‘Desired’ Legislation Omits Change in Pay Law, Corporate Tax

: NATIONAL AFFAIRS : M’NUTT opens drive in Capital (Page One). EX-SENATOR F. H. Brown appointed Controller. CONGRESS may adjourn in late June. HOUSE argues further relief slash. ROOSEVELT speeds to Warm Springs. SENATE seeks to “relax” pay law. ~ CORCORAN, Cohen seen as assistant presidents.

WASHINGTON, March 30 (U. P.).—Senate Majority Leader Barkley

(D. Ky.) today chose late June as

the probable adjournment date of

Congress and outlined for the remaining months a 10-point “desirable”

legislative program which scrapped peasement plans.

all but one phase of business ap-

Revision of the corporate tax structure, proposed amendments to the Wagner Labor Relations Act and changes in the Wage-Hour Law were not included. But Senator Barkley emphasized that “any or all pending proposals could pass.” He said he was not putting anything in a “must”

category. x Senator Barkley’s “desirable” list, announced a few hours after conferring with President Roosevelt, follows: : 1. Railroad recovery. 2. Regular appropriations. 3. Continuation of 750 million dollars in nuisance taxes, which expire June 30. 4, Amendment of Social Security Act to keep payroll taxes at the 1 per cent another year. 5. Some form of neutrality legislation. 6. Unemployment relief. 7. Farm relief, but probably no general rewriting of the present Farm Act. 8. Extension of bond issuing authority of U. S. Housing Authority to 800 million dollars, and of the Federal Housing Administration from three to four billion. 9. Reciprocal taxation in line with recent Supreme Court decisions. 10. Remaining national defense measures. Tax Collections Up

He did not explain why corporate ° tax revision, suggested by Treasury officials and some members of Conress as an aid to business, was mitted. However, it was reported reliably that Mr. Roosevelt believed -abandonment of the Social Security payroll tax increase would satisfy business. . : Supporters of a business-aid tax program were encouraged today by Treasury disclosure that income tax collections this month exceeded 500 million dollars, considerably better than anticipated. Collections in the first 28 days of March totaled $501,068,010 as compared with $716,774,335 in the same period last year. Budget estimates had calculated March income taxes at approximately 425 million dollars. : Because Treasury Secretary Morgenthau is absent on vacation and the House Ways and Means Committee is busy with social security legislation, it was considered unlikely that the tax program, if any, will be developed before mid-April. Meanwhile business rapprochement went forward on another front. Representatives of the electrical manufacturing industry began a two-day conference with Commerce Department officials to exchange trade views and to become better acquainted with foreign and domestic trade facilities.

Hopkins Sends Message

“This is the first: such meeting ‘since I became Secretary of Commerce,” Harry Hopkins said in a message to the conference, “and represents concrete evidence that the Department of Commerce can work hand in hand with business to implement a practical approach to business problems.” Chairman Wheeler (D. Mont.) of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee, today introduced a bill to give the ICC jurisdiction over all types of carrfers—rail, water, highway and air. Its regulation of airlines would be confined to rate making Senator Wheeler said the measure was a “key bill” of a broad program which will be developed through supplemental legislation.

HOUSE TO ARGUE SLASH IN RELIEF

Economy Bloc Aims at Further Cut After Senate Agrees to 100 Million.

WASHINGTON, March 30 U. P.).—The House begins debate today on President Roosevelt's request for additional relief funds. Economy advocates will seek to reduce the bill even below the 100 million dollars to which it was cut by the Appropriations Subcommittee. Mr. Roosevelt had asked for 150 million dollars.

The economy bloc claimed the support of farm representatives, who are disgruntled over failure of the Administration and big-relief advocates to support an unbudgeted 250 million dollar appropriation for agricultural parity payments. Administration leaders assailed the Subcommittee’s reduction and said they would fight to restore the 150 million dollar figure through an amendment to be offered by Chairman Adolph J. Sabath (D. Ill.) of the Rules Committee. .Rep. Eugene Cox (D. Ga.), bitter WPA critic, said he would introduce an amendment to cut the bill another 50 million dollars. Despite the farm-economy coalition, it was believed enough Democrats would back the 100-million-dollar figure to assure its approval but Administration leaders saw little hope of raising it.

F.D.R. URGES STATES T0 WORK TOGETHER

‘TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala, March 30 (U. P.).—President Roosevelt, in a brief speech before students at Tuskegee Institute, called today for closer co-operation among the states. “Alabama cannot hoe its own row any more than can my own state of Georgia,” Mr. Roosevelt told several hundred students of the famed Negro educational institution. “We must work with the other fellow.” He declared that no state can be self-contained and aloof as was possible 30 years ago. He paid tribute to the accomplishments of Tuskegee for development of the Negro in education. From Tuskegee the Presidential party motored to Auburn, where Mr. Roosevelt planned a brief address before students of Alabama Polytechnic Institute this afternoon. From there the party will proceed to Warm Springs, Ga.

SENATE DESIRES PAY LAW CHANGE

Speeds Movement to Relax Provisions Applying to ‘White Collars.’

