~ the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt settled down
today to putting his congressional
program in shape.
He arranged to devote most of his
time before the special session begins
November Is to conferences with
House and Senate leaders and to pre-
pairing his opening address.
Among his conferees probably will
be Senator Borah, Republican, of
Idaho, who will discuss antitrust leg
blation-one of the five points on the
Presidents program.
Congressional committees. already
preparing for the session, have been
working largely on two subjects likely
TO ngure In much Of the debate-crop
control and tax revision.
Preparation of farm legislation has
stirred up an argument between those
who want to compel regulation of
production and those. who favor a vol
untary program. President Roose-
Velt has not disclosed his views.
Campaign for Tax Revision.
The Chief Executive did not list tax
revision on the special session program.
but a widespread campaign has de-
veloped, both in and out of Congress.
70 modify quickly the corporate un-
distributed profits tax.
A viewpoint held by many legislators
was carried to the White House YES
terday by Senator Byrnes, Democrat.
OF South Carolina. After a talk with
the President, Byrnes told reporters
the corporate tax should be modified
or replaced. He said it hurt small
business and did not produce sufficient
revenue.
senator Byrd. Democrat, of Virginia,
one OF the leading foes of the tax
when it first was enacted, returned to
the Capital today ready to join in the
war on the levy
prospects for approving Government
reorganization at the special session.
another of the Presidents five points
were enhanced by Byrnes' word that
ne would ask to substitute it for farm
legislation as the first business in the
senate. He is in charge of the re-
organization bill.
Tax Legislation Situation.
Both House and Senate have voted
TO give priority to farm legislation. but
1t appeared unlikely the Senate Agri-
culture Committee would have a bill
ready until the House passes its meas
ure.
The future of the wage-hour bill
fourth of the measures outlined by the
President-still was uncertain. After
passing the Senate last year it became
1ammed in the House Rules Committee.
Some legislators have proposed re-
vising it in the Labor Committee.
There also have been rumors the ad-
ministration might propose an entirely
new bill.
Senator Norris, independent. of Ne
braska has returned to aid in the fight
for his regional planning bill, fifth item
on the Presidents program.

Mrs. Norton also opposed proposals
that owners of property affected by
the bill be paid as "an unprecedented
step" It would be, in effect" she said,
"a price paid by legislative body to
individuals under its Jurisdiction for
the privilege of exercising the police
power residing in that legislative body.
It would be a step which would do
violence to the very essence Of the
police power, for it assumes that de-
spite the fact that q legislative body
has determined that the interests Of
the community at large require the
passage Of a bill under the police
power, the interests Of certain affected
