REVOLT AGAINST IMPOSSING
HIGHER INCOME TAXES
Washington, May 26, (AP)—
Congressional revolt against impos
sing higher Incoma taxes when
some of the country’s wealthiest
men have been paying .none, im
pelled the Roosevelt Public Works
program and spurred them to hasty
plugging the tax^law holes, as re
vealed in the Morgan inquiry, es
pecially when it was learned that
the partners in the firm paid no
income tax during the two hardest
years of depression, and poured
a stream of protests from back
home voters upon Congress, who
is already up in the air over the
revelation.
The pressure reached its highest
tensity in the House, which had
before it the passage of the hill
due before nightfall, the Public
Works Industrial Control bill,
carrying a new and highly onerous
schedule of high income taxes.
The tax protest is mingled with
block opposition to suspending
anti-trust laws which are neces
sary to the industrial program for
combinations to boost prices, cut
production and raise wages.
The measure, it is said, will
have the stlffest opposition yet
faced by a Roosevelt bill.

The appointment of Frank T.
hpll as United States Commission
er of : Fisheries whs confirmed Fri
day by the Senate. Mr. Bell, who
has been secretary to Senator Dill
of Washington, succeeds Henry
O'Mai lay. He entered upon his
new duties Saturday. His con
firmation came quickly after his
appointment by President Roose
velt.
Indications are now that the
special session of Congress will
not end until sometime after the
middle of June. (Much emergency
legislation remains to toe enacted.
Administration measures only "are
being considered, which means'
that other legislation must wait
over until the December session.
Delegate Dlmond is endeavoring
to secure the appointment of a
House Committee to travel to Ala*
ska this summer and make a thor
ough study of the fisheries and
Indian problems. Data secured by
the committee ,he believes, would
go a long way in insuring sympath
etic consideration toy Congress.
With reference to poetmaster
sbipi," .Delegate Dimond was told
by First Assistant Postmaster Gen
era! Joseph C. O’Mahoney that in
his opinion the President will pro
bably make no permanent appoint
ments until the regular seeaion of
Congress convenes in December.
With thousands of appointments
coming up, it is not likely he will
have time to consider them now.
In some cases acting postmasters
will be named.
Postmaster General James A.
Farley announced in New York,
Saturday that postmasters through,
out the country whose terms have
not already expired and who are
performing efficient and loyal ser
vice are to be permitted to com
plete the terms to which they
were appointed.
The Postmaster General issued
this statement:
“The first thing I want to say
about the postmasterahip situation
is very simple. No incumbent
vrhose term has not yet expired
end who has been rendering loyal
and efficient service to the govern
ment, need have the slightest fear
for removal, it will be the policy
of the Poet Office Department to
allow every efficient postmaster to
fill out his term.
Those postmasters whose terms
have expired, however, may nat
urally expect their successors to
'fy i
^ \
be appointed Just as soon as tbe
Department finds it possible in tbe
conduct of business to do so.
There have been numerous re
ports in tbe press attributing to
me and to tbe Administration an
intention to abandon civil service
examlations in tbe selection of el
igible candidates. There has never
been tbe slightest basis for these
reporta.
1 may add that tbe Department
has no Intention of abandoning the
historic custom of inviting the ad
vice of Members of Congress with
respect to tbe qualifications and
fitness of eligible applicants in tUp
various congressional districts."
