LEGISLATORS DROPWARREN FINANCE PLAN Proposal To Solve Finan cial Tangle Rejected and Special Levy Talked of To Raise Money. The Frank M. Warren plan for solving the state's financial prob lem haB been dropped. With some variations the legislature will be asked to appropriate money and raise new revenues on the basis decided upon by the ways and means committee last week. This is the latest development concern ing the financial situation. The Warren scheme to segregate appropriations already approved by the ways and means committee Into essentials and non-essentials, and call a special election in June on the question of levying a tax to cover the non-essential list, late yesterday resolved itself into a matter of personal opinion on what is essential and what Is not, a question on which no group of men can agree. There Is still a possibility that the legislature may try to make a special levy anywhere from a half to one mill. This depends on whether the tobacco tax is adopt ed. If all other revenue producing bills are passed and the tobacco tax not adopted the state will still be short about $800,000 and the direct levy will be necessary.

Referring to national defennr problems, General lllnes said, "there are Just hree possible solu tions." The firet was to wait un til war came and then "pay the full price"; tho second to "try to lirepare hurriedly at great cost and waste when war Is imminent, :.nd third to "build according to a program year by year, which Is the only economical sound way."
