The compromise was reached at closed meeting of a joint conference committee Thursday night. Committee members refused to discuss the compromise afterward, telling newsmen they had pledged themselves to secrecy. Yesterday, several conferees still were abiding by the pledge.

It then was discovered that the entire compromise, down to the last amendment, went to the government printing office Thursday night and was printed in yesterday's Record.

Senate Filibuster Kills FDR Farmer Sends $2 To Treasury Fund Washington (7V) The deficit of the Federnl Treasury was reduced two dollars yesterday, the last day of the fiscal year, by a conscience-stricken farmer. The farmer, who identified himself only as living near Winona, sent the two dollars, saying he claimed and had been paid two dollars more than he should have received out of the agricultural benefit fund. an investigation or th Iibor Relations Board by a special House committee was approved yesterday by he House rules com- mittee. Despite strenuoiis protests from members of the House labor com-j mittee, which is now engaged In conducting hearings on proposed amendments to the Wagner Labor Act, the rules committee reported a resolution by Representative Smith to create a special five-man committee to investigate the board and recommend new legislation. Representative Cox a member of the rules committee, had charged that the labor committee, by conducting long hearings, was "filibustering" to prevent any amendment of the Wagner Act at this sessioin.

Resolution Itesented Before the rul.s committee's vota Representative R.mspeck acting chairman of the labor group, told the former committee that both Democrats and Republicans on his committee "resented" ttse Smith resolution. "Personally, 1 have no objection to an investigation of ths National Labor Relations Board," Itamspeck added, "but as a member of thi labor committee I will object strenuously on the floor to th taking away of the Jurisdiction over this matter from my committee." Ramspeck asked the rules committee to delay action until Chairman Norton N. of the labor committee recovers from an illness. He said the labor committee had been engaged in hearings since May 4 and that there had been to delay. He added there were niar.y more witnesses to be heard and that he could not predict when the group would be able to report legislation.

I)enle Delay Rampeck was asked whether Mrs. Norton has said there would be no amendments thU e3ion and replied that he had seen bo such statements. "You're not delaying wilfully ar deliberately with your asked Chairman Sabath of the rules committee. "No, Ramspeck replied, "I don't think any committee couli have proceeded more expeditiously."

"These missing 40 billions should be yours.

This is wnat we are fighting for when we strive to restore and preserve our constitutional system of free enterprise. "Our democracy is the greatest heritage that any people in the world ever possessed. The American way of life has demonstrnted Itself through a century nnd a half. It has stimulated inore iiew enterprises, more inventions, has given us unequaled rising standards of living, netter housing, more food, greater freedom in our civil, religious and personal lives, than any people in history have enjoyed. We need only government policies that will permit this system to function as it formerly did." TAX REVISION SIGNED BY FDR Washington The tax on undistributed profits, object of much complaint by businessmen, received its death blow yeeterday when It was announced that President Roosevelt had signed the tax revision bill recently passed by Congress.

In place of the controversial levy, the new bill places a flat levy of! 18 per cent on corporations which earn more than a year. It also makes other revisions In the revenue structure, and continues the three-cent, out-of-town postage rate and string of so-called "nuisance levies." Meantime, the House Ways and Means Committee was told that proposed removal of tax exemption from governmental securities would "cost you more then you'll get." Bigger Shortage Probable in New Fiscal Period Washington Fiscal New Year's Eve 'found the Treasury's income short of costs last and the gross national cfht roughly $40,378,000,000. The deficit was the third highest In peacetime history and the debt largest in history. The federal bookkeepers turned the ledger pages to the next fiscal jfar, which is expected to show higher expenditures and a larger def.c.t. Not counting the extrabudgetary lending program suggested by the President, the next year's expenditures, on the basis of pending appropriations, are expected by officials to exceed revenues by rougtily As on the regular New Year's I've.

Tieajsury officials stayed up past midnight, not only to see the old year out, but to worry about President Roosevelt's expiring monetary powers, concerning which the Senate was having a lU-ht.

