Roosevelt Hears 0'NeaI
State Proposal for United
Action in Aid.
By the Associated Press.


HYDE PARK, September 22.-Crea-
ton of a Farm Council composed Of
Federal, State, county and farmer rep
resentatives to coordinate various ac-
tivities Of agricultural relief was pro-
posed to President Roosevelt today by
Edward A. O'Neal, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
He said Mr.. Roosevelt favored the
idea.
O'Neal said he went over the plan
at the Summer White House only in a
general" way. Secretary Wallace
was present, but he said he was more
of silent spectator"
ONeal added several farm activities,
such as soil conservation, farm credits
and rural roads, could be co-ordinated
to make for economy and efficiency
in carrying out these broad programs" {"
Insurance Not Topic.
AS the conference proceeded, OH
cials said the Presidents proposal for
study of an "all risk" crop insur-
ance plan for submission to Congress
was not one of the subjects to be dis
cussed.
Wallace was named Sunday As
chairman Of q committee of five to
formulate a plan of crop insurance
and storage reserves designed to keep
prices on an even keel in both good
and bad crop years and to assure an
ample flow of food crops to consumers.
The President followed this yester-
day with O letter to Senator Bank
head, Democrat, Of Alabama and
Chairman Jones, Democrat. Of Texas
of the House Agriculture Committee,
requesting them to cooperate in pre-
pairing plans for meeting the farm
tenancy problem through long-term
Federal land purchase loans at low
interest rates.
Appoints Committee Of Is.
In q third move in as many days
today Mr.. Roosevelt took another step
| which has q bearing on the farm-aid
question.
He appointed q committee of 1S,
headed by DR.. Floyd Reeves, professor
of education at the University Of
Chicago, to explore the need for an
expanded program" of Federal aid

Declares They Should Be
Placed on "Sounder Basis"
in Talk to Bankers.
BY the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, September 22.-
Robert v. Fleming, president of the
American Bankers Association, said
today that tax systems throughout the
United States should be placed on q
sounder basis
Fleming made the observation in his
annual report prepared for presenta-
tion at the first general session Of
the fnanciers' general convention.
He asserted in the prepared speech
that he spoke in a bipartisan spirit
and advocated tax revision with q
view to stabilizing business.
Fleming said better understanding
between the Federal Government and
the States is needed. He proposed
this understanding cover matters such
as which types Of taxation shall be
levied by the respective governments,
and a longer-range program to per-
nit corporations to foresee and make
plans for the taxes they are called
upon to meet.
Criticizing particularly the undis-
tributed profits tax, Fleming said:
II fear the effects of q penalty tax
on . wide or even imperative accumu-
lation Of current earnings"
Facing frankly the possibility there
may have been some tax avoidance"
through unnecessary retention of cor
porate earnings, he argued for other
and wiser" corrective measures. He
added:
Legislation which Is aimed not only
to raise revenue but to effect q social
change must be considered most care
