Struggle To Block
 Roosevelt For The
 Nomination Ebbing
Insiders Viewed His Chances At Chicago as Growing Newton D.. Baker Is Man Most Favored to Beat Him

There is much speculation as to the possibility of Roosevelt taking some spectacular action with refer Fence to Mayor Walker of New York, against whom charges are being brought.
 Some say Roosevelt could clinch the nomination and get start to- ward election by strong action in this case. Others, more cautious, suggest he should avoid any ap- pearance of using the situation to his own political advantage by ap- pointing a board of unquestionable standing to consider the evidence and report findings to him later.
 The fight against Roosevelt has sagged for want of a leader. Former Governor Smith attempted 1t, but failed to rally large sections of the party. Though he has com manded the respect of many of the most ntial.ademocrats as q courageous figure at this time. he has failed to strike any contagious sparks of enthusiasm comparable to those he set off in 1928. He has definitely encountered a stub- born feeling that he had his chance four years ago and should step aside now,
 Speaker Garner was projected into the early race with spectacular trumpeting. But the difficulties in the house of representatives have sapped his strength as presiden- tial figure despite q cleancut vic- tory over Roosevelt and Smith Tn California, due to the generalshil' of William c. McAdoo.
 The advantage Roosevelt has In this situation Is that as the first ballot roll call hears It's end, Roose- welt will be 50 overwhelmingly ahead of everyone else that 1t will Joe difficult to prevent stampede for him. He has many second choice pledges scattered in favorite son delegations--such as the Texas block---so that the temptation will be strong for these delegates to make q break for the bandwagon There Is nothing 50 important to politician as getting on the winner as soon as possible.

tax, but this was not expected to prevent final enactment today, Pro. gressives want the power com panies to pay the levy. They are angry because the house and sen- ate conferecs in compromising dif- ferences in the bill made 1t pay. able by the ultimate consumers.
 But under senate rules, the con- ference report must be taken as it Is or rejected as a whole, and il is not believed likely that any sen ate group would care to assume re- sponsibility for defeating the rev enue measure when congress and the administration are united in a mighty drive to balance the budget.
 As soon as 1t dispatches the tax bill to the White House, the senate will resume its labors on the $23S,- 100000 economy measure. The senate has voted to save $117,O00,- 900 by cutting ten per cent from all federal salaries over $1.000. It appears that this Is the form in which the pay cut will stand in the senate.
 GARNER BILL TUESDAY
 Washington, June 8.--(UP).-- The house was expected to give Speaker Gamers $2,30O, ,O00, ,OO0 unemployment relief program the right of way and adopt 1t Tuesday despite President Hoover's renewed attack and counter proposal call ing for doubling the capital stock of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
 The presidents counter proposal discussed by administration lead CTS and officers of the Reconstruc- ton Finance Corporation Sunday at MT Hoover's Rapidan camp, also calls for $500, ,000, 900 in relief loan to states for direct relief.
 The Garner billion- dollar bond Issue for non-productive public works was condemned by President Hoover and executives of the Re- construction Finance Corporation They again proposed that all fed. eral unemployment relief be ham, died through the corporation. A White House statement sum. marizing the Rapidan conference said bond issue would "unbal. ance the budget and would render financing of the operations of the Reconstruction Corporation ex. tremely difficult if not impossible and would increase rather than dc. crease unemployment"
 All but three house democrats are pledged to support the Garner bill. Republican Leader Shelf said he would summon his followers tc conference this afternoon and ask them to bind themselves tc vote against 1t. However. mum. Der of insurgent republicans, led by Representative LaGuardia, N Y., are expected to vote with the democrats.

vvcL <Ahhu NOHhoOs
 Washington, June G. (UP) - Adoption of prohibition resub- mission plank by the republican national committee is definitely predicted by some party leaders now busily engaged in drafting such declaration.
 II am confident now that a re- submirsion plank will be adopted said Senator Moses, N. H., after two hours and half conference of party chieftains in the seclusion of the Congressional Country club Sunday afternoon.
 Republican Leader Watson of the senate said virtually the entire discussion was devoted to the pro- hibition plank. He confirmed Moses view that the tendency of the conferees was toward resub- mission. Both drys as well as vets were represented.
 Those participating in the dis cussion included Postmastcr-Gen- eral Brown, President Hoover's chief political advisor, and James R Garfield, Cleveland attorney s)at- ed to be chairman of the plat form committee at the Chicago convention. Moses made 1t clear that no definite conclusions as to the wording of the plank had been reached.
 There were 15 present and 15 views were preyente,l," he said. Tt was decided to sleep upon the mat ters discussed and before MT Gar field leaves Washington there prob- ably will be another meeting of these same gentlemen with per ,haps few additions. to try to pro- duce consensus"
 T shall not make up my mind what this or any other plank shall be until we get together in Chica- go," Garfield said.
 Besides Garfield. Moses. Watson and Brown, those participating in the Country club session included Bingham, Conn; Herbert, R. I.

 pr Stevens said that, while there will be occasional scrimmages, the coaches will aim to make every days practice enjoyable instead of in any sense drudgery. Last year Dr Stevens introduced a regime of daily drill which was regarded by players as enjoyable. and this policy will be continued.
 Dr Stevens and Walsh will be in general charge of the drill. Booth. who will be .back-field coach next fall. Is busy making up back schol- astic work caused by his absence, and 1t Is not expected that he will be able to give much time to the spring drill.
