Radio From Virginia.
ITHAC'A, N. Y., May 23.-(lP)-
Cornell University's memorial to its
World War dead was dedicated here
today in a cold rain, President
Hoover, from his Virginia camp,
delivered the dedicatory address by
radio.
The memorial consists of Army
and Navy towers which connect in
cloisters and a hall adjoining each
tower. Massedabefore the structure
were the throngs who came to
honor the 264 men who offered to
die for their country in France,
Italy and Belgium.
The Cornell Sun, undergraduate
paper, had demanded that the
names of those university men who
died for Germany and her allies be
included in the memorial, but it
was explained that subscriptions
had been asked for a memorial to
those who fought for the United
States and the Allies and that to
include the names of the others'
would necessitate a complete change
in plans.

'SMITH FILESREPLYT
TO SENATE OUSTER
Brief Contends Confirmation of
Nomination Was Final
and Binding.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-(AP)-The
reply of Chairman George Otisl
Smith of the power commission to
the Senate's effort to 6ust him was
filed today in the District of Co-
lumbia Supreme Court.
A brief prepared by former Sen-
ator George Wharton Pepper con-
tended that "as interpreted 'by es~
talilished practice" the original
confirmation of Smith's nomina-
tion had been final and binding.
He argued that the later recon-
sideration and rejection of the
nomination by the Senate was "ir-
relevant and immaterial."
Although Pepper admitted the
existence of Senate rules which
providenfor reconsideration of ap-
proved nominations within two days
he contended that the long estab-
lished system of notifying the Pres-
ident upoA the day of confirmation
made that action irrevocable.

REVISIONO'F TAXES
Says Government Income Varies
With 'Fluctuations of
Business Cycle,
WASHINGTON, May 23.-(iP)-
Revision of the tax system to pro-
vide a r6gular flow of revenue was.
suggested tonight by Andrew W.
Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury.
In an address over the Washing-
ton Star radio forum, Secretary
Mellon pointed out that under the
present system the Government's
income fluctuates with the upward
or downward swing of business.
This is due, he added, "to the
fact that we rely for two-thirds of
our tax revenue on the income tax,
which is subject to sweeping varia-
tions."
"The situation in which we find
ourselves at present, with a serious
deficit facing us at the end of the
year," he said, "{raises the question
as to whether we have yet develop-
ed a sufficiently well-balanced sys-
tem to provide the revenues on
which the Government must be
able to count from year to year."
Secretary Mellon said the pros-
pective deficit, estimated at $800,-
000,000 for the end of the fiscal
year, was being met through bor-
rowing. He added, however, that
was "only a temporary expedient."

Problem of 'Taking the Profit
Out of War' Studied by
Its Members.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-(iP)-A
variety of plans for "taking the
profit out of war" faced members
of the war policies commission to-
day as they began to study the
testimony taken during extended
hearings, preparatory to reporting
to Congress in December. The com-
mission is composed of cabinet
members and representatives of the
House and Senate.
, The most comprehensive plan
was the proposal from Bernard M.
Baruch, chairman of the war in-
dustries board during the last cpn-
flict, for governmental control of
industry through an agency similar
to the one he headed.
The plan calls for peace-time
iegislation- to give the president
power at the outbreak of a war, to
freeze all prices, subject to later
modification by a price fixing co-
mission.
