POLITICIANS SEE
HIGH PRESSURE
NEED To WIN
Opponents Forcing Issue BY
Demanding That Hearings
Be Opened Up Wide
international News Service

Conviction was growing today
among w S hington politicians
that if President Roosevelt badly
wants adoption of his "soak-the'
saving.tax" program at this ses.
sion-and he has said publicly he
does-it will be necessary for the
Administration to resort to heroic
Strategems on Capitol Hill.
The line of opposition counter
attack is becoming increasingly
apparent. Already, those who
would be affected adversely by a
boost in corporation, inheritance,
and big-income taxes have started
the ball rolling to open up the
whole tax structure for revision.
Hearings Group Deluged
The House Ways and Means
Committee has been deluged with
demands for a hearing when con-
Sideration OF the Roosevelt pro-
gram opens week from today.
Before the hearings are many
hours old a persistent drive will
be under way to write in tariff
taxes, tack on the soldiers bonus,
etc.
Mr.. Roosevelt anticipated this
when he had Senator Pat Harri-
son CD Mississippi, chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee,
announce that the White House
wanted its proposals considered
"as is" and neither confused nor
delayed by the opening up of any
other tax schedules.
Limitation Always Difficult
Veterans of past tax fights in
Congress point out, however, that
it is always difficult to attempt
limited revision. Inevitably, spe-
cial and sectional interests from
Congressional blocs and combines
to open up the whole tax system.
If, as anticipated, this proves to
be the case in the next few weeks
the President will be confronted
with an increasing demand from
Congress that the whole question
go over until next session-the
House Ways and Means Commit.
tee undertaking a more deliberate
draft of a bill during the interim
Washington heat is boiling the
mercury up into the nineties these
days and a hot and weary Con
gress wants to go home.
Practical politicians handling
Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign for re.
election would be just as well
pleased if the issue does go over
provided, of course, that the re-
Sponsibility doesn't fall on the
White House in any way.

Legality Question
Although praising the objective
of the amendment, Chairman
Rayburn CD of Texas, of the
Commerce Committee, questioned
it's legality.
Another amendment by Repre-.
sentative Wadsworth (R) of New
York, which would have given the
Federal Power Com 81 o n
authority to supervise holding

the SEC, was withdrawn.
Republicans opened the on
slaught against approval of disso-
luton.
Representative Cooper, of Ohio,
minority leader of the committee,
said passage of the bill with the
death sentence would sound the
death knell of private ownership
and would force Government own
ership.
He quoted from an address by
President Roosevelt when he was
governor of New York in 1880 as
urging State regulation of public
utilities and assailing the idea that
master minds" of the Federal
Government could regulate them
better than the States. He said:
"In these words the President
attacked most viciOuSly the
policy being urged in this House

With House Democrats showing
signs of unrest, the influence Of
President Roosevelt will be put to

LAGUARD|A !:
REFUSED
Brooklyn Tammanyite Fails
to Win Court Approval for
FERA Job Action

NEW YORK. July 1 G.N.S).
An attempt to remove New York's
stocky Fusion mayor from office
Topped today on the eve of what
is limited will be another Seabury
investigation"
just before noon today, Supreme
Court Justice Salvatore A. Gothic
decided against a taxpayers suit
to GUST Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuar-
dia on the grounds he was hold
ing two offices in violation of the
city charter.
Second Victory
The suit, brought by Bennett F..
Aron, Brooklyn attorney and for
mer deputy police commissioner,
alleged that LaGuardia, by accept
ing a post on the Federal Works.
Relief Advisory Allotments Com
mittee, violated provision of the
city charter which strictly forbids
any city officer to hold a State or
Federal job, even without pay.
Political observers regarded the
decision as the second smashing
blow against Tammany, LaGuar.
dia's bitter enemy, in less than a
week.
It followed on the heels Of a
demand by Governor Lehman for
appointment of Thomas E. Dewey,
Republican, as a special prose-
cutor to conduct an investigation
into vice and racketeering in New
York city.
Lehman's demand was made on
Democratic District Attorney Will
liam Dodge, who was pointedly re-
quested to give the special prose
cutor free reign in his probe.
In defending the mayor, Cor
poration Counsel Windels con-
tended LaGuardia's job with the
advisory allotments committee
was an advisory and not an ad-
ministrative one; furthermore,
the mayor had not taken a Fed
eral oath of office.
Tammany Satisfied
Justice CotillO'S 18-page opinion
upheld this view in spite of
Aron's arguments that LaGuar-
dia's position paralleled that of
Murray Hubert, now a Federal
judge, who was removed as alder
manic president in the Hylan ad-
ministration because he accepted
an honorary job as a member of
the governors Finger Lakes com.
mission.
Aron declared he would appeal
the decision.
In spite of the fact that a deci.
sion against LaGuardia would
have thrown the city government
back into Tammany's hands,
pending a special election for a
new mayor, Tiger leaders eX'
pressed relief at the way the suit
came out.
LaGuardia would have assumed
the role of martyr if he had lost,
they reasoned, and might have
been reelected. Now, they claim,
they will blister him at the next
regular election.
Political circles, recalling the
national significance of the Sea-
bury investigation, which spelled
the doom of Mayor Jimmy
Walker and Tammany and thrust
Franklin D. Roosevelt, then gov.
ernor, into the national spot,
light, are anxiously waiting def.
mite word from Dodge and the
youthful Dewey on the governor
orders.

The pig jerkcd to a sudden stop and Duncy almost took q Hop. Come on," exclaimed the farmer. Now, somebody else can go?
 
 And so they all rode round q while, until wee Scouty, with q smile, said, "Aw, that is too tame for mo. I want something that's hard
 Just walt" he heard the farmer say. "IIi bring my trained mule, right way. If you think you are pretty good, just ride him round the yard."
 Wee Scouty proved that he was game, and then f. very big thrill came that made the other Tinies roar. "Hang on real tight" cried one.
 The mule was tossing Scouty round. and almost hopped him 10 the ground. The lad, however, hung on, and exclaimed, "Whee. This is fun"

 Course Duncy was a happy lad. TWould make most any young ster glad to ride round in a little cart and have a lot of fun.
 The pig that pulled him squealed aloud, which tickled all the Tiny crowd. Wee Goldy shouted, Look at that old funny porker run.
 'tHe's just as fat as he can be and, honestly, ] cannot gee how he can make such good speed, when he's pulling that small cart.
 '"The farmer has him trained real well. No wonder Duncy thinks fts swell. l wish I owned the pig. 1 know with him I'd never part"
 Then the old farmer shouted, Say, why not all have some fun today? I'll make my pet pig stop and then each one can take a turn.
 Ride all around the yard, just once, and don't try any funny stunts. If any Tinymites waB hurt, 'twould give me much concern"
 Tho TinymiteB agreed that they would do just as they heard him say. Then Duncy, who had had enough, yelled very loudly. Whoa"
