TAX BILL MAY GET;
HOUSE'S__APPROVAL
Party Lines Forgotten in Fightt
to Quell Tide of Opponents
to Sales Levy.s
WASHINGTON, March 11.-(PA)-
Recovering .somewhat from thef
first heavy blast of opposition,
evoked by the new tax bill, party#
leaders today confidently predicted
House approval without extensive
changed.E
Despite the determination of a
band of Independents and Demo-
crats to remove the manufacturers1
sales tax, the leaders asserted they
could force it to passage by a non-t
partisan vote.
White House approval of the
$1,096,000,000 measure, as it was1
drafted by the Ways and Means1
Committee, was predicted by Rep.I
Snell, of New York, Republican
floor leader.l
Both he and Rep. Rainey, of Illi-
nois, the Democratic leader, as-
serted that the bill would meet
House sanction because the oppo-
sition had nothing as good to offer
as the manufacturers levy. They
said the sales tax provision wasI
more equitable than any substitute
suggested, and that it would be the
least burdensome on the Country.a
On the other hand Rep. La-
Guardia, New York Republican, a
,eader of the Independents, pre-
dicted that the sales levy would
be stricken from the bill. He said
"the entire progressive group" was
against it and would offer a sub-
stitute plan of heavy excise taxes
on certain industries, estimated toI
yield $400,000,000. The yield of theS
manufacturers levy is figured ati
$595,000,000.'
Another substitute plan has been
prepared by Rep. Doughton, of
North Carolina, a Democratic mem-
ber of, the Ways and Means Com-
mittee, which is to be offered soon.
It involves special levies on lux-,
aries and selected industries. ]
Communists Ask Trial a
Urge Establishment o
DETROIT, March 1l.-(fP)-Five
thousand persons packed the Arena
Gardens tonight for a meeting
avowedly sponsored by communists!

our comrades."
Other speakers, men of whom
were unidentified, urged the 'im-
mediate ejection" of Frank Murphy

COLUMBUS, O., March 11.-
-(AP)-Amid the cracking of two
Western Conference records, the
University of Michigan swim-
mers gave notice to the world
that they were out to defend their
title, by placing 10 men and one
relay team in the qualifying trials
of the annual Big Ten meet to-
night.'
Michigan men accounted for
the two shatterede marks. Taylor
Drysdale clipped seven-tenths of
a second off the old 150-yard back-
stroke record when he finished in
1:42.3 and the Wolverine medley
relay team composed of Drysdale,
Lemak and Kennedy set a mark of
3:11.2 as compared with the old
mark of 3:12.6.
Hold Trials in 6 Events.
Qualifying trials were held in six
of the eight events on the program.
Finals in all events will be held Sat-
urday night. Minnesota placed four
men and one team; Northwestern
eight men and a relay team; Iowa
three and one; Ohio two and one;
Illinois one and one; Chicago, one
inan, and Purdue, one.relay team.
The Wolverines will have a
strong team in the 400-yard relay
and several strong entries in the
440-yard free style events, in which
qualifying was not necessary.
Wentworth Lobell, of Iowa, out
after his third successive Big Ten
diving championship, led the field
of quaifiers with 111.65. Iowa and
Michigan were the only schools to'
place two men in this event, Chi-
cago and Northwestern each get-
ting one.
Johnny Schmieler, national 200-
yard breast stroke champion, was
the outstanding star on the Mich-
igan team, turning in the best time
in 200-yard breast stroke and the
220-yard free style and placing
second in the 100-yard free style.
