u. S. TO STAND PAT
WITH WHEAT LEVY
Will Go Ahead With Plan Despite
Recent Gains in Grain
Prices.

BIZ the Associated Press.
Administrators of the farm act plan
to levy a 30-cent-a-bushel processing
tax on wheat, despite the recent sharp
rise in grain prices.
The administrators intend making an
announcement either late today or to-
morrow and hope to go ahead with
their original arrangement of fixing the
wheat levy at a minimum Of 80 cents,
to 60 into effect early next month,
probably July 8.
They have authority to impose
processing tax on wheat used in milling
-four and manufacturing other food
products for human consumption, equal
to the difference between the current
farm price" and the party price
based on pre-war farm prices.
On the basis of price relationships
early In June, administrators could levy
q tax Of 80 cents bushel Wheat
acreage plans announced by Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace were predicated
IN part on an expectation of tax OF
this amount 10 finance that program.
The rise in wheat prices has mar
rowed the gap between current ana
pre-war average farm prices. Ii Inns
is recognized it would cut the tax rate
substantially.
There is no provision in the farm
act in the opinion OF administrators.
however. which requires Wallace to use
the price relationships of the last week
or two weeks before the tax goes into
effect Instead he can use averages
for six months or any other period if
he desires, they believe.
II was learned that the announce
ment Of the tax may avoid any refer
ence TO a specific period on which the
current and pre-war parity prices are
based.

10000 VETERANS
TO GET INCREASES
Bureau Hopes to Make More
Liberal Payments at
Early Date.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A general review of upward Of 3o0,-
900 cases of veterans allowed compen-
sation claims was announced today by
the Veterans Administration.
The administration took the action
as step toward carrying out the COM
promise enacted in the closing hours OF
Congress, whose purpose was to lib
eralize previous presidential regulations
for veterans slashes.
In a bulletin the Veterans Admins
tration said it hoped to complete the
work in time to make the more liberal
payments in a comparatively short
while.
Officials estimated that of the $685.
900 cases involved, approximately 40
per cent had been reviewed but that
virtually all would have to be restudied
in the light of the liberalization.
They estimated the compromise law
reduced by se6,oO0,00o the savings in
veterans payments contemplated origi-
nally under the economy act.
To handle the so-called presumptive
cases-involving veterans whose all
ments were presumed under prior laws
to have originated in service-it is
planned to have special boards set up
early in July for each of the so regional
Offices of the Veterans Administration.
Boards to Study Cases.
The administration said:
'These special boards will determine
on all available evidence the questions
whether service connection will be
granted, resolving all reasonable doubt
in favor of the veteran. The burden of
proof in such cases is upon the Gov
ernment.

Conference Awaits
Moley's Arriv al
There Tonight.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 27.-The World
Economic Conference this morn
ing was in the throes of fresh
dramatic development precipi-
tated by the unexpected action of
gold bloc countries in trying to
force European monetary stabili-
zation irrespective of American
desires or what happens to the
American dollar.
Representatives of the central
banks of France, Switzerland,
Holland and Belgium met secretly
to perfect plans which involve
forcing Great Britain to stabilize
along with continental countries.
From this meeting came a
declaration by one of the con-
ferees that gold would be de-
Tended to the last ditch.
Challenge to U. S.
Many observers expressed the opinion
that this scheme is, in effect, chal
lenge to President Roosevelt's price
raising program, which the gold bloc
members maintained would force a de-
probation of their currencies and would
be disastrous.
The bankers decided this morning to
ask the Bank of England to make a
declaration to the effect that it would
not be In Great Britains interest to see
continental currencies deprecated.
Great Britain was understood in well
informed quarters this evening to have
refused to commit herself to the new
scheme.
In responsible British circles this
move was described as an effort to split
England and America, SO that they
would be unable to deal independently
on stahilization.
Fnglsnd, it was stated, wants to keep
her hands free so that she can deal
directly with America on stabilization
when the proper time comes.
Britain's position at the moment,
therefore, is that she is sitting tight.
Meanwhile, geld bloc bankers were
meeting again late in the day to con-
slider what new move they could make
TO force stabilization.
Not Ready for Gold Yet.
The latter was faced with the al
Tentative of joining to maintain the
present level of currencies and helping
to keep France and other gold-stand-
ard countries on that basis, or of de-
eiding to form an Anglo American
monetary alliance and continue with

Cotton Magnate Says Agreement

Child Labor in Mills.

