'SOAK-THR|FTY'
TAX PUSHED BY
PRESIDENT
"FuII Speed Ahead" Ordered
in Senate; Hearings to
Open Next Week
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt has ordered
full speed ahead on the soak
the-thrifty" tax program, and
hearings will commence in the
Senate Finance Committee next
week.
Senator Pat Harrison, Of Mis-
SiSSippi, chairman of the COM
mittee, conferred at length with
President Roosevelt today in a
strenuous endeavor to arrange a
program which will enact by Au.
gust at the latest, the three
main proposals outlined by Presi.
dent Roosevelt in his recent mes
sage to Congress. These are
increases in taxes on inheritances
and on large estate and gifts, and
rearrangement Of the tax rates
on corporation income.
Senate Speeds Action
Although the Constitution pre-
|scribes that revenue measures
must originate in the House, the
Senate Finance Committee is 60
ing to take the first step in this
revolutionary tax matter, but the
Senate will wait for the House to
complete its hearings and it's vote
before debating the new taxes
and, in this way, will follow the
constitutional precedents.
Chairman Harrison today ex-
pressed the personal opinion that
the figure of $40 million dollars
which has been published as the
amount which the Administration
wishes to collect under these new
taxes is too high. He expressed
the personal view that high rates
in the upper brackets do not pro-
duce the amount of money they
are expected to produce.
Delays Opposed
After leaving the President,
Chairman Harrison said that the
President hopes that the tax legis-
lation will not be delayed and
that the new tax bill will include
only the subjects mentioned in
his message.
It is evident that the Admins
tration will do everything in its
power to prevent a general re-
vision of all taxes at this time.
Chairman Harrison said Treas
ury experts are preparing data on
which the hearings will be based
and he gave the impression that
the rates and other tax figures
which heretofore have been pub
lished may not be used at all.
To get to work early next week,
the Senate Finance Committee
will meet with a committee of the
House tomorrow afternoon in an
effort to compose the differences
on the Social Security bill which
has passed both Houses in differ
ent forms.

Powerful Lobby at Work on
"HiI";; Roosevelt Denies
"Death Sentence" Attack
International News Service

Proponents of the Administra-
tion's utility bill today sought an
alliance with House farm mem
bers to support President Roose-
velt's fight for enactment OF the
holding company death SEN
tence."
With the vote on the contro-
versial provision scheduled for
Monday, foes OF private utilities
promised to press for passage OF
the Frazier -Lemke farm mortgage
refinancing bill in return for IA
vorable votes on dissolution OF
holding companies.
The Frazier-Lemke bill, which
authorizes three billion dollars in
new currency, is opposed by the
Administration. A petition to
bring it to the floor for action
lacks only handful OF the re-
Quired PIT signatures.
Flags Power Lobby
House leaders privately expressed
opposition to any political ALI
ance between supporters Of the
death sentence" and the agra
rian bloc because of hostility to
the farm mortgage proposal.
This move followed President
Roosevelts action in throwing his
unqualified support behind the
death sentence" plan and in
flaying the utility lobby fighting
the measure as the most powerful
and dangerous lobby ever created
by any organization.
He described the organized
labor lobby as child compared
with the utility lobby and the
American Legion lobby as a mere
infant compared with it.
Telling newspaper men at his
press conference that he was
keener than ever for the Senate
bill, to abolish big holding COM
panies. he took exception to the
description of it as a death SEN
tence."
Over Till Monday
He said the fact was that the
stockholders Of the big holding
companies were under a death
sentence now and that the bill
would give them a chance to live.
Representative Rankin CD of
Mississippi, self-styled foe Of the
Power trust" announced that on
the basis of a private poll the
death sentence" would win in the
House by a 28-vote majority.
Although general debate was
concluded on the bill yesterday,
leaders consented to an additional
two-hour discussion on the death
sentence" Monday.
