FDR to Plug Tax
Evasion Loop Holes
Small Group of Wealthy Persons
Defraud Government of
Millions of Dollars

President Roosevelt Friday told
news men of plans to seek legisla-
ton to deal effectively with wealthy
income tax dodgers. He said he
would ask Congress at the present
session to enact legislation to check
what he termed both evasion and
avoidance of income taxes running
into millions by small group of
wealthy persons.
The Treasury department had re-
ported to him, he said, glazing eva
sions and avoidances which had
raised an important moral issue, and
that there was no question of the
need of additional legislation to plug
loopholes.
Treasury officials earlier Friday
had disclosed they were already
planning legal action against scores
of large taxpayers. Civil proceedings
would be undertaken in some cases,
they said. In other cases fraud prose-
cutions would be recommended to
the Department of Justice.

U. S. Court Upholds
Compensation Act

Raleigh, June LIN the face of
euu9IdnS 10 Y97M lseI uo!u!do 9ql
Court of the United States that the
Federal law and the supplementary
State laws providing for Unemploy-
ment Compensation are constitution
al, the North Carolina Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commission can
now 60 ahead with it's work of
bringing all eligible employers I'M
der the act, Chairman Charles c..
Powell said.
While the element of uncertainty
continued, we hesitated to push cases
against few employers who were
holding off in making their pay
ments on the ground that the act
might be held unconstitutional,
Chairman Powell said. ''That uncer-
tainty no longer exists and we can
now move forward in our longtime
plan for the organization. Some of
the larger employers paid the con-
tributions under protest, but those
protests now have no standing. We
shall now 60 ahead with collections
from the few who have delayed in
the hope or belief that the act
would be thrown out. We appreciate
the position of such employers, but
we now expect them to join in hear
tily in helping to protect their
workers who may later become un-
EMPLOYED" Chairman Powell said.

10000 Employees in
Steel Labor Strike
Ford Motor Company Target for
Strikers; 10000 Employed
By Ford Motor Co.

Thousands of pickets paraded late
in the week before many steel mills
in five States made suddenly quiet
Wednesday by strikes in the midst
of near capacity production period.
With 10000 workers on strike at
mills of three big independent steel
corporations, a charge by Homer
Martin, president of the United Au-
tomobile Workers, that paid thugs
had beaten unionists attempting to
organize employees of the Ford Motor
company, added new ammunition
Thursday night to the battle be-
tween labor and capital.
Ford's plants, led by the Dearborn
factory with 10000 workers, employ
100000 persons scattered over the
nation and produce nearly Is per
cent of the nations automobiles.
Martin made his charge at Detroit
after an investigation of Wednes-
days riot at the gates of the Rouge
plant, in which 18 persons were in
jured.
Governor Martin L. Davey of
Ohio moved Thursday night for ne
gotiations in the steel strike after a
peace overture by the steel workers
organizing committee went unan-
swered at a meeting of steel execu-
tives in New York.
Violence flared in the seven
weeks-old strike at the Robert Jill
Dress factory at New Albany, Ind.
Women pulled hair and tore clothes
as five workers sought to pierce
picket lines.
Mexico faced a walkout of $4,000
oil workers, who had promise of
support from the Confederation of
Workers of Mexico, set for Thursday
midnight. Movement of oil was vir-
tually halted hours in advance of
the deadline.

REGARDLESS of the final amount of
the relief bill now pending in Con-
gress, and regardless of the method
finally approved for the distribution
of relief funds, the current legisla-
tive battles over this measure are
certain to influence virtually all
legislation during the present session
of Congress. Thus an understanding
of the basic issues in these battles in
the House and Senate are desirable
for those following the course of this
and other legislation.
At the outset, the President re-
commended a total of $1,500,000,0 900
for various relief activities. This
amount was promptly challenged.
Some members of the Congress IA
vored doubling that amount and
others sought drastic slash There
fore, the early stages of the con-
traversy over the relief bill was
marked by differences of opinion
between those seeking larger relief
funds and those advocating strict
economy and balanced budget.
AS the measure finally emerged
from the House Committee, it carri-
ed the full amount recommended by
the President, and represented
compromise in the House between
advocates of spending and those
seeking drastic slashes in relief
funds. It is significant that rstong
supporters of the President are
found enlisted with both groups.
However, when the bill reached
the floor of the House, considerable
sentiment was found for "ear-mark-
ing" large sums-that is, writing in
to the bill Congressional decree as
to how certain monies are to be ex-
pended. 1t was promptly contended
that this would defeat the purpose
of the relief bill by rendering it i'm
possible for those administering re-
lief to meet new emergencies as they
may come. An intensive battle over
this issue is in progress in the House
as this article is being written.
Nevertheless, the significance of
the controversy can be grapsed. 1t
boils down to an oft-repeated ques
ton. Do the great majority of our
people want more relief and the
prospect of more taxes, or do they
want a real beginning toward econ
omy? After all, only voters and tax
payers should decide that question
and the Congress is anxious for the
decision.
Of course, it is comparatively easy
to find the sentiment of particular
sections of the country and particu-
lar states. But what is NEEDED is facts
as to what procedure is best for our
people as whole 1t is differences
of opinion on that score that under
lies the current legislative skirm-
ishes.
One of the most hopeful signs is
the fact that our citizens are more
and more realizing the fact that in
creasing expenditures require in
creasing revenue. We cannot spend
and economic at the same time. We
can not build large public works in
one section of the country and tell
another section that funds are not
available for their public works.
And, as the Congress tries to strike
a happy medium as summer ap-
proaches in Washington, and men,
bers of Congress dig in for another
three months of sessions it is apDar-
ent that final action on the relief
bill may offer key to the whole
legislative situation.

\ where and the admonitions of
the United States Post Office Depart
ment we are likely to wait until the
last minute to complete Christmas
plans--too late to keep all the resolu-
tions made during the more leisurely
hours of summer. You can really en-
joy your Christmas holidays and spread
your Christmas cheer farther if you
start making plans now and begin in
earnest to make your Christmas gifts
at home. The gift you have planned
and made yourself if appreciated far
more than one picked up at the last
minute.
The big advantage in making
Christmas gifts at home, now, is of
course the fact that you enjoy sub
stantial economies and can include
many more names on your list OF those
to be remembered.
The robe is a classic type and for
this reason greatly preferred. Active
young women spurn any fussiness
about warm utility robe. Pattern
1924-B is as neatly tailored as a mans
suit-wide lapels. deeply notched, and
four roomy pockets. Make it up in
flannel, sheer wool, rayon taffeta or
satin-back crepe. Choose the color
that is most becoming to the girl who
is to wear it and make this her very
merriest Christmas.
