$901.500000 SEEN INTAX-RICH PLAN Treasury Secretary Gives Revenue Estimate to House Group. ‘(Continued From First Page.\* of these new taxes and safeguard them as carefully as was the stabili- eation fund. Wants Fund Kept Separately. “Some months ago, in discussing monetary matters, I spoke of the increment on gold resulting from re- valuation as having been placed in a special drawer tfrom the Treasury's cash register. Hence it was being kept separate from other funds and was not to be used for ordinary ex- penditures. “Silver seigniorage resulting from the silver purchase act is being sim- flarly handled. * * * I think it would be the highest public interest to re- gard the proceeds of these new taxes as occupying a third special drawer in the Treasury, available only to reduce our borrowing and later re- | duce the national debt.” Representative Crowther, Repub- lican, of New York asked Morgenthau 1f he thought the emergency was past. | “I wouldn’t say it is over, but the worst of it is.” “What I'm afraid of,” Knutson in- terposed, “is that this will be more money for the Government to spend. ‘What is being done to balance the budget?” $3,000,000,000 in Red Now. “Well,” Morgenthau answered, “we have just finished the fiscal year with the deficit considerably under the estimate. I will say that we have a good start.” “What was the deficit?” pursued. “Exclusive of the sinking fund, $3,- 000,000,000.” Morgenthau answered. “Well, that is $3 for every minute since the dawn of the Christian era; I don't think that is deserving of much credit,” Knutson said. Representative Woodruff, Republi- can, of Michigan, then asked whether the secretary did not feel he should give to the committee “figures showing how much money should be raised tc get this country on the road to solvency.” Knutson “We must look to you apd your de- | partment for the information,” Wood- suff said. Figures Left to Congress. “I think,” Morgenthau answered, *that we have always given to your committee the information it wanted. But as far as I am concerned a de- cision as to how much should be | nlsed will have to be made by Con- gress.” Chairman Doughton brought smiles | when he remarked that the Treasury had made no specific recommenda- | tions because it did not want Congress labeled a “rubber stamp.” Representative Vinson, Democrat, of Kentucky, pressed the same argu- ment by contending that “for the first time in the history of this country the President relies on this committee” to decide how much revenue should be raised. $100,000 lneomu May Be Hit. Although the new tax rates sug- gested by the Ways and Means Tax Subcommittee were withheld for the smoment, it was understood that some rates contemplated increasing the taxes on individual incomes as low as $100,000 a year, and inheritances as small as $50,000. A new appeal to the White House by Congressmen seeking President Roosevelt’s guidance in determining the specific rates he desires in the new tax bill was forecast meanwhile in congressional quarters. In his statement to the committee | Morgenthau was careful to differenti- | ate between a recommendation and an estimate. He did not recommend | any particular program save that out- lined in general terms by President | Roosevelt in his tax message to Con- gress. The taxes suggested by the Presi- dent, Morgenthau explained, “can be made to yield substantial additions to the receipts of the Federal Govern- ment.” ‘Wants to Draw on Wealth. " *These proposed taxes rest on the principle of ability to pay,” he con- tinued. “They are designed to draw on accumulations of wealth and in- come which, for the most part, have been derived from Nation-wide ac- tivities. “In consequence, their enactment should constitute an important step forward in reshaping our tfx struc- ture along sounder and fairer lines.” The bill drafters planned further conferences with the President. At the last one he told them only that he wanted a “substantial amount” of money. The choosing of rates was left to Congress. ‘Ways and Means Committee Demo- crats saild privately they would let the hearings continue a ‘“reasonable” time before going into executive ses- sion to write a bill with rates and exemptions in it. Then, when a ten- tative measure has been agreed upon, it will be laid before Mr. Roosevelt for his approval or disapproval before it 1s finally ratified by the committee. Sharp Differences Exist. Whatever the plan will be, there remain sharp differences of opinion | emong the committeemen. Chairman Samuel B. Hill, Democrat, of Wash- ington, of the Tax Subcommittee, re- calling that the President asked a “substantial amount,” said he would tonsider anything between $350,000- 000 and $500,000,000 a year as sub- stantial Some other leuq;ng Democrats con- tended that $200,000,000 or even less would be “substantial” enough if the social aspects of the plan were em- sufficiently. Most, of the committee Republicans fwere silent, pending study, but some Snsisted that the bill should be broad- ened enough to meet the deficit, or at SPECIAL NOTICES.

Some Demo- | crats agreed with that idea. | There was still agitation, particu- | 1arly from Republicans, to recess Con- gress while a broader bill is drafted. An advocate of such a plan is Senator | Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan, | mentioned as a possible G. O. P. presi- | dential candidate in 1936. He termed | the original tax plan “inadequate, in- compme and pathetically superficial.” { To Stick to Pledge. | But Ways and Means Committee | Democrats intended to abide by their pledge to lay a bill before the House from it. President Rosevelt's tax-the-wealth program was assailed as uneconomic and “"not even a good soapbox for- mula” by Senator Vandenberg in a radio address last night. Vandenberg said that in view of the administration’s “crazy spending spree” new taxes will be necessary and | must apply to millions of people as well as the very rich mentioned by President Roosevelt. | “All the multi-millionaires marked for slaughter would not pay the Pres- ident’s bills for 60 days,” asserted the Michigan Senator. Ipsy up to the hilt. But let us not delude ourselves. The income tax base must be broadened, and all the | brackets must accept a heavier load. Insolvency Feared. “There is not other way to get the money. Inevitably millions of our citizens must contribute, each accord- ing to his ability to pay. “Nor will they unduly complain if they may be assured that they are buying national solvency. Otherwise they will have a right to complain— and bitterly.” Vandenberg said the Federal Treas- ury “is racing merrily toward poten- tial insolvency.” “The spending spree still continues at break-neck speed,”. he said. “We pillage our grandchildren. We still spend $2 for every $1 we take in. It is only a question of time en such a crazy process ends like the career of any other wastrel.” RAILWAY MAIL WORKERS MEET HERE TOMORROW 50 Delegates to Attend Biennial Division Convention at Con- tinental Hotel. The biennial convention of the third division, Railway Mail Division, employes, comprising about 50 dele- gates from the District, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina, will begin at 9 a.m. tomor- | row at the Continental Hotel.

