MIDDLE CLASS
MAY FEEL TAX
LAfSTEETH
‘Liberty League9 And
Republicans Give
Hints As to Fight
On Measures
WASHINGTON. July 5. f/P)—New
tval circles are studying the advis
ability of broadening the tax-the
wealth program to reach Into the
middle Income brackets as well as
the $1,000,000-a-year class.
Some legislators and experts are
known to feel that If the new taxes
are levied only on the very wealth
iest persons, the revenue resulting
would not live up to expectations,
w This disclosure came after a
White House conference in which
plans were laid to push ahead with
the tax plan and enact It this ses
sion. despite republican demands
that the whole question go over to a
special session in the fail.
Meanwhile critics of the plan were
giving an Inkling of the arguments
they will use when it comes to the
debate stage. Senator Metcalf (Ji
ll I). in a Fourth of July address,
called on the country to “register
s powerful objection to the levying
of confiscatory taxes In order to
gain the political support of social
ists and radicals of every stripe.”
The American Liberty league
called the president s plan a trans
parent political gesture "
Chairman Dou'rhton <D-NC) who
attended the White House confer
ence. said some legislators “feel we
can get some additional revenue
without injur tice to business.”
He disclosed that the question of
extending ax revision to lc-wer
brackets than previously indicated
had been discussed.
Doughton’s committee will begin
hearings Monday, with treasury ex
perts on the stand. No specific tax
bill will be before the committee.
Doughton said we want to get full
information before framing a bill."

'THUNDER OVER MEXICO' PROVES
ONLY A RUMBLE BUT CHANGES IN
POLICY ARE OF VAST IMPORTANCE

The Mexican church now ha* hopes for a more liberal policy under President Cardenas, who now is ia
supreme political power. His recent “silent" victory over Calles was interpreted as a victory for labor.
BY HARRY LEVIN
Central Press Correspondent
MEXICO CITY. July 5 —"Thun
der over Mexico" this time has
been a deep rumble, rather than a
deafening roar.
In one of the quietest “storms"
Mexico ever has seen, the Mex
ican political skies have been
cleared. Gen. Plutarco E. Calles, i
former president of Mexico, who
retired several years ago but con
tinued to choose his successors
from his famed ranch at Cuerna
vaca. rules no more.
And his 39-year-old protege. Gen.
LAzaro CArdenas, whom Calles
"made'* president, has, with a
sudden startling show of independ
ence, "purged” his cabinet of Callis
tas of Calles men, including Rodol
fo Calles. a son of General Calles.
Contending Forces *
“CArdenas is a radical” clamored
the allistas.
“Old Calles has ruled too long!”
replied followers of President Car
denas.
Then the crisis came to a head.
In the past such political crises
in Mexico often have ended in long
and bloody civil wars, such as
brought leaders like Pancho Villa
and the late President Alvaro Obre
gon into prominence. There are.
however, many reasons, political
observers declare, for the present
peaceful solution.
Calles Past 60
It is pointed out that Calles al
ready is past 60, and an ailing,
feeble man. Recently he was rush
ed by plane to Los Angeles for a
major operation. And since 1931,
when he commanded the Mexican
federal forces which crushed an
abortive revolution by dissatisfied
army generals, Calles has lived
the life of a great landed proprie
tor on his Immense hacienda at
Cuernavaca.
On the other hand. President
Cardenas, a Callista for more than
a decade, and formerly Calles'
chief lieutenant, has rallied the
voters behind him. The National
Revolutionary party, to which both
Calles and Cardenas belong, de
nounced the Callista broadside of
criticism directed against its plat
form of socialist education. And
the Mexican national chamber of
deputies and senate voted by a
huge majority to back Cardenas.
Platform Causes Dissension
Much of the discord between
Calles and CArdenas has sprung
from carrying out of the platform
or the party. Planks include dis
establishment of the Catholic
church, socialist education In
public schools, expansion of labor
legislation, road improvements and
cutting up of the great estates for |
the landless farmers.
Around the religious question
Mexico has been lauded and de
nounced. In various states, devout
natives have risen in revolt, and
throughout the nation there have
been numerous clashes between
Catholics and advocates of anti
clericalism. According to new mem
bers of the presidential cabinet
picked to replace |he Callistas.
there is to be a diminution of
"church baiting." And several athe
istic officials, though staunch Car
denas men, are being ousted, it is
revealed.
Cause of Rupture
First indication Bf the Calles
Cardenas rupture came, however,
over a different matter. Calles re
buked Mexican labor for striking.
The latter gToup, or.e of the mo6t
powerful voting factions and cor
nerstone of the Mexican Revolu
tionary party, became furious. Andi
President Cardenas, observers say,:
seeing his opportunity to free him- i
self of Calles’ influence, defended
labor against the charges of "trea-1
sonable activities.'’ He has avow
ed that the Mexican government
will continue to allow strikes!
wherever organized labor deems it
necessary.
Another Troublous Question
Another source of antagonism
has been the agrarian problem.
Most of the great estates contuiue
to be held by powerful generals
and aristocrats. Statistics disclose
that the increase in the number
of small land owning farmers has
been small, and far below the
theoretical “six-year plan’’ the re
voutionary government has set up.

uarpers point out tnat tne revolu
tion merely transferred the huge
estates from the dispossessed “capi
talists" to the army generals.
Though C&rdenas has the upper
hand, observers point out too, that
the transfer of power to him took
place only after regiments of the
army were garrisoned in Mexico
City. They add that should Car
denas continue to go “socialist".
General Calles may find himself
spokesman of the conservatives and
that such conflicts in Mexico usual
ly are decided not at the polls, but
in the fie#l with guns and troops.

Rural Education Work Aim
Of Ne*r President
Of N. E. A.
DENVER, July 5. (AP)—A keen-wit
ted little woman from Iowa's farm
lands laid a small hand to the
throttle of the nation’s biggest ed
ucational machine Friday.
But that hasn't made Miss Agnes
Samuelson of Shenandoah. Iowa,
forget, she smiled, that ahe still is at
heart a “country schoolma am.”
“At first I was thrilled by the
news, but I sobered with the though:
of the responsibilities and the hard
work that lie ahead." said Miss Sam
uelson, whom the National Educa
tion Association elected Its presi
dent for the coming year in closing
its convention Thursday night.
Then, determinedly, she said she
hopes to help steer the N. E. A. to
ward a “new frontier,”—rural ed
ucation.
“The country schools and the N.
F. A. must be brought closer togeth
er.” she said.
Small of stature and placid of dis
position. Iowa’s superintendent of
public instruction yet has definite
convictions.
She thinks, for one thing, that
"children really like to go to school."
She regards schools as “service sta
tions on the highway of life.” She
contends children “should not be
allowed to grope around but shown
the way to freedom through discip
line.”
Miss Samuelson. who succeeds Dr.
Henry Lester Smith of the Univer
sity of Indiina in her new post, dis
missed some of the tasks she said
•re facing the N E A.
One “is in emending education
from both ends.”
“We've get to drop that idea that
education is a five-to-21 year term.”
vhe said. ‘This nation needs educa
Mon for the children now locked
upon as too young to go to kinder
garten and for the adults for whom
school days ended many years ago."
She urged a ‘flexible curriculum ”
which would permit chiUren to take
t)*e subjects that are nearest their
hearts and Interests.
