Six Million to Be Deported If Plan Develops
Washington June 22 A nation wide campaign for legislation to deport about six million aliens as a solution to unemployment was pressed today by 155 organizations. Representative Dies says the drive aims to organize ten million native born and naturalized citizens to push Congress on the Dies deportation bill. The plan, dubbed Twe Americans, is to be organized in each state on a non sectarian, non partisan basis with at least 150 Congressmen pledged in favor. The measure mirrors alien deportation laws in England and France.

Mine Workers of America Oppose Guffey Coal Measure
Washington June 22. William Keck president of the Progressive Mine Workers of America arrived to press before the house ways and means committee that the Guffey bill would demoralize a two year Illinois campaign and tilt labor representation toward John Lewis and affiliated unions. Keck and George Dowell said the Wagner bill would help their cause if miners received a square deal in elections. They planned to stay in Washington until final action on both bills.

Senators backing action before recess include many from the wealth tax faction, while a House majority opposes the Wagner labor disputes bill and Ways and Means members question the constitutionality of the Guffey coal bill.

Robinson calls for immediate tax plan to avoid long session
Senator Robinson urged enacting Roosevelt tax proposals now to prevent prolonged uncertainty until the next session. He said treating the matter separately from the revenue bill could avoid a cloud of delay, while Long pressed for swift action to break up concentrations of wealth. The scene shifted to debates over inheritance and corporate tax amendments and the administration's stalled program. In a separate report, Dallas Daves of Columbus, Ga., was treated in Rockwood, Tenn., after a truck crash with a severe head injury.
