HYDE Hits Roosevelt
As Solely 10 Blame
For Economic Setup
New Deal Joyride Is
Over,' Hoover Secretary
Tells Republican Rally
By the Associated Press.

oy tIle hSSOCldteQ fIeSS.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo, Feb. 25.-
Economically. the New Deal joyride
is over" Arthur M. Hyde, former
Secretary of Agriculture in the
Hoover cabinet. asserted last night
at Republican rally.
Wheat is going down." Mr.. Hyde
said in prepared address. Cotton.
figured on gold basis, is cheaper
than it has ever been Commodity
prices are slipping The railroads
are bankrupt. Industry is banking
its fires. The values of securities
has declined by many billions Of
dollars.
Every business index is declining
except the cost of living"
For all this he declared,
Franklin D. Roosevelt is RESPONSE
BILE. No measure has been passed
except by his urging. 1t is futile
to charge the Democratic party with
responsibility; its platform has been
ignored.
"The record Of his administration
is without exception a record of
measures based upon collectivism,
alien to the ideals of America, hostile
to ideals of liberty, defiant alike to
economics and experience. Their
common denorninator is the con-
tinuous massing of more and more
political and economic power in his
hands"
Mr.. Hyde said New Deal hench-
men are travelling the land telling
business men that Mr.. Roosevelt is
turning to the right. and is going
to give business a new breathing
spell.
"Is there any business man, no
matter how simple-minded, who can
make himself believe that the man
who has been pitching nothing but
screwballs for six years, has sud-
denly turned to straight shooting?"

Avoid '|sms'
Incipient Split Appears
Averted After PorIey
Lasting Four Hours
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-An incip-
lent split in the National Lawyers
Guild over charges of Communist
influence apparently was averted
today.
After a four-hour closed confer
ence with IL prominent members of
the guild, New York State Supreme
Court Justice Ferdinand E. Pecora,
who precipitated the controversy,
last night issued a statement in
which he said:
Il have indicated would continue
my membership in it provided I be-
came satisfied that there would be
no attempt in the future on the
part of any one to use the guild as
a medium for advocating Commu-
nism, Fascism, Nazi-ism or any of
the political PHILOSOPHERS repugnant
to the American philosophy"
He cordially agreed, he said, with
those who felt "the guilds continu-
ance was vital to the preservation of
the Bill of Rights as the basic prin-
cipal of American life
Justice Pecora. retiring president
of the guild. and his followers, had
threatened to resign after charging
the executive board had failed to
condemn Communism and other
"isms" at recent convention in
Chicago.
The board rejected the condem-
natory resolution on the stated
ground that it was unnecessary and
redundant to the Guilds constitu-
tional preamble.
The Guild, started several years
ago by members of the American
Bar Association desirous of spon-
soring progressive measures more
aggressively than the association
was doing, now claims a member
ship of $500 lawyers, judges. law
professors and public officials. 1t
strongly supports measures to i'm
prove the economic welfare OF law
yers.
Municipal judge John Gutknecht
of Chicago, new president of the
Guild. and George Quilici, president
of the Chicago chapter. came here
by plane to meet with Pecora and
his bloc
Others at the conference included
Morris Ernst, Mortimer Hays,
Samuel Null. Emil Schlesinger, Ran
dolph Paul and Osmond Fraenkel of
New York: Malcolm Sharp of Chi
cago. past Guild president; Ver-
non Stoneman and Joseph Sugar

Study by Treasury.

b the Associated Press.
A proposal that the Treasury and
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee join in survey to determine
which taxes may be hamperine
business was made today by Repre-
sentative Doughton, Democrat, of
North Carolina.
Representative Doughton, who Is
chairman of the committee, where
all tax bills start, said he agreed
with Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau there should be no ad-
dltlonal taxes at this time.
He said he welcomed the Secre-
tary's suggestion that we re-ex-
anime the whole tax structure with
the desirable objective of removing
such deterrents to business enter
prise and economic recovery as NAV
be found to exist"
Repeal of Two Taxes Asked.
Representative Celler, Democrat,
OF New York, proposed repeal of the
remnants of the undistributed prof
It's and capital gains taxes. He said
IN statement:
Quite frankly, many of the New
Deal taxes are destroying instead
OF developing confidence in busi-
ness. The undistributed
pronts tax and the capital gains
and losses tax have developed spite
ana fear. The one is as bad as
the other. 1t is high time that
the nigh tax winds be abated."
Opposes New Taxes.
While Representative Doughton
said he did not favor seeking in
creased revenue by more taxes at
this time, he said it would be
necessary to renew excise taxes
expiring around the end of June.
These produce some s50O,OOO 900
annually.
What We need and what we all
want" he said. rs business re-
covery and a much greater national
income. That is the only road to
increased revenues which will halt
the increase in the public debt. That
is the Presidents position and
am heartily in accord with it. =
Il think it will be a happy dav
when Government and business
fully recognize their interdependence
and their mutual responsibilities"

Wallace Advocates
'Two-Price' Plan
For Cotton
Program to Promote
Logging Exports
Is Studied
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
it was learned today. has drawn up
"two-price' plan designed to IA
cilitate exports of cotton at world
prices while maintaining a higher
level of prices to consumers in this
country.
The plan has been submitted to
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau Vice President Garner and
several members of Congress from
cotton producing States. Details
are being closely guarded until the
attitude of these officials and law
makers could be ascertained.
Processing Tax Substitute.
The proposal has been brought
forward as substitute for process
ing taxes which Secretary Wallace
previously advocated as a means of
raising funds to increase income of
farmers. Because of White House
and Treasury opposition to such
taxes, the Agriculture Department
chief was said to have given up hope
for their enactment.
Although Agriculture Department
officials declined to discuss the sub
stitute proposal. it was said in some
quarters it would use present loan
provisions of the crop control law
to maintain domestic prices pos
sibly higher than the present levels.
which average about 8.3 cents a
pound
To facilitate exports. which have
dwindled this season to the level
of the 1880s, cotton which the Gov
ernment has acquired in return for
loans to growers would be sold to
exporters at prices which would en-
able them to meet competitive
prices in world markets.
Similar to Wheat Plan.
American exports have declined
this season largely because. trade
authorities say, the Government
loan program has pegged prices
above world levels. thereby making
it difficult for exporters to make
sales AS a result, cotton which
otherwise might have moved into
foreign trade channels has accumu-
lated in Government loan stocks,
now totaling 100000 bales.
The Wallace plan is similar to a
program now being used to expedite
exports of wheat. The Government
buys wheat at domestic prices and
sells it to exporters at prices en-
abling them to make sales.
