 This action failed when Speaker Rainey and his fellow party stall warts mustered sufficient votes to prevent being themselves bound to an economy plan at variance with that proposed by the new chief executive.
 Rainey announced the original Roosevelt plan, cutting deep into the $1,000, 100000 annual veterans appropriations, would be brought forward to-day in the House. for action. sN He Immediately after the house met it adopted a resolution to consider the economy bill under two hours of debate. Under the resolution amendments would be barred.
 Rep Rankin, dem, Texas, re- served the right to raise a point of order against the order later on the grounds that 1t violated one of the house rules.
 Meanwhile the senate finance committee acted favorably on the measure with only two dissenting votes, those of Senators Clark, dem, Mo, and Conally, dem, Tex. The actual roll call was not to. be made public until absentees had been consulted.
 Rainey expected to secure enough republican aid to push through the presidents demands for sufficient authority to cut near ly $400,000,000 from the veterans and approximately $120. .000,0 900 from federal salaries.
 The amendment which would have riddled the presidents plan was presented in caucus by Rep Browning of Tennessee and was written into the economy bill by a vote of 15S to 112.
 It would have provided that no veterans compensation, disability allowance or pension, or the al- lowances to any veterans depend- ent. could be cut more than 25 per cent. Even advocates Of this plan admitted it would have rc- suited In halving economies asked by President Roosevelt. e2'T

Disarmament Is
 Some Worry
(Continued from Page 1)

(Continued from Page 1) conference was discussed last night at the White House by President Roosevelt, Secretary of State Hull and Norman H. Davis, U. s. dele gate to the conference. Afterward Davis left for New York. He is to return Tuesday for further talks before sailing for Europe.
 Davis and Hull declined to comment on their talk with MT Roosevelt. From well informed sources. however, 1t was learned that two factors are influencing American policy toward the con- ference:
 1-The rise of fascism in Ger many and the Sino-Japanese con- flict in the far east are threaten ing to nullify all that the Geneva conference has accomplished 50 far.
 2-This very danger is bringing the disarmament conference to q crisis.
 America's contribution to the conference. 1t was learned, will not be a new American plan" in the sense of the "Hoover plan, q definite proposal for scrapping a certain percentage of ships and guns. It is aimed rather toward a give-and-take agreement on the plans already before the confer- ence.
 State department officials are more alarmed than they have been in many months over the danger of war in Europe. :.
 The British share this apprehen- sion. This accounts for the hur- ried trip of Prime Minister Mac Donald and Foreign Minister Sir John simon to Paris. Their mis- sion, it Is understood. is to pre- vent breach between France and Germany.
