Spikes Reports Differences
on Budget Will Cause
His Resignation.
Nv the Associated Press.

8y the Associated Press.
Lewis Douglas, director of the budget,
made clear today he intends to remain
in his present Office, despite rumors that
budgetary differences with President
Roosevelt and recent curtailment of
his authorities might cause him to re-
sign.
The budget director told newsmen he
plans to remain on the job as long as
! can render service"
The President yesterday trimmed
powers only recently handed to Doug
las for checking on emergency expendi-
lures He modified a previous order,
making budget estimates a prerequisite
for emergency spending to require in
the future only weekly reports to the
budget director.
Fresh Reports Heard.
Both Secretary Ickes and Harry Hop
kins, the civil works administrator, were
said to have objected at the White
House that the original ruling might
slow down public works and c. w. A.
disbursements.
Shortly before Douglas spoke, some
Of his friends on Capitol Hill, where he
formerly served as a Representative
from Arizona, had heard fresh reports
that he might leave the Government.
1t was understood by them later,
however, that Douglas thought this
course might be injurious to the ad-
miniStration at this time and preferred
to stay on the job tosprevent any criti-
ciSm of the President and his policies
Douglas was said by his friends to
be extremely loyal to Mr. Roosevelt al
though he differed with him as to some
emergency expenditures.
Douglas has advocated a balanced
budget and in a speech in Boston sew
eral weeks ago he vigorously opposed
some outlays he claSsed as extraordi-
nary expenditures.
While Representative from Arizona
he was one of the House leaders for

LEGION PRESENTS
AIMS TO CONGRESS
Reed Offers Senate "Most
Moderate" Program
Since War.
BY the Associated Press.

6y tilc AoouSiubCu EhcSss
Both the American Legion and the
Disabled American Veterans now have
their legislative programs ofdcially be-
fore the Government.
The four-point program Of the Legion
for restoring veterans benefits was laid
before the Senate yesterday by Senator
Reed, Republican, Of Pennsylvania. and
the D. A. v. program was presented
personally to President Roosevelt at the
White House by Joe w. Mcqueen, ma
tional commander.
Senator Reed told the Senate that
"at no time since the Legion was Or
ganized has 1t shown such moderation
benefits and a lowered purchasing
power of the money received.
The introduction of the Legion pro-
posals by Reed who is up for re-elec-
ton this year was a surprise to some
members, who recalled he fought
bonus proposals and voted consistently
against most compensation legislation.
Mcqueen sought notifications of the
economy acts application to service
connected cases, but emphasized that
neither cash payment Of the bonus nor
pensions to the non-service connected
group were being sought at this time:
The Legion program IN Reeds bill Is
as follows:
/. Restoration of the definitation OF
service connection as it stood before
the economy act.
2. Restoration of the old rates for
service-connected disability cases, in
cluding 500 a month for total per-
manent disability.
3. Freer use of veterans hospitals, but
only for men who lack funds for other
disqualification facilities.
4. The same pension>rate-$15 a
month-for widows and orphans OF
World War veterans that veterans OF
the Spanish War get under the economy
act.
The Legion has intimated the pro-
gram would cost around $50. 100000

proposals, nothing for the third and an
average Of $19,250.000 for the fourth
during the first five years.
The Legion's plan was introduced In
the House last week by Chairman
Rankin Of the Veterans Committee.
Rankin said he hoped to get the pro-
gram through and hoped also for ad.
ministration support" He said. how
ever, that he had no direct word on the
White House attitude.
other House leaders said they UNDER
stood the President had reserved no
place on his schedule for the our-point
program and that any modification OF
the economy act as regards veterans
would be minor in character.

Our Government
Citizens Should Study Changes


The announcement by Senator Thomas P. Gore, Of
Oklahoma that he will begin hearings on the proposed
reorganization of the District shortly after
the election next month makes incumbent upon Wash
ington citizens that they study the various suggestions
for changes which are being made.
Scores of changes have already been suggested by in
terested officials and by civic groups.
THERE HAS BEEN, HOWEVER, NO 0PPORTU-
NIFTY OF AsCERTA1N1NG THE WISHES OF THE
CITIZENS AS A WHOLE IN REGARD TO ANY OF
THE PROPOSALS.
The result will be, unless something is done about it,
that groups and individuals will go before the Gore
ittee with piecemea plans for alterations in the gov
eminent Many of these pieces will not fit into any gen.
eral scheme which may be advanced
It would be to the advantage of the entire city if some
such representative organization the Federation of
Citizens Associations would hold mass meeting or a
mass hearing which those who have suggestions might
talk the general proposition with view to clarity
ing the situation.
IT MIGHT EVEN BE POSSIBLE FOR THE DIS
TRICT COMMISSIONERS, WHO HAVE SHOWN AN
EARNEST DESIRE TO ASCERTAIN THE WISHES
OF OUR CITIZENS ON TOPICS OF GENERAL IN
TEREST, TO HOLD HEARING PRELIMINARY TO
