HOUSE DEBATES
Members Argue Over Ques
tion of Making Public
Data on Evaders.
Bj the Associated Press.
House members argued today over
the desirability of making public all
the information disclosed in the forth
coming congressional inquiry into tax
dodging.
The Rules Committee inserted in
the resolution creating an investi
gating committee, an amendment
which Chairman O'Connor described
as a "deterrent to publicity.”
It would delete authority for the in
vestigators to make public information
brought to light from tax returns and
similar documents.
Some Representatives, however, said
they would oppose the amendment
during debate this afternoon. They
pointed out that publicity was one
nf the principal weapons which the
administration wishes to use against
alleged tax evaders.
Would Not Ban Publicity.
They indicated a preference for
the resolution as adopted by the
Senate in response to President Roose
velt's request to check tax dodging.
Chairman O'Connor said the amend
ment, although not erecting a rigid
shield against publicity, would "more
or less serve notice that this informa
tion should not tie made public.”
It would not prevent disclosure in
open hearings, he added, of the names
of wealthy tax evaders or facts about
their methods or incomes.
The Rules Committee also voted to
delete authorization for the investi
gating committee, should it choose to
do so, turning over its work to Treas
ury officials or employes.
Rill to Be Drafted Soon.
Speaking to the Rules Committee
Just before It amended the resolution
yesterday. Chairman Doughton of the I
Ways and Means Committee said the
resolution was drawn under the Presi
dent's direction.
"I don't want to argue with you,”
he said. "I’ve talked this over with
the President and Secretary of the
Treasury. If you wrant to take an
antagonistic attitude, that's your re
sponsibility.” *
He said that as soon as the investi
gators obtained facts justifying action,
a bill would be introduced to curb at
least some methods of tax dodging.
Senators from seven of eight "com
munity property" States joined mean
while to “fight any attempt that may
be made to prevent the filing of sepa- !
rate income tax returns by husband j
and wife." as mentioned in the mes
sage from President Roosevelt dealing j
with tax evasion and other tax losses. I
Single Return Fought.
Under community property laws
husband and wife hold an equal right j
to income and property, and therefore
the Supreme Court has decided they
may file separate returns.
Senator Schwellenbach. Democrat,
of Washington asserted after the con
ference that the community property j
States would not tolerate any attempt |
to force the filing of a single return as
required in dower right States.
Other Senators attending the con- (
ference were McAdoo of California, i
Ashurst and Hayden of Arizona, Hatch
of New Mexico, Ellender of Louisiana, |
Pope of Idaho and Connally of Texas. '

HITLER INCREASES FLEET.
Cruiser and Submarines Expected In
Spanish Waters Today.
BERLIN. June 3 t^5).—An authori
tative source reported today that
Chancellor Adolf Hitler had dis
patched a fleet of German U-boats to
Spanish waters as a "preparedness
measure" to defeat any Spanish gov
ernment attack with overwhelming
force.
Der PuehreT was said to have de
termined to be ready for any eventu
ality in the Spanish crisis, no matter
what action the London Non-Inter
vention Committee decided on in an
swer to his demand for "adequate”
protection of German warships.
This, the authoritative source said,
was the meaning of the rapid rein
forcement of the Reich battle fleet
off the coast of Spain.
HitleT's aim was disclosed to be a
war force strong enough not only to
resist any future attack such as that
last Saturday in which 26 sailors
aboard the cruiser Deutschland were
killed, but to repel with overwhelming
force even more ambitious attacks,
should they be launched by the
Spanish government.
The cruiser Leipzig and the sub
marines U-28, U-33, U-34 and U-35
were expected to reach a secret
rendezvous in Spanish waters today.
Two torpedo boats, the Tiger and
the litis, it was officially announced,
left their home ports today and sailed
for Spain as additional reinforce
ments.
Later the official German News
Agency, Deutsches Nachrichtenburo,
asked newspapers to withdraw the an
nouncement that the Tiger and the
litis had sailed, and announced in
stead that "parts of the third torpedo
boat flotilla left Wilhelmshafcn for
Spanish waters ”
The agency said the cruiser Cologne
will follow soon and "thereby the re
inforcement of German naval forces
in Spanish waters will be completed
for the present.’’
Position Not Disclosed.
No information has been disclosed
on the position of the German fleet
already in the Mediterranean since it
steamed out of Almeria harbor Mon
day morning after partly destroying
the Spanish port city in retaliation for
the bombing of the Deutschland.
Its strength, before the arrival of
the reinforcements, was believed to
consist of the pocket battleships
Admiral Scheer and Deutschland, the
second torpedo boat flotilla, and a
number of auxiliary vessels.
Each of the four submarines, suc
cessors to the type of U-boat that
brought the United States into the
World War by attacking neutral ship
ping, is heavily armed.
In addition to one 4-inch gun and
one anti-aircraft machine gun, they
have five torpedo tubes.
Italian Aid Hailed.
Rome dispatches showing the close
co-operation of Italy and Germany,
particularly to the effect that Premier
Mussolini will hold his fleet in Span
ish waters where it could be of aid
to Nazi warships, were received with
satisfaction.
The press emphasized that Ger
many's policy In connection with the |
Spanish war must be to rely on her
own strength pending the outcome of
the deliberations of the 27-natkm
Non-intervention Committee In Lon
don.
The German fleet in Spanish
waters, commanded by Admiral Her
mann Von Fischel. was under ordeis
to fire on any menacing Spanish war
ship or airplane at the first sign of
attack.
Chancellor Hitler outlined his
policy of individual action last night
to a gathering of Nazi party leadeis
from all sections of the country.
Tire meeting was closed but Der
Fuehrer was known to have declared j
In a two-hour speech that Germany's \
armed strength and the strength of
her leadership were necessary to the !
recovery of world power and prestige.

Would Establish Safety
Zones for Neutral Ships
in Spanish Waters.
Bs the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 3.—Great Britain
today laid a three-point program be
fore France, Italy and Germany to
restore the broken naval ring around
Spain.
She suggested:
1. That safety zones for neutral
ships be established in Spanish waters.
2. That the Spanish government
and the insurgent administration be
asked to guarantee protection of war
ships of the patrolling powers.
3. That Britain, France, Italy and
Germany consult immediately if a
warship of any of them Is attacked.
Germany gave no advance warning
to the other powers when her ships
shelled the Spanish government port
of Almeria Monday in retaliation for
an attack on the German pocket
battleship Deutschland.
Then she and Italy quit the in
ternational committee which has been
trying to keep out foreign arms and
volunteers by peaceful measures—su
pervision of what went into Spain by
naval and land patrols.
Reports from both Berlin and
Rome were believed to indicate there
would be no serious opposition to the
return of Germany and Italy to active
participation in the non-intervention
patrol guarding the Spanish coast.
