NEW CONGRESS
To Be "SHORT
AND SWEET"
Little Opposition TO Recovery
Plan Expected; President
Gets G. o. P. Aid
By GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service


President Roosevelt plunged into
a busy week OF preparation today
for the return of Congress. 1t
re-assembles next Wednesday for
session of undetermined length.
If the White House and the
Democratic leadership have their
way, it will be short session,
devoted principally to approval Of
the budget, voting additional bill
lions of dollars to the furtherance
of the recovery program, and re-
vision of the tax laws in the light
Of changed conditions since last
June.
Neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor the
Democratic leaders believe any
broad legislative program is neces-
Sary or desirable at this time.
Rather, they believe what the
country needs is to proceed along
the pathway already marked out
by existing legislation.
messages OEdAtCU
The President will submit two
messages next week, the first
dealing with the general stae Of
the nation, and the second with
financial recommendations. Both
are in state of preparation.
The regular budget will call for
approximately $4,000, 100000. Ad-
ditional financing Of the recovery
program will call for some $780,
600, 900 more for the RFC, the
PWA, the CWA, and for continu-
alton of outright Federal relief.
1t will be a six billion dollar Con-
greSs.
The outlook is for a turbulent
session, although the overwhelm-
ing Democratic majorities in both
houses assure complete Admins
tration control. The President
will be subjected to more criti-
cism in the new session than he
encountered in the last. But it
will be more vocal than threaten
ing to his program.
No G. 0. p. Program
It is doubtful if there will be
any cut-and-dried Republican
program, if for no other reason
than that the minority find them
selves badly split.
Almost half the Republican
membership of the Senate, for
example, are inclined to go along
with the Administration in sup
port of the recovery measures.
Republicans of the Borah, john
son, Norris, and Cutting brand
openly support the President.
Senator David A. Reed Of Penn
sylvania predicted a battle over
the Administrations monetary
policies and called upon the Re
publicans to present a vocal and
constructive opposition.
Reed criticised the President on
four counts: CD his acceptance
of the Thomas amendment, which
would permit currency initiation,
(2) the abandonment of the gold
standard, 90 the gold-buying ex-
pertinent, and a. the silver policy.
farm ViSiOned
In the Pennsylvanian's opinion
these monetary policies have re-
tarded rather than advanced ma
tional recovery.
Reed probably will occupy the
role of opposition leader in the
Senate, although McNary will be
the titular leader.

Only two workers and an army of

nouncement."
The Swope plan, the first Of
fetal admission of imminent fascisa-
ton in America, Is the elimination
of the last two weeks strike breaking
activities of the entire NR.A. APP
paratus. It would subordinate the
government apparatus to stronger,
centralized employers group, it would
rule industry as a car and would
absolutely outlaw strikers.
johnson pointed out that "of
course" strikes and lockout would be
forbidden under the plan. He added
that "for peace and equity" labor
would be allowed to organize parallel
with the employers. Asked whether
business would allow equal strength
to labor, he said yes.
Does that include the q. S. Steel
Corporations" he was asked. Il am
not saying that" he answered.
johnson today admitted officially
for the first time that N.R.A., the act
as conceived and executed, was en-
gineered by big business.

son said. Somebody suggested that

johnson said that under the Swope
plan,, the group governing administTa-
ton c. "a. codes would allow gov
eminent representatives to sit in.
But, he stated fatty, these represent
tatives would be without authority
to vote, but would hold a veto power"
johnson explained that the Swopa
plan for the elimination Of certain
big business interests to govern them
selves without interference, as they
did during the war. Referring to war
time planning, he said that this ar
rangelnent, which netted q balance
in war profits to the industrialists,
was good, but that later on the ma
chine of cooperating big business
over produced. and found that some
participation" by the government
would be a good thing. He explained
however. that the Federal Trade
Commission had not proved a salts
factory method of this government
participation because this commission
became a policeman and inquisitor''
and business did not cooperate with
It.
Moreover, johnson said the war;
time set-up, lacked planning from
the top"
Greater prominence and control Is
giving to the leading scab trusts, and
especially their trade associations,
such as the Textile Institute, the
American Iron and Steel Institute,
the National Association Of Manu-
facturers and the National Metal
Trade Association.
In this way the huge corporations
and their banker owners, are drawn
into closer control Of the govern
ment and especially in the NR.A.

washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Two hun
dred eighty-nine deaths and 20,379
injuries, many serious-this is the
staggering toll of death and disaster
for the Civilian Conservation Corps
first six months in the forests.
The figures on casualties among
the approximately 100000 youths,
most of whom were taken from I'M
employment relief rolls to be marched
into the woods to face the innumer-
able hazards of dynamite blasting,
fire-fighting and tenderfooting in
the wilds, were obtained by the
Daily Worker today from an official
at the CC.C. headquarters here.
Eighty-nine of the young victims
died from ses-tuberculosis, ty-
phoid fever, diptheria, gastric ulcer,
etc. The others we're killed "acci-
dentally "-electrocuted by lightning,
plunged off cliffs, crushed in auto
and truck collisions, etc. The in
jured were cut by axes in ineXperi-
enced comrades hands, or had their
bones crushed by falling logs, or
were burned by forest fire, etc.
Dropped safety" Campaign
Despite rapidly increasing acct
dents, Col. Robert Fechner, director
of the C.C.C., scrapped a safety-first
campaign six weeks ago, and, after
dawdling for weeks, finally sent out
a letter which recognized the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation thus: 1.-THE
mounting illnesses, injuries and
deaths from various causes indicate
a distinct need for greater vigilance.
The number of casualties can
and should be materially lowered"
The frequency of deaths in the
C.C.C. was about six times as high
as the rate computed by the De-
partment Of Labor last April as the
average in all industrial accidents.
The number of accidents was about
five times the average in all in
dustries.
Fechner himself summoned rep
resentatives of the National Safety
First Council, weeks ago, to talk over
the accident problem. But it was
explained today that the complete
plans outlined by that organization
seemed too elaborate to Fechner. He
decided they could get along with
out a letter.
A prominent research engineer
studied the statistics and exclaimed:
My estimate is that deaths and
serious accidents could have been
halved by thoroughgoing accident
campaign!
"At least one hundred more lives
will be wasted in the next six months
if Fechners doesn't do more than
write letters"
