I $1.00 A YEAR M ADVANC ! Congress^ Lai J" Washington, May 24 (Autocaste)r>| ?-Whether there will be a revision of the tax lawis to eliminate levies which are hampering business expansion seems somewhat more doubtful nowtivan it did a shortoime ago. The reason for this doubt is the refusal of the President to give his indorsement to the tax-revison program prepared by the Secretary of I the Treasury ana nis sum, worKuig I in cooperation with the chairmen of I the Congressional committees havI ing to do with tax matters. I There is a strong inclination on I the part of Congressional leaders to I go ahead with a tax revision pro gram regardless of whether the president approves or disapprove, I Secretary Morgenthau may present I his program to Congress without I Presidential indorsement, I The President has not said that I he will not approve a tax revision I bill if passed, but he has let it be I known that he will not let any proI gram which would reduce or repeal I exisiUng taxes be put forward as an I Administration measure. I Washington observers are some-; if* Roosevelt's what puzzieu sr?8aBEn_mm* ?. attitude. Early in the year the an nounced polcy of the AciminisVaI tion was "appeasement" of business, Resolution* Offered At the meeting held here of the Chamber of Commerce of . the I United States, remarks were made I by business leaders and resolutions I offered which were extremely critiI cai of the Administration's policies. I Some of the President's intimates I seized the opportunity which such I criticism afforded, to point out to I Mr. Roosevelt that the business inI terests of the nation did not seem I to be grateful to him, but we the belief of many Washington I I servers, accounts for the chSttflfll I the Presidential attitude towaBS(^6^tr The second part of the President's departmental reorganization, proI gram, like the first part, has ;met I with general approval, ft provides I for consolidations* and shifts of I bureaus from departments where where I they don't belong w ? ... I they fit, which every President for years has been trying-to get ConI gress to approve. I The President's estimate of I money savings by reason of these I changes is $1,250,000 a year. There I is no doubt of Congressional apI proyal, even though Congress is in I a spending mood. b I propriation: It was voice vote. All the talk about econor was heard on Capitol pi the session has dropped Per. The slogan of "recovery in stead of more reforms" is no longei I heard. There is no such thing as f concrete recovery program in Wash ington, either In the Executive Office or in Congress. I The national income is 4isappointI ir.gly low, and shows no signs of earlj increase. The one bright spot in the eco nomic situation, as most careful obI servers here see it, is the home-buildI |ng boom. That is growing rapidlj I in every part of the nation* The sys tem of insuring building loans set uj I by the F.H.A. is considered by man; ^ be the most useful of all the Nev Deal's achievements. Under it privat I ^aPital is more and more freely get ting to work and hundreds of thou sands of new homer are being buil Much of the confusion of mind which everybody can observe i I Washington can be attributed to th I ^fr. 8care- There is no doubt thf I a* war talk has had the efifec I verting the attention of man fairs m ??ce internal af (Please turn to page H 1 ,4 1^^? ^ Si&jk '3 A V* ?| - : I ' J '- >If*/*, vi ttLiTffiilllffi' -'"fifVv<"jr**vft 3ors For Tax Mrs. F.
