Roosevelt intervened to warn bluntly that it would not prevent war and would lead other nations “to believe that they could violate American rights with impunity.”
The chief executive took a personal hand in defeating the controversial measure when it appeared that proponents had amassed sufficient strength to take it from a hostile judiciary committee and bring it to the floor for consideration. The vote pigeon-holed it for the balance of the session.
WOULD WEAKEN CONGRESS
The resolution provided for a national referendum before war could be declared except in case of armed invaison or violation of the Monroe doctrine. This would strip congress of its power to declare war. It was offered three years ago and W’as supported by peace societies and isolationists.
Mr. Roosevelt’s views were set forth in a letter to Speaker William B. Bankhead who read it immediately after Rep. Louis Ludlow. D„ Indiana, sponsor of the proposal, moved that it be taken from the committee.
WOULD CRIPPLE PRESIDENT
“Such an amendment,” the president said, “would cripple any president in his conduct of our foreign relations, and it would encourage other nations to believe that they could violate American rights with impunity. I must frankly state that I consider that the proposed amendment would be impracticable in its application and incompatible with our representative form of government. I fully realize that the sponsors sincerely believe that it would be helpful in keeping the United States out of war. I arn convinced it would have the opposite effect.”
The house was tense as Ludlow-got slowly to his feet and moved consideration. Bankhead, carrying the president’s letter, stepped down into the house well and began speaking. He then read the letter and, after cursory debate, the vote was taken.

A bit of fancy trucking was indulged in by Virginia Holbrook as she waited with Harry Pollack between dances. The “Big Apple” also was being performed by several ambitious dancers.
A more subdued note was set by Fred Keenan and Blythe Rae Hawley who were contented just to watch and hold hands. Mary Mc-Masters and Vic Marry also seemed very pleased with one another. That steady combination of Helen Her-wig and Charles Schweitzer seemed happy when together, but also found time to dance with others.

New Deal Wins Tax Victories in Supreme Court
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 — (U.E)— The new deal won two important revenue victories in the supreme court today when the tribunal ruled that Americans may not legally deduct from their taxable income the amount of taxes levied on their investments by foreign governments, and approved a $2,000,000 tax assessment against a Du Pont holding company.
The court also agreed to rule on whether a state may tax income derived wholly from interstate commerce and that derived from income on tax-exempt municipal bonds.
Thousand of Americans will be affected by the decision on foreign taxes on which the court split 6 to 3. The tribunal’s three ultra-con-servatives, Justices James C. McReynolds, Pierce Butler, and George Sutherland who is retiring in a week, dissented.
The issue was brought by Mary Duke Biddle, of New York, who sought authority to deduct from her American taxable income the amount of $47,380 which her attorney said was paid to the British government in 1929 as taxes on $240,786 in dividends deeclared by the British-American Tobacco com-
Economy Drive Opponents Get First Setback
WASHINGTON, Jan 10 —(lT.E)— The “pork barrel” revolt against President Roosevelt’s economy drive suffered its first defeat today when the house rejected a proposal by Rep. Jed Johnson, D„ Oklahoma, to increase Civilian Conservation corps appropriations $45,000,000 beyond budget estimates.
There was no record vote, only a loud yell of “No!” when Johnkin sought to attach his amendment to the independent offices appropriation bill. The president proposed that the CCC appropriation be reduced to $226,331,000 for the 1939 fiscal year, $124,000,000 below 1938.
Rep. Clifton Woodrum, D., Virginia, opposed the amendment and warned that government spending must be curtailed.
“Unless some congress, some time, gets the idea that you can’t go on spending more than you receive, pretty soon there won’t be any business and industry,” he said’.
Woodrum urged that the house award the president the authority he seeks to eliminate individual items of an appropriation bill without being compelled to veto the entire measure. He said such ac-
Medicine Topic of
Lecture
Dr. Drury To Discuss High Blood Pressure Al Wednesday Address
“High Blood Pressure"—one of the most important causes of sudden death—is the topic of Dr. Douglas Drury’s Wednesday lecture tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 in 159 Science.
Next to last on this semester’s schedule of Wednesday lectures sponsored by Dr. Albert S. Rauben-heimer and the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, the talk will be presented with cooperation of Sigma Xi and the Faculty Science club.
STUDY OF BLOOD PRESSURE
Dr. Drury, professor of physiology in the School of Medicine, has for many years experimented with high blood pressure in animals.
Phases of the study of high blood pressure to be covered by Dr. Drury in his lecture include the history of the study of high blood pressure, the importance of such a study from the viewpoint of individual and public health, and the consequences and treatment of high blood pressure.
NEW EXPERIMENTS In conclusion, Dr. Drury will explain present day experiments attempting to determine the cause and mechanism of high blood pressure and will interpret experimental procedure for treatment of the abnormality.
Searching for causes of high blood pressure, Dr. Drury has been successful in producing the condition by chemical interferences with the function of the kidney. Other experiments have carried him into the closely related fields of diabetes and physiology of the liver.
Graduating from Stanford university in 1918 and the Stanford medical school in 1922, Dr. Drury was engaged in research at the Rockefeller institute in New York City for the following seven years.
Ten Killed in Plane Crash
F.D.R., HULL CONFER ON NAVY PLAN
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 —(U^>— President Roosevelt conferred with Secretary of State Cordell Hull and high naval officials today preparatory to asking congress to bolster the national defense with an expanded aircraft, submarine, and destroyer building program Dr. Roosevelt is expected to send a special message to the capitol either Wednesday or Thursday. It will ask authorizations adding between $100,000,000 and $200,000,000 to his billion-dollar defense budget and will stress the need of strengthening the navy’s air, underseas, and light surface fleets.
The chief executive is not expected to request additional capital ships. Two already are under construction and he recommended two more in his budget message. He is said to feel that construction of more than four at this time would over-tax building facilities.

BOZEMAN, Mont, Jan. 10— (U.B)— A Northwest Airways Lockheed-Zephyr passenger plane, carrying eight passengers and a crew of two, crashed and burned in heavily-wooded Bridger canyon, 15 mile* northeast of Bozeman, today.
The accident, confirmed by airline officials and farmers who saw the plane falter and fall on an east-bound flight from Butte to Billings, was the first involving passengers in the Northwest airlines’ 11 years of operations.
NEW PLANE Les Farrington, St. Paul, general traffic manager of the airlines, in a telephone call from St. Paul to Billings confirmed the fears that had been felt since 3:47 p.m. <MST) when the plane failed to reach its destination at Billings.
Long before Farrington's confirmation reports trickling in from the canyon had told of the deaths of all aboard the plane, recently put into service and equipped with every modem safety device obtainable. PASSENGERS LISTED Those aboard, according to Northwest airlines’ list, were:
Pilot N. B. Mamer, Spokane, one of the Pacific Northwest's mo6t famed and highly skilled fliers. Co-pilot F. W. West, Spokane. Passengers G. A. Anderson, Spokane; D. McKay, Winnipeg, Canada; L.

FIRE BREAKS OUT Borgenheimer, Croonquist. and Anderson were company employes. Croonquist was Montana state traffic manager.
The plane had left Butte on schedule at 2:05 p.m. West made a routine report an hour later that indicated all was well.
