Victory Chicago Publisher After Visiting Hoover, Says Issues Will Be The Constitution, Balanced Budget, Stabilized Currency And Sound Farm Policy. ADMITS BETTER CONDITIONS But Administration's Planned Economy Acts As Check He Says Supreme Court Defends Rights of Business.

San Francisco, July 30 (fP) Republican president in 1937 was the prediction left with California O. O. P. leaders today by Coi. Frank Knox, Chicago publish The latest of nationally prominent Republicans to visit with Former President Herbert Hoover, Colonel Knox declared in an address here last night that a Republican President would take office in 1937 on platform to "planned nomy." contrasted planned economy with what he said was the "competitive philosophy visioned by the Iramers of the United States constitution." The key issues of the next campaign, he said, would be "defense of the constitution," a balanced budget, stabilized currency and a "sound" farm policy.

Colonel Knox, who denied that had any aspirations for the Republican nomination, left by airplane last night for Chicago, completing a. swing through California during which he expressed his political views in addresses at Los Angeles and here. He said he planned a trip through the east and south soon. Colonel Knox said his trip had convinced him there was an improvement in business but he clared that recovery was being retarded by what he termed the administration's "planned economy experiments." He attributed the improvement to a world economic recovery, which ue claimed started In June, 1932, and to "business confidence restored by the supreme court's NRA decision." "Amsrican business," Coionel Knox declared, "has- found a defender of its rights in the supreme court of the United States." Republicans Are Washington, July 30 of Republican activity looking to 1936 multiplied today as one prominent party member (tedared. there can be "no compromise" with the New Deal and another accused it seeking to "pervert or subvert constitution." en Republicans to nominate an "upstanding conservative" frcm the middle west for president, Senator Hastings (R-DeU declared: "There can be no compromise with the New Deal.

The only way the Republican party can save itself ss a party is to stick to well known American principles." Henry P. Fletcher, national chairman of the party, was the man who raised the constitutional issue. In a radio speech last night, he invited citizens of all political faiths to "help meet this challenge" and said the presidential race would "transcend mere party lines." "The constitutional barriers to "planned economy' are to be removed," said Fletcher. "Why? Because they stand In the way of a centralized, socialistic state, governed without restraint or limit, by a president and subservient congress." Against a Compromise. Recalling that President Roosevelt described the constitution a year ago as "resilient." Fletcher said: "Now that it Is shown that It can not be stretched to cover the socialistic policies of the New Deal, the issue becomes clear.

Either the constitution must give way to the New Deal, or the New Deal must give way to the constitution." Hastings said: "When you begin to compromise the New Deal you begin to with radicalism and the substantial conservatives no place to go. "The nominee should be from the middle west. A candidate for the east hasn't as good i chance as a middle westerner. "There Is a prejudice against the east. The best tiling the east can o'o is to take a man from the west who not prejudiced against the east." Asked what he thought of the chances of Republican victory in next year's presidential election, Hastings said: "If the chances aren't good, it will be too bad for the country." Hastings did not discuss Herbert Hoover as a candidate, but the qualifications he set would eliminate he be accounted a midwesterner by virtue of his Iowa nativity.

With Mrs. Ford, the motor magnate came here aboard one of his freighters several days ago for his annual vacation, timing it to coincide with the period during which his assembly plants throughout the country would be closed down for a fortnight. As usual on birthdays, Ford denied himself to interviewers and planned no ceremony of any kind.

Brilliant blue skies with clouds to break the burning sun put the temperature to 103 this afternoon to tie the mark made Monday, a mark two degrees below the season's high of 1U5. This near-record heat came after a morning which, though apparently as hot as usual, sent the mercury only to 99 at noon.

This was three degrees below the noon recording for Monday, The i xtreme heat continued far Into the night, sending a number of Emporians into their yards or onto porch roofs to find comfort con- to sleep. The thermometer rose early this morning from Its 74 degree minimum during the night and even the fore part of day was not cool. Generally fair weather is to continue tonight and Wednesday, except for the possibility of local thundershowers in the northeastern portion of the state this afternoon or tonight. The temperatures, especially if showers arrive to the northeast, Wednesday. may be lower Seme Relief Is Possible.

Topeka, July 30 (jp) Cool breezes which were sweeping out of the northwest yesterday faded out as they came into contact with the blistering heat of the prairies, leaving Kansas to endure at least two more days with temperatures close to or above 100 degrees. Only northwestern Kansas received any benefit from the cool winds, and even there the only effect was to lower the night temperatures about five degrees, although still leaving them above normal. Some slight relief may arrive tonight, S. D. Flora, federal meteorologist, said, but no radical tenty sature changes were indicated.

Low marks tonight, he said, jikely would be around 65 in Northern Kansas, 74 in the northwest, and between 75 and 18 in the south. Low marks last night generally were in the seventies except In the extreme northwestern corner where Goodland reported 68. Today and tomorrow, Flora said, temperatures would be close to or a little above 100 degrees. Chilly weather was reported in the northwest, Havre, reporting only eight degrees above freezing, but this cool wave showed no disposition to move southward. Prospects for rain were poor, Flora seeing only an outside chance for local thundershowers in northern counties.

Should no rain fall here before tomorrow night, this will be the driest July on record here. Skies were clear over the entire state today. Many Deaths from Heat.

