Thus, he says, a long step could be made in the direction of preventing the growth of monopolies. Actually his own Treasury depart- ment has proved to its own satisfac- tion from its own figures that the undistributed earnings tax did not bear so heavily on small corpora- tions as on large ones. Actually most of the suggestions as to why the business recession had come was aimed at b:g business concerns rather than small ones.

Such e Ion delay is not compatible with the President's normal mental processes. Had it not been for the business Xecession there would have been a battle between congress and the President almost as bitter, and probably as significant, as that ever enlarging the Supreme court last winter. Congress was all set Jur revamping of the undistributed earnings tax, and the capital gains Itax, long before the business men tack in the districts and states be- gan to blame the whole recession on governmental interference with business management and investment trends. The business reces- 6ion simply strengthened this de- termination. But it also determined the Presi- dent to yield, nt least in part, and to lay more emphasis on balancing the budget. This in turn promises Jess government competition with private business, particularly in the electric industry. f This administration eagerness to confine modification of the undistributed earnings tax is excellently illustrated also in the statement made by Sen. Aiben W. Barkley, Democratic leader, after a talk with j s t - ,tc-gi- j j j the President. Barkley said: "In my judgment, v.e cannot act this session (meanir g the short session) on proposals for amendment of the undistributed profits tax to correlieve new and porations." Contrast tins with Senator George, who says: "There can be no business recovery unless those who employ labor can ntain some of their earnings to pay debts and to expand operations. I am confident the congross will modify the provision imposing the surtax on undistributed earnings, and allow those earnings to be used by business in the interest of the workers."

For a short period late in 1933 Dewey was United States district attorney for lower New York, Medalie having resigned. A successor was appointed by President Roosevelt and the Owosso lad went back to private practice, a field which was netting him about $50,000 a year when he accepted the Herculean task of cleaning Manhattan's Augean stables in 1935. That job paid $16,695. . , Dewey did not know Luciano was the kingpin. He may have had a hunch, even though Luciano was "Mr. Ross" at the Waldorf-Astori- a and was a most inconspicuous character.
