Leaders Take Steps To
Rush Consideration oI
Program to Qistribute
Wealthy
* r". ^ ^
Washington, June 26.?Democratic
leaders tonight smashed a Congree- i
sional revolt again* Itesidwrt Rooao
veit's new tax program and took the
first step toward plying recommen
dations for higher levies on large
incomes, corporation - profits and in
heritances before ? the Senate within I
24 hours.
The uprising, however, compelled |,
leaders to abandon earlier plans toil
rush the legislation through with-1
out the formality of holding hear-r
ings. ' jl
Chairman Pat Harrison (D.,Miss,), J<
of the Senate Finance Committee, <
announced after the meeting of his I
group that- "brief hearings" will be n
held. He said no requests had been J i
received from anyone desiring top
be heard but if any came to the I i
committee, they would be given con- |
side rati on. I <
The brief nature of the proposed
hearings, however, was emphasised ]
when Harrison said the committee 11
was virtually agreed upon two I <
phases of the program?higher taxes 11
on large incomes and corporation Ij
profits. He said it was probable that t
these would be brought before the 1
Senate tomorrow for discussion and t
debate.
This left only the inheritance tax j
proposal to be considered, and 1
while Harrison admitted that there i
was sharp conflict within his group
over this feature of the program, he i
added that he had no in ten tic? of t
holding lengthy hearings on it. (
The Mississippi Democrat, who ]
earlier opposed consideration of the ;
higher levies at this session of Con- ;
gress, but who yielded to the insist- <
ence of President Rc jsevelt, said a
tentative scale of rates had been i
agreed upon by the committee to- 1
day. They are:
Incomes of $1,000,000 or more a i
year: The present rate is a maxi- (
mum of 59 per cent. The new levies i
would fix the rate at 58 per cent on 1
incomes of $750,000 and not in ex- i
cess of $1*000,000. Thereafter the
schedule would be: ,
Tentative Rates.
$1,000,000 and not in excess of '
$1*500,000?60 per cent.
$1,500,000 to $2,000,000?63 per

The schedule on corporation taxes (
proposed follows: (

excess of $5,000?11 per cent (
$5,000, to $15,000?12 per cent

for the President to keep members
of Congress, who have worked "dili
gauUy'-' on hi*, program for six
months, in session indefinitely. He
proposed instead that the joint, -reso
lution be enacted and- Congressional
committees study the "rich'tnust
pay" program and report a measure
next winter.
Harrison replied that this sagger
tion already had been vetoed, -im
plying that it had been refused by
(he President. Senator Bennett- C.
Clark . (IX, Mo.), than threatened to.
filibuster against "snap., judgments
by the. finance committee in seek
ing to amend the nation's tax struc
ture without proper consideration. J
The revolt spread: to the Houses
where influential Democratic mem
bers of the House ways, and means
committee 3tubbonly refused to
consider a proposal to report out a
joint resolution extending the nuis
ance taxes 69 or 90 days. This was
suggested in order to give the Sen
ate more time to amend the pend
ng resolution without causing the
government to lose the $1,000,000 a
iay which these levies yiekL
In the face of this situation,
Democratic members of the Senate
finance committee were called into
conference. They heard .Vice
President John N. Garner and Ma
jority Leader Joe T. Robinson in
sist that they uphold the President's
land and an hour later pledged
;heir cooperation.
The full committee then met and
ifter a two-hour session agreed on
;entative rates and on the plan of
>rocedure.
Meantime, the proposed levies
vere being attacked by _conserva
aves in and out of Congress as "So
rialistic" and by Senator Huey P.
Long (D., La.), as too mild. Long
;aid the proposed amendments would
field only $2 a year for each per
lon in the country.
"The tax proposal is a fraud as a
?edistribution of wealth measure,"
le said. "It is not even a delusion."
Fred H. Clausen, Wisconsin maim-,
'acturer and chairman of the U. S.
L'hamber of Commerce finance com
mittee, issued a statement appealing
:o Congress not to rush "pell mell"
nto action on revenue legislation.

