IS
CALLED ON TO
DEFEAT BILL
Is Denounced AS Tending
to Undermine Consti-
tutional System !
TAKES 4 MONTHS TO
GET 1T ON CALENDAR

WASHINGTON, June Ia. (UP)
The Senate Judiciary Committee
today called on Congress to de-
feat the Roosevelt Supreme Court
reorganization program so empha-
tically that it's parallel will never
again be presented to the Ameri-
can people. The committees ma
jority presented an unfavorable
report, denouncing the bill as
tending to undermine the consti-
tutional system and breaking
down safeguards against autocra-
tic dominance.
The court reorganization bill
went on the Senate calander to-
oay, more than four months after
its introduction, with a judiciary
committee report Of condemnation
that is expected to lead to the Bit
terest floor fight of the current
session.
The adverse report, signed by
the 10 anti-administration mem-
bers Of the l8-man committee,
was drafted by subcommittee
headed by Senator William H.
King, d., Utah, and was ready for
introduction when the Senate met
at noon. 1t is expected to empha-
size all the arguments against the
plan for adding new Supreme
court justices that have developed
during the months of controversy
which has split the Senate into
two almost evenly divided fac
tions.
Committee members said the
report was about 10000 words in
length and contained no hint Of
compromise. Administration lead
ers are actively seeking a substi-
tute for the Presidents plan
which will will attract enough
votes from the small group of un-
decided senator's to insure passage
of measure salvaging as much as
possible of the original program.
Once on the Senate calendar
the bill may be called up at any
time by unanimous consent, but
one objection would block con-
sideration. 1t might, however, be
made the pending order of busi-
mess by majority vote. Majority
Leader Joe T. Robinson, D., Ark,
is not expected to call the bill up
until he feels sure Of adequate
support for a compromise mea-
sure.
Compromise plans center about
an amendment by Senator Carl
A. Hatch, D., N. NJ, spreading out
enlargement Of the court by linn
iting new appointments to one a
year. Hatch, one of the members
who signed the anti-administra-
ton report, reserve the right to
vote for his own bill as a substi-
tute.

FACING
EARLY TESTS
IN CONGRESS
Status of Administrations
Program And Likely
Outcome Reviewed

WASHINGTON, June Ia. -
(UP)-President Roosevelt faces
q test of strength in the senate
this week over the revised 81 ,500,-
100000 wOrk-relief bill which
proposes to "crack down" on debt
free communities which shift the
financial burden Of caring for
their distressed citizens to the
federal treasury.
Over the sharp opposition Of
WPA Administrator Harry L..
Hopkins the senate appropriations
committee approved an amend
ment to the bill which would force
local communities to advance 40
per cent Of the money going into
Il works project initiated in their
district. The restriction would be-
come effective on projects author
lied after September 80.
Paul V. Betters, executive di-
rector of the United States Con-
ference of Mayors, described the
action as "most startling"
Facing the situation realistic
ally, it would mean the collapse
of the presidents present relief
policy" he said. "To be strictly
technical, it would mean the abb
rogation of a contract and pledge
entered into by the cities and
states with the federal govern
ment. Apparently relief has been
disposed of overnight as a ma
rional problem.
Betters contended that the
cities and states have not only
borne their share Of the "con-
tract" but have assumed a por-
tion of the responsibility which
the federal government itself
said it would assume" by contri-
buting about 16 per cent OF WA
cost.
Federal statistics show that in
the past, communities have ad-
yanced an average Of only 13 per
cent of the cost of WPA con-
struction. Hopkins pleaded with
the group not to impose the 4O
per cent limitation and said he
had plans to increase local con-
tributions to 20 or 22 per cent
of the total cost. ..
The committee disregarded his
argument, however, and voted 10
to 10 in favor of the higher con-
tribution embraced in an amend
ment by Sen. James F. Byrnes,
D., S. c. Those voting "no" and
the average contribution from
their states to WPA projects
were: Sens. Kenneth Mcclellan,
D., Tenn, 26.6 per cent; Carl
Hayden, D., Ariz., 20.5; Elmer
Thomas, D., Okla, 1913; John Il.
Overton, D., La, SO; Joseph q.

To Offest Court Reversals
'Camouflage' Treasury
Errors, Is Said
By ARTHUR F. DeGREVE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June Id. (UP)
President Roosevelt was accused
by the Tax Research Institute OF
America, Inc. last night of de-
manding a congressional expose
of wealthy tax dodgers in order
to cover 'losS of face" suffered
through rcversals to his supreme
court and government reorganiza-
ton programs.
Also, the institute said, Presi-
dent Roosevelt is seeking through
the forthcoming inquiry to cam
outage" the treasury's error in
computing estimated revenue in
the 1887 fiscal year and failure of
the undiStributcd profits tax to
drive income into taxable hands.
The institute forecast these re-
suits of the inquiry:
l. An intensive drive against
taxpayers in the higher brackets.
2. Curtailment of foreign per-
sonal holding corporations.
3. Sharply increased taxes on
nonresident aliens.
4. Retention of the undistribdt-
ed corporate profits tax.
5. Consideration Of a most
drastic" change in the revenue
act which would require all cor
porations distributing dividends to
withhold a portion of the divi-
dends for transmission directly to
the treasury. This would elimi-
nate the treaSury's worry about
securing the tax on dividends
from the individual.
The institute is the largest or
ganization of it's kind in America.
ii lists among it's 1000 members
some of the nations outstanding
industrial and professional fig
ures. In a statement issued last
night it Joined with President
Roosevelt in castigating tax evad-
ers but pointed out that it would
not be difficult to plug loopholes
i'm the revenue act to meet the
situation outlined by the chle1
executive in his recent message
to congress. -,
The institute noted reports that
the government planned to insti-
tute 500 fraud actions and then
pointed out that an average 2oo
such suits are brought each year,
"without ballyhoo." The amount
| the treasury will recover, the IN
stitute predicted, "will not off
set its error in estimating tax
receipts" -,
at must appear. therefore, that
the tax evasion scare is merely
a camouflage to recaptnre the
presidents sharp loss in public
adulation.
Meantime, congress prepared to
turn the glare of publicity upon
rich tax dodgers. Vice President
John N. Garner named the SIX
senator's who will sit with six
members of the house on the
