belief that unless Mr.. Roosevelt
gives the signal for changes, the
House will confine it's action on
business levies to passing a simple
resolution extending the present
corporation tax schedule which ex-
pires December 81.
Leaders of the revision bloc said
that If this occurred they could
marshal sufficient Senate votes to
write new schedule along Sena-
tor Harrison's lines. Business SEN
timent, they declared, would force
the House and the administration
to accept it.
They contend that either the
Harrison or Treasury plan would
meet all the standards for revision
which Mr.. Roosevelt has laid down
in the past. These are that Fed
eral revenue amounting to $780,
100000 from corporation taxes)
must not be cut, that small corpora
tions must be given special con-
sideration, and that loopholes for
tax evaders, closed by the present
law, must be kept closed.
On the last point Senator Harri-
son is understood to have told
Mr.. Roosevelt that the present "un-
reasonable reserves" clause, which
would not be changed, adequately
protects the Government against
cOrDOratiOns' pilinp up big reserves
of profit in order to keep their
stockholders from having to pay

This clause, recently upheld by
the Supreme Court, imposes heavy
penalty taxes against such reserves.

On State Aid for
Low Income Sick
Opposition Is Voiced
To Present Form of
Wagner Proposal
By the Associated Press.

py tLe ASSOCldJeu TIeSSs
ST. LOUIS, May 16.-Differences
of medical opinion on how to give
the INDECENT sick the best care with
State money were heard today by
the American Medical Association's S
Committee on the Wagner Act.
The committee was appointed
yesterday with the expectation of a
report from it today before the
House of Delegates, the legislative
body of organized medicine.
Opposition to the present form of
the Wagner Act as the instrument
to initiate State aid for the low
But it was not unanimous.
The hearings were private, but it
was explained that some of the
physicians felt that the proposed
legislation may tighten a medical
burden, which has been estimated
at about $1,000,000 a day in free
services now given to patients un-
able to pay.
The tradition of giving service
freely to the poor is voiced strongly
among the medical leaders here
Generally reluctance is expressed at
1ndorsing payment for this kind Of
service. This reluctance was pointed
to as refutation of charges which
have been made by small groups of
physicians that the medical profess
sion is organized primarily to main
tain good fees.
-Four main lines of argument de-
veloped during the committee hear
tngs. One, fiat opposition to the
Wagner Act. Two, revision. Three.
throwing the whole question back
into the House of Delegates to try
to work out plans satisfactory to
doctors. -Four, advocating that
President Roosevelt apply funds to
be made available by legislative act
directly for care of the INDECENT
sick.
Opposition to the Wagner Act
charges that it is too indefinite and
that 1t opens the door TO possibil-
1ty of spending that will not insure
the best medical care to the INDECENT
sick.
A few strong pleas were made for
meeting and enlarging the work of
present community agencies.

Association delegates yesterday
proposed to seat woman physician

let down bars TO A. M. A. member
ship among the Nations 5000 COL
ored doctors.
Both moves would break prece-
dents. The resolutions on women
and Negroes were offered by the
New York delegation.
Because it is a critical time in
the history of American medicine,
said the New Workers, it is impor-
tant that all physicians should unite
in safeguarding the interests of the
profession.
There are 5000 to 5000 woman
doctors in the country, many of
them members of the A. M. A.
They asked that the House grant
a seat to a woman delegate. The

Rapidly changing social order was
stressed by the New Workers in ask
ing for more consideration for
Negroes.
Colored doctors, they said, care for
100000 American citizens, whose
collective health problems form one
OF the most challenging areas in the
entire battle line against sickness
and disease"
They said the Negroes have OBJ
served the best traditions.

BY the Associated Press.
A powerful Senate bloc, led by
Chairman Harrison of the Finance
Committee, expressed determination
today to write a new business tax
program OF its own unless President
Roosevelt orders thorough revision
of present levies.
Senator Harrison, it was learned,
told the President of this intention
at White House conference last
night.
The administrations final atti-
tude, however, probably will not be
made known until legislative leaders
hold further meetings with Mr..
Roosevelt.
At the White House with Senator
Harrison yesterday were Chairman
Doughton of the House Ways and
Means Committee, Representative
Cooper, Democrat, of Tennessee
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau and Undersecretary Hanes.
Representative Doughton said no
conclusions were reached during the
discussion, which produced much
difference of opinion.
I'VE will have some kind of a tax
bill, of course" he added. What
changes will be made I am unable
to say"
President LOath to Approve.
Senator Harrison and his asso-
ciates contend repeal of the undis-
tributed profits tax, creation of a
fiat corporation tax of about 18 per
cent, more liberal allowances for cor
poration losses and continued IA
vored treatment for small firms are
necessary to stimulate business i'm
provement.
This program closely resembles
one formulated some time ago by
Treasury experts and understood to
have Secretary Morgenthau's sup
port. The Treasury plan provides
| for repeal Of the undistributed
profits and capital stock taxes and
enactment of a fiat corporation levy
! Nf %
would not repeal the capital stock
| tax.
Both these plans were discussed
at yesterdays conference, but since
both call for repeal of at least one
tax previously enacted on his rec
ommendation, it was understood
that Mr.. Roosevelt, while making
no commitment, was loath to ex-
press approval of either one.
Senate Would Force Action.
The President indicated to report
ers last week that the whole ques-
ton OF tax revision was up to Con-
gress and that the administration
would make no recommendations
Secretary Morgenthau and Under
secretary Hanes, however, have in
dicated they strongly favored re-
| vision.
OF the other two men at the White
House yesterday. Representative
Cooper, who is chairman of the
Ways and Means Tax Subcommit-
tee, was understood to side with Mr..
Roosevelt, while Representative
Doughton has given no public indi-
cation of the specific legislation he
favors.
