Secretary of Treasury Nor genfhdu Discusses
 U. 5. Situation NEW TAXATION IS
 NOT CONTEMPLATED
Government and Industry Now 10 Go Ahead
 Hand in Hand

WASHINGTON, Feb 23.--Secre- tary of Treasury Henry Morgen- thau today told business men they not only need not worry about new taxes, but may hope for improve ment in present taxes to help busi- ness in expanding.
 Endorsing President Rooseyelts statement that business men need not fear new taxes, the Treasury head said "I sincerely hope that Congress will take a careful look at the tax laws to see if there are any deterrents holding back business and businessmen. Making further commitments, I think. the business man of the country ought to feel that the Administration wants him to go ahead and take the normal business risks and make money
 Secretary Morgenthau said defin- itely there would be no new tax proposals except reenactment of expiring excise taxes, although possible measure to raise approxi- mately $200,O00,00o for farm bene- fits was brought to his attention.

BIG MEASURE PASSES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 - The House has passed and sent to the Senate the $48,800,000 Naval Air Base bill after stripping it of the controversial proposal to establish a base for Navy Scouting planes at Guam.
 Final passage of the measure, which is an integral part of the Presidents Emergency Defense Pro gram, came after the House con- firmed it by a roll call vote of 205 to 168
 An earlier vote of elimination of the S5,000,000 Guam project was standing vote, 368 to A.
 The final vote came after three days of stormy debate.
 The Guam elimination amend ment was made by Representative Walter H. Sutphin, of New Jersey.
 Representative Warren G. Mag nuson, of Washington, told the House if the United States backed down on improvements at Guam, Japan would herald it throughout the Far East as a great victory, ? and this country would be afraid to dredge harbor" for fear the Japanese Government would pro- test.

 PALMER COLONY
Ross SheeIy Is Labeled as Dictator of Mafan-
 uska Project

Introduced by Representative Me Cutcheon, by request, memorial in the House today asks a Congress sional investigation into the ad- ministration of the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation at the Matanuska Colony
 The blistering request follows in substance:
 .'The colonists of the Matanuska Valley deeply appreciate the New Deals effort to rehabilitate them by means of the colonizat ton project, they have strong faith in the soil and climate of the valley, and a deep desire to make permanent and supporting homes.
 '1'he Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation is an organization that is unsympathetic toward the prob lems faced by the colonists; the manager, Ross L. Sheely, is not in sympathy with New Deal politics; the government of the colonists in the valley is dictatorial in form and un-American in principle.
 The colonists have been placed entirely under the rule of the gen. eral manager, and after the expen- diture of millions of dollars of gov- ernment funds during three years, a good many of them are destitute and without funds properly to feed and clothe their children, and are faced with the prospect of request ing relief from the legislature
 Such condition should not exist, since enough money has been spent in promoting the project to have given each colonist an equivalent

ROOSEVELT BROWN E NO CURB TO BIDS FOR COINS
 FOR MANY SPECIAL EVENTS
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-In spite of President Roosevelt's threat of veto, there is a new rush of demands for special coins to help promote everything from peace to refurbish- ing St. Augustine, Fla.
 It is a slick system for helping finance local fairs and monuments. The government hints the money and sells it at face value exclu- sively to the local committee, which in turn can market each coin at a premium of 100 to 400 percent to souvenir hunters
 Senator Adams of Colorado, chair man of Senate coinage committee charges that the local committee, with plenty else to do, often enough is glad to sell the coinage rights to a dealer for fat premium, cash in hand. Then, says Senator Adams, begins the real scalping.
 The dealer goes after the coin collectors. Smarties call them num- ismatists. There are 50,000 in the country, and of these, says Adams, at least 10000 will buy any Ameri- can coin that comes out, since they wish to keep their collections com plete. Often they are made to pay through the nose, sometimes two or three times, for occasionally the special coin is issued in installments year apart so the collectors have to come to the speculator each time.
