- MILLS SEES VD 15 PARTY LIS Former Secretary Hits New Deal as Crippling to Free Enterprise. By the Associated Press CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y., August 17.— Party lines in the United States “‘are no longer invisible,” Ogden Mills, former Secretary of the Treasury and a leading Eastern Republican, said | here today. In the first of two speeches in both of which he attacked the New Deal as a danger to individual liberty, Mr. Mills said “party lines in America are no longer invisible,” and predicted | “few Democrats will still associate | themselves with the New Dealers after they acquaint themselves with planned econocmy in which free government and private enterprise are sacrificed.” Saying hs was a “defender of the old conservative order,” he predicted & swing away from New Deal tend- encies to conservative standards. He spoke first at a luncheon in his | honor and then at the annual Grange | day prcgram at Chautauqua Institu- | tion.

When the Senate com- mittee “jumped through the hoop” | and changed its mind on some im- | portant sectiors, Parker was forced to go around to the other side of the hoop and make the desired altera- tions.

Adams, himself a distinguished fiyer end authority on aviation, announced the gift by Dr. Godfrey Lowell Cabot cf Boston of a “substantial” sum to found “the James Jackson Cabot professorship of air traffic, regulation and transportation.” Cabot, 74-year-old wealthy manu- facturer, aviation pioneer, and old- est man by 12 years to hold a com- mission in the naval air forces of the United States during the World War, is a trustee of the university.

Earlier he was guest at a luncheon given in his honor by the Emir Abdulla | of Transpordan, and tonight he at- tended a Bedouin feast. | This is the first visit of a member of the Saudi royal family to Trsns-; jordan.

Eccles is well pleased with | the bill as it comes out of the con- | ference committee. He was repre- | sented by those in close touch Wilh‘ him as thinking it a good compro- mise. He will endorse the confer-| ence report measure to President | Roosevelt and it became known to- day the President will sign it. Gov. Eccles, it was reported, views the revised bill as embodying the ideas of centralized control which he sanctioned. He strongly approves the fact the conference report liberalizes real estate loans and the eligibility of paper for discount. He is satisfied | with the open market arrangements, | especially with the regional require- | ment in selection of the representa- | tives of the Reserve banks on the Open Market Committee. | Chairman Steagall conceded that on the whole Senator Glass had “won | a victory,” but he contended that at | the same time the bill was a dis- tinct advance over present law. New Board Timber Sought. | It was made clear in the views of | Mr. Steagall, Gov. Eccles and other champions of the administration that they see big possibilities in the wiping | out of the existing Federal Reserve| Board and the appointment of a new | board by President Roosevelt. . | ‘While not openly said, it is clearly the purpose, according to talk at the Capitol, to sweep much of the old‘ timber on the board aside and name | 2 new board which will be pro-ad- | ministration and in accord with the | ideas of Gov. Eccles and the Presi- dent. Moreover, the Secretary of the Treasury and controller of the cur- rency will be eliminated from the board. Nominally, the new board will be a powerful independent body. Never- theless, it will be named in pursuance the House by Cheirman Steagall. It is the purpose to bring it up for action | Monday. Leaders predicted quick ac- ceptance in both Houses, inasmuch as the conferees Friday night were unanimous in signing the agreement. Open.Market Operation Controlled. Chairman Steagall in his statement emphasized that an outstanding fea ture of the bill, as shaped in confer- | ence, “is to declare and emphasize the | determination of the Government to control the opea market operations of the Federal Reserve System.” He | sought to stress the fact that under | the bill as revised the Federal Re- serve Board will control the Open Market-Committee. He insister the Open Market Committee provision is substantially the same as the House provisions. The fact that Senator Glass suc- cessfully fought off the idea of the administration that the purchases under the opean-markets arrangement could be ‘made directly from the ‘Treasury instead of being confined to the open market was not referred to by Chairman Steagall, but is deemed of high importance by Senator Glass and others who do not want to see the reserve system overloaded with Government bonds while money for commercial credit lies inactive.

Ho I .WA I ER The conference report was filed in Taxes (Continued From First Page)) it was specifically requested by the President and the House Democratic conferees are therefore bound to make some fight in its behalf. On the | other hand, its reinsertion in the leg- islation, if such should come to pass, surely would precipitate a fight on the Senate floor with a sizeatle fac- tion of Democrats being cpposed to acceptance of the new tax. The other principal points of dif- ference in the House and Senate bills are a wider range of graduation of corporation income taxes in the Sen- ate, the imposition of an intercom- pany dividend tax by the Senate, the increase of the existing capital stock tax rate by the Senate, a lower scale of excess profits taxes, and changes in the surtax section by which in- creases over the present rates would begin at the $1,000,000 net income bracket rather than $50,000 as in the House bill. — .
