BOURBON LEADERS
OPPOSE PLAN FOR
PRESENTSE S S 1 0 N
(Continued from Paga One)
He also said the president did not
want his new tax program to inter
fere with the nuisance tax proposal
extension.
The committee, on motion of Sen
ator Gore, (D., Okla.). .voted to ex
tend the nuisance and excise levies
and four tariffs for one year.
Harrison said the one year exten
sion was voted because "it Is hoped
that conditions will Improve so much
that we won't have to extend the tax
es more than one year."
The president's recommendations
for new taxes also entered Into the
decision for a shorter extension, Har
rison said.
Would Walt New Session
Committee members felt the ques
tion of another year's extension could
be considered next session along with 1
the tax proposal.
Harrison said action on the presi
dent's recommendation was up to the
ways and means committee of the
house but he felt It would be "Im
possible" to do anything with them
this session.
LaFollette notified the committee
he would offer amendments on the
floor to carry out the president's rec
ommendations, but he said "I don't
believe the senate Is going to act
specifically or adopt a program with
out more serious consideration.'
Confidants of the president, mean
while, passed the word he Is consider
ing a new and broad NRA designed
to be. In a sense, a companion meas
ure to the tax program.
It was emphasized at the White
House that President Roosevelt is
standing on the language of his spe
cial message and leaving the pro
cedure for the' present at least, to
congressional leaders. "
Long Preparation Needed
Tax drafting experts estimated It
would take at least a month to frame
a bill to carry out the president's
program. Democratic members of the
finance committee contended the
congressional session would be pro
longed six weeks If new taxes were
pushed now.
Secretary Morgenthau declined to
make public the administration's esti
mate of what the new tax program"
would return.
.The secretary said he would avoid
any interpretation of the measure
until he was asked by congress.
"If they want any technical Infor
mation based on the message, we have
It ready for them." he said.
Congressional chiefs Indicated that
President Roosevelt would be consult
ed again to remove any doubts about
whether his share-the-wealth tax
program Is "must" for this session.
Chairman Dough ton of the house
ways and means committee was asked
about the remark of another con
gressional leader who said privately
the share-the-wealth taxea had not
"a chance In hell for passage this
session."
"That's a separate Jurisdiction."
Doughton added. "Maybe they do
have a chance on earth.
"My impression of the president's
message Is that he laid the matter
before congress to be dealt with as
early aa It can be, consistent with
other things.
Action Time Uncertain
"I don't know definitely whether
the president wants the taxea this
session or not. I suppose he does."
In a general endorsement of the
president's suggestions. Doughton
added:
"I subscribe neither to the idea
soak-the-rich' nor 'crush -the -poor."
The president's plan wouldn't do that.
"I have no sympathy with those
who advocate extreme tax plans. The
way to stop those Is not to go to the
other extreme.
"Old Solomon who was a pretty
wise guy summed It up when he
said: 'Give me neither poverty nor
riches; poverty lest I be poor and
steal, riches lest I say Lord who art
Thou.' "
The tax plan, intended to break up
great fortune and reduce large In
comes, was greeted by expressions of
gratification from the "left" and crit
icism from the "right." It was pre
sented to congress late yesterday with
the presidential comment that It
would encourage the "very sound
policy" of a "wider distribution of
wealth."
The revived NRA which the presi
dent is said to be considering was
picture by some of his advisers,
who declined to be quoted by name,
as an effort to increase mass pur
chasing power. Thus, they said, It
would be akin to the tax plan. They
foresaw , the possibility that another
"surprise" message on the subject
might be forthcoming.
One Major "If"
There la one major "if" on NRA, it
was said. The plan may be recom
mended If the administration can find
a deftnlatlon of interstate commerce
it considers satisfactory and able to
stand the test of constitutionality.
Authoritative sources said the presi
dent had remarked that he was In
clined to believe congress could con
stitutionally define Interstate com
merce so the federal government
could supervise some things over which
the supreme court held the old NRA
hid no power.
The quest, It was said, Is for words
to define what the constitution
means when it says congress can reg
ulate commerce "among the several
staMs."
Yesterday's tax message. It became
clear today, was written and sent to
congress against the advice of nearly
all the high Democratic advisers on
Capitol Hill. After counseling
against such an Idea some time ago,
some of them had been predicting
recently that no new taxes would
be recommended. But the president.
It was said authoritatively, wrote the
message without their knowledge, and
sent It to the capltol In a hurry so
pressure would not be brought on
him to withhold it.

ADRIENNE'S
Four Main Proposals
The message suggested:
1. Inheritance, succession and leg
acy taxes In addition to those now
levied on estates, and suitably higher
gift taxes to prevent avoidance of
the other levies;
2. A "definite Increase" In present
taxes on "very great" Individual in
comes; 3. Graduated corporation income
taxes ranging from lo.3 to lfli per
cent Instead of the present flat 13
per cent;
4. "Elimination" of "unnecessary
holding companies In all lines of
business" through taxation;
ft. Submission and ratification of a
constitutional amendment permitting
the federal government to tax future
Issues of state and local securities
and allowing state and local govern-
1 ments to tax future federal securities.
