W0RK.RELIEF BILL
HARMONY SOUGHT
TO PUSH MEASURE
Continued From First Page.)

the President is determined to au-
thoriZe no projects which would re-
suit in such competition.
Mr. Roosevelt's intentions were de-
scribed from the White House steps
by Senator O'Mahoney. Democrat. OF
Wyoming He said the President is
determined not only to authorize prof.
| ects which will not compete with
private industry, but that he will
use all his influence to maintain rates
of wages and standards in private
industry"
The administration has asked Con-
gress to approve a security wage of
about $50 a month for relief workers
The American Federation Of Labor
and some members of Congress seek
to have prevailing rates" paid, what
ever the monthly allowances. The
bill as modified by the Senate Ap-
propriations Committee after long
controversy requires that prevailing
rates be paid If the President finds
wages in private industry are being
undermined.
For Separate Bills.
After more discussion of the bill in
the Senate Monday, Senator McCar-
ran planned to introduce a motion to
return it to the Appropriations Com
mittee with instructions that the
$3.50, 100000 for relief be separated
from the rest of the measure and re-
ported out for speedy action. He in
tended also to continue on the floor
his effort to require payment Of pre-
vailing wages.
A move to alter the bill so that
grants could not be made from 1t
during the 1886 presidential campaign
was supported today by Senate Re-
publicans.
Under the measure as now worded,
the money would be available until
June 80, 1887. But the Repub-
lican Senators were agreed to fight
for an amendment which would pre-
vent the President from making any
ALLEGATIONS for work relief projects
after June 80, 1886.
Asked at his press conference yes
terday If he could spend the $4,000
10000 proposed for job-giving activi-
ties in a year or IS months, Mr..
Roosevelt said smilingly that he
would do the best he could.

WALSHF0RECASTS
RESTORATION ERA
Says Work-ReIief Bill Con-
fesses Inadequacy of
Previous Measures.

Analysing the first five years Of the
depression" in opening a new series
Of public lectures, DR.. Edmund A.
Walsh, S. j., vice president of George
town University. declared last night
the administrations $4,880, 900, 900
work-relief bill is q confession Of
the inadequacy of previous measures" I"
The truth is, We stand at the cross
roads of a great decision, as clearly
and definitely as the Nation did at
the outbreak Of the Civil War" he
said. He warned the alternative is
either bolSheviSm or new era Of
better things.
DR.. Walsh will discuss in this series
Of lectures THE Progress of Revolu-
tionary Thought" the seasons course,
for which 1000 persons have enrolled,
being held on Friday evenings in
CASTOR Hall.
Effects Of Depression.
In his Introductory talk last night,
the Georgetown educator dealt with
the effects OF the depression and its
IucdIlilB lUI hIHcllCd.
What you and I are witnessing" Z"
he said, lis the end Of the renais-
sance, with its worship of external
form, and Of the industrial revolution,
with its exaltation Of more commodity
production.
Bolshevism Is the logical culmina-
tion Of that age-long worship Of the
flesh and Of bare productivity. which
characterized the renaissance and The
industrial revolution. The prophets
OF the Russian revolution gladly ac-
cepted the mechaniZation Of profitable
industry and the supremacy of the
soulless machine which a reckless
capitalism had taught them. They
have simply developed the process 10
degrees Of ruthlessness and tyrannous
brutality that now appall the mas
terS OF the Manchester school.
The first five years since the de-
preston Of 1929. he declared, have
been spent in absorbing the shock
and surviving It," The next five
years. he said. will be spent in efforts
to restore equilibrium and will not,
we hope, be marred by senseless Bill
lingsgate and indiscriminate indict-
ment Of suspected accessories to a
crime that is chargeable to no one man
or group of men. but to humanity in
the mass"
Second Phase Entered.
The United States, DR.. Walsh
claimed, has now entered the second
phase Of the depression or period of
readjustment. He warned that the
Nation must avoid an attitude Of
'swagger" which spirit, he said, un-
fortunately Is now evident.
"The gravity Of the ch.cknlate in
which We still find ourselves" he said,
"and the stubborn persistence Of the
menace may be measured by the lat
est counter attack proposed in the
pending relief legislation. To appro-
pirate $4,000, 100000 for one agency
in the campaign surely Is admission
Of proporsi i)nately increased neces-
slty, and virtual confession of the
inadequacy OF previous measures. For
is not the nature and quantity of a
prescription a fair measuring rod of
the chars cter. the depth and extent
of diseaSa?'
DR.. Walsn's second lecture, next
Friday, will be on the topic, "The
Evolution Of Revolutions" in which
he Will develop the revolutionary trend
in the UEited States.

GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY
HEARS TALK ON BIRDS
Cornell Professor Reveals Secrets
of Feathered Creatures in
Eastern Area.

