Boston Judge Head

He was the only nominee, being

labor, wages and hours, reorgani
zation of the executive branch, of
the federal government, and the
planning of natural resources.
At least of equal importane to
member of congress were these
remarks on taxes:
“Unjust provisions should be
removed, provided that such
removal does not create new
injustices. Nor can we at this
time accept a revision of our
tax laws which involve a re
duction of aggregate revenues
or an increase of aggregate
tax burdens. Those least able
to bear them should be given
special consideration on the
lightening of inequitable bur
dens, particularly with re
spect to enterprises of small
business men of the nation.
In this way we may also find
assistance in the search for a
more effective method of
checking the growing concen
tration of economci control
and resultant monopolistic
practices which persist in
spite of the anti-trust statut
es. A further search for addi
tional methods to free com
petitive enterprise is called
for at this time.**
Didn’t Ask Urgent Action
The President did not ask for
action on tax revision at the spec
ial session of congress, a course
advocated by many members of
his party, who noted that the
question was receiving study by
the treasury.
Budget Be Balanced
Congressional committees ag
ain reiterated they expected the
next budget “can be brought
within a definite balance.’’
Attention to Business
President Roosevelt directed
special attention to business con
ditions thuily:
“Since your adjournment in
August there has been a mark
ed recession in industrial pro
duction. Industrial purchases
have been following a fairly
steady advance for more than
four years. The present de
cline has not reached serious
proportions, but it has the ef
fect of decreasing national in
come, and that is a matter of
definite concern.”

(By The Associated Press) i
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. j
—An urgent appeal was made
by the chief executive Sun
day, for an honest, accurate,
checkup on unemployment in
the United States and its Ter
ritories, of Alaska and Haw
aii.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Nov. 15,
t/P)—President Roosevelt yester
day broadcast an appeal to the
nation to cooperate in a “com
plete, honest, and accurate" cen
sus" of unemployment.
To Start Tuesday
He said that the census, start
ing this Tuesday, was necessary
in order to furnish facts upon
which the administration hopes
to base a sound, long-range pro
gram of employment.
Delayed Balancing Budget
The President declared that un
employment has delayed the bal
ancing of the budget. Unemploy-1
merit relief is not a permanent:
cure, he said, adding “a perman-j
ent ure is finding suitable jobs
in industry and agriculture for
all willing workers. It involves
cooperate effort in planning which
will lead to the absorption of
this unused manpower in pri
vate industry.”
