IS SEEN IMMEDIATELY • —————— Tax Bill Is Not Likely to Make an Appearance During the Spe cial Session. BACKGROUND— At the summons of President Roosevelt Congress met in special session last Monday, 48 days before the usual opening day set by the Constitution. Although Mr. Roose velt had made it clear he wanted immediate action on farm, reor ganization, regional planning and labor standards legislation, the first uoeek brought 'no positive ac , tivity. By G. GOULD LINCOLN. After a week of. feverish work in committee and idleness on the floor, the.President's legislative program is about to have its first ‘ break" in the special session of Congress. The crop control bill is to make its bow tomorrow — unless some one throws a monkey wrench into the ma chinery—in both House and Senate. If necessary, the leaders said, the House and Senate Committees on Agriculture would sit today to put the finishing touches on this legis * lation. Notwithstanding all the urgent pleas of Senators and Representatives, Republicans and Democrats alike, im mediate legislative aid for business is not materializing. To the demands lor a quick repeal or revision of the undistributed profits tax and the capi tal gains tax, the administration has turned a deaf ear. No tax legislation before the regular session in January Is the order of the day. The administration leaders, pro • (easing a desire to aid business, make * plausible argument against rushing tax legislation to the fore. Nothing, they say, must be done in a hurry, particularly when the change of a •ingle word may affect taxpayers vi tally. The subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee, which “V "Via KGCM Wit MIC revision of the tax system, has made “good progress,” they say. But they add quickly that there is still much to be done, that public hearings last ing 10 days or two weeks will be held on the bill after It has been perfected by the subcommittee and referred to the full committee, and finally, they do not expect to have a tax bill ready to report to the House before the mid dle of January. Administration to Have Way. Instead of this tax revision legis lation—which proponents claim would materially assist in halting the busi ness recession—administration leaders are bent on proceeding as rapidly as , possible with the President's social and economic program. This program Includes the proposed wages and hours bill, a further control over business operation by Government, not to men tion a further increase in the cost of production and an increase in prices to the consumer. The first week of the special session has been a stalemate. The adminis tration has had no legislation and the members who have clamored for busi ness aid have made no progress. It looks, however, as though the (administration would have its way, unless a revolt of far greater size than bae manifested itself should turn up. When Congress assembled, the admin istration found its hands tied by an agreement entered into last summer In the Senate to consider the anti lynching bill Immediately after a farm bill, which was to be the first order of business. So much for the Upper House.

A DOZEN leading economists last night offered suggestions for ending the current slump in business activity. The gist of them was: "Do something to encourage busi ness.” What form the encouragement would take was a matter of debate among economists who expressed their opinions in response to inquiries, but sentiment was strong for these points: 1. Abolish the tax on undistributed profits. 2. Revise or abolish the tax on capital gains. 3. End "Government competition” with business. 4. Bolster public confidence by in cheating a positive intention *t<* bal ance the budget. Actual immediate balancing of the budget was not essential to recovery, a majority, of the economists said, although a few disagreed. Some credited the budget’s existing unbal ance as a cause of the recovery in business after the depression. Among economists who contributed their views were David Friday .of Washington, Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale. James H. R. Cromwell of New Jersey, Col. Leonard P. Ayres of Cleve land, Dr. Willford I.

