Early next week the Hou.se Ways and Means Committee will start hearings. Chairman Doughton N.C.) said the hearings would last two or three weeks. Republicans commented ironically yesterday as Democratic leaders said there would be no haste. Rising in the Senate, Senator Vanden-berg Mich asked if the leaders still had in mind the Saturday night goal. "Nobody has ever that we should pass It by Saturday night." replied Senator Barkley Ky.K "The newspapers were all in error, Vandenberg said, On Capitol Hill.

This resolution had already passed the House and was before the Senate. While the Senate was considering the wealth tax amendments, the House was to have initiated a new resolution prolonging the nuisance taxes for 30, 60 or 90 days.

Plan to Slash City's Relief Continued from Page 1 aid for city relief. The yield on the emergency relief taxes In the city will not Justify larger expenditures and the State will have to make up the difference. In this connection he said: Increase Taxes 'The State's contribution to home relief has to be increased even if the State has to increase inheritance and Income taxes to do so." Mr. Deutsch said he believed that most of the recommendations df the Governor's Commission and the Mayor's Committee, both appointed to study the relief question, should be accepted. The principal recommendations of both were that home relief should be set up on a permanent basis Instead of temporary, as at present, and that home relief checks should be increased.

Publicity Bureau Staff The publicity department of the Home Relief Bureau which Mr. Deutsch considers "100 percent useless," has a staff of one managing director, two managing editors, three senior editors, three editors, two assistant editors, five journalists and three writers. The last-named presumably turn out the copy for the large editorial staff to edit. Exclusive of the managing director, the average compensation is $36 a Mr. Knauths request of $9,000 for the payroll of persons he brought with him to the director's office should be cut to $4,000, Deutsch recommended.

"Knauth concentrates too much on the top and not enough in the pn-i mrl." Mr. Deutsch said. Double Salaries Paid The administration salaries are nlaeed at $1,420,000. all for non-re- Uef workers, Deutsch said. He also pointed out there is no necessity for paying duplicate salaries to Edward Corsi, director of home relief, and Miss Parrl assistant director, each receiving $6,680 a year.

Miss Parr, who was Commissioner of Labor and Industry for Pennsyl- from the Commissioner of Accounts, Deutsch said in the report. One gets $3,900 a year and she wants to raise him to $5,000 to make up the balance from home relief funds. The other gets $3,000 a year salary the balance also from home relief money. Mr. Deutsch would cut aown tne allowed relief clients for electric light in July.

He claims only half as much light is needed in the Summer and believes $50,000 could be lopped -oft the July budget in this way. xne doming allocation, vhile necessary, he said, could be essentially reduced. With the slashes will come a general reorganization ot the entire relief setup, with Gen. Hugh S. Johnson replacing many of those in key positions with associates from his NRA and army days.

The shakeup will affect chiefly those in the top positions of the Emergency Relief Bureau. So far as the man or woman receiving work relief is concerned, there will be practically no change in the work he is doing. "I am going to disturb what is being done well as little as possible," the General informed newspapermen at a conference in the Mayor's office following his talk with the Mayor. vWherever possible the projects now being carried on will be continued." 100,000 to Get Jobs While he was with the Mayor the General examined a large stack of blue cards lutlining new work relief projects for which plans have been drawn. Thesi plans, needing only the General's sanction and the necessary funds to put them into effect, were designed to provide jobs for about 100,000 able-bodied persons now receiving home relief.

MliMiMffcTEfl msnoEP I ACTOHY STOKE .172 UeKnlb Brooklyn AT THE FACTORY STORE ONLY I John Flaherty, former Tammany district captain accused of swindling civil service Job seekers out of more than $250,000 on promises to have them placed on eligible lists through political Influence, was sen-tenced today to serve from four to eight years in Sing Sing. Flaherty, with his left foot and lower leg in a cast, was taken from Bellevue prison ward to General Sessions anod was permitted to remain seated while hearing the sentence from Judge Cornelius F. Collins. Further sensational revelations in the civil service Job racket were promised when Judge Collins, before imposing sentence, casually mentioned a "civil service official who Is under suspicion" because his bank balance ins inconsistent with the size of his income.

From another source it was learned that a State departmental employe who has vanished is being sought as an accomplice of Flaherty. Judge Collins pointed out that Flaherty, although named in seven indictments, had pleaded guilty to only one, charging him with taking $600 from William J. Pyle of 1090 St. Nicholas Manhattan, on the promise to get him a job which never materialized. The other six Indictments, he said, must be considered In imposing sentence.

Also, he said, he had to consider the fact that Flaherty was alleged to have mulcted his victims of to $300,000: that one man, the son of a crippled father, had borrowed $1,600 and paid it for a job he did not get; and that one woman who paid Flaherty $500 is in the breadline. The court also found from tha probation report that when Flaherty was earning $1,800 a year, ha lived- in an apartment at 33 5th Manhattan, which cost him $2,800 a year. Flaherty was a prohibition enforcement agent for eight years. He was a captain in the Tammany district of Sheriff Dan Finn and at one time was secretary to City Court Justice Vincent F. Lippe.
