President Roosevelt suggested to the newly convened congress Monday some of the tax burdens on business should be lightened, but he presented his capltol hill leaders with a vexatious problem by omitting to ask for immediate action on the recommendation. Endeavoring to carry out his wishes for "early" legislation on such subjects as crop control and wage-hour regulation, they encountered an insistent demand In both houses that quick steps be taken to help business ot of its present difficulties. Whether the demands would reach such proportions as actually to delay the president's Immediate program remained to be seen. The chief executive's recom mendations went to congress in a special message shortly after it met hi response to his call for the special session, a call which went out before the current industrial recession began. Aware many members were disposed to meas ure the value of prospective legia- latlon In terms of assistance to business, the president presented his proposals crop control, the wage-hour bill, government reor ganisation and regional planning as measures which would give such assistance.

Vanguards of the Japanese armies, heavily reinforced by newly arrived troops, were reported within 12 miles of Soochow, having swept westward after the capture of Kunshan, 20 miles, east of Soochow. Japanese lines still were some 125 to 150 miles southeast of Nanking, but foreign military observers predicted they could reach the Chinese capital by mid-December.

The Japanese were advancing in a great fanshaped formation nearly 100 miles long, stretching from the Yangtze river southward well Into northern Chekiang province, with the center before Soochow. Foreign advices said the bombing of Soochow had inflicted terrible casualties and enormous damage. Wuslh, further west, also was heavily punished.

Seventy Japanese warships were reported concentrated in the lower Yangtze river west of Tsungmlng island to support the landings and inland thrusts of fresh Japanese columns.

Asks That It Not Invalidate Any Future Crop Control ion.

WASHINGTON. UP). President Roosevelt made virtually a direct' appeal to the Bupreme court not to invalidate future crop control legislation. He related in his message to congress that the court had upheld labor legislation and "workers' security" legislation and thereby had sustained the power of congress to regulate Interstate commerce and "to tax' and to spend for the general welfare." "I hope and believe," he said, "that the supreme" court win hbl" again deny to farmers the protec tion which, it now accords to others." At the same time he made it plain the administration wanted ample authority to curb over production and over marketing, a power on which the department of agriculture, farm leaders and senate and house agriculture committee are virtually deadlocked. The attitude of the chief executive' was expected to hasten a decision by the house agriculture committee on the question of reviving the old AAA processing taxes in new guise.

Oliver Holden, chairman of the board of governors of the society, telegraphed the chief justice such a' suggestion was Irrelevant since the society was not a union. Hughes replied he had made it a "rule to abstain from associations which in any sense would be In compatible with judicial responsibilities, and while I am not persuaded there would be any such incompatibility in this instance, I think I should leave no room for misunderstanding upon that point- President Roosevelt declined to do so.
