international News Service


The Senate's big Mitchell inves-
tigation was a closed book today.
Ewing Y. Mitchell, the Assistant
Secretary of Commerce whom the
New Deal fired, had shot his bolt
before the Senate Commerce Com
mittee, and the committee chair
man, Senator Copeland CD of
New York, said he turned up moth
ing new.
Mitchell came before the inves-
tigating group with promises he
would show graft, corruption and
scandalous conduct in the Com
merce Department. When he con-
cluded Copeland said it was all
hearsay, suspicion and data taken
out of investigations already con-

his duty.
The investigation record was
held open to receive certain writ

he wanted to file, but the COM
mittee will make no report.

House Ways and Means Commit
tee, made the promise to follow
suit if the Senate acts. He said:
eff the Senate passes a tax
program we will consider it. 1
am calling the Ways and Means
Committee together to consider
1t as soon as possible"
Mr.. Doughton added that he
believed the President was "in
earnest" when he recommended
imposing heavy levies on the great
fortunes.
Senator La Toilette may have
an opportunity to start his tax
drive today. The pending resolu-
ton extending the emergency
taxes which otherwise would au-
tomatically expire June 80 may
come up. Senator Harrison said
he did not know when he would
move to consider the measure, but
the Republican leader, Senator
McNary of Oregon, indicated he
wanted the legislation acted on
as speedily as possible.
Failure Predicted
The Wisconsin Senator will
move to attach the wealth redis-
tribution taxes to the emergency
resolution. Senator Harrison and
other leaders predicted failure
in this drive, but it will serve to
open the inevitably bitter battle
presa aged by Mr.. Roosevelt's
startling message.
A fight impends even on the
emergency extension resolution,
designed to provide about $780,
000, 1000 in revenue. AS it came
to the Senate Finance Commit
tee after House passage, it ex-
tended the taxes for two years.
The committee reduced the eX-
tension to one year and reported
the bill to the Senate. There are
many who favor the two-year
proposal
Constitution Act Now
Representative Summers CD,
of Texas, chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee, said he un-
derStandS the President wants a
resolution passed at this session
submitting to the States a consti-
tutional amendment permitting
the Federal Government to tax
income from tax-exempt State,
county and municipal bonds.
He said he does not know
whether the President wants the
rest of his program on the must"
list, but he has been informed by
authoritative sources that the
President does want the consti-
tutional amendment resolution
passed now.

JUDGE REFUSES
MRS. Valleys
GU|LTY.PLEA
Weyerhaeuser Kidnaper Gets
45-Year Term; Clears Wife
of Snatch implicitly

FEDERAL BUILDING, Ia
COMA, Wash, June % 0.N.SD.
Unless her attorney can argue her
into changing her mind, Margaret
Valley, 20. "the enigma woman"
of the Weyerhaeuser kidnapping
case, will plead guilty when taken
before u. S. District Judge E. E.
Cushman here today, it was indi.
Gated.
Mrs. Valleys plea Of guilty to
"Lindbergh Law" charges voiced
in a crowded courtroom yesterday
was set aside by Judge Cushman
after he heard statements from
her husband, Harmon Metz Wa.
ley, and her attorney, Stephen j.
O'Brien.
Mr.. O'Brien, convinced that
Mrs. Valley is not guilty under
the "Lindbergh law" begged her
to plead not guilty and ask for a
jury trial. She refused.
Must Plead Today
After VALLEY, confessed ring
leader in the sensational crime,
pleaded guilty and was sentenced
to the Federal penitentiary at Nc
Neil Island to serve a 45-year term,
O'Brien conferred with Mrs. Valley
and advised her to change her
mind before Judge CuShman asks
for her plea today.
A few hours before her appear
ance today Mrs. Valley still was
insisting she be allowed to plead
guilty.
OBrien said he would have
another talk with her shortly
before court Is called into ses-
sion.
O,Brien may argue she was
dominated by her husband and
William Mahan, valleys fugitive
accomplish. 1t is a principle Of
old English law that a wife is
innocent Of criminal acts com.
mitted by her under the domi.
nance of her husband.
Mailed Ransom Note
The Government, in q second
indictment charges Mrs. VALLEY
mailed one of the ransom notes
to j. P. Weyerhaeuser, father Of
the kidnapped boy.
Before he was sentenced, VALLEY
made q brief statement to the
court. He declared he had moth.
ing to say for himself but wanted
the court to know that his wife
was innocently brought into the
case. Valleys remarks apparently
touched Judge Cushman, who at
once announced her plea stood re-
jected and that he would give her
until today ito think the matter
over"
AS the Valleys were separated
yesterday, they embraced and
kissed farewell.
Mrs. Valley remarked as her
husband left for Mcneil Island:
God, how 1 love that man."

