opposition which some persons believe includes Vice President Garner. : Income Increase Sought

General objective of the new plan was to increase national income in the next couple of years from the present rate of 56 billion doilars to around 80 billion dollars a year. The plan fell in three general categories:

1. Maintenance of relief. 2. Expansion of credit. 3. Revival of public works and additional funds for certain active New Deal recovery agencies. The tremendous expansion of credit program would include: . 1. Use of approximately $1,400,000,000 of sterilized and free gold and relaxation of bank reserve requirements. 2. Better co-ordination of banking supervision. 3. Simplification of Security Exchange Commission regulations especially to assist financing of small business enterprises. This latter project probably would involve freeing from many butdensome requirements the issue of small lots of securities in behalf of little business. 4. Progressive increase of available bank credit provided by each dollar of new Federal spending.

Asks United Effort

Mr. Roosevelt asked for a united national will in the recovery effort. He pointedly called attention of Congress and country to the contention that his legislative recommendations since Jan. 1 had not been of a type calculated to disturb husiness. The lending-spending-credit expansion plan breaks down as . follows: 1 $2,062,000,000 of Treasury expenditures to make work. 2. $950,000,000 of Treasury loans to make work. 3. $1,500,000,000 of Reconstruction Finance Corp. loans to aid business and states and their subdivisions. 4. Desterilization of $1,182,000,000 gold, use of $210,000,000 free gold already in the Treasury working ~ balance and Federal Reserve reduction of reserve requirements by about $750,000,000. The credit expansion involved is tremendous but the fourth category requires no legislation, being a bookkeeping transaction which will not affect the national debt or the budget deficit any way. Mr. Roosevelt told Congress that beyond this program there were “certain needs” which should be considered: 1. Elimination of future tax ex‘emption of bonds of all Government agencies. ~ 2. Subjection of all>Government salaries and wages from any source to Federal and state income taxation. 3. Solution of the railroad, monopoly and price-fixing problems.

Emergency Projects Sought

The President put his recovery plan in the emergency category and proposed to limit a large part of expenditures to projects which could be started within six months and completed within a year or a year and a half. The revived public works plan would be optionally either a duplication of the former 45 per cent gift and 55 per cent loan plan or a 100 per cent noninterest bearing loans to states. The cost to the Government would be about the same either way. Mr. Roosevelt said he did not believe: the Treasury should be out of pocket more than "one billion dollars for PWA.

President's Tax Letter Arouses Bitterness ‘In Conference.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 14.—President Roosevelt's new strategy of attack, revealed in his direct appeal for the undistributed profits tax and

o'clock (Indianapolis Time) tonight, is designed in the first place to

Congress. Secondly, it is a part of a general campaign, started in his wage-hour speech at Gainesville, Ga., to lay down and emphasize issues for the Congressional elections this fall in an attempt to get another—and possibly a more specific—popular *‘mandate.” A fighting Roosevelt, who will call up all the dramatic technique which is his forte, 4s the role henceforth for the man who recently retired into the silences for a -time at the behest of advisers who thought such a course would pacify his foes and contribute to business recovery. The general assumption behind the new strategy is that the President and his. measures still have wide popular support. Congress, his lieutenants argue, is not refiective of his popular strength, and this for many reasons. . The temper of Congress has been revealed by its rejection of the Court Bill, the Wage-Hour Bill and the Reorganization Bill—and now the conservatives are rising up

| against the spending program.

Thus-the President has everything to gain and nothing to lose ‘by arguing his case before the voters, something he has neglected in recent months. Even if he achieves nothing as far as the present Congress is concerned, he will at least state his case for the coming Congressional battles. This is the theory of the change

will find Mr. Roosevelt speaking out both to Congress and to the people in a way reminiscent of the early New Deal days.

Tax Conference Bitter Over Letter

WASHINGTON, April 14 (U. P). —~Congressional conferees on the new tax bill headed into embittered committee fight today as Senate members stood firmly behind the upper chamber’s elimination of the undistributed profits tax and modification of the levy on capital gains. Still in full rebellion despite President Roosevelt's request for reinstatement of the stricken and revised tax principles, Senate conferees said no new tax bill can be constructed in conference until agreement is reached on the undis-

tributed profits and capital gains levies.

Committee Agrees On Wage-Hour Bill

WASHINGTON, April 14 (U. PJ). —The House Labor Committee agreed tentatively today to report a new wage-hour bill, providing for establishment of fixed levels of pay and working hours by gradual adjustments of minimum and magximum standards. By a vote of 12 to 6, the Committee agreed to draft a bill which would provide an ultimate floor of 40 cents an hour for wages and an ultimate ceiling of 40 hours for & working week. The final inflexible standards, however, would be achieved by gradual adjustment of wages and hours over a period of years. Basic minima .and maxima at which the bill will begin had not been determined specifically. Rep. Fred A. Hartley Jr. (R. N. J.) predicted, however, that first wage manima would be 25 cents an hour, to be increased by fixed de-

grees over three years to reach the ultimate goal of 40 cents.

ORPHANS HOME STUDY PRESSED

Dr. Armistead Urges Negro Civic Groups to Show “More Interest.’

Marion County Commissioners were to continue their inquiry today into conditions at the Colored Orphans Home. Dr. H. W. Armisteaq, staff physician, who has been associated with the Home for three years, yestferday said local Negro civic groups should take more interest in the home. : “There have been some irregularities,” he told the two Commissioners who conducted the inquiry at the Home, “but there have been many wild rumors, also, which have cast a shadow on some of the children here. “These girls and bovs want someone to come in and show an interest in them and their problems. There are many fine women in Indianapolis who could show interest, for

they would do so, their action would go far to solve our problem.”

