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-

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:

St. Oil (N. J.) 39.000 5.600 6.700
These figures suggest that the new
taxea will sharply curtail dividends,
but are not necessarily confiscatory.
The increase per share of General

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.
These three boards would have ex- '
pi rod today.
Apparently ready to sign the new
Wagner labor board bill, the Presi
dent continued the -national labor
relations board for only a month.
A new board would be established
under the Wagner bill now before the
President.
The executive orders for the na
tional steel labor relations board and
the textile labor relations board con
tinued these fluencies "until further
order."

PORTLAND, Ore., July 1. (AP)
Production In the fir districts ot
western Oregon and Washington was
stepped up considerably today when
several hundred more men returned
to work to mark the most extensive
employment In the northwest lumber
industry since the beginntng of the
strike May 6.
Moro than 500 resumed their Jobs
in the Weyerhaeuser and Long-Bell
mills at Longview, Wash. The Long
view mills negotiated a union agree
ment with A. W. Muir. ranking
union leader of the wood-working
unions in the northwest, last week.
Normal employment In the two mills
approximates more than 2000.
Five hundred pickets, apparently
acting for the Longview strike com
mittee which yesterday went on

tions, were dispersed by state police.
There was no violence.
In Portland, about 450 men began
operations In five mlllt today, three

heavier flow of tourtst travel during
July, possibly of record-breaking pro

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

The Miller woman was the first of
the three girls arrested with Ferria

ment of his case. Earlier the prose
cutor had said he was not certain
robbery was ths motive of the crime.
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. McCrea said the statement today of
the Miller woman gave him hts first
definite proof that Dickinson's death
was due to robbery. Only this morn
ing he said he would not Issue a
murder warrant for Ferris until he
was certain of the motive.
