First major inflation test in House after vote
Washington April 30 The season's first major test on inflation followed a petition drive to force a House vote on a farm debt refinancing bill. Co author Ren Remke predicted a May 11 vote with a 2 to 2 margin, unsure of approval. Speaker putas said no parliamentary tricks would block the vote. The bill would authorize a $3 billion currency to refinance farm indebtedness with 1-4-8 percent principal and 2 1/2 percent interest annually. Berlin, a Pennsylvania Democrat, noted his name on the petition as 218, saying he had erased it once under pressure from Mother Coughlin and administration. The final signers were Beatt, Stewart, Wee, and Reilly.

Secretary Morgenthau told the Senate finance committee the home tax bill will fall short of Roosevelt’s revenue goals, forecasting a peacetime deficit near 5.96 billion dollars for the current year and a 2.08 billion dollar gap next year. He urged broader taxes and warned the budget must balance as soon as feasible. He noted only a portion of expected corporate tax income would materialize, and suggested revisions to Roosevelt’s plan taxing corporations by net income rather than dividends. The panel signaled willingness to adjust tax proposals as hearings continue.
