Thirtieth Year Medford Mail Tribu NE Afas I By PAUL MAM.ON Copt rich t. li5, By I'aul Mallon WASHINGTON, June 22. The pare figure of Prof Felix Frankfur ter, liberal lawyer-economist, darted In and out of the White House un noticed on sever al occasions Just before President Roosevelt sent his wealth-sharing tax proposals to congress. This same Harvard counselor paid several visits ear lier to Hyde ParH while the presl dent was there, although none noted his pres ence except the MALLON sparrows In the trees. Also unrecorded were simultane ous calls at both places by Prof. Ray Moley. the weekly Boswcll of new deal viewpoint. Both gentlemen carried fountain pens In their pockets and Ideas In pens in u "....... Thin I u now to "S' original draft was composed ! In the seclusion or Hyoe rarn mi" , edited upon the presidents return here. The president confounded some of his best friends by making his pro posal now. They have known the Idea has been in the back of his head for more than six months. That much has been published. But. until re cently, he Intended delaying presen tation of it until next year. What changed his mind apparently was the existing political situation, the ne cessity of heading off Huey and the republicans at the same time. But he timed the presentation even down to a minute. The message was given to the White House messenger (Maurice Lattal as soon as the stock market closed Wednesday. Latta was sent to the senate with it, but was Instructed not to enter the chamber until the senate passed the security bill. Mr. Latta hid outside the sen ate door nearly an hour, peeking In occasionally through the door. As soon as the security hill was out of the way, ho Jumped In. I Also confounded were tho demo ' eratlc leaders In congress. A senator who Is supposed to be In charge of uch legislation for the administra tion confided to friends that he did not know Bbout the message until two hours before It was delivered. The reason Mr. Roosevelt did not consult his party men on the Hill was that he knew they would be against any such far-reaching pro posal. They would have pulled wires to stop him. Now, all they can do is to fume and fret In silence. Another reason why Mr. Roosevelt believed it was sate to strike now Is that soma of his conservative friends have been telling him that recovery psychology Is getting a little too fai i ...... ...ui a. laact the new dCAl'a best authority on the stock market j thought that this particular barom eter was moving up too fast, out of line with substantial Improvement.

It Is based on the ! novel theory that the federal govern- j ment may legislate against the hours and wages of corporations in stales; other '.han the ones In which they ! are Incorporated. For instance, many corporations' are Incorporated in Delaware hut ; few operate. ! The idea is that it would be icai for the government to institute the regulations of the NRA against these corporations In all states except Del aware, either by use of taxing power or otherwise.

Three times in three days he sought against the efforts of her hus band, Harmon M.

Judge Cuahman refused to accept her plea, finally entering a not gull plea for her. on her attorney's state ment that she could not be guilty. The attorney, Stephen J. O'Brien, de manded that she go through the fan fare, the drama, the hurly-burly, publicity, expense and delay of a reg ulation trial. Todav'a Drocedure Disced the girl in the position of resisting efforts to prove her innocent. She wept when they said she had to atad trial. But Judge Cuahman was insistent in being more interested In seeing Justice done than In answering any public clamor for speedy sentence for the accused girl. The net result was that Mrs. Waley, who faced the prospect of a compar atively light sentence on a guilty plea, now gambles with a Jury on ac quittal or conviction and the pos sibility of a life sentence under the Lindbergh law. Also she must stand trial on the mall extortion Indict ment which the government dismiss ed when she agreed to plead guilty. PRESIDENT PLEA EOR WEALTH TAX 'POLITICAL MOVE1 WASHINGTON, June 32. Members of congress welcomed the end of their busiest week tonight wttb the conviction among them that a presidential campaign on the broadest grounds since slavery days Is taking siiape. If there was doubt before, three days reflection over tha long-range Roosevelt tax program tempered it. It was indicative today when Sena tor Long, (D., La.), promised "e.'ery atom of support" If the administra tion pushes this latest proposal. He epitomized the sentiments of some of his colleagues with the title of his senate speech, derived fom tha French Revolution: "No enemies to the left." Representative Snell, the republi can leader, put the views of m.iny into words, too, when ha comment ed "that share-the-wealth suggestion was purely a political move." Repeatedly President Roosevelt has sought to depict the administration as above purely partisan considera tions. A question now Is whether he envisions a campaign next year based on "the new deal against the old parties as such." His climactic message Wednesday evidenced determination to battle for new deal objectives by constitutional amendments, should that be neces sary. Supreme court rulings In the October session are expected more than ever to point the way. One amendment, to ban tax-exempt bonds, la already proposed for immediate submission. Decrying tha trend, republican leaders contend with growing vehem ence that the campaign aystcm itself Is at stake. "Our nation is again at the cross ways." chairman Henry P. Fletcher of the O. O. P. told a West Virginia audience. "The election next year will be one of the most Important ever held since the adoption and rati fication of the constitution."

RS 'SOAK RICH' PLAN Sen. Robinson Urges Early Passage to Calm Busi nessDemocratic Revolt in Congress Over New Deal Bill Seen. WASHINGTON, June 30. (APi To avoid putting business under a cloud of "uncertainty for the long interim between this and the next session of congress. Senator Robinson, the democratic leader, today advo cated enactment of President Roose velt's new tax-the-rlch proposals now, even though It prolonged the session Indefinitely. This pronouncement, coming as somewhat of a surprise, was delivered to newspapermen after a brief Sat urday session In which Senator Long (D.. La.) challenged the president to push a bill immediately to "break up concentration of big fortunes." Standing outside the chamber Rob inson asserted it would "leave the country In a state of uncertainty" to have the tax proposals hang over un til next winter without action. WASHINGTON, Juna 32. (AP) New signs of undercover dissatisfac tion with several New Deal measures arose today, leading some congres sional chiefs privately to express fears of a major uprising In democratic ranks unless the session ends soon or different tactics are adopted. Concrete evidence of the dlsoon tent Included there: 1. Fourteen of the 33 senators who signed the petition for action before adjournment on share - the-wea.th taxes were Democrats, some of whom expressed "off-the-record" fears that the president's advocacy of the taxes might have been only a political move. 3. Disclosure that an actual ma jority of house members had opposed the Wagner labor disputes bill, which was passed without a roll call. 3. The fact that members of the house ways and means committee were openly expressing doubts of the constitutionality of the Ouffey coal bill, which la on the president's "must" list. 4. A private poll In the house Indi cated a substantial majority against abolition of all "unnecessary" utili ties holding companies, despite presi dential pressure to awing things the other way. Because of the share-the-wealth taxes petition, Senate leaders weighed their previous decision to put thru the nuisance tax extension measure without considering the new levies. They decided to put tha question di rectly to the president. STATE COLLEGE IS GIFTS ENRICHED CORVALLIS. Ore., June 33.
