PRESIDENT STEADFAST
IN BELIEF NO NEW TAXES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 (IP)
President Roosevelt, answering a
press conference question today.
said it had not been determined
whether congress would have to
enact new taxes. He added, how
ever, as things look now such
levies will not be necessary.
The president remarked treas
ury studies are being made and
he hoped they would be in shape
for use by congressional commit
tees meeting in November to con
sider tax revision.
In answer to other queries. Mr.
Roosevelt said the undistributed
profits tax and the capital gains
tax are being given attention by
the treasury in this connection.
These two levies recently have
drawn the fire of business spokes
men, who have asserted they were
partially responsible for the stock
market downtrend.
The chief executive will con
fer today with Daniel W. Bell,
acting budget director, regarding
financing for a proposed new
corn loan program. Secretaries
Morgenthau and Wallace will
participate in the meeting.

step in the president's suggested
government re-organization pro

White House secretaries, empha

that his father wished co-ordinated.
The son, whose long legs stretch
beneath a desk in a room across

father's office, referred to himself
as a "clearing house." He empha
sized the program was voluntary,
and said its purpose was greater

GOVERNMENT VESSELS
NEW YORK, Oct. 22 (W)--Announcement
by the federal mai

wage scales for seamen on 155
government-subsidized ships 're
ceived a hostile reception today
from Joseph Curran. general or
ganizer of the National Maritime -
union, affiliate of the Committee
for Industrial Organization.
We insist," asserted damn.
that any minimums advoeated
by the maritime commission be
considered as strictly minimums,
and not interfering in any way
with the collective bargaining ar
rangements of the union.
"We don't consider the marl.
time commission a non-partisan
body in the first place; it is a
Partisan body, and therefore it's
not qualified to set any scales of
wages whatsoever. The maritime
commission operates 40 ships, and
therefore is not in a position to
operate as a fact-finding body."
Joseph P. Kennedy, chairman of -
the maritime commission, said in
Washington the new minimum
wages would range from 135 to

effect November 1.
