should either give private utilities the same break as public power districts or turn all utilities over to the public districts," Oreenamyre declared. "This bill proposed by Sen. Howard la unworkable." The Norfolk senator argued that Howard's proposal would go "only hallway." The only fair way to tax power interest, he said, would be on the basis of kilowatt production. "I know Senator Howard h) atneere in hi attempt to solve this problem, bat this amendment would not solve the problem, he said. "In all fairness should decide whether these power interests are to be taxed.

Oreenamyre complained that under the present law, municipal power properties were tax exempt, hydro psld "in lieu of taxes" and private power properties were subject to direct taxation. Howard rose In defense of his bill, which would submit to a vote in the 1942 general election the question of whether property removed from the tax rolls by public power and Irrigation districts should be taxed. This legislator certainly tmt eeadotw th removel property from the Ux lists," Howard amid.

It would however, tax municipal power plants acquired by the districts, he explsmed. "All three publle power die-trleta la Nebraska hare pasted retentions agreeing to pay amounts In Ilea of taxes," Howard continued. "If they are sincere, what la wrong with confirming these resolutions by panlng this bill and giving the people a chance lo make this promise to pay certain? "Why should this power district property be given a special status and be Ux exempt?" he asked. "It la revenue-producing property." Sen. E.

M. Neubauer, Orleans, said he had been advised from Washington that passage of the Howard amendment would "stop every project in the Republican river valley." All specifications for these reclsmstion and flood control projects would hsve to be revised, he said. Sen. Richsrd N.

LONDON U-The government of Prime MinistehWinston Church-ill today opened Britain's full dress war policy debate with the asser-tion that equipment sufficient to rearm completely Britain's Balkan expeditionary force has reached Egypt and "with ever increasing help from America, we are hoping to send more and more support." The' assertion was made by Lord Moyne, government leader in the House of Lords, is Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden defended the Balkan campaign before the House of Commons. Eden said aid to Greece was necessary If Britain's war of Ideals wu to be carried oat and asserted that Greer had advised London of her Intention to fight Germany atom It British help was not given. Eden put blame tor much of the Balkan debacle upon the Jugoslav government of Prince Regent Paul, which he charged had deceived Britain as to the extent to which Jugoslav armies had been mobilised.

"It Is true," he said, "that wo lost material In Greece far we only were able to evacuate light equipment and had to Sleatroy ear heavy armaments bat meanwhile larger quantities than lost had tim to arrive at Red Sea porta. "With the erer nerwarng help from America we are hoping to aend more and more sop-port to the battle of tho middle east on which the Axia seems to be staking so much." Moyne placed British casualties In the "eastern theater" at not more than 11.500, most of which were troops cut off from reembark- ation from Greece He put Italian losses in Africs st 380,000 white and native trocps, including 200.000 prisoners. German losses in Greece, he asserted, were far hesvier thsn "the ridiculous estimates" of Adolf Hitler. Moyne predicted that when Hitler reorganizes his troops "after the delaying actions fought in Greece, he will find a large force awaiting him which during these precious months has been freed from the tasks of cleaning up the remnants of his ally in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Discussing Britain's position In the middle east.

Eden aaid: 1 Britain Is completely confident of Tarkey's loyalty to her alliance with Britain. Britain will not negotiate with Ira, until and nnleoa Iraqi troops are withdrawn around Habbanlya and hoitilltlea cease.
