adopt the income certificate plan.
This plan, said Mr. Wallace, is SUI
perior to either price fixing, tariff
equalization, or the old McNary-Hau-
gen plan, since it is self-financing,
making it unnecessary for congress to
act every year, thus protecting the
farmer against each shifting wind.
The income certificate plan is de-
signed to give the farmer either par
ity or cost of production.
Conservatives in congress are Great
ing a furore because NLRB Chairman
Madden recommended that the govern
ment withhold loans and refuse con-
tracts to firms which violate the Wag-
ner and Wage-Hour acts. One of the
firms which Madden recommended

Referring to the refusal of John D.

discuss youth problems because the
youth congress admits communists to

"Of course, l do not know how dan

On Poll Tax Bill

A fight which, in intensity, promises
to overshadow that oyer. the Gavagan
anti-lynching bill (still pending in the
senate) is in the offing should Rep.
Geyer's poll tax bill come out on the
floor.
The BILL introduced by the Califor-

congress, would abolish the poll tax
as a prerequisite to voting in federal

states, which still use this method to

A subcommittee is scheduled to be-
gin hearings on the bill starting March

witnesses. Maverick recently was &C.

will hold hearings executive sessions)
on communistic influences in the Hol-

sumner groups. Inasmuch as he has
announced his findings on the former

findings on the latter in public press

the least are bit anti-climatical Why

WPA Aids Business,
Harrington Points Out
WPA Administrator Harrington
points out that every penny paid WPA
workers goes into private business
channels-42 percent for food; 20 for
housing; 10 household expenditures
clothing; transportation; medical
care, and 10 miscellaneous.
What would happen if this entire
amount approximately $120,000,O00 a
month"; were cut off in drastic effort
to balance the budget?
Naturally there would be starvation
and suffering too terrible to contem-
plate in hundreds of thousands of
American homes. Unemployment
would become more acute. The relief
load on local governments would be-
soar State governments whether
the Brickers would like it or mott
would be compelled to come to the as
sistance of the local communities, thus
increasing state tax leYies.
That is not all. Business, because
of reduced mass purchasing power,
would take another tailspin. 1t is to
be recalled that the business recess
sion set in after the administration,
taking for time the advice of big
business, reduced relief and other ap-
preparations to balance the budget.
The loss in the volume of the nations
business following this effort CORE
spends almost exactly with the budget
reduction, unquestionably being the
cause of the business recession.
