Sovernment Reorganization Bill so 3s to restrict President Roosevelt's

powers. . . The Senate voted 46 to 44 to reponsider it action of yesterday. The vote to reconsider the amendment by Senator Wheeler (D. Mont.) was believed to presage plimination of the restriction. The Senate, however, remained almost evenly divided on the Wheeler - amendment. Yesterday the me ‘won by a single vote and a proposal to table a reconsideration measure lost by a tie vote, Today's vote to reconsider was equally narrow. . =

heeler Seeks Restriction

Senator Wheeler's proposal would add to the bill a proviso that Presidential recommendations for reorganization of agencies and departments could not become effective unless \approved specifically by both Houses of Congress. The bill as passed by the House provides the changes shall become effective unless disapproved by Conpress within 60 days. Republicans yesterday cast a solid bloc of 21 votes for the Wheeler amendment, which was also supported by 23 Democrats and two Farmer - Laborites. Against the amendment were 41 Democrats, one Independent and one Progressive. Mr. Truman was the only Senator not voting. The others were paired. The Wheeler amendment lost, 39 to 43, last year when the Senate considered the reorganization bill.

Withdrawal of Amlie

Nomination Is Hinted

WASHINGTON, March 22 (U. B.). —Reliable sources today said President Roosevelt has intimated that he would like to withdraw the nomInation of Thomas R. Amlie to be an Interstate Commerce Commissioner, provided Mr. Amlie has no pbjection. The President’s position was said to have been made known to Mr. Amlie. The White House denied the story, but it was known that some Senators Lig sought to persuade Mr. Roosevelt to withdraw the nomination. | The appointment of Mr. Amlie, formet Wisconsin Progressive Congressman, precipitated protest in the Senate and among businessmen. ‘The xd him as Legislature de-

nounced him as a Communist. A Senate Interstate Commerce subcommittee, headed by Senatcr Johnson (D. Colo.), has had Mr. Amlie’s appointment under consideration for weeks. A vote has been delayed in the hope that the President would withdraw the nomination or that Mr. Amlie would step aside voluntarily. The subcommittee at present stands four to one against Mr. Amlie.

Committee Meets as Meas“ure to Curb War Profits Is Introduced.

WASHINGTON, March 22 (U. P.). —State, War and Navy Department officials today urged the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee to approve a resolution that would enable South American nations to buy warships and munitions in this country lat the lowest possible cost. The resolution, designed to combat Nazi-Fascist influence .in the Western Hemisphere, was sponsored by Committee Chairman Key Pittman (D. Nev.).

Admiral Leahy Is Heard ;

Admiral William D. Leahy, Chief of Naval Operations, told the Committee that-the Administration proposal would aid defense of the Western Hemisphere. Admiral Leahy told the Committee the proposal, in case of emergency, would aid the Navy “in ex-

{act proportion to the number of ef-

‘ficient ships available to other republics of America.” The Committee heard Mr. Leahy and other Administration spokesmen in executive session. It voted to consider Senator Pittman’s resolution for revision- of U. S. neutrality laws next Wednesday and to set a date for hearings at that time. The resolution for building warships for South American nations would allow the United States to compete on a favorable basis with European countries. Official figures show that at present more than 75 per cent of Latin American warships have heen purchased in Europe Profits Bill Presented

Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles informed the Committee last week that the Administration desires enactment of the resolution to improve and strengthen in-ter-American solidarity. He said such legislation would increase employment in this country. As the Committee met, the Senate Finance Committee received a bill, signed by 50 Senators, more than a majority, to “tax the profits out of war.” The measure, introduced by a group headed by Senators Gerald P. Nye (R. N. D.) and Homer T. Bone (D. Wash.) and including Senator VanNuys (D. Ind.), is designed to “discourage war profiteering” and “to keep democracy alive.”

bythe C: I, O. or anyone else,” Mr. Rich said. Meanwhile, it was evident that Government economy was on the skids “and- the tax reform part of business appeasement appeared to depend largely on adoption of methods which’ have little positive support from the White House. Economy appears to be caught between President Roosevelt's refusal to accept substantial reduction on relief spending and the inability of Congressional economizers to agree on cuts in any other field. But Congress may take charge of tax revision to abolish so-called business deterrent taxes and substitute for the income derived from them somewhat higher taxes on corporation income, There must be a tax bill this year to continue manufacturer’s excise levies, the socalled nuisance taxes. That will open the gate for tax revision.

