NEW YORK. November 20.-Over

bullion having value of 100000 and
upward, which was not acquired up-
der a license, and which he had re-
tained notwithstanding the Presidents
order.
Campbell contended in the Federal

far as it attempted to affect gold bull
lion in privtae ownership, and that
the executive order was invalid and
in excess of the power delegated the
President under the act. The Trial

Wage Dispute.

Bids for tree surgery in Dupont
Circle will be opened February 20
in the Office of National Capital
Parks, it was announced today, now
that the wage dispute involving tree
surgeons has been settled.
Opening of the bids had been post
poned pending negotiations before the
Board of Labor Review, which even
tually set the scale at 80 cents per
hour This Was the same wage the
tree surgeons had been receiving all
along, it was said, although some had
argued they should receive Sl.l0 per
hour.
None of the tree surgeons employed
by the National Capital Parks was
involved in the wage dispute but
since the work at Dupont Circle was
to be done under private contract, it
was decided to await the ruling of
the Labor Board to avoid any COM
plications.

Senator La Toilette, Republican. of
Wisconsin, had been defeated, So to
IA, in an effort to boost the total to
$1,000, 100000.
Passage was preceded by seven and
half hours of spirited debate Mem
bers We're held several hours after
dinner time so the Senate would be
left free today for the special con-
tempt trial of former Assistant Com
merce Secretary William P. Mac
Cracken and three aviation company
officials.
Before the bill went through the
Senate, Senator McCarran, Democrat,
OF Nevada, won by a vote of AZ to 10
on an amendment requiring all State
relief and civil works directors to be
appointed by the President and con-
flrmed by the Senate. He also OBJ
tained from Senator McKellar, Demo-
crat, OF Tennessee, in charge of the
bill, a promise that Senate conferees
would come back to the floor for an
other vote before giving in to the
House on the proposal.
Reason for Amendment.
McCarran said he offered the
amendment in view of the wide pub
hcity given charges of scandal and
fraud in connection with admins
tratlon of the two relief projects. He
thought the Senate should scrutinize
those who are selected to spend the
huge sums.
La Toilette opposed the amendment
on the ground some of the relief
grants to States have to be matched
by State funds and he did not believe
presidential appointees should be per-
mitted to dispense State moneys.
McKellar said Relief Administrator
Hopkins had told the Appropriations
Committee the administration in
tended TO reduce gradually the civil
works force and hoped to send the
entire 100000 workers back to the
farms and industry by early Summer.
Senators Cutting, La Toilette and
Wagner, Democrat, of New York,
challenged Hopkins estimates.
Cutting said the civil works project
should not be dropped May /, as testi-
he'd by Hopkins. He claimed this
was the only emergency step taken by
the administration thus far which
had succeeded. although he did not
blame any one for failure of the
others
La Toilette said that unless the
Cutting amendment boosting the civil
works fund to $4,000, 100000 was ap-
proved I'VE will be confronted by a
most serious recession in business and
economic recovery"
He said the program had "prac-
tically arrested retail bankruptcy" in
some centers and had been the "chief
prop in supporting the level of busi-
ness activity during the Winter
MONTHS

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Is it easier for the Democratic ad-
ministration to find new chairman
of the Democratic National Commit
tee or easier to find a new Postmaster
General?
That is a question which has been
agitating some of the democratic
leaders in Washington ever since the
blow-of about the politico-lawyer
members of the Democratic National
Committee who came to Washington
to make money practicing before the
Government departments.
Postmaster General James A. Far

In the outcry against the politico-

official of the Government should be
member of the Democratic National
Committee, and this demand was ex-
tended to cover members of the Sem

as we'll as the executive.
Five Members in Senate.
There is more and more resentment
