Prospects Brighten forj
Saturday Adjournment j
WASHINGTON. Aug. 19. P The ;
senate passed today the admlnlstra- I
tlon's tax avoidance bill, designed to
plug loopholes through which the
government has lost about $100,000,
000 revenue annually.
With passage by the house last 1
night of the $526,000,000 low cost
housing bill, prospects brightened for
adjournment of congress by Satur
day, j
Changes Made '
The senate bill, authorizing federal
loans and grants for state and mu
nicipal housing projects, was changed
drastically by the house before it
voted approval last night. 374 to 86.
As a result, a committee must ad
Just the differences In the house and
senate versions before the bill can
go to the White House. A wrangle
was in prospect, but sponsors ex
pressed certainty an agreement would
be reached.
The housing program was the final
measure on the Roosevelt program
which Democratic leaders decided
could be salvaged. Much of the ad-
ministration legislation crop control,
wage-hour, and government reorgan
isation has been deferred to the next
srsslon. J

Approval after a brief and almost
perfunctory debate, the non-controversial
tax avoidance measure was

atlon of minor senate amendments, j

the senate finance committee told his
colleagues the legislation would check
the use of personal holding companies,
foreign corporation, multiple trust,
ind incorporation of personal talent 1
to avoid Income tax liability. j
It was drafted at the president's :
request, after a Joint congressional 1
committee had Investigated score of
corporate devices ued to escape tax

ord vote a few minutes alter the sen- 1
ate convened. Not a single provision
was questioned.

DECISIVE BATTLE
E
(Continued from Page One.)
He declared that because of the
suit one $260,000 development 'In
the county had been postponed or
canceled. He cited another Instance
where a $25,000 payment to be made
on a mine In the county was with
drawn on the day that news of filing
the Curry county suit was published.
The legislative fight to curb mines
in muddying waters of the Rogue
and the suit to prohibit it entirely,
he said, means life or death to all
mining in this district and will
proportionately affect all other busi
ness. Last year's mining trade In
this county was estimated at $600,-000.
