' ^ l-SAt^iTp ^ms WanWngton, June 14 (Auto-- caster)—^Abont ouc« a year some body starte a rumor that the President’s health is falling. ’The latest report ot this sort has stirred up a lot of gossip In Wggfc- ingtpn, and started newspi^ men and others to make the searching Inquiries. The net ^ suit has t>een to prove, ohe© tn^, that there Is nothing to the re port. Ttoe President's toealth, ac- carding to everyone who has fa cilities for finding out the facts, has never ibesn (better since he has been in the White House. Bxc^t for a alight head cold, which was cured by -Ills recent sojourn at hie mother’s home at Hyde Park, there seems to have been no foundation for the rumor of his Illness. A member of the National Press Club who circu lated the report in the first place lias -been dlemlssed from mem-( 'borsbip In that organization. . . The Preeldent’e recent utter ances and acts' certainly suggest that ‘his vigor is In- no way Imr paired. His denunciation of the Supreme Court tor taking a long vacation, from June..to Octoiber, when there are Important cases pending, is taken as an. indicatloa that Mr. Roosevelt has in no way abandoned ihls purpose of “re forming” the 'high court. Indeed, he repeated only a few days ago his belief that his proposal to.In crease the Court by the addition of six Justices will toe adopted at this se-saion of Congress. Impartial observers do not -be lieve ttoat is probable, but the President’s statement amounted to serving notice on Congress that he has not abandoned hla purpose and Is not willing to compromise. The beaWnfoimed opinion here is that the courtnpacking plan will not come to a vote oh the floor of either house at this ses- By deferring action, the President’s friends In Congress, many of whom are bitterly op posed to his Court plan, will en able him to “save his face” In stead of exposing It to the chance ot getting slapped. R‘vi.sion of Tax Irfxws The President’s action In point ing out ways which some wealthy men have used to avoid payment of Income taxes has opened up the question of revision ot the tax laws, ■which leaders In both houses of Congress have hoped to postpone until next session. Once the .subject is taken up for con sideration in any phase, the door Is opened for almost unlimited ed discussion. There are scores of “pot’’ tax measures which in dividual Senators and Represen tatives want to bring forward; but th© plan of the leaders is to postpone all of them for consid eration toy the appropriate com mittees and to try to work out a complete revision of the ■whole .system of Federal taxation next year. Another reason why Congress does not want to open the tax subject now is the -belief that, given a chance. .Senator LaFol- lette of Wisconsin Is prepared to demand the broadening of the in come tax base to include everyon© earning $15 a week or more, and toi arouse enough popular pres- «iire behind that idea to force Us serious consideration. The President’.s proposal for Federal regulation of hours and wages, w^hich ha.s been embodied bills by Senator Black and Representative Connery, marks another step toward the piece meal reetoration of parts of th© old NBA. It attempU to do for In dustries whose products are part of the stream of Interstate com merce, what the NRA codes tried to do for -practically all industry in tile matter of wages and hours. Unlike NRA this Is not an. emergency -measure and its main purpose is not to promote re-em ployment. Fundamentally, the Administration h' ?es by this means to abolish child labor and to put a -permanent floor under indufitrial wages and a permanent ceiling on Industrial hours. Covemment Control of Power iT'ii© expectation here Is that the wage-and-toour legislation will be enacted at this session. There will be material modifications of the bills as Introduced, 'but It Is quit© likely that a minimum wage of around $15 a week and a max imum working week of 40 hours may be Imposed lupon all Indus tries whose .products enter Into' the stream of interstate com merce.
