Committee in House Accepts Revised Budget
WASHINGTON, March 26— rU.P>— Stripped of farm excise levies and providing $345,000,000 less revenue than demanded by President Roosevelt for the next three years, the recommendations of congressional tax experts were accepted by the I house ways and means committee tcday as the basis of the adminis- j tration’s new tax bill.
The revised estimates promptly raised a question whether Mr. Roosevelt would be able to balance the ordinary federal budget for the 1936-37 fiscal year with the reduced yield. He estimated in his recent message to congress thai $792,000,009 in additional revenue would be required annually for three years to restore the budget,
Winds Blast Wheat Lands In Threat To Destroy Cattle and Crops
KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 26— <IIE)—A second major dust storm blasted across the winter wheat region tonight in a renewal of conditions which threaten the “dust bowl” with the fate of a desert.
Greening fields of tiny wheat stalks caught a double onslaught of moisture-sapping winds and raking streams of sand and debris.
Only abundant rainfall within two weeks can save heavy losses to farmers throughout western Kansas, and the Oklahoma and Texas panhandle. Although the intensity of the dust storms is comparab’.e with those which brought ruin to the affected area two years ago, the “dust bowl” itself is smaller.
Stcrm Brings Snow
The new storm again brought snow to Garden City, Kan., and assured at least a partial crop. Eastern Colorado also was escaping the dust damage.
There was no easing of suffering for those in the powder dry dust region where humans were forced to remain indoors and cattle had to be fed lest they eat the dust covered vegetation and die.
Again, farmers !n regions adjacent to the dry bowl were talking of the possibility of dust electricity killing their crops which this year give promise of bumper yields.
The storm went keening north-eas ward out of Oklahoma and Texas before daybreak. Wichita, Kan., residents were awakened at daybreak by the sound of the silt whiplashing against their windows

U.C.L.A. Editor
Supported by Board in Fight
Gilbert Harrison Remains In Office as Legality Of Act Challenged
Council Explains Ousting
Publication Oficials, Staff Vote Unanimously To Disregard Removal
Gilbert Hanison r^mpins editor of the U. C. L. A. Dai^y Bmin, de-soite the dismissal voted Wednes-d?y by the student executive council.
The publications board yesterday voted unanimously (1) that it did not recognize ths action of removal; (2) that it denied the validity of the entire council procedure; and (3) that it offered no recommendation for a successor, although the council had requested that this be done.
“Removal” Unconstitutional
According to the board’s resolution, there is no provision in the A. S. U. C. constitution for the removal of the editor. Removal should be effected by the same procedure applying in case of appointment— petition by two-thirds of the publications board, and the majority concurrence of the student council.
The Daily Bruin appears on the Bruin campus thio morning published by the regular staff headed by Harrison. With the support of the publications board, the ousted editor refused to recognize the validity of the council’s action.
Stafr Supports “I and the entire staff are behind Gil to a man,” Jack Stanley, managing editor and second in authority on the publication, declared last night. “We are the only recognized staff of the Daily Bruin, and will continue to be the only staff until legal proceudre is followed by the executive council.”
The publication board’s meeting followed a no less militant statement “in explanation” by the council appearing in yesterday morn-rng’s paper. Readers were also mystified by a boxed emoly snac* at the side of the “explanation.” This had previously contained a statement of the position of the other members of the staff headed by Stanley. The type for his statement was chiseled out of the front page plate at the last minute, and after it had already been cast.
The stand taken by the council inthe ouster proct ding was:
In Explanation In removing the editor of the Daily Bruin the student council did not seek to protect its position.
It did not vote upon the pros and cons of the abolition of student government.
The action was taken because the Daily Bruin Was no longer a newspaper of the associated students.
Almost the entire feature page was devoted to the editorial policy of abolition of activities, while the Bruin, itself, is the largest activity of the students.
Well-written student articles were suppressed because they were in conflict with the editorial policy. No definite promise could be gained from the editor that they would be published in the future.

Lack of Student Interest Forestalls Laundry Plan
Trojan students must continue to wash their dirty linen as best they may. Lack of interest has forced abandonment of cooperative laundry plans.
Under the leadership of Ed Yale, the National Student Federation of America was seeking to obtain lower laundry rates for S.C. students, through* the handling of ail work by one concern, to be chosen on the basis of the lowest bid from several competing laundries.
Questionnaires distributed among fraternities and sororities as well as ballots printed in th'; Daily Trojan failed to elicit sufficient student response.
Stated Eames Bishop, A.S.U.S.C. prexy, “Upon investigation, it has been found that a cooperative laundry scheme such as has been proposed can not work to advantage upon our campus. This reason, I feel, is not because of ths imprac-tibility of the plan, but because of the unwillingness of the organizations to cooperate tor their own advantage. You have to put a fork in some people’s hands before they will eat.”
