WASHINGTON. May 20—(U.E)— The senate finance committee late today disposed of minor controver- | sial provisions of the $803,000,000 revenue bill and agreed to vote to- I morrow on the embattled corporate profits tax—the heart of the ; measure.
Votes will be taken on plans to assess corporation earnings which treasury experts said would yield between $525,000,000 and $853,000.-000 annually.
Opposition Grows
Meantime, it was learned that opposition to one feature of a compromise proposal which would increase normal income tax rates frm four to five per cent, had increased to such a point within the j committee that the proposal may be defeated.
Even if proponents of the higher tax rate on lower incomes are successful in committee, opponents indicated tonight they would carry their fight against the provision to the senate floor.
Settlement Expected
Chairman Pat Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi, is hopeful that the profits tax provision may be disposed of tomorrow and a bill reported to the senate early next week. Arrangements will be made to consider it immediately.
Deadlocked for more than a week, the committee today agreed to:
1.	Simplify and moderate the “windfall” tax provision.
2.	Clarify and simplify the provision relating to refunds to processors harmed financially by AAA processing taxes.
3.	Grant certain exemptions to Canadians and Mexicans under the proposed tax on income derived by non-resident aliens from American corporations.

Philadelphia or Berkeley-Why Not Both?
Art Editorial
Dean Cromwell’s great track and field squad could be divided into two teams with the potential capabilities of capturing first place honors in both the I. C. 4-A. meet at Philadelphia and the Pacific coast conference championships at Berkeley on the same day, May 30.
Whether or not the university authorities choose to allow or foster such a move is a matter for their decision, but at least the student body and other followers of Trojan track should be aware that the present squad, the greatest in the history of track and field at this university, if not in the entire collegiate world, is powerful enougn to finish in front of the field at both meets. It is not for the student body to decide that the team should make the I. C. 4-A. venture, as well as the trip north. Such decision rests with President von KleinSmid and the athletic authorities.
The student body, however, should be aware of facts pertinent to the meets and S. C.’s possible participation in them. Too many members of the student body think that Tro> would have no chance to perform the well-nigh miraculous feat of splitting its squad and still coming out on top in both meets. The question of S. C.’s “promised participation in the coast meet” has also led many to believe that there should be no consideration given entry in the eastern blue-ribbon classic.
Troy will violate no obligation, moral or otherwise, by entering eight or nine men in the Philadelphia meet, and sending the next 15 to the Berkeley meet. As was understood, following the conference meeting, where the league championships were planned, the big four (S. C., California. Stanford, and U. C. L. A.) agreed to enter and support the meet. This S. C. will fulfill by entering a 15-man team which is perfectly capable of beating the other entrants. As a matter of fact, the meet will be benefited by withdrawal of S. C.’s topnotch-ers, who would, barring a series of disastrous and unprecedented accidents, make a runaway of the coast clash. If S. C. enters, captures the first place, of which it is capable, and makes a close meet of it, certainly all obligations have been met.
Too few student followers of track and field at S. C. have taken the time to compile a dope sheet regarding the possibility of winning both championships on the same day. Without going into details, it can be said that it is possible to divide the Trojan squad into two teams which, according to conservative estimates, would be able to win the meets for which they were respectively intended. Metropolitan sports editors have been filling their columns with analyses of both meets, pointing to the fact that it is possible to annex two outstanding championships on the same afternoon.
Expense is a negligible factor when compared with the financial problem S. C. faced in sending its 21-man team to Cambridge last season.- Troy then had no budget for such a trip. This year, money has been put aside to guarantee the eastern track trip to the Ohio State and N. C. A. A. meets. The only additional expense for I. C. 4-A. participation would be for living expenses in the two-weeks period between the Philadelphia competition and the dual meet in Ohio.
Publicity to S. C , should the two-meet participation be fostered, would be of inestimable value. Troy now has its opportunity of proving unquestioned supremacy in the national intercollegiate track and field picture.

OKLAHOMA CITY. May 20— <U.E> —The sultry Oklahoma air grew blisteringly hot tonight as Homer Smith, vice president of the Townsend organization, gave answer to charges that he bought firewater for Indians with organization funds.
Smith enlarged upon his opinion of the congressional committee which is investigating old age pension schemes by flatly defying the committee to subpoena him.
“Those scandal mongers can go to hell," he shouted as a beginning. “The one idea is to bust the Townsend movement.”
Smith asserted that the Democratic machine of Boss Tom Pen-dergast in Missouri was responsible for the present investigation.

According to Ross Wattelet, who is in charge of arrangements for the affair, approximately 1703 square feet of hardwood floors are being laid down on the fraternity tennis courts for the event, which promises to be the most novel affair of the kind ever to be staged on the S.C. campus, Wattelet says.
“A night club atmosphere will prevail. Tables will be placed about the grounds surrounding the courts at which couples or groups of couples will be able to secure seats at good vantage points,” stated Wattelet last night.
Admission price for the event includes refreshments and dancing : all evening to the ten-piece band which has been secured for the I music.

The original Guffey act’s provisions for regulating wages and hours of labor, held unconstitutional, were eliminated from the bill which was based on what Guffey described as the “undisputed” power of congress to regulate interstate commerce.
Chief feature of the new measure is a provision giving district coal boards, set up as in the original act, the power to fix minimum prices based on production costs including labor.
It was started through congress with full support of the powerful United Mine Workers of America and the National Conference of Bituminous Coal Producers, representing more than 800 operators with mines in 22 states. Both groups supported the original act invalidated by the supreme court Monday.
