OF CURRENT

Some Leaders Forecast Comeback in January, While

Others See Little Hope for Early Improvement; Undistributed-Surplus Tax Blamed.

By HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer

PITTSBURGH, Nov.

30.—Steel

industrialists differ

widely in their private views on the future extent and severity of the current business slump. One prominent anti-New Deal steel-maker, interviewed today, predicted that conditions in this basic industry would be bad for the rest of this year and for several months of 1938.

He is a low-cost producer with

modern mills, but he could see

little hope for early improvement.

Other steel men just as vitally hit by the drop in orders and production spoke hopefully of a comeback in January, after the stocks amassed during the summer and early fall by their customers have been exhausted. But they could mot specify where the orders were coming from, since automobiles, building and railroads, their principal customers, all appear to he headed for a depression diet of steel which will continue for some months. Whereas alarmed labor leaders place the blame on high steel prices and stoppages of Government spending, the steel-makers interviewed spoke of the New Deal's undistributed-surplus tax on corporations as a major reason. Some of the industrialists conceded that high prices may have stopped buying by consumers, 100. Blames New Deal

The most pessimistic steel spokesman interviewed, however, laid the whole blame at the New Deal's doorstep. He insisted that even President Roosevelt's recent cooperative gestures mean nothing tangible for frightened business to get its teeth in. This man said the depression is due to the following factors, in the order of their importance: 1. The Government's “demand” for complete unionization of industry.

| place added emphasis upon the im-

2. The Government's attitude of | “antagonism” toward businessmen. |

3. Specific measures, such as the | profits tax. Fe regards President Roosevelt's | recent promises as empty, in that Congress has not yet acted on any of them. “I'm waiting for something to be done,” this leader said. His prospects appear to be fairly representative of the steelmasters in general.

Advances Proposal

Ernest T. Weir, lodg-time foe of unions, successful challenger of the old NRA Labor Board, and currently a vigorous combatant of the Wagner Labor Act, today advanced a proposal which embodies this same viewpoint, In a speech prepared for delivery to the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, he dropped overboard the traditional cry for “less government in business.” Mr. Weir pleaded not only that the educational system be revised to

portance of government to business, and vice versa—he also pleaded with businessmen to go into Government, and to run for Congress, right away, in the 1938 campaign. As a reason for this reversal of the traditional hands-off attitude of businessmen toward politics, Mr. Weir said the tax bill of his National Steel Corp. this year amounts fo $4.50 per share of outstanding stock. “Business and Government today are almost synonymous terms,” he said. “The old feeling, once widely held among businessmen, that politics is dirty, or a waste of time, certainly has no validity now. The time to start is now, and the place to start is right in the home community.” Mr. Weir suggested that businessmen as Congressmen could “explain why actions should be taken, should not be taken, or should be modified without suspicion of grinding public axes.” His utterance was viewed here as suggesting a possibility that he himself might run for Congress. Mr. Weir is a Republican.” He is embroiled now in a Labor Board hearing that has run more than 11 weeks.

Japanese forces meantime were reported moving toward the Yangtse River from Kwangteh in an effort to cut off the Chinese retreat from Nanking to Hankow, the new capital. Foreign military experts reported that the Chinese defensive boom at Kiangyin, 80 miles northwest of Shanghai, had been opened and that warships and lighter transports were moving up the Yangtse toward Nanking. The Japanese have smashed their way to within about 75 miles of Nanking. A Japanese army spokesman asserted that the famous Kiangyin forts, a few miles above

The Japanese coiumn operating in the vicinity of Kwanagteh, about 80 miles southeast of Nanking, was believed to be moving directly west toward the Yangtse to cut off the capital from Hankow, where foreign ambassadors and many divisions of the Chinese Government are now located. Kwangteh was said to have fallen to Japanese forces moving west from the south end of Lake Tai. United States embassy attaches in Nanking were greatly concerned by the refusal of 32 American missionaries, newspaper men and news reel men to leave the all but abandoned capital.

