(ff) A controversy within the Rev Charles K. Coughlin's National Union for Social Justice over whether Dr. Francis E. Townsend should address its convention tomorrow was settled today with an announcement by Coughlin that Townsend would speak to the delegates Saturday. That will be after the official close of the con vention, the Royal Oaks, Mich., priest said. Opposition to appearance of the founder of the old age pension move ment bad been raised by Walter D. Davis, convention marshal. "I want to keep the Notional Union ont of politics," Davis explained. In an open letter to delegates, Father Coughlin wrote: "If one out of VI apostles were Judas Iscariot it is an even bet that one out of 1200 delegates in the na tional convention will be a Corner Smith!" Smith, an Oklahoma City lawyer and member of the Townsend move ment's board of directors, attacked Coughlin and upheld President Roose. velt at the Townsend convention here a month ago. Other excerpts from the letter: "I am told that we will have present with us at Cleveland certain delegates who are on kissing terms with Frank lin Delano Roosevelt, together with a few others who are attempting a flir tation with Alfred Landon.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. OP) A torecast that taxes will not be in creased and may, in fact, be "slightly reduced," was made today by Secre tary Morgeuthau and congressional tax leaders after a conference with President Roosevelt. The treasury head, Chairman Pat Harrison of the Senate finance com mittee, and Chairman Doughton of the House ways and meanii commit tee, at a joint press conference that followed, said improved business con ditions had so fortified the treasury that no new or increased taxes will be necessary at the next session of congress. Fresh Studies Are Announced . They announced an immediate study of the whole tax structure, including the law enacted this spring placing corporate taxation upon a new basis to seek the elimination of "inequities" and "administrative difficulties" which may result in the cancellation of some of the miscellaneous "nuisance taxes." ' Harrison told reporters that if the administrative costs and difficulties of some specific taxes were found to be eo great that they could be re pealed with little loss of revenue, such action would be recommended. What taxes he had in mind, he did not say. - Nuisance Taxes May Go Morgenthau, however, told news men he referred to "miscellaneous taxes," commonly called "nuisance taxes." "Business improvement is at such a pace that we are going to reach a balanced budget much earlier than we expected," Harrison snid. Doughton said that "improvement in business all over the country has had two effects Tncrensed revenues and decreased relief costs,"' adding: "This is tending to bring expedi tures and receipts together, with re ceipts going up and expenditures coming down. Morgenthau's Report Morgenthau's recommendation was made in a letter to the President, dated August 10 which read, in full, as follows: "At your request the treasury de partment since the adjournment of of congress has been giving careful attention to the adquacy of the tax structure to meet the revenue needs of the government and generally to Arming Of Labor Militia Saves Government In Present Crisis FACTIONS CONFUSED SEE "NO NEW TAXES" PAGE 2 Anti-Royalty, Anti-Fascist Groups Combined In Loyalist Armies BREVITIES STATE PORTLAND, Aug. 13. The Portland chamber of commerce to day took stepB to warn residents of the drouth-stricken area and other portions of the middle-west against coming to Oregon in- search of em ployment. While the chamber modest ly admits that Oregon is a paradise on earth, it is anxious to correct the er roneous impression that there axe jobs of every kind available in the state. There are still many unemploy ed on the public employment rolls and except for seasonal jobs in the agri cultural sections, there is little work available.

By RALPH HE IN ZEN (t'nited Press Stuff Correspondent) (Copyright. HWO, by Vuited Press) SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, Aug. 13. (U.R) Battle lines are distinctly drawn in this war of Spaniards right against left but there is no truth in the belief that the right means fas cism and the left communism. Gov ernment as a national institution has been supplanted by correlated gov ernments. In Barcelona, in the northeast, a nyndicalist-communiRt anarchist-Cntn-loniau workers' committee reully rules, though the Genernlidad, the semi-autonOinous Catalouian govern ment, fitill stands. Militia Controls Madrid In M ltd rid, the Marxist militia has allowed the cubtnet to keep Its posi tion but the Popular Front militia really rules, for there are two work ers under arms in the capital for every national soldier of civil guards man. In Valencia, on the east coast, a workers' junta the junta de" levante rules with iron hand and autono mous powers delegated by the Madrid government. This junta took Alba cele for the government, thus open ing full communication with Madrid. War Committees Hold Power Here in San Sebastian and at San lander and Bilbao to the west the civil governor? still rule, as usual, in the name of the Madrid government. But in each city a popular front war emergency committee renlly is in power. Throughout that part of Spain which has been kept out of the hands of the insurgents the labor militia the real force in Spain today holds commerce, industry, shipping in its bands. The red flag flies over churches and convents, and armed guards at the doors of private pal aces or clubs warn that all have been seized in the name of labor. Workers' juntas run the railroads. Workers committees operate certain essential factories. Property Seizures General It Is only a question of how soon this control by workers' committees PORTLAND, Ore.. Aug. 13. (U.R) Employment on Oregon highway pro jects financed wholly or in part by the federal government reached au all- time high for the month of July, the bureau of public works announced to day.

