Au thoritative sources said tonight the Administration would redouble cf-' forts to recnact processing taxes when the new $799,000,000 tax bill reaches the Senate. This was made known as Senate leaders arranged to start hearings en that side of the Capitol as soon as an actual bill is drafted by the House Ways and Means Committee. The committee hopes to complete it.s hearing by tomorrow night.

A high official said the plan was to try to enact the processing taxes, requested by President Roosevelt but thrown out by House tax drafters, as straight excise levies, with the revenue going into the general Treasury fund. Outline Rate Schedule. AAA experts have outlined a tentative rate schedule which would be applied to a larger nnmber of commodities than were affected under the old processing taxes invalidated by the Supreme Court and which they estimate would yield from $221,000,000 to $360,000,000 annually. The President has suggested that $517,000,000 be raised over two or three vears from a "windfall'' tax on processors who collected the old processing taxes but did not pay them into the Treasury and new processing levies to meet this year's loss of revenue through invalidation of the old taxes.

Coughlin Opposed To Third Party Detroit Priest Urges Followers to Destroy Present Leadership of Roth Parties Detroit. April Charles E. Coughlin instructed of-liecrs of his National Union for Social Justice today to set aside all plans to establish another major party, and "diligently set. forth to the present leadership and the current phi'osophy which dominate both major He defined the union's buttle cry as "back to the traditions of Jackson and Lincoln. Down with the money changers." Noting that some of the district: meetings were to indorse candidates for Congress.

Father Coughlin said. "Careless whether a candidate Is a Democrat or a Republican, indifferent for the moment, relative to his attitude on matters of minor import, the National Union is pledged to indorse only that candidate who will work to force Congress to coin and regulate all the money in this nation." He added that the central office of the union at Royal Oak reserved the right "to approve or disapprove" indorsements given by the district assemblies of the group. the record of an incumbent member of Congress "is more reliable than any advertised pledge." Father Coughlin urged indorsement, of any member whose record "is dominantly in harmcny with the principles of social Justice. One request will be made of congressmen so indorsed, he added: "they will be asked to acknowledge and accept the indorsement in writing. In their letters of acceptance they will be asked to state their conviction that it is their duty to do everything in their power to remove from the privately owned Federal Reserve system its prerogative of roirnng and regulating the value money and to restore that preroga tive to Congress where the Constitu i- "phciiy places it.
