ing opposition among agricultural
members to reimposition Of the
AAA processing taxes which were
outiawed by the Supreme Court
Living Cost Causes Worry
Charges that the old processing
taxes were passed back to the
farmer in lower prices in some in
stances and the outcry in cities
against the high cost Of living
contributed to the situation which
produced the novel tax theory.
Fear also is expressed by some
agricultural members that the
high percentage Of processing
taxeS-amounting to p sales tax Of
30 per cent on some products
may cause a revolt against any
permanent farm program.
The new proposal embraces
processing taxes designed to raise
$50 million dollars q year, about
half the amount produced by
AAA processing taxes. They also
would be spread on competing
commodities.
The other $50 million dollars
would be raised by tax leVieS on
general industry and business.
No specific plan has been devised
to take the annual levy from
industry. A general increase in
the corporation income tax rate
is among the proposals under
discussion.
Initiation Bloc Busy
Advisers Of President Roosevelt,
according to information reaching
Congressional leaders, have failed
to reach q complete agreement on
q tax program to finance the farm
plan.
The program had been expected
to reach Congress this week. but
leaders insisted that they had had
no word from the White House.
Meantime the House initiation
blocS continued their struggle for
issuance Of new money instead Of
additional taxes.

Sylvania, Democratic whip, was
confident that the campaign to
force o vote on the FraZier-Lemke
farm initiation bill had been
blocked.
BackerS Of this measure were
struggling to force it to the House

Quiet Investigation Of
Demand for More
Funds Likely
BY EARL GOODWIN

President Roosevelt may take a
hand in the row between Repre-.
sentative Tom Blanton CD of
Texas, chairman of the House
subcommittee on District appro.
priations, and the Medical So
ciety Of the District Of Columbia,
it was earned at the White
House today.
II he does, however, it will be
with considerable fineSse and the
official hand of the White House
will be well concealed. While the
President diSclaimS any knowledge
of the questions concerning the
appropriation for health and
sanitation in the District, it be-
came known today that con.
siderable attention has been paid
to the situation by White House
officials, to whom both sides Of
the controversy apparently are
looking.
Care for Transients
President Roosevelt will not in
tervene between the doctors and
Representative Blanton, but be.
fore the matter gets to the stage
Of open warfare, it is likely some
one may make quiet inspection
Of the situation for purposes of
report to the White House.
The sore point with many Of
those who have taken their trou-
bles to the White House is the
undermanned and under-equipped
public hospitals and public wards
and the facilities for taking care
of the transient sick.
May Seek Report
However, the Presidents ad.
visers in this matter are not tax.
ing anything for granted, and are
not assuming that Health Officer
George C. Rutland is 100 per cent
right in his demand for more
money. The White House is rep
resented as being rather conServa-
tive, particularly because of the
fact that DR.. william C. Fowler,
the previous health officer, admin
istered the Health Department on
slim purse for many years.
It is believed the President may
choose committee of two or three
experts to investigate the hospital
and health questions at iSsue and
make a personal report to him.
It is understood that if this is
done, there will be no publicity
attached to the inspection or the
report.
