MANUFACTURERS
 AND IMPORTERS
 DIFFER IN VIEWS
Former Support and Latter Condemn American VaIua- ton Provisions of Ford
 ney Tariff Bill
By Associated Press

Washington, July 27.--views of business men on the American valuation provisions Tn the Fordney tariff bill were given the Senate flnanace committee today and sup port and condemnation of the plan came alternately. The days testi- mony marked sharply the line be- tween the domestic manufacturer and the importer, the former supporting and the latter denouncing the prop osltion to change the basis of duties, assessment
 The committee was told by Jacob DeJong, a New York manufacturer, that the claims of the plans op- ponents that 1t would result disas trously to most lines of import was untenable. He declared that, on the basis of last years imports, less than $l,000, 100000 worth of the com nodlties brought in would be ma- terally affected.
 Sugar, raw silks. hides unmanu- factured rubber and wool weNe citei as commodities whose American valuation Is. approximately ihe world Ndludllpi. NAIs i1cucut t SOiAfe'tiuct Nt'e'- these imports would bear ddties only slightly higher under the American valuation than under the present system of levying taxes on the for eign price.
 Thomas H. Eddy of Marshall Field and company, Chicago. declared that the domestic valuation plans would destroy partially at least. the impor.- ir.s business because of the uncer- tainty which would follow its ap- piicatfon. He told the committees that the methods of determining value required by the bill meant that one mans opinions would establish the tariff rates. and so far as his firm was concerned, would mean that all appraisals would be appealed for settlement to custom boards or the courts.
 Embroidery importers, Thomas N. Nulane of New York representing l5 firm, declared woulc suffer ma terially from the lack of knowl edge as to what their American selling prices would be under the democratia plans of assessing duties.
 Hearings on the tariff will be side tracked by the committee temporarily tomorrow, while 1t considers further the subject of funding the allied debts. Chairman Penrose said he hoped to resume hearings on the tariff Friday.

 Cede Tariff Measure
By Associated Press

Washington, July 2T.-Legislative programmes of the next few weeks in the Senate and House were fairly well outlined today as a result ot conferences between President Hard- ing and a number of republican senators at a White House dinner last night.
 Administration plans, as disclosed by senators, call for passage by the House of the internal revenue bill and of several Senate bills by Au- gust 6. with view to recess or ad- journment of Congress soon after until late in September or early in October

 in the finance committee until after the tax measure is put through

 Other Features Other prominent features of the reported programme propose delay on the administration bills for refund- ing allied loans for funding rail- road debts.
 Senate bills slated for passage be- fore the proposed recess are the pend ing agricultural credits measure, the Wills Campbell anti-beer bill. the Capper- Tinher bill to regulate future trading in grain and, possibly the Borah bill to restore free tolls to American coast wise vessels using the Panama canal
 This slate was said to have been agreed on by the President and the I14 senators who met at the White House dinner which was held last night under arrangements for secrecy ordered personally by MT.
