BY WILLIAM r. KERBY United prcss StnfY COrreSDOndentl


 Washington, Feb 10.-UP)- Democratic leaders pressed for pre- liminary action in the house to-day on proposal to make President elect Roosevelt q virtual dictator over federal finances.
 Conceding that congress can not or will not meet the governments financial crisis, party chieftains in the house sought to invest the new president with almost unrestricted power to cut expenditures, includ- ing the $1,000, 0,O00,000 war veter- ans fund.
 A vote to-day on n special "gag" rule to send the treasury post of- flee appropriation bill to confer ence with tic senate was the first step in Speaker Gamers campaign to clothe Mir Roosevelt with this power. In conference, democrats intend to add an amendment con- taining the grant of authority to MT Roosevelt.
 The special rule was brought for ward after republicans with Q cry of "Mussolinism" blocked an at- tempt to send the bill 10 conference yesterday. They objected to q senate provision empowering the presldent-elect to reorganIze or abolish any government agencies except tho executive departments under cabinet administration.
 Garner proposed sweeping exten- sion of this power. IIe would give MT Roosevelt authority to reor- ganize the entire government, ex- ecutive departments; reduce, alter or cancel government payments and contracts; impound appropriation nnd dismiss employees. Congross could check him only by q two- thirds vote of both houses.
 The presldent-elec is said to have asked for this authority, the greatest ever bestowed upon any American executive in peace time.
 Garner anticipates trouble, es- pecially in tho senate: but he holds that congress hns demonstrated It's inability to reorganlzc the govorn- ment efficiently or reduce expenses enough to balance the budget wlthI out any taxntoln.

JUDGE RAPS BANK FOR TASTY F0RECL 0SURE
Claims Thomaston Savings Smacks
 Of "Profiteering"
PeasIey Denies Petition Against Clara B. Oviatt and Others-Suggests That Counsel for Financial Institution Withdraw Action

 After hearing the issues in the case, Judge Peasley stated that the equity in the property was so great and the fact that the interest was practically paid, the bringing of the foreclosure action at this time smacked strongly of profittering. He said he did not want to en- courage savings banks to start actions of this nature. owing to their being 0 little bit hasty.
