. Roosevelt’ s Estimate Upset)
Additional Funds Added For Parity Payments;
by Committee to. Provide Federal Reserve Board
Head Says Retrenchment Invites Disaster.
WASHINGTON, March 23 (U.
P) —Tremendous farm relief pro-
posals derailed Congressional economy plans today, further jeopardizing tax revision to eliminate business deterrents.
The House Agriculture Committee reported a $1, 067.000 ,000 farm bill
which would break far over budget limitations and wipe out all or most |
economies éffected in previous appropriation bills,
That bill was approved as Chairman Eccles of the Federal Reservc System told a Senate committee studying silver problems that the * dispute over spending and economy should be brought to a prompt showdown. The Agriculture Bill, with 250 ) million added to provide parity price payments for farmers, is 160 million more than President Roosevelt’s budget estimates. House committees have been trimming appropriation bills and havc accumulated a potential saving of 83 million so far, not counting the 150 million taken from relief, most of which ultimately will be appropriated. Substantial Increase of Congressional appropriations over budgeted figures might persuade Mr. Roosevelt to return to his early January position that there should be some additional taxes to offset, unforeseen Federal expenses. If Congress must look for tax revenue above current income, the possibility of eliminating the corporation surplus and similar “business deterrent,” taxes would be| diminished.
Fiscal Picture Brightened
The fiscal picture was brightened somewhat, however, by word of better business from Treasury Secretary Morgenthau. He told his press conference today that unexpected corporation profits in the last quarter of 1938 were providing the treasury with more than anticipated tax revenue this month. Mr. Eccles’ testimony was in defense of spending. He said retrencliment would be “disastrous,” but added that this is a democracy and «the country is entitled to a clear cut and prompt determination of policy on this vital issue.” Mr. Eccles said a “great majority of people appear to believe” that business confidence would be restored if the budget were balanced, and that “the spurt of economic activity that would result would accomplish our common aim of re-

Not much economy could be effected in the regular establishments of the Government, which in the aggregate absorb only about one-tenth of the national budget. Such items as works relief projects, CCC camps, roads and public works of all kinds, veterans’ benefits, all farm benefit payments, and national defense—some or all of these would have to be drastically + curtailed. “This would not be my program, put if, as would appear, it is the program of the majority, they should assume full responsibility for it and put it into effect without de-

"WASHINGTON, March 23 (U. P.). —The House Appropriations Committee abruptly reversed its economy drive today by reporting to the House a $1,067,274,427 agriculture appropriation bill, $244,598,376 more than proposed by President Roosevelt.
Previously the Committee had trimmed Presidential recommendations about 83 million dollars, exclusive of relief costs. The boost in farm funds sends committeefecommended appropriations 160 millions above Administration budget figures. An attempt in the full committee
TAX RECEIPTS TURN UPWARD
Morgenthau, Pointing to Orderly Program.
WASHINGTON, March 23 (U. P)). — Treasury Secretary Mogenthau said that preparations for laying a tax program before Congress are
“proceeding in an orderly way.” He told his press conference that income tax returns this month afe running “considerably above our estimates.” This was regarded as significant because the Administration’s tax conferees have indicated that no definite determination of tax policy would be made until after March 15 income tax collections have been analyzed. Discussing the statement of Chairman Harrison (D. Miss.) of the Senate Finance Committee, who called for harmony among Democrats on all matters of policy, particularly taxes, Mr. Morgenthau said that: “The Treasury is ready and anxious to have an opportunitey to lay our tax study before the proper committee. The conferences which Undersecretary Hanes and I attended at the White House with Senator Harrison and Rep. Jere Cooper, I felt, were instructive and that we made progress. “Everything is going according to schedule and is proceeding in an orderly way.” Morgenthau said he did not have the actual figures on tax returns available, but said the unexpected increase apparently was largely due to the fact that many corporstions show profits in the last quarter of 1938.
WASHINGTON, March 23 (U. P.). —The House today passed and sent to the Senate a bill by Rep. John J. Dempsey (D. N. M.) to provide for exclusion and deportation of aliens who advocate making any fundamental changes in the American form of government. There was no
lay and without compromises for the benefit of any special groups.”

