Ickes Tells Why
Interior Needs
New Name
International News Service

A vigorous argument for
changing the name of the
Interior Department to the De-
partment of Conservation and
Works was made before the
Senate Public Lands Commit
tee yesterday by Secretary of
the Interior Ickes.
Mr.. Ickes gave two major
reasons for the change. He
said the Government policy of
conservation could be much
more effectively carried for
ward if all of its divisions were
placed under a single agency.
Moreover. he added, the Gov.
eminent would never make any
appreciable progress until such
a change Is made.
The Interior Secretary sup.
ported the Lewis bill which
would effect the proposed
change in name and at the
same time authorize the Presi.
dent to transfer any agencies,
independent bureaus engaged in
conserving natural resources or
carrying on public works &C.

F ORD ASSA|LS
TAXON THRIFT

DETROIT. July IL G.N.SD.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt'S
proposed "soak-the-rich" tax pro-
gram today stood branded by
Henry Ford as "a new form of
destruction" as the multimillion-
aire automobile magnate joined
big business in delivering verbal
blows at the Administrations
taxation plans.
Ford, who will be e years old
July 80, said:
81 never objected to paying
taxes but do object to the
Government eating up the real
wealth of the country on the
pretext of giving it back to the
people.
ut never gets back to the
people!"
NO FORD FORTUNE
Ford then charged that the
"soak-the-rich" plan was "a fig
ment of political Imagination on
the one hand and a new form Of
destruction on the other"
1t had been estimated in some
quarters that under one proposal
OF the soak the rich" tax plan
advanced in Washington the Gov
eminent would take hundreds of
millions of dollars in inheritance
taxes upon the death of Ford.
Asked for his view of the uues-
ton, Ford told mis- interviewers:
There is no Ford fortune to
divide up. If they divide up
the plant and the organization
what will they do with it? The
wealth Is not the money, but
the machine and its useful
product.
Politicians think money can
do anything. 1t can do nothing.
1t Is the people who have all
the| wealth. The American
home is the most heavily f.
nanced corporation in this
country. There are not enough
rich men to do anything for, or
to do anything to anybody.
SPENDING A SCIENCE
Spending money is a greater
science than getting it. Those
people in Washington don't
know how to spend because
they don't know how to earn"
Ford'S remarks regarding the
American home closely paralleled
the statements of Alfred P. Sloan,
jr., president of the General Mo-
tors, in the latter's report to
stockholders today.
Sloan said that big business
he referred to it as business big
ness" and mass production
had given the American home
conveniences that otherwise would
have been impossible.
Any attempt to carry out the
tax program, he charged, would
be inspired by a motive to destroy
business bigness" and would re-
tard unemployment and the high
standard of living of the country's
citizens.

His body lies in a funeral room

The Calhouns had been on re-

reiterated doubts as to his credi'
bility.

resentative Fuller said:

sentative Treadway seconded the
motion.
ASsails Tax Plan
A vigorous denunciation of the
proposed share-the-wealth tax pro-
gram, which included warning
that "in its broad aspects this
country already is lowering on
the precipice Of insolvency." was
made before the committee by
Mr.. Chandler.
Coupled with it was an equally
vigorous condemnation of Ad-
ministration spending. Mr.. Chan
dler said:
"If and when the President
and Congress seriously under
take the task Of balancing the
budget and If and when the
present orgy of spending is
halted and this nation enters
upon the herCulean task Of
amortixing the huge national
debt, which may amount to a
figure of approximately $4,000
million dollars before we are
through, the business interests
of Ohio will bear their full and
fair share Of the burden with
out protest or complaint.
"But under present conditions
we feel that pouring more
money into Washington Is like
throwing water into . Sieve."
RAPS ADVISERS
Mr.. Chandler said he had mot
the slightest doubt that in the
inner group that surrounds the
President and seems to have his
ear, there are numerous con-
Spirators who do not want pros
perity to return and who do want
to see private property in this
country so diScredited that the
doctrines of Karl Marx will be
substituted for those of Washing
ton, Jefferson, Hamilton, Lincoln,
Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt,
Wilson and Coolidge"
Wealth cannot be redistributed
through taxation. Mr.. Chandler
said. Only poverty can be redis-
tributed through that method, he
added.
The other menaces he enumer.
Ated as Congressional rubber
stamping legislation, tomenting
hostility to the Supreme Court,

vate business, Capitalization of