WPA, PWA, and a host of other agencies Jailed to spend as much as ex-prcted. WPA, however, fell the estimate mostlly because Congress sliced off the last WPA appropriation. Tax Gains Scored Business during the year turned eut to be somewhat more profitable than calculated, and higher income and. other taxes pushed the year's Treasury revenue total to $5,670,000, which was $150,000,000 more than the President expected.

Although lagging behind the revenue total of the previous year, the receipts were the second best since the depressor, began. The deficit marked down yesterday was the ninth in a row.

m. (1CST), lanky, lantern-jawed Senator Tyd-ings, Maryland Democrat whom President Roosevelt attempted to "purge" in last rummer's primaries, arose to deliver lh coup-de grace. It wni reported that early in the day, Tydinga had gone to Senator Vandenberg the acknowledged organizer of the filibuster, and expressed a wish to make the last, pic-mid-niRht speech. Readily, the Michigan Republican aRreed, and later he chortled repeetedly over it in conversations with his friends. It would, he though, "make them (the Administration men) madder than ever to have Tydings do the job." The 'atter is one of the.

few In the Senate who can transfer a filibuster from a dreary time-killing reading of old speeches to a sprightly, amusing monologue on almost anything, including the subject at issue. Congress Powers But last night he worked solemnly into the issue of the moment. Striding back and forth, and lashing his arms for emphasis, he said there was one question to be settled. That, he said, was: "Shall we, now that the time limit is expiring, recapture the right vested in Congress by the Constitution to fix the value of the nation's money. "Or shall we give up that power in advance, without an emergency, to the President of the United States and deprive ourselves of the power, in case of further need, to take action that Congress may deem wise?" It was ironic, he continued, for Congress to be constantly criticizing foreign dictatorships and simultaneously enacting legisla- tlon bestowing dictatorial power upon the President.

"I think we have gone far enough in that direction," he shouted. "I the time has come to restore to this country the time-honored methods of government, and have jthe powers vested in the Congress Money Rule I Vandenberg said, his voice break-j ing. 1 He denounced the purchase of foreign silver as a policy of "fertiiiz-Jng foreigners." i Asserting flatly that Mr. Boone. velt'g powers over the dollar would die at midnight, he offered the administration leadership a compromise.

He proposed that, the stabilization fund created to keep the dollar steady in foreign markets be continued, but that the adnunistration's authority to devalue the dollar be ended. Throwing open the coat of his white linen suit, Vandenberg rested his foot on a chair and read from the works of Adam Smith, economist. Galleryites stood and craned their necks as he finished reading, 'waved along finger and shouted: "Devaluation is a juggling trick which fools nobody and ultimately penalizes everybody." Once he referred scathingly to President Roosevelt as "the autocrat of Pennsylvania Avenue." During the relief debate, Senator Holt W. Va.) assailed the administration of WPA and exchanged bald accusations with one of his colleagues. Administration leaders sat help-lesly looking on.

Delay Money Hill Vote. The money bill earlier had received the approval of the House. 229 to 160, after Republicans in that body, by an unusual and noisy filibuster, had made sure the relief bill would be considered by the Senate before it turned to the monetary measure. This purpose they accomplished by simply delaying a vote on the monetary measure until the Senate's relief debate had begun. The consequent situation was to give the Repunl cans an undenied advantage It left them with two bills to talk about between mid-afternoon ar.d midnight, instead of one.

Holt tangled with Senator Mur ray Mont.) in an exchange or statements that left all parliamentary amenities aside and moved Senator Burke (D, presiding at the time, to remind the two of the Senate's rules. Among other things, the young. West Virginian asserted that in a desire to defeat Senator Wheelerl of Murray's state. Montana. Wheel-1 er's federal patronage was taken from him and given to Murray.

"That's absolutely a lie," Murray! retorted. Holt merely grinned. Murray went on to assert that Holt was "obsessed" with the ideal A i M-od i i tr WPA nrtded i He sent a telegram to the chair- men of the House and Senate Banking Committees opposing ex tension of the President's power to devalue the dollar. I Such a one-man control over the most far-reaching and impor-, tant force in the nation's economic and social life Is dangerous," he said in his telegram. "Kxtension of this power means the administration could hold the country in deflation or throw it into a boom at its own pleasure even to win an election.

