As a result of opposition led by Senator Jnhnson, republican, California, the stiate late today voted to recommit the nomination of David H. Blair of Winston-Salem. N. C, for internal revenue commissioner to the senate finance committee, with instructions tn. investigate Mr. Blair's quallfica tions. The fiKht against Mr. Blair de vtloped considerable republican op piieaion, principally over his cours i! a delegate at the republican na ilnnnl convention at Chicago las' J une. Violation of the North Carolina pri mary law by Mr. Blair was said to have been charged in executive Bea ninn bv Senator Johnson. .lilr. Blair was chosen as a dele Fai e to a state convention.

Senator Johnson issued a statement in -which he said: "I am opposed to the confirmation of Mr. Blair. My objection is oasea on tw-o grounds: First, he was a del egate to the republican national con vention bound under the law of North Carolina to vote for the can didate receiving the majority of votes in the presidential preference pri mary. I received three times as many votes as my opponent. Blair, as delegate to the national convention did not obey the primary. He vio iated the law and betrayed his peo pie.- He is now nominated to the most important administrative office in the United States. "He administers tax, prohibition and other laws. A man who will vio late his own state's law is unfit to administer the nation's laws. : Income Tax Involved. "The second objection to Mr. Blair, because of a secrecy maintained con cerning income tax returns, is in volved in some obscurity. Mr. Blair's father-in-law is one of the richest but' not therichest man in North Carolina. He sought by forming partnership with his family to lessen his income tax. He was required to pay and it is asserted he did pay the full amount claimed by the govern ment and the members of his family as partners have sought a refund. some hundreds of thousands of dol lars have been at stake. "Mr. Blair ought not to be put in a position where he is in the slightest degree connected with refunds due hia wife, his father-in-law and other relatives.". The amount of tax refunds involved in the treasury department case is said to be around il.OOO.OOO.

President Harding's views were given to Senator Poindexter and Sen ator Hale, republican, Maine, of the sub-committee in charge of the ap propriation measure. Free Hand la Wanted. The president, it was stated, ex pressed himself as desirous of "ap proximate disarmament," but was represented as opposing any sugges tion from congress which might em barrass executive action or to appear to convey a congressional recommen dation on international policies with in jurisdiction of the executive. Sen ator Poindexter stated such a request as proposed by the Borah plan would be advisory merely. It is also understood that the president reiterated his opinion that ample, immediate appropriations should be provided to continue the 1916 naval building programme with a view to rounding out the navy prior to establishment of a disarmament programme. -Amendments Held Certain. That virtually all of the amend ments aggregating $100,000,000, added at the last session to the house bill which failed of passage in the senate would be readopted by the committee was predicted by Senator Poindexter. The chief items added last March and the subject of controversy which caused failure of the bill in the sen ate were for naval aviation, for new Pacific coast bases and for hastening completion of the building pro gramme. Increased funds for complet ing two to four capital ships under construction also are in prospect, Sen ator Poindexter said. Extensive hearings are not regard ed by the committee as necessary be cause of the exhaustive study made last winter, when virtually the same bill was presented.

'I have awaited with great interest my visit to Portland, for I felt if a suitable rose could be found any where it would be in the Rose City," said Mr. Beban. "I had heard of Mr. Currey many times before, as he has a national reputation as a rosarian, but when I .called on him today I was surprised to find him instead of a florist, an engineer, daily en gaged in designing and selling steel. It reveals a wonderful sentiment in a busy professional man, and if only more of our business men would take time to encourage rose culture we would have more beautiful homes, and naturally more beautiful home life would follow." Mr. Currey has announced that he will get in touch with rose growers not only in this country but in France and England to see if any superior to those two specimens tentatively chosen from the Portland test gar dens can be found.
