CHANGES ARE
 PROPOSED IN
 MONEY BILL
Minority in House Attempt to Retard Progress of
 Devaluation Plans

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-- House Republicans have mapped out changes in the dollar devaluation bill which will probably throw askew the plans of the Democratic leaders to pass the measure on to the Senate by tomorrow night.
 The minority members are or ganizing all possible strength be- hind amendments to place control of the stabilization funds in the hands of the Federal Reserve Sys- tenn instead of the Treasury De- partment and also to limit the life of the stabilization fund.
 Amendments Coming
 The amendments will be intro duced tomorrow unless the Demo- cratic majority finds some way to block the move.
 Some delay is expected despite the urge of the Administration to get the big money bill enacted.
 Senate leaders today were pre- pairing to open for the first time hearings on the measure to de- value the dollar and nationalize all outstanding monetary gold.
 Professor Summoned
 Prof. Warren, of Cornell, one of the authors of the Presidents gold plan, has been summoned to open the testimony. Meanwhile. Adolph Miller, member of the Federal Re- serve Board, told the Senate Bank ing Committee, in private, the Board was strongly opposed to re- linquishing title to gold but ex- pressed a willingness that the Gov ernment take all profit arising from reducing the gold content of the dollar He however insisted that the remainder of the gold stay where it is, in the Federal Reserve banks.
 CHALLENGE FROM GLASS
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-United States Senator Carter Glass this afternoon challenged the constitu- tionality of the devaluation bill as the White House urged speed in the enactment of legislation be- cause of refinancing operations to be undertaken soon.
 Senator Glass said Attorney Gen. eral Cummings. in upholding the constitutiona1ity of the plan, omit ted Supreme Court decisions per- tinent to the question.

ACTIVITIES OF PARTY LEADERS
 ARE CRITICIZED
President Ready to Sane ton Legislation to Bar
 Partisan Practice NATIONAL COMMITTEE MEMBERS QUIT POSTS Executive Determined Pol itics Shall Not Enter
 Judicial Work

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Presi- dent Roosevelt is reported reliably to be ready to sanction far-reach- ing legislation barring law lobby activities in Washington by poli- ticians
 Ths legislation is taking form after the Presidents declaration against his own Party members coming here and setting up law of- fices.
 White House Position
 At the White House, however, the position is understood to be that any legislation should be com- prehensive enough to include all such practices, as Democratic lead CTS are pointing out that members of the Republican National Com mittee and others high in the Re- publican Papty4 councils have main tained or are maintaining law offices here to practice before the Government.
 Activities Disclosed
 The law lobby activities were brought up in the past few days and came to a head yesterday when it was learned that certain members of the Democratic Ma tional Committee had resigned and others were contemplating sending in their resignations on account of the President disa ppr owing Of Committee members practicing law in Washington.
 Two members Of the National Democratic Committee have all ready resigned. They are Robert Jackson, Secretary and Committee man from New Hampshire, and Frank Walker, of New York, Treas urer.

GEN. JOHNSON SCORES BORAH,
 ME IN SPEECH
Recovery A Adminis trator Says Senators Don Know
 Wh at They Want DENIES MIRA OPPRESSES ANY SMALL INDUSTRIES
Coins Bitter Phrases to De scribe Congressional
 Policy Critics

NEW YORK, Jan. 19-General Hugh s. Johnson, National Recov- cry Administrator, last night turn ed on the congressional critics of the MIRA in blasting denuncia- tion, saying "the fact is they do not know what they want Men in that condition ought not to speak at all"
 Speaking before the National Re- tail Dry Goods Association and over nationwide radio hookup, the recovery administrator struck at Senators Borah and Nye, who had lambasted MIRA codes and called them promoters of oppres- sion to small Industries and con- sumers. Names were not mentioned by Johnson but their identity was clearly shown as he told of the two who had been invited to sit with the Administration and cor. rect inequities.
 Conjecture Evil
 He accused them of preferring to "sit aside and conjecture evil If the MIRA expresses anybody it does not do so by monopolistic tenden- cies. Another reason I can tell you "a single reason-and then prove it. The smoking hilt expresses peo- pie who are not willing to accord decent wages and proper hours for human labor"
 Berates Attackers
 Johnson formed bitter phrases as he spoke of political tom-tom beaters and gentlemen keening around the moorlands wailing that the MIRA expresses small enter prises. 1T thank God that the strength of my official position here is that I'm without political ambition. I am free to close the window, whistle to the dog and fin ally walk out the private door of my office any day this kind of despicable thing becomes too much for my self-respect to bear" he said.
 Johnson admitted blunders, also the possibility that ''in the hurly- burly somebody tried to put some thing over" but challenged any body to find collusive or fraudu- lent errors in the policy.

 FOR TREASURER
w. C. Smith, Encumbent, Opposed for Renomina-
 ton by pr. Chase

Ushering in the current political season is a contest for the Repub- lican nomination for Territorial Treasurer with two of the best- known Republicans in the Territory battling for that plum. Walstein G. Smith, the only Treasurer that Alaska has ever had since the of- flee was created. and Dr. W. H. Chase, prominent Third Division party leader, yesterday filed their declarations of candidacy in the Office of Territorial Auditor.
 The race is expected to be close and hard fought. No Democratic filing for the nomination. the only Territorial berth aside from Dele gate to Congress that is at stake this year, has yet been made.
 Appointed Many Times
 Mir Smith has held his office both by appointment and election. He was first appointed by Gov. J. F. A. Strong, Democrat, and re- appointed by Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr, another Democrat. With the advent of a Republican admins tration. he was given another ap- pointment by Gov. Scott c. Bone, and later by Gov. George A. Parks. During the latter's tenure the of

ANOTHER TERM HEEL D VITAL TO
 F.D.R.'S PLANS
M a t e ialization of Econ omic Reform Will Re-
 quire Many Years
By BYRON PRICE Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington


 Intimate friends of President Roosevelt are saying now that his program of social revolution and permanent economic reform prob- ably will attain full materializa- tion only if and when he is elect ed to a second term.
 They think the four years for which he was elected in 1882 will be occupied chiefly with emergen- cies handling of the recovery pol icies. His own Budget message, in which he named 1886 as the first year of restored prosperity, coin- cides with that suggestion.
 When he runs for reelection in 1886, as everyone expects him to- his friends look for him to prom ise that a second term would be dedicated to the building of that new order to which he has made, thus far, only genera1ized refer ences.
 It is the belief of many in the administration that such current projects as stock market regulation, banking reform and even limited perpetuation of NRA principle S merely nibble at the sort of per- manent readjustment MT. Roose- welt has in mind.
 That he will want to go much further toward the curbing of wealth, once the emergency is past, is taken for granted by those who know him.

PERSONAL ADJUSTMENT

Further readjustment of person. mel on the staffs of several im- portant governmental agencies ap- pears likely.
 Some of the emergency adminis- trations have shaken down to a point where reductions and consol- idations are in prospect. A be- ginning already has been made in MIRA and AAA. The White House will try to cut expenses below the budget authorizations
 Besides, those who are out of sympathy with recent Roosevelt moves, particularly on such mat ters as currency. will be politely shown the door unless they volun- tarily get out.
 Some Treasury realignments are indicated. It still is a subject of speculation among associates of Budget Director Douglas whether he will go or stay.
