points out that this represents no

long specialized in high-grade
merchandise, and announced this
policy as long ago as June Of
last year. Mr.. Wise says:
"T don't like to make

chants would place more stress
on the distribution Of American
manufactured products the trials
and tribuIati0ns Of the last few

Henderson said he had gone to

but said they acquired them
through an automobile deal with
Henderson. They also denied
using the gun. Judge Schuldt

PARTY D|SCORD
DISTURBING To,
. ROOSEVELT
His Conference Here Thurs
day to Be Fraught With
Policy Problems
By GEORGE r. HOLMES


President-elect Roosevelt is go
ing to walk into lot Of Demo
cratic grief when he comes to
washington Thursday for series
of conferences with party leaders.
He will find his followers on
Capitol Hill split into warning fac
tions, each Of which claims to be
representing his views. He will
find a condition of almost un-
precedented legislative chaos in
Congress, due largely to Demo
cratic quarreling.
The most outstanding example,
Of course, is the split over the
Glass banking bill, which has re-
suited in Senator Huey (King-
fish Long tying the Senate into
knots for a week and preventing
the transaction Of any business.
Opposing Claims
Senator Glass, author Of the
measure, has claimed that his bill
has the support of Governor
Roosevelt. Long challenged Glass
statement and proclaimed his own
contrary views as representing
the President-elect'S policy.
Efforts to persuade the ubiqui-
tous KingfiSh to abandon his spec
tacular filibuster have failed
utterly. On Saturday Huey re-
ceived a telephone call from q
man in New York who said, he
spoke for Governor Roosevelt
and that the President-elect
wished him to compose his diff
ferenceS with Senator Glass, thus
ending the impasse. Huey said
today:
II told him that IL the Presi-
dent-elect wanted to talk to me,
he knew where he could get
me. Then I hung up on him."
The chagrined conservatives on
the Democratic side are going to
demand that Roosevelt do some
thing to curb Huey and his CO.
horts and permit the machinery
Of Congress to function again.
How successful their efforts will
be in this direction remains to be
seen.
Showdown Looms
Up to now, Governor Roosevelt
has Steered a careful course be-
tween right and left wings of his
party. And he has not, shown
any disposition to attempt TO steer
legislation at this session. al
though he has insisted that the
lame-duck session should balance
the budget, enact a farm relief
measure, and legalize beer.
In the conferences beginning
day after tomorrow, the helpless
leaders are going to insist that
he assert his leadership to the
point of calling off Long and
his filibustering cohorts. They
believe, or profess to believe, that
Huey would not have persisted in
his paralyzing tactics in the face
Of a positive admonition by the
incoming President.
The weeks filibuster, Of course,
has ended whatever faint hope
there had been Of avoiding a
special session Of the new
Seventy-third Congress. In the
six short working weeks Of life
left to this session, It is utterly
impossible for Congress to enact
a fraction Of / per cent Of what
it must accomplish if an extra eS-
sion is to be avoided,
