BUDGET BALANCING

1941

3-WAY

Special Senate Group Suggests Ceiling on Debt as One

Plan While Move Tax Brings

WASHINGTON, April 29 (U. P.).—A special Senate committee today proposed three measures for automatically Committee Chairman Millard E. Tyvdings (D. Md.) described this goal as “essential to

balancing the Federal budge

national defense.” The measures, which the committee instructed Mr. Tydings to introduce immediately in the Senate, were drafted as the House Ways and Means Committee continued to hear taxpayers e.tify on the pending $3,600,000,000 revenue bill. * Bach of the three Senate measures would require automatic enactment of taxes to meet expenditures. The first balanced budget measure would require the Treasury to estimate average Federal expenditures from a base period of 1930-40. A tax schedule to meet this figure— to be known as the annual normal Federal expense—would be enacted. Congress would be permitted to amortize abnormal expenses, such

as high defense expenditures, over a 20-year period.

Ceiling on Debt Suggested

A second measure would amend the Constitution by putting a ceiling on the national debt at the level existing when the bill is enacted. The third measure would require Congress to enact taxes to meet peacetime expenditures within one year, and agin 20 vears for emergency spending. The Senate Finance Committee,

meantime, decided to await House |

passage of the $3,600.000.000 revenue bill before beginning its work on the measure. At the same time the

committee approved a House bill ex- |

tending the three-cent first-class postage rates for two more years.

Object to Sales Tax

Several committee members, meantime, rebuffed proposals for a general sales tax to help raise the desired revenue. Opposition to a general sales tax, suggested in several quarters despite President Roosevelt's opposition to such a plan, followed the announcement by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr, that he was opposed to any tax that would hit the “poor man’s table” The joint Congressional committee of experts on taxalion had suggested raising $217,000,000 by levies on sugar, coffee, tea and COCOA. Opposes Retail Tax

Rep. Willis Robertson (D. Va) gaid he did not believe the Committee would substitute sales taxes for the Treasury proposal to raise £1.521.000.000 by steeply graduated surtaxes on incomes Rep. Wesley Disney (D. Okla), plso a member of the Ways and Means Committee, said a retail sales tax was “nonsense.” He favors a general manufacturers’ excise tax. Mr. Morgenthau said he was “100 per cent against” food taxes because “a tax on the poor man’s table goes against everything this Administration has worked and stood for.” The Treasury has submitted its own program for increased excise and luxury taxes and some 27 new excises, but proposed no taxes on foods. Seven witnesses were scheduled for today included C. V. Sursa, Muncie, Ind. representing the Muncie Industrial Council. Witnesses who opposed portions of the Treasury tax plan met demands from the Committee yesterday that they submit specific alternatives. The general sales tax was urged by WwW. J. Schieffelin Jr, of the New York State Chamber of Commerce.

F. 0. A WAR POLICY SUPPORTED IN POLL

NEW YORK, April 29 (U. P)— {Fortune magazine reported today that American business executives “overwhelmingly approve” of President Roosevelt's foreign policy and of Wendell L.. Willkie's indorsement of it and disapprove of the opposition voiced by Charles A. Lindbergh and Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.)

A poll of executive opinion, which |

included “almost all the top men in business management,” the magazine said, showed that 84.1 per cent believed a German victory “should ‘be prevented at almost any cost,” and 90.6 per cent felt the armament | program “must be pressed vigorously | forward.” | Almost half of those polled, For(tune said, favor development of the defense program “at the expense of ‘business as usual” and 554 per cent disapproved the stand of Col. | Lindbergh and Senator Wheeler.

PSYCHOLOGY IS £0G IN DEFENSE

EARLY RIPPER RULING HINTED

‘Prompt’ Decision Promised On Constitutionality Of Key Measures.

