Price Sees Right and Left
in 'New Deal Tug-of-War
By BYRON PRICE
(Chief CT Bureau, the Associated
Press, WashingtOn.)

Right or Left? At no previous
stage of the Roosevelt Admins
tration has that perennial question
received more earnest considera-
ton in Washington.
Should the government continue
its new effort to 'reassure bust
ness or should it disregard the
economic soundness of the new
DEAL" and forge ahead with the
original program of readjustment?
The question has become urgent
because of a special train of cir
cumstances. Sentiment on both
sides has been, heretofore, some
what fluid, now there are signs
of greater solidarity in both camps.
with a corresponding increase of
pressure for more definite ad-
ministration choice one way or the
other.
