ROOSEVELT GIVES SPECIAL SESSION LEGISLATIVE GOAL ' (Continued from Pag Ons head, his actress-daughter Tallulah looking on from the gallery, could hardly hear 374 members about "present" to their names. . Committees went through the for mality of notifying Mr. Roosevelt by telephone that oongreas waa aa- ' aemblod. The senate recessed for more than an hour to await Its report. But the house had the presi dent's message read Immediately. Paramount in conversation were Mr. Roosevelt's remarks on "a marked recession In industrial production and Industrial purchases" which thru "decreasing the national Income" became "a matter of definite oon- - cern." Expects Budget Balance . Mr. Roosevelt said he expected next year's budget to be bslanced and promised a later message on means of encouraging private capital,. In the housing field. Members listened silently and at tentively during the reading. But the program It recommended made little further progress today. Outstanding, perhaps, waa a tenta tive agreement In a house ways and means subcommittee to exempt all corporations having 45,000 net In come, or less, from the undisturbed profits tax. Offering the possibility of further disruption in administration legisla tive desires waa an announcement by Senator Bridges (R-NH) that he would reopen the controversy over the appointment of Justice Hugo I. Black by demanding a change in senate rules to compel hearings on supreme court nominations. In the past It has been customary to con firm sitting senators without hear ings. Adjourn to Tuesday Both houses adjourned until to morrow shortly after hearing the president's message. Rep. Church (B-Ill) blocked an attempt by Repre sentative Rayburn, the Democratic leader, to quit until Thursday with the assertion "we are here for busi ness." In a two-minute talk In opposition to the wage and hour bill. Rep Lam neck (D-Ohlo) aald "there Is un certainty. Inquiry and doubt as to the wisdom of the many things we have done and there la great appre hension of some of the things we are threatening to do." The houso then adjourned, out of respect to the late Representative R. P. Hill of Oklahoma ICty. Some observers contended the en tire course of the president's aecond term depended on the developments in the two almost continuous ses sions of congress before the 1038 off-year elections. Political Bearing The two sessions also will have an important bearing on the political future, they anld. The party line-up of the future may depend on wheth er Democrat close the wide breach which was created within their ranks lnst session. Despite the complexities of .the situation. Speaker Bankhead forecast the special eeeslon would "carry through substantially the program" outlined by the president. He aald the "time element" was the chief uncertainty. President Roosevelt's decision to send his mewugo Instead of deliver ing It In person robbed the opening day of much of 1U customary drama. WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. (AP) President Roosevelt recommended re moval of tax Injustices to encourage productive .enterprise" today In aub mlttlng a four-point program to coitRmsn, The president asked "early action" on leg 1a) At ton on farm crop control, labor, wugr and hours, reorpanlm tlon of the executive branch and planning of natural resources. Minn Id Itrmnve Injustice But of at least equal Importance to members were these rrmnrka on taxes: "Unjust provisions should be re moved provided such removal does not create new Injustices. Nor can we at this time accept a revision of our tnx lnws which Involves a re duction In the aggregate revenues or an incr In the aggregate tax bur dens of those least able to bear them. "We should give speclsl considera tion to lightening Inequitable bur dens on the enterprise of the smell bustneas mm of the nation. In this , we -may alno find assistance in our search for a more effective method of checking the growing conoenera tlon of economlo control and the re sultant monopolistic practices which persist today in spite of antitrust statutes. A further search fnr addi tional methods to meet this threat to free competitive enterprise la call ed for at this time." "The present decline has not reached serious proportions. But It has the effect of decresdlnc the na tional Income and that la a matter of definite concern." Recovery Methods Known Discussions with business men. large and small, and leaders In agri culture and labor: Mr. Roosevelt as serted, had made clear to him Aiat "we have wisdom enough In the country today not only to check the present receslon but to lay the groundwork for a permanent rccov ery." "If the people are as willing as the government to use the economic knowledge gained In recent years, he said, "this recession need go on no further. "With the exercise of ordinary pru donee, there la no reason why we should suffer any prolonged reces' slon. let alone any general economic paralysis. "Despite some maladjustments. which can be corrected, underlying conditions are not unfavorable. He aald the fundamental situation was not to be compored with 1039 snd said the obvious Immediate task waa Increased use of private capital to create employment. Housing Plana Coming "A little later." the president aald "I will address you further In regard to Droooaala to encourage private cap ital to enter the field of new housing on a lame scale. On the four points of m immedi ate urogram he listed: I "An all wceiner- surplus h control plan aimed at "abundance without waste" and backed by new taxes should the cost exceed trie reg ular budget. In that connection he said: "i hone and believe that the su preme court will not again deny to farmers the protection wnicn it nuw accords to others. 3 "Flexible" machinery to provide minimum wsges, maximum hours and banishment of child labor. a Reorganization of government In the Interest of "efficiency," nut with a warning against trying to make "major savings"' In this way 4 "Regional planning boards to "avoid waste and give the nation. Us money's worth" from government ex penditures. What these four subjects promise in continued and Increased purchas ing power what they promise in greater efficiency ln the use or gov ernment funds." Mr. Roosevelt said, "are Intelligent foundations for the other plans for tho encouragement of Industrial expnnslon with govern ment help. . Must Have Action "It private enterpriae does not re spond, government must take up the slack." The president declared that "the ultimate answer to the condtlons of today" was "a cordial and confident co-operation not only between gov ernment and every kind of citizen but also between every kind of citi zen and his government." Aa never before in history," ho said, "the well-being of those who have much, as well as those who have leas, depends upon a contented society of good-will where the good will rests on the solid foundation that all have enough." After mentioning taxoa and budget balancing, Mr. Roosevelt specifically Included among other matters "re ceiving renewed examination," tho problems of railroads and other pub lic utilities where, he said, "because of thoroughly unsound flnsnclng ex tending over many past years, solu tions will frankly be difficult." Ad lire Obtained Before dispatching his message. which he completed late last night, the president went over It at a con ference with Vice-President Barner. Speaker Bankhead and Senator Bark- ley and Representative Rayburn. sen ate and house Democratic leaders. In the finished message, which he soon thereafter sent by courier to the capltol, Mr. Roosevelt devoted two long paragraphs to taxation. Modifications adequate to encour age productive enterprise, especially for the smaller bulnosscs," he said, "must not extend to the point of using the corporate form for the purpose of hiding behind It to re duce, or eliminate, taxes In a way not open to an Individual, or part nership. Nor should we extend tax prlvlllgea to speculative profits on capital where the Intent of the origi nal risk was speculation rather than the actual development of productive nnteprlse. Nor can we at this time accept a revision of our revenue lnws which Involves a reduction In the aggregate revenues or an Increase In the aggregate tax burdena of those least sblo to bear them." Would Aid Mn nil firm As to lightening "the burdens on the enterprise of the small business men." he said : "Small businesses, or even those of average sire, have difficulties of financing and distribution which are not shared by large corporations. Therefore, by special tax considera tion they should receive more equal opportunity to compete with their more 6werful competitor " Work on such detslls should not be obscure, the president said. "The broad central truth that thla admin istration has pleoped Haelf to the people of the United States to carry on with a wide social program point ed toward higher living stsndsrds and a more Just distribution of the gains of civilization. "Deflation and Inflation.' he aald In that regard, "are equal enemies of the balanved economy that will pro duce progressive Increase In national Income." 4 IN NEED OF HELP IN PRO TITLE CAMPAIGN CHICAGO, ' Nov. 16. (AP) Those rampaging Green Bay Packers may be the "hottest" team In big-time professional football, but they've already started yelling for help on their drive toward the National league title. The Packers, after losing their first two games to the Chicago Cardinals and Chicago Bears, have won seven straight contests. They have scored 314 points', 50 more than the De troit Lions, second-high scoring unit in the circuit, and have tallied more than 30 points a game in four of their victories. But their hlgh-gcarcd attack will avail them nothing. It is likely un less Detroit's Lions, out of tho title running, come to the Packers' aid by whipping Chicago's Bears on Thanksgiving day. The Bears teaa the western division with six vie tor lea, one loss and one tie. Green Bay has lost twice, but has no ties. Orccn Bay will bi favored to wnip the Olants at New York next Sunday. The Packera bowled over Phlladei phla yeaterdsy, 37 to 7. At the name time Detroit served notice that It has the stuff to stop the Bears by handing New York a 17 to 0 whipping. Chicago's Boars had little trouble downing Brooklyn, 29 to 7, at Chi cago. Washington's Redskins, with a chance to take over the eastern lead bowed to Pittsburgh's Pirates, 31 to 13 at Pittsburgh. -f $100 FINE, 30 DAYS FOR DRUNK DRIVER Pleading guilty to a charge of driving an automobile while under the Influence of Intoxicating liquor.