WASHINGTON, March 30 (U. P.). —Chairmen of the Senate and House Labor Committees began a drive today to relax the provisions of the Wage-Hour Law as applied to high salaried workers and employees of small semiagricultural industries.

Chairman Elbert D. Thomas (D. Utah) of the Senate Education and Labor Committee will introduce the proposed changes in the Senate today. His bill will be a companion measure to that introduced in the House yesterday by Chairman Mary T. Norton (D. N. J.) of the Labor Committee. Mrs. Norton called her committee to consider her bill which was prepared after consultation with WageHour Administrator Elmer F. Andrews. They will study proposals to fix new hours limitations for 16 specific industries engaged in “first processing” of perishable and seasonable agricultural commodities and to exempt from hour and overtime provisions all persons paid on a monthly basis and guaranteed $200 a month or more salary. The House today passed a bill supplying a two-million-dollar deficiency for the U. S. Employment Commission to pay claims for injuries to WPA workers.

A Sad Joke— There Isn't Any ‘Catch’

A Camp Dellwood farmer and his 16-year-old helper today nursed head injuries and a determination to catch the burglars who were responsible for their battering each other. The helper, Gerdon Felcher, saw a strange car parked in the driveway when he returned home last night. Armed with a two-by-four, he crept into the barn in search of burglars who recently had been reported in the neighborhood. :

The farmer, Garvey Frizzell, saw the car about the same time. Picking up a flashlight, he too went te the barn. Each thought the other was a burglar in the dark and the . socking began. Then they recognized each cther’s voices. The strange car had disappeared in the meantime. Both men went to City Hospital for treatment.

3 NEW BILLS DRAWN T0 RELIEVE FARMERS

WASHINGTON, March 30 (U. P.). —The Senate Agriculture Committee today reported three bills designed to help farmers liquidate surpluses held under Government loans and to increase their incomes toward parity. Cotton sections of the plan were advanced as a substitute for President Roosevelt's export subsidy proposal. The bills would: : 1. Permit cotton farmers to repossess a maximum of three million bales from ‘the 11 million surplus held under Government loans upon payment of 3 cents per pound to the Government and an agreement to retire acreage which would produce a comparable amount of new cotton. 2. Give farmers a subsidy payment of 3 cents or less on cotton produced on acreage allotments made in the soil conservation program. 3. As an alternate plan, remove restrictions from the production of

the major commodities and guaran-|

tee the farmer the cost of production on commodities sold for domestic use.

RELATIVES CONFER ON MACHADO BURIAL SITE

6| —Relatives of Gerardo Machado, ¢| former Cuban President who died

here yesterday, expected to decide today whether he will be buried in Cuba from which he fled in 1933 when his dictatorship was overthrown. Hernando Villapol, Senor Machado’s secretary, said “many friends in Cuba are asking us to take the body there,” but indicated the family was inclined against it. :

BURGLAR EVIDENTLY ‘GOES FOR’ ORANGES

Mr. Kerns said nothing was missing last Sunday when burglars gained entrance, but a week ago Sunday they took $15 worth of oranges.

the ranks of the Demaecratic Party in 1940. : “For victory and success in November, support Paul V. McNutt, a born leader and your kind of a Democrat.” :

Hoey Is Indorsed

Another favorite son candidate was chosen last night by the North Carolina House of Representatives. It passed a resolution indorsing Governor Hoey as Democratic candidate for President in 1940. Mr. Hoey said he “had no illusion about the matter” but was grateful for “a most gracious gesture.”

He is recognized as a conservative Democrat, who, although pro-New Deal, has not favored all of its policies. Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Farley, who is both Postmaster General and Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, are considered unfriendly to Mr. McNutt. The circumstances of their misunderstanding were set forth in Mr. Farley's book, “Behind the Ballots.” Mr. Farley feels that Mr. McNutt double-crossed him at the 1932 Democratic National Convention and the consensus here is that Mr. Farley will do all he can to prevent Mr. McNutt’s nomination. _ McNutt-for-President activity already has created some “stop-Mc-Nutt” sentiment. Those opposed to the former Governor insist that he will be unable to obtain delegates in such states as Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and Michigan. Mr. McNutt, himself, has not announced his candidacy. But his campaign headquarters was opened Jan. 1 in Indianapolis, and, of course, with his knowledge and consent.

Presents McNutt Record

Mr. McHale's appeal cited that the 1938 Democratic State Convention indorsed Mr. McNutt for Presidential nomination. In pamphlet form, he presented the McNutt record: Age 47; married to Kathleen Timolat of Texas; one daughter; graduate of Indiana and Harvard Law Schools; former dean of the Indiana University Law School; World War artilleryman; former National Commander of the American Legion. Mr. McHale wrote that Indiana had breadlines and that mobs had stormed the Capitol steps before Mr. McNutt was inaugurated in 1933. The State had a seven-million deficit. Mr. McNutt, he continued, reduced real estate taxes, cut utility rates to users, trimmed State expenditures, reorganized State Government and broadened the tax base, leaving a prosperous state with a 10«million surplus and no debt left the Governor’s office.