Investigation Made

Dow W. Vorhies, Board president, and Commissioner John S. Newhouse conducted the investigation. John Linder, County Attorney, accompanied them. Representatives of the Fletcher's Oak Hill Civic League and the Ciyil Liberties League, which complained of conditions at the Home, also attended. July=Johnson, a janitor, told the investigators he probably had “whipped about every boy in the place.” He displayed a leather strap which he said he used, but denied that he ever had injured any of the boys. Mrs. Susie A. Millikin,

ordered the whippings. This type of punishment, the janitor said, was given for various offenses. Boys sent to the Home as delinquents cause the biggest problem at the Home, he said.

sioners that she and a governess had whipped “five or six girls a couple of times” because they had crawled from the dormitory and slid to the ground on ropes. Concerning the whipping of the boys, she said: “When I was unable to do anything with them I'd say to Mr. Johnson: ‘Take them to the basement.’ ” “I welcome any investigation at any time,” she added.

South China Invasion

Believed Imminent SHANGHAI, April 14 (U. P)— Foreign military experts believed today that Japan would attempt an immediate invasion of South China to divert atention from recent losses on the Norih-cenirel

front. Reports from the front indicated that the Chinese counter-offensive had stiffened. A fierce battle was in progress around, Yihsien, Southern Shantung® Province. It seemed to be developing into an even more costly one than the one at Taierhchwang, :where the Chinese routed the Japanese Army driving southward. Foreign and Chinese military authorities were apprehensive of the heavy Japanese naval and air force concentration off Amoy and Foochow, chief seaport of Rukien province, between Shanghai and Hongkong. Eight warships, including an aircraft carrier, were anchored off Amoy. The same number were said to have anchored off Foochow. Unconfirmed Chinese reports said that eight Japanese submarines had been based off Manshan Island, below Canton, and that Japanese warships were lying off many ports along the Fukien coast below Shanghai. : Gen. Chiang Kai-shek was understood to have ordered an increase in the South China forces and for the second time since the war began he sent planes out to meet Japanese air raiders.

The Chinese planes reportedly met’

40 Japanese planes raiding sections of Kwantung Province and downed three of them. Some observers regarded Domei News Agency reports from Tokyo of imminent “political developments” as evidence that the Japanese high command's decision to emark upon a costly South China campaign ight have precipitated an internal crisis.

Spanish Republic Has Sad Birthday

HENDAYE, French-Spanish Frontier, April 14 (U. P.)—The Rebel Provisional Government reported today that its .cavalry and tank

oo | units had captured San Mateo and’ 1 La Jana, 11 miles from the Medi-

terranean Sea. After occupying the towns, reports from the Rebel Government headquarters in Burgos said, Gen. Francisco Franco's advance units drove on into Loyalist territory and by midday had reached a point 1012 miles from the sea. It was the seventh anniversary of the founding of the Spanish Republic and it found the Rebels, aided by Italians, Germans and Moors, embarked on what they believed would prove soon a death thrust against the republican forces. The Loyalists, realizing their extremity, were fighting fiercely and the strength of their resistance led

in

Rebels to believe that all possible materials, particularly artillery, had

| arrived in their lines.

Heavy fighting proceeded in the Lerida sector, center of the long Rebel line of the Catalonian boarder. In the far north the Rebels had captured more than 18 villages and were cutting off the many thousands of Loyalists who remained in the hills near the French frontier,

U. S. Envoy Hits At Nazi Policy

BERLIN, April 14 (U. P.).—Germany’s policy of economic self-suffi-ciency was inferentially criticized by United States Ambassador Hugh R. Wilson last night in his first speech here since he became Ambassador. “There is no greater fallacy than the belief that foreign trade is neither necessary nor desirable and that a nation can best promote its welfare by producing within its borders anything it needs. without regard for cost or quality,” he told members of the American Chamber of Commerce in Germany and a Humber of German Government officials. In effect, Ambassador Wilson invited Germany to collaborate with the United States in reciprocal trade concessions to enlarge each other’s commerce, thereby “appeasing economic tension and promoting peace.”

Workers in nationalized factories had abandoned their sit-down strike and returned to their jobs. It was hoped that an arbitration decision might be handed down tonight as regards privately owned factories.

LIMA, Peru, April 14 (U. P).— ‘United States Ambassador Laurence A. Steinhardt warned in a radio speech last night that the nations of the Western Hemisphere must maintain collective ideals to insure their preservation against ‘predatory forces looking for new fields to conquer.” Apparently referring to the European dictatorships, Ambassador Steinhardt drew attention to countries “who are resorting to forces to impose their will on others beyond their boundaries.”

Increase Not Justified, ICC Decision.

WASHINGTON, April 14 (U. P.). —The Interstate Commerce Commission today denied the request of Eastern railroads for passenger fare increases.

The roads had asked permission |

to increase their rates from 2 to 2% cents per mile. Railroads had estimated the increase would have meant a revenue gain of $40,000,000. “We conclude that the fare of 2% cents per mile in coaches proposed for application in Eastern territory has not been justified,” the Commission said. Rejection of the view followed ICC approval of a $270,000,000 increase in freight rates.

Five Eastern Roads Operate Into City

Five railroads operating into Indianapolis are classed as Eastern roads and were inclutied in the ICC ruling on passenger rates, J. J. Liddy, Belt Railroad superintendent. said today. They are the Pennsylvania, New York Central, Baltimore & Ohio, Monon and Illinois. Central. The Nickel Plate also is an Eastern line, but does not carry passengers.
