Some said they were convinced by recent talks with the President he was willing to modify the corporate surplus and capital gains taxes, and he would agree to early considera tion. The campaign to revise corporate taxes at the special session ran into a new obstacle, however. Treasury officials expressed doubt over the a mount of revenue that might be ob tained from the substitute measure approved by the House sub-committee. In announcing approval Tuesday of a substitute for the present undistri buted) profile iev.ies, su'b-commit*ee members said it would raise as much revenue as the rates they propose to eliminate. Treasury experts since then, how ever, have indicated v uncertainty on this point. They reserve decision pend ing completion of more detiled esti mates. A ' Chairman Vinson, Democrat, Ken tucky, of the sub-committee, said the new measure is a real undistributed profits tax, but it is reasonable.. It gives more premium for distribution.

Senator Barkley, the Demo cratic leader, said he would hold the chamber in session Friday and Sat urday in an effort to pass the measure by Wednesday of next week.

G. Boothby fol lowed up hfs House of Commons at tack on President Roosevelt s P<>Rcy by demanding today that the United States make clear its future economic program. He declared such a state ment of position should precede con clusion of British-American trade agreement negotiations. After his House of Commons speech last night, in which he charged Pres ident Roosevelt had started market declines endangering peace, the hand some member declared anything the President said affecting American bus iness was immediately reflected in British trade. “Britain fears a major business re cession,” he said today. “Before my speech was made, every one was ter rified to voice his fears because trade agreements might be jeopardized. In his address, Boothby said: “What is the use of making a trade agreement or attempting to cooperate with a government which seems deter mined to sabotage the economic sys tem under which we live without any alternative system put in its place? “In the spring of this year, the Pres ident of the United States of America suddenly announced that in his opt ion commodity prices were too high, Continued on Page Two.)

McFarland, Henderson Sales Supervisor. $27.23 was Henderson’s season aver age through last Friday. This was the highest average of any market report ing its “season average,” regardless of location. Up to the close last night for the Thanksgiving holidays, notwithstand ing the great quantity of inferior types now being sold daily, the sea son’s average was $27, and we believe when the regular “tobacco reports” are published this coming Monday morning, that the Henderson market will still be tops. Although, as stated, great quantities of the lower grades are now being CONGRESS DIFFERS OVER FDR METHODS That father Than Ends Aimed at Accounts for Difficulties By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, Nov. 25. —Why is it that President Roosevelt, while ap parently nearly, if perhaps not quite, as popular as ever among the rank and-file of voters throughout the coun try, has so much trouble with Con gress? The answer seems to be that the rank-and-file of voters are “sold” on the president because they have a firm faith in the excellence of his intentions toward them, whereas the economically better educated members of Congress look with profound skep ticism upon his proposed methods of making his good intentions effective. An interview I once had with the late Senator Couzens of Michigan told the story. One View. Couzens, though a Republican was pro-Roosevelt. " ‘F. D/ is the first president we ever had,” he said, “who is whole heartedly in sympathy with the com mon people.” The Wolverine solon didn’t even ex cept George Washington or Thomas (Continued on Page Four.).

Some of our .buyers have gotten in recently additional orde*s for certain types of the high medium and better grades. Report of sales up to Wednesday night, reads: Tonnage, 19,198,542 pounds; money $5,185,971.93, making an average for the whole of $27.00. This is a gain in poundage this sea son, as compared with last year, of 2,912,878 pounds, and in average of $1.15 per hundred pounds. How much is left to be sold is pro blematical, but from the best infor mation available, somewhere between 80 and 82 percent of the crop in this belt has been sold, and something like Madrid Has A Night Os War Terror Madrid, Nov. 25.— (AP)—Stricken , Madrid awoke today from another night of terror to count its dead and take stock of material damage from one of the heaviest shellings of the Spanish civil war. Like a gusty rainstorm, the bom bardment swept back and forth across the city last night from the center to outlying residential sections. Three times Madrid residents thought the shelling had ended, but insurgent and government batteries did not fall silent until midnight. Disastrous as the engagement was to this, thickly populated city, it must have been equally as disastrous to in surgent big gun emplacements, which Madrid artillerymen shelled. First reports were that abdut a score of persons were killed in Madrid and many others injured. The artillery bombardment started after insurgents had launched an of fensive in the University City section. WEATHER FOR NORTH CAROLINA.
