President Confe Confers With " New Deal Leaders on Situation.

WASHINGTON, March 13 (U. P.). —The White House announced today that President Roosevelt has | been delayed in preparing his mes-

sage asking Congress for addition relief funds and may not submit it before midweek: The White Hoyse attributed the delay to pressure of other business. However, it was believed in some quarters that Mr. Roosevelt may not yet have finally determined the amount of relief funds which he will ask Congress to provide for use of the WPA until June 30. Indications have pointed strongly to a new request for 150 million dollars of relief funds—the amount which Congress previously declined to provide.

Calls New Dealers

Strengthening belief that Mr. Roosevelt desires to canvass the situation more thoroughly before set- _ ting a figure on relief needs, was che fact that he planned to confer late today with a group of Senators for a general discussion of relief, unemployment and the general economic situation. The. group included Senators Mead (D. N. Y.), Schwartz (D. Wyo.) and Lister Hill (D. Ala.), all staunch New Deal supporters. Mr. Roosevelt conferred this morning with Congressional leaders for his regular weekly Monday discussion of the legislative situation. The relief situation was one topic discussed with them. Speaker William B. Bankhead (D Ala.) said after the Congressional White House conference that he expected the relief message would be sent to Congress tomorrow. Speaker Bankhead later said the amount of the relief request “procably will not cause much surprise.” He said he was not authorizsd to say whether the request would be for 150 million or less.

FBI Reports on Sharecropper Strike

WASHINGTON, March 13 (U. P.). —The Federal Bureau of Investigation in a report released today, concluded that the January sharecropper demonstration in Southeastern Missouri was a planned protest against economic conditions of sordidness and poverty which were aggravated by the Federal farm and relief programs. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover submitted the report to Attorney General Murphy, who requested the investigation. The FBI sustained complaints of demonstrators that they lived in unsatisfactory sanitary surroundings and received hardly the bare necessities of life. But it absolved landlords of charges of persecution. The report found few instances of violations of civil liberties.

WPA FOOD PLAN. TOBE REVEALE]

Wallace to Present Stamp Proposal to Grocers’ Committee.

WASHINGTON, March 13 (U. P) —Agriculture Secretary Wallace will announce today that Government's new program to subsidize purchase of surplus food products by relief clients. He will present it to a special meeting of the Food and Grocery Conference Committee, & group of 10 representatives of : food processors, wholesalers and retailers.

The program is part of the Administration’s answer to the problem cited by President Roosevelt when he said that one-third of the nation is ill-fed. Sponsors of the plan hope it eventually will increase the food purchasing power of low-in-come groups by approximately 25 per cent. The program was worked out by the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation in conferences with grocery trade groups, the WPA, the Treasury and Commerce Departments under the direction of Secretary Wallace. : Although some details of the pro gram were withheld pending Secretary Wallace's announcement, it is based on a provision for the issu« ance of free stamps, good for the purchase of surplus foods. The stamps would be issued to relief clients who also buy stamps to be exchanged for all other foods at|regular grocery stores.

Two Colors to Be Used

Relief clients, whether WPA worker or receiving some other form

to take a portion of their relief money in orange-colored stamps good only for purchase of food. Additional free stamps of another color good only for the purchase of surplus foods would be issued at the same time. Secretary ‘Wallace would designate the foods to be sold as surpluses. These surpluses also would be available to everyone for regular purchase. Grocers would make their

Logan to e Atk Barkley To Withdraw Labor Amendment.

_ (Editorial, Page 10)

WASHINGTON, March 13 (U. PJ). —Democratic Floor Leader Barkley

colleague, Senator Logan (I). Ky.),

to consent to withdrawal of the amendment to the Emergency Defense Bill barring from Government contracts bidders found to be violating the Wagner Labor Relations Act. Senator Barkley, who introduced the amendment with C. I. O. back-

today. House and Senate conferzes on the bill are deadlocked on *hat amendment and another offered by Senator Tobey (R. N. H.)) limitinz profit on War Department contracts to 10 per cent.

