GROUP OF BUSINESS
LEADERS MEET WITH
PRESIOEMTROOSEKLT
Washington, June 1. (UP)
—President Roosevelt tonight
personally pushed his business
recovery drive when he met
with eight of the nation’s lead-
ing industrialists to obtain
their views and discuss means
of restoring economic equili-
brium.
The meeting was arranged
by Secretary of Commerce
Harry Hopkins who has be-
come Mr. Roosevelt's liaison
agent between business and
the government.
Present were Averill Harri-
man, chairman of the board of
Union Pacific; A. D. White-
side, president of Dun and
Bradstreet; E. R. Stettintus,
Jf„ of United States Steel; J.
F. Fogarty, president of the
North American company;
Charles C. Conway, chairman
of the board, Continental Can;
Gano Dunn, president of the
White Engineering corpora-
tion ; Charles R. Hook, head of
American Rolling Mills, and
John D. Riggers, Toledo, Ohio,
glass manufacturer.
The eight, representing a
mide variety of industries, are
members of Mr. Roosevelt’s
business advisory council,
which met prior to the White
House session.
The White House did not
reveal what trend discussions
would take but it was pointed
out that the conference fol-
lows sporadic controversy be
tween the administration and
bnsiness regarding deterrent
taxes and federal fiscal poli-
cies.
Since collapse of the presi-
dent’s so-called “business ap-
peasement” drive last winter,
the administration has moved
on various fronts in what is
seen as a r.ew attempt to reas-
sure industry and induce cau-
tious capital to come into the
investment market.

UNDER THE DOME AT AUSTIN
(By Gordon K. Shearer, United Press Staff Correspondent)
Austin, Tex., June 1. (UP) where they can. be worked up-
—Despite refusal of the House
and Senate of the Texas Legis-
lature to agree upon a sine die
adjournment date, all indica-
tions point toward an early
end of tbe session. Few expect
it to run beyond June 10. If it
continues that long it will
have
sion.
Signs that point to an early
adjournment are: (1) Ap-
pointment of committees to
conduct investigations be-
tween sessions; (2) presenta-
tion of gifts by the House
membership to the speaker;
(3) sending appropriations
bills to conference committees.
The last of the three is the
most convincing sign that the
legislators are about to end
their work. Until appropria-
tion bills are. past their floor
battles in House and Senate,
there is no hope of adjourn-
ment. When they are tucked
away in conference committees
Funeral services were held
Thursday morning for J. E.
Chapman, 70, at New Pros-
pect church, Rev. E. V. Tun-
nel! conducting rites. Mr.
Chapman succumbed sudden-
ly Wednesday morning about
10 o’clock at his home in the
New Prospect community. In-
terment was in the community
cemetery.
Deceased was a pioneer cit-
izen of this section, having re-
sided here for some forty
years. He was prominent in
the affairs cf his community,
taking active part in the educ-
ational, civic and spiritual in-
terests of his community. He
was a good citizen, beloved by
all who knew him, and his de-
mise brings deep regret to the
citizenship throughout this
area. -
His wife preceded him in
death Nov. 7, 1937.

on without debate or talks to
the gallery, rapid progress is
made and the end is in sight.
Similar progress has not
been made on tax bills. House
members are threatening to
"stay all summer’1 to pass a
tax bill. Senators are stand-
been a five-months ses-' ing pat on a determination to
submit the tax question to the
people in a constitutional
amendment, which will limit
expenditures are well as pro-
vide revenue.
That the tax question will
hold the Legislature in session
seems doubtful. A similar
stalemate over taxes failed to
prevent adjournment of the
45th Legislature without a tax
bill, and the same thing can
happen again.
The state still is operating
under the tax levies author-
ized by the 44th Legislature
in 1935.

Center, Tex., June 1.—Steps
toward the formation of a new
civic organization to replac°
the chamber of commerce,
which has been inactive for
several months, were taken &i

Austin, Tex., Jane 1. (UP)
—Sen. Joe Hill of Henderson
today offered a resolution in
tbe Texas Senate for an inves-
tigation of expenditures cf
what he termed a lobby to de-
feat statutory taxes and pro-
mote a constitutional amend-
ment providing for a sales tax.
Hill’s resolution proposed a
committee of five Senators to
make the investigation and au-
thorized expenditure of $2/500
for the purpose. He proposed
to give the committee power
to require production of ail ex-
pense accounts, vouchers, ho-
tel bills, “and such other data
as may be necessary to bring
about and effect a full dis-
closure as to the amount of
money that has been spent
during the current session of
the legislature by the various
companies, groups and asso-
ciations that have been repre-
sented in Austin by lobbyists.”
Sen. Clay Gotten of Pales-
tine tried to get a suspension
of Senate rules to have the
matter referred to the Senate’s
standing investigation commit-
tee but failed to get two-thirds
vote necessary to make that
disposition of the resolution.
Hill said he' would seek Sen-
ate action on his resolution to-
morrow.
In a lengthy preamble the
resolution recognized the
right of citizens urge mat-
ters before the legislature but
asserted this right was being
abused. t

composed of Luke Motley, Jr.,

bership campaign.
