Answer: If taken early enough

be restored to normal by exercises.
Anv oculist is familiar with the
technique. It is routine practlce

AID OF ROOSEVELT
ASKED IN DAM PLAN
Randolph, Lewis Say Project
Across Savage Would Help
Potomac.

President Roosevelt's support in
obtaining funds to pay for build
ing dam across the Savage River,
tributary to the Potomac, between
Piedmont, w. Va, and Westernport,
Md, was sought today by Representa-
tives Randolph of West Virginia and
Lewis of Maryland.
These Representatives pointed out
that such dam would solve a num-
Der Of problems existing along the
Potomac and would provide an even
flow OF water in the Potomac at all
times. The War Department made
survey several years ago and the
cost was of such a project was esti-
mated at 81 100000, but recent sur
vey by Army Engineers caused them
to revise this estimate to total 81
100000. 1t was pointed out that this
increase in the cost was due to the
possibility of floods, such As have
been experienced recently.
The President indicated interest in
the subject, but made no promise
other than that he would give it
his personal study.

its present power of pre-audit as is
proposed in the presidential reorgani-

organization Committee today starts
Today hearing.
The new figures substantiate Sem
ator Byrd's original charge that the
budget allotment was sl,50O,0OO for
construction of $50 home units for
mountain people, known as Shenan-
doah homesteads, with the actual cost
$4,000 to $4,000 each He complained
not only of gross extravaganza but
OF the complete impracticability of
the whole scheme. Secretary Wallace
insisted that the cost would be $685.
600 and that the new units would
cost no more than s3,755. He re-
fused to suspend work as requested by
the Senator.
Senator Byrd quoted 'the unbiased
figures of the General Accounting
Office, which shows that it is pro-
posed to spend S1.384l36.8l on these
homesteads and on top of this he
found another fund of $l50.0O0 in the
hands OF the F. E. R. A. to provide
homes for the same mountain people
Hits Presidents Plan.
Arguing for preservation of the
General Accounting Office as an inde-
pendent organization responsible only
to Congress, the Virginia Senator
said
The fact that have received con-
Trajectory financial reports from the
Resettlement Administration and the
General Accounting Office strengthens
my belief that the independence of
this office should not be impaired by
the passage of the legislation now
pending"
Senator Byrd emphasized that his
original estimate of cost for the
Shenandoah project was based on $50
home units. This number has now
been reduced to 175-any yet his
original cost estimate is fully substan-
tlated. The G. A. o. report shows
that after thorough audit of ex-
penditures and allotments the cost
per unit will be s7,9O9.35" Adding the
F. E. R. A. fund of $1500O0 to the
1884, 1861 resettlement allotments
gave a total of $1,534, 1861.
The F. E. r. A. funds he found
are being expended on the basis of
$500 per family under the State We'll
fare Department, and the Senator
comments that here is an instance
where State agency is spending $500
for the same service which is costing
the Federal agency 10 times as much.

CELLER BATTLES

New York Democrat Calls
for Repeal of Levy as
Unfair.

Declaring the Federal capital gains
and losses tax helps produce bigger
booms and deeper depressions. Rep
resentative Celler. Democrat. of New
York, in letter to Treasury Secre-
tary Morgenthau last night, called for
repeal
The Treasury is engaged in study
OF the tax structure, preparatory to
making recommendations for revision
to the President, and Celler's COM
munlcation is due to be studied in this
connection.
The New York Representative said
his condemnation OF the tax was based
on consultation with scores of ex-
perts, manufacturers. merchants and
other taxpayers" He outlined 10
SPECIFIC objections to it.
Pointing out that net capital gains
are considered as part of taxable in
come, but that net capital losses are
not considered at all, Celler said:
This short sighted tax forces capi-
tai to lie idle. 1t restricts and hinders
both individuals and corporations from
selling capital assets and transferring
their funds to more productive enter
prise. 1t is especially harmful in
that it keeps capital funds out OF
new enterprises. Why start new
business when any gains made will
be taxed, but no allowances made for
any losses?"

amendments he has proposed. Walsh
outlined the changes as follows:
l. Making Federal loans and grants
conditional on local housing authori-
ties presenting slum clearance pro-
gram along with new housing projects
2. Raising the interest rate on loans
TO limited dividend corporations from
2a4 to AZ per cent.
3. Limiting the tenants in the houses
constructed to those whose income is
less than three times the rent rather
than the fve-time limitation now in
the bill.
Senator Borah. Republican. of Ida
ho asked Wagner what he believed to
be the cause of slums.
Low Incomes Blamed.
The New Yorker replied that the
fundamental difficulty" was the low
income Of families living in slums.
IF overnight We could increase the
income of the families by fair dis
tribution of wealth, we wouldn't have
this problem at ALL" he siad
Borah said he was not speaking
IN opposition to the bill, but he ex-
pressed the opinion little could be
done to solve the problem until the
income of slum dWellers was increased.
CWagner's bill would authorize loans
and outright contributions to pub
lie housing agencies for construction
of low-rent dwelling units and the
eradication of slums. 1t would pro-
vide bond issue of $700,000,0OO over
the next three years and an initial
appropriation of s26,00O,O0
The United States Chamber OF
Commerce, criticlzing the bill, said
Government-subsid housing as
permanent policy would inevitably
have demoralizing effects upon sound

habilitate and rebuild blighted and
BLUM areas
After a vote on the Wagner bill,
the Senate will take up the non-con-
troEerslal court procedure bill.
Little opposition was expected un-
less someone should attempt to re-
vive the original Supreme Court re-
organization program. There were
reports of such move, but no con-
flrnation.
Senator Minton, Democrat, of
Indiana, one of the leading reorgani-
zation advocates, has announced he
will offer an amendment to require

If administration leaders should
support it, opposition Senators ex-
pected revival of the old court battle
which was sidetracked by recomr1it-
tai Of the original bill. Some ad-

agreed with the foes that all Supreme
Court legislation was out.
