LEVY ON SALES
ALSO BEING
STUDIED
President Concerned
Over FIoutine Of
His Budget
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL
International Newn aervic0


A tax bill under which part Of
the burden Of maintaining the
new $500, 900 900 farm subsidy pro.
gram may be placed on income
taxpayers became a distinct pos.
Sibility today as an expectant Con.
greSS awaited Administration
recommendations.
Congressional tax experts, act.
ing under instructions from q
powerful group in the House, al.
ready are making studies to de-
termine where funds can be oh
tanned in addition to reenactment
and revision Of processing levies.
Unless the Administration lays
down a definite program and de.
mandS Congressional adherence,
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee may seek q relntroduction
Of the old processing taxes on q
reduced scale and imposition Of
new ones on industry.
In Higher Brackets
Increases in taxes on individual
incomes Of from $4,000 to &6O, ,0O0
a year, slight boost in the cor.
poration tax rate, closing Of loop
holes in exiSting laws and impo-
sition Of selected sales taxes, pre-.
ferably on luxury" goods, were
among the tax possibilities under
study.
While the Administration plan,
it is generally understood, Is to
hold the tax program to financing
the new farm bill, the program
was said to be subject to change.
President Roosevelt, high Ad.
ministration SpokeSmen said, is
highly exercised over q tendency
by Congress to flout his budget in
voting appropriations.
Budget Disrupted
An appropriation Of 50 million
dollars for seed and feed loans,
made by Congress without the
Presidents previous approval. and
a new authorization in the farm
bin for use Of approximately 90
million dollars tariff receipts al
though the President opposed it,
were cited by close friends Of the
President in Congress.
The budget. already Sagging un-
der the weight Of court reverSeS
and the soldiers bonus, may be
even further disrupted unless q
halt Is called on voting Of funds.
One Administration leader in
Congress said he suspected infla-
tioniStS were seeking to Toad up
appropriation bills to force iSsu.
ance Of new money.
Mr.. Roosevelt, however, leaders
said, may bluntly tell Congress
to either hew to the line on the
budget or prepare to vote q huge
tax bill in the present session.
New Taxes Fought
The President is slated to sub.
NIT his tax recommendations to
congressional leaders at o con.
ference on Thursday or Friday.
Proposals in the Senate for q
huge tax bill met with instant
opposition in the House. The
proposal of Senator Byrd CD.) Of
Virginia, to raise 1000 million
dollars in taxes as . warning
to the country that expenditures
must be met by higher taxes
was labelled impossible by House
leaders.
Congressional leaders in both
Senate and House said that any
effort to make q wide revision
of tax laws would blast hopes Of
adjournment Of Congress between
April Is and May Is.

What He Said
Hagood created sensation IN
his appearance before the House
Committee by urging Congress to
take advantage Of what he de-
scribed as a ''lot of easy money
floating around" including "stage
money from the WPA," and to
use it to improve living condi.
tionS at Army posts.
In commenting on the Admins
tration'S relief spending program,
Hagood told the committee:
EFT is harder for me to get
five cents to buy q lead pencil
than to get q thousand dollars

CHALLENGES

Priest Wants Debate
On Farm Bill With
Critic In House

DEThO1I, FeD. "a 4.Nd5 ~.
Rev. Charles Z. Coughlln today
was waiting for John" (Rep.
John j. O'Connor (D0 Of New
York; to knock the chip off his
shoulder following the radio
priests radio address Sunday
when he challenged O'Connor to
debate the merits Of the Frazier
Lemke farm bill on the floor Of
Congress.
Addressing O'Connor person
ally as John" Father Coughlin
answered charges made by O'Con-
nor in Q speech before the House
during which O'Connor made o
tempered apology for threatening
to "Kick Coughlin from the Capt..
tol to the White House." and
also demanded investigation of
Father Coughlin's Social Justice
Union funds.
Denies Charge
Rev. Coughlin, explaining his
challenge to International News
Service today, said he did not
mean he would personally debate
with O'Connor on the farm bill
in Congress, but expected mem
berS of Congress representing the
farmers and servant girls to
align themselves In debate
against those representing the
money changers"
Replying to O'Connor's charges
great profits were made from the
radio priests Social Justice
Union, Father Coughlin said in
his broadcast:
"I challenge you, John, to
show where any money Of the
National Union for Social JUS
tlcc ever built even one brick Of
my church or paid me o salary.
The National Union II more
than $S4,0 in the red this
minute. Would you like to
change places with me, John?
EXCUSES WRATH
"YOu made one Of the most
beautiful perOratlOns / ever