By VERN BOXELL

An early decision on constitutionality of the Republican ‘“decentralization” laws appeared possible] today after the Indiana Supreme Court said it would rule on that question in a G. O. P, appeal from a Democratic injunction.

effect Thursday, the appointing

trol of State House administration | and patronage to the G. O, P, are

| enjoined by an order granted by Circuit Judge Ear] R. Cox. In an opinion late yesterday, the high State court said: “The | constitutional questions which may | be presented herein will be promptly considered without further request when they have been adequately briefed and orally argued. | We shall look to the substance not |the form of the brief nor the order {in which they may be filed. Rea- | sonable requests for time to amend or supplement briefs may be | granted.”

No Dissenting Opinion

In another opinion the court |said: “In their petition, the Re- | publican officials asserted that in [the appeal from injunction they cannot raise questions of constitutionality. We think otherwise. “If the statutes are constitutional, the injunction should not have been granted. If they are un- | constitutional, as charged in the complaint, a property right and ir- | reparable damage having been al{leged and found, the Circuit Court | had jurisdiction to issue an injunction. If the relief granted was too | broad, because some of the statutes but not all are constitutional, the |injunction may be modified at the | mandate of this court.” Arthur L. Gilliom, G. O. P. chief |counsel, said the briefs in the ap{peal had been ready for filing today. | “We also are preparing a supple- | ment,” he said, “discussing constitu- | tionality of the statutes. It will be ready probably Thursday or Friday.” The Republican attorneys have claimed for weeks that the constitu[tional question had not and could | not be raised in the appeal. They (had urged the court to follow “or|derly judicial procedure and not set la bad precedent.” | Attorney General George Beamer | said today: “We are delighted with |the expression of the court. We |had felt all along that the court could and would decide the consti- | tutionality question in this appeal. | We are anxious for an early de- | cision.” The two decisions yesterday over{ruled Attorney General Beamer'’s [request for immediate oral arguments on the G. O. P. appeal from | the injunction and denied a Repub[lican motion for a rehearing on their petition for a writ of prohibition. There was no dissenting opinion in |either case. The Court last week | denied the original petition, sought {to halt Judge Cox from enforcing his injunction,

Schricker Suits Moved

Action on the three declaratory judgment suits filed in mid-March

by Governor Schricker to test legality of the new laws still is pending. On a change of venue sought by the Republicans, the cases were moved to Hamilton County yesterday. The Circuit Court there is presided over by Judge C. M. Gentry, a Republican. If the constitutional question is not settled before these suits come to trial, Democratic counsel also may take a change of venue. All the Circuit Courts surrounding | Hamilton are presided over by Democratic judges.

ROUT LEGLESS MAN IN SIEGE AT HOME

A 58-year-old legless man, rcuted from his home by tear gas after he

is alleged to have fired five random shots at police, faced arraignment on three charges in Municipal Court this afternoon. Two squads of police were sent to the home of William Netherton, 1504 Blaine Ave., last night on a report that an intoxicated man was in the house and firing a revolver through the door. When the squads were unable to enter the house, they sent for the emergency squad. Sergt. James Senteney tossed a tear gas bomb through the window just as another shot was fired through the door. Police then waited. In about five minutes, they reported, Netherton opened the door, shouting, “Don’t shoot; I've been gassed.” Police charged him with intoxication, vagrancy and violating the 1935 Firearms Act. They said he lost his legs in a railroad accident.

Physical training of Indianapolis vouth is entrusted to Emil Rath, for seven years director of physical education in the public schools and a pioneer in recreation for more than 40 years. : This is the man who heads the Indianapolis Times - City Marbles Tournament this year. Vigorous, physically sturdy at 63, Mr. Rath is a firm believer in the doctrine of a sound mind in a sound body. As a corollary to this proposition, recreation must be an exact science and he has tried to make it so in Indianapolis. The ruddy, white-haired muscle builder has made the physical wellbeing of youngsters his life’s work. He has watched two generations of men and women come out of the schools and playgrounds and take their places in the life of the nation. The third generation will show his influence. As schoolboys are trained academically and vocationally to participate in community affairs, it follows that their physical training would fit them to cope with the stress of modern tempo. The pro-

