N.L.R.B. Checks
apparent Leak
In Its Decisions

Officials of the National Labor Re-
lations Board are making a quiet
check, it was learned today, into the
sources of apparent information on
decisions in advance of actual release
by the board.
The charge that such advance in
formation has been made available
to labor sources was made yesterday
in the House by Representative Hoff-
man, Republican, of Michigan. Ac-
cording to him publications having a
tie-up with the Committee for In
dQstrial Organization were given ad-
vance information on the nature of
decisions by the board in two cases.
His Interpretation of the incidents
was that &C. l. o. spy" is in the en-
ploy of the board.
An even more important instance
of advance release of board findings
appeared in connection with business
publication, when Business Week pub
lished a summary of the decision
handed down several days later In the
Inland Steel case.
Seeking to determine whether these
instances actually were the result Of
advance information or merely of va
rious accurate speculation, board OFF,
cials today were studying the pub
lshed articles. In the event it Is de-
cided that actual information has
been released in advance of the in
tended date further check on sources
close to the board will be made.

A high administration official said
today that President Roosevelt had
decided to appoint John w. HaneS
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
but it was not known whether Mr.
Hanes would accept the position.
Mr.. Hanes. a former Wall Street
broker and now a securities and ex-
change commissioner. would say only
that he "contemplates no change" "
He was expected to discuss the ap-
pointment at the White House today,
with either Mr.. Roosevelt or presi-
Dental secretary.
Although three Assistant Secretaries
are authorized for the Treasury, there
now are only two. They are Wayne
c. Taylor and Stephen Gibbons. The
other assistant was Miss Josephine
Roche of Colorado, who resigned sew
eral months ago to re-enter the mining
business.
1t was understood that should Mr..
Hanes 60 to the Treasury he would
be assigned duties in connection with
fiscal operations rather than super
vision over such agencies as the Health
Service. which Miss Roche handled.

Hanes has devoted himself to bring

COMMITTEE BACKS
F. C. C. QUIZ FUND
Senate Group Acts-House Unit
Is Scheduled to Begin
Hearings Today.

A congressional inquiry into the af-
fairs of the Federal Communications
Commission appeared nearer today as
the result of the action Of the Senate
Committee of Audit and Control in
favorably reporting resolution carry
ing an appropriation of $4,000 to
finance such an investigation. The
House Rules Committee was scheduled
to begin open hearings today on a
similar resolution.
Meanwhile, Commissioner George
Henry Payne of the F. c. c. made pub
lie two letters from prominent clergy
men supporting his efforts to bring
about an investigation and prevent
what is claimed to be the formulation
of monopoly in broadcasting. The
letters came from the Rev. Maurice s..
Sheehy of Catholic University and
Rabbi Stephens S. Wise of New York.
Rabbi Wise declared radio officials
wanted to monopolize radio so they
could mold public opinion.
Your vigorous protests against the
organized campaign to extend the
term of licenses is in keeping with your
record in attempting to exclude pro-
grams which violate the religious or
moral sensibilities Of our people,"
Father Sheehy wrote.
Another letter from Joy Elmer
Morgan, editor of the National Educa-
ton Association of the United States,
called attention to what he said was
the widening campaign Of the radio
monopolies to entrench themselves be-
yond the power of the Government to
control.

RELIEF CHANGES
SOUGHT BY C.|.0 0.
House Progressives Meet to
Consider Labor Arguments
for Amendments

Support for three amendments tc
the pending relief appropriation bills
was being sought by the Committee for
Industrial Organization and Labor s
Non-Partisan League at a quietly ar
ranged meeting of House ProgreSsives
this afternoon, it was learned today.
In brief, the amendments follow:
/. That the Works Progress fund
now set at sl,25O,OOO,0O in the bill
should be increased by another $780,
100000. This extra sum, it was esti-
mated, would provide 100000 jobs and
would allow for the period of two or
three months required to get the heav-
ier public works program under way.
2. That the qualification Of need be
removed in connection with making
jobs available under the revived
w. P. A. Instead, the qualification
would merely be unemployment, abil-
ity to work and inability to find
privately financed employment. Pref
erence still would be given to needy
cases under the proposed amendment,
but others would not be shut out auto
matically.
3. That alien unemployed must file
intention to take out citizenship
papers, but that the specifications
that such intention be disclosed be-
fore the date of passage Of the appro-
priation measure should be removed.
1t was understood that a caucus
of some of those supporting these
amendments would be held late today
with the intention of comforting with
administration leaders on the pros
poets of acceptance of the changes.
The bill is expected to be opened
for amendments tomorrow.

TAX RELIEF BILL
IS Up IN. HOUSE
$4,000, 900, O,0CO Revision
Measure Comes Up for
Final Approval.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The $4,000 ,000, coo tax revision bill
designed TO ease some of the levies
winch business has called oppressive,
came before the House today for final
congressional approval.
The compromise measure, already
| agreed to by the Senate. retains only
a veStige Of the widely criticized un-
distributed profits tax and revamps
the present system of capital gains
levies.
In the aggregate it imposes no
| additional tax burden, but merely
produces the same amount of money
as the present law.
The revised levy on undistributed
profits would apply only to corpora
tlonS having incomes above $4,000.
They would pay taxes Of l612 to 10
per cent. The more profits they
turned over to stockholders in the
form of dividends, the less taxes they
would pay. Firms distributing all
their profits would pay the 1872 per
cent minimum.
Small Firms Exempt.
Companies having incomes up TO
| $500 would pay no undistributed
profits levy-simply a corporate IN
come tax ranging from 1912 to l6 per
cent.
| Under existing law all corporations
pay an income tax of 8 to IS per cent
and Surtax of 7 to 27 per cent on
| their undistributed earnings.
Instead of the present system Of
graduated capital gains levies, gains
| realized on assets held by the tax
payer for no more than l8 months
would be subjected to regular income
taxes. A fat 20 per cent rate would
apply to gains from assets held from
18 to "a months and IS per cent
rate to those from assets retained
more than "a months.
Other Provisions.
To take care of the little fellows"
whose incomes fall in the lower
brackets, the legislation would allow
| so per cent of gains on assets held
more than 18 months to be Jumped
with other income If that arrange
ment would be more advantageous to
the taxpayer
| Other provisions would:
Tighten the tax load Of companies
liquidated under the Holding Com
pany Act.
Boost the levy on hard liquor from
50 to 1925 a gallon.
Repeal number Of so-called "nui-
sance" and excise taxes.

attempted to escape when he stopped
her and told her to drive to a police
station, he added. He stopped he,

at Fourth street and Florida avenue
NE, he said.
Miss Bandler testified at first that
she had intended to drive to the
precinct station after telling the officer
she was suffering from heart trouble
and was afraid of the effect on her
but finally admitted she was afraid to
60 to the station because she had nc
money.
In contesting the parking charges