U. S. Waits Official

News of Incident

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 (U. P). —State Department officials today awaited official advices from Consul General Clarence E. Gauss at Shanghai concerning a purported insult to the American flag by Japanese naval forces in the Whangpoo River. Action by this Government, it appeared, will be determined by nature of the incident, as revealed in official dispatches. Ordinarily governments are quick to protest any act of disrespect to their respective flags, and an act of disrespect by the uniformed forces of another nation is considered much more serious than a similar act by civilian nationals. The American Government today cabled the consul at Tientsin for confirmation of press reports that customs duties on a long list of Japanese products had been materially reduced at Tientsin. The reduction in the import duty on Japanese products, if made effective, would be considered by American officials as a breach of tariff treaties with China and of the historic “open door” policy maintained by this Government. Officials showed deep concern over the report, inasmuch as it followed closely the reported intention of Japan to seize control of the Chinese maritime customs service at Shanghai.

Colonies May Be Offered to Hitler

LONDON, Nov. 30 (U. P.) —Great Britain and France were understood today to be prepared to recognize in principle Adolf Hitler's rights to colonies in exchange for a German guaranty to subscribe to European security, At the termination of AngloFrench discussions an authoritative source reported that statesmen of both nations favor solution of the colony question by the creation of an international territorial pool. Powers holding League of Nations mandates would contribute to the pool which would be offered to Herr Hitler for exploitation. However, “there must be still considerable study,” of the proposal, the informant said. The entire question was said to be linked with general European security and progress depends entirely on what guarantees Germany offers. The next move, therefore, appeared to be up to Herr Hitler. At the termination of the talks, Premier Camille Chautemps of France, in an official communique, said the discussions had given new proof of the community of attitude between the two countries.

Woman’s Own Blood Used to Save Life

LONDON, Nov. 30 (U. P.)— Transfusion of three pints of her own blood helped bring back to ‘life the wife of a Government employee after she apparently died on the operating table of the Croydon General Hospital. The woman, whose name has been kept secret, suffered an internal hemorrhage after the abnormal birth of a child. An operation was necessary. After administration of an anaesthetic, she collapsed and her heart ceased to beat. Apparently she was dead. The resident surgical officer, 30-year-old Dr. C. J. C. Siggers, and his assistant, Dr. E. P. C. Ashman, administered the drug ephedrine. While an incision was made just below the ribs, Dr. Siggers began massaging the heart through the diaphragm. The heart began beating again, The doctors found three pints of the woman's blood (the body holds only about five pints) had drained into the abdomen, necessitating an immediate blood transfusion. As there was no time to summon a biood donor the doctors took one pint of the woman's own blood through an incision, passed it through sterilized gauze and restored it to the patient by the orthodox introduction into a vein in the arm. After a second incision, two more pints were removed from the abdomen and transferred to the arm. Then the doctors were able to carry out the original operation. The woman is recovering.

F.D.R. ASKS CUT OF 100 MILLION IN HIGHWAY AID

Request Is Sent to Congress In New Move to Help Balance Budget.

to match $150,000,000 of that dollar for dollar.

$38,000,000 Appropriated The last Congress appropriated

struction, leaving $200,000,000 still to be appropriated. Mr. Roosevelt recommendd that $100,000.000 of this be provided for in the 1939 budget and the remainder in 1940.

By that means the 1939 budget, to be made up early next year, would be reduced by $100,000,000. Through cancellation of 1939 fiscal year Federal aid, the President would «ffect a total saving of $214,000,000 in the 1939 and 1940 budgets.

Mr. Roosevelt asked Congress to “give consideration” to a provision in the highway law requiring Federal aid “regardless of the availability of appropriations for their payment and the fiscal outlook of the Treasury.” “This mandatory provision.” he said, “completely ties the hands of the Executive as to the amount of road funds to be included in the budget for any fiscal year.

100,000 Miles of Roads

“While I do not object to the apportionment among the states of such amounts as may be authorized for appropriation, I do most strenuously object to the mandatory incurrence of obligations by the Federal Government under such apportionment without regard to its ability to finance them from~its revenue,” he said. Approximately half of the $3.100,000,000 appropriated for public highways since enactment of the first Federal-Aid Highway act in 1916 has been spent in the past five years, Mr. Roosevelt said. Since 1932 the Federal Government has helped finance nearly 100.000 miles of new highways. Approximately 2000 grade crossings

have been eliminated, entirely with Federal grants to states. The Bureau of Public Roads reported 22,000 miles of highways completed in the 1937 fiscal year ended last June 30. There were 1149 crossings eliminated, of which 1086 were financed under a $200,000,000 emergency relief appropriation.

