The ups and downs OF President
Roosevelt's "share-the- wealth" tax
program during the last eight days
have left members Of Congress and
the rest Of official Washington some
what dizzy. The record is as follows:
The President sent his surprise
tax message to Congress on the after
noon of June 10 recommending new
taxes.
Democratic leaders, among them
Senator Harrison, chairman Of the
Senate Finance Committee. expressed
the opinion almost Immediately that
the President did not ask or expect
action on the tax program at the
present session. Speaker Byrns of
the House, while he said that he be-
lieved the tax program should be
passed at the present session. also
expressed the opinion that it had not
been included in the Presidents list
of must" legislation
Progressives Take Action.
BY Friday of last week, however, the
Progressives in the Senate, at the re-
quest of Senator La Toilette of Wis
consin, signed round robin" de-
manding that the tax program be put
through Congress before adjournment
was taken this Summer. Twenty-Five
signatures, including Republicans,
Democrats and Progressives, were af-
fixed to the document, which pledged
these Senators to fight against ad-
journment before tax legislation was
completed.
Senator Huey P. Long of Louisiana,
whose share-the-wealth' program
had been defeated in the Senate only
a few days before, on Saturday wrote
the President long letter asking just
what he meant to do about sharing
the wealth" and complaining that the
word had gone out nothing would be
done at the present session. He fol-
lowed 1t up with speech on the floor
charging that the President was merely
making a political gesture in an effort
to kill Long politically.
Senator Robinson, Democratic lead
er of the Senate, on Saturday made a
statement to the press saying that he
personally favored having Congress
pass the Presidents tax legislation
before adjourning. Speaker Byrns at
the same time made q similar state
ment, although he declined to predict
that a tax measure would be drafted
and passed at the present session.
Borah Backs President.
On Sunday Senator Borah of Idaho
came forward with a statement sup
porting the Presidents tax program as
q share burden" Of Government
plan.
President Roosevelt, who had been
absent from Washington for four days,
returned to the White House on Mon
day. The congressional leaders, up in
the air over what course to pursue. ar-
ranged to meet the President in con-

MONEYPACTA ASKED
AT TRADE PAR[EY|
U. S. Delegates to World
c. Of c. Also Urge Pay
ment of Debts.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, June disqualification Of
currencies, settlement of international
debts and lowering OF trade barriers
for world recovery were urged today
by Thomas J. Watson, head of the
American delegation, before the world
congress OF the International Cham
ber of Commerce.
The president Of the International
Business Machine Corp. cautioned
against "hasty" stabilization, how
ever, in an address setting forth the
views the American delegates would
like to see incorporated in the conven-
tion's general resolution.
Trade barriers are not the only
things that need attention II we are
to stimulate world trade" he said.
Sterilization of international cur
rencies is equally important and should
be analyzed carefully, but we should
take enough time to study thoroughly
this important. question from q stand
point OF fairness to all nations and
permanent stability. We cannot af-
ford to. take any chance by hasty
action"
Sees Debts As Handicap.
International debts are also ham,
pering world trade" Watson said, re-
ferring TO the war debts.
AS long as this matter is unsolyed
and left hanging so to speak in a
state of suspended animation. it must
continue to be q source Of irritation
in all countries involved.
Il hope this whole question can be
settled on basis that will be fair
ard considerate to the best interests
of debtor and creditor alike"
International cooperation and a
fair deal' among nations were the
keynotes of Watson's brief speech.
The American delegation was child
ed for its cautious attitude toward
war debts and other political problems
in caucus in which it toned down
the draft OF It's resolution for sub
mission to the Convention Resolutions
| Committee.
War Scare Decried.
They confined themselves to say
ing the present situation should be
re-examined and adjusted SC as to
meet practical possibilities.
They retained, however, the gen.
eral statement strongly dissenting
from the argument that another war
is unavoidable" stating the last war
was lost by all nations and left the
world impoverished and 1t is conceded
another war would be even more dis
astrous"
AS the Congress took up today the
delicate subject of the roles Of debtor
end creditor nations, its leaders,
eager to prevent another split such as
that caused by Anglo American diff
ferences over how and when to
stabilize currencies, strove to keep
international debts out of the session.
It was designed for discussion of
creditor and debtor nations only In
trade sense.
Watson, the only American sched-
uled to speak today, kept the con-
gress guessing until the last minute
by not releasing copies of his speech
in advance.
The American and British delega-
tions settled their dispute on the
stabilization issue by agreeing secretly
with the French delegation to urge
currency stabilization on their re-
spective governments.
The British group had blocked
American and French efforts to put
the congress on record as favoring
stabilization, but finally agreed it was
an indispensable preliminary to
world recovery.

lators held that the original plans
which they said had not called for
passage by Saturday-had gone awry
because Of the stand taken by the
House Ways and Means Committee.
The idea Of some leaders, they said,
had been to offer in, the Senatesa pro-
posal to tack the wealth levies on
resolution extending the nuisance"
taxes for two years. This resolution
had already passed the House and was
before the Senate.
While the Senate was considering
the wealth tax amendments, the House
was TO have initiated new resolution
pro]onging the nuisance" taxes for,
say, 80, 60 or 30 days. That. would
prevent them from expiring June 80,
the Democratic legislators said, and
would have permitted the Senate to
take its time about passing the wealth
taxes.

To the jeers of some he began the

neighborhood of the disposal plant for
stones to build his garden wall.
In moments spared from counting
garbage trucks he spaded the ground
and planted seeds and bulbs. Instead
of going home to supper and his fam

flowers.

dapple the yard.

A couple of drinking sprees In the
Capital proved the undoing Of John F.
Sullivan, 35-year- escaped convict,
who last night was on his way back to
San Quentin penitentiary to finish out
q 20-year sentence for robbery.
Sullivan. who had been living in the
1900 block of Newton street, broke
away from a road gang working out
side San Quentin in January, 1929,
and never had been apprehended as
an escaped convict. although he was
arrested here by park police q year
ago for drunkenness.
At that time he was fingerprinted
and his prints filed at the Justice De-
partment. His previous record was not
uncovered until after he had been re-
leased.
Thursday night he again was ar
rested for drunkenness and this time
it was discovered he was q fugitive.
