WASHINGTON. Jan. 18-flV
Senator Bo rata (R-Ida) - stepped
Into the sixxllng controversy over
, the amount to be appropriated
for work relief today with a rig
orous statement against catting

He took this stand while a sen

as to whether the. appropriation
should be $875,000.(100 asked by
tbe chief executive and WPA,
$725,000,000 roted by the honse,
or. some other figure. The appro
priation ' is intended to finance

While conceding that a swell of
, opposition to reducing the appro

leaders were definitely of the
opinion that, thus far at least, it
was not strong enough to put the
$871,000,000 appropriation
through the senate.
Senator, McNary (R-Ore) the
" republican floor leader, predicted
the bouse figure of $725,000,000
would be left unchanged. In the

and reduce it. He , himself, he

Insurgents - Close in on

Perilous Sea Journey Is
Attempted ; Changes in

(By tho Associated Press)
While Spanish insurgents . clos
ed In farther on the government
capital - of Barcelona yesterday,
France bowed' to British pressure
and agreed definitely to withhold
aid from the embattled govern
ment defenders.
The French cabinet. Informed
sources said, decided to-keep the
Spanish frontier closed to supplies
that would aid the government
forces, doing so - "reluctantly"
rather than risk British displeas
ure.
Britain, for her part, held stead
fastly to the non-intervention
plan. Prime Minister Chamber
lain declined a laborite request to
summon parliament to discuss aid
for government Spain. ' He said
Britain would continue to assist
unofficial organizations working
tor relief of Spanish civilians.
The French decision, was made
despite a growing fear in Paris
that an insurgent victory would
give Italy a strong foothold in
Spain. The cabinet acted at a long
meeting at which it considered the
plea ot a considerable section of
French opinion that help should
be given to Barcelona.

qnartet ot federal officials urged

They appeared before a special

Added Revenue to State
Would Be $500,000
With Other Tax
Single Persons Earning
Over $800 per Year
Would Pay Tax
A new Income tax law for Ore
gon, designed to produce 50Moo
additional revenue, when coupled
with a change In the corporate ex
cise tax aad amendment of tho in
tangibles tax law, was being pre
pared yesterday for Introduction
in the legislature. The state tax
commission was framing the tax
as one of three measures designed
to carry out the tax recommends- -tlons
of Governor Charles A.
Sprague.
The new tax law would strike
hardest on persons with smaller
bracket incomes by changing the
system now In force for comput
ing personal exemptions.
The proposed change in the in
come tax, coupled with a stiffen
ing of the corporate excise tax, ,
would produce 81,850,000. taxjof
ficials estimate. Loss of revenue
from the intangibles tax la esti-'
mated at 81,350,000 leaving a net
gain to the' state of 8500,000.
Exemption Allowed
For Wife, Dependent
Single persons earning less than
1800 a year and married persons
with Incomes less than 81.500
would continue to be untaxed.
Exemptions, however, would bo
replaced by a new system, under
which a taxpayer c o a 1 d deduct
from his net tax 835 for wife
and 88 tor each dependent. "
For instance, it a married man
earns 8 2,5 OS a. year a dor the
proposed law he would figure his
tax on the entire Income- which
would be 879. . From this he
would deduct-his married fined
credit of 835. and pay a 335 tax.
If he has a child, he would' pay