The president pictured the fourth
point as something to be done "ulti
mately." not at this session of con
gress. There was some doubt in the
minds of many congressional leaders
as to how pressing the fifth point
was considered. Most agreed, how
ever, that the inheritance, gift, higher
bracket Income and corporate Income
taxes were offered as "ought" leg
islation and probably ''must."
Opinions Differ
Generally, the tax plan drew praise
from those Democrat who com
mented and from some Republican
liberals, with other legislators con
tending that It would retard recov
ery. For Instance, Senator Neely (D., W.
Va.) called the message a "life-saver
for democracy" and LaFollette said
It was "a splendid message," . while
Representative Snell of New York,
the house Republican leader, termed
the message a "stump speech," said
the president was "trying to get the
Jump on Huey Long" and predicted
that the plan would "retard the im
provement hoped for this summer."
Senator Norrls (R.. Neb.) said the
program "suits me 100 per cent both
on the Inheritance tax and the cor
poration tax." Representative Martin
(R., Mass.) described it as "not the
kind that will be helpful to recovery
at this time."
There was no Immediate comment
on the president's contention that
wealth "does not come merely from
Individual effort" but "from a com
bination of Individual effort and of
the manifold uses to which the com
munity puts that effort."
Would Aid Budget Balance
The subject of budget-balance was
touched upon In one part of the
message. It said that money raised
by the new Inheritance taxes should
be applied "to the reduction of the
national debt."
Specific tax rates, except for cor
poration incomes, were omitted from
the president's suggestions. There
fore, the general conclusion was that
he was willing for congress to work
out the schedules Itself. But talk was
revived about a plan submitted to
the senate finance committee by Sec
retary Morgenthau.
Suggesting that J3oo.000.000 to
i600.000.000 could be raised annually,
Morgenthau proposed that the pres
ent Income tax rates be applied to
Inheritances and gifts to pay the
soldiers bonus In case congress
passed the bonus. Present Income
rates range from 4 per cent to nearly
63 per cent.

'S
TELL HIGH COURT
TRIAL WASUNFAIR
(Continued from Page One)
ent theory that Hauptmann had kill
ed the child before removing him
from his crib.
A week-old opinion of the court,
granting a new trial to a Newark
neigro. was cited In support of this
contention. Although the court did
not rule on the point In that deci
sion, it observed in Its opinion tiiat
it was unfair to Inject a new theory
in a murder trial after the case had
proceeded on a different theory, be
cause it deprived the defendant of
his right to cross-examination on the
new theory.
New Apfteal Hinted.
The brief further contended that
the alleged varying death theories
advanced by the prosecution contra
vened Hauptmann's constitutional
rights to a fair trial. In this con
tention waa seen the possible basis
of an appeal to the U. S. supreme
court In event of an unfavorable de
cision. The brief, prepared by Egbert Rose
crans. c. Lloyd Fisher and Frederick
A. Pope, challenged the legality of
many portions of the attorney-general's
summation at Flemington.
termed the summation inflammatory,
and charged Wilentz in cross-examining
Hauptmann "browbeat, bull
dozed, belittled and chastised" him.
Numerous portions of the trial rec
ord were cited to support the charge.
It also contended the cae should
have been tried in Mercer county,
where the baby's body was found on
May 13, 1032. and asserted further
there waa no proof of the common
law crime of burglary and that the
court erroneously charged that statu
tory crime. (Hauptmann was tried
on the theory that the baby's death
occurred during the commission of
a burglary and waa therefore first
degree murder.)
Ladder Evidence Cited.
The brief contended further that
the admission of the kidnap ladder
in evidence was Improper and that
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's daily ap
pearance In court Influenced the Jury
unfairly.
It attacked the testimony of Aman
dus Hochmuth. octogenarian who tes
tified he saw Hauptmann near the
Lindbergh estate, and attacked the
credibility of Millard Whlted and
Charles B. Rosslter. who also placed
Hauptmann in the vicinity.
Supreme Court Justice Thomas W.
Trenchard, presiding Judge, was at
tacked in the brief on the grounds
that he "impaired a free verdict and
impressed upon the Jury his con
clusions as to the evidence and Im
posed upon the defendant an un-
10 ousseXlwVODeuacwsi
OF COOUNGw FROZEN
RErRtSHMIMTf SUCKERS
authorized rule as to reasonable
doubt." The brief charged likewise
that he failed to charge the rule as
to the weight of handwriting testi
mony, and Ignored a number of re
quest charges offered by the defense.
The brief attacked the expert value
of Arthur Koehler's wood testimony,
and the value of Lindbergh's Identi
fication of Hauptmann's voice. It
charged Dr. John F. Condon, ransom
payment intermediary, did not testify
truthfully and fairly, and that the
testimony of John Perrone, Bronx toxl
driver, Al Reich, Condon's bodyguard,
and other state witnesses, was con
fused. The testimony of police and others
in relation to the ransom money, the
brief contended, could do no more
than connect Hauptmann with the
crime of extortion In the Bronx, and
had no bearing on the kidnaping and
killing.
