Smell read to newspapermen this state
ment Of their position:
I've believe in adequate appropri-
ations for the relief of the suffering
and needy people in every community.
Ask Divorce From Politics.
I've demand that the distribu-
ton Of relief funds be immediately
divorced from political control.
3-We advocate that all relief funds
as far as the Federal Government is
concerned should be by grants to the
several States and administered by
non partisan committees in local COM
munities.
Ave believe this program of ad-
ministering relief will save from IS to
SO per cent Of present expenditures and
result in more adequate and efficient
relief of needy and deserving citizens. I"
Two New York Representatives pre-
pared. to make an attempt to put this
program through. Representative
Taber, member of the Appropriations
Committee, planned to offer an amend
ment providing for the grants to
States. while Representative Bacon
was to submit the amendment to out
law what the caucus termed political
control"
Better Move Ignored.
On the other fight involving the re-
lief bill, the Republicans adopted no
concerted stand. This is the attempt
of Representative Better and his "P.
w. A. bloc" to earmark $700, 900 900 of
the appropriation for Secretary Ickes'
Public Works Administration projects.
President Roosevelt frowns on such
a move It has been indicated that
Harry L. Hopkins Works Progress
Administration would have charge of
the bulk Of the s1,5oo, ,ooo.oo fund
under administration plans.
When reporters asked about the
Republicans stand on the earmarking
move, Smell said it was Democrats
proposition, and it will be up to the
individual members to vote as they
want"
Hold Caucus Tonight.
Better had succeeded in obtaining
enough signatures to force a Demo-
cratic caucus on the earmarking ques-
ton. The caucus will be held tonight
and Better will try to have it back
his demand.
In a counter move, administra-
ton leaders indicated yesterday that
heavier construction jobs could be
financed without earmarking any Of

such respectable virtues as patriotism

So DR.. William A. White, superin-

SERVICE MEDAL
IS GIVEN MORGAN
Banker, Honored for Con-

Simple Success Rules.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
NEW YORK, May For "distin-
guished services rendered to human
ity'' j. P Morgan, the banker, today
held a gold medal of the National In
stitute of Social Science.
Responding to the presentation last
night, he said he wondered why ne
was SO honored.
Thinking it over, I have con-
cluded that any success have had
has come from the fact that, while
I know full well that methods must
change, the old and well-tried princi-
Piles on which the business with which
I am connected was started and car
ried on, must be held to-" he declared.
They may be summed up in a few
short phrases: Do your work; be
honest; keep your word; help when
you can; be fair"
Three other persons received
medals: Mrs. Dorothy Harrison Eustis,
founder and president of the Seeing
Eye, an institution at Morristown,

Hall, president of the Boys Club Fed

Owen D. Young presented the medal
to Morgan. Recently" he said,
"scme OF our most skilled censuriSts
have endeavored to blame him for
something or anything or nothing.
To them We owe debt of gratitude,
for, as result, Mr.. j. P. Morgan has
been compelled to explain himself to
the American people, a thing he
voluntarily would have never done.
And what was the response? A
whole-hearted and appreciative recog-
milton of his service to the American
people. /"

STATES BACKING
SOCIAL SECURITY
Miss Perkins Tells Women'S
Trade Union League of
Cooperation.

Every State and territory is now CO.
operating "in some way" with the
social security program, Secretary Of
Labor Perkins announced last night in
an address before the National Wom-
ems Trade Union League.
Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New
York, Miss Perkins and Miss Rose
Schneiderman, president of the
league, discussed social security and
workers rights.
Efforts toward better adjustment of
labor disputes was the chief subject
before the convention at this morn
ing'S session at the Dodge Hotel
George M. Harrison, president Of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, spoke
on labor's efforts. while the work of
the Government was discussed by Dr.
Walton Hamilton, economist and
author of The Control Of Wages"
Speech This Afternoon.
M. H. Hedges, director of research
for the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, was to speak this
afternoon on "Untangling the Maze
of Modern Industry" with a business
session and nomination of officers to
follow. Convention delegates were
guests of Mrs. Roosevelt at a White
House tea at pm. yesterday.
Il cannot tell you how happy I am"
Miss Perkins said, Ito make this first
public announcement of the fact that
every State in the Union and every
territory is now cooperating in some
way with the social security program
Every one of our 48 States, the Dis
trlct Of Columbia, Alaska and Hawaii
has submitted one or more plans or
laws for the approval of the respective
branches of the Federal Government
charged with the administration of
the social security act.
Already" she asserted, AT States
have submitted plans for extending
their public health or child welfare
services in accordance with the pro-
visions of the act. and the plans of 80
States, Alaska. Hawaii and the Dis
trlct have been approved and are in
operation"
Miss Perkins asserted "the nation
In turn will be amply repaid, both
in the immediate future by the fact
that the life, the health, the pro-
ductivity-the buying capacity of
these people-will be maintained, and
in the much more distant future be-
cause what might otherwise have gone
on the human scrap heap is saved
for the further upbuilding of this
country"
Senator Wagner described the So
cial Security Act as notable be-
ginning" and said that "the admins
tration's interest and labor's interest"
In the program has just begun"
Federal Government Job.
Both Senator Wagner and Secre-
tary Perkins stressed their contention
that the job of relief and reemploy-
ment should be directed by the
Federal Government rather than by
the States and local government
units.
Today" said the Senator, "the
principle that those who are out of
work shall not be left in abject want
has been built into the very frame
work of our institutions"
Miss Schneiderman also advocated
solution of industrial problems on a
national basis and said I'VE will no
longer accept an efficient tyranny for
sthe benefit of the few, but we must
'have a planned, orderly society for
.the we'll being of all, with decent liv-
,!ng standards and the right to work" {"

