NORRIS PROPOSES
us. EXPORT AGENCY
GoVernment-Financed Firm
Would Buy and Sell
Surplus Products.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Creation Of Government financed
private corporation to buy and sell for
cash or credit large supplies Of do
mestic surplus farm products and in
dustrial machinery for export, prin-
cipally to Russia, was proposed to the
administration today by Senator Norris
Republican, Of Nebraska.
The veteran Nebraskan put the propo-
sition up to former Senator Brookhart
Farm Administration foreign trade ad-
wiser, at a time when a conference was
announced for later in the day at the
White House, probably bearing on the
same general subject.
Secretary Wallace, Assistant Secre-
taries Phillips of the State Department
and Dickinson of Commerce, and George
N. Peek, new chief of the administra-
tion's export trade division, we're called
to the Roosevelt parley.
Norris, in an interview following
Brookhart's visit to his Capitol Office
said there were great possibilities" in
the proposal he made to set up the
export corporation.
He said Russia was ready to take
large amounts of American foodstuffs
meats, cotton, lard, auto trucks, elec-
trical machinery and tools, but wanted
four or five years in which to pay for
such goods and also desired to send the
United States in exchange woodpulp
furs, manganese and other products.
Norris believed there was good
chance for reviving. enlarging and
passing an old bill of his providing for
a corporation to buy and sell surplus
farm products to all foreign countries
With the Government providing the
initial capital, the corporation, under
the enlarged idea, would be authorized
to buy farm and industrial commodities
for export. If the deals were on a
credit basis, he said. the contracts could
be used as security for issuance of addi-
tional bonds for sale to the public.
MY first bill years ago." Norris said
was defeated, chiefly through the in
fiuence of Herbert Hoover, then Secre-
tary of Commerce. There is talk OF
reviving that and enlarging it to permit
buying and selling Of machinery, pri-
marily for sale to Russia, but to any
country that wants it. Poland would
take some of our products now, too.
The r. F. c. could lend money to
the corporation It would be intended
to make a profit, but that is not the
object"

HUMPHREY CARRIES
HIS FIGHT TO COURT
Trade Commissioner Asserts
RoOSeveIt'S Removal Order
Was Illegal.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
William E. Humphrey today took to
the United States Court of Claims his
contention that President Roosevelt s
action in ordering him removed as a
member of the Federal Trade Commits
sion last October was illegal and void"
In a petition filed with the court
Humphrey, a Republican, demanded
from the United States s1,25l3s he
said was due him as his salary from
October to November 80.
Disclosing for the first time the full
correspondence between himself and
the President, Humphrey placed before
the court the transcript of four letters
from Mr.. Roosevelt. Two Of them re-
quested his resignation, a third ac-
cepted his resignation, although Hum
phrey contended none had been offered,
while a fourth contained only these
words:
Il am in receipt Of your letter of Sep
tember q. Effective as of this date
October y you are hereby removed
from the Office of commissioner Of the
Federal Trade Commission"
The controversy between the Presi-
dent and Humphrey, which already has
been picked up ss a political issue by
some Republicans and is certain to be
aired in the coming congressional ses-
sion, has been simmering either be-
meath the surface or in the open since
last July.
Would Not Give Up Post.
Humphrey refused to relinquish his
post even after the direct order from
Mr.. Roosevelt. Two days after receiv-
ing 1t he wrote to the Federal Trade
Commission:
Il refuse to recognize such order as
valid, or as being within the Presidents
rightful powers. 1 am convinced that
the order is without warrant of law
and Is inefectual. I am, therefore,
notifying you that I am still a mem
Der OF the Federal Trade Commission
and am ready and willing to exercise
the powers and functions of my said
Office"
On the same day, however, the COM
mission notified Humphrey that it had
voted to recognize the executive order
Of the President.
Humphrey based his case before the
court today on the contention that
Congress intended the commission to
be an independent semi judicial, non
political body, the members of which
would be independent of the will of the
President and subject to removal only
for causes stated In the statute. He
asserted his duties had been properly
performed and that no charges of any
kind had been presented against him,
either by the President or the Senate.
For IA years Republican Represen-
! tative from the State of Washington,
Humphrey was first appointed to the
commission by President Coolidge in
1925 and was reappointed by President
Hoover for a SiX-year term in 1881.
In his petition today he said he was
informed verbally last July the Presi-
dent desired his resignation and i'm
mediately wrote asking an interview.
He received the following letter from
the President:

REVISED BY ALLEN

qested Lower Sales Tax

District officials this afternoon were
making several changes in the pro-
posed District liquor control bill, all
said to be of minor nature. after con-
ferences with Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau and other Treasury Of
ficials.
The Commissioners had delayed send
ing the draft of their bill to Congress
pending the Federal conferences. after
receiving a call from the Treasury De-
partment.

officials were interested, among other
things, in the scale Of sales taxes and
license fees to be established in Wash
ington. Commissioner George E. Allen

however, that this question was not
raised.
Studies Lower Fees
Allen Is said to be studying possibilities
Of establishment of lower license fees
and sales taxes than were under con-
sideration when the bill was being
drafted. At that time the Commis-
sioner studied a plan for sales tax
Of sl10 a gallon for hard liquor and so
cents a gallon for wines. The original
proposals for license fees ranged from
spirits to $500 for retail establishments,
except for hotels, for which fee of
81 900 year was suggested.
The following statement was made by
Commissioner Allen after second visit
to the Treasury Department:
The Secretary Of the Treasury
who has direct supervision of the
Bureau of Industrial Alcohol, was only
interested in seeing that the Commits
Sioners' proposal was In coordination
me the benefit of some suggestions
which will clarity our proposal"
Clarification Is Urged.
Later it was explained that Treasury
officials had suggested clarifying the
wording of several sections of the bill
one dealing with a definite statement
on different processes of the manu-
facture of gin and another with the
question of use of alcohol in such
products as varnishes and heating con-
coctionS.
Shortly before noon there was con-
ference at the District Building between
Commissioner Allen and Capt. D.
Spencer Bliss of the Office of the COM
missioner of industrial alcohol, and
Edward G. Lowry Of the legal staff Of
the Federal Alcohol Control Board. Also
attending the conference were Corpora
