Rocsevelt Says
COMING TO GEORGIA
Capital Gains Tax Is Un
der Dispute, Vinson
Says Today
WASHINGTON ~—{#)—, President
Roosevelt, answering a press con
ference question today, said it had
not been determined whether con
gress would have to enact new
taxes, He added, however, that as
things look now such levies will
not be necessary.
" fThe president remarked that
treasury studies are being made
and that he hoped they would be
in shape for use by congressional
committees meeting in November
to consider tax revisions.
- In answer to other queries, Mr.
Roosevelt said the undistributed
profits tax and the capital gains
are being given attention by the
treasury in this connection, k
~ These two levies recently have
drawn the fire of businesg spokes
men, who have asserted they were
‘partially responsible for the stock
market downtrend.
Critics of the undistributed pro
fits and capital gains levies have
contended they are undermining
‘the confidence of business mepn and
impending economic improvement
and stability.
| Chairman Vinson (D-Ky) of a
g v ey . o
ymmittee told reporters: =
“Wp are going to give the full
‘est and most careful consideration
to the gquestion of retaining, re
‘pealing or .revising the capital
gains tax.”
He has favored making repairs
on the tax on undistrfbuted cor
poration profits, chiefly to soften
its impact on weakx corporations—
such as those handicapped by de
ficits or debts.
~ The bpresident arranged a new
‘geries of conferences today to de
‘termine what the government will
‘do about a proposed loan on corn.

Wilkins Is Off to
Seek Lost Russian
Aviators in Arctic
BY DEVON FRANCIS
v NEW YORK — (#) — Sir Hu

will leave for the Arctic today with
|a “twofold purpose: to See six

| plore further into the possibility of
| controlling the price of silk stock
-5_1113‘.
The stocking business seems to
be hooked up in some way with
long-range weather forecasting.
“YWhenever I am asked why 1
go into the polar regions,” said
Sir Hubert, resting an elbow on
the wing of his silvered airplane,
“I always say, to find out how I
can prevent fluctuations in the
price of women's stockings.
“The present trip, of course, is
being made to find Sigismund
Levanedfsky and his fellow avia
tors, but incidentally I expect to
find out more about the weather.”
' In a nutshell, the theory is that
Ithe weather for 1960 can be fore
cast possibly in 1950, thereby en
!abling silk worm ‘owners to deter
mine in advance how many mul
lberry leaves will be available for
consumption by their herds.
Rubber manufacturers would be

ing established in the Arctic and

effects on seasonal conditions,” Sir
Hubert said.
“If the movements cap be trac
