De PRIEST PUSHES
VOTE ON CAFE BAN
Needs 81 Signatures to
Bring Bar Upon Race
to House Floor.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Representative De Priest, colored
Republican from Illinois, sought today
some 80 more names on his petition
to force a House vote on the race
issue of serving Negroes in the House
restaurant
The petition would discharge the
Rules Committee and carry to the
floor a resolution for an inquiry into
the barring of colored persons from
the restaurant
When the House adjourned yester-
day. De Priest had ia OF the neces-
sary las signatures to propel his reso-
luton to the floor. Before he started
lengthy speech he had only SO.
Il didn't inStigate this fight. but
So help me God. I'm going to finish
ii" said De Priest in asking for sig
natures.
Chairman Warren Of the Accounts
Committee has ordered that coloreo
persons unaccompanied by House
members be kept from the cafe. De
Priest contended the North Caroliniar
had acted arbitrarily and with
prejudice.
He told the House he was not seek
ing social equality for Negroes But
he did demand equally fair treatment
Of all loyal American citizens under
the dome Of the Capitol where the
laws of the Nation are drawn"
De Priest recoLnted his efforts to
obtain an investigation of Warren's
authority to bar his race from the
restaurant. He said the Rules Com
mittee has not even granted me the
courtesy of a hearing" on a resolu
ton for such an investigation.
Il have been here for a good many
years, an. never before was there any
such discrimination" lie Priest said
From what the othe!' members of the
Accounts Committee tell me, it seems
to be an arbitrary rule by one man.
"Oh, l appreciate how the people
down in North Carolina feel about it
but, gentlemen, North Carolina is not
the United States Of America.
I've been informed that if I press
this question it might hurt my help
fulness down here in Congress. If
didn't press it I would not come back
after the next election-the people
back in my district would repudiate
me-"
At another juncture he said:
Social equality is something that
comes about by an exchange Of visits
from home to home. and not by ap-
pearing in the same public dining
room"
When De Priest finished his speech
he went downstairs to the House res
taurant. with a woman nuest. and had
some refreshments. Warren and P
H. johnson, who manages the restau-
rant under the direction Of Warren's
Accounts Committee. had never re-
fused to serve De Priest or his guests
limiting the ban only 20 members OF
the colored race not accompanied by
a member.

in 28 brackets to SO per cent on those
exceeding $1,000000.

Hull and Morgenthau, the committee
voted. 8 to Z, to broaden the House
processing tax on coconut or sesame
oil TO include other vegetable oils
such as palm, palm kernel, whale,
sunflower and fish oils, but it reduced
the levy from to cents a pound.
These oils come from the Philip

TAX BILL DEBATE
TO Be PROLONGED
Committee Would Place
Higher Levies on Corpora
tionS and Estates. i
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Prolonged congressional considera-
ton of the quarter billion dollar in
come tax and general revenue measure
was certain today because of wide
alterations voted by the Senate FL
nance Committee.
Eventual approval Of some If not
all of the committee revisions appeared
probable. But in any event the bill
probably will have to be returned to
the House.
The general committee trend as
engineered by Chairman Harrison
would levy more taxes upon big cor
porations and estates and less upon
smaller incomes. He estimated the
revised bill would bring in around
$500, 600 600, as compared to the $685.
600, 900 House measure.
The Senate Committee approved
continuation of the one-tenth of l
per cent tax on the capital stock of
corporations, estimated to bring in
S95 .000, 900, and the per cent excess
profits tax. Both would have expired
July l, due to prohibition repeal.
Estate Taxes Increased.
1t extended 10 per cent credit on
earned incomes up to $4,000, as COM
pared to the House income tax pro-
vision of $1,000.
Estate taxes were increased to a
maximum of SO per cent as compared
with the present As, the raises ranging
from 46 per cent on estates valued
between $l,000,000 and sl,5OO 900 up
to so per cent on those valued at
above sl0,000,000.
An amendment by Senator La Fol-
lette to put the maximum at go per
cent and cut exemptions a half was
defeated.
The committee voted at the same
time to do away with the so-called
nuisance taxes on soft drinks.
clocks and cheap furs.
Chairman Harrison had expected to
extend this repeal to other of the
same types of levies, including the ad-
missions tax, but it was decided the
revenue was needed.
The committee eliminated a House
provision which would have cut in
half the deductions allowed for pay
| ment of taxes abroad. 1t restored in
stead the present law permitting de-
I elgn taxes.

$500 Farmers Spurn Wallace Plan to Dump MIX


PHILADELPHIA, April 8. - The
efforts of Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace to force through his new
milk destroying program was deci-
sively defeated here at the conclu-
sion of the six-day conference at
tended by over 1900 dairy farmers
from all over the state today.
His proposals to destroy 10 per
cent of the countrys milk supply
in order to raise prices and profits
of the league producers were swept
aside by the assembled farmers who
heard with great enthusiasm the at
tacks on Wallace's proposals made
by Lewis Bentley, militant farm
leader, and Bertha Marshall, farm
woman who spoke for the Joint
Committee Of Milk Drivers, Farm
ers and Consumers.

pose that funds now being used for

tributors here in Philadelphia were

administration consider a plan to
tax those profits? Why doesn't the

eliminate these profits instead Of
curtailing necessities from the
mouths of the millions of hungry,
starved and poorly fed consumers?
THE Joint Committee maintains
that there is no surplus of food
products. The A. A. A. admits this
when it points out that if the ma
ton were adequately fed there would
be a shortage of 100000 cows. It
