plus he has always replied that, In
dustry can take care OF it."
One Of Group Of Industrialists.
When Mr.. Ford went to the White
House late in 1929 he was one of a
group Of prominent industrialists sum-
moned by President Hoover. There
were Owen D. Young, Julius Rosen-
valid. Alfred P. Sloan, jr. and others.
Mr.. Ford apparently had decided upon
his course before going into the con-
ference, for when he came away he
handed waiting newsmen a prepared
statement outlining his ideas Of what
ce used the economic dislocation then
beginning. Nearly everything" he
said. has been too high priced"
He created something OF sensation
by announcing plans for a horizontal
wage increase in all his plants. It
was later, upon his return to his home
ONCE, that he announced the wage
increase would establish a 81 a day
minimum. The level was maintained
for nearly two years, but by 1892 1t
had been abandoned and the minimum
had dropped to "a a day.
Next to his intense interest in the
relationship between industry and ag-
riculture. Mr.. Ford has been deeply
absorbed in what he regards as q de-
fective money system"
Speaking on behalf Of Herbert
Hoover on October l9, 1882, he said:
THE next big job is to improve the
money system" Asserting that Con-
gress had "farmed out the money sys-
tenn to private hands," he said: Con-
gress should take back control of mon.
ey and give the United States . pub
lie service money. as opposed to a pri-
vate money system" He urged "a
money system managed as our rivers
and harbors are-for the promotion of
the peoples business"
Mr.. Ford Is known to have given
serious thought In recent months to
the possibility of applying an annual
wage plan to the motor car industry.
He indicated serious doubts, however,
= few weeks ago that It could be sue
cessfully implemented under present
conditions"

Playhouses have new managers.
Their programs are designed to create
national socialist points Of view" and
to instruct the people in good Ger
man literature"
Little Desire for Laughter.
Political developments seemed to
kill desire for entertainment. Some
Jewish-run theaters were temporarily
closed.
Foreign music students, among them
number Of Americans, seemed to
have stopped their lessons. They gave
as the reasons that their professors
were non-Aryans, and therefore had
no opportunity to obtain engagements
IN tho Vienna opera for them, or that
the political situation ended the feel

DETROIT, April % R.-Widely
separated as they may be in their ideas
of what is needed to recapture pros
perity, President Roosevelt and Henry
Ford will meet on friendly terms when
the 74-year-old industrialist goes to
the White House next week.
The meeting conceivably could de-
velop some sharp verbal exchanges II
the discussions revolved about policies
of the Roosevelt administration. But,
because they are to be centered on
efforts to work out a recovery pro-
gram-a subject close to Mr.. Ford's
heart-they are more than likely to
find these two men of widely divergent
economic PHILOSOPHERS cooperating to
a common end.
It will be Mr.. Fords first visit to
the White House since November 81,
1929, when he conferred with Presi-
dent Hoover. He emerged from that
meeting to announce plans for q wage
increase in all his plants as q step
designed to break through an eco
nomic stagnation that had begun to
make itself felt.
Never Criticized President
Because Of q feeling that many Of
the Roosevelt administrations major
acts have been aimed primarily at him
and his industrial empire, Mr.. Ford
has found little if anything to approve
in New Deal policies and legislation.
He opposed Mr.. Roosevelt's election in
1882 and again in 1896. Yet Mr.. Ford
personally never has criticized Presi-
dent Roosevelt or his part in the
framing Of legislation Mr.. Ford felt
detrimental to industrial recovery.
Don't quote me as saying anything
critical of the President" he once ad-
monished this writer.
Although an infrequent visitor to the
White House, Mr.. Ford has been ac-
quainted with every President during
the last three decades. He met Mr..
Roosevelt when the latter was Assist
ant Secretary Of the Navy during the
World War days. At the time the
Ford company was building eagle boats.
Il liked him." Mr.. Ford said bluntly
about that acquaintanceship.
Woodrow Wilson, while President,
persuaded Mr.. Ford to seek q sena-
torial nomination: Warren Harding
once Joined Mr.. Ford and Thomas A.
Edison on a vacation jaunt In the
woods. Mr.. Ford also was acquainted
with Calvin Coolidge, whom he sup
ported In the 1924 campaign.
Made Address for Hoover.
1t was with Herbert Hoover, how
ever. that he developed his closest
White House relationship. Mr.. Hoover
won Mr.. Ford's enthusiastic support
in the 1928 and 1882 election cam
paigns. Mr.. Ford made one OF his
exceedingly rare radio addresses in
Mr.. Hoover's behalf.

Estate Taxes in Dispute.
In addition to the amendment on
tax exemptions, the most important
House and Senate differences still
facing the conferees are those relating
to estate and gift taxes, liquor and
various other excise taxes, tax liability
Of corporations being liquidated and
tax liability Of transactions proceed
ing under orders Of the death SEN

ing Company Act.
Ultimate settlement of differences
In the first two classifications may be
decided finally on q basis Of revenue
yield. since the compromise Of Friday
on retaining the undistributed profits
tax with two important cushions"
was estimated to have cost some
$30.o0o.000 in potential revenue.

rison assured reporters that the bill
as finally reported back will be ade-
quate to raise the $500, ,OOO, 900

1ective will require restoration either
OF the liquor tax increase voted by
the House or the lowered exemptions

The liquor tax increase, from g to

mated as worth from $4,000, 900 to

Susan B. Anthony Painting
to Be Presented by Mrs.
Hend|ey.

A full-length portrait of Susan B
Anthony, famed woman suffragette,
will climax a varied life of hanging
In headquarters of suffrage groups,
languishing in storage, and sale at
public auction when it is unveiled at
8 am. May in the Woodrow Wilson
High School. an institution named for
the President who signed the consti-
tutional amendment for which Miss
Anthony fought.
More than 1000 students are ex-
pected to be in attendance when Mrs.
Anna E. Hendley well-known local
suffragette and former associate Of
Miss Anthony, presents the picture to
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, president
Of the Board of Education who will
then present it to Norman Nelson,
principal of the school.
Senator Capper to Speak.
Principal speaker on the occasion
will be Senator Arthur Capper of
Kansas.
Painted by the artist Jerome K. Uhl,
the picture hung for long time in
the Anthony room of the National
American Woman Suffrage League
headquarters on Rhode Island avenue.
When this building was abandoned
the picture was placed in storage and
some years later Mrs. Hendley was no.
titled that it was to be sold at auction.
After successfully persuading the auc-
tioneer to postpone the sale for a week,
Mrs. Hendley rose from q sick bed
and canvassed for funds to pay for the
portrait. There was $50 storage bill
against it.
Made Speech at Auction.
Armed with SIS which she had
managed to raise, Mrs. Hendley went
to the auction to save her old friends
portrait, and when the item came up
made speech that 50 impressed some
patrons of the auction that they made
up the difference in voluntary contri-
buttons.
The picture was donated to the Ma
tional League Of Women Voters after
the dissolution of the Susan B. An
thony League, of which Mrs. Hendley
was many times president.
When the Voters League moved to
new headquarters on jackson place, the
ceilings were not high enough to ac-
commodate the painting and it was
again placed in storage until, as Mrs.
Hendley expressed it, Il got the bee
in my bonnet about giving it to
Woodrow Wilson High School," It
was then given back to her to present
to the school.