the realization from it would be de.
pendent on business policy rather thar
net income.
Victor H. Stempf, chairman of thu
Taxation Committee Of the American
Institute Of Accountants, proposed 9
means Of taxing undistributed profits
s"in more simple and more specific
FORM" which he said would "avoic
the entanglements inherent in the
House BILL
He questioned the advisability o
abandoning "the reliable revenue ane
.the reliable method of taxing cor.
iporate income, which has taken more
than 20 years to develop to a reason.
ably fixed and determinable basis"
The Accountants Institute proposed
as an alternative that present cor.
.poration taxes be retained, at in.
.creased rates if necessary, with q
Asupertax on undistributed income.
1t also urged lowering personal ex.
lemptlons from the income tax and q
higher normal income tax rate.
Yesterdays session brought sugges-
tions from some Democrats that a
major feature of the measure, a grad
uated tax on undistributed corpora
ton income, might be altered. There
was some sentiment for retaining the
present corporate tax structure and
superimpoSing mild levy on sur
pluses.
When Fred w. Sargent, Chicago
railroad men. was in the witness chair
opposing the bill, Senator Connally,
Democrat. Of Texas, inquired If he
would be more inclined to favor a
measure moderately increasing pres
ent corporation taxes, with the addi-
tion OF tax on reserves that would
be mot sufficient to wreck them but
to stimulate them"
Though expressing no views on this,
Sargent urged that means of revenue
other than those in the House bill be
found.
George o. May, former Treasury Of
f1cial and now with Price. Waterhouse
e. Co., public accountants, chal-
lenged Treasury estimates Of in
creased revenue from the BILL saying
present tax laws would bring in al
most as much. He said the new pro-
gram was hit or miss proposal and
was "unsound in principle"
May accused Secretary Morgenthau
of q "misstatement" in estimating
revenue before the committee. The
Treasury head. he said, included in
the total Of corporation profits which
would be withheld from distribution
the 100000, 900 which the Treasury
estimated would be collected in taxes
this year under the present law.
An amendment to the tax bill to
permit persons to take out tax-free
insurance to cover their estate taxes
was advocated by Lawrence A. Baker
for the National Association of Life
Underwriters. He argued the plan
would permit the Government to get
its money promptly without forcing
the liquidation of estates for taxes
T. w. Taliaferro Of Detroit, q meat
packer. opposed the proposal for a
windfall tax on refunded processing
taxes. He said the survival of his
firm and the jobs Of 500 employees
rested with Congress.
Paul ?. Cohen of Niagara Falls pro-
tested the proposal to impose a fiat
tax of 10 per cent on the income of
Canadians from investments in Amer
ican corporations

Stepin Fetchit, lackadaiSical
screen comedian, is heading the
all-star Hollywood Revue which
opened at the Howard Theater for
a weeks stand yesterday.
Fetchit, who is termed the
--LATEST man in the world" just
about lives up to that role in his
part of the show. He cleverly shows
the audience just how lazy man
can really be and gets away with
it in a big way. Included in his
routine of antics is some fancy tap
dancing. Just how he was able to
get his feet up no one in the audi
ence was able to solve.
With music by Doc Hyder and
his Philadelphia orchestra, the
show has other high spots that
are good. Struggle and Mitchell,
comic dancers, get away big as
