Sub Committee Approves Black amid Rally by Opponents
The Roosevelt administration won the first round in a rare senate battle over Hugo L. Black’s nomination to the Supreme Court. Opponents from Republicans and Black’s foes rallied for a longer fight while administration leaders predicted a quick victory. A final floor showdown next week seems unlikely. The Judiciary subcommittee voted five to one to report favorably, though Senator Borah reserved the right to challenge the nomination’s legality later amid questions about retirement act eligibility.

New Tax Plugging Bill Reported by Ways and Means
Washington dispatch reports a new tax loophole plugging bill would save the government 75 to 100 million dollars yearly. Chairman Doughton of North Carolina said the measure, calling for penalties on personal holding companies, will be brought up Monday. It raises rates on foreign and domestic personal holding companies, increasing overall tax take to about 83 cents on the dollar in some cases and targets foreigners with American holdings, actors, and family trusts to higher taxes. The bill seeks to curb schemes by the rich to avoid taxes and prevent incorporation of yachts, hobby farms, and pleasure ranches as tax avoidance.
