CAROLINA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1837 (EIGHT PAGES) NUMBER 40 FOUR POINT PROGRAM OUTLINED T 0 CON GRESS BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT Congress Convened Mon day ? Members and Com mittees Active And Inter ested In What Is To Come ? Washington, Nov.- 15. ? Presi- ! dent Roogevelt warned Congress today that there has been a ! ' "marked" industrial recession and proposed that) it be combatted by quick action on his legislative ! program, and by revising tax laws particularly to aid small business men, but also to remove inequali ties to all. He said in a message to the legislators as they assembled in special session that tihe business decline has not reached "serious proportions," and cautioned that with the exercise ot "ordinary prudence," there is no reason why "we should suffer any prolonged recession, let alone any general economic paralysis." But the Chief Executive empha sized, the slump has had the ef fect) of decreasing the national in come ? "and that its a matter of definite concern." The immediate j task is to try to increase employ- 1 ment by the ufe of private capital, he said, adding: "Obviously, government cannot) let nature take its course without j regard to consequences. If private enterprise does not respond gov ernment must take up the slack." \ He appealed to Congress and t-he nation as a whole to cooperate, j To Balance Budget Mr. Roosevelt reaffirmed his de-i termination to balance the 193 T-j 38 budget; and insisted that while there should be revision of the tiax laws, there should be none : which would reduce aggregate re venues or increase the burden of those least able to pay. Shortly before his message wusi read in the House and Senate, a bouse ways and means sub-com mitteev studying proposed tax law changes agreed tentatively to granti industry two more "cush ions" under the embattled undivi ded corporate profits levy. One would permit a business man to carry over operating losses for a year to apply against adjusted net income of the following year for purposes of arriving at a taxable rate on his income. The second would lift) the burden of the lav from ^two-thirds of the nation's j corporations with a net income of $5,000 or less. House Majority ieader Bert rand H. Snell of New York, pre-j dicting-he President's mes sage was conciliatory and devoid of usual criticism of business, he made it plain from the "wide social program" initiated under the New Deal. .

A conference voted against sen ding a copy of the declaration toj the Japanese government, then! adjourned until Nov. 22. The declaration was . prepared ! by the United States. British andj French delegates. Asked what the conference! would do at next Monday's ses- I sion, Belgian Foreign Minister Paul Spaak said that the clue was! to be found in Ohe last paragraph i of the declaration. It asserts that, while hoping Japan will* not maintain twice voiced refusal to attend the con ference, the stai-as represented must consider what is to be their! common attitude in a situation where one party to an interna- j tional treaty insists its action does) not come within the scope of i that treaty. Denmark, Norway and Sweden abstained from the vote. Their j delegates expressed agreement in j principle with terms of the de claration. Beal In State Wliiteville.

When a Republican wins a major political battle these days, that's news'.

OTCeefe, radio and stage funnyman and news | paper paragrapher, referred to I Barton as a 1940 Presidential pos sibility. Some political seers say Idea la more truth than comedy, i Washington, November X". ? Congress begins its extra session in an atmosphere of p6liticul~con fusion and dissension which sub jects any attempts to forecast re sults to heavy discounts. The best "opinion here is that t?hu acts of the special session will be governed more by the members' own judg ment of national needs than by the desires of the Administration for the further promotion of soci al and economic reforms. Itusiness Trouble* First Tiie first need, as many lead ers in both Senat" and House see it, is to encourage business. There are indications that the Adminis tration, too, is keenly aware of this need. When he called Con gress in special session President Roosevelt did not iist tax law amendments in the immediate program of legislation. Farm leg islation was No. 1. But that was several weeks ago. and in the in terval a threatened business de pression has appeal * <1, with breaks in the stock markets and other signs of business unrest. While the Administration (toes not accept full responsibility for the market slump aggravated by the foreign, war. situation, and other economic factors beyon both legs in ? ? an accident near the railway sta I tion in October^ 1D35, was in pro j gress of trial as we closed our forms. Court was still in session yes terday and will hold on .through the week, with possibly a full week, next week. \ up to as high as 26 percent of the amount. SOAKING THE "BAD BOYS" The purpose of the undistribut ed surplus tax was two-fold. In ; part it v.-as designed to punish a few large corporations which had built up large reserves for future expansion, but whose controlling management had incurred the dis pleasure of tilie Administration. The economic Justification was the , assumption that, by paying out surpluses in ""dividends, the in comes of stockholders would be j increased and could be taxed at higher rates, thus bringing ad ditional revenue into the Trea sury. Ib was estimated that this tax would produce $800,000,000 ! a year of new revenues. It not only hax failed to pro duce anything like- the anticipated revenue but, according to the hundreds of business men, in dustrialists, investors, bankers and economists who have appeared before the sub-committee of the House which is studying tax mat ters, the undistributed profits tax has proved a serious obstacle to business improvement and expan sion. The way in which all business enterprises have developed in the | past is by "plowing back" profits ; into the business, and the present tax penalizes that. TAX CHANGES ARE "NO. 1" Somewhat reluctantly, the Ad ministration has accepted the Oruth of the arguments against the capital gains tax and the tax on undistributed profits, and Ros- , well Magill, assistant Secretary of the Treasury, has been working with the House Committee, help ing to shape revisions and amend ments in those and some other taxes widely complained of. Al most unanimously Senators and Representatives predict a change in at least the undistributed pro fits tax, and Chairman Vinson of the sub-committee of the Ways and Means committee lists It aa '"No 1" on j the legislative pro ' gram. ? j Washington County farmers have purchased nine para bred 'Duroc- Jersey boars and seven bred gilts from a Pitt Comntr breeder in a movement to Improve awlns production thCQUghoat the Coua