Dilemma Is Described

Mr. Roosevelt told his press conference yesterday that tax revisionists were confronted with a dilemma which, simply stated, was as follows: If existing excess profits, capital stock, undistributed profits and carryover loss provisions of the tax structure are abandoned there will be a loss of 220 to 230 million dollars of annual revenue to the Treasury. He said that would have to be made up by increasing the corporation income tax but that the 153,000 small corporations among the 200,000 which pay taxes would protest and probably could not stand increased ‘income tax. Therefore, ‘he suggested it might be necessary to limit the increase to the big corporations with incomes over $10,000 a year. -And the President said he. doubted if that wouid be popular. At the same time House Administration leaders hoped to settle the fight over President Roosevelt's request for additional relief funds by compromising on a figure higher than the 100 million dollar maximum set by the economy bloc. They appeared to be holding out for 125 million dollars, but reportedly have abandoned hope of getting the full 150 million dollars Mr. Roosevelt said would ke necessary before April 1 to avoid drastic. cuts in WPA employment. Subcommittee action on the bill was postponed until tomorrow after a week’s hearings closed yesterday.

Compulsory Health Insurance Attacked

Countries which have compulsory health insurance get less effective medical service than those in which such insurance is voluntary, Dr. Alfred Adson of the Mayo Foundation Graduate School told Junior Chamber of Commerce members this afternoon. / ; Dr. Adson is a delegate to the sectional meeting of the American College of Surgeons. The Junior Chamber helds its luncheon meeting at the Canary Cottage. “I question whether anyone in my audience can name five families which are without medical care,” Dr. Adson said. “We have charity Hospitals and doctors give freely of | their service. Aside from the great amount of outright charity service, the physician is fortunate if he collects 60 to 70 per cent of his bills.”

‘Wires Are Crossed Up,’ Causing Confusion in Capital.

(Sixth of a Series)

By THOMAS IL. STOKES Times Special Writer : WASHINGTON, March 22.—Emphasis here shifted from reform to recovery following the November election. At the same time there was a shift of power within Congress toward conservatism. Within the Administration, there is a group which has leaned toward more conservative policy, toward retrenchment and encouragement to business. Its chief sponsor is Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau and its chief missionary is his assistant secretary, the personable and clever John W. Hanes. The inside New Deal group, headed by Secretary of Commerce Hopkins, which is presumed to speak and act for President Roosevelt, embarked = enthusiastically a few weeks ago upon a program of appeasement with appropriate gestures to business and the olive branch was waved about cheerfully. All this should have spelled something. Doesn’t Work Out

But it doesn’t seem to be working out that way. The New Deal group has encountered difficulties along the way, it has become evident. Although President Roosevelt has closed the door to further reform at] . this time, the New Deal group apparently has not been able to carry| him along in a business encouragement program to the extent which Mr, Hopkins seemed to promise in his speech at Des Moines. For the President now seems to close the door to revision of corporation taxes that would anywhere near approach the various programs suggested—if he will consent to any modification at all; and, as for retrenchment, he again has reiterated that he is against reduction in the spending program,

Purpose in Appointment

The wires have been crossed up plenty, and this is responsible for the confusion here and the conflicting stories that go out of Washington. Harry Hopkins was appointed Secretary of Commerce ostensibly to speak for the Administration to business. When Mr. Hopkins made his Des Moines speech, when he talked for days with businessmen, it was assumed this was on the authority of President Roosevelt. Secretary Morgenthau has been reversed by the President before and | | not too much confidence was placed in the overtures that he made. An explanation of what has happened may lie in the wide breach to be spanned between President Roosevelt’s- determination not to yield on fundamentals and the demands of business and of the conservatives in Congress headed by Vice President Garner. “The trouble about appeasing business,” one Congressional leader put it,” is that when you open the door business wants everything. What they really want is to have the New Deal repealed.”
