WORK RELIEF
BILL BOGGED
BY SENATORS
Approval OF Prevailing Wage
Clause May Prompt Drastic
Changes In Measure
BY ii. o. THOMPSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Labor S
victory over the administration on
the prevailing wage issue opened
the door today to possible drastic
changes in the $4,880, 100000 work
relief plan and in other vital phases
of the "new deal 'sp recovery pro-
gram. rsss MT
The margin OF victory for the
forces of organized labor in the
senate was only one vote. "A to 43
but it threw administration leaders
into confusion and left them uncer-
tain as to their next move.
1t cast a doubt upon the future
of such legislation as NRA extern
sion, wanted by the administration
and the Wagner labor disputes bill
and the 30-hour week bill, both of
which have the backing of the Am
erican Federation of Labor but lack
White House support.
There was also the extremely i'm
portant question of getting money
for relief purposes. The long drawn
out senate controversy over the
81 $50 100000 bill-it passed the
house January "a and has been tied
up in the senate ever Since-al-
ready has necessitated make-shift
arrangements for obtaining relief
funds.
Tl,oro st;1I ra,,,oi,,oJ tla hor,1
that the prevailing wage amend
ment might be discarded wher
house and senate conferees get to-
gether to draft the completed re-
lief bill.
If the prevailing wage amend
ment survived this test it would
meet a presidential veto.
Should the need for relief money
become acute, the administration
might find it necessary to abandon
the work relief policy, enunciated
by the President in his annual mes
sage when he said that the govern
ment must "quit this business of
relief in favor OF an "outright
dole.D
Amendments to substitute the
"dole' for the work-relief plan
are pending in the senate, together
with controversial amendments con-
cerning initiation, the soldiers bon
lis and a greatly enlarged public
works program.
All these must be settled before
the bill is put into final form.

President Roosevelt gave some ad-
vice last Fall to Mrs. Bertha L.
Buchanan, a former Washington resi-
dent. Yesterday she repaid him with
painting which took her nearly
year to complete and which, she be-
lieves, gave her the secret to painting
which may bring success.
Several years ago Mrs. Buchanan
lived here, but left to study art at
Columbia University. After a short
while there she studied with noted
landscape artists in New York and
Florida and later moved to San Diego,
Calf. With the death Of her hus-
band, a Spanish War vet
eran. debts piled up and when a
$1,000 note came due she faced the
loss of her home.
When she appealed to the Presi-
dent, she says, he referred her to
the Home Owners Loan Corp. and
her home was saved.
Relieved Of this burden, she devoted
all her time to painting one Of Cali
fornia's beauty spots, saving what she
could from smaller paintings for clubs
for her gift to the President.
Yesterday when the painting Of the
famed Pine Valley and its c. C. C.

ton or Stupidity.

Mai. Brown, 1t Is true, has been In
the closed committee room every day
since the start of the inquiry. but
most of the time he occupied the
witness stand. Now, however, he will
have to stay on the outside and cool
his heels.
Mai Brown made a special request
to listen to the testimony flrst-hand,
because if anything of a sensational
nature developed, he wanted to be
prepared to act.
The proposal did not sound so good
to the committee. 1t took the posi-
ton that the presence of the police
superintendent might have a gag ef-
feet on the witnesses. In other words,
it was felt a witness would talk more
freely to congressional committee
than to police official.

1t was early in the hearings when
several committee members became
irked. One charged news men with
misinterpreting his statements. An
other said condolences were being be-
trayed by publication of "off record
statements. A move was made to bar
the press. The more conservative
minds insisted that reporters remain.
They are on probation now as COM
promise One false move and out they
60 into the corridor with Maj. Brown.
To cap the climax, so to speak,
Blanton has unloosed his wrath on
Representative Randolph, the amiable
and industrious chairman of the in
vestigating committee. Though an
innocent victim of the attack, Ran
dolph must bear the brunt of 1t.
This latest episode in the commit
tees activities was due to Blantons S
insistence that he not be photographed
while on the witness stand. He said
he was mot seeking publicity and
didn't want his picture in the papers. Z"
Randolph assured Blanton his wish
would be respected. The Texan, how
ever, looked around the committee
room and saw a photographer with a
camera trained in his direction.
Again Blanton said he would re-
fuse to testify with a photographer
present. Randolph then asked the
cameramen to leave the room, and
treasured Blanton no pictures would
be made of him.
But one photographer remained. Nc
one knew it, not even the reporters
themselves. He was stranger in the
fraternity. This photographer had a
small camera concealed under his
coat. And while Blanton was waving
his arms wildly, the cameramar
opened his coat, made shot" and
left.
The picture appeared in Satur-
day morning paper. Blanton was fu-
rious. The telephone line between
his Office and Randolph's cracked
Randolph's explanation was futile.