Determined to slash appropriations under the budget estimates the House Appropriations Committee starts hear* ings tomorrow on the first of the 10 appropriations measures which for the current fiscal year carried a total of $8,376,192,820.91 and with other session bills amounted to $9,356,174,982.92. What the budget for the next year will amount to has not yet been dis i closed. It will be submitted at the opening of the regular session in Jan uary. Chairman Taylor said last night his committee “will cut the appropriations it recommends well under the budget, as the best way we know to balance the budget. That is our definite objec tive—to go better than the President to reduce the cost of Government.” He pointed out that the current ap propriation bills were $121,000,000 less than th" budget recommendations. To Hold Expenses Down. Representative Ludlow, Democrat, of Indiana,' chairman of the subcommit tee in charge of the hearings tomorrow, said that he and his associates on the committee “will make every effort to hold appropriations down to the rock bottom minimum consistent with the actual needs and requirements of the public service.” Representative Tarver, Democrat, of Georgia, one of the veteran members of the committee, announced that he intends to lead the fight all along the line for the strictest economy in Fed eral appropriations. He said that he is “all fed up on the idea of a Gov ernment Santa Claus.” Hearings Start Tomorrow. The hearings start tomorrow on the Treasury-Post Office supply bill, with Jesse M. Donaldson, First Assistant Postmaster General, as the first wit ness. The Post Office Department ap propriations for the current fiscal year total $784,748,053 and for the Treasury Department, exclusive of permanent and indefinite appropriations, $791, 666,955.94—making a total of well over a billion and a half dollars. Chairman Taylor of the full com mittee announced that he has a sched ule of subcommittee hearings arranged which will get half of the bill well un der way before the Christmas holi days and that he will have at least one bill ready for Congress when it meets January 4. Chairman Ross Collins of the sub committee in charge of the District budget says he will start hearings about December 1, and that fits in with Mr. Taylor’s program. Chairman Woodrum of the Subcommittee on Independent Offices will probably be next to start hearings, in about a week, to be followed by the “four-de partment” bill—State, Justice, Com merce and Labor—and the Navy bill before Christmas.

The Catholic hierarchy or the United States last night announced action denouncing conditions in Germany, supporting the Spanish hierarchy, and expressing concern over Intemperance, immoral movies and unclean floor shows in this country. The actions were taken by the cardinals, archbishops and bishops at the annual meeting of the bishops, which were held here last week with 82 members of the hierarchy in at tendance. Letters were sent to the German and Spanish hierarchies pleading solidarity with them and ex pressing sympathy and admiration for the courses they have pursued. In the letter to the German bishops, phrased with exceptional vigor, the American hlerachy declared that "the sense of all religious-minded men and women throughout the world is out raged 'by the satanic resourcefulness" of the leaders of modem paganism ip Germany and by ‘‘the Incredible ex cesses committed by them.” “We realize that an attempt is being made to destroy the very work of the redemption of all men by Jesus Christ, to take away the prestige of the church, to deprive the vicar of Christ, and yourselves as well, of all authority, and to besmirch -the honor of the priesthood.” the bishops of the United States declared. “We recognize in this a deliberate attempt to destroy gradually the faith of your people by denying them the nourishment of the life-giving sacraments, by depriving them of Christian education, and by (See CHURCHMEN, Page A-4.)

AUTO UNION HEAD CALLS SHOWDOWN ON OUTLAW STRIKE Martin Summons Leaders of Fisher Sit-In to Session of Executive Board. “DETERMINED TO END” SUCH ACTIONS, HE SAYS * - — Offenders Warned They Can’t Call Unauthorized Strikes and Stay in Union. BACKGROUND— One year ago a sit-down strike in Fisher plant at Atlanta, Ga„ marked opening of a U. A. W. A. offensive against General Motors. That strike movement spread until, two months later, production throughout the General Motors in dustrial empire was virtually par alyzed. After six wfeks more it ended in an agreement between General Motors and U. A. W. A. which was subject to revision after six months. Intermittent nego tiations for revised agreement were broken off by union's rejection of a proposed new agreement last Sunday. Bj the Associated Press. PONTIAC, Mich., Nov. 20 — Leaders of an unauthorized strike in the Fisher Body Corp. plant here were summoned tonight by Homer Martin, interna tional president, to meet in Detroit Sunday with the Executive Board of the United Automobile Workers of America. Martin came here tonight and con ferred with officials of the local union whose members have held the factory since Wednesday night, but did not talk with any of the strikers or the leaders of the sit-down that has made 14,700 men idle. Officers of both the local and inter national unions have said the strike was unauthorised. Martin also called a meetine of the Pontiac U. A. W. A. local for Sunday night and said he would address it. Members of the international Execu tive Board, he said, will return to Pontiac with him for the meeting. After visits to Flint and Pontiac to attempt to settle differences in local unions, Martin returned to De troit late tonight. To End Outlaw Strikes. "We are determined to eliminate unauthorised strikes,” Martin said. “Whatever is necessary to accomplish this end will be done. The interna tional union assumes its obligations without fear and with full confidence that the automobile workers of the Nation are in full accord with this program. “General Motors, as other corpora tions, has made the mistake that it alone could and should discipline union men. We have taken con sistently the position that it is the union's duty to discipline members who refuse to abide by its constitu tion, and that the union can best handle the situation of unauthorized strikes.” Six members of the Fisher Plant (See PONTIAC, Page A-HJ ROOSEVELT IS PLANNING FLORIDA FISHING TRIP Journey Would Follow Warm Springs Visit if Health Permits.

