any attempt In the house to In

In a statement Issued aa the

Green announced that the book
waa closed there to any further
pleas for tax relief. The treasury,

This Is taken to mean that the
committee Intends to stand on the
rate schedules as now adopted and
furthermore, that vigorous opposi

Referring to proposala for total
reductions ranging from $350,000,

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.
James W. Gerard hopes that 4s
one ot the major parties will
nominate either a Catholic 4
or a Jew tor president.
Presiding at a meeting of
the Jewish meeting forum
last night, he said such a
condition would "do away
with the miserable spirit ot
Intolerance which has grown
up In the land,'" '
With the expression of his
hopes, the former Democra-

gave the following warning:
"When any one race goes
to a political convention and
demands recognition tor one
man because ot this religion
or that race, it Is increasing
Intolerance."
