DRAIN ON BRAINS
SEEN FOR RACE
Zoologist Favors Pay for
Rearing of Children in
Intelligent Groups.

The human race is breeding out
Its brains," DR.. Samuel j. Holmes,
professor Of zoology At the University
Of California, told the Conference on
the Conservation and Development Of
Human Resources meeting here today.
This is coming about, he said,
through the practical sterility" Of the
more intelligent strata Of society.
which is due in turn to the economic
and biological factors involved in life
in cities.
As one way out, he advocated that
the state pay families for rearing chill
dren. with some form of discrimina-
| ton in favor OF the more intelligent.
A somewhat similar device has been
adopted in both Germany and Italy,
| he explained, to check the fall in
| birth rate so that these nations can
be assured of an adequate man power.
While the balance might be re-
| stored, DR.. Holmes stressed, by ex-
tension Of knowledge Of birth-control
methods to the rural populations and
less intelligent city populations, this
would result in a birth rate so low
that all would eventually become ex-
tinct together"
Proposals for Federal health insur-
ance for wage earners and q spirited
attack on the opposition of the vested
interests" of medicine were made yes
terday afternoon before the Conference
by DR.. John A. Kingsbury of New
York, former secretary of the Millbank

Such health insurance, he said.
should have been included in the
Social Security Act 1t would have
been, he said, IF the social workers
and others concerned with the welfare
OF the people of America had been
organized to serve their cause with
half the zeal with which the American
Medical Association served its vested
interests in sickness
DR.. Kingsbury said he was confident
President Roosevelt could be counted
on to bring this country into line
with the most advanced nations of the
world in the matter Of the conserva-
tion Of health" and, he continued
battles must be fought with those
vested interests which fatten on sick
ness and the plights of suffering hu-
manity.'

Hits McKellar Proviso.
Questioned about the Mcclellan
amendment to the independent Offices
appropriation bill. calling for con-
firmation by the Senate of all Federal
officials receiving salary of $1,000 or
more, the President spoke disparag-
ingly of the proposal. He said he did
not see any more reason for the Sem
ate's confirming those who receive $5,-
900 than confirming those who receive
$4,000 or $4,000. He said he did not
object if the Senate wanted to confirm
all these people and all the scrub
women. The Mckellar amendment
has been attacked as patronage
move The Presidents contention is
that the Senate should be called upon
to confirm only those officials who hold
policy-making jobs.

The House fight over the admins

tered today on q proposed new levy
on corporations owned by families or
few individuals.
Republicans who have denounced
the legislation in its entirety had the
open support of some Democrats in
their opposition to this provision.
Democrats who spoke for the bill
during hours and 81 minutes of
debate yesterday concentrated notice.
ably on arguments in favor of the levy
"a 20 per cent surtaX. after certain
deductions, on closely-held firms whose
income exceeds $4,000.
Emphasizes Purpose.
Pounding his points home with loud
hand claps. Representative Vinson,
Democrat, of Kentucky contended the
purpose of the tax was to obtain ap-
proximately the same amount of rev.
enue from a closely-held corporation
as from comparable firm having
wide stock ownership.
THE tax is not the bugbear. not the
horrible thing, that's been held up to
you" he said
Leading the campaign against the
levy was Representative Mccormack,
Democrat, of Massachusetts,. who was
preparing reply to Mr. Wilson's
arguments.
Demands for outright repeal of the
undistributed profits levy. which would
be modified considerably by the bill
appeared to be source of less worry
to proponents of the legislation.
They did not reply when Repre-
sentative Reed, Republican. of New
York asserted yesterday that few
men who a pulling the strings behind
the scenes" were insisting on its re-
tention
Mr. Reed declared those individuals
regard the levy as the first step lin a
planned economy program by which
the industries of the Nation will be
fully dominated and controlled by the
Government"
Declared Tax Haven.
A new note entered the debate when
Representative Voorhis. Democrat, of
California called for elimination of
tax exemption for Federal, State and
municipal securities, which he de-
scribed as tax haven for the wealthy
The House will not reach a vote on
the measure until next week. after

ing high salaries to their officials
who own the corporations. may say
that they cannot afford to improve
working conditions and to pay better
wages. the President said. when &C.
tually they were making large amounts
OF money. He said also that COM
what these closely held companies
are making.
There is no reason for the repeal"
said the President. 1T is a question
Of morals"
The President was asked whether
he believed that there should be pub
lication of income taxes. He pointed
out that they are not public today
and that he didn't care one way or
the other.
The President denied that congress
sional leaders had told him at a
White House conference that a wages
and hours bill could not be passed at
this session.
While he was discussing the OBJ
1ectives of his administration. the
President referred newspaper men to
the statement he had made on June
7. 1885. to Robert Cromie. editor of
the Vancouver Sun. At that time
he said:
"The social objective, I should say.
remains Just what it was. which is
to do what any honest government
Of any country would do; to try to
increase the security and the happi-
ness of a larger number of people in
all occupations of life and in all
parts of the country; to give them
more of the good things of life; to
give them a greater distribution, not
only of wealth in the narrow terms,
but of wealth in the wider terms; to
give them places to go in the summer
time-recreation: to give them as
s,itance that they are not going to
starve in their old age; to give honest
business chance to 60 ahead and
make a reasonable profit, and to give
every one a chance to make living"
Continuing his discussion the Pres
ident said: I'VE have accomplished
an enormous amount. Through the
Crop Surplus Control Act we will
hold up the purchasing power of the
farmers"
He added this Is "all to the good for
the industrial worker" 1t is only re-
Gently. he said. he had been able to
get industrialists to admit this.
Too many people. the President said,
confuse objectives with methods. As
an example. he said that year ago
the administration. fearing a period
OF imitation, had put the helm of the
ship of state hard astarboard, to pre-
vent the ship from leaving her course.
Last autumn, he said, the wind shifted,
and the administration had shifted
the helm to hard aport. This, he said,
was done to keep the ship of state on
its course. Yet many call this change
In policy. said the President
The President said that one of the
principal objectives of the administra-
ton was to increase the purchasing
power Of the people. He said that

high character. came to see him he