craved the love and respect Of
your darling sons. I am not 80
fortunate In that respect. / sac
rificed my right Of fatherhOOd
to be q spiritual father to your
boy and to thousands Of otherS
throughout America.
"DO you blame me for rising
mn In wrath against an eco
nomiC system that keeps my
children in . state Of depres-
siOn?"
He then issued his challenge to
debate the farm Bill III Congress,
declaring: i
"Are you sportsman and
American enough to accept? l
think you are. Are the servants
Of the money changers brave.
enough to do battle with my
servant girls and their repre-
sentatives?"
The priests reference to "Serv-
ant girls" was q jibe at O'Connor
who, in answering Father Cough
Inns charge that O'Connor was al
lied with the money changers, had
described the Social Justice Union
aS - servant girls organization.
Reads Answer
Father Coughlin reiterated
charges O'Connor used the gag
rule in opposing the Frazier
Lemke bill and said in doing so
he was acting for the Administra-
ton.
Quoting O'Connor as saying, II
have never made any effort to in
duce any member Of the House
to withdraw his name from the
petition seeking q vote on this
measure (the Frazier-L Lemke btlO,"
Father Coughlin said:
Here is the answer which /
win read to you from . telegram
addressed to me by one OF Con-
Srcssman O'COnnOr's colleagues:

II think so, too" said Nell,
warm, proud tears glistening on
her laShes.
She pictured her baby in the
dainty garments they had bought
and in little crpcheted jackets she
would make. Pictured it laugh
ing in a dear, proud Ricky'S arms.
Only as she climbed the apart
ment house steps did the gnaWlng
worry get to the surface. Her
mind flung at her with accusa-
ton: "You spent $40. You're in
sane! You'll have to go on re-
lief!"
At the third landing the young
mother who had advised Nell
about the nursing home stood at
her door, idly chatting with a de-
livery man. The girl was hay
colored blonde with red button
of q mouth and round, twittery
eyes. She waved goodbye to the
man and turned beamingly to
Nell: my, you're short of breath.
Is your husband coming back for
the grand excitement? I was say
ing to Susie he ought to show up
if he ever intends to. Certainly
a shame you can't leave your
mother"
Nell gave cold, abrupt answers
and went on, feeling crowded and
weak. The girls careless words
flung distressingly in her face the
menacing future from which all
day she had been hiding.
She wasn't going to Rick when
the baby was born. Rush away
like a rat from sinking ship and
leave her mother to die unat-
tended? She couldn't!
The alternative was grim. Bring
a newborn child into this dismal
abode? Try to care for it and
her ailing mother, too? More
forhidding yet was the prospect
of prolonged absence from Ricky.
It would spell the end Of her love
and marriage. Beyond all doubt!
''Nell, sweetheart, don't tell me
this crazy separation has to con-
tinue." Ricky wrote in a desc
late letter. "I get so desperate
thinking Of you in tina wretched
apartment, working like a slave
and probably in pain, could go
out and crack a safe to get the
money to lift you out of it all.
I see your white face in dreams.
You come and look at me sadly;
you vanish weeping. I'm driven
mad with fear for you and shame
for myself. A real man would
find way to end this outrageous
situation. I've got to!"
"Ricky, dearest" she wrote
back, heartbrokenly, "don't get
too impatient. Think Of the child
we soon shall have-such a
strong, glorious child. Worth
aching for; worth even missing
so terribly the beloved you"
Nell brought trays to her
mother. She tried to fluff out the
once beautiful hair. It was fad
ing. Not a pale, soft gray. A
ghastly pink-white that gave a
weird. unreal look 10 Mol1S 5 eAAAa-
ciated face.
Nell thought with horror: "Shes
starving: slowly, Starkly, she's
starving to death"
Henry Mason stood awkwardly
at the bed. Sometimes he held
MONS hand and asked unhappily.
Can I do anything for you, Dora?
Shall I read the newspaper to
you?" The look of hungry adora-
ton in her mothers suffering eyes
made Nell a bit faint.
The atmosphere in the dingy
house became insupportable. She
feared it would hurt her child.
From every corner voices whis-
pered, you'll have to bring your
baby here to this sweat-boX. You're

 The bureau estimated the surplus in principal exporting countries on July at about 3s8,000,000 bushels, compared with 632,000,000 bushels Q year ago, 74l 100000 bushels in 1884 and 7S9,0O0, 900 bushels-an ale time peak-in the summer of 1883.
