HOUSE LEADERS
MUST TAKE|T
ORLEAVE|T
Roosevelt Won't Compromise
on PresumptiVe Clause, He
Makes 1t Clear

President Roosevelt will make
q definite and final proposal to
Congress this afternoon on the
question Of liberalization Of vet
erans' payments.
The special House committee
representing the steering and vet
erans committee visits the White
House shortly after noon and the
President will make public his po-
sition-and it will be a "take it
or leave it" affair.
According to the White House,
there is no thought of compro-
mise by Mr.. Roosevelt, and never
has been. The President is stand
ing firm for the principle that
veterans suffering from ailments
contracted after the war and hav-
ing no connection with the con-
flict should not be given COM
penSation.
Fights Amendment
The Executive, it was reported,
Is prepared to fight to the last
ditch against the Connally Senate
amendment unless the "presump-
tive clause" is removed. This por-
tion Of the amendment declares
that any disabilities incurred up
to six years after the war are
presumed to be traceable to the
conflict.
It was expected that Mr.. Roose-
Velt would demand that Congress
remove the presumptive clause
and replace it with one awarding
compensation wherever "a reason
able doubt" existed.
He has made it clear during the
past four days that he is willing
to give any veteran the benefit of
the doubt, but he is unalterably
opposed to legislation which would
restore 100000 non-service con-
nected cases to the rolls at the
continued expense of the taxpayer.
Demands New Taxes
II Congress passes such legisla-
tion in spite Of his objections he
will insist that new taxes be i'm
posed to raise revenue to offset it.
II such taxation is not forthcom-
ing, he will keep Congress in ses-
sion "all summer if necessary"
Representative Byrns of Ten
neSee, Democratic House leader,
after a meeting of the Democratic
Steering Committee and before
resumption of White House con-
ferences, said he believed the diff
ferenceS between Congress and
the President are near a settle
ment. He said:
~ think the President has
made some fine concessions"
ByrnS said the Presidents con-
ceSSion on the presumptive class
Of World War veterans, totaling
100000 cases, is satisfactory to
the House. Under the Presidents
proposal they would remain on
the Veterans Bureau rolls and
would be removed only after in
dividual cases are considered and
the Government proves beyond
a reasonable doubt their cases
are not connected with the Serv-
ice.

termine whether its financial
structure has cost the Govern
ment taxes during the last II
years.
The issue at stake was whether
the House of Morgan actually
constitutes a partnership in view
of the autocratic power given
Morgan by the articles of part
nership.
This inquiry was started by
the Bureau of Internal Revenue
last week. It now has been taken
over by the Department Of JUS
tice.
The resolution authorizing a
tax probe gives the investigating
committee the most sweeping pow
ers ever conferred by the Senate.
Get Wide Authority
It directed that the committee
"shall have authority to investi-
gate any transactions or activities
relating to any sale, exchange,

It directed further that "such
investigation shall be made with
view to recommending necessary
legislation under the taxing power

White House Is Silent
On Divorce Report

Little surprise was occasioned
in circles close to the White House
today by publication of circum
stantial stories from the West
Coast that Elliott Roosevelt, sec.
ond son of the President, and his
young wife had come to a parting
of the ways.
Confirmation here was impossi.
BILE, as the White House treated
the matter as a family affair
and would not discuss it, although
Miss Malvina Thompson, secretary
to Mrs. Roosevelt, denied that the
First Lady'S hurried airplane trip
to Los Angeles had been prompted
by a desire to headoff any public
rift in her sons marital relations.
Was Openly RumOred
It was openly rumored, however,
at the time Elliott went West
shortly after Inauguration to seek
his fortune and left his wife,
Betty, and their infant child be-
hind that an unofficial separation
had transpired.
Since that time young Mrs.
Roosevelt and her baby boy have
been frequent guests at the White
House and plans have been made
for her to spend the summer at
Campbello, the Roosevelt camp in
Nova Scotia, toward which the
President is headed within the
next 10 days for a vacation.
-- Regarded as 'TmpetuOus"
Elliott, who is in his twenty
third year, has always been re-
garded by friends of the RooSe-
Velts as the "impetuouS" member
of the family. Since leaving col
lege he has tried his hand at va
rious activities, each time becom-
ing discouraged because he felt
an effort was being made to "use"
his name
Just before heading West. he
turned down an offer of $4,000 a
year because he felt it was OBJ
vious that one of his years was
not worth that sum on ability
alone.

