News Service learned today.
Formation of a cabinet com

Roosevelt Prepares
To Leave for Cruise

WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Feb. 3
Q.N.S).-Thirteen days of in
tensive Cabinet building neared
an end today as President-elect
Roosevelt prepared to desert
Warm Springs for one final vaca-
ton jaunt before Inauguration.
Tonight the next Chief Execu-
tive will entrain for Jacksonville,
Fla, where tomorrow he boards
Vincent Astor's yacht for a 10
day cruise in Southern waters.
It appeared today that the
Strategists of the Democratic high
command we're about ready to
put a former Republican into the
Cabinet as Secretary of Agricul-
ture-Henry Wallace, of Iowa,
farm paper editor and son Of
the man who died in that same
position under the late President
Warren G. Harding.
The younger Wallace has
turned against the G. o. P. since
his fathers death.
AS nearly as could be aScer-
tanned, a recapitulation Of Mr.
Roosevelt's efforts here to pick
his official family, in addition to
Wallace's reported selection, would
indicate that Senator Cordell
Hull of Tennessee was likely to
be his Secretary of State; Sen.
ator Carter Glass of Virginia,
Secretary Of Treasury; Senator
Thomas j. Walsh of Montana,
Attorney General; Senator Bron-
son Cutting, insurgent Republi-
can Of New Mexico, Secretary of
Interior, and Miss Frances Per-
kinS, labor commissioner of New
York State, the new Secretary of
Labor and first woman ever to
hold a Cabinet post.
If these selections are accurate
there still remain to be filled the
portfolios for war, navy and COM
merce.
Mr.. Roosevelt expects to de-
vote part of his time aboard the
Nourmahal to consideration of
these gaps in his cabinet person
mel. Also, he is taking with him

detailing all Federal posts it will
be essential to fill Immediately

Corporation and Home Loan Bank
Board are to function.

their appropriations in the COM
ing year. Great discretionary
power was left to the cabinet
officers to achieve this economy
but they were expressly for
hidden to reduce salaries or fur
Tough employees. 1t is this amend
ment that Bingham fears will re-
suit in dismissals.
The Senate took the position
that it was the duty Of Congress
to fix salaries. A different pro-
vision of the pending bill pro
posed a 10 per cent salary slash
while another provision would
allow department heads to fur
Tough employees in order to keep
within the total appropriations
carried in the bills.
The economy m e a sure was
adopted by vote of 81 to "a, but
salaries were exempted first by a
vote of AZ t. 20.
The Buy American" campaign
aroused consider able debate.
johnson urged it's adoption as an
economic necessity, since recent
inquiries disclosed that Govern
ment funds raised by taxation
were being spent for foreign
products.
Senator Robinson, Democratic
floor leader, opposed the plan. He
said the tariff gave sufficient pro-
lection against imports and
charged the johnson proposal was
but the first step in erecting a
complete embargo on foreign
goods.
The BUY American" campaign,
however, had the endorsement Of
a great majority of Senators. Be-
cause it constituted legislation,
johnson was forced to move to
suspend the Senate rules. He won
by vote of 81 to 20. It's adop-
ton after that was assured.
Limit Put on Debate
Although debate was limited by
unanimous consent, consideration
of the bill was expected to be pro-
longed by controversies over other
Sections.
A fight loomed over the pro
vision increasing the pay cuts Of
Federal employees from 8 1-3 tO 10
per cent.
AS the Senate approached the
hour for consideration of economy
recommendations made by the
Senate Economy Committee, Dem
ocratS sought support for the
Byrnes amendment which would
give the President almost unllm-
tied reorganization power.
Another row was pending over
a move by Senator McKellar CD
Of Tennessee to cut ocean mail
appropriations in half. The Sch
ate already has eliminated a $19.'
600, 900 fund for air mails.
A group of Senate Republicans
agreed at a conference yesterday
to support economies proposed by
Democrats. BY this method the
Republicans hope to secure a
strategic party advantage, it is
said. For it is expected accord
ing to reports, that in the drive
for retrenchment, economies may
be enacted which will later prove
to be unwise and the Republicans
hope to lay the burden for their
enactment at Democratic doors.

squabble. 1t may result in gen.

For every man working on the
stands there are a dozen stand

to work-which makes it difficult
for the union to call a strike. 1t
is an open secret that union mem
bers are defying officials.
Stands Exempt by Law
Another hurdle in front of labor
officials is the fact that private
money, and not Government
funds, is being used to construct
the inaugural stands. For this
reason the $8-a,day wage scale
does not, in this case, infringe
on the Bacon-Davis labor law.

wage or $11 a day for carpenters
on Government work.
j. w. Bowling, one of the con-
tractors, said:
'The wages paid Government
labor are established by the
wages paid private labor, and
not vice versa, as the union
contends"
The three-cornered fight, hav.
ing all the earmarks of battle
royal, has become so tense that
anything may happen today.
Unemployed Wait Work
Unemployed carpenters and lab
orerS waited around two piles of
lumber near Fourteenth Street
and Pennsylvania Avenue North

would be hired for erection of
inaugural stands there.
At inaugural headquarters it
was stated, however, that con-
tract for the stands has not been
awarded. The firm Of Bahen

ber, has submitted the low bid.

