Alarmed Oyer Roosevelt
Thrust for - Powers
x Over Congress 7 .-
Before several hundred republi
cans gathered on his lawn at Fir
cone Senator Charles L. McNary
called - for a senate not packed
with "coattallers and yesmen,"
condemned 'the "purgists, , and
declared - the republican program
for farm relief offered In the last
congress was far superior to that
proposed by ' the administration.
His remarks were punctuated fre
quently with applause from the
audience, and Alex Barry, nomi
nee for the senate short term, who
appeared later on the program,
called for McNary's elevation to
the White House.
One Man Rule x
Seen as Issue - .':
Speaking fn formally in welcom
ing the guests who came at the
invitation of Pro America,
women's republican organization,
Sen. McNary said the main issue
today, was whether we were to
have government of the people or
one-man rule. He said he had
supported Pres. Roosevelt In the
beginning because he wanted to
get the country out of the depres
sion but that he was alarmed at
the thrust for power over the
judiciary and the congress. The
minority leader said he did not
believe Mr. Roosevelt watted to
be a dictator, but "If we give him
unwarranted powers the danger
is we get accustomed to the ab
dication of the constitution and
some one will arise to gather
reins of power in his hands and
become a dictator. i
SpeaklngMt the farm : problem.
McNary, who said he preferred to
be regarded as a farmer himself,
scored the policy of scarcity,
pointed out how the curtailment
of 70 million acres .would deprive
men of jobs, and said the repub
lican farm policies would give
market for crops, provide jobs
and reduce expenses of govern
ment. He criticized the ' unprece
dented policy of the president In
promoting the purge of party
members, and said in his own
case, serving under five presidents
he bad never had a republican
president to Interfere with his
election, although he had some
times opposed his policies.
. Others who spoke were Rufus
Iloiman and Alex Barry, sena
torial nominees. Homer Angell
and TJ. S. Ballentlne, candidates
for congress, Charles A. Spr gne.
candidate for governor, C A. Rice,
candidate for s' te superintend
ent. Kern Crandall, republican
state chairman, presided.
Persons 'were In attendance
from all parts of the state, as
far east as LaGrande and from as
far south, as Ashland. Musical
umbers were given. Two years
ago a similar picnic was held at
the McNary home.

missions, state foresters and the
US forest service.
The meeting was preliminary to
a Joint congressional inquiry into
forest resources.
The committee agreed to seek
unification on cooperative sus
tained units for public and pri
vate timber, an Increase of funds
for forest fire protection, an ap
propriation to combat timber In

of money for forest research.

Tax Consolidation
Would Raise Barrier to
Avoidance of Higher
: pTax Brackets
WA3HINGVoW ug.
The- treasury' ' is 'studying; ' a - Pro
posal' to consolidate the federal
gift and estate taxes and thus
raise a more positive- barrier to
avoidance of the higher tax brack
ets. Under the proposal to combine
the gift tax and the two federal
estate taxes into a single "trans
fer tax," all gifts, whether made
during the donor's life-time or
passed on as estates, would be
taxed the same.
Successive Sifts, whether effec
tive before death or afterward,
would be lumped together to de
termine the tax bracket applic
able" to them, and thus they
would come under a higher
bracket than if they were taxed
separately, part as gifts and part
as estates.
The system of taxing a series
of gifts the same as a lump gift
of the same aggregate amount
already is Imposed by the gift
tax, and the government at
tempts by litigation to prevent
reduction Of estates for tax pur
poses by rifts made "in antici
pation of death."
OS&eial. envision elimination
of this litigation as one resalt
that might be expected from adop
tion of a single "transfer tax."
Another they are taking into ac
count Is the elimination of dupli

Organization
Relates How Communisf
Front Croups Formed
by Organizers
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2
The house committee on "un-
American" activities assigned a
bodyguard to accompany Dr. J. B.
Matthews, writer and educator.
when he left the committee room
today after telling how com
munists "exploited" the names xf
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and
other prominent Americans.
The plainclothes guard was as
signed after Matthews had report
ed receiving threats by telephone
of bodily harm if he persisted la
his testimony regarding the pur--
ported inner workings of the com
munist party.
More Testimony
Dne Monday
He is scheduled to return to
the witness stand Monday with
testimony which committee mem
bers said i would be even more
startling than that he unfolded
today.;
He charged the world youth
congress now- meeting at Vassar,
which was addressed by Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt this week,
was "nothing more nor less than
one of the 'united front' maneu
vers dedicated to forwarding the
aim of the foreign policy of the
aoviet union."
At least 35 of the 50 American
delegates belonged to communist
front organizations, he said.
In response to direct question
ing, Matthews, who said he .had
made five trips to the soviet union
since 1928, said the communists
exploited the publicity value ,ef
such a speaker as Mrs. Roosevelt,
who could thus Innocently be j aid
ing the work of the party. - j
The witness said he waa organ
izer and first secretary of I the
American League for Peace and
Democracy, an organization to
which several . government ioffi-
cials belong.
Waa Organizer
Of Front Groups
Relating that he had been an
active participant in the organiza
tion or work of about 20 organ
izations which he said formed part
of the communist front, Matthew
told the committee many intimate
details of his link with the com
munist party. He said he did net
belong to the party but worked
with H as a "fellow traveler.
That was' the name given com
munist sympathizers who, for
strategic reasons, did not carry
party cards, he testified.
As a "fellow traveler," he said,
he was identified with the stu
dents' congress against war, the
American student union, the
American youth congress, the un
employed council, various groups
to aid or free Tom Mooney, the
international labor defense, the
federated press, and other organ
izations. "The American youth congress '
is an excellent example of the
methods and purpose of the com
munist party's united fronts," he
said. "Among .the organization
which have been persuaded to
endorse the youth congress and -to
participate In its communist
guided work we find numerous
groups of Christian youth people,
such as the national council cf
Methodist youth and the Christian
youth conference of North Amer
ica. .
Big Names Appear
As Advisors
"Among the individuals spon
soring the youth congress, as
members of Its so-called national
advisory committee, we find, in
addition to the usual left wingers,
who appear frequently on united
front committees, the name cf
Ralph S. Cushman, bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal church, Har
old G. Hoffman, former governor
of New Jersey, and Henry N.
MacCracken, president of Vassar."
"Ostensibly, these organiza
tions and Individuals are associ
ated with a youth organization
which Is dedicated to peace as one
of its major goals. Actually they
are being - made the innocent
dupes of a carefully contrived
communist maneuver. By peace,
as the communists understand and
work for it, is meant a breathing
spell during which the world rev
olution of the proletariat may be
prepared." -
Among others he named on the
advisory committee list were Sen
ator Frazier of North Dakota,
Jeremiah T. Mahoney, president
of the Amateur Athletic unicn;
William F. Quflllan, general sec
retary of the general board for
Christian education of the Metho
dist Episcopal church, south; Wil
