Spotlight OF Investigations Publicity

to the first meeting Of the joint

SPREADING OF
WEALTH GOAL
FOR new deal
President Voices For First
Time Hopes Of Second
Administration

WaSHlNGTON, June 10. (UP)
President Roosevelt last night
pledged his second New Deal to a
far-flung social-economic reform
program designed to increase the
national income and stimulate
business by spreading more of the
country's wealth among 100000
600 "ill-nourished, ill-clad and i'll
housed" citizens.
The new policy, he told news
paper men at a press conference.
will not necessitate an overhaul
ing of the federal tax structure
and does not contemplate discrim-
inatory taxes against the rich to
help the poor. Business men, he
said, will share in the prosperity
which he expects will follow a
more equitable distribution of the
nations wealth.
1t was the first time since his
reelection that the chief execu-
tive has outlined the major objec-
tive Of his second term although
he repeatedly has emphasized that
the federal government must share
in the responsibility of caring for
the millions at the bottom of the
economic ladder.
He gave the reporters only a
brief "peek" behind the scenes of
how he hopes to achieve his new
objective and promised that full
details would be given to the
country in "fireside" chat or at
a press conference later in the
summer.
Meantime, the president broke
his silence on the current steel
strikes. He did not mention any
names, but advanced a series Of
questions on the refusal of the
steel masters to sign contract
with the Clio and expressed hope
that the strike situation would be
Strengthened out soon. Likewise
he told the reporters that he and
the people want the supreme court
reorganization bill.
Two starts already have been
made toward achieving the new
objective of the second New Deal,
Mr.. Roosevelt said in explaining
how he expected to gain his goal.
He listed them as the maximum
hour and minimum wage bill, now
being considered by joint con-
gressional committee, and bene-
fits granted under the Social Sc
curity Act.
Social security benefits, Presi-
dent Roosevelt said, may be ex-
tended. They include unemploy-
ment insurance benefits. old age
pensions, old age annuities and
aid to the crippled, the blind and
to dependent children. These
grants reach out to millions Of
needy and to millions Of others
who face the sunset Of life in a
distressed financial condition.
The spearhead of the attack in
this direction would be the new
general welfare department which
the president asked congress to
create in the government reorgan-
ization bill.
As he explained his spread.
the-wealth" plan, the president
wants to increase the national in
come-how much he did not say
by forcing more dollars into the
hands of the under-privileged.
These persons, he reasons, will
lead a happier life and in turn
will spend the money which will
stimulate business.
The national income was esti-
mated at S70,000,000,000 for
1887, an increase Of $7,000,000,-
900 over 1885. The national debt
will approach $50, 000,0 900 by
the end of the current fiscal year

FOR HIS ATTITUDE

WASHINGTON, June rs. (UP)
Postmaster General James \. Far

Federal Judge James NJ. Proctor

brought by the Republic Steel
Corp, to compel postal deliveries
of food, clothes and other articles
To the company'S Strikc-bound
plants.
Postal officials at Warren and
Niles, Ohio. recently rejected as
irregular" and refused to han
die packages addressed TO steel
workers in Republic plantS. Their
action was upheld by Assistant
Postmaster General w. w. HOwcS
on the ground that delivery of the
packages would have impcrillCd
the lives of postal workers.
Republic officials protested Wig
orously to Farley and volunteered
to permit their workers To be dep
utized to see that the mail goes
through" Farley did not reply.
John S. BrookcS, Jr" local at
torncy for the corporation, said
after filing yesterdays action:
Having waited a week for a
reply TO our letter of June Sth 10
Mr.. Farley, and having received
none. we have no recourse but to
resort To such legal action as is
available to us under the oircum-
stances involved

bring witnesses before it in con-
nection with a resolution by Rep.

ing for a congressional invcStlga-
ton of the incident. HowcS, I'm
testifying before the committee
last week. said that if he were
postmaster general he would not
permit postal workers to enter the
struck plants or other zones OF
danger.
Farley has made no publ state
ment thus far.
Brookes' suit was for writ of
mandamus directing the poStmaS-
ter general to withdraw unofficial
promulgations with respect to 'ir-
regular" mail. The corporation
seeks by the writ to force Farley
to instruct postmasters at Niles
and Warren to accept all parcel
most packages for delivery ut the
Republic plants in those cities.
