The charters of more, than one-fifth of the State's 11,000 corporations will be revoked unless franchise tax reports are filed immediately with the Department of Revenue, Secretary of State Thad Eure announced yesterday. The Secretary of State said that he was sending registered letters to the heads of 2,300 corporations, in forming them that their charters might be cancelled. Even non-profit organizations, which are not requir ed to pay franchise taxes, must file franchise reports, he added. Ordinarily, only 700 to 600 corpo rations are found to have neglected, to make franchise returns, m annual :heck-up8. Eure attributed the un usually large number this year to the fact that records have been checked more thoroughly than usual. - "A good many of the 2,300 corpo rations probably will pay promptly as soon as they teceive notice from us," he said, "Many of the others are non-profit organizations which may not have been aware that they are required to mabe reports." Eure explained ^thatunder Sta$jj law he was instructed to cancel char ters if the reports were not filed. President Stays Itta Up Maney^or^Budggt Ex cesses. -,?"??? j,'* I. I '"? ?

Ite additional farm funds, he said, should certain ly be a factor in., any tax revision which Congress undertakes, j His remarks were evoked by a question on the $380,000,000 voted into the farm appropriation bill for the next fiscal year by the Senate. Meanwhile, a bested dispute between Southern Senators on the administra tion plan for subsidizing cotton ex ports in an effort to reduce the big surplus in that commodity delayed final passage of the measure. In total it provides a record-breaking, $1,218,000,000 for the agriculture De partment for next year. Mr. Roosevelt pointed out first that the bill had not vet been finally approved, and declined to say "what his attitude toward signing or vetoing the measure would be if it comes through with the increases ptUl in cluded. ^ 1 J MOg AAA _ jtie saia ne ?u prouu?eu #**v,vw,- ? 000 last year in additional revenue to offset the increased appropriation and it was not forthcoming.

He expressed agreement with Sec retary of the Treasury Morgenthau, who had said he was "greatly dis tracted" over the situation. WHO KNOWS? V ? -????> j.ri f I , 1.

With most important Congressional elementsex ptessingf approval, President Roose vent transmitted to Capitol Hill today liis second government reorganization plan, transferring regrouping or. abolishing nearly a score of federal: executive agencies. The changes proposed; would salt, he said, in an annual saving iof $1^59,000. Principally they includ ed: The transfer of the Foreign Com merce Service of the Commerce De partment and of the foreign agri cultural service of the Agriculture Department "to the Department iof State and their consolidation there. The abolition of the National Bi tuminous Coal Commission and the transfer of its functions to the Sec retary of the Interior. The abolition of the- National Emergency Council and the transfer of its functionsto the' White House, with the exception of its motion pic ture and radio activities. These go to the Office of Education in the new Federal Security Administration. Mr. Roosevelt acted under the new government reorganisation hill.
