SENSATIONAL 17 per Cent Advance Noted While Goods Bought by Farmers Stay low nternal Revenue Bureau's Staff Views Evidence Of Senate Hearing Blaze of Light Features World Fair Opening WASHINGTON, Ma 29 (AP) A 17 per cent rise in farm prices the most sensational spiral since the post-war "boom" days of April, 1919 was reported today for the period April 15 to May 15 The upward sweep has contin ued since that date. Statisticians of the bureau of agricultural economics who com puted the increase on the basis of prices paid farmers at their local markets, said that during the 30- day period the prices paid by farmers for goods had remained unchanged at the pre-war level. Meanwhile, Secretary Wallace said plans were under considera tion for applying an acreage re duction program to cotton this year. He estimated J150.000.000. if spent in the form of rentals or bonuses to growers to reward them for turning portions of their land from cotton to crops of which a surplus is not produced, would maintain cotton prices at "from 10 to 12 cents a pound." Wallace hade it clear a definite program had not been adopted. Late in the day Wallace called the first formal public hearing un der the new farm law. He set Monday, June 5, to consider a pro posed trade agreement covering the Chicago fluid milk market. Row Over Pecora's Record Not to Deter him; F. R. Approval Indicated (Copywrite, 1933. by the Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 29. (AP) In Its own private way, the internal revenue bureau has undertaken a minute check be tween the reams of testimony and statistics recorded in the senate investigation of J. P, Morgan and Company and Income tax returns filed for members of that firm. As disclosed tonight in quarters familiar with what's going on, closest official scrutiny Is being given not only to the evidence made public, but also to the yet guarded Morgan partnership ag reement. It appears that the ag reement has been examined In re lation to the income tax payments. Pecora to Continue Despite Attacks Meanwhile Ferdinand Pecora the investigating committee's counsel said in New York he would be back at the helm of the inquiry Wednesday despite at tacks on his character. Members of the committee sup porting Pecora were encouraged today by word from the White House that President Roosevelt wants the Inquiry "to go through without limit'' and has implicit confidence in the committee. This they interpreted as White House approval or Pecora's meth ods in seeking to disclose opera tions of the Morgan firm. Chairman Fletcher said he had been "satisfied the- president would take that position" and as serted it would be "unthinkable" (Turn to page 6, col. 5) i ., 4 - """ftgawti f Hint, .nil i ' 1 1 ? t ' ' . . . - ' V INCH TUX PLAN E LAID BEFOR 1 Connally Suggests 10 per Cent Boost In Lieu of House Sales Levy How the great Chicago world fair looked from the south end of the lagoon Saturday night when the brilliant lights were turned on, the impulse- being furnished by the star Arcrurus, with beams which started on their way 40 years ago when the former Chicago world fair was In progrem.

May 29 (AP) A new tax plan, under which Income taxpayers would be as sessed a flat 10 per cent mort than they now pay, was proiosed to the senate finance committee today by Serator Connally (D Tex) as a means of financing the public works section of the Indus try bill. The Connally plans would re tain the same rates as are now in fffect. He explained that under the 10 per cent provision the per son receiving the larger income would pay more taxes, whereas. he said, under the 'present plan approved by the house, the man of small Income would have hH tax increased 50 per cent. Connally will endeavor to ob tain acceptance of his plan in stead of the two per cent boost in the rates which wa approved by the house. He put hi plan before the com mittee after James A. Emery, counsel for the National Manu facturers association, had pro posed a sales tax. Senator Reed (R-Pa) has advocated imposition of a similar levy. The recommendation for a sales tax, Connally said, was put forth "merely as an excuse to escape Income taxes. In explaining his own proposal, Connally said: "If a man pays $30 income tax. he would pay J 3 more, or $33. But, If he paid $10,000 now he would pay $1,000 more, or $11, 000. He said It would yield a? much If not more than the house pro posal.
