is FAITHFUL TO
ADMINISTRATION

Performance.
BY DANIEL VI. KIDNEY
Times stan Writer

WASHINGTON. Aug. 27.-When
the books Of session just closed were
audited today they disclosed that
both Indiana Senator's and the two
Representatives from the Indian
apolis districts we're quite regular in
their support Of the Administration,
which was not the case with certain
other Of their Democratic colleagues.
Although Pep. Louis Ludlow,
author Of America Go Bust,
bridled a bit at many Of the New
Deal proposals, when the vote was
finally taken he was on the Admin
istratiOn side on most major meas
ures, the record disclOses.
Rep. William II. Larrabee never
pretends 70 be anywhere else, al
though both the Congressman voted
for the inhationary Patman bonus
bill which was violently opposed by
President Roosevelt.
Both Senators Frederick VanNuys
and Sherman Minton did the same
The senior Senator likewise OPP
posed the Administration by sup
porting the McCarran amendment
TO pay prevailing wages on works
relief projects Aside from his
bonus vote, Senator Minton re-
NAMED within the fold.
Major measures which both the
representatives from the Indianap-
oils districts and the two Senators
supported included:
Social security. $4,000 100000
works relief, Wagner labor disputes,
banking. AAA amendments, tax
the-rich, Frazier-Lemke mortgage
moratorium, railroad pensions, truck
and bus regulation. Guffey coal con-
troll. neutrality. Hole extension and
alcohol control.
With the exception of Rep. Lud-
low they also supported the Wheel
er-Rayburr death sentence" util-
ity holding company bill and NRA
extension. Rep. Ludlow did vote for
the compromise settlement of the
utility bill, but earlier had sup
ported the power interests against
the President
Other HOOsier Congressman who
remained regular throughout the
sessions were Reps. Schultz, Boehne,
Greenwood and Grove.

Warrington, April 25.-(R-The
machinery which President Roosevelt
Is setting up to spend the 1850 000.-
900 work relief fund drew praise and
criticism Thursday from opposite
sides Of the political fence.
1T shows" said Speaker Byrns,
that he Is going to carry out his
promise to handle the money through
existing agencies. He is keeping
another promise by remaining per-
sonally responsible for expenditures. !"

ranking Republican member Of the
appropriations committee which
handled the relief bill, fired this
comment ut the job-making setup:

These clashing views were voiced
% the capital waited for the presi-
dent to appoint the powerful allot-
ment board which viii pass finally
upon proposed projects.
There was much speculation q to
the part which Harry L. Hopkins. the
relief administrator, will play In the
works drive. In informed circles 1t
was predicted he would have consid-
cradle to say about where and on
what the work relief money shall be
spent. Craftsmanship of the allot-
ment board was believed to be re-
served for Roosevelt, however.

new STRATEGY TO
BLOCK LEMKE BILL
FROM House VOTE
Rules Committee Demands That
Members Of Agricultural
Group Be Recorded

Washington, April 25-(R-Roose-
welt leaders in the house decided
to use novel strategy in what
they predicted would be a successful
effort to block further action on the
Frazier-Lemkc bill. a 100000 900
measure to refinance
farm mortgages.
The circumstances were these:
Last week the bill was approved by
the house agriculture committee in
secret session. But under house rules,
bills approved by the committee can
not be considered on the floor unless
q special resolution Is presented max
ing their consideration in order. Such
resolutions must come from the rules
committee. which Is dominated by ad.
men.
Want Roll Call Disclosed
The roll call by which the Frazier.
Lemke bill was approved In the ag-
riculture committee has been kept
secret. Some said the reason for this
was precedent. plus fear that
votes for the bill might be interpret
ed In some congressional districts Is

finance farm mortgages at ~ per

mittee to make the bill in order. A
usually well-informed individual. who
preferred to remain anonymous, said
that Lemke had been told
he must furnish the rules committee
with q list OF men on the agriculture
who voted for the bill.
The informant added that unless
I'll the Il who were reported to have
voted for the bill agreed to testify for

there would be no resolu-
lion bringing the measure to the floor.
