BATTLE
DUE TODAY ON
ECONOMY
Gag Rule in Force, But Vets
Champions Promise Stiff
Fight on Slash

Operating under an iron.bound
gag" rule, the House today will
tackle the 1884 independent Of
fices supply bill and subject Presi,
dent Roosevelt's economy pro-
gram to a decisive test.
The bill is the first .-1ajor ap-
preparation bill to come before
Congress during the new Admins
tration, and not Only carries out
provisions of the economy act
passed earlier in the session, but
gives the President extraordinary
powers to retire Federal workers,
cancel contracts, furlough Army
officers, and make other savings.
Stiff Fight Due
A stiff fight is expected to be
made over the appropriation for
the Veterans Administration,
cut approximately $3.50, 000, 200
under the figure carried in the
supply bill passed at the last
session, a bill that met death
when former President Hoover
declined to sign it.
Under the gag" rule, debate
will be limited to five hours,
and no amendments, except
those sponsored by the House
Appropriations Committee, can
be made to the dissection legis-
lative rider.
Vet Fund Raise, Aim
Amendments to the appropria.
ton items, however, are not
banned, and insurgents, Demo.
Gratis, and Republicans, are ex-
pected to make a strong bid to
raise the veterans funds.
It is the rider that is packed
with dynamite, but opponents
find themselves unable to do any
thing about it. They are help
less to amend it, and under a
change of House rules adopted
last week must accept all IA Sec
tons as a whole or vote against
them Solidly.
The rider contains the 30-year
Selective retirement clause. per.
mits furloughing of Federal en-
ployeS up to 80 days without com.
plying with civil service require
ments and gives the President the
power to cancel transportation
contracts, including the $4,000
900 air mail subsidy, ship mail
subsidy, and other similar grants.
Bipartisan Attack
Refusal of the Appropriations
Committee to amend sections ban
ming salary increases in the Gov
eminent service, and providing
that in reducing personnel due
regard must be given to apportion-
ment of appointments, has aroused
many members of Congress-both
Democrats and Republican,
who, as a result, have declared
they will vote against the bill.
However, it is generally con-
coded that the bill and the rider
will pass, with a possibility that
the veterans appropriation will
be raised. Opponents of the
measure, though, are hopeful that
the Senate will be more generous

wood factory and the fair grounds
today following reports that they
were marked for destruction by
the incendiary responsible for the
100000 conflagration that de-
Stroyed the business district and
made 400 homeless.
Undaunted by the worst disaster
in the city's history, citizens today
took steps to raise a new city on
the ashes of the old, while in their
midst they sought the firebug
whose toch started a 100000
conflagration. leaving 400 persons
homeless and 200 dwellings and
business houses in ruins.
Rebuilding plans went forward
even as relief units cared for the
homeless and as militia from Au-
gusta and Bar Harbor, side by
side with 100 citizens as special
police, patrolled the area Of
smouldering ruins to prevent the
firebug from lighting new blazes
and to guard against looting.
Authorities predicted they would
arrest the incendiary within "a
hours.

blue SKY BILL
INCONVENIENCE

The Roosevelt blue-sky bill i'm
posing drastic Federal regulation
upon the issuance and sale of
new securities today neared the
end Of its journey through Con-
greSs.
After approving a major amend
ment to aid American holders of
foreign securities now in default,
the Senate passes the bill without
a dissenting vote. Then it ap-
pointed conferees to adjust differ
enceS with the House, which
passed a blue-sky bill.
The move to help American
citizens realize something on their
investments in foreign stocks and
bonds where default has taken
place was made by Senator John
son (R.) of California. The Sen
ator's amendment would authorize
corporation of IL members
named by the Federal Trade Com
mission, through which the de-
faulted debts might be adjusted.
The corporation would be empow-
cred to issue subpoenas COMPEL
ing American agents of the for
eign issuers to reveal any informa-
ton they might have.
The blue-sky bill sets up within
the Federal Trade Commission
machinery for the registration of
all new stocks and bonds, COM
mercial bank paper, and a few
other classes of securities excepted.

PARIS, May 9 G.N.S0.-A new
version of the reported lump-sum
foreign debt settlement plan was
published today by the newspaper
LIE Temps, usually regarded as
rejecting the views Of the French
Foreign Office.
Notwithstanding official denials
from Washington that any such
proposal had been made, lie

following:
/. Cancellation of the inter-

NORRIS LASHES
POWER TRUST

Congress is being deluged with
Power Trust propaganda to kill
the bill for Government operation
of Muscle Shoals, Senator Norris
R0. of Nebraska, charged in the
Senate yesterday.
The Government effort to make
a success Of the Muscle Shoals
project would be thwarted under
the bill as passed by the House,
Norris said.
Before the Government could
build transmission lines under the
House bill, efforts would have to
be made to buy or condemn pri-
vate lines and this might cause
prolonged court litigation, Norris
said. His bill, as passed by the
Senate, would remove red tape"
he said, adding:
"The Government could not
even build a line between its
two generation plants, one at
Muscle Shoals and the other at
Cove Creek, without going to
the Power Trust with manacled
hands and begging leave to do
it.
"The Power Trust would say,
We'll, all right, we will consult
our subsidiaries. We will con-
suit the Alabama Power Com.
pany. We will GO to Wall
Street and consult the Electric
Bond and Share Company. We
will consult Mr.. Insults COM
