MUSTPROGRAN ORDERED SPEEDE Democratic Leaders Told to Rush Legislation at White House Conference. By the Associated Press. Capitol Hill had word straight from the White House today that President Roosevelt hopes Congress will enact all his legislative program at this session. This development followed a dis- closure several days ago that Dem- ocratic leaders, concerned over the slow progress Congress has made on administration legislation, were con- sidering asking the President to scrap some controversial measures till the next session. In his first post-vacation confer- ence with congressional leaders last night, the President took his stand despite anxiety in Congress lest his insistence should prolong the session until August or September. Program Line-ups. So today the program of the leaders atill lined up about like this: 1. N. R. A. extension. 2. Social security legislation. v 3. Utilities holding company legis- lation. 4. An extension of Washington's authority over banking, along with an increase in the capital of the Home Owners’ Loan Corp, and'legislation making permanent the present tem- porary bank deposit insuarnce. | 5. Readjustment of ship subsidy policy. 6. Extension of $416,000,000 in | “nuisance” taxes, with more added if | Congress persists in spending more | than the President contemplated in his budget. | That program was outlined in the | President’s first talk with congres- sional leaders—about five hours after he returned from the Florida vaca- tion trip. i Confers With Leaders. With him for more than two hours ‘were Speaker Byrns, Chairman Dough- | ton of the House Ways and Means Committee and former Representative | West of Ohio, now attached to the | Farm Credit Administration. The President, to quote Speaker | Byrns, “is very anxious to get that social security bill through” and so told the conferees. But he declined to take a part in the current House quarrel over the bill. | As a result, word was spread about the House today that the President had refused to approve to the last dotted “i” and crossed “t” the old-age pension, job-insurance, social-welfare bill submitted to the House by its Ways and Means Committee. That left to the regular Democratic leaders and to Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee a de- cision as to what to do about the measure. It was indicated that the President would like to see restored to the bill a section eliminated by the committee allowing individuals to pur- chase voluntary annuities—like those | sold by life insurance companies. But it was also apparent that the President’s preference for restoration of that item was not strong enough to lead him to oppose a social security bill without it. Democratic members of the committee were called into ses &ion today to discuss the bill. The President’s call for enactment of his full program was, according to & man high in Congress who declined 1o be quoted, based upon the thought that members would be less anxious to finish up and hurry home this year than they would next—election year.

COTTON TAXVITAL Fund Must Be Raised and Work-Relief Cannot Be Touched, He Says. By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt said today that if the cotton processing tax is removed some means must be found for pro- viding funds in its place. In response to inquiry at his press conference, the President said he had heard no suggestions as to where the funds would be found if the processing tax is eliminated. He added the money could not come from the $4,000,000,000 appropriation Just enacted because this money was for relief. The work-relief bill contained an amendment by Senator George, Dem- ocrat, of Georgia, providing that bene- it payments to farmers could be made out of the fund. ELIMINATION FAVORED. RALEIGH, N.

The drastic plan would have | brought $3,562,936,000 in individual income taxes in 1917 instead of $603,- 802,000 of tax liability reported under the law then in effect, the letter said. In 1918 the plan would have brought $2,788,491,000, the letter in- dicated, instead of the 189,839,000 tax liability actually reported. Meanwhile, members of the Muni- tions Committee prepared for an early attempt to write their drastic tax plan into the bill which the House aimed at war-time profiteering yesterday. In the face of War Department warnings against unduly restrictive legislation, the committee advocated taxing away all except 3 per cent of the profits made by industry during the war. Until the McSwain bil was passed by the House, 367 to 15, the Senate group had feared it might not be able to place its scheme lefore Congress. ‘That was because tax legislation must originate on the other side of the Capitol. Excess Profits Taxed. But after much discussion in the House that body passed an amend- ment calling for a 100 per cent tax on “excess war profits.” No definition of excess profits was included, but Representative McSwain, Democrat, of South Carolina, who introduced the amendment himself, explained it was purposely broad so the Senate could write its own ticket on_taxes. The same young Representatives who vigoreusly advocated a tax pro- vision in the House measure also led a successful fight to delete a section authorizing the President to conscript an army in war time. As finally passed the McSwain bill would prohibit the President from ordering a draft, but would not pre- vent s war-time Congress from do- ing so. The Munitions Committee expected to have ready today a new draft of a bill incorporating the anti-war profits plan prepared for it by John T. Flynn, economist-writer.

Adams, Harry Samuel Saloman and citizens is a monstrosity and that hence all measures for personal relief, for public and private health and for individual recreation and culture are indispensable for the preservation even of those private profits which cause so much concern in certain quarters. | ““We also know, by experience, that | there are certain categories of public works which, being designed to pre- serve and develop broadly generalized economic values, cannot individual. Now we propose to bring these two together in the establish- ment of the third economy which be- longs neither in the profit system nor in the system of State socialism.” Declaring that because of increased efficiency the Nation could “produce | the goods and services consumed in the banner year 1929 with perhaps 15 or 20 per cent fewer workers, Tugwell said the displaced workers must be taken care of. “In planning such a program,” he said, “we need to select for public work those flelds which are appro- priate to what I have called the third economy: First, work which would not be done by private enterprise be- cause it would take too long or would not return a direct monetary profit, and, second, work which will provide opportunity for a high proportion of direct, unskilled labor. Such, for ex- | ample, is the character of much of the | forestry and soil erosion work.” Must Utilize Idle Manpower. Idle manpower, he said, must be diverted into the third economy ‘if we are to avoid another war or a de- structive upheaval of social resent- ment at home.” If the unemployed had been utilized during the depres- sion, he said, “we could have given every family in the country a brand- new $5,000 house.” Other developments in the relief picture today included: Representative Kennedy, Democrat, of New York, said he had reason to believe “President Roosevelt will draft Postmaster General Farley from the cabinet to take over a big job in the work-relief set-up.” A conference of representatives of 12 Government departments was planned for tomorrow with Dr. Isador Lubin, chairman of the Committee on Unemployment Surveys of the Central Statistical Board, to formulate & plan to have the unemployment and pop- ulation survey announced yesterday by Secretary of Commerce Roper made a work-relief project. —_— W.
