LABOR PAPER RAPS MOVE TO END_PRIMARY Defeat for Democrats Is Predicted If Repeal Is Accomplished. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—“1f the Democrats of Indiana repeal the direct primary they will be kicked out of office just as soon as the people can get to them. And it will be more 1 than 18 years before they return to : power again.” This prediction concludes an editorial attack on the proposed con- ! gresional primary repeal, contained in the Hoosier Democratic platform, I appearing today in Labor, newspaper of the Railway Brotherhoods published here. The editorial points out that Indiana Democrats had been “wander- | ing in a political wilderness for 18 years” before coming into present power. It cites the “temperate protest” against repeal voiced by Congressman Louis Ludlow and says: “He might have added that when- ! ever the people of any state have had an oportunity to vote on a pro- | posal to weaken the primary, it always has been overwhelmingly defeated.”

CONGRESS WILL ‘SPARE’ ARMY, NAVY_BUDGETS Treaty Strength for Fighting Forces Is Goal of Administration. Editor’s Note—This is the tenth of a series on the Congressional outlook. BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—The Army and Navy budgets are expected this year to escape the Administration’s economy program. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are being trimmed from expense estimates for other departments of government. But President Roosevelt evidently intends to reorganize the Army and build the Navy to treaty strength with as little delay as possible. So far in this calendar year the Army and Navy have spent in excess of $508,000,000. In addition to these “ordinary expenditures,” PWA since September, 1933, has allocated approximately $370,000,000 to the military services. The fund is drawn upon as it is needed for ship construction. Army mechanization and improvement of military posts. Army Posts Improved The Navy obtained $277,339,000 from PWA, of which $238,000,000 was earmarked for ship construction. The Army’s share of PWA funds was $92,735,000, most of which is being used for improvement of Army posts. The Naval Bureau of Aeronautics and the Army Air Corps each received allotments of $7,500,000. Plans to take the profits out of war and otherwise bolster world peace are not expected to diminish national defense expenditures next year. The PWA allocation was for a three-year building program. Additional funds will be required to lift the Navy to the strength permitted by the London Naval Treaty. Although Japan is scheduled before New Year's to denounce that limitations agreement, the fighting ship levels prescribed remain for the time being the objective toward which the Navy is building. Shortage Remains The Navy still will be short of treaty strength by 7? ships as fol low; 75 submarines and destroyers; one aircraft carrier; two light cruisers. “It is to be hoped,” Navy Secretary Swanson said in his annual report, “that Congress will COiit inue to appropriate the necessary funds from year to year for the replacement of these vessels.” War Secretary George H. Dern also recommended military expansion in his annual report. He urged

U. S, TAXPAYERS TO BEREVEALED Treasury Opposed, Fearing Roll Will Be Sucker List for Crooks. By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—The 1934 revenue act. requiring publication of individual and corporate incomes. is to be placed in operation March 15, 1935, it was learned today. Treasury officials were disclosed as frankly apprehensive swindlers may reap a harvest from among the 3,500 000 names of persons and companies having large incomes in 1934. It is expected to afford them an easy check on their “sucker lists.” Agitation to keep the income lists secret failed when Guy T. Helvering, internal revenue commissioner, ordered his collectors to begin operating under the 1934 revenue act on the date when income tax returns covering the present calendar year are filed. The new regulations require that every person filing an income tax return must fill out a special blank showing the person's name, address, total gross income, total reduction, net income and tax payable.
