Group Divided
• On Levy Plans
WASHINGTON, Nov 25.—P) —
Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich) gave
qualified endorsement today to the
e idea broached by President Roose-
velt of levying special taxes to pay
for emergency defense costs.
At his press conference at Warm
Springs, Ga, yesterday Mr. Roose-
A velt posed for public discussion the
question whether such outlays
should be placed on a pay-as-you-
go basis with special taxes to pay
for them or met by further borrow-
ing with no new taxes
• Senator Vandenberg, a member of
the senate finance committee,
which handles tax legislation, told
reporters’ he agreed emphatically
that extraordinary defense expendi-
tures should be on a pay-as-you-
a go basis."
• Such outlays, he added, should
be "paralleled by special taxes
to pay for them because of the
obvious reason that sound pub-
lic credit is the greatest national
defense necessity of all."
a But Senator King of Utah, rank-
P ing democratic member of the same
committee, said he opposed "enor-
mous expnditures for the army and
navy" and any plan to "compart-
mentalize" the budget, lest it lead
to larger appropriations
• Chairman Harrison (D-Miss) of
the committee would not disclose his
views. He did say, however, that if a
tax were levied for a specific pur-
pose the purpose" would probably,
have to be omitted from the law to Coloman Man Hoadc

WHERE, BUT A T COLLEGE?—Give four ardent college football fans a big game to spur

Are Deadlocked
NEW YORK. Nov. 25.—(PP)— The
footballers who play for pay in the
National league seem to have been
playing for fun; at least the sched-
ule is in a fair way of being com-
pleted without a champion in eith-
er the eastern or the western di-
vision.
At the moment, Washington and
New York are deadlocked in the
east, and Green Bay is pursued so
closely in the west by the Chicago
Bears and the Detroit Lions that a
three-way tie is possible when the
season closes a week from Sunday.
The last full-course menu is be-
ing offered tomorrow with Detroit
and Washington slewing in the
main dish but the league's club
owners,are so fearful the remaining
games only will complicate the sit-
uation that they have called a ways-
and-means meeting for Tuesday.
This session will be held in Pitts-
burgh. and the topic will be what to
do if sectional playoffs delay the
championship game now set for
Sunday, Dec. 10, at a site to be se-
lected by the western representative.
The location of the big game may
become a major issue, for should the
contest be delayed until late De-
cember. the weather prospects would
be so uncertain that some of the
prospective competitors, particular-
ly the Green Bay Packers, might,
find it inadvisable to hold the game
anywhere near home.
Tomorrows program calls for De-
1 trolt to invade Washington, the
Packers at Cleveland, Brooklyn at
New York. Philadelphia at Pitts-
burgh and the Bears and Cardi-
nals in Chicago.
When this firing is finished only
three games will be left to play—
Washington at New York. Green
Bay at Detroit and Philadelphia and
Cleveland at Colorado Springs. Colo.,
the following Sunday.