Asks Tax Changes Meanwhile Chairman Harrison of the Senate Finance Committee repudiated present capital gains and corporation surplus taxes in a radio speech insisting that both must be modified. He gave business grounds to hope that modification may go beyond limits now planned by House Ways and Means Committeemen. The Senator charged the taxes with responsibility for curtailing Federal revenue, retarding industrial development and contributing to unemployment. He said the capital gains tax had discouraged trading in stocks, securities and other holdings. Senator Wagner (D. N. ¥. indicated that the public hearings on the housing bill amendments, which he introduced, probably would bring out general suggestions for aiding business.

Farm Bill Opposed

While debate on farm bills continued in both houses, an opposition bloc appeared to be forming

the Senate under the leadership of Senator Lee (D. Okla.). He has offered a substitute measure calling for unlimited production of crops sold in foreign markets. The drive in the House for 218 signatures on a petition to force a vote on the Senate-approved wageshours bill neared a deadline beyond which it cannot be considered by this method during the special session. A total of 188 names have been signed, just 30 short of the required 218, and unless the remainder are subscribed by adjournment Thursday it will be impossible to consider the bill Dec. 13. Rep.

Action to Curb

Monopolies Spurred

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—The Roosevelt Administrations longthreatened attack on the monopoly problem, which now begins to appear imminent, coincides with a movement begun in Congress today to tackle it through a Federal incorporation law, rather than through revision of the antitrust laws. After several conferences, Senators O'Mahoney (D. Wyo. and Borah (R. Idaho) have agreed on a [bill requiring corporations operatling in interstate commerce to take The bill was

[to be introduced today. | This measure, in which important Administration officials have evinced interest, will go to the Senate Judii ciary Committee and there be re- | ferred to a subcommittee headed by | Senator O'Mahoney which already | has held extended hearings. A fa- | vorable report to the full Judiciary {Committee is expected shortly. | The alignment of a New Deal | Democrat and a Western Repub- | lican, who formerly sponsored sepa- | rate bills, should give the bill impe-

| states. President Studies Matter

| The two Senators have opened their campaign at a propitious time, for their move coincides with re[newed attention to the monopoly iproblem by the President. Mr. | Roosevelt is studying the matter on | his vacation trip with Assistant At- | torney General Robert H. Jackson, lin charge of antitrust proseeutions for the Justice Department.

At the same time, the need of

antitrust laws to meet the problem as it exists today was emphasized by Attorney General Cummings in a New York speech in which he warned that big business “is moving blindly but with accumulating acceleration down the road leading to ultimate Government supervision.” A definite connection between the Administration’s new emphasis on antitrust law reform and the recent, antitrust actions instituted by thy Justice Department is seen by those who have watched the course of these cases—particularly the oil | cases now being tried at Madison, | Wis., and the grand jury investigation at Milwaukee of antitrust allegations against Ford, Chrysler and General Motors in connection with their affiliated financing companies. | Recent developments indicate that | the Justice Department has doubts [about the efficacy of its antitrust | procedure,

constantly increasing and that the faster Congress grinds out laws the more necessary their construction by th~ courts becomes. “On the question as to whether nine or more should constitute the Court, I choose to remain silent. I am still in a position to be called for judicial duty. For that reason I must keep away from those things in dispute so that judicial impartiality can be mine.” He spoke of his early childhood impressions of the Civil War, and of the sick and wounded Grant County youths who came back. “Many were emaciated. The sun almost shone through them. Then they began having funerals. It seems in my imperfect memory thet there was one almost every week for a soldier. His comrades would parade in their military clothes and fire volleys over the grave. “So it is with all war,” said this

in 1917. “We don't want war when it can be avoided. That doesn’t mean we should stand for any sort of treatment. But we should think before we build ourselves up to a fever heat.”

It was apparent that for the last 37 years he has been a man who lived in almost constant touch with events which were to become history. “I never was more unnerved than when news of my appointment to the Supreme Court came,” said. “I had been in Washington some time before and had argued many cases for the Government in the Court.
