DEFICIT FIGURES T0 AID FOES OF “BIG WPA BRANT
Li | Democrats Talk Further Cut but G. 0. P. | May Somersault.
iT 2 WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 (U. P.) — Treasury figures revealing that Government spending since July 1 is approaching five pillion dollars stiffened Senate determination today to cut President Rocsevelt’s new relief appropriation by at least 1504 million dollars. The House already has sliced that amount from the 875 million dollars sought by the President to continue work(relief for the next five months. The Senate evidently is determined to support the House and ‘might even cut further. Government. spending in this fiscal year, boomed by relief needs, was expected to go beyond five billion dollars within a week. The national debt already exceeds $39,500,000,000 and will exceed 40 billion dollars by April 1. An informal poll of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee, which concluded hearings on the deficiency relief "bill yesterday, showed little inclination to restore - the House reduction.
Adams Sees President
Chairman Adams (D.,-Colo.), an influential member of the Senate economy bloc, was summoned to the White House late yesterday for a conference on the relief situation. It was understood that the President told Senator Adams that he was deeply concerned over the proposed cut, and suggested that the Senator restudy figures submitted a | py the WPA in support of the 875 million- dollar request. ! Prominent Democrats in the House, who voted for the reduction, |© were reported to have urged their Senate: colleagues to “stand by” the House figure to save them from “embarrassment.” = Sorhe Senators said, privately that Admini tration leaders in the upper chamber were willing to admit defeat on the issue and concentrate on efforts ito prevent a further cut. : Senator Borah '(R.
Ida), was
shaved elsewhere. - Senator Borah said that “hundreds of thousands” of persons throughout the country were “already living like beasts” and might <¢starve” unless the President’s figures were restored.
G. O. P. May Back President
A certain amount of politics is intermingled in all Congressional action, including appropriations for relief. In the present instance it would not surprise observers to discover numerous Senate Republicans voting on the showdown to give Mr. Roosevelt the full sum requested. It'is suggested by the ears-to-the- ground brigade that midwinter is not a propitious time to cut further into relief spending plans. 'The big economy artillery is to open fire on Roosevelt relief spending later in the session after the sun has warmed Dons of the nation now frost bitten.
Deficiency gi r Cut by House Group WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 (U. P).—

AUTO FACTORIES PLEDGE U. S. AID
Motor Makers Ney Build Plane Parts in Case Of Emergency.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 (U. P.) — The auto industry has “enrolled” in ths Army's preparedness’ drive and is ready to use its great resour:es apd factories to help turn out airplanes on a mass production basis in event of “extreme national emergency,” it was learned today. High military authorities, although emphasizing that the aviation industry probably would be able to fill President Roesevelt’s air expansion program, said that if war should come soon, auto plants would be asked to help in producing many plane parts. The President’s program, now before Congress, calls for an increase of at least 3000 planes in the Army’s air strength at a cost of 300 million dollars. | : That program, ‘according to Maj. Gens Henry H old, Air Corps chief, will provid “test of the maximum production capacity” of the aviation industry, determining what the United States could do in an emergency.
‘Safety First Measure’
This was regarded as indicating; that the War Department may not be satisfied that present aviation plants could meet a full wartime | demand. In any event the Army has approached the auto industry regarding airplane production as a precautionary or “safety first” measure. * Military authorities said that officials of all the major automobile manufacturing companies—General Motors, Chrysler, Ford, Packard and others—expressed readiness to cooperate fully. Except in case of immediate danger of attack on this country, contracts would be let in the usual way to aviation companies. However, it was said, in event of a major war which might eventually involve the United States but was not an immediate threat, contractors would be at liberty to let
out parts of their goniracts to auto manufacturers.
Republican Urges Wagner Act Repeal
WASHINGTON, Jan. B® (U. P). — Democrats on the House Labor Committee indicated today that there was little chance for adoption of a bill presented by Rep. C. Arthur Anderson (R. Mo.) for repealing the Wagner Labor Relations Act. Rep. Robert Ramspeck (D. Fa.) ranking Democrat on the Committee,
knew of the bill. Committee Chairman is Rep. Mary T. Norton (D. N.
J.), champion of New Deal labor! legislation, who engineered ‘passage.
ot the wage-hour bill at the last session. Although gpposed to Rep. Anderson’s proposal, Rep. Ramspeck said he favored a study of the act with a view to amending it. -

