Chairman Samuel B. Hill, Democrat Washington, told reporters: “We have eliminated entirely the subject of processing taxes and all excis taxes from the report as a basis for hearings, because we weren’t very keen for it at any time, and felt we would get pretty close to the amount of money we need from other sources.” The sub-committee agreed, too, ho said, to reduce from 33 1-2 to 22 1-2 percent the tax rate on dividends to non-resident, alien owners of stock in American corporations. He said it was felt the rate was too high, and the lower rate might even pioduce more money. Hill said it was exppcted that $591,- 000,000 of additional revenue would be produced from a new corporation tax based on amounts of net income held back for reserves; $83,000,000 from temporary continuation of existing capital stock and excess profits levies; $100,000,000 from a “windfall” (Continued on Page Three.) Small Shopkeeper Also Seen Lining Up With Work ers and Farmers By LESLIE EICHEL Central Press Staff Writer One of the peculiarities of the presi dential situation is manifesting itself stronger than ever. That is, the ap parently increasing support of Presi dent Roosevelt by Progressive Re publicans, Socialists —and small shop keepers. Conservatives may ask, ironically, “What else could you expect?” But conservatives overlook the fact that progressives and Republicans consider President Roosevelt’s admin istration now as “thoroughly reac tionary.’’ Yet polls of voters, letters to news papers and private opinions of poli tical “experts” indicate that President Roosevelt has all but absorbed the votes of the Progressive Republicans and Socialists in the midwest, in the (Continued on Page Five) Desperate Appeal For Hauptmann Is Made By Attorney Trenton, N.

Q PAGES &JODAY FIVE CENTS COPY Washington Sees Founda tion Laid for New Struc ture for World Fleet Limitations SIZE OF WARSHIPS LIMITED BY PACT Exchange of Information on New Building Programs Provided in Agreement; American Delegates Dis appointed That No Quan tity Limits Are Imposed London, March 25 (AP) The United States, Great Bri tain and France signed a new international naval treaty to day. The pact removes restrictions on the size of navies, but the United States and Great Britain possessors of the world’s might iest fleets, agreed separately to maintain their navies at the same level. The chief American delegate, Nor man H. Davis, and British Foreign secretary Anthony Eden exchanged letters, each declaring the principle of parity contained in existing treat ies with regard to their two fleets would continue to hold good after the old treaties expire and the new ones go into effect. The new pacts, replacing the Wash ington accord and the London treaty of 1930, limited neither the number nor the tonnage of the fleets of the three participating powers, but intro duced a new scheme for advanced notification of naval building pro grams. Delegates to the international con ference, which shaped the new treaty, expressed hope that the program for exchanges of information would curb anp sea armaments race for at least six years. The new treaty also limited the size of the individual types of war ships, and inaugurated a building holiday for the larger type of cruis ers in place of the battleships build ing holiday, which endured for 14 years under the expiring Washing ton treaty. The treaty was left open for the signatures later of Italy, which parti cipated in the conference to the end but declined to sign the pact while sanctions were in effect, and Japan which withdrew in the controversy over its equality demands.

Officials say that once the pact be comes effective, future building pro grams will be adjusted to conform to the reduction it imposed in the sizes of cruisers and aircraft carriers. It must be ratified 'by the Senate before becoming operative, so far as the United States is concerned. The new treaty will not apply to cruisers and aircraft carriers now be ing constructed by the navy and those which might be laid down before Jan uary 1, 1937, even though they repre sent heavier tonnages than the limit' set in the new limitations agreement.