Congress should recapture its constitutional powers over money and itself exercise them as the Constitution provides." Senator Nye N. gave the dinner for Gannett in a private dining room off the Senate floor so that nearly a dozen Republican senators attending could keep In touch with developments. Nye said the dinner was given to repay hospitality which Gannett had extended him on numerous occasions when he visited Rochester and denied it had any political significance. Former Gov. Harry Nice of Maryland, another laughingly admitted, however, that "some politics" entered the discussion.

Others at the dinner said several of the senators present paid tribute to the publisher for his fight against the administration reorganization bill last year. Suggestion Laughed Off Gannett likewise laughed off suggestions emanating in some political circles that the nffnlr might be a movement to head off the Presidential boom for New York's District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey. "I had to come down here tonight to make a radio speech and Senator Nye took this occasion to arrange the dinner," he said. Gannett delivered a radio address on tie "failure" of the Roosevelt administration over WOL Among the guests invited to the dinner were Kenneth E.

S. Collectivism The nation has "moved into the red with Roosevelt" at the rate of four billion, 800 million a year, said Gannett in his radio talk. The publisher also charered that President Roosevelt is heading the country toward collectivism, quot- ng Adolph A. Berle, assistant secre tary of state, as saying, "Over a period of years, the government will gradually come to own most of the productive plants in the United States." "Where do we stand at ths end of this fiscal year?" Gannett asked.

"Mori than 40 billions of public debt, taxes so heavy that they stifle the initiative of new development that would help create em ployment. Twenty-five cents out of every dollar goes for taxes. Wc have more than 10 millions of unemployed, 26 million men and women are living with government assistance. That means that one person in five of our entire population is dependent upon taxpayers." Referring to the Berle statement, he continued: "If this isn't collectivism, then I don't know the meaning of that term. over when itself bility When our government takes the power of production, ovir government entrenches in office beyond the possi-of removal, then we have the same conditions that exist in Russia, Germany and Italy.

Spending Culled liludgeon "It is easier to get into that condition than out of it. The greater the dependence of business and employment upon government, the more federal money is needed. Almost every big Industry sells a part of its output to the government or to concerns manufacturing for the government. Thus, the administration's spending program becomes in effect, the bludgeon over all business, becomes a bribe, paid with taxpayers' money for the perpetuation of the New Deal. "When the President promised recovery, we gave him powers so great that he himself said, 'In other hands fhey would become shackles upon our At his request we gave him unlimited billions more to spend at his personal discretion than had all our.

presidents together since George Washington. "There is no alibi. The Presi- dent has failed. WTe do not have recovery. We have debt, depression, unemployment.

With such a record, the manager of any business would be asked to resign. "Nations which followed the road of encouraging private enterprise, which President Roosevelt traveled in the first hundred days, enjoy far greater prosperity than we.

Hatch Charges Destruction Of Bill Washington (TP) A Senate-approved bill to forbid pernicious political activity finally emerged from the House Judiciary Committee yesterday, but in such a form that its author. Senator Hatch (D, N.

declared the measure had been Reporting to his colleagues that the House committee had eliminated a section restricting political activity by federal employes. Hatch told the Senate: "This action by the committee presents en open, direct and posi tive challenge to the leadership of the Democratic Party. That leadership, having openly declared in favor of the objectives, is now confronted with the oppo-tunity of writing its professed beliefs into law." President Roosevelt recently told a press conference that everyone was agreed on the objectives of the bill, but that the measure was badly drawn and that the House committee was redrafting it. Comment on Republican Republicans had raised the question whether administration leaders intended to block the measure. which pn-ssed the Senate Apr.

24. Representative Martin (R. the House Republican leader, observed that enactment of the measure would make it difficult for an administration to control a party convention. Asserting that Congress could not hide behind so-called imper fections of language, Hatch said he thought it would be "a simple matter" to redraft the language to accomplish th objectives sought. He added: "Shall federal employes be per cnltted to engage in political actlvi ties? Shall they continue to control and dominate conventions? This is the issue.

It is definitely drawn. The challenge must be met and met openly." Some, SeHlon Intavt' The House committee left Intact sections prohibiting the political use of relief funds and banning the use of official position to influence the votes of relief workers. Hatch said Representative Denp-sey had announced he would seek to amend the bill on the floor to restore the stricken section.