Supreme Court Cours Approval Of Levy on Bonds, Salaries Hinted.
(Continued from Page One)
¥ [Department officials urge the ecoti iInomic wisdom and legal practica- | bility of abolishing tax immunity.
The committee will meet again in February to hear defenders of exemption—chiefly state officials. Justice Department officials are confident that the three Roosevelt: appointees on the court—Justices -Hugo L. Black, Stanley Reed and Felix Frankfurter—would approve such a statute as the President proposes. Mr. Justice Black ison record. Ina concurring opinion last year in the case of Helvering vs. Gerhardt (in which the court said the Government c Ya tax the salaries of officials of the Port of New York Authority) Justice Black challenged the idea that public employees and others should be “divided into taxpaying or nontaxpaying groups.” Hughes Cited Clause Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes is also on record. He was Governor of New York when the 16th Amendment, authorizing a Federal tax on income “from whatever source derived,” was pending. While advising his Legislature that he favored a Federal income tax, he counseled against ratification on the ground that the words “from whatever source derived” would, “if taken in their natural sense,” include income derived from State and municipal securities. - The Legislature eventually ratified the amendment, despite Mr. Hughes interpretation. If he were now to hold state bonds immune from Federal taxation he would be repudiating his own words of 30 years ago. As for Justice Louis D. Brandeis, he also is on record in an analogous case. He concurred in a dissent by Former Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, in “Evans vs. Gore,” in which a Federal Judge’s salary was held immune from Federal tax. Mr.
‘Justice Holmes said:
“The 16th Amendment justifies the tax. . . . The power is given expressly to tax incomes from whatever source d:rived.” Other Decisions Quoted Justices Owen Roberts and Harlan F. Stone have not made their positions so clear, but they have gone a long way -toward indorsing the right to abolish immunities. Mr. Justice Roberts wrote, in “Brush vs. Commissioner,” that the Constitution. placed only two limi-
tations on the. Federal and State t
axing powers. “These,” he said, “are that the exactions of the one must not discriminate against the means and instrumentalities of the other and must not directly burden the operations of the other.” As for Mr. Justice Stone, in the majority opinion in Helvering vs. Gerhardt last year he wrote: “The mere fact that the economic burden of such taxes (Federal income taxes on State salaries) may be passed on to a State government and thus increase to some extent . « « the expense of its operation, infringes no constitutional immunity.”
Wallace Asks Changes In Stockyards Law
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 (U. P.). —Agriculture Secretary Walldce, in a report to Congress, today recommended tfr-resching amendments to the Padkers and Stockyards Act. The proposed amendments: 1. To require packers and dealers to furnish satisfactory evidence of their financial responsibility, or file a reasonable bond for performance of contracts. 2. To require new agencies to conform to orders on rates and charges promulgated before they were organized. 3. To permit the Secretary of Agriculture to suspend new charges for nine months, pending hearings and investigations, instead of 60 days as under current law. 4. To put on stockyard owners and operators and market agencies the -burden of proof to justify rate increases, instead of requiring the Agriculture Department to show tha} they are unjust: 5. To permit intervention by producers and other interested parties in hearings on rates and charges. 6. To permit the Secretary to receive reparations complaints in a ne months period instead of 90 ays. 7. To give the Secretary closer supervision of individuals operating under the act.

