NEW TAXATION FOR
RELIEF IS PROPOSED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. (UP)
The demand that the administra-
tons work relief program be
financed by new taxation was in
jected today into the stormy CON
gressional crisis which has brought
all New Deal legislation to a halt.
The senate was in recess, while
leaders working earnestly in an
ticipation of the Presidents re-
turn to the capital tomorrow
sought to bring order out of the
troubled situation which has de-
veloped.
Three things threatened any re-
turn to orderly procedure by the
federal lawmakers. They are:
l. Republican demands for as
surance that revenue would be
provided for any work relief pro-
gram which may be attempted;
2. The statement by leaders of
organized labor that they are un-
changed regarding their demand
for the prevailing wage" clause
in the $4,880,000,000 work relief
bill;
8. A movement among "Pro-
gressive" Republicans to bring the
work relief bill back to the senate
floor for a finished fight.
Demands that new taxation be
made was by Republicans with
holding their identity.

ROOSEVELT CONFERS,
WITH RAYMOND MOLEY

HYDE PARK, N. T., Feb. ~.
(UP).-Indications Of a possible
move aimed at composing the diff
ferences that now threaten to
wreck the administrations gigan-
tic works relief program were
seen yesterday in an unscheduled
conference here between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prof. Ray
mond Moley, formerly his chief
"brain truster.'
For more than two hours the
President and Moley put their
heads together in the high cell
inged library of the Hyde Park
house.
What decisions they reached
were not disclosed, however, ss
the latter left hastily to catch
train for New York City.
Observers believed Moley was
invited to Hyde Park primarily to
explore the developments that
have arisen out Of the determine
ton of a senate bloc to write a
prevailing" wage rate into the
relief bill and to assist in mapping
out an administration counter at
tack.
Mr.. Roosevelt may not make
any overtures until convinced that
the senate bloc will remain ada
mant. White House friends stlll
hoped that the chief executive
eventually would achieve his OBJ,
jective through popular sentiment
for the administration measure.
A stream of messages and let
tiers continued to arrive in Pough-
keepsie while word from Washing
ton said that all sections of the
country had indicated by commu,
nications that they were behind
Mr.. Roosevelt's plan calling for
S4,8SO, 100000 in meeting the un-
employment situation.
Meanwhile the President was
silent on the entire matter. lie
kept in touch, however, with all
Washington developments.

Mr.. Ewbank expressed the hope
that his committee would be able
to show to the rating authorities
that the losses in the community
had so materially decreased that
there would be no need for an in