Kansas and Missouri looked vainly for relief as a predicted cooler wave literally went to pieces as it hit the hot western plains.

M. Hamrick, federal meteorologist here, saw nothing more promising the next 36 hours than a possible local thundershower. Air Currents May Clash. The Kansas City weatherman saw some hope for slight relief from the heat today as gathering clouds struggled against steadily mounting temperatures. "Possibly a local thundershower tonight.

Not quite so warm," was the slender thread of promise held out by Federal Meteorologist Andrew M. Hamrick as the thermometer climbed again toward the hundred- degree mark. Mr. Hamrick said there was an expected clash of the air currents along the line of the Kansas-Nebraska boundary, which would result in a series of thunderstorms in the vicinity. Kansas City's lowest temperature In the last 24 hours was 82 at a.

Call Morgenthau To fax Hearing Senate Committee Wants Treasurer's Explanation of New Tax Bill, Criticized for Not Containing Roosevelt's Suggestions. EARLY ACTION EXPECTED Measure Approved by House Ways and Means Committee May Be Passed by Saturday Minority Report Forthcoming. Washington, July 30 The senate finance committee today called Secretary Morgenthau to appear tomorrow to "explain" the new $275,000,000 tax bill and tell why it does not contain President Roosevelt's suggestions for new graduated income levies and higher surtaxes. This action was taken a short while after the house ways and means committee had formally approved the measure.

Chairman Doughton (D-NC) said he hoped to bring it up on the house floor tomorrow for debate. The senate committee started hearings today. From L. H. Parker, chief of staff of the Joint congressional committee on taxation, it developed that the house bill measure narrowed the limits of the -graduated corporation levy suggested by the executive and contained an excess profits tax because it was thought this was a "fairer test" of ability to pay, Parker said the surtax increases had been started at $50,000 net income instead of the $1,000.000 "example" suggested by Mr.

Roosevelt because only around $5,000,000 or $6,000,000 in revenue could be raised if the boosts started at the higher figure. He estimated the yield would be $45,000,000 by lowering the brackets to $50,000. Doughton said if he failed to get the bill up for debate tomorrow it would be taken up "Thursday at the latest." "I hope we can get it passed by Saturday," Doughton added. "If we doa'L, we certainly cart get it through by Monday." The bill includes recommendations outlined by President Roosevelt in his message to congress June 19 advocating a "wider distribution of wealth." It embodies new taxes on Inheritances and gifts, in addition to those.already levied on estates and gifts; increases taxes on individual incomes and corporation excess profits and graduated levies on corporation net incomes. Indications were that Republican members of the ways and means committee would file a minority report criticizing the bill because of the contention it would do nothing worth while toward balancing the budget.

Although less than a dozen commlttcemen were present when the vote was taken, all but one oi the absentees left a proxy. The resulting vote was 17 to 7, with the Democrats agreeing solidly to approve the bill and the Republicans to oppose it. The only member not recorded was Representative Lamneck (D- Ohlo), who is ill. There had been forecasts that an attempt would be made in the committee to permit corporations to deduct from their taxable Income gifts made to community chests and charitable organizations not operated for profit. This did not materialize.

Today's committee session lasted less than 15 minutes. Committee Democrats, however, already had spent about two weeks working on the bill in secret sessions from which the Republicans were excluded. Parker Is Questioned. Later the House bill's surtax provisions reaching into Income brackets lower than recommended by President Roosevelt were questioned by Democratic senators as the senate finance committee opened hearings on the measur L. H.

Parker, chief of staff of the joint congressional committee on internal revenue taxation, told the committee the bill increased surtaxes beginning at $50,000 while- President Roosevelt used the excess of $1,000,000 as "an example" for consideration of raises. "Have you followed the President's asked Senator King ID-Utah). Parker, who helped draft the measure, said he followed the recommendations of the House Ways and Means committee. "So you the President's messages to start the increases at asked Chairman Harrison (D-Miss). "It was the declaration of the committee," Parker said, adding: "Of course no substantial revenue can be obtained by graduating surtaxes from $1.000,000 up.

That would only raise $5,000,000 or $6,000,000." The questioning developed that the bill also failed to follow suggestions regarding a graduated corporation income tax. The bill makes the rate per cent on corporation income not over $15,000 and 14'1 per cent on over $15,000. The President suggested a range of 10 3-4 to 16 3-4. Regarding surtixes, Parker said if the President's $1,000,000 "example" were used it would have stepped up surtaxes only on 4fi individuals In 1933. by starting the increases at $50,000, he said 7.D74 taxpayers would have been affected.

THE NEW TAX RATES. Washington, July 80 outline of the tax rates by which the. house ways and means committee proposes to raise around $275,000,000 more each year: Excess profits, estimated revenue, $100,000,000.

On $56,000 income, the $6,000 above $50,000, now taxes at 30 per cent, would be increased to 31 per cent, a money raise of $60. The present 59 per cent tax on that portion of an Income over $5,000,000 would be raised to 75 per cent. Inheritances, revenue $93,000,000.

New taxes in addition to those Already collected on estates, ranging from 4 per cent on the first taxable $10,000 to 75 per cent of the inheritance above $10,000,000. A flat $50,000 exemption to close of kin; a $10,000 exemption to others. Gifts, estimated $25,000,000,000.