The American Federation OF Labor
cast its opposition against the code
proposed by the textile industry for
minimum wages and maximum working
hours in the mills of North and South,
with the opening of hearings today on
the first of the many codes to be pro-
posed under the industrial control act.
Through several hours in the crowded
auditorium of the Department of Com
merce, textile spokesmen had upheld
the code for 40-hour work week and
minimum weekly compensation of slu
in the South and s11 in the North.
More than two-thirds OF the industry
agreed to 1t, and if approved by the
Roosevelt administration it will become
law. Those of the industry dissatisfied
have yet to be heard
In time set aside for him in the
afternoon, William Green. president of
the American Federation of Labor. was
prepared to suggest a maximum Of 80
hours week and 30 as even more de-
srable. He told reporters that a sI4.40
! weekly minimum wage would be too
low.
Employment of 100000.
George A. Sloan, president of the Cot
ton Textile Institute, estimated in his
testimony that employment of 100 900
now idle would result from the code as
presented.
Once it takes effect, he said, child
labor would be thing of the past
within two or three months.
Robert Amory of Boston, leader
among cotton manufacturers, explained
that two-thirds of the industry backed
the code. He went on to say that of the
remaining third, q number hesitated
because they were not entirely familiar
tlons to the wage differential between
the North and the South-which is Sl1
In the former and $40 In the latter.
and some few wanted to run three 40
hour shifts weekly instead Of the two
shifts provided.
Getting the significant hearings un-
der way, Hugh 8. johnson, as admins
traitor OF the law, appealed quietly for
cooperation and was applauded by
both well-dressed industrial leaders
and shirt-sleeved men Of labor, who fol-
lowed the proceedings avidly.

cotton mills to manufacture the fabrics
they hitherto had bought. He also
mentioned specifically the firm of
johnson & johnson, which, he said,
had built its-own mill for the manu-
facture of fabric bandages.

Kahn Testihes.

Otto H. Kahn, New York financier
and art patron, expressed the hope ear
lier in the hearing that "cut-throat'
competition among American bankers
for financing industrial enterprises had
ended because 1t was detrimental to
the public"
The senior partner in Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. said it was customary for bankers
to keep hands off a concern whose
financing was done by another bank
THAT is very much in the spirit OF
the code the National Legislature has
now adopted to regulate business OF all
kinds" Kahn testified.
Hopes Competition Improves.
"In other words" he added, instead
Of cut-throat competition, it is not in
the interest of the public to have
dozens of American bankers sitting in
European and Central American States
outbidding each other foolishly to the
detriment Of the public.
That kind of competition I hope Is
ended. We have always endeavored to
observe the rules of fair competition"
Kahn, native of Germany, told the
committee the chief business of his
concern was with corporations. He sat
/ in his chair sideways and talked in a
distinct dialect under questioning by
Ferdinand Pecora, committee counsel.
Two partners, George w. Bovenizer
and Benjamin j. Buttenwieser, later will
take the witness stand.
Further down were facts bearing on
income taxes and document after docu-
ment dealing with Kuhn, Loeb & Co.. S
f1otation of securities.
Evidence Guarded Closely.
Pecora announced the present inquiry
would deal chiefly with domestic stock
and bond issues and that he was leav-
ing for the Fall study Of foreign
financing not only by Kuhn, Loeb, but
by Morgan and others
There was an atmosphere Of suspense
about the opening of the inquiry be-
cause of the secrecy with which the
investigators have guarded their evil
dence. They said, however, that there
were no lists of selected clients like
those that figured so prominently in the
Morgan case, because Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
hoated issues only through other houses.
