WALKER PROBE
ACTION TODAY
HELD LIKELY
Roosevelt Expected to Take
Initiative; Legislators to
Await Move by Executive

ALBANY, N. Y, March %.
Governor Roosevelt will take
some action shortly on the
charges filed by the city affairs
committee demanding the re-
moval of Mayor Walker, Of New
York city, for misfeasance and
incompetency, it was indicated
today.
1t is possible, according to re-
ports, the governors action may
come within the next few hours.
Friends of the governor are
convinccd he will send a copy of
the charges to Mayor Walker and
request an answer at the earliest
possible date. This might mean
that Governor Roosevelt would
not be forced to dispose Of the
charges until after the legislature
has taken further action on the
proposed legislative probe of New
York city.
will Confer Today
In the event that the legisla-
ture should order an investiga-
tion, some of Governor Rooses
velt's advisors have pointed out,
the executive then would be in
position, if he desired, to hold
that a separate investigation of
Mayor Walker was not necessary.
The governor was to confer to-
day with his counsel, Samuel I.
ROsenman, on the Walker charges.
Much significance was placed
on the three-hour conference
which the governor had yester
day with Samuel Seabury, whom
he appointed recently as com
missioner to investigate charges
against District Attorney Grain
Seabury also is acting as referee
for the appellate division in its
investigation of magistrates courts
Rabbi Is Speaker
The conference led to reports
in the event the governor later
should order an investigation of
the Walker charges he might
ask Seabury to undertake the
task.
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise. who,
with DR.. John Haynes Holmes,
filed the charges against Mayor
Walker, spoke at the Jewish
community center here last night,
but refused to discuss charges in
any way.
Republican leaders of the leg
islature were undecided today
whether to attempt to pass the
resolution providing for the probe
in the Senate this week.
The legislature may not ad-
journ until April 18, and for that
reason there is a strong possibil,
ity that Senator John Knight,
Republican leader, may wait for
another week before attempting
to pass the resolution.

20 men took part in the elaborate

JOBLESS CRISIS
BELIEVED PAST

In the face of progressive de-
mands for a special session of
Congress to aid the jobless, Ad-
ministration leaders were con-
vinced today that the nation has
passed the peak of unemployment,
Reports of improved business
prospects, with frequent fall of
rain and snow over a wide area,
inspired Republican leaders to be-
lieve that better times are on the
way. They believed that Govern.
ment reports for February will
show distinct gain in employ
ment over the peak of 6,O50,OOO
unemployed in January.
Three Signs Cited
There were numerous signposts
cited by Administration leaders
for their optimism.
First, they were buoyed because
the stock market has shown
stability in the last few weeks,
with the bulls scoring advances
and withholding bear rushes; Sec
ond, they gained some enthusiasm
from reports of a better business
tone in Europe; third, they cited
a better psychological outlook in
this country.
Some Administration spOkes-
men regarded the automobile
trade as a future barometer. They
pointed out that the industry
is preparing for a big sale drive
in April, with its leaders hoping
for gains in business over last
year.
One motor expert declared there
would be a heavy demand for
new cars by habitual car owners
who have driven the old car Tor
two or three years due to stock
market losses in 1929. Another
predicted higher-priced replace
ments by those owners who BUY
a new car every year.
A revival of activity In the
auto industry, it was argued
will spur a score of other in
dustries toward recovery. This
would be true of the steel in
dustry in particular.
Snow and Rain Help
Nationwide snow and rain had
a tremendous psychological ef-
feet on business interests in the
drought areas. The precipitation
assured wide agricultural belt
of sufficient moisture for the
growing of garden produce and
grains.
The expected Treasury deficit
of $7OO, 100000 for the current
fiscal year and the $75,O00,O0O
drop below estimates in income
tax payments failed to shake
the confidence of Administration
leaders.
