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."

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.

se i vices for Thomas J. Mahoney, 69.
former state legislator who died Sun
day, will be held tldsy.
The Reverend Homer Martin. 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

Opposition within the government

IT means a lot that famous golfers like Gene Sarazen, Helen

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."