(Hertford Copnty Herald)
J. H. Moore, who resigned thel
position of superintendent of schools!
here after several years in this ca-1
parity, has been elected and has ac-1
cepted the post as superintendent of I
Schools at FarmviUe, N. C.
Under Mr. Moore's administration I
the schools here, both white audi
Negro, have had their period off
geatest growth, as well as attaining!
their highest records in scholastic I
attainments by pupils. Coming to I
the superintendency just at the time I
that the Ahoskie school district was I
completing its new building, erected!
with the view of meeting the needs I
| of the district for a dozen years orjt
more, attendance has grown to the!
point that the capacity of the build-1
ing is overtaxed, pupils have been I
sent to the Ahoskie school from a j j
large territory outside the Ahoskie]'
district by the county when the dis-j,
trict lines were abolished for attend- ,
ance. During the same period, a|
new building has been erected for j j
Negroes at Ahoskie, the administra-1.
lion of this work and the negro h
school being the responsibility of the]
local school superintendent. At theh
same time, the school here has main-1 (
tained a high scholastic standard,];
gaining state-wide recognition in <
this field and in athletics.
Mr. Moore has also taken an active
part in community and civic life
during' his residence here. He is a
member of the Kiwanis club, one of
the organizers of the Ahoskie Public
Library, and a teacher in the Baptist
Sunday school
Mr. Moore and his family will
move to Farmville as soon as a
residence there can be secured he
states.
In recognition of his ability as a
school administrator Mr. Moore
was elected county superintendent
of schools by the board of education
to succeed J. R. Brews, but .the elec
tion was re-considered by the board
and Mr. Brown retained in^the posi
tion following a mass meeting on the
question called. at the request of Mr.
Brown. Tift election of Mr. Moore
teethe county superintendency stirred
up a political hornet's nest through
out uthe county, with criticism direct
ed especially at the town of Ahoskie
for what was called "attempts to hog
everything."
NOTE:?Mr. Moore has arrived in

New York/ June 25>?General
Hugh S. Johnson tonight stepped
into one of the biggest jobs, of hie
public career?the administration of
federal work relief in New- York
City. j "
The formeradministrator of NRA

istrator, the announcement coming
from Harry ? L. Hopkins, adminis
trator, of the ?4,000,000,00ft federal

Appointment of the dynamic NRA
chief was the result of unremitting
effort on the part of Mayer florello

For several! weeks. Legpffdiar had

cept the position, Hia.capitulation
today, was. quickly. climaxed with
formal a government.:/ appointment at
the.genetafc lBnche<m;j?fc! the. White

Johnsonls return, to government
service was. quickly , regarded 3 as in
line, with President Rooseyettfs
wishes expressed a yew ago when
the "Daddy of the. Blue Eaglet-re-,
signed his. NBA; poet*, >'
Outstanding in Johnson's . stipula-,
lions in accepting the. job is that he
work without, pay, receiving only
per deim expenses of $25 a day. He
works only four days a week, with
the understanding that the job
terminates ? October 1 unless the
President and himself consider his
continuance necessary.

"I am to consult ireeiy wiui may
>r Laguardia and go as far as pos
sible with him," Johnson said in
Washington, "but I am to report to
Harry Hopkins only and I am re
sponsible to Hopkins only."
Laguardia at once announced the
jssignment of Commissioner of
[Xocks John McKenzie to act as
iasion between Johnson and the
?ity administration,
Oswald W. Knauth, director of
he emergency relief bureau here,
.vill continue in his present work.
With more than a million and a

iirect. a. work and, relief operation
>f a magnitude hardly excelled by

Appointment of Johnson to the top
idmjpistration climaxes a period off
ipheavals and dissatisfaction in the
civil relief administration here.
The high point was reached re
cently when a city aldermanic in
resti gating committee, probing the
entire relief administrative- struc
ture, brought out its famous "boon
ioggling" findings, and . evidence .
hat professional social workers had
iescended upon New York City to
largely take over relief.
