The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-03-29
By PAUL R. MAIlLON al A A


 Washington, March 29.-(UP)- Conservative democrats led by John N. Garner speaking from the floor on behalf of a "balanced bud- get" planned to force their new tax program through the house SO quickly today that opposition would be dazed and Host prestige" would be restored.
 The program was completed in a special four-hour session of the ragon subcommittee last night. It hinges, 1t is understood, on heavy auto, radio and luxury taxes, in- creased postage, and stock trans- fer taxes, and tax on power.
 The democrats carefully devised and concealed program for making up $500,000,000 of lost sales tax revenue was to be presented to the house before night.
 As soon as 1t is presented, Speaker Garner in his first speech from the floor this session will de. mand fast action. A drive will be organized to force 1t through im- mediately.
 Acting Chairman Crisp of the ways and means committee hoped action might be secured before those hit by the ifew taxes had a

Detroit, March 2S = The new Ford v-s will be shown to the public of 200 cities ip the United States and Canada Thursday, March 31.
 Announcement of the date, made today by Edsei B. Ford, president of the Ford Motor Company, brought to a continuation months of preparation on the part of the Ford organization, which is giving employment to 100000 Ford work men.
 Ford manufacturing and as- sembly plants are supplied by B. 300 other manufacturing plants throughout the country.
 One of the chief factors in the Ford announcement Is the confl- dence shown by Henry and Edsel Ford, that Q measure of business revival Is possible to the country at this time.
 "We know exactly what the car will do," Mir Ford said. "One of our objective has been to develop an eight cylinder engine with plen- ty of horsepower and yet so sim simply designed that its simplicity will be as much q feature as its sped and power. That enables us to build and sell 1t at a price to fit the average present American pocket I'll say candidly we have quit figuring costs on the car. The more you figure costs. the higher the price goes. and this .s no time for high prices. Time and money have not entered into our calculations. We have believed 1t our duty to do everything neces- sary to start employment again. Now we are ready to go ahead Next Thursday the country may judge our work.
 'In addition to our eight cylinder car of 65 horsepower. We are of- fering Q new four cylinder car of 50, horsepower. Either may be had in 14 different body types. Ex- cept for the engines, there is but little difference between the two cars. Bodies and chassis are prac- tically the same. There. will be, however, u difference in price. For while the V-s will sell at low-price field figures, the '4' will sell for still less. That Is our conception of expendlng service to the motor- ing public, particularly in the face of present economic conditions"
 Simultaneously with the an- nouncement of the presentation date, the Ford Motor Company made public the following details:
 The new Ford is large, long, roomy, fast. powerful and alert. It's V-S engine develops 65 brake horsepower.
 The new Ford v-s is capable of 75 miles an hour.
 Fourteen body types of modern, streamline design are offered. The four cylinder engine, developing 50 horsepower and capable of 85 miles an hour, also can be supplied with any of these body types at @ lower price.
 The new car embodies a number of outstanding features including silent synchronized gear shift and silent gear. engine rubber mounted. down draft carburetor and cvarburetor silencer, automa- tic spark control. and diaphragm type pump which drives fuel from Q tank in the rear. There are also soft, flexible transverse cantilever springs and a newly designed rear spring; self-adjusting Houdaille double-actlng hydraulic shock ab. sorbers, large four wheel brakes. newly designed electrically welded steel-spoke wheels with large hubs and hub caps and large tires. The chassis and running gear are cushioned by rubber insulators in tho spring shackles and shock aL.

Speaker Garner And Democrats Of House
 Plan New Tax Bill
They Propose to Rush Bill Through Before Opponents
 Can Get Set and Thus Balance the Budget

chance to deluge the house with objections.
 Tt is my desire," he said, "to bring the substitutes before the house as quickly as possible and to take them up before we are flooded with telegrams from those affected"
 Whether the plan would work was Q matter for speculation. At any rate, the ways and means com mittee was called into special ses- sion this morning to start the ball rolling.
 The plan was understood to in- clude 0 five per cent levy on auto- mobile sales and seven per cent on electricity and 0 three-cent postage rate among other items.
 These taxes brought a storm of protests when originally proposed by the treasury.
 Two items in the program were disclosed. The committee an- nounced 1t had drafted an increas- ed levy on stock exchange trans- actions with the assistance of rep. resentatives of the New York stock Exchange and the New York Fed erai Reserve bank. It also decided to eliminate the consolidated in- como tax provision under which corporations now balance profits of one affiliate or subsidiary against losses of another. This charge would require 6 tax to be paid on all profits and should yield from $s0, 100000 to $100,000,000.
 By acting swiftly, the democrats hoped to regain "lost prestige" and meet such arguments as that ad- vanced over the radio last night by Representative Will Wood, repub. lican, Ind, chairman of the repub- lican congressional campaign com. mittee.
 Wood contended the democratic leadership had shown itself niade- quate in the tax fight. They have demonstrated they are unable to govern themselves, and therefore 1t stands to reason they cannot be expected to govern the country" he said, in what apparently Is to be Q republican campaign cry.
 The house appeared to bs in a good mood for any new tax plan. It showed Q disposition throughout yesterday to follow It's leaders.
 Representative LaGuardia, re- publican, N. r., who has had the leaders on the run for two weeks, was defeated 123 to IS when he tried to provide publicity for in- come tax returns. A movement by Representative Patman, demo- crat, Tex, to retain the income tax exemptions of existing law was was beaten 94 to 6. Both these proposals were vigorously opposed by the harassed leaders.
 The dramatic role in the new tax drive was assigned to Garner. Since elected speaker he has made no speeches on the floor.
 During the tax debate, he has even been silent generally off the floor. He issued two statements last week, merely urging that the budget be balanced and indicating he did not care how it was done.
 The Texan for many years was floor leader in the house. He is generally regarded as the best rough and tumble debater the house has seen in many years. No republican was a match for him even in the days when he was leading in minority.
 Therefore the party followers ex- pect great things from his first ap- pearance. They believe he can solidify the democrats behind the new program.

A Wet-py Problem

Perhaps the biggest problem of all is to organize a general staff which can keep the normal party support in line on prohibition.
 In New York, for instance, the organized drys are taking steps already to put on the ballot an independent slate of Presidential electors.
 There is food for thought in this, particularly when it is re- called that four years ago, with the active support of the organized drys, MT. Hoover carried New York just by an eyelash.
