By CHARLES p. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer Washington. April 15.—Congress is afraid to go home without enacting what is described as social legislation of one sort or another. The lawmaking body is in a bad jam. President Roosevelt desires' it to ad journ as soon as possible. His man. agers on Capital Ilia want, to comply willi his wishes. Resides, they agree with him that recovery is retarded by continued congressional activities, which generally are regarded as of a nature to keep business men in too uncertain a frame of mind to take chances until satisfied that legislative cats will take no unforeseen jumps right in the midst of- deals they arc engaged in transacting.

MONDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 15, 1935 James Sinclair Says He Is Ready To Go To Jail for Refusal To Pay The Levy i STAND IS BOLDEST TAKEN BY ANY ONE Northern Manufacturers Confer on Plans for Relief of Situation, While Roose velt Prepares To Receive Congressmen To Discuss Matter Boston, Mass., April 15. —(AP)—The first open defiance of the administra tion's cotton processing tax was voic. ed today by James Sinclair, presi dent of the Fall River Cotton Manu facturers Association, who said: "1 am willing to go to pail for re fusal to pay this tax myself.” Sinclair, who is also treasurer of the Charlton Mills in kail River, pro posed that northern and southern manufacturers refuse to pay the tax “unless President Rooseveit shows an inclination to aid the textile indus try.” "I am in a ‘Boston tea party’ mood” Sinclair declared. “I am willing to go to jail for refusal to pay this tax myself. I can enjoy a rest in jail as ! well as anybody else.” Sinclair’s openly stated defiance ct the administration’s processing tax was the first expressed by manufac turers who arc fighting for removal of the tax, elimination of the north south wage differential, establishment of higher tariff barriers and a solu tion for over-production.” Northern manufacturers of cotton goods responded, to a conference call ed of the policy committee of ths National Association of Cotton Manu facturers today to plan relief for the industry in New England, its 100,000 employees and their families. A conference with New England manufacturers called, by Governor James M. Curley, of Massachusetts was postponed, the governor’s office announced. iMieanwhilci. in Washington Presi dent Roosevelt consented today to receive a delegation of House mem. bers late this week for a discussion of the situation. CHAIN GAS TAKES RETAINED IN BILL Effort tp Remove Levy on Filling Stations Fails, Despite Lobby Dolly Uinimtcli Boreas, In the Sir Wulter Hotel, BY J. C. RASKERVILL. i Raleigh, April 15 —The chain filling station tax section is still in t.he reve nue bill in spite of the tremendous pressure which the lobbyists for the big gasoline and oil companies have weeks, and in spite of carefully been applying to the Senate for many ■weeks, and in spite of carefully drawn amendments to the section which, if adopted, would have given the gaso line companies loop-holes through which they might the tax. i For while the Senate refused to adopt the Barker chain filling station tax section which was adopted by the House, it did retain the principle of the tax as adopted by the joint Senate and House Finance Committees and adopted an amendment to this section which is expected to yield just as much If not more, than the original sec tion. For while the new schedule is lower than that in the committee sec tion. especially as applied to small chains, the amendment removed that portion of the committee section which provided that the taxes paid under the chain filling station tax section might be applied as a credit on the lecense taxes levied under another part of the revenue bill. Thus all the filling sta tions coming under the chain filling station tax portion of the bill must pay the chain filling station taxes as well as the regular license taxes imposed under Section 153. As a result of this action, it is esti mated that the amount of revenue re ceived will aggregate just as much as if the original committee section call ing for a tax ranging from $25 per sta tion in chains of five to SIOO per sta tion in chains of 100 stations or more had been enacted.

Baruch’, today assailed the Flynn -plan advanced by the Senate Munitions Committee to take the pro fits out of war. He said it would abolish the "present economic system in war.” John J. Flynn, writer, on aconmic subjects and advisor to the commit tee, has drawn a. plan to limit in dustrial profits during war to three percent and individual incomes to $lO, 000. Captains of industry would be un der army discipline and could be sent, to the trenches if they failed to co operate. Baruch, a. New York financier who headed President Wilson’s World War Industries Board, has proposed a plan of his own to recapture excess war profits, and his ideas were drawn up on in the drafting of the McSwain bill which has passed the House. Baruch heads President Roosevelt’s committee studying war profits. Liquor Bill Might Still Become Law In the Walter Hotel. Daily Dispatch Boreas, Raleigh, April 15.—The Hill liquor control bill is still breathing and not dead as some of its opponents hav*. proclaimed. It is being pushed as a means of stopping the gap in the State’s expected revenue caused by the removal by the Senate of the clause in the revenue bill which would have brought staple foods (sugar, meats and so on) under the three per cent retail sales tax levy. The reineration of the exemptions, just as they are under the present law, removes from the revenue bill $1,500,000 annually in anticipated re venue. Senator Hill, author of the famed control measure which bears his name, now believes that his bill could reasonably be expected to pro duce that amount. "As I see it,” he said, “this legislature will have to tax either fatback or liquor. The peo ple who eat in cases or anywhere else (Continued on Page Five) WEATHER FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

This measure also passed the Senate week before last. It. is generally thought that the House will also approve the bill, although leg islative friends of the highway fund are expected to fight it.

Offered by Representative Day, of Onslow, an eastern county, the bill would reapportion representation of the House of Representatives on the basis of the 1930 Federal census.

April 15—The Senate is ex pected to complete consideration of the revenue blil as a committee ofitlie whole and pass it on its first reading either by late this afternoon or to night. It resumed consideration of the bill at 2 o’clock this afternoon with the dividends tax section and the income tax schedule section still to be acted upon. The prevailing opinion when the Senate convened this afternoon was that it would refuse to write the divi dends tax provisions back into the bill passed by the House and which was struck out by the Senate Finance Committee, despite the fact that this tax would have yielded about $600,000 a year. Nor it expected that the Senate would change the present In come tax section and boost the tax schedule on small incomes, although Senators Allsbrook of Halifax and Gibbs, of Warren, are expected to make an effort to secure the adoption of an amendment to this effect. The upping of the income tax on the smaller incomes as proposed in the Allsbrook and Warren amendment would not bring in much more reve nue, probably not more than $150,000 a year, according to estimates by Commissioner of Revenue A J. Max well. Since the Senate is expected to re fuse to enact the dividends tax, which would tax the dividends received by the very rich people of the State as normal income under the income tax law, it is not expected that the Senate will then vote to increase the income tax on those with incomes of from (Continued on Page Five) Great Britain, France And Italy Combined For Peace Stresa, Italy, April 15.—(AP)— A determined unity among the three great western European powers was seen in conference circles today as the most significant contribution to peace resulting from the tripartite conversation of Great Britain, France and Italy.
