AS HEAD OF PARTY
couzens Declares Substitutions

Criticised by G. o. p.

Washington, Dec. 4.-tF-Senator
Borah. who demanded . reorganiza-
ton Of the Republican party. received
q challenge Tuesday from Senator
Cou1ens, Rep.. Mich.), to take the
Craftsmanship and suggest new plat
form.
He said Borah. like Senator Reed
Of Pennsylvania. campaigned against
aspects Of the New Deal but neither
one was successful because they Of
fered no substitutes for the programs
they criticized"
The Michigan senator's entry into
the party controversy came shortly
after Henry p. Fletcher, chairman OF
the Republican national committee
had ilatly declined to resign at Bor-
abs request.
To step out at this time, Fletcher
said, would plunge the party organ
lzation into confusion" He pointed
out the machinery by which. he said
the party could obtain new leadership

Rep. Fish (Rep. N. ", also took
issue with Borah. saying that while
the party would "liberalize and hu-
mamie It's policies" Fletcher should
not be called upon to resign "provid.
ed he is willing to 60 along in favor
Of liberal policies"
Couzens' statement, coming from
one who has frequently voted with the
partys Western Independent wing
where demands for reorganization
now are arising. caused some sur
prise.
II suggest" he said, that those
who are supporting Mr.. Borah's pro-
posal that Mr.. Fletcher resign offer
Mr.. Borah the Craftsmanship of the
Republican national committee.
II am just as anxious as Mr.. Roose-
welt Is to have the country recover
but do not intend to assume a de-
| structive attitude whether I be a Bor-
ah Republican Of q Fletcher Repub-
lican or neither Of these things.
Certain prominent Republican
senator's have been carrying on de-
vastating campaigns, or at least they
have been trying to make them de-
vastating. against certain agencies Of
the New Deal. Borah did 1t in Idaho
and Senator Reed in Pennsylvania
and I can't see much difference be-
tween the two"

Ulrey Z. Biller Answers Charges
Made BY Z. Claude Babcock
on Arrears.

The Federal retirement fund Is mo
more insolvent" than that out Of
which salaries are paid. q. statement
today from the National Federation Of
Federal Employees said. sss.
The statement. which supports the
stand of officers of the Civil Service
Commission. was prepared by Ulrey
L. Biller, federation vice president
and actuarial expert, and followed
charges by E. Claude Bapcock, ma
tional president Of the American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees, that
the Government has an accrued liza
bility to the fund of hundreds Of mil
lions Of dollars.
Biller figured that this liability"
probably was not more than $780,
000, 900, and there is nothing alarm
ing" in the situation, he added.
He explained that while the law was
passed in 1920. the Government made
no appropriation for 1t until the fiscal
year 1929, in the meantime borrow
ing the money the employees had to
their credit to pay annuities. (
Biller said the confusion" prob
ably rests In the mistake" of con-
sidering the retirement roll and the
pay roll as two separate rolls, while as
q matter Of fact, they are one and
the same.
