By the Associated Press. , The Senate neared a vote today on the reciprocal trade act after Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho declared It burdened American agriculture with foreign competition. • Asked by Senator Harrison. Demo crat. of Mississippi, a champion of the program, if he thought the Cana dian treaty had seriously affected American cattle prices. Borah said yesterday: . "If enough cattle came in to help the Canadian farmer, enough came in to hurt the American ’farmer." Although his protest joined those of Senators Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan, and Capper, Republican, of Kansas, and other leading Re publicans. administration managers held to their belief the Senate would pass the bill extending the President's power to make such treaties. Earlier Senator Austin, Republican, of Vermont attacked the trade act as a measure “centralizing governmental functions in the hands of the Ex ecutive.” He said it was the duty of Congress to fix taxes and ratify treaties, but that this power had been handed to the President. * Borah conceded that onlf 156,000 head of Canadian cattle entered the country in 1936, and added “it may be true there was no permanent or universal injury to the domestic cat tle market,” but he asked, “why admit any when we had a surplus in this country?” “The American market belongs ex clusively to the American farmer to the full extent of his ability to supply it,” he added. Borah asserted the only “sound” trade program was one which brought into the country only those things which are not produced here and which goes beyond is no longer on a sound principle ot international trade. ' He declared America's favorable trade balance had dropped $231, 000.000 to $34,*00,000 between 1935 and 1936. honored'BY HAITI Capt. Stuart, T7. S. N., Directed American Mission in Island. Capt.

Tax Assessment Of $129,960 Levied Against 6Pauper99 By the Associated Press. An income tax assessment of $129. 960 has been levied against Joseph Rose. New York ' pauper” who was found living on home relief while he possessed a hidden fortune in dia- j monds. the Board of Tax Appeals has announced. The Government action followed disclosures which resutled when the 64-year-old former diamond merchant accused his friend. Louis Gorelick. of taking from him $250,000 in gems. Police investigating Rose's charges discovered in startling sequence that: 1. Rose had drawn $384 in home relief funds in Brooklyn during 1936. 2. That he had more than $250,000 in diamonds hoarded in several safety deposit boxes in New York and New Jersey. Rose said he assumed the role of a pauper because he feared his wife, from whom he had become estranged, might attemprt to attach his wealth. As a result of the police investiga tion Rose was arrested on charges of defrauding the Home Relief Bureau, Gorelick was released and sued Rose for defamation of character and Mrs. Rose announced her intention to press charges of non-support against her husband. CHANGE IfUOURI Direct Strong Resolution to Garner and Heads of Committees. The preachers’ meeting of the Wash ington district of the Methodist Epis copal Church today was on record against President Roosevelt's proposal to increase the number of Supreme Court justices. In a strongly worded resolution di rected to Vice President Oarner and the chairmen of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, the clergymen voiced "vigorous protest’’, against the President’s plan, contending it "would repudiate the fundamental principles of the Constitution.” The resolution, adopted Monday, was drawn up by a committee composed of Rev. Frank W. Collier, professor of philosophy at American University; Rev. William A- Haggerty of Rosedale Methodist Episcopal Church, and Rev. Ralph D. Smith. Woodside Episcopal Church. • f It urged the Washington Federation cf Churches, with which the organiza tion. comprising clergymen of 60 churches in the Capital and vicinity, is affiliated, to ask other member bodies to express opposition to the court re vamping plan "and to petition the Con gress to seek changes as may be nec essary by plain, direct appeal to the people." Any method of changing the funda mental law by indirection, the resolu tion stated, "is a violation of democ racy, and thus is politically reprehen sible. a betrayal of trust and, hence, profoundly immoral.” The text of the protest follows: "The message of President Franklin D. Roosevelt to the Seventy-fifth Con gress. with a bill attached, proposing an increase in the number of Justices of the Supreme Court, calls for vig orous protest by all Americans who prize our democratic heritage enjoyed for over 150 years. “We, therefore, the members of the Preachers’ Meeting of the Washing ton District of the Methodist Episco pal Church, make our protest on the ground that what. the President asks for would repudiate the fundamental principles of the Constitution, namely, the threefold division of powers—ex ecutive. legislative and judicial—which safeguard our system of checks and balances. In this American plan, the powers are co-ordinate and independ ent. and the verdict of history is that Individual liberty Is thus best pre served.

"The fundamental law, as embodied in the Constitution, has been changed in the past, and may be changed in the future; but it can be properly changed only by direct appeal to the people, as provided in the Constitu tion Itself. Any method of change by indirection is a violation of de mocracy, and thus is politically rep rehensible, a betrayal of trust, and hence, profoundly immoral. “If there be a present need for change, the people should be appealed to directly. No mandate has been given by the people for what the President asks. To grant his re quest would be a betrayal of trust by the Congress and a surrender of its legislative function. This may pos sibly result in Irreparable harm to America, to democracy and thus to civilization. "And we request the Washington Federation of Churches to call upon other affiliated bodies to protest through the federation the action of the President, and to petition the Congress to seek changes as may be necessary by plain, direct appeal to the people. Thus the desired end can be attained without illegally hamper ing the Supreme Court, the constitu tional bulwark of the personal, politi cal and religious liberties of the Amer ican people." PROPOSES HOLIDAY Congress today had received a pro posal to declare the birthday of Thomas Jefferson a legal holiday. Representative John J. Boylan, New York City Democrat, introduced a joint resolution declaring the birthday, April 13. a legal holiday of the character of other legal holidays. The resolution also would authorize the President to request Governors of the States to take action “to bring about observance.” , dni If Your Watch Is Worth * Repairing —It It worth ropoMat pro perl/, lot art rare of Oport work ■nooohlo aaP ftlt prim boro.