PIN-BALL TAX VALUES UNDER National Commander Calls For New Plan For Public Service Only $1200 Assessed So Far On Official Records, Stevens Says PROBLEM INTRICATE PORTLAND, Aug. 13. OP) Port land police, city attorneys, and Uni ted States attorneys dug into law books today to determine if a law exists prohibiting the printing ot other emblems above the American flag. The occasion was the posting on telephone poles of posters advertising a talk by a member of the communist party and bearing the hammer and sickle flag above the stars and stripes. Although unable to find an prohibitory law. the police pulled the posters down as violating the city ordinance against posting bills on telephone poles. VALE, Ore.. Aug. 13. (P) Be tween 40 and 50 cars of potatoes, val ued at approximately $25,000, rolled out of Vale this week to markets de scribed by growers as "the best in years."

Hunter of Corvallis was fined $100 and sentenced in the jus tice court at Springfield, Thursday, to serve 30 days in the county jail on a drunken driving charge. His license was also suspended. Hunter was arrested Wednesday evening by Sheriff C. A. Swarts near the under grade crossing above West Spring field. The sheriff said Hunter's car had struck another one and damaged it to such an extent that a wrecker was sent for. Hunter then started hack toward Eugene and struck the wrecker on its way out to bring the 1 damaged car in. Hunter's car was Lane county's tax rolls for 1030 have au assessment value churged to the Eugene pin-ball industry of only $100, Welby Stevens, county nsessor fjaid Thursday. Stevens explained that this sum covered only office equipiueul, and is not concerned with the real property of the industry, set at nearly $10,000, ur with . the business, estimated at $100,000 annually. Thrco Firms Control Machines There are three distributing firms in Eugene. Assessment ag-iiust the olfice equipment of one came to $400; against another, $800. The third firm uas uot listed in business assessment at all. Promising immediate study, Stev ens issued a statement Thursday: "Every possible effort will bu made to run down these assessments. If t!?ey do not exist, then these machines v.m liable to sheriff's assessment as real property, aud such assessment will be made this year." Heads of two of the three firms, when approached Thursday, admitted that their machines had not been as sessed this year. One, an established firm that has handled much'.no for several yeurs, said that "as far as he knew, no assessment had been mude, The other ia a comparatively new firm started up one month ago, jind tho cfflcial of this firm asserted that he has had opportunity to be assessed. Most Maohtnes Owned Here As real property, the mochiues uru liible for assessment. According to til ft heads of the firms, these machines are bought outright from Portland or eastern retailers, and becdmo the per sonal property of the Eugene dis tributing firms. These machines cost from $-10 to $150, with $100 as an average price. Thus with the IKi ma chines in this city, the total lalue of the machines would he $0000, upon which no assessment has apparently been made. "The only explanation that can oover tho absence of any assessment on these machines, as I can sea, would be an oversight by the deputy as stssor, Stevens declared. He was scheduled to, confer with the deupty assessor, James A. Lockerbie, this week, to determine whether tho as hessments had been made.

By WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service Staff Correnpondnt HOUGH direct downfall did not follow the defpat of tbe great Ar mada, Spain declined from that day. It was a hollow bell, with venal and incompetent officials, stupid and bi goted rulers, and a people whose ev ery effort at industrial or agricultural progress was thwarted by taxation and a stifling bureaucracy. The Haps burg emperors used the country as a pawn in the European diplomatic game: domestic govern ment was weak and tyrannical at onre. A rebellion in Catalonia, which even today maintains great pride of locali ty, was savagely suppressed. Portu gal fell away without a fight, for when tbe Rraganxaa took charge there, the Kpe'ninb crown was en gaged in a fight with the French. Naples revolted, and the Thirty Years' War took a dresry toll of Spanish resources. Continual and bitter war fare was necessary to keep a foot hold in the Netherlands.

Allied troops took Bar celona, freed the Spaninh Netherlands, and invaded Spain itself through Por tugal. Even Madrid wns captured.

But her royal bouse made it position clesr it was against the revolution.
