News Review of Current
Events the World Over
Him—High Tax Senators Win a Victory—NationalMilk Control Program Withdrawn.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
. cdanpe oath ROOSEVELT’S reply
to the attacks on Rexford Guy Tugwell, which were renewed by oppoments of the administration after the
Wirt story was made
public, comes in the
form of promotion for
the head of the brain
trust. He has been
serving as assistant
secretary of agriculture, and is now ad-—
vanced by the President to the newly cre
ated position of unF dersecretary of agriMie tosagii culture, his salary beR. @. Tugwell ing increased from $7,600 to $10,000 a year. A new as
sistant secretary can now be appointed who will relieve Mr. Wallace and
Mr. Tugwell of some of their heavy
duties. The department has been conaidered understaffed: The post of
undersecretary was created by a re
eent act of congress,
Tugwell’s appointment will have to
be confirmed by the senate, and it was
considered certain the Republicans
would take advantage of the opportunity to make fresh attacks on him and
his theories of government.
The President also advanced Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, a Boston banker, from .assistant secretary to underHESTER C. DAVIS, head of the
Farm Adjustment administration,
announced that the national milk contro] program designed to help ‘dairy
farmers had been withdrawn “because
we do not feel that it has sufficient
Support from the farmers.” If sentiment changes it may be revived later,
but for the present, only minor features are to be carried out, These
include dairy purchases for relief purposes and reduction in the number
of diseased cattle,
The program, worked out. after
months of study and argument, called
for benefit payments of from $165,000,000 to $300,000,000 to dairymen
who joined in the plan. In return,
the producers were to reduce their
milk flow 10 per cent below the peak
months of the 1932-1933 period.
As in the case of other farm programs, the funds for benefit payments
were to come. from a processing tax,
This was to be one cent a pound on
‘butterfat and the figure was to be
raised gradually to five cents a pound.
A statement issued by the farm administration said the milk decision “is
in accord with the administration's
fixed policy to attempt no adjustment
program which does not have the support of a substantia] majority of those
engaged in the industry.”

OPEN hearings will begin May 2 by
the senate committee on privileges and elections on petitions for the
removal from office of Huey P, Long,
senator from Louisiana, Walter Pp,
George of Georgia gave out notice that
“only charges sufficient in substance
and form” and which were not considered by the special campaign expenditures committee last year would be investigated. Notices were sent to Mra.

have filed petitions seeking removal of

In the run-off Democratic primary in

Long’s candidate, Harry D. Wilson,

equivalent to election.

tm Washington heard a warm and elaberate defense of the New Deal deliv
ered by Professor Tugwell, who is
in part responsible for most of the
recovery measures adopted by the
present administration. Denying that
those who are advising the Presivent
seek to bring about radical chanjes
in the life and economic policies of the
American people, Professor Tugwell
described himself as a “thorough conServative.”
“We have a saving irreverenve of
authofity,” said Professor Tugwell in
speaking of the charncteristics of the
American people, “which gets us out of
holes. These basic traits determine
the structure of our laws and of our
government. No one, with the sliyitest sense of history, would try to fit
such a people into a regimented
scheme, would try to think for them
tnstead of getting them to think for
themselves.
‘
“The New Deal is not something
which can establish itself in the mind
of a dictator or a small governing
group. That was the fatal theory of
the system from which we are turning
away. Its base has to be as broad as
the economy which has to be brought
under control and as deep as the minds
and the hearts of the people whom it
affects.”
\/ torory in the conference was won
by the senate high tax bloc, for
the house conferees accepted virtually all the senate increases in estate
and gift ‘taxes, the capital stock and
excess profits taxes and liberal compromises over income-tax publicity and
consolidated returns,
The conference agreement was complete except for the Couzens amendment, adding 10 per cent to all individua] -income-tax returns next year,
The house will take a separate vote
om this, and it was believed the senate
would not insist on it if it were reJected by the house.
With the revenue bill thus disposed
of, the senate finance committee began public hearings. on the adminis.
* tration’s reciprocal tariff bill, which
the house has passed.
SENATORS who urge. the remonetization of silver held a conference
with President Roosevelt but received
from him no encouragement for silver
legislation, though no conclusion wag
reached. The possibility of silver purchases was discussed and the President
indicated a disposition to give this
matter consideration, but on the whole
there was no indication the government will embark on such a policy.
The silver senators were not at all
satisfied with the President's attitude
and held a meeting at ’ which eight
voted to support mandatory legislation for the benefit of silver,
Later it was rellably stated that the
President was maturing a plan for internationa) stabilization of -currencies
and that silver figures prominently in
it. Mr. Roosevelt, it was revealed, favors the inclusion of silver in the meta] base of currency issues to the extent of 30 per cent, the remaining 70
per cent to be gold. This change can
be safely made, however, the President
points out, only by international agreement whereby all the signatory nations
would admit silver to their reserves
against which paper money is issued.
In the London economic and monetary conference Senator Key Pittman
offered such a plan, proposing that central banks keep 20 per cent, or onefifth, of their metal cover or reserve
cutrency in silver, The proposal

told to watch for the

get him back, the Cuban authorities intend to try Machado
on charges of murder based on wholeSale shootings which occurred a few
days before he fled from the island.
They also plan to ask extradition of
Gen, Alberto Herrera, Machado’s former chief of staff, who like his master
took refuge in the United States.
Machado has lived in seclusion with
members of his family in the Bahamas, Canada and this country since
his flight from Cuba. He established

wis unexpected celerity the railway executives and rail union
chiefs reached an accord in the wage
dispute, and the danger of a strike
was averted for another year. At the
instance of President Roosevelt but
without government interference they
worked out their own settlement after
the federal negotiators had failed to
get results and Co-ordinator Joseph B.
Eastman had withdrawn as mediator.
Under the arrangement decided
upon the 10 per cent wage cut which
has prevailed in the railroads during
the last two years is to be gradually
wiped out in the next twelve months,
Two and a half per cent of the existing wage cut is to be restored July 1,
another 2%4-percent on January 1,
and the remaining 5 per cent on April
1, 1935.
In other words, instead of a 10 per
cent cut rail workers will have only a
7% per cent cut prevailing between
July 1 and January 1, a 5 per cent cut
prevailing between January 1 and
April 1, and full pay restoration after
April 1.
These terms worked out by the emPloyers and employees are actually
more favorable to the workers than
the terms which Président Roosevelt
twice asked them to accept.
When informed of the settlement,
Mr. Roosevelt said:
and their employees have been able to
settle their wage dispute by mutual)
agreement. The country should be,
and will be, grateful to them for this
disposition of what might have developed into a troublesome controversy. I congratulate both sides on
the wisdom and restraint which they
have exhibited. They have set a good
example.”
Coen DE PRIEST, negro_ congressman: from Chicago, won a

followed the Mason and Dixon line almost without exception.

Cy res of the Department of
Agriculture believe the wheat
carry-over into 1935 may amount to
340,000,000 bushels, and are studying
the export markets to find a possible
outlet for part of it. But they cannot
develop an export policy until the
work of the international wheat conference at Rome is completed,
The wheat carry-over on July 1 this
year is expected to be about 265,000,900 bushels, to which may be added
75,000,000 bushels surplus from this
year’s prospective crop of 700,000,000
bushels,
Secretary Wallace has suggested
that processing taxes on wheat might
be increased and that the amount of
the tax ear-marked to promote exports might be raised from 2 to 4 or
even 5 cents, .
A 5-cent tax on the 400,000,000 bushels yearly processing of taxable wheat
would return approximately $20,000,This total would be sufficient to exof the American fleet of 111 veasels,
