TAX REVISION I'LANS
ATTRIBUTED TO F. D. E.
PREItlCT CHANGE IN
TROFITS, GAINS LEVIES
RECOMMENDATIONS EXPECTED
AT SPECIAL SESSION
. k
TREASURY EXPERTS
DIVIDED ON COURSE
Washington. Nov. 8. A gentle-
mn who Is usually accorded cre
dence In fairly high places recently
left President Roosevelt alter a dls
cutslon 01 the undivided profit, tax
and th capital gains levy and made
a flat prediction, privately, of course.
He said that the president would
come out for revision of both tax
measures before the special session
was over.
Borne of the best guessers on
what's going to happen to the tax
program taai'e guessed Just that
but they call It a guese and not
prediction.
And those of them who know
most of what treasury officials know
about the White House attitude say
that, up until now. the president
hasn't expressed himself on the fu
ture of either the capital gains or
undistributed profit levies.
Contrary to some of the tales float
ing about the capital, however, tni
doesn't mean that the treasury does
not know what Is going on across
Bast Executive avenue.
V One such story. It la true, that
nurses tell to frighten New Deal
children. Is that on dark nlghte cer
tain secret advisers slip Into the
White House. The shade, on the
treasury aide are pulled down. The
advisers whisper to the president
Just what to do about the nation's
fiscal affaire. He nod. hie head In
agreement. Just before the advisers
leave, he puts hl finger to bis
lips:
"But don't tell Henry," he warns.
This la a delightful little fairy
tale.
Wblle it la true that the presi
dent hasn't said anything specific
about revising the tax laws to
"Henry" (or hadnt at this writing),
the secretary of the treasury will
learn these views In plenty of time.
According to ono member of that
department who knows his taxes, it
would be hard to find anybody In
the treasury today who doesn't think
the excess profits and the capital
gains taxes wouldn't be better off
for a dry-cleaning. Opinions differ
among tho officials, of course. Some
would alter the current laws slightly,
while at leaat one of the advisers
would like to wipe at least ono of
" the laws right off the books.
What will probably be done about
It la this:
Treasury officials will continue to
appear before the congressional com
mittee. They will painfully explain
what the present lsws are and what
th mean. They will show what
t ' statutes have done and haven't
- . .-. They will make suggestions.
Tjen, when there Is some basl
n- agreement at the capital, they will
not make a recommendation. They
will find out what the president Baa
decided. Then they'll do their recom-

FREE SPEECH AND
FREE PRESS HELD
PARAMOUNT NEED
Former President Says In
tellectual Dishonesty Must
Be Continually Exposed
Steers Clear of Politics
WATER VILLE, Me., Nov. 8. (AP)
Terming free apeech, free press and
free debate the "very life stream of
advancing liberalism," Herbert Hoov
er today warned the nation to guard
against the "poison" of propaganda.
At the same time the former presi
dent asserted that In the- last 15
years "every dictator who has ascend
ed to power has climbed on the lad
ler of free speech and free press"
and then "suppressed all free speech
except his own."
To counteract propaganda he pre
scribed "more free speech." adding
"we must Incessantly expose Intellec
tual dishonesty and the purpose that
lies behind It. Half truth can
be defeated with the whole truth."
Honor Elijah Lovejoy
Hoover spoke at Colby college on
the 100th anniversary of the death of
Elijah Parish Lovejoy, a graduate of
the college and an editor at Alton,
III., who perished defending his right
to print what he wished against slav
ery. The address was broadcast on a
nation-wide hookup.
A free press, Hoover said "Is far
more than a publishers privilege.
It 1 a right of the people. But the
publishers are Its first lines of de
fense. They deserve the gratitude of
the country for the zeal with which
they have driven back every attempt
at legal restrictions."
Describing propaganda as a "sinis
ter word meaning half-truth or any
other" distortion of truth," Hoover
said It "moves by tainting of news,
by making synthetic news and opin
ions and canards. It promotes the
emotions of hate, fear and dissen
sion. "With still further refinements
(since the World war) It hss been
applied to politics. The great quality

New Justice Sustains Trade
Commission Contention in

Important Case "of Day
WASHINGTON, Nor. (AP)
Three Florida oil companies loat in
the supreme court today In their ef
fort to obtain reconsideration of re
cent action on the ground that Jus
tice Hugo L. Black was Ineligible to
sit on the bench.
The court gave no explanation of
its refusal to grant reconsideration.
That waa in line with regular pro
cedure in such action.
The announcement was made after
Black had read one opinion which,
he had written, dissented to another
and voted against the government
In a third case.
The Florida companies sought re- .
consideration of the court's refusal
on October 18 to Interfere with aw
tempts by the security, commission
to subpoena telegrams sent and re
ceived by .the companies.
Court Action Held void.
Not only waa the constitutionality
of Black's appointment challenged
but the petition contended tho
court's action on the litigation waa
"Invalid, Ineffectual, null and void,"
because the new Justice "could no
sit In Judgment . . as an unbiased,
unprejudiced, fair and Impartial
Judge."' - -
After, recalling that Black, while)
chairman of the senate lobby com

"Justice Black recorded himself as
