gether in sympathy and under
standing"

Roosevelt Indorses
vandenberg Bill for
Reapportionment
Executive Reminds House
Of Constitutional
Requirement
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt reminded the
House yesterday of the constitu-
tional requirement that it face the
unpleasant task of reapportioning
its seats after every decennial
census.
In a letter to Chairman Dunn of
the House Census Committee, Mr..
Roosevelt Endorsed Senate-ap-
proved bill by Senator Vandenberg,
Republican, of Michigan to assure a
reapportionment next January.
Mr.. Dunn told newsmen that al
though his committee refused last
summer "by a good majority" to
approve the bill, he felt the men,
bers should consider it again in view
of the Presidents recommendation
and would call the committee to
meet within 10 days,
Doubt Expressed.
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote Mr.. Dunn
that unless the House also took some
action, there was doubt that re-
apportionment would be possible,
even though it is required every 10
years under the Constitution.
The laws require the President to
submit decennial census figures, on
which the makeup of the House is
determined, to the second session Of
every fifth Congress.
But under the Norris lame duck"
| amendment, the second session of
the current Congress began 10 days
ago, whereas the 1910 census does
not start until April l.
Mr.. Roosevelt suggested that the
laws be amended to permit him to
submit 1910 census figures to Con-
gress next January.
Operation of Law Debatable.
"Since the twentieth amendment
makes it impossible to transmit the
statement of population within the
time prescribed by the 1929 act, it
would appear to be debatable as to
whether or not the apportionment
provisions Of that law are any longer
operative" the President wrote.
The question Immediately arose as
to whether some House members
whose districts have declined in pop
ulation since 1880 and who therefore
might be in danger of having their
positions abolished would approve a
new bill.
Under the last reapportionment
several States lost at least one men,
Der and Missouri lost three. Failure
to correct the situation caused bv
adoption of the lame duck amend
ment would mean no reapportion-
ment and continuation of the status
quo, as far as congressional districts
| are concerned.

campaigning on the theory that the
President will not in the end per-

except Vice President Garner, who
will run whether Mr.. Roosevelt is
candidate or not.
McNutt Backers Active.
The supporters of Federal Security
Administrator Paul v. McNutt are
extremely active, as we'll as the Gar
nerites. Mr.. McNutt has said he
does not intend to be a candidate for
the nomination if the President
runs. But he is in the fight to stay
against any other candidate or
group of candidates.
The spotlight turns over the week
end more and more on Secretary of
State Hull and Senator Burton K.
Wheeler of Montana. Mr.. Hull has
been put forward as a likely choice
of the President for the nomination.
In addition to that, the Secretary of
State has taken leading part in
the fight for continuance of the
Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act.

agreements entered into and his ar
guments for continuance of the act,
which is due to expire next June

wins this fight his stock will soar.
Wheeler Gains Support.
Senator Wheeler looms as strong
compromise candidate if the Presi-
dent does not run. He has support
particularly among the leaders and
the rank and file of organized labor.

Senator Wheeler has accepted.
Whether Senator Wheeler would
be acceptable to President Roosevelt
as a presidential candidate has not
been specifically stated. He was a
leader against the Presidents Su-
preme Court bill in 1887, but he was
before that a. strong supporter of
the President and of his New Deal
legislation. The Montana Senator
who spoke in Denver at a jackson
Day dinner, expressed the belief that
the President would not be a cam
dldate to succeed. himself. Later in
an interview in Pittsburgh, he re-
lterated that view, but added that
if the President were nominated
again, he would support him. Sena-
tor Wheeler, however, believes a
third term is wrong "in principle"

Another suggestion, being consid-
cred in some quarters, would leave
the present requirement for the
filing of the District income returns
by March Is, but would permit pay
ments of the tax to be made April
Is and June IS.
Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, District
auditor, however, protested that any
plan to defer both portions of the
payment would greatly increase Dis
trict costs since the District would
be under the necessity of sending
out some 11400O income tax bills for
April and again for June, and hav-

services of District personnel.
He has agreed that the District
probably could 60 through the end

any financial problems, even if half
of the income tax payments were
postponed to September, since some
District funds of this year will not
be needed by June 80, since actual
obligations will not be accrued by
that time.

was inserted in the bill because of
uncertainty as to the actual re-
ceipts under the corporate income
tax of 5 per cent and the personal
net income tax of from to 3 per
cent.
The original proposed draft for
the income tax measure proposed
semi-annual payments, in October
and April, but this plan would have
applied the taxes to incomes received
in the calendar year 1888, and pro-
tests were made that this retroac-
tive feature would constitute double
taxation since long list of taxpay-
ers would have already paid on the
old Intangible personal property tax,
which supposedly was to be substi-
tuted by the income levy.
