Davis 10 Have Free Hand
President Indicates

Elmer Davis, director of the ONCE
of War Information, had indirect
assurance from President Roosevelt
today that he would not be bothered
by White House interference in op-
Grating the new consolidated agency.
The President was asked at his
press conference late yesterday
about the future status of Lowell
Mellett, head of the once Of Gov
ernment Reports, and Archibald
MacLeish, chief OF the once Of
Facts and Figures-two of the agen-
cies consolidated into owl by ex-
ecutive order Saturday.
Replying that this question had
better be asked Mr.. Davis, Mr..
Roosevelt observed that some per-
sons had said that OWL could oper-
ate efficiently If the new director
was allowed to run it, but would fall
apart If there is any presidential
interference. He added that he
thought it was better to let Mr..
Davis operate 1t.
Mr.. Roosevelt refused to clear up
a mystery surrounding the Joint
Psychological Warfare Commit
tee" from which a representative
was named to a new Committee on
War Information Policy to assist
Mr.. Davis. Asked what the psyche
logical committee is. he said he did
not know how mention Of it got into
the executive order-it was sup
posed to be very hush-hush.

GrouptoS Study Needs
In Welfare Legislation
Measure to Transfer
Powers of Board Draws
Protest at Conference

In the face of arguments on their
bill to strip the plenary powers from
the Board of Public Welfare and
transfer them to the Board of Dis
trict Commissioners, the city heads
will appoint select committee to
delve into the whole question to
seek "the best administrative
answer"
Members of the welfare board, at
conference yesterday with Com
missioner Guy Mason, voiced OBJ
jections to the bill, and Oscar M.
Powell, director of the Federal So
cial Security Board, gave general
support to the move of the Com
miSsioners.
With some limitations, Commits
sioner Mason said, Mr.. Powell in
dorsed the Commissioners bill, now
before Congress, and said his agency
sent along a suggested draft, gen.
orally following the laws OF some
of the more progressive" States.
1t was said he favored a bill which
would provide a welfare department
having fun powers. with welfare
board serving as an advisory body
and with a welfare director named
by the Commissioners to admin
lister general rulings.
See Revision Necessary.
Welfare board members registered
opposition. Their chairman, Fred
erick w. McReynolds, was reported
i'll, but other members, under the
leadership Of DR.. H. j. Crosson, ap-
peared at thes conference to sup
port a position that while they
agreed revision Of existing legisla-
ton was essential the pending
bill was inadequate in scope" They
recommended:
That the task of revising the exist
ing law be delegated to representa-
tive citizens group Of from II to Is
members to be named by the Com
missioners;
That the Commissioners authorize
the group to employ recognized
expert" in governmental admins
tration;
That the group hold public hear
ings, so as to permit full expression
Of public interest; and
That no further action be taken
on the pending bill until after the
committee makes its report.
Cites Interest Of Citizens.
In response to this, the boards
proposals will be considered by the
District heads, and Commissioner
Mason indicated q citizens COM
mittee' would be named.
Welfare board members made the
points that the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations, the Board of
Directors of the Council of Social
Agencies and the League Of Women
Voters had evinced interest in the
pending bill and had sought in
formation on the issue.
A welfare board committee headed
by DR.. Crosson said 1t believed
the cure to the present prob
lem would be found only by
thoughtful revision" Of the existing
unsatisfactory" legislation, and that
neither the present nor the proposed
public welfare law offers a solution
to the real problem"

House Group Refuses
Tax Bill Sp|itUrged
As Wise by President
Too Late, Leaders Soy,
To Handle Exeises.
Incomes Separately

By the Associated Press.
A polite but emphatic mo"
came from House Ways and
Means Committee members to-
day in reply to President Roose-
velt's suggestion that Congress
divide the pending tax bill and
speed action on excise levies
which would produce more than
100000 a day in immediate
new revenue.
In view of a prospect that the
$500, ,0OO, 900 tax bill might not be-
come law for several months, Mr.
Roosevelt told a press conference
yesterday that 1t might be wise to
60 ahead at once with the excises
which, on the basis of committee
action, would produce ultimately
about $500 ,00o, 900 a year. Tax ex-
perts explained that several months
would be required to get the ma
chinery in full motion.
Tax Program Lays.
Mr.. Roosevelt remarked that the
tax part of his anti-infiation pro-
gram was behind schedule. Every
day that passed without action on
q new revenue measure cost the
Treasury considerable money, he
said, adding that he hoped a bill
would reach him sometime this
year.
Chairman Doughton and other
committeeman said they were glad
to have the Presidents recon-
mendation but remarked that since
they were SO nearly finished with
consideration of the whole revenue
question, it did not appear practical
to defer action on billions OF dollars
in corporation and individual In
come tax increases.
ut might have been wise to do
it in the beginning but It's pretty
late now to start on it," Mr.. Dough-
ton said. Il don't think 1t would
be feasible to enact two bills now"
Representative Duncan, Democrat,
of Missouri observed that Mr.. Roose-
welt was mo more anxious to see
a bill passed than the rest Of us"
but added that "a bill written in
haste can be repented just as
hastily"
Mr.. Roosevelt's suggestion came
shortly after the committee shelved
his recommendation that an in
dividuals income be limited to
SIS, 900 and that of married couples
to $50,000 That program, presented
by the Treasury Department only
two days ago, involved so many
considerations. members said, that
ADEQUATE study could not be given
before the new bill Is ready for the
House.
Debate Starts Next Month.
Representative Doughton said he
hoped that the measure would be
ready for floor debate by July 4.
House leaders have arranged for at
least a week of discussion and Sena-
tors have predicted they would study
it for at least five weeks.
Meanwhile, members reported
waning sentiment for a sales tax
which has been opposed by the
administration.
Currently, the committee is study
ing q series of last-minute excise
proposals, none of which has found
a favorable reception. One would
impose a tax on radio advertising
Another would levy a 10 per cent
tax on transactions in barber shops
and beauty parlors. A third would
tax electrical energy.
