Roosevelt and the Democrats
of the House for leadership. I
propose that we take the whole
matter into q party caucus and
settle it,"
Woodrum received applause
equal to that given Rankin's
statement.
Byrns told the House the spe-
cial economy committee should
be created instead of sending the
proposed legislation to the Vet
eranS Committee because more
than one subject was involved.
Rankin demanded to know
whether the legislation would be
considered under rules permitting
amendment or whether gag
rules would be employed. Byrns
replied:
"A majority will have the
right to control the legisla-
tiOn."
Rankin responded:
81 am just as anxious to as
sist the President as anyone
but the disabled veterans have
been subjected to unfair at
tackS in the press and else
where and they should not be
made the goats of this depres-
sion. And they are not going
to be made the goats"
Rankin told the House it was
entering into a "deep subject" in
attempting to reduce veterans
benefits.
Asks Hearings
He demanded that the Economy
Committee be enlarged to is or 20
members, that hearings be held,
and that the House be given time
to consider the legislation.
This procedure would defeat the
Presidents proposal that he be
given the power Immediately.
While the. Presidents message
was being read in the House,
Director of the Budget Lewis w.
Douglas was an interested lis
tener.
Douglas has been working for
several weeks upon plans to re-
organize the Government and cut
expenses in an effort to balance
the budget.
Senator Harrison DO of
Mississippi called a meeting of
the finance committee to meet
at 3 p. m. to consider the legis-
lation.
"NO" Says Robinson
The first Senate note of op-
position was sounded by Senator
Robinson (R.) of Indiana, mill
tant friend of the ex-Soldier. He
declared America wants no die
tator." He said:
"T am surprised and not q
little concerned at the appar-
ent desire of President ROOse-
welt to have Congress grant
him dictatOrial powers. America
wants no dictator, and efforts
in this direction put forth by
anybody should not only be
frOwned upon but should be
promptly squelched.
cit would be cOwardly for
Congress to abdicate its powers
and responsibilities, and I, for
one, shall oppose any such pro-
cedure if attempted. / assume,
of course that both Senate and
House will refuse to give die
tatOrial power to the Chief
Executive"
Senator McNary (R) of Ore
gon, Republican leader Of the Sen
ate, said:

wisely and adequately admins
tered through the Executive.
"When a great danger threat
ems our basic security, it Is my
duty to advise the Congress Of
the way to preserve 1T.
eff Congress chooses to vest
me with this responsibility, it
will be exercised in a spirit of
justice to all"
While the Presidents message
did not mention any specific per
centage of cut in Federal salaries,
it is understood that he seeks
authority to make maximum
cuts of IS per cent.
AS salaries already have been
cut 81-3 per cent, this means
that maximum additional cuts
of 62-3 per cent are sought.
President Roosevelt makes it
plain, however, that he intends
to return employees to their old
salaries as soon as the return to
normalcy in economic conditions
warrants. He seeks authority to
do this without need of addi-
tional legislation.
The President said the urgency
was too great to wait until the
beginning of the new fiscal year,
next June 80.
He proposed, if Congress arms
him with the powers, to start
slashing Immediately.
Assures Balance
If Congress does grant his re
quest, he said:
"I give you assurance
there is reasonable prospect
that within a year the income
Of the Government will be suf-
ficient to cover the expenditure
of the Government"
The President did not go into
details of his legislative proposals
in his message. These were con
tanned in the bill itself, which
was prepared for introduction
simultaneously with the delivery
of the message.
House Goes Into Action
Continuing to act with unprece'
dented speed, the House immedi'
ately authorized the appointment
Of a special economy committee
to present the legislation embrac
ing the Presidents proposals.
Under the resolution, presented
by Representative Byrns of Ten
nessee, Democratic leader, imme.
diately after the Presidents mes
sage was read, Speaker Rainey
will appoint five members. Rainey
said he would appoint the com
mittee during the day.
Although the Presidents mes
sage was vigorously applauded
there were indications of hostility
in the House to Slashing salaries
and veterans benefits.
Representative Rankin CD of
Mississippi, chairman of the
World War Veterans Committee,
announced he would fight any
proposal Ito make the disabled
veterans the goats in this depres-
Sion.'
May Call Caucus
His statement was vigorously
applauded.
Representative Woodrum CD.D
Of Virginia, broke in with a pro.
poSal that the Democrats hold a
caucus on the legislation and
Byrns said caucus in all proba,
bility would be held.
Woodrum said:

year, according to Vice Dean

National Surety Corporation,
comes the story Of the middle
aged woman who received a
parrot for a present and then
wanted to get rid of it because
it Swore too much. She went
to pet shop and unfolded her
troubles.
The owner listened atten-
lively and then nodded.
"I understand perfectly, ma
dame," he stated, you want
the bird killed. But might I
suggest that it is not necessary
to shoot it? All you need do
is seize it by the legs and swing
it around and around in the
air. No matter how tough the
bird is, it will be dead when
YOU put it down."
The woman said she wasn't
capable of such thing, so the
pet man agreed to handle it
for her the following afternoon.
He arrived on schedule,
reached into the cage, grabbed
the tough and cursing parrot
by the legs and swung it
around and around in the air.
When he thought the bird was
dead, he placed it on a table.
In a moment the bird raised it
self.
"Cripes!" it muttered. what

and added to his record Of doing
things in a hurry when, during
his two-hour-and-a-half visit, he
saw the President, visited the Ma

local airport conditions.
Post described airport facilities
here as particularly rotten" and
"even worse than in far-off

The aviator made light Of his
most recent achievement. He ad-
mitted he was to go on the stage
in New York city, not as vaude-
vile actor, but merely as an
exhibitor Of his plane, the Winnie
Mae. He denied that the Winnie
Mae would be placed in the
Smithsonian Institution.