SENATE STRIKES AT STAMP-FREE U. 8. PUBLICITY

Amendment Would Reduce Mailing Cost of Data by 15 Million Annually.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, March 30.—As a measure of economy, the Senate inserted in the appropriation bill for the Treasury and Postoffice Departments a provision designed to reduce the bulk of printed matter mailed free by the Government departments and executive agencies. The amendment, sponsored by Senator O'Mahoney 4D. Wyo.), former First Assistant Postmaster General, would reduce the cost of mailing such material by some 15 million dollars annually, it is estimated. The present cost is 35 million dollars. Curtailed sharply, in particular, would be tons of matter sent out by the publicity divisions of the various departments and agencies, which hereafter, under the amendment, could mail only to persons

{who make specific requests.

Lavish Distribution Hit

The lavish distribution of publicity material by the Government under the New Deal has been much criticized. 1t has ‘been singled out especially by newspapers and magazines, editorially and in articles, in their campaigns for Government economy. Newspapers and magazines, themselves, enjoy a sizable subsidy from the Government in special rates— and even, within a single county, by free distribution—for their issues. This subsidy, representing the difference between what they pay for Government mail service and what it actually costs the Postoffice Department to deliver, amounts to around 90 million dollars a year. This has to be made up by higher rates on other classes of mail and by general taxation. “There are about 26,000 newspapers and other publications enjoying the low rates accorded second-class matter,” Postmaster General Farley said. “Although their mailings, which amount to more than 1,200,000,000 pounds a year, comprise almost onefourth of ‘all the mails, the postage derived therefrem, amounting to less than $21,000,000 annually, is approximately but one-thirtieth of the total postage collected.

Loss Is 80 Million

“This entails a loss of 90 million dollars a year which must, of course, be made up by higher postage charges on other classes of mail than would otherwise be necessary, or from funds raised by general taxation.” 2 The Postoffice Department, without the 90 million dollar loss through magazine and newspaper service, would be able to show a profit. Distribution of publicity material, which would be hit under the the O'Mahoney amendment, has 1ncreased considerably during the New Deal. The cost of all free mail from departments and agencies jumped from $14,315,000 in 1933 to $23,084,000 in 1934, and by last year it had reached 35 million dollars. The Treasury-Postoffice bill is still in conference between House and Senate.

FIEND SOUGHT AS ACTRESS’ CLUBBER

HOLLYWOOD, March 30 (U. P.). —Police believed today that Delia Bogart, 17-year-old actress who was struck down and dangerously injured on a Hollywood street early yesterday, was the latest victim of a cunning degenerate who waylays defenseless women and assaults or robs as chance permits. After a 30-hour search of the exclusive residential neighborhood where the: attack occurred, Capt. D. R. Patton, of the homicide department, said police had not even the slightest lead save the knowledge that the man sought was the same one who murdered beautiful Anya Sosyeva, Russian dancer. Capt. Patton had questioned two suspects. Miss Bogart, meanwhile, remained in a semiconscious condition and physicians at the county hospital said she had only a 50-50 chance to survive. Her skull was fractured.

Viola Olsen, Kingman marriage license clerk, was so thrilled when the film actor and his blond fiancee walked into the Court House at dusk that she couldn’t speak. Mr. Gable grinned and said: “I'm Clark Gable. I'd like to get a marriage license.” He gave his age as 38. Miss Lombard said she was 29. The clerk drove with them to the Rev. Mr. Engle’s rectory. The young minister called in his wife, and went next door for Howard Cate, mathematics teacher in the Kingman High School. Mr. Gable and Miss Lombard sat in the rectory parlor, whispering. After the Methodist marriage service, Mr. Gable kissed his bride. “No, I didn’t kiss her, much as I would have liked to,” said chief witness Mr. Cate. Mr. Cate said Mr. Gable, the reallife bridegroom, was not Gable, the sophisticated lover of the screen. “They were quite lovey-dovey,” he said. : Mr. Gable will take his bride to his big rambling home on a ranch in .San Fernaando Valley, north of Hollywood, where currently he raises oranges.

BEST BET-GOHEN AND CORCORAN

Both Believed at Top of List Of Possible Assistant Presidents.

WASHINGTON, March 30 (U.P.). —Best bet for today’s daily double would be on Thomas G. Corcoran and Benjamin V. Cohen to be among the first Assistant Presidents in the nation’s history. The Government Reorganization Bill now ready for President Roosevelt’s signature establishes six such officials at $10,000 a year. Mr. Roosevelt asked for additional help and indicated the type of man sought by explaining that his as-sistants-to-be would have a passion for anonymity. The description fits both Mr. Corcoran and Mr. Cohen, who is from Muncie, Ind. They have conceived some and drafted and helped enact many fundamental New Deal bills. Both now are on the Government pay roll, Mr. Cohen as general counsel of PWA’s National Power Policy Commission and Mr. Corcoran as a trustee of the Electric Home and Farm Authority and special counsel of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