AND IVA
BILLS RIPPED
IN HOUSE
President 0Ver-ridden as Both
Are DrasticaIly Modified
BY Insurgent Moves
international News Service

Ignoring entreaties Of President
.oosevelt. House Democratic in
Surgents today forced drastic re-
vision of Administration utility
and power legislation.
A greatly modified bill for regu-
lation of utility holding com.
panieS was drafted by the Inter
state Commerce Committee. while
the Military Affairs Committee
ordered sweeping limitations on
IVA operations.
President Over-ridden
Overriding the Presidents de.
mand for dissolution of giant hold
ing companies, the Commerce
Committee provided for their
simplification into integrated pub
lie utility systems whenever the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion felt such action is in the pub
lie interest.
To preclude heavy losses by the
companies, the committee granted
exemption from the Federal stock
transfer tax to all securities is:
sued or acquired by a holding
company while it simplifies its
structure.
Tax Burdens Lightened
The committee also eased the
tax burden which would have been
placed on holding company profits
by the Administration bill. Under
the revised measure the companies
will be required to pay the regular
Federal corporation tax on divi
dends received from another hold
ing company. This levy originally
was to have been applicable also
to profits received from operating
subsidiaries.
Chairman Rayburn announced
the new bill would be reported to-
day with House consideration
scheduled for next week.
Meanwhile the military affairs
committee rejected the Admins
tration bill extending IVA activi-
ties and approved, instead, a COM
promise measure imposing a series
of restrictions on the Federal
power program.
New Projects Restricted
The revised bill prohibits con-
struction Of new projects by the
iva without consent of Congress,
prevents sale Of surplus power and
chemicals at less than production
costs after July, 1887, and gives
the Comptroller General strict
supervision over IVA procurement
contracts.
To force the authority to com.
pete on equal terms with private
utilities, the committee ordered it
to operate under an accounting
system approved by the Federal
Power Commission.

BEVERLEY HILLS, Cal, June
22.-Mr. Roosevelt went to
see Yale race Harvard in
boats yesterday. Funny he

league row at POughkeepsie.
These Western colleges can drag

Senator yesterday. The whole
argument was whether he was
30 years old or not. West Viz
ginia keeps no records and they
can't remember back that far.
Funny thing about being a u. s.

law says you have to be is 80
years old. Not another single re-
quirement necessary. They just

RESERVE BOARD
REPORTS WIDE
INCOME GAINS
Highest in Three Years, With
Prospects Best Since 1929,
June Survey Shows
international News Service

OOA
The 1885 spring has shown the
largest national income in three
years. the Federal Reserve Board
announced today.
The June monthly report con.
tanned the most favorable indica.
tors and the best prospects for fu.
ture progress that have been dis
closed by the board since the mar
ket crashed and the depression
settled down in the last days Of
1929.
Income Sources Varied
Increased income in industrial
communities has reflected chiefly
larger productive activity, the
board explained. Growth in agri-
cultural income has been the re-
suit of higher prices and benefit
payments. Significant, however,
was the statement:
Government expenditures for
relief and for public works have
continued to be = factor in sus-
tanning spending power"
Domestic trade in durable in.
dustrieS such as automobiles,
household equipment and agricul.
tural implements has shown a
substantial increase this year as
compared with last. Export trade
in these commodities has also in.
creased, and production, employ
ment and pay rolls in the same
lines have shown marked ad-
VanceS.
Automobile Output Scars
What appeared to be one Of
the most favorable signs was the
maintenance Of automobile pro-
duction at a high level. The
number of cars aSse m b d
through May was about 1880, 900
as compared with a low level Of
2,700,0O0 in 1929. The board
commented:
This years output Of auto
mobiles and related products
may be curtailed earlier than
usual in connection with the
contemplated earlier introduce
ton of new models. The in
fluence of. this factor on the
output of automobiles, how
ever, will presumably be tenn
porary and aggregate output
during the remainder Of the
year will depend in large part
on changes in consumer de-
mand for automobiles"