bility for health falls on the shoulders
of parents.
The vacation period of the average
city child is usually spent with adult
relatives at summer resorts, at
organized camps, or in the year-round
city environment. 1t is the unfortu-
nate children who spend the last type
of vacation who require the closest
supervision.
They should be particularly warned
against over-exertion and heat pros
tration, against eating foods handled
by street vendors, and against the
dangers of accident from automobiles.
The most tragic aspect of the child's
vacation period is the increased
number of avoidable accidents to
children due to the failure of parents
and children to carry on the safety
campaign waged throughout the
school year.
Although swimming is excellent
exercise for children, particularly
since it teaches them how to take care

should be taken to avoid the pollution

who go to summer camps should be

physician and a record should be sent

By HORAM HERTELL
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, June 29.-Expan-
sion of bank credit, one of the ma
jor offensives ,on the economic
front during the past half year in
the fight for better business, has
started under suspicious con-
ditions.

egg was adopted prices were fall

Now the price structure is rising,
and banking experts feel that the
plan has a better chance of sue

where children may pick them up'
The Institute of Makers of Explosives
reports that 500 children are killed or
injured annually from playing with
blasting caps. Most of these acci-
dents occur during the summer
months.
A still greater number of children
are MANNED by the explosion Of
frecrackers. Lock-jaw and burns are
a serious danger. Don't let the
Fourth of July be reminder that
your child has lost his life, or an eye,
or some fingers from firecracker
explosion.
In short, plan the child's vacation
90 that it combines the greatest
freedom from the nervous tension OF
the formal classroom with the highest
regard for the rules of healthful living
and the greatest care to avoid acct
dents. Continue the child's regular
rest period. If possible, bring the
child close to the lessons of the great
outdoors. See to it that, with an
abundance of sunlight, air, rest and
directed recreation, the little citizen
goes back to school with sound

TEXANS COME in
FORLARGE SHARE
OF BIG 'SPOILS'
JACK CARRIERS STATE WELL
SERVED WHEN MEMBERS
MAKING UP DEMOCRATIC
GROUP TOOK CONTROL
BY HERBERT PLUMMER
llfy Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, June %
When the democrats captured
control of the house in the last
| congress the state of Texas came
in for large share of the "spoils.
Jack Garner became speaker. A
round half-dozen of choice COM
mittee assignments, including in
terstate and foreign commerce,
judiciary, rivers and harbors and
agriculture, went to that state.
Despite the clamor from the
north and west that the south was
getting more than its share in the
organization of the house, the
Texans held on to their priced
positions.
The special session, admittedly
one of the most gruelling in his
tory, has been brought to a close.
And in the house two Texans,
chairmen of two of the major
committees of that body stand
out prominently.
A Test Of Steering
Among the most important
pieces of legislation passed in the
special session were the railroad
bill and the securities act.
Both of these measures were
handled in the preliminary stages
by the interstate and foreign COM
merce committee. Sam Rayburn,
of Texas, IS chairman of that COM
mittee.
Rayburn has one of the best
legislative batting averages of any
of the democratic chairmen. He
| Unanswered both of these import
ant pieces of legislation through
the house without anything that
smacked of real opposition. His
railroad bin was the subject of no
fewer than DO amendments during
the course through the house. But
in its final form only two words
were added to the original text of
the bill.
The securities act was much the
same.
Another Texas Pilot
Marvin Jones, of Texas, chair
man of the agriculture committee,
put through the house the far
reaching farm credit bill in the
same manner.

merce committee is admittedly one
Of the most thorough organiza-
tions in the house, and not given

With Jones it was strategy.

NOTHING LIKE IT. !.
CLAIMS SABBATH OF
RECENT CONGRESS
ACTIVITIES OF HOUSE DUR
ING SPECIAL SESSION AS
FOUNDING TO OLD MEM
BERs OF LOWER BRANCH
By HERBERT PLUMMER
tIb1 Associated I'ressI

WASHINGTON. June 29.-The
titular leaders of the house
Speaker Rainey, Floor Leader
Byrns ct al-have issued no state
ments as to what they think of
the way their democratic brethren
acted during the special session
of congress just concluded.
Aside from a few unpleasant
moments, their leadership has had
pretty smooth sailing, notwith-
standing the fact that the lash
was applied with force at times.
To a man who has served IA
consecutive terms in the house
whose service dates back TO March
4, 1907, the manner in. which the
house conducted itself during the
three most crucial months per-
haps in the history of the coun-
try, appears astounding.
Adolph SABBATH of the fifth IL
linois district has had opportunity
to make comparisons.
An Inside View
SABBATH says that he has never
seen anything to compare with the
performance of the house during
the special session. To use his
own words:
"When it is considered that APP
proximately one-third of the house
is composed of new members,
many of them quite young men,
with set views and a determine
ton to force through legislation
that they have advocated, it is re-
markable how many of them sub
merged their honest convictions
and aspirations and joined hands
and manfully aided \ in enacting
speedily the important legislation
of this special session."
But while paeans of joy are be-
ing sung at the present and con-
gratulations are being handed
around freely, the very interesting
question of what's going to hap
pen in January when the regular
session of the seventy-third con-
gress is convened comes to the
fore.
The Driving Force
One must not lose sight of the
fact that the peace and harmony
which prevailed in the house dur
ing the special session rested on
an extraordinary foundation.
Chickens may be coming home
to roost in January.
Then, too, by the time January
rolls around Postmaster General
Farley will have passed lot OF
pie over his patronage counter
perhaps all that is of any worth.
The stage will be all set for a
battle of individualism in the
house.
