an unspoken fear of price-kitlng.
This possibility is now one OF
the ma jor concerns of the admin
istration. 1t was the subject OF
important discussion at the Presi-
dents first cabinet meeting upon
his return to washington.
AAA officials say privately that
increases in the price OF meat,
milk. and dairy products are prac-
tically certain.
AS a matter of fact, milk pro-
ducers already have begun agita-
ton for higher rates, claiming
that the increased cost of feed has
appreciably boosted their eX-
penseS.
In what way, and to what eX-
tent, the problem should and can
be met still is undecided.
The governments huge pur-
chases of cattle in drought-strick-
en- areas is being seized upon by
some of the Presidents advisers
as offering a means of curbing
meat prices.
The government. they point out,
will establish a large meat re-
serve which could be put on the
market at moderate prices, thus
helping to prevent excessive price
lacking.
More remides than this, how
ever, will be necessary.
GONE of the political plotters
- in the capital have evolved a
scheme TO get around the Presi-
dents dictum that he will keep
out of nter-Democratic primary
fights.
They used it TO help out Sem
ator Tom Connally when he faced
a hard fight for denomination IN
Texas.
The device is simple. A tele-
gram is sent to the senator in
trouble and asks him 10 come TO
Washington TO see the President
on urgent business. This makes
him appear important in the

Roosevelt is behind him.

Passage Of the reciprocal tariff
bill might enable 1,0O0,000 Ameri-
can automobiles to be sold abroad
with the resultant benefit to other
industries, Robert Graham, vice
president of the Graham Motor
Corporation, and a representative
Of the National Automobile Cham
ber of Commerce, told the Senate
Finance Committe today.
Representatives of other indus
tries, meanwhile, sought exe1np-
tion of their businesses from the
bills provisions. Harry L. Derby,
representing the Manufacturing
Chemists Association, asserted the
bill would block industrial ex-
panSion.
Mr.. Graham said exports de-
clined to a record low of 181, 900
cars in 1892, but increased to 24O,-
900 last year.
Tariff Crippled Trade
He said the Hawley-Smoot tariff
law had seriously damaged the au-
tomotive export trade. He added:
"A. foreign demand for one
million cars, possible with the
aid of President ROOseveIt's tar
iff policy, would mean that or
ders would have to be placed by
automobile manufacturers for
100000 tons of steel, 100000

sas to give the party members an

ure in its present form. President

to revive our foreign trade, there
is serious danger that we may drift
into a domestic situation where

which we have so long lived"
The bill would give the PreSi-
dent authority to negotiate recip-
rocal trade agreements with other
nations and to raise or lower tariff

Secretary Stimson said he did
not believe the objections that the

down by President Roosevelt, while
the Senate Banking Committee
drastically changed the admins
tration bill.
An overwhelming vote on pass
age in the House will strengthen
the administration forces in the
bitter fight ahead in the Senate.
While the bill faced violent
House opposition, Chairman Ray

pected the measure to be passed
substantially as recommended.
Creation Of an independent COM
mission to govern the exchange,
as recommended by the Senate

business appeared to be possible

Britten Attacks
Representative Britten (R0 OF
Illinois unlooSed a barrage against
the bill, declaring that 1t was con-
ceived in "the little red house in
Georgetown" This house, Britten
says, is the place where the So
called radical legislation Of the Ad-
ministration is drafted. He de-
clared:
"The popular demand for
stock exchange regulation has
given the Prof. Felix Frank
furter cheer leaders q vehicle
to control all credit and cor

He said that Telford Taylor, "a

Chairman Rayburn declared that
the bill was conceived in a spirit
Of trueSt conservatism"
It is designed, he said, to pre-
vent the abuses that occurred
during the boom days up to 1929.
Rayburn was determined to op-
pose all proposals for modifica-
tion of the margin section, which
is the heart of the bill from the
standpoint of Wall Street.
The bill requires an initial
margin of As per cent as COM
pared with the usual 80 per cent
now requierd by brokers. An
alternative, based on the three
year average price, is provided,
and the Federal Reserve Board
is given power to raise or lower
margins after the bill becomes
effective.
