Byrns opposed a special session
next fall to consider the tax pro-
gram. He said:

can, so that we can have q rea-
sonably short session next

the six questions that l pro-
pounded to him Saturday. They
merely ask him to say yes or

BILE now; he has gone too far.
1t Is either yes or no."
Today'S assertions by the Delta
Dictator followed his action in
addressing a lengthy letter to the
President demanding to know
whether he really intended to
drive for enactment of the new
tax program. Senator Long frankly
conceded that sho,Cl the program
go through it would mean his own
political death, but said he would
welcome it just the same.
Six specific questions were con.
tanned in the Louisiana Senator's
letter to the White House. These
included:
/. Does Mr.. Roosevelt intend
to limit the amount Of wealth
any one man should own, and
if so, at what figure?
2. Does the President intend
to redistribute wealth so that
every family may have a home
stead and the fair comforts of
life?"
3. Shall the new laws provide
for every family to have an in
come that will be not less than
one-third the average" family
earnings?
4. Shall inherited family for.
tunes be limited, and if so, at
what figure?
S. Would the money accruing
to the Government assure every
child an education, including
professional training?
6. Would the money be used
also to asurse that every per-
son over so would draw a fair