Coughlin, the flery tongued priest of Royal Oak, Mich., was made public here last night through the apostolic delegate. The action took the form of a statement upholding the rebuke ad ministered to Father Coughlin on October 7 by Archbishop Edward Mooney of Detroit because of the “unfortunate words” the priest had used in criticising President Roose velt's appointment of Hhgo L. Black to the 8upreme Court. Climaxing a long record of in volvement iji political controversy, Father Coughlin's description of the Black appointment as displaying “personal stupidity” on the part of the President and the “correction” which It drew from his archbishop has been followed by announcement of his withdrawal from radio broad casting. The attack on President Roosevelt was the priest's first public comment on current public ques tions after the creation of the De troit Archdiocese last summer, fol lowing the death of Bishop Michael J. Gallagher, who had supported him in many of his radio utterance. The Pope’s official approval of Arch bishop Mooney’s “correction” was made public by Archbishop Amleto Cicognani, the apostolic delegate in Washington, in the following state ment: “In answer to messages received by the Holy See from individuals and groups interested in the activities of the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin of the Diocese of Detroit, the Holy See re plies as follows: “‘The Holy See regards as just and timely the corrections which the Archbishop of Detroit made - in 9 reference to remarks of Father Cough lin published on October 5. Each bishop has not only the right but the duty to supervise Catholic teaching in his diocese. Any priest who feels aggrieved by the action of this bishop in the exercise of such supervision has the right of orderly recourse to the Holy See, but in loyalty to the church he also has the duty of using his influence to keep the matter from being made the occasion of public agi tation and thus possibly creating con fusion in the minds of many Catho lics.* ** Four Superhighways Urged To Develop Big Suburb Area Center-Parked Routes to Link D. C. to Baltimore and Annapolis Favored in Maryland Planning Board Report. By NELSON M. SHEPARD. TO BRING order out of chaotic suburban growth and plan constructively for the future development of the 2,500 square miles of the Baltlmore Washington-Annapolis area, embracing a population of 1,713,000, pre dominantly urban, the Maryland State Planning Commission yesterday made public preliminary proposals based on a diagnosis of its normal and peculiar symptoms. The most imperative need for co-ordinated planning, said Chairman Abel Wolman in a report to the National Resources Committee, is the sub urban expansion, “almost explosion," of Washington and Baltimore. Unless something is done to control it in other directions, the report ijumia uui, me twu Lines in an in-s credibly short time will be bumping into each other. Already Washington and Baltimore are spreading toward each other at the rate of 7,000 people, nearly 4 square miles, each year. By 1950 the whole region will have a population in ex cess of 2,000,000, while between its two big centers 80,000 people and 40 square miles of suburbs probably will be added to their suburban area. In brief, the program prescribes a co-ordinated plan for this perplexing suburban growth to provide more open space by the development of numer ous small “Greenbelt” communities and acquisitions up to 100,000 acres of public forests and parks. Other Important recommendations for immediate attention are: Construction of four great express motorways, primarily to relieve con gestion and reduce the toll of traffic (See PLANNERS, Pace A-17.)

For the past 14 years I had been parking, whenever possible, in that driveway. I didn’t know it was a violation of law and didn’t think it was obstructing traffic because the farmers, once they park in back of the market, generally stay there all day.