C. 1. 0. Backs Amendment

The National Association of Manufacturers and the War Department oppose those amendinetits, contending that the first would cr might jeopardize national defense and that the second, limiting profits, is unfair and unsuited to the firms from which the Departmen: obtains its supplies. The C. I. O. helped maneuver the labor amendment’ into the defense bill and is battling now to keep it there. The Manufacturers Association has taken the lead of business ‘opposition. Barkley, whose sponsorship. suggests that it also had had Mr. Roosevelt's blessing, returns from Florida today. Senator Logan (D. Ky.), one of the Senate conferees, will see him at once and ask that he consent to the amendment being eliminated. House conferees are opposed to the amendment but shrink from the hitter debate it would engender if presented on the floor of the House. The chief argument against it is that it merely authorizes the War or Navy Departments to determine whether there have been unfair labor practises without providing methods or means. It is charged that it might lead to arbitrarily blacklisting of innocent bidders or permit malcontents to delay or pre: vent awards by raising false issues of labor law violations.

‘Little Steel’ Loses Walsh-Healy Appeal

WASHINGTON, March 13 (U.P). ~U. 8. District Judge Jennings Bailey today dismissed a suit by seven small companies séeking to set aside minimum wages prescribed for steel concerns that bid on Government contracts. | Judge Bailey said the steel com{panies had failed to show that Labor Secretary Perkins acted “arbi-

lishing the minima. The wage minima ranged from 45 cents in the south to 62: cents per hour in the Eastern area in which the seven companeis are located. They became effective generally on March 1, but as regards three of the seven plaintiffs in the current suit they had been deferred hy a temporary injunction granted by Judge Bailey.

President Fights Repeal Of Profits and Gains Taxes

By THOMAS L. STOKES ‘Fimes Special Writer WASHINGTON, March 13.—-Treasury officials and Congressional tax leaders find themselves up against a tough job in trying to induce President Roosevelt to abandon or modify two taxes which business. accuses

of impeding expansion and recovery.

These are the capital-gains tax and the remnants of the undis-tributed-profit tax—the former a levy imposed for many years, by Democrats and Republicans alike; the latter a New Deal tax designed to force corporations to pay out their earnings in dividends and thus

prevent evasion. The President regards these taxes as fundamental to the taxation principle of ability to pay and he will not be easily shaken from his stand." That is why Treasury Secretary Morgenthau, Under Secretary Hanes, Senator Harrison (D. Miss.) and Rep. Jere Cooper (D. Tenn.) came away from a two-hour White House conference without any definite agreement on tax revision. Arthurdale Speech Recalled

Mr. Roosevelt has indicated his]

willingness to make some concessions in tax revision, but it is evident that he is going to be hard to budge on these two taxes, both of which were modified considerably last session under pressure from

business. Treasury officials, at his direction, now are making a further canvass of possibilities. The modificationists and business appeasers are handicapped further by the fact that President Roosevelt is on record in: black and white, and rather emphatically, on the capital-gains and undistributedprofits taxes. This can all be found in the speech he delivered last May 27 at Arthurdale, W. Va., in which, without mincing words, he took Congress to task for the modifications it had Just made in those taxes. “If I sign this bill—I have until midnight tonight to sign it—many people will think ‘I approve the abandonment of an important principle of American taxation,” he said. “If I veto the bill it will prevent many of the desirable features of it from going into effect. “Therefore, for the first time since I have been President, I am going to take the third course which is open to me. I am going to let the act go into effect at midnight tonight Without my approval.”

Points to Stock Market

In brief, the President complained that the modifications in the cap-ital-gains tax discriminated against the small taxpayers, and that reduction to 2'2 per cent of the penalty for nondistribulion of dividends would not “wholly eliminate the old tax-avoidance practices of the past.” Commenting on the argument that abandoning the capital-gains tax “will encourage rich men to take a risk with their capital and invest it in new enterprises,” the President said at Arthurdale: “But this school of thought finds it difficult to answer the fact that almost all—about 80 per cent of all capital gains reported—are profits made in the stock market—profits made not by developing new com-

panies but by buying stocks of old

companies low and selling them high, or by the still possible method of selling stocks short—selling stocks you do not own—and then buying them in at a lower price. “The abandonment of the principle of progressive tax payments in accordance with the capacity to pay may encourage a small amount of capital to go into new productive enterprises, but, chiefly, it will help those who make large profits in buying and selling existing stocks.” The President, it is reported, has pointed to this speech during the recent tax-revision negotiations. He took a stand there from which it is difficult to retreat gracefully. ‘There is evidence that the fight over the tax bill may turn into a bitter one in which the President will find himself aligned against the conservatives, particularly in the Senate, who already haye tasted blood. For the Senate bloc directed by vice President Garner, who is ably abetted by Senators Harrison and Byrnes (D. 8. C)), is determined to take the matter in its own hands when the bill reaches the Senate from the House, and to rewrite it to include some of the modifications they desire. How far the President is willing

WAGNER LAW REPEAL ASKED

Rep. Hoffman Seeks Drastic Revision in Terms of Labor Measure.