More than 5000 members Of the
National Geographic Society last night
heard DR.. Arthur A. Allen, professor
OF ornithology at Cornell University
reveal some of the secrets Of bird life
of Eastern United States at Consti-
tuition Hall.
The lecture was illustrated with
sound motion pictures. The audience
clearly heard the drumming of the
grouse, a humping sound not pro-
duced by the wings Of the bird strik-
ing its breast, as some laymen believe
but by the conclusion of air due to
swift wing action.
A large part of the film dealt with
the life of various birds from the time
eggs are Matched. until the feathered
creatures are left on their own by
their parents. When the bird is young
it will keep its mouth open as if
hungry, as long as its parents are al
the nest, although it has been filled
to capacity, DR.. Allen declared. The
mother bird knows this. When she
peers in to the mouth of her offspring
and sees unswallowed food. she re-
trieves the morsels and passes them on
to another of her young.
The trilling medley of the mocking
birds, the scream of thousands of
Canadian geese. the tapping Of wood
peckers, the whistle-like call of the
bobolink, and the drumming of the
sapsucker. we're among the many calls
reproduced on the film.
Nature has made special prepara-
tions for the care of the young of
the killdeer. according to DR.. Allen,
who pointed out that there are spots
on the mother killdeer's breast with
out feathers so that the young can
nestle next to her skin. He also de-
scribed the helldiver Of grebe which
protects its brood under the feathers
of the back, instead of under the
breast.

ROOSEVELT OBJECTS
TO DISCUSSING BILLS
Measures Before Congress Not to
Get Comment, Press Con.
ference Is Told.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt has taken the
stand-with emphasis-that he will
not comment publicly on measures
pending before Congress.
The President displayed some dis
pleasure late yesterday at his press
conference whom he asserted that de-
ductions about his attitude on proposed
legislation are apt to be erroneous.
It was impossible. he said, for him
to comment on the many changes
made in bills as they go through Con-
gress. His stand was that if he under
took to discuss details of such legisla-
ton, the discussion would be endless.
Any comment he had to make, he
said. would be made when the bills
reach him for action.
The President had been asked if the
Copeland pure food and drug bill was
an administration measure. His reply
was that he favored legislation to
tighten Up the present law.
Evening star., 1935-02-16

Far more important is the prospect
that third party radical movement
will not lack money next time. This
angle is not being overlooked even
now. II Huey wants a war chest,
he will not have to travel more than
$50 miles from Washington to nnd
plenty of people who might be glad
to chip in on anything with a rea-
sonable chance Of stopping the New
Deal.
Many things may happen in the
next year to change this trend, but
there can be no question that it is
the trend which will guide strategy
for the next few months.
Acme Of DullnesS.
So far this has been the dullest
session Of Congress since the depres-
sion started. The meetings of both
Houses are still being curtailed to ar
unprecedented extent And when
they do meet. the usual sparkle OF
political debate is lacking.
The main reason, of course, Is that
President Roosevelt is feeding his
program out very slowly, one piece
at time. But there is a deeper con-
tributing cause.
You may not beliepe it, but
there is less bunk and hokum in
congressional discussions noir.
Members are cutting dopn on
their stage plays for home con-
sumption. The record is less pad.
ded pith political blurbs. One
UiSe Observer says the boys are
beginning to realize at last that
the old fashioned hooey does not
get over With the uoters as 1t
used to.
The Moses noise does not seem to
have made the slightest impression
on the White House. Mr.. Roosevelt,
behind his phlegmatic silence. is not
much annoyed. Apparently he in
tends to follow through on his move
to squeeze the New York park COM
missioner out Of the New York City
relief picture.

Your Income Tax
Continued from yesterddyJ
Capital Gains and Losses.

Oaptdi UdlnS anu LOeScSs
Section 1T (b) defines capital as
sets as property held by the taxpayer
whether or not connected with his
trade or business). but does not in
clude stock in trade of the taxpayer
or other property Of kind which
would properly be included in the in
| ventory Of the taxpayer II on hand
at the close of the taxable year, or
property held by the taxpayer pri-
marily for sale to customers In the
ordinary course Of his trade or busi-
ness. In this definition the length
Of time the asset was held by the tax
payer is disregarded.
Section lit (c) provides the rules
for determining the period for which
capital asset has been held and Is
similar to the provisions OF section
1ol (c> 90 of the revenue act of
1882. These provisions are in gen.
eral to the effect that where property
is acquired in an exchange and the
property so acquired retains the old
basis on which to compute gain or loss
or where property Is acquired from
another person and the property re-
tains the same basis on which to COM
pute gain or loss as it had in the
hands Of the person from whom 1t
was so acquired, the period for which
the property disposed Of in the ex-
change or the period during which
the property was held by such former
owner Is also to be included in deter
mining the period for which the prop
erty is held for the purpose OF Sec
ton lit (a).
Provides Limitation.
Section 1T ID provides very I'm
portant limitation affecting all tax
payers dncluding corporations. ex-
cept with respect TO banks and trust
companies), that Is, that losses from
sales or exchanges OF capital assets
shall be allowed only TO the extent OF
$4,000 plus the gains from such sales
or exchanges.
Section lit (e) provides that gains
or losses from short sales" OF prop
erty, and gains or losses attributable
to the failure to exercise privileges or
options to buy or sell property. shall
be considered as gains or losses from
sales or exchanges Of capital assets
held for one year or less. Section
lit 0 provides that amounts re-
ceived upon the retirement Of cor
porate bonds and similar evidences OF
corporate indebtedness. with interest
coupons or in registered form. shall
be considered as amounts received in
exchange therefor. thus giving to any
gain or loss thereby resulting to the
holder the status Of capital gain %
loss, as the case may bs.

In the interest Of obtaining q

today widespread investigation. of
natural gas pipe line companies and
their holding companies.
Smith. who is president of the De-

The organization which he repre-
sents was formed last month at CO.

by representatives Of 10 municipalities
from eight Midwestern States. He said
Congress would be asked to help the

natural gas, but which at present are
compelled to negotiate only with pipe
