carrying out a big business program instead of the Roosevelt program.” “They are going on the theory that Mr. Roosevelt was defeated and Mr. Landon was elected. It is to be hoped that neither Congress nor the President will be frightened.”, Senator Burke, ‘however, said that “the press as a whole has done a fine job, although there are some which are one-sided either for or against the Administration.” Senator Burke has declared himself opposed to -a third term for Mr. Roosevelt.

Papers Deny Roosevelt’s ‘Fear Psychology’ Charge

By United Press . During a discussion about fear and its relation to business conditions in his press conference Tuesday, President Roosevelt said that there is a fear psychology and. that psychology has not. only been inculcated but fostered by a large percentage of the newspapers of the United States: Editorial comment follows:

"ROCHESTER (N. Y.) TIMESUNION—Newspapers ‘do not propose to take the President’s charges lying down. Newspapers are dependent for their prosperity equally upon the prosperity of business in general and upon the prosperity of the individual. Even assuming, as President Roosevelt persistently does, that newspapers have no sense of public responsibility, is it reasonable to suppose that they would seek to scuttle the craft in which they must ride or sink? KANSAS CITY STAR—They (the newspapers) would be crazy to fry to prolong the recession by creating fear. The trouble is that fear exists, and it exists because of the attitude and actions of the Government under the President’s leadership and the uncertainty of what may be done in the future. It is no artificially created .fear that prevents business from planning expansions, but knowledge that it will be penalized by the undistributed profits tax. . . . BOSTON HERALD—It was a peevish, resentful, unfounded and indefensible remark. There is no ystery about the - part newsrs have played. They have recorded the plain truth. . . . He (the President) is one of the very few today blind to the general fact that the distrust of him by the business world and the reluctance to take his promises at face value are closely related to the situation for which-he lashes newspapers. NCW YORK SUN — His (the President’ s) charge is a puzzling one. . The newspapers, of course, have nothing to gain by such a course and a lot to lose. . . . If they are opposing him now it is because he has neglected his opportunities to reassure the country by reform in taxes and by a return to economy. Recovery is not being accomplished and the newspapers cannot lie about it.

fort to reduce problem of “relativity. » “Where can we cut?” the President asked. “That is a matter, first, for the President to make recommendations, and, secondly, for the Congress to decide whether the recommendations for cuts should be carried out or changed by substituting different cuts. “The Congress has a perfect right constitutionally to exceed the budget, but, if the budget is exceeded, obviously the Congress must accept full responsibility, and obviously the Democratic members, which have such ‘a large majority Congress, must equally accept the full responsibility.”

Reaction Is Mixed

Congressional reaction to the President’s economy demands was

mixed. ; Senator Adams .(D. Colo), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, said “if relief expenditures go up you can not balance the budget.” He said that there could be some “very substantial economies” in governmental daministration, but added that there could not be enough saved to offset the relief expenditures and other costs o fthe “downhill period.” "Senator McKellar (D. Tenn.) also a member of the Appropriations Committee, said he strongly favored balancing the budget “as soon as possible.”

Hoosiers Predict Early

Tax Law Revision

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—Senators VanNuys and Minton today predicted that early action will be taken at the regular session of Congress to alter the tax law as an aid to business. They said the special session gave the legislators a “running start” by getting part of the President's program in conference committees so that tax action can be taken. “Of course, the Senate could take no action on taxation until the, House sent us a bill,” Senator VanNuys explained. “I am sure that

regular session convenes. “I am’ confident that a majority in beth houses favors repeal or ma=|' terial amer.dment of the present tax law regarding undistributed profits of corporations and capital gains. . “These | will be modified to give material aid to business and halt the recession. »

Sees Tax Changes

A similar view was expressed: by Senator Minton, who is one of the leading spokesman for the Administration and assistant Senate Whip.

changed to aid business,” he said. Defending = the special session, both Hoosier Senators cited the fact that the way was cleared by its action: so that the regular session can De short and snappy. “While here was no final enactment of major measures, there was much valuable discussion and beginnings made which will ‘shorten and curtail the regular session,” Senator VanNuys said. “I anticipate a conference report on the farm bill and-housing will be ready for action the very first week. Sa I.do not think our time was wasted in the special session, but the way was paved for a constructive and helpful special session.”

FOR HOME, SCHOOL

Girl Plans Return Parents; Husband in Prison.

GOSHEN, Dec. 23 (U. P.) —Marjorie Barnes Messingale, 14, figuratively put her fifth grade school books under heér arm today, determined. to forget her unfortunate marriage to a 33-year-old husband. ‘Her husband, an itinerant preacher and music master, is serving a sixmonth sentence at the State Penal Farm. His three children, by another wife, twice caused assault and battery charges to be brought against Marjorie. Several times her husband gave her dubious advice.

Acting upon it; Marjorie pleaded

guilty to an assault and battery charge on his children last October and was sentenced to six months in the State Women’s Prison. They refused to accept her there because of her age. Then her husband advised her again. She pleaded guilty to a delinquency charge and was sentenced to the Indiana Girls’ Schoel at Clermont until she was 20. This time, Judge Aldo. J. ‘Simpson came to her rescue. He granted a writ of error coram nobis, which meant he didn’t think so much of her husband’s advice, suspended her sentence, and told her to go back to her parents in Boston, Ark. Marjorie took the first ‘bus for home. “I want to get back % school,” she said. “And I'll get an annullment of the marriage later.”

FIRE DESTROYS HOME

Pire believed to have started from an overheated stove today destroyed the residence of Mrs. Alice Haines, 5122 Riverview Drive. Loss was estimated at $1500.