Wallace Says Farmers

—just before the bill was reported—to strike out the 250-million-dollar parity payments and the additional amount authorized by the subcommittee above budget figures for soil conservation failed by a tie vote.of 17 to 17.
Woodrum Asks Economy
The motion was made by Re Clifton A. Woodrum (D. Va.), leader of House economy advocates. The measure was reported to the House after testimony by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace that former European markets appear to be irrevocably lost as outlets for American farm products. immediate development of Western Hemisphere markets to replace those lost in Europe. Present world conditions, Mr. Wallace said, make it impossible for the United States to regain world markets which in the 1920s took products from 50 million acres of American farm land. That market was made possible ‘by huge loans to Europe for the purchase of American commodities, he said. Mr, Wallace defended Administration of the farm program and asked its continuation. He said farm income still is 40 per cent short of a desirable level, and that the farm program has guarded farmers from the “disquieting world situation and Seslineg in domestic business condions.”
Expects Higher Income
~ As business improves, “farm income is expected to improve and might conceivably be restored to the 1937 level,” he said. “This,” he said, “calls for holding on to the income and price supporting devices of the present agricultural programs.” The increase in the farm bill was entirely accounted for by a 250-mil-lion-clollar appropriation for parity price payments to farmers. The Administration budget made no pro-|, vision for these payments although Congress last year supplied 212 million dollars for this purpose. The committee asserted that Mr. Roosevelt's failure to ask for money for parity payments—funds to bring farm income up to the estimated correct, proportion of national income—was “not believed to reflect SESTMlive disapproval of the item itse nn

REORGANIZATION BACK IN HOUSE
er|Returned for Study After
Senate Passes Bill Minus Wheeler Clause.
(Editorial, Page 22)
WASHINGTON, March 23 (U. P.). -—The House was expected to send the Government Reorganization Bill to conference today to consider amendments approved by the Senate. The bill, giving the President limited authority to co-ordinate Federal agencies in the interest of economy, passed the Senate yesterday by a vote of 63 to 23 after Administration forces won a reversal on the controversial Wheeler amendment which would have placed greater restrictions on the Chief Executive’s power. : Chavez Switches
On Tuesday, the Senate adopted the Wheeler proposal, 46 to 43. Administration leaders began a strong drive to whip bolting Democrats back in line, and obtained assurance from Senator Chavez (D. N. M. that he would change his vote. Tuesday's action was reconsidered yesterday, and the Administration scored a 46 to 44 victory eliminating the Wheeler admendment and retaining the House-approved provision that reorganization orders be-: come effective within 60 days after their submission ‘ unless Congress “vetoes” them. The Wheeler amendment would have required "affirmative Congressional action on all orders. Many Agencies Exempted
. The bill permits the President to co-ordinate or abolish various agencies, but does not allow him to abolish an agency unless its func-
partment. More than a score of agencies are placed on an exempt list so that they can not be disturbed in any manner. The Senate wrote into the measure an amendment by Senator Byrd, (D. Va.) which would place Congress on record for substantial economies in Government operations.
DEFENSE PROGRAM NEAR COMPLETION
(Editorial, Page 22)
—Congress today neared completion of President Roosevelt's national defense program and was ready to turn its attention to the “methods short; of war” which the President proposed to use against aggressors. Spurred by events in Europe, the House yesterday voted a 186 milliondollar second Deficiency Bill which carried 125 million dollars for defense and then without debate approved and sent to the White House the Emergency Defense Bill authorizing an increase in Army air power to 5000 planes.
Neutrality Changes Due
The 358 million-dollar defense bill was expected to be signed quickly by the President. Besides authorizing new planes, it strengthens Panama Canal defenses, increases the size of the Army and equips it with additional supplies of war materials. The chief of the “methods short of war” will be provided when and if Congress revises the Neutrality Act, as proposed in several measures, including that of Chairman Pittman (D. Nev.) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Senator Pittman’s measure would permit sales of munitions to belligerents on a cash-and-carry basis. claims it would aid Great Britain and France in a possible war with Germany and Italy. Another of the “short of war” proposal—a bill to permit Latin American republics to purchase warships and other war equipment here at the cheapest possible cost—was under consideration by the Senate Foreign Relations: Committee. High officials of the State, War and Navy Departments testified that enactmnt of the measure was essential to Pan-American solidarity.

HIS TREASURY POST|
(Last of Se of Series)
_ By THOMAS. [AS L. STOKES : Times Special Writer - WASHINGTON, March 23. —Forecasts are being made freely hereabouts now that Republicans appear destined to return to power in 1940. The prophets include Democrats. This is rather extraordinary when one considers that both branches of Congress still are topheavy with Democrats—at least in name. Republican gains In the November election still left them far short of
a majority in the Senate, where th
they number only 23 out of 96; while 169 in the House is somewhat under the necessary 218 required for a majority. It all becomes clear, however, when you watch from House and Senate galleries, day after day, on key rollcalls and see Democrats ipiit off in large numbers to be counted with Republicans in opposition. In effect, Congress is almost evenly divided on major issues. The Republican resurgence in Congress thus is negative in actuality. They are heirs: of the Deniocratic Party split. As for the last election, it] was a case of Democrats being voted cut,

Not principle, but self-interest, is e rule. Accordingly, Senator McNary (Ore.), Senate Republican leader, and Rep. Joseph W. Martin (Mass), House Republican leader, are throw - ing their blocks of votes into the breach with conservative Democrais and thus helping to ‘discredit the President. Leader Martin has gone about organization of his minority in a businesslike way. The Republican House leader likewise has done a good technical job, keeping his disciplined following at work on the floor of the House, thereby occasionally overturning the
