about year ago, police said

nection with the alleged plot the two
men have kept guarded silence.

He will propose sweeping change
of government. His plans call for an
extra session of the new Congress, If
one is necessary, and it appears that one
is; an adjustment of the tangled inter-
national situation, and program for
closer State and Federal relations.
In the new Congress, Mr.. Roosevelt
wants legislation to balance the budget,
for farm relief and for a reorganization
of the Government.
Just how soon after he takes the oath
of office March he will call in the
Congress is problematical. but in view
of his determination to have the farm
legislation apply to the 1888 crops, it
is expected he win order a meeting
by the middle of April.
Will Confer With Governors.
On the Monday after he enters the
White House, Mr.. Roosevelt will meet
at the conference table the Governors
Of the 48 States, with view to making
taxation lighter and unemployment re-
lief more widespread
About the same time he will sit down
individually with representatives of
Great Britain-probably including
Ramsay Macdonald, the British prime
miniSter-to talk over an adjustment
Of the war debts owed to this country.
In hearing the plea of Great Britain
and other European debtors later, for
a war debt relief, Mr. Roosevelt in
tends to receive assurance Of co-opera-
ton for adjustment of world economic
conditions which he believes will lead
the way to a new prosperity.
These ideas of the President-elect are
very definitely held by his close friends,
who have established temporary Demo-
cratic headquarters at the Miami-Bilt-
more here.
Meanwhile, the only Official word
from Mr.. Roosevelt is that he is having
a good time fishing and swimming of

ACTION IS BLOCKED
ON GASOLINE LEVY
Proposed Increase Delayed
by Senator 0ddie's
Objection.

An objection by Senator Oddie. Re
publican, of Nevada, prevented action
by the Senate today on the bill to i'm
pose an additional 1-cent gasoline tax
on Washington, motorists after Senator
Bingham, Republican, Of Connecticut,
had declared he gould not see the neces-
sity for the inctease.
The Senate atNhe time was consider
ing routine bills under a rule requiring
unanimous consent, and after the debate
had gone on for few moments Senator
Oddie requested that 1t go over, which
ended the discussion. The bill remains
on the Senate calendar for future con-
sideration.
Asked to Explain.
When the bill was reached, Senator
Bingham, who has charge of District
appropriations in the Senate, asked
Chairman Capper of the District Com
mittee to explain the measure.
1T have been informed the present
tax is more than sufficient to provide
fer the upkeep of roads, and do not
understand why the additional tax is
necessary" Senator Bingham said.
Senator Capper said the purpose of
the bill Is to extend the use of the gaso-
line tax FUNDS to cover various other
municipal expenses, such as the Bridge
Department, the Department of Motor
Vehicles and Traffic and members of
the police force assigned to traffic duty
He also argued that Wa&hington's pres
ent gas tax Of 2 cents Is lower than
most States.
Points to Connecticut.
Senator Bingham pointed out that
Connecticut only has 2-cent gas tax
and uses 1t only for roads.
Senator Kean, Republican, of New
Jersey, criticized the fact that auto
mobile licenses in the District are not
based on weight. At this point Senator
Oddie brought the discussion to close
by objecting to the bill. The Senator
announced some time ago he was op-
posed to levying this new tax on WASH
ington motorists.

TO REMAIN AL0OF
Normal Morals Urged as De.
preston Cure in Ser
mon at Cathedral.

The thing most needed to bring this
country and the rest Of the world out
of the depression is return to the
normal standard Of morals, Bishop
James E. Freeman told a vesper con-
gregation yesterday in an Independence
day sermon in the Great Choir at Ma
tional Cathedral.
Praising the leadership and courage
Of President Roosevelt. Bishop Free
man compared the Chief Executives
calmness with that of the Apostle Paul
who saved the lives and ship of his
captors by his leadership and GOODNESS.
Told to Stay With Ship.
Quoting st. Paul in the twenty-sev-
enth chapter Of the Acts of the Apos-
ties. in which the disciple said: "Ex-
cept these abide by the ship. We cannot
be saved" Bishop Freeman declared
that Americans, too, should stay with
their ship of state to emerge from the
present national crisis led by the cour-
age, firm and unchanging conviction
and calm.
For four years a great Nation along
with the rest OF the world has been in
creasingly embarrassed" the bishop
said. Let us all resolve this eve Of
another anniversary of our countrys
natal day to examine and improve our
own individual characters as our per-
sonal contribution to the general raising
of moral standards. that fundamentally
necessary step toward economic re-
covery.'
Entanglements Opposed.
Bishop Freeman quoted from recent
magazine article written by Alfred z.
Smith, former Governor of New York,
in which the latter said that only
through raising the general character
and morals of the people throughout
the world that economic problems may
be solved. That. he said, is job for
the priests and physicians and not the
statesmen.
We agree with the majority of
statesmen representing us at the great
Economic Conference at London that
we must enter into no entangling al
liances." Bishop Freeman said. The
way out Of the situation lies in setting
our own house in order first"