Senate Votes Funds to Push
Morgan Tax Inquiry

intention to investigate the in.
come taxes Of their partners. It
was apparent the Morgan part
ners would resort to constitu-
tional objections, refuse to an
swer questions about their stock
deals or taxes, and then fight
the Senate inquiry in the Federal
courts.
This, at least, was the advice
of their counsel, John w. Davis,
Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent in 1924, who insists the
Senate has no power to investi-
gate income taxes.
Ferdinand Pecora, special Sen
ate counsel, was ready to probe
a series of stock deals by La
mont, Ewing, and Stanley, by
which they succeeded in reducing
their income taxes in recent
years.
The story of creation of Nor
gan's railroad empire was drawn
today from Oris P. Van Sweringen,
one of the brothers who built an
18,000-mile rail system ION a
shoestring." He gave further de-
tails about his own activities in
creating holding companies to
avoid Federal taxes when he
merged various carriers into a
giant system.
Avoided Tax on $13,OOO,OOO
Van Sweringen described how
he legally avoided a Federal tax
on a stock profit of more than
$13,000,000. The stock was pur-
chased by his personal company,
the Van Ess Company, and later
transferred to the Chesapeake
Corporation through a third hold
ing concern, General Securities
Company.
The three companies merely ex-
changed stock. In the end, the
Chesapeake Corporation owned
the stock but the Van Ess Com
pany paid no taxes on the sale
even though the market value had
materially increased from the time
it bought the stock.
The Allegheny Corporation
finally was organized with the
financial aid of j. P. Morgan,
to acquire all the Van Sweringen
properties. This was the medium
by which Morgan became a rail
road emperor.
Van Sweringen recited a long
list Of financial deals between
the Van Ess Co., and Morgan.
He gave a picture of his or
ganization needing money and
Morgan having it. In the end
Morgan had control of his rail-
road system.
Tells of Missouri Deal
Van Sweringen told of the
latest acquisition of his network,
the Missouri Pacific railroad. He
said the Allegheny Corporation
swallowed up this railroad be-
cause it was considered "the
choice in that area"
The securities were bought
through the brokerage house of
Payne Webber in New York,
except for $619,695 Van Sweringen
said. Earlier testimony has dis
closed large payments to this
firm by the Van SweringenS.

FOR WINE
SOUNDED BY
DRY CHIEF
Prohibition Director Urges
10 Per Cent Content Upon
House Committee

Declaring that 80 per cent beer
has reduced drunkenness in the
nation and urging legalization of
wine, Major A. V. Dalrymple,
prohibition director, told the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee today that re is opposed
to repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
Appearing as the first witness
at the hearing on the Lea wine
bill, Dalrymple said that modifica-
ton of bone dry prohibition, in
Guiding relaxation of medicinal
liquor laws, will go far toward re-
storing respect for law.
Millions In Revenue
The opposition of the admin
istration's prohibition chief to re-
peal while President Roosevelt
favors it came as shock to the
committee. Asked by Rer -senta-
tive Mccormack CD of Mass
achusetts, how much additional
taxes the Government would gain
with repeal Dalrymple replied:
II am unalterably opposed .
actual repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment. 1 favor libe eliza
ton. 1 didn't mean to say this
but advocated it 13 years ago
and might as well tell it and
get it off my chest.
81 am not convinced that re-
peal will actually increase
revenue.
II have estimated that under
the present modification system
If we can drive the racketeerS
out of business-the revenue
will run over $25O,OO0,OOO as
things stand today. If this
wine bill is passed it will go
$5O,OOO,OOO to $1OO,OOO,OOO
higher"
His statements brought a re.
joinder from Rep resentative
Ragon CD of Arkansas, for years
a dry, who said:
Il think it is apparent that
the Eighteenth amendment will
be repealed despite what you
and 1 think about it,"
Under the Lea bill naturally
fermented wines estimated to run
as high as 10 per cent alcohol by
volume, would be legalized. The
stronger, or sweeter, wines would
still be prohibited. Only 80 per
cent alcohol wines are legal now
SpeakieS On Run
Dalrymple added:
"My observation as director
of prohibition leads me to be-
lieve that passage Of this bill
providing there is some limit on
the alcoholic content and no
fortified wines can be sold
will have a wholesome effect
on enforcement of the VOlStead
law and its modification.
1--WE know that the sale Of
3.2 per cent beer has reduced
bOotIegging, cut the importation
of hard liquor, and is driving
out the speakeaSieS."

SEN. REED SEES
WORKS PLAN
AS INSANE
Pennsylvania Republican in
Floor Speech AsSaiIs
License Authority

In an attack on the Admins
tration's industrial control and
$3,300,000,000 public works bill,
Senator Reed (R0 Of Pennsyl-
vania today told the Senate:
81 think the plan is an in
sane one that is going to de-
troy industry"
He declared it would mean
Governmental price-fixing.
Licenses Attacked
Reed centered his fire on the
provision authorizing the Presl-
dent to require Federal licenses
from all the industries in a trade
group. He said:
The licensing power extends
from the great motor car and
steel industries down to the
business of running pushcart.
The President can establish,
if he wishes, a code of fair COM
petition for running a push
cart"
Failure of the bill to provide
uniform minimum wages apply
ing nationally within each trade
group caused Reed to say:
"It leaves us in a beautiful
haze regarding the wage queS-
tiOn."
WAGNER TO DEFENSE
Senator Wagner CD of New
York, leading the Administration
fight for the bill, declared mini
mum wage standards are neces-
" to protect industry from
ruthless sweatshop competition.
He said:
Zone of the reasons we are
dragged down where we are
now is on account of the
SweatShOps."
Reed replied:
"Under a lot of beautiful
phrases in this bill are couched
tremendous powers. 1t means
fixing prices, appOrtiOning out
put and setting up again
within every industry the
secret pools that we have been
fighting for so long.
eve drove these pools out.
Now we propose to restore
them with Presidential sane
tiOn."
OTHERS CRITICAL
After Reed had finished telling
the Senate how the bill would
destroy industry" Senator Long
CD of Louisiana declared:
'1t will ruin labor"
Joining with Long, Senator
Hatfield (R) of West Virginia
asserted:
"The bill would natiOnalize
labor and destroy collective
bargaining"
Senator Wheeler (D.) of Mon
tana revealed that he plans to
vote for the bill but at the same
time criticized some of its pro-
visions.
