HENDERSON GATEWAY TO CENTRAL CAROLINA TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR EARHART REPORTED HEARD CALLING HELP BOTH SIDES GATHER FULL STRENGTH FOR BATTLE OVER COURT Neither Trusts Other and Wants To Be Prepared For Any Surprise Move in Fight COMPROMISE PLAN COMES UP TUESDAY Administration Group Claims 54 Votes Sure, but Enemies of Plan Dispute Figure, and Say They Know They Have 43; Little Group Holds Balance Washington, July 3. —(AP) —Lead- ers on both sides of the Senate court bill fight asked all senators today to be present for the opening of the big battle Tuesday. The line-up on the substitute meas ure, offered by administration sena tors yesterday, was so close that chieftains of both friends and foes wanted to be ready for any surprise move. Although no test votes were ex pected during the first few days of the debate, the situation was the tensest since the Democrats gained their overwhelming Senate majority in 1933. Supporters of the administration substitute said they had 54 sure votes. Opposition leaders said there were at least 13 votes against it, and chal lenged the claim of the other side. Even with 54 votes, the administra tion would have a margin of only five over a majority. It would have to keep its entire strength within reach at all times to prevent being upset by a surprise maneuver. Neither side was certain of its strength on the many possible par liamentary moves. As was the case with the original measure, the fate of the new proposal rests largely with a big group of pub licly-uncommitted senators.

STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, July s—Congress’, in*- vestigation of income tax “avoidance’’ is not proving to be as good a show as generally was anticipated. It is too technical. The average individual evidently does not understand the legal de vices by which folk with supposedly very big incomes have been taxed up on relatively small ones, or not taxed at all in some cases. L.awyers for the alleged “avoiders” have been so slick as to have had the better even of treasury experts. Naturally, then, the whole thing makes scarcely any sense at all to the ordii.?ry layman. The alleged “avoiding” has been done in accordance with the law’s re quirements, anyway. Besides, it is not charged that the alleged “avoiders” (at least not many of them) are pun ishable.
