it was probable they would contend for a reduction on the basis of the Dem- ocratic income tax rates rather than on a fiat 25 per cent reduction on taxes under the present law. Should senate Democrats carry out this plan the entire income tax fight would be brought to a head, and lead- ers predicted such a contest would prevent action before March 15.

The amount raised is to be used, for support- ing a Michigan kitchen in one of the needy university centers of Eastern Europe. The location of this relief station will be decided upon by the committee when all the funds are in. At the present time there are many fraternity, sorority and other organizations on the cam- pus that have not yet been heard from. The average so far from the houses is well over $50. The committee urges that any amount towards the Michigan fund will be appreciated either from indi- viduals or groups. The kitchen is to represent the faculty of the University as well as the stu- dents. :! .

Seventy organ! tions, hundreds of students, and th sands of mechanical contrivances v Washington, March 6.-(By A. P.,- The senate chamber over which Calvin Coolidge so recently presided today became the forum of debate cn his of- ficial acts and political fortunes, re- markably alike for its solemnity and for its bitterness. Impelled by the disclosure that . had sent two telegrams to Edward B. McLean while the oil inquir' was at its height, a half-dozen Democratic senators turned upon the president the same implements of attack they have employed so often recently again- st members of his cabinet. Deplores Disparagement Tendency He was defended with an equal fer- vor by Henry Cabot Lodge, the vener- able Republican senate leader from his own state, who not ofily praised the President's attitude towards the oil scandal but deplored the tendency toward disparagement of public men which he said had dragged senate tra- dition to an unbecoming level. Senator Harrison, Democrat, Miss- issippi, brought Mr. Coolidge's name into the debate with a demand that he personally explain to the country his coimunications with McLean and not leave that explanation to White House statements issued by his secretary, C. Bascom Slemp. The speech went unanswered for more than two hours and then Senator Lodge, after communicating with the White House arose to explain why the1 President had communicated with Mc-i Lean and to assure the senate that "whatever record leaps to life he never will be ashamed." . Walsh Attacks LodgeI Sehgtors Caraway, McKellar, of Tenessee and Dial, of South CarolinaI vigorously, assailed Lodge in -on nection,. with the attack upon Presi- dent Wilspn. Senator Walsh, of 'Mon- ' tana, prosecutor in the oil inquiry, I declared as the debate was growing to close that Senator Lodge was un- dertaliing .to use the prestige of the presidency to minimize the oil dis- closures.1 BARBOUR GYM CHOSEN FOR ARCITCTS B LL Arrangements have been completed f for the holding of the Annual Archi- tect's May party in Barbour gymnas- ium, according to a recent announce- ment of the committee in charge. Al- though the Union was at first consid- ered as the logical location for the event; it'was finally decided that the ball roomr was far to small to accom- modate the large number of guests expected.I J. E. Fronczak, '24A, chairman of the committee in charge of arrange- ments, states that sanction has been; given to have the affair this year takeI the form of a fancy costume dance, and it will be one of the few times thatj such an event has ever been held on the Michigan campus. The type of. decorations is to be decided upon by a competition within the architectural school, and it is stated that they are to be more simple than heretofore. as it Is though tthat the highly colored, costumes will more than make up for the extreme in decorations. Competi- tion is -also to be held for the design of the programs. Not more than 300 tickets are to be sold, and the campus at large will be allowed to purchase them only af- ter the demands of the students of the architectural school have been satis-"i factorily met. The price has been fixed at 5.00. Professor Gives Talks In Saginaw Prof. W. C.