883823388835388888 SCRe832385552255082

gram is trying to do that. Mr. Rath and the sehjols are in-

terested ‘in developing young men and women whose physical conditioning gives them alertness, quickness of movement and muscular control. : Games are important, especially the games at which the youngster will become proficient enough to want to play after he leaves school. Mr. Rath began his career as a physical educator in the pioneer playground system of Pittsburgh in 1909. From there he entered the Normal College of the American Gymnastic Union as instructor and later dean until 1934, when he took his present position. Last year Mayor Reginald M. Sullivan appointed him to head the physical education department of the City Recreation Training School. Then it was for the first time in many years that Mr. Rath renewed his contact with public playground work. The success of his efforts in the Recreation school may be measured by improvement in the City’s recreation program, a result of the training schooi. Mr. Rath is helping train the playground instructors again this year. More than that, he is helping th new generation play better,

lature are effective on that date. officials were to pass out the jobs. It’s only a few hours more until May 1, but the big day has lost its appeal for the G. O. P. There are no jobs open for the time being. And despite the Supreme Court's promise to rule on the constitutionality of the G. O. P. laws, challenged by the Democrats, at the earliest time possible, it will be several weeks before it's known definitely whether the Republicans get any of the jobs. The new laws which held so much hope will go into effect all right, but the appointing provisions are tied up by a Democratic injunction. The G. O. P. attorneys have been saying that Governor Schricker intends to make all the appointments himself where boards and commissions have been expanded. But to date, he hasn't made any moves in that direction. The 1933 McNutt Reorganization Act, a campaign issue ever since its passage, will go into the ash can at midnight tomorrow. It was dealt two lethal blows by the Legislature—once in the “big ripper” bill and by a separate repealer. It's demise will break the Governor's strangle hold on all patronage. If the new G. O. P. laws intended to replace it are declared constitutional, this patronage will fall under Republic an-dominated boards of which the Goverror is a minority member. If they are held legal, there are at least a dozen different opinions on what will happen ultimately.

‘Stout Act Not Clear

STARTING Thursday, Indiana will operate under a new liquor law, Governor Schricker has renamed the present State Board and most of the 92 counties have set up bi-partisan local boards which have increased power in administernig liquor control. For the most part, the Stout Act has won acclaim as a good law. It retains the good features of the old act and adds some new ones. But there are a couple of points which will need clarification. One is “how cold is cooled” and another is “what is a bar?” It’s unlawful to sell beer “which was iced or cooled by a permit holder before or at the time of sale.” If the beer is delivered to the retailer already cooled, will it be a violation to sell it in such a condition to a customer? And at what degree does “cooled” begin? Backers of this provision say it was intended to stop curbstone beer drinking, Others have pointed out that there are other provisoins in the law which would accomplish the same thing if enforced. In some states, similar provisions have been ruled out by the courts. Under another clause, it is un-

lawful for any female, excepting a permittee or wife of a permittee, to “go behind any bar used in connection with the preparation or dispensing of alcoholic beverages by the drink.” In some small establishments, small beer cooling

boxes are placed at the end of sandwich counters. Thus the question arises, where does the bar end and the sandwich counter begin. And if the icing box is in front of the bar or at the side and not behind it, is it unlawful for a waitress to uncap the beer and serve it? This too has caused legal squabbles in other states.

Both provisions are placed in |

the law by special groups and aimed to strengthen their positions against other groups. But they may boomerang before long.

board, but the Attorney General's office ruled the new law null and void because it amended a repealed section of an old law. So the present Board is legal until May 1, and the Democrats have filed a suit asking that it be declared in effect after that time. Most of the members are reported willing to get the adoption situation cleared up as rapidly as possible. Textbook salesmen have been calling on them for weeks and most of them have their opinions formed. Once the adoptions are made, the board’s work will be done. It will be up to the book companies left out of the contracts to make legal protests if any are to be made. The present board, appointed by Governor Schricker, is composed of five Republicans and four Democrats, so there is little likelihood of a political court battle over the adoptions.
