Sweeping reorganization of con-

Gratis and make the Republicans
harmless" was being drawn by
Democratic leaders today.
With huge majorities in both
Senate and House, the reorgan-
ization is expected vastly to in
crease the Democratic majority
on all important committees.
The program would effectively
prevent an alliance between mi
nority Republicans and the in.
surgents to block Administration
measures. 1t would give Presi
dent Roosevelt an unbelievable
hold on Congress.
ByrnS FavOrS Plan
Representative Joseph Byrns Of
Tennessee, next Speaker of the
House, favors revision of all
House committees and increase of
Democratic membership. Senate
Democrats are urging a similar
program upon Senator Joseph
Robinson of Arkansas, majority
leader.
The House plan calls for a ratio
OF four Democrats to one Repub-
llcan on committees. The Senate
ratio may be three to one. Repre-
sentative ByrnS said:
"The Democrats have three
fOurths of the House membership.
Members are entitled to COM
mittee representation and the
committees should fairly repre-
sent the House. 1t seems to me
that it would be fair to increase
the Democratic membership and
personally favor that plan.

Republicans now hold more
than half the membership of House
committees and with the inSur-
gents they could upset AdminiStra-
ton measures. On the important

cause the domestic industry could

PROPOSAL

Congress Members, Mayors
i Join in Severe Criticim
E of Recommendations
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
Internal tiOnal News Service

BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
" International News Service
The imposing recovery program
drawn up by nearly 100 leaders Of
big business at White Sulphur
Springs this week seemed destined
today to wind up in various de-
partmentaI pigeonholeS around
Washington.
Administration officials received
the proposals advanced by the
manufacturers and business mo-
guls with marked apathy, or out
right criticism-particularly that
one which advocated giving plain
"doles' to the unemployed instead
Of work relief.
The program was brought to
the White House by C. B. AmeS,
chairman of the Texas Company,
and chairman Of the White Sui
phur meeting. President Roose-
velt was too busy to see him, so
Mr.. Ames left it on a secretary's
desk and found that he had just
time to catch a train for New
York.
Hopkins Hits Dole
Then the criticism started.
Harry L. Hopkins, director Of
Federal relief, SarcaStically OBJ
served, with reference to the bust
oNnfnrnnnnic nnlNrcor1onrf 0f
the dole, that he could imagine
nothing worse for America"
Another recommendation that
the NRA be revised SO as to pro
vide voluntary code adherence,
and then fade gradually out of
the picture met outright rebuff
by administrative action. About
the time the program was being
presented at the White House, the
NRA served notice on the tele-
graph companies, long uncoded,
are about to have a code of fair
competition forced upon them.
Other codes for non-coded indus
tries are in the making.
No Change in SEC
The recommendation for modi-
fication of securities act will be
ignored.
Joseph P. Kennedy. chairman
OF the SEC, said it was yet too
early to start tinkering with the
act.
Similarly, the recommendation
for drastic curtailment of public
works expenditures did not ap-
peal to Administration leaders.
Secretary IckeS said:
1T doesn't appeal to me-"
A new and vast public works
program is in the making, and
will be presented to the new
Congress.
Mayors Criticize Plan
Various members of Congress,
as we'll as mayors affiliated with
the United States Conference of
Mayors, had their fling at the
business leaders program.
After comforting with Mr.. Hop
kins, committee of the mayors
observed:
what the unemployed want
Is work. Human resources are
too valuable to let decay
under a system of pauperism
and idleneSS."
Widely Opposed
Senator George w. Norris, Ne
braska insurgent, said if the Ad.
ministration had started out on
the dole system, big business would
now be advocating the work re.
lief plan.
Senator L. J. Dickinson, Iowa
conservative. said the business
leaders proposal for extension of
the NRA was simply designed to
relieve industry of the antitrust
laws"
So the sniping went-from all
quarters.
The White House will refer the
recommendations of the White
Sulphur meeting to the various
departments and agencies inter
ested. And that, it was indicated,
will be that.

with Vests hand, I would prefer
the negative double.
Why bid two hearts simply be-
cause you hold 100 honorS when
your partner may be void in hearts
and have four spades? The worst
take-out that East can make is two
clubs and you still can bid two
hearts.
BY risking the two heart vulner-
able overcall, you may get doubled
and get set very badly on the hand.
Due to the fact that partner
opened with a no trump, North
makes a good bid of three clubs to
show his five card suit. South, not
having the hearts stopped, now
must show his suit. North's raise
to four spades is rather optimistic.
INVEST opens the king of hearts,
w which is won with declarer's
ace. A diamond is returned and the
fnesse taken, which holds. A heart
is ruffed and a diamond returned,
South winning with the ace and
rutfing another heart.
A small diamond is played back
and ruffed with the deuce of spades.
South plays his last heart and
ruffS with the eight of spades, which
prevents East from over-ruffing.
A small club is returned, South
winning with the ace and leading
the queen of clubs, which West
trumps with the four of spades.
Regardless of what West does, he
can make only one more trick 1t
looks as though his best play is to
lead the jack Of spades.
South will win with the queen and
lead the three of clubs, which still
permits him to lose only that trick,
thus making five-odd, doubled.