F. C. attorney and “brain trust” man, threatened to hold up the Passamaquoddy tidal power project in Maine if Brewster voted against the “death sentence.” Corcoran and Brewster were listed among the first witnesses. Corcoran’s friends have denied he made the threat. Representative Sabath, Democrat, of Tlinois, of the Rules Committee, said | jey. he thought the inquiry also should include the American Liberty League “and such organizations that are continually flooding us with pam- phlets and propaganda sniping at administration activity.” G.

BENDER TO LEAD £. 0.P.CRUSADERS Tells Convention Republic- ans Can Provide Constitu- tional Recovery Plan. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, July 8—The “Re- publican Crusaders’ ” Conference elect- | ed George H. Bender of Cleveland, sponsor of the gathering, its perma- nent chairman today. In accepting the post, the former Ohio State Senator asserted that “the Republican party can offer America a plan for recovery in keeping with the sacred principles of constitutional American Government.” Crusades for Ideals. “The Democratic party has adopted the principles of Pascist Italy, with a capitalist society controlled by a cen- tralized State,” he said. “The cam- paigns which lie before us are more than struggles for high political place. They are crusades for ideals and we are truly crusaders, as have been men who championed causes rather than men.” “With the program of the future, the program of social change, as honest citizens of our country, we Re- publicans can have no quarrel,” he continued. “Heartily we must ap- prove of the principles underlying un- employment insurance, old-age pen- sions, slum clearance. “But equally hearty must be our condemnation of the inflationary policies of money manipulation prac- ticed by our dictators in Washington. Equally hearty must be our denuncia- tion of governmental interference with business.” Outlines Five-Point Plan. Bender said the Republican party’s “plan for recovery” should include the following points: Restore to business man and laborer, farmer and investor, the strength and security of the gold standard. “Abolish the fear of hordes of in- spectors swooping down upon every corner of the land. “Withdraw the unfair socialistic experimentation of the Tennessee Val- “Seek to protect farm interests by ltlmullflnl markets. “Labor speedily to balancf the Fed- eral budget.” Pennsylvania in Spotlight. A six-State conference opened to- day with revolting Pennsylvanians taking the spotlight. Delegates met this morning to be- gin discussing issues and policies, won- dering whether the Pennsylvania del- egation would continue the fight which started last night over the State’s Resolutions Committee. Although Henry P. Fletcher of Pennsylvania, chairman of the Repub- lican National Committee, sent his greetings, few nationally known Re- publican leaders had arrived this morning. Members of the Ohio con- gressional delegation remained in ‘Washington. After lengthy debate, the Pennsyl- vania caucus altered the size of the Pennsylvania Resolution Committee that had been picked by the Ohio Federation of Republican Clubs, whose president is Bender. Seven women were added to the committee, giving it a membership of 12. The caucus decided the seven will have a vote in Pennsylvania’s decisions on resolutions, although the State’s vote in the General Resolu- tions Committee still will be five.

SERIES OF TALKS President to Make First Speech in Milwaukee on Way to Coast. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Roosevelt has selected Milwaukee for the first of the series of major speeches he is planning to make late in August or early in September on his journey across the Continent to visit the San Diego Exposition. Just where the President will make his other talks, “in carrying his case to the people,” has not yet been decided, but it was said at the White House today that one of these would surely be at the Boulder Dam project on the Colorado River, the occasion being the President’s participation in the official dedication of this,gigantic project, which was recently completed. 1In revealing this much of the Presi- dent’s plans the White House said that of course everything depends upon the date upon which Congress closes up. The White House is hoping that the Congress will get away at least by the middle of August and that the President will lose no time start- ing upon this long and important ex- pedition. Scene of Convention. ‘The President selected Milwaukee because the convention of the Young Democrats will be held there the last week in August. Therefore the Presi- dent has tentatively accepted an in- vitation to address the convention August 23. The date for the Boulder Dam speech will be made to suit the convenience of the President. Besides the several major speeches the President will deliver he undoubt- edly will make a number of im- promptu speeches, most of them from the rear platform of his special train. Mr. Roosevelt's tentative plans pro- vide for his returning East aboard a Navy vessel, which will afford him about two weeks’ rest and relaxation at sea and give him another oppor- tunity to visit the Panama Canal, in which he has always shown the great- est interest. There is, too, tentative plans for several days’ deep-sea fish- ing near the Cocas Islands, in the Pacific about 500 miles off Panama coast. Plans to Go to Hyde Park. Upon the President’s return he no doubt will go to his family home in Hyde Park for a week or two, where he will divide his time between recreation and the Government's business, and will then go to Warm Springs, Ga., to enjoy the baths before coming back to Washington in De- cember to make ready for the re- opening of Congress. James Roosevelt, the eldest of the Roosevelt sons, i1s executive secretary of the Young Democrats and will be one of the prime factors in the con- duct of the Milwaukee convention. It was at his request that the President agreed to address the meeting. James also will make a speech during the convention and probably will preside over the meeting addressed by his father. In the meantime James will make a number of speeches at Young Democrat gatherings in different parts of the country incident to the holding of the Milwaukee convention. —_— NEW AIR PROFICIENCY BOARD SET UP BY U.
