Presi dent Roosevelt stressed, in a four point legislative program outlined today for the Special session to follow, tax revision and national cooperation to halt the economic "recession - The four point program to open the session emphasized agriculture, planning, wage hour laws and reorganization. The outline was advocated by the President, but the congress men were busy clamoring for a lessening of burdens of busi ness. . . . - The message, which placed tax changes ahead of all else, caused many listeners to feel that the Chief Executive's words overshadowed his request for 'early action" on farm crop con trol, wage and hour, regional planning and executive reorgan ization legislation. "Unjust provisions should be removed provided the removal does not create new injustices," Roosevelt stated. "We should give special consideration to lighten inequitable burdens on the enterprise of the small busi ness men of the nation." Some observers indicated the entire course of the President's second term depended on the de velopments in the two almost continuous sessions jof congress before the 1938 xff year elec tions. They also said that the two sessions will have considerable bearing on the political future The future party line up will de pend on whether Democrats close the wide gap which was created within their ranks last session.
