JS0ys j BjSmtd yii By rnul Mallon (Copyright. 1938. by Paul Mnllon) WASHINGTON. July 1. The man behind the scenes In the treasury la Herman Oltphant, general counsel to Secretary Mor- genthau. He at tended a dinner given a. 1 e w night ago by a leader of capital society where the guests plagued him 'lth amazed expressions about the new program to tax bigness. Owlish Mr. Oll phant replied In a knowing tone: "You ain't seen nothln' yet." PAL 1, MALLON Mr. Ollphant docs not talk loosely, and usually knows whereof he speaks. Not from this significant Incident alone, but from similar hints drop ped by other officials, the conclu- I nVM-lnna that. PrPstrfpnt ROOSe- VNlt'ft anmewhat sensational move I Vot the last one he contemplates In that direction. What the new dealers apparently have In the back of their heads are further, stronger stops In a long range venture to eliminate bigness, not only among men but corpora tions. If you get them off In a corner they will concede the revenue-raising features of the proposed plan were almost Inconsequential or at least secondary: that the wealth sharing claims made for It were largely political ballyhoo. What they really wanted, they whisper, was to establish a tax basis for & social policy to be adjusted and readjusted in coming years until all the big ones are made over Into llttlo ones. They did not dare to go any far ther for a starter. Now some of this tali may be an excuse for the deficiency of the program. Some of it may be designed to hearten the doubling wealth hsrers like Huey. But, make no mistake about it, there are many new dealers super charged with the Brandels-Frank-furter philosophy sincerely and non polltically. apparently including one In the White House. . Tax students now are Just about agreed that the proposed tax in creases on larce corporations will probably not drive them out of busi ness or break them up. You can sen Just how hard It will hit three of the largest corporations in the country by the following table: (Units in millions of dollars) 1933 Taxes P'p'sed Income Now Taxes A.

' Am HOUSE REPOSES 'DEATHJENTENCE' Go Against President's Wishes by 216 to 146 Vote Fight Now Going to Conference Committee WASHINGTON, July 1. (AP) After the house had refused his re quest for legislation to abolish "un necessary" utility holding companies In seven years. President Roosevelt went to work today In an effort to win by a roll call vote tomorrow. He conferred with Representative Rankin (D Miss.) who predicted an administration victory tomorrow. WASHINGTON. July I . ( AP President Roosevelt's request for leg islation to abolish "unnecessary" utility holding companies by 1942 was turned down today by the house. The vote was 216 to 146 against the president's wishes. Climaxing one of the most bitter legislative disputes In recent years, the vote was studied for Its reflection of the president's present control over the house. It was not a straight-out test, however, as no roll call vote was taken. Administration supporters contended more votes for the presi dent would have been obtained if a record had been kept. The vote was on whether to adopt the senate provision to eliminate in seven years holding companies con sidered by the securities commission to be "unnecessary." That carried in the senate by a one-vote margin. The house Inter state commerce commission voted In stead to give the securities commis sion discretionary authority. After final passage of the utilities bill, the fight over the "death sen tence" provision will be transferred to a conference committee to adjust differences between the senate and the house. There it may either be rejected or retained. The house rejected, by a 61 to 36 standing vote, an amendment pro- ; posed by Representative Lewis (D.. j Md.) to tighten up the bill by re stricting holding companies to a single Integrated utility system. LABOR RELATIONS WASHINGTON. July 1 (fp Presi dent Roosevelt today issued executive orders extending the national labor relations board until August 1, and continuing indefinitely the notional steel labor relations board and the textile labor relations board.

FERRIS USED GUN DURING ROBBERY POUCEARE TOLD Man and Three Girls At tempted to Get Lawyer Drunk and 'Roll' Him Refused to Put Up Hands DETROIT, July 1. flj Prescuting Attorney Duncsn C. McCrea announc ed st 4:33 p. m, today that William Lee Ferria had confessed that he shot and killed Howard Carter Dickinson last Thursday morning1. "He wouldn't put his hands up. and I let him have it," he prosecutor quoted Ferria la saying. "We got about $160. "We though he had a lot of money so we agreed to get him drunk and roll him. But he wouldn't get drunk, so we took him to Rouge park and the girls got out and I told him to 'put 'em up but he didn't so X ahot him." Ferris confession came shortly after Jean Miller, one of the three girl in the party with Ferria and Dickinson had admitted to the prose cutor that she and Loretta and Flor ence Jeckson "were In that business getting men drunk and rolling them." DETROIT, July 1. (AP) Prosecu tor Duncan C. McCrea said this aft ernoon that Jean Miller, also known as Lillian Wlnles. told him that How ard Carter Dickinson was shot and killed while William Lee Ferris was trying to rob him, The prosecutor Immediately sum moned Police Commissioner Helnrloh A.

Statements by Ferris had admit- , ted that he was present when Dick- ' tnson was killed, but he had given three different versions of the shoot ing. One was suicide, which was dis credited by the statement of Dr. Rob ert Kallman, county medical exam iner.
