To Reveal Pay

Clare Hoffman, R, Mich., jester-
day demanded that the principle of
publicity tor corporate salaries be
applied to President Roosevelt and
his son, James, who, he charged
have augmented their salaries by
extra-official activities.
Hoffman commented on Presi
dent Roosevelt's demand for con
tinuation of publicity of corporate
salaries over $19,000. Speaking
from the house floor, he Joined a
general republican assault on the
administration tax revision pro
gram.
"If It Is Immoral or unmoral on
the part of those corporation offi
cials who fall to disclose by publi
cation In newspapers and maga-
sines the amount of their salaries
and bonuses, what can be aald of
the occupants of the White House?'
Hoffman asked.
The law forcing revelation of cor
porate salaries In excess of $16,000
would be repealed by an obscure
provision carried in the tax reform

public has been able to learn the
