Maryland Awaits Filing Of

BALTIMORE, March 5.-Political
Maryland today awaited the filing OF
papers making Col. Henry Breckin-
ridge as candidate against Presi-
dent Roosevelt in the Democratic pri.
maries.
The platform on which Breckin-
ridge might make his appeal to Mary
land Democrats was outlined in his
speech here last night before the AS
sociation for the Defense of the Con-
stitution. The association said sew
eral days ago it would enter him as an
anti-New Deal candidate in the pri-
maries.
In addition to laying out his plat
form, Breckenridge, Assistant Secre-
tary OF War in the Wilson cabinet,
asserted the New Deal economy of

that the economic folly of Govern
ment during the last three years is
directly responsible for third and

employment"
Departing from the text of his pre-
pared address, Breckinridge assailed
the national tax message sent to
Congress by President Roosevelt.
The central purpose of this tax pro-
gram is the eventual undermining of
surpluses, he charged. He continued
by outlining the position surpluses
have held in the economic scheme
since the days Of Joseph and the
seven lean years."
16 Points in Statement.
There were 16 points in Breckin-
ridges statement of q possible anti
New Deal platform.
The points he stressed included:
Support of the Supreme Court; main
tenance of the Federal system; sup
preston of lawlessness whether in
the Offices Of government or else
where; encouragement Of social JUS
tiee through individual State action,
and improvement of agriculture and
labor relations by constitutional
action"

Mrs Cleveland for that hat ot hats,

been at close range while other Presi-

Usually accompanied by their hus-
bands, she recalled, these women were
always courteous, relying upon the
saleswomen to offer helpful sugges-
tions.
As for the Presidents, she said,
they followed the approved method
for husbands by showing more inter-
est in the store officials than their
wives purchases.
Looking backward, Miss Burke
sighed little over the days when
women paid anywhere from $40 to
500 for their hats and thought little

I'VE have before us the hearings of

Speeder- -Chasers Sought.
Representative Schultz, Democrat,
of Indiana, member of the District
Committee and also the subcommittee
studying the traffic situation, is the
only one who announced definitely
in advance an intention to offer an
amendment to the bill. He said he
would seek to have the Police Depart
ment appropriation increased so that
Superintendent Ernest w. Brown could
put more men on motor cycles to chase
speeders and reckless drivers.
The second day Of general debate
on the bill yesterday failed to produce
any discussion of District affairs.
Members of the House took advantage
of the opportunity under the general
debate rule to talk on a variety of
subjects ranging from communism to
the tariff on butter.

But today, however, general debate
will end at $3.50 pm. under a unani-

will be read for amendments. Chair
man Blanton of the House Subcom-
mittee on Appropriations in charge of

early tomorrow afternoon and sent to
the Senate.
The bill as reported calls for appro-
priations totaling $42,573, ,283, an in
crease of s908,283 over the amount
recommended by the Budget Bureau.
The increase, however. is deceptive be-
cause Of the juggling resorted to by
the subcommittee, and the fact that
it confronts District taxpayers with
an added tax burden In the coming
fiscal year.

TAX PLAN ROUSES
FINANCE DEBATE
Recovery Effect Of Corpora
ton Profits Distribution
Seen in Two Lights.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 5.-Whether
President Roosevelt's proposed tax on
undistributed corporate profits would
put more purchasing power into the
hands of the people and thus ac-
celerate recovery was sharply debated
in financial circles yesterday.
As most Wall Street observers un-
derstand it, the administration would
like to see the bulk of unallocated
earnings transferred by dividend decla-
rations into energized dollars in the
pockets of stockholders. -
Speedier turnover of dollars would,
it is believed, occur in the following
manner:
A corporation, for example, would
earn $10,000,000 in 1886. Normally
it might pay out s5,0o0,ooo in divi-
dends.
The balance of $5,0o0,000 it would
put in its surplus account. There it
would probably remain for such pur-
poses as repair and equipment and
as rainy day" money from which
the corporation could pay dividends
in lean years.
Under the proposed tax on undis-
tributed profits, however. the money,
or most of it, instead Of being held
by the corporation, would be i'm
mediately sluiced into the possession
Of individuals.
Analysts today recalled the opinion
held by some economists that by build
ing up surpluses in the l920's cor
porations choked of the stream OF
purchasing power and thus helped
cause the depression.
They also noted that whereas in
theory the expansion of surpluses was
partially intended to provide finan-
cial reinforcement for days of stress
in practice cautious business exec
utives often did not dip into these
funds for dividends in depression
years.
Critics of the undistributed profits
tax raised objections to this type of
levy.
They contended that corporate
surpluses instead Of going into div
idends are often spent by the corpo-
rations themselves for plants and
equipment.
Corporation "ABC." they insisted,
in building new production facilities,
Is just as effective a spender of $l0,-
100000 as one million shareholders
each receiving a $40 dividend.
An expenditure of s10,000000 for
a new plant, in other words. means
orders for steel and cement, wood and
Wire-and work for more men.

[OSS0F SAVING H|T|
BY SCHOOL BOARD|
Members, Upset by Bill,
Impound Fund Needed
for New Teachers.

Members of the Board of Education
can't understand why it can't spend
its own money for teachers salaries.
During the current year an accu-
mulated balance of $4,000 was saved
by hiring new teachers at the mini
mum pay rate to replace retirements
and designations of veteran teachers.
The board asked for the right to
hire at once 81 teachers, using the
accumulated money. Altogether 25l
new teachers were requested.
Under the present District appro-
priation bill the board has been denied
the q teachers for whom the money
is available and for whom no new
appropriation would have to be made.
That money will be impounded by
the provisions of the 1887 supply bill
before the House.
Request Cut to S..
The Budget Bureau had reduced
the request for 251 teachers to author
ization of IS. Now. with the q cut
off, the school system, years behind
actual needs in teaching personnel,
will be able to employ % new teachers
next year.
Mrs. Marion Wade Doyle, president,
commenting on the measure as re-
ported by the Blanton committee,
expressed her disappointment in the
elimination of the character education
experiment and the denial Of other
necessary requests.
But the lack of teachers is our
most serious situation" she said.
Suggests Emergency Fund.
Robert A. Maurer, member Of the
board, inquired if an emergency exists
and suggests, If it does, an emergency
appropriation be asked.
II can't understand" he said, "as a
taxpayer in the District, where money
is paid by District people to educate
their own children in their own
schools, it is made to appear that we
are trying to steal money from the
United States Treasury"
Comment on the subject came when
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent,
presented a brief comparing the re-
ported bill with provisions approved
by the Budget Bureau.