The measure to halt inflow of immigrants, sponsored bv Senator v-r jby the Immigration Committee, however, to permit entry of the refugee children if the proposed legislation regarding them enacted. Complicating this, the Banking Commutes amended the refugee children bill, introduced by Senator Wagner N. to provide that the children admitted ahould be deducted from the regular immigration quotas. The children would be admitted over a two-year period, would have to be 14 years of age, or younger, and be assured a home in this country.

It in slightly after 12 Continues Speech But regardless of the fact that the deadline had been reached, he plunged on with his speech For hours the Administration leaders had fought for the legislation with their backs to the wall. About 8 p. m. they finally succeeded in placing the beleaguered bill before the Senate.

The legislation, which had spent a hectic day, caught in a House filibuster and then waiting on the Senate doorstep while that body gave final Congressional approval to the $1,753,000,000 relief appropriation bill, ran, immediately into more delay. Republican senators, who had announced they would not filibuster, but nevertheles would talk the measure to death," were waiting for it. Plan to Hold Session At the last minute, faced with almost certain defeat, the Demo cratic leadership threw a new contention into the controversy. They said that even if the measure were passed long after midnight, when the monetary powers expire under existing law, it would revive those powers. On the chance that the courts might sutain such a view, they made plans for holding the Senate in session until morning, if necessary.

The question involved has been widely disputed at the Capitol in the last few days. Only yesterday morning. President Roosevelt told reporters he had been advised that entirely new legislation would be necessary if the pending measure failed of passage before midnight. The powers in question were granted three years ago, for a period ending at midnight. The legislation before the Senate, by its language, continues them.

The President's view was that a law which has expired cannot be continued. Galleries Fill Up As the debate on money started, the galleries filled up and many House members crowded in to see the show. Senator Townsend foe of administration monetary policy, got out a thick manu script, rested it on a stack of five books, and beean to read. I jje as particularly emphatic in denouncing the policy of buying iforeign silver. "All we have to show for the poncy is a ioc or silver in a hole at West Point," he said.

"If this country bought foreign copper, at least it would such metal." Townsend recently succeeded In attaching to the bill an amendment prohibiting purchase of foreign silver, but later it was knocked out. Senator Adams spoke in favor of a now-abandoned version of the bill, under which domestic silver would have been bought at the price of 77.5 cents per ounce (as compared with 71.1 in the present bill) and the devaluation powers of the President would have been killed. He complafned that instead of sticking by this version, Senate conferees who worked out a "co T1 bp" with tha UmiBA 'ari m- promise with the House "capitulated without firing a shot." He urged Senators from the silver states to vote against the present bill, saying they could get a "proper price" for silver later. Senator Wagner N. YJ, defended the Senate conferees, saying their action was necessary "so this legislation would not lapse." Hits Silver Tolicy Senator Vandenberg Mich.) said the dispute demonstrated the desire of the President "to continue the rubber stamp surrender by Congress of its own Constitutional prerogative" over monetary matters.

House Republicans, as determined in their opposition as their Senate colleagues, gave the latter, by their tactics of delay, several valuable hours advantage. By forc- ing five calla of the House roll and by other strategems, they stretched what is usually a quiet 10-minute routine, into four hour carnival of bedlam and hubbub. In the end the bill was approved, 229 to 160.

I.IT WWzlw I idny E'tip item en Fifteen minutes before midnight he turned to his more familiar vein of sarcasm. Expects Banks to Open He recalled warnings from President Roosevelt of calamitous results which would ensue if the bill failed to pass. "Thirteen minutes from now," he said, while the galleries laughed, "will be the first of July, and I have a feeling that even in New York the grass will not be growing in the streets. I have a feeling that the banks will open, too." He was equally confident, he said, that tne sun wouia use.

No nation, he said, could wage monetary war against, me unueo States which this country could not equip itself to fight within a fortnight. "And that's the reason Congress does not. have to give up its power," he said. "That's the reason Congress can now safely retain that power." At midnight he paused, glanced at the clock and said: "I note we are.