Provides for Certificates
While school employees could choose their own physicians, a uniform health tertificate would be prescribed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Health Board. Senator Johnson said he also was preparing a bill to require that tuberculosis tests be given all children before they enter elementary school and again when they enter high school. He said this measure would be brought in next week. A split report on a Senate bill to establish a free admission day once a year at the Nancy Hanks! Lincoln State Park precipitated a debate on the Senate floor. Senator Oliver Cannon (D. Knox) asked the Senators to approve a
‘ |minority report which asked the {passage of the measure. The name
of Senator Arthur L. Deniston (D. Rochester) led the list of those recommending the indefinite postponement of the bill. Senator Deniston told the Senate that the 10-cent admission should not be dropped even for one day because similar requests would be received for free days at other State parks and that it would destroy the fund keeping up the park system. The minority report that the bill should pass was adopted on a standint vote of 27 to 18. The House special committee on accoustics reported that .an amplication system could be installed in the House within four days for $2844. The system would provide a microphone on each desk and one for the Speaker and the reading clerk. Rep. Guy W. Dausman (R. Goshen) defended the expenditure by saying that half the time the members of the House couldn't hear well enough to know upon what issues they were voting. The system would be permanently installed. Pointing out that this same problem came up while he was speaker and before “the Democrats had slowed down to half speed,” Rep. Stein said he favored the installation. “You are on the minority “side now and you wouldn't have the responsibility with the folks back
‘home if we spend this money,” Rep.
C. Y. Foster (R. Carmel) said as he pointed his finger at Rep. Stein. “Our ‘fathers got along all right
without “these contraptions.”
Cites ‘Lost Time’
Rep. S. Hugh Dillin (D. Pefersburg) said that since there were 100 members of the House and since each one received $10 a day, the House already had used up $125 by arguing over “such a trivial bill.” “Isn’t it true, you members of the Budget Committee, that the State already is facing a deficit of $5,000,000,” Rep. Evans asked Rep. Stein. Rep. Stein refused to answer, claiming the question was out of order.” “I promised Mr. Evans that if this loud speaking system is installed it will save the State through intelligent voting more than 100 times
man said. When Rep. Evans toos the floor again he was heckled by both sides of the House. The House voted to adopt the committee report to install the system by a 67 to 23 vote. Other bills introduced in the House today would: Appropriate $37,000 annually in State funds for operation of the Indiana Department, Veteran of Foreign Wars. The funds would pay expenses beginning July 1, 1939. Requiré that the flag be flown from the dome of the State House every day from 9 a. m. until sunset. Require preparation of budgets by municipally owned utilities. The bill states’that the purpose of municiual utilities is to ‘provide service at the lowest poss.ble cost. Utility patrons would have the right to check on proposed expenditures for the year. Amend a 1935 poor: relief law to provide that township trustees must submit an estimate of funds necessary to finance poor relief aétivities of the township for the next six months. This estimate with an account of the unpaid indebtedness for past relief would be certified under oath to the County Auditor. \: Members of the township adviso; boards - also could make eval of their own, and similar tes

Tighten control over real estate brokers through licensing requirements. = Amend in minor particulars the act authorizing counties to acquire land titles. Make technical revisions in the state law covering receiverships. Empower the State Auditor to deduct from wages of state employees his delinquency in state taxes. The Senate passed on second reading a joint resolution for a constitutional amendment to permit the Legislature to enact laws fixing liability of bank stockholders. ‘Two measures were passed on second reading to engrossment. They would repeal an act which prohibits persons holding a lucrative office from being a notary public and enact a measure exempting

A Senate nieasure to repeal obsolete statutes concerning binding out of children was passed unanimously on third reading and sent to the House for further action. :
Resolutions to memorialize Congress to continue scientific. research to develop new industrial uses for farm products and to protest against the present method of distributing State motor vehicle funds were introduced today in the Senate.
Charges that the State Highway Commission “is squandering road funds” were made by Rep. Roy J. Harrison (R. Attica) as the House Roads Committee delayed final action yesterday on three House measures to provide a flat registration fee for privately owned passenger automobiles.