Inter national president of the United Auto Workers of America, la now be ing charged with dictatorship by some of his cohorts In the C. I. O. unions. This time It la censorship. Mr Martin, It seems, doesn't believe in the freedom of the union press. It Is reliably reported that he has abol ished by decree all the papers ub 11 shed by the local unions under him. Tho groups, some of which were very proud of their publications, were told that, If they wanted news of their own organizations, they could have a page In the United Automo bile Worker, the publication which is supposed to cover the whole Industry. Articles appearing on these pages, however. Mr. Martin rules, are "to be edited by the International office (Mr. Martin's) and. If necessary, re written or withheld ..." Apparently some of his subjects don't like the martlnettlng Martin manner. One union paper remarked: "Hitler and Mussolini exercise no censorship over the press, except when they disagree with what the press Is printing." While "regional planning" Is still mentioned as either a threat or a promise in connection with 'this ses sion of congress, few hope to witness a christening of tho seven little TVA sisters Immediately. Latest to raise Its voice In opposi tion la the National Orange. Not publicly discussed In advance, but scheduled for Introduction at the grange convention Monday, Is a resolution, said to have considerable backing, which expresses hearty dis approval of these measures. Opposition within the government to the seven sisters and their Uk Is still strong if not vocal. Engineers speak with authority and the engi neers don't like to see so many of their functions taken over by boards such as will govern regional projects. It Is probable the engineers may be hoard from later. Wss the president trying to scoop somebody? On Friday last, his eight-minute press conference was devoted largely to remarks concerning his plan for stimulating private enterprise with a housing program.

The court suggested Wednesday as a date for the hearing. District At torney F. J. Newman said thla was too short a time In wtilch to as semble witnesses and documentary evidence. No definite date was set. Subpoenaing of three state prison Inmates at county expense, as wit nesses for the defense, was requested by Attorney Porter J. Neff. Issuance of the order therefor was held in abeyance, when a legal question arose as to the right of the court to au thorize the expense incurred.

IT means a lot that famous golfers like Gene Sarazen, Helen Hicks, Lawson Little, and Ralph Guldahl, agree in their preference for Camels. They have found that costlier tobaccos do place Camels in a class apart. Listen to Ralph Guldahl, National Open Champion: "I've stuck to Camels for 10 years," he says. "I smoke lots of Camels and I've never known them to jangle my nerves. That partly explains why so many golfers are loyal Camel smokers." And not only golfers, but people in all walks of life millions of Americans prefer Camels day after day after day, making them the LARGEST SELLING cigarette in America... or the world. IS.
