FOR BORDER
ROAD DELAYED

SACRAMENTO, Jan. S. U.H
Lack of available money at
present will prevent the state
highway department from i'm
proving the Midway-Wells-See
ley road, in Imperial Valley, but
the state will "dO what II can"
when funds are available, the
highway commission promised
today.
The road, constructed by I'm
perial county and popular sub
scriptiOn of ranchers, is in good
condition now, but it follows
the course Of the proposed Am
erican canal, and could not
stand the heavy traffic which
would accompany canal con-
struction. Valley interests want
the state to appropriate money
for q concrete surface.
A. j. Mercier of Calexico and
Leo Watts, president of the Inn
perial Valley Chamber of Com
merce, appeared before the conf
mission today 20 plead for aid.

BEVERLY HILLS, Jan. 4.
(SpeciaD-Mr. Roosevelt pro-
posed in his speech that the
NRA and a lot of these other
government regulated business
ethics would be made perman-
ent. Well, that was a terrible
blow to some business men.
They had figured they would
only be required to be honest
by the government till the en-
ergency was over.
The papers today tell OF
little country in the Pyrenees

that SO bills were used for payment

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. (UP)
This week probably will reveal
how far the administration can
count on congressional support III
the face of an unexpectedly
strong tendency Of Democrats in
both houses to bolt the party
leadership.
SO far the administration has
won every point but it has had a
lot more trouble than anyone cX-

Measures on which there is strong
sectional and group feeling among
voters, with little regard for party
lines, will be in the foreground
this week in both houses and the
administration leaders on capitol
hill. while expressing confidence
are worried.
MONETARY PROBLEM
The monetary problem in all the
ramifications will reach the capitol
for the first time as an aftermath
of a White House conference last
night among President Roosevelt
and members of the senate and
house banking and currency corr
mittees. The house coinage COM
mittee meets today, with OppO-
nents Of the administration pro-
gram among its scheduled wit
nesses. Senator Thomas plans
meeting of senator's and congress-
men chiefly interested in the
money problem. and hopes to get
an agreement on a united front
program.
The senate probably will reach
q vote on ratification of the st.
Lawrence waterway treaty. with
Democratic leaders privately skep-
tical Of winning the necessary
two-thirds majority.

good political account last night
with call for Republican sup

Republicans are in a position to
contend that they have supported