WASHINGTON, March 13 (U. P.). —Rep. Clare E. Hoffman (R., Mich.) planned to infroduce in the House today a bill to repsal the Wagner Labor Relations Act and’ re-enact, with drastic revisicn, some of its provisions

Rep. Hogman, a bifter critic of the National Labor Relations Board and the C I. O., said his bill was a “direct and complete” answer to the demands of A. F. of‘L. of labor President William Green for a “proAmerica type of messure.” He said his revisions would bring the Labor Law| into conformity with “recent decisions of the Supreme Court,” and that one of his major objections -was ‘‘to legislate out of office the present members of the Board and all of its employees”, except those retained by the new Board. The bill would repeal the act, but re-enact some of its provisions, with changes which would: 1. Exempt employers from being held guilty of unfair labor practices when they negotiated “for reasonable length of time and on a reasonable number of occasions” but failed to reach an agreement with employees. 2. Deny the protection of the labor act to unions which strike in

violation of contracts, or “without

presenting written demands or statements of grievances.” 3. Prevent the Board from vacating orders and instituting new. prcceedings when its orders are challenged in court; permit Federal District Court reviews of proceedings, and facilitate Court reviews of the Labor Board’s findings of fact, permitting Court reviews of election proceedings ordered by the Board. 4. Permit forcing the Board to call an election for selection of collective bargaining representatives, and provide for subsequent elections in .a plant when ‘it is shown that employee sentiment has changed as to representation. 5. Permit employers to donate halls, lighting and heating for union meetings without being held guilty of fostering company unions. 6. Prohibit the checkoff system of collecting dues, except in cases where the employee has authorized such a procedure.

Massachusetts Wins

Green Inheritance Case

WASHINGTON, March 13 (U. P.). —The Supreme Court ruled today, in effect, that Massachusetts is the only state which may levy inheritance taxes on the 37 million dollar estate of the late Edward H. R. Green, son of the famed eccentric multimillionairess Hetty Green. The ruling culminated bitter litigation involving Massachusetts, Florida, Texas and New York. Each state claimed that Green's legal domicile when he died in June, 1936, was within its border. Each claimed, therefore, the right to levy taxes on his huge estate. If all four states had been permitted to collect their assessments along with the Federal Government, the estate would wind Le with a deficit of more. than $1,500 Chief Justice Charles ' Evans Hughes was absent from the bench. He has been convalescing from an attack of grippe. He was able to

Strengthening bonds with Catholics in North and South America, where countries, because of their rapid development, were becoming less dependent on Europe. 2. The future of the Catholic Church in Spain after the end of the civil war. 3. The question of missionary work in China in view of Japanese conquests. 4. The racial problem in Italy, which may develop in such manner as to conflict with the VaticanItaly accord. 5. Relations with Mexico. 6. Relations with Soviet Russia. Cardinal Maglione was represented as agreeing on all major points of foreign policy with the new Pope, whom he succeeded as Secretary of State, and this was expected to facilitate the Pope’s peace work considerably. Cardinal Maglione was to receive the diplomatic corps of Vatican City, the College of Cardinals, members of the papal court and all foreign missions to the coronation this afternoon at the Pope's summer residence at Castel Gandolfo. The Pope today received in private audiénce Joseph P. Kennedy, American Ambassador at I.ondon, and other members of the American mission which attended his coronation yesterday. The Pope expressed gratitude that President Roosevelt had sent a representative to the coronation and sent his blessing to the people of the United States. He gave all the eight Kennedy children individual blessings and rosaries, Pope Pius was crowned at 1:04 p. m. (6:04 a. m., Indianapolis Time), yesterday on a balcony of St. Peter's. It was the end of the magnificent coronation . ceremony as part of which there was first a procession from the Vatican to St. Peter’s and then the service in the Basilica attended by 60,000 persons including 52 Cardinals, royalty from many lands and official delegations from all over the world. As the Pope appeared on the balcony, 500,000 persons massed in St. Peter's square cheered him. His Eminence Camillo Cardinal CacciaDominioni crowned Pius XII with the triple crown of the Supreme Pontiff. The Pope read two prayers and, wearing his crown, slowly made the sign of the cross over the heads of the 500,000. He imparted his apostolic blessing to the city and the world.
