History Professor Blames Lincoln
WA8HINOTON, June 3 lP Dr. Charles C. Tanslll, Ocorgqtown
university history professor, blames- Abraham. Lincoln for the Civil war.
Lincoln, he told a meeting of Confederate organizations, "tricked"
tho South Into starting the strife. i
Tanslll was spenker at a wreath-laying ceremony at a statue ot
Jofferson Davis, Confederate president, ' In the United States capttol
yesterday. ' ! '
He asserted Lincoln "played fast and' loose" with Southerners "In
ordor to trick them Into a bombardment" ot Fort Sumpter and make
thorn appear "the aggressors." '
"The responsibility for the Civil war," he asserted, "rests securely
upon only one pair ot shoulders and those shoulders belonged to Abra
ham Lincoln."
Subsequently Fred P. Myers, commander of tho Sons of Confederate
Veterans told reporters "I think he went too far I don't think he
should have made such an attack on Lincoln."

Rain Threat
To Corn Crop
CHICAOO, June 3 lP A wet
spring In the mid-western corn belt
was causing apprehension today over
the ouUook for the country's two
most Important feed grains corn
and oats.
Both grains are essential in the
food economy because they are fed
to farm animals to produce meat,
milk, cheese and other foods.
With Uie farm lands in parts of
Illinois and Iowa under water, crop
experts said that corn planting, al
ready late, will be further delayed.
The danger In this situation arises
from the possibility that an early
frost might catch the crop this
autumn.
Some grain men feel that Uie late
season can be made up by the plant
ing of hybrid seed corn, now almost
universally used In the corn belt,
as well as the use of mechanised
equipment.
Oraln dealers reported that of the
104 cars of wheat received at Fort
Worth, Texas, yesterday, 90 to 05
cars were new crop.

Democrats
Expect Veto

WASHINGTON, June 1 W) The
HOM.OOO.OOg-a-year income tax cut
cleared the eenate today and headed
for the White House, where it fate
la uncertain.
The compromise bill, worked oat
by a botne-senate committee, patted
the senate br a 48 to 2 rote, abort
of the two-thirds majority which
would be required to override a veto.
It Won bouse approval yesterday
22 to 99, more than tbe required
two-fiirda. Bat each home would
bare to run op a two-thirds tally to
make the bill law over President
Truman's disapproval.
Some of the democrats opposed to
the legislation expect a veto In Uie
next few days. Mr. Truman re
peatedly has expressed his opposl
Uon to a tax reducUon this year.
The measure calls for cuts In In
dividual Income taxes ranging from
10.5 to 30 per cent, effective July 1.
Challenge Made
Before Uie senate acted. Senator
Ta-'t IR-Ohlo) declared that Mr.
Truman can't afford to veto the
bill. The republican policy com
mittee chief asserted that, such a
step would put the chief execuUve
"definitely on Uie side of high taxes
and high expenses."
Taft declared In a statement
that "all Uie spenders want to keep
the tax receptta up to $40,000,000,000
In order to maintain a high standard
of government spending."
"The quicker we can revile our
alghts downward, the lower we can
keep expenditures," Taft said. Be
aaara:
"Furthermore, the determination
of tax policy has always been
peculiarly the function of congress
and the house, of representatives,
just as foreign policy Is peculiarly
the function of the president.
"Tbe president ought not to veto
this bill unless he regarda it as a
dangerous threat to the welfare of
the country, which it obviously is
not."
The bill Is exrjected to come tro
In Uie senate today for final action
which will send
It to the White
House. The house oassed it yester
day, 220 to 99.

Boy Accidentally
Hangs Himself
NEW YORK, June 3 MV-Eight-year-old

hanged himself last night, police
said, while showing two compan
ions the penalty for violaUng the
code of their "secret society."

Both the boys and Uie girl gave
similar stories ot the incident on
the stand and the girl admitted un

WASHINGTON. June 3 OPV-The
government issued a call today for
more seasonal workers to help farm

wartime proportions.
Despite the return ot many vet
en8 nd war plant workers to
agriculture, there still Is a shnrtu.
of manpower for such seasonal oo
araUons as planting and harvesUng.
The department said surveys in
dicated that the' l947 farm labor
supply will be Bt about the 1943
level somewhat better than Uie ow
point reached in late 1943, but still
short of pre-war.
' It said the accent is being- placed
on employment of domestic workers
because farmers prefer them. Some
foreign help will be needed this year
In sugar beets and some other crops,
but this force will be smaller than
last year. Unlike last year, no pris
