INITIATION FEARS
BLOCK GOLD BILL
Senate Committee Withholds. De-
cision on Plan to Fore
stall Suits.

stall Suits.
BY the Associated Press.
Anxiety over initiation and the Ma
tons credit has deferred a Senate
committee decision on administration
legislation to protect the revamped
monetary system from legal sharp
shooting
The House Banking Committee ap-
proved the bill yesterday. while the
corresponding group in the Senate
received Treasury assurances that a
potential ,O00.0GO. 900 imitation
bubble was not involved, as asserted
by some members.
In addition, the latter called In
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau for testimony Monday on the
credit aspects Of the measure. Sen
ators Glass, Democrat, of Virginia,
and McAdoo. Democrat, of California,
had expressed fears on that point.
The legislation would forbid court
suits to collect the present equivalent
of the old gold value of Government
bonds containing the once familiar
gold clause. which was the subject of
last Winters historic Supreme Court
decision.
Senator McAdoo raised the inf1a-
ton issue at yesterdays session. He
contended provision permitting
holders of such bonds to redeem them
in cash at any time raised the pos
sibility of redemption in printing press
money.

Blame Is Only Thing
w. P. A. Has Succeed
ed in Spreading.
BY PAUL MALLON.

TINE most noteworthy progress of
the Works Progress Administra-
tion so far has been in spread
L ing more blame than work.
Every manicured index finger of an
insider seems to be pointed at some
other insider. The fact IS none OF
them will have any roses pinned on
them for what has been done so far
The whole story would require ten
volumes. but a few hearty ak swings
at the red tape will be enough to give
you an idea of what has happened
underneath.
President Roosevelt submitted
the indefinite outlines OF the s4,-
800 900 900 effort sir months ago
and told Congress to hurry 1Cith
the appropriation. The deadline
iDas July 1. although he wanted to
get started much earlier. Today,
the program is still unldunched.
Only tew dozen jobless haze been
transferred from relief to ,0ork
rolls. Final approval has been
giuen only to three State plans
Indiana. Georgia and Alabama)
and only to tho cities lNew York
and Washington.
The most optimistic around Mr..
Hopkins headquarters will confess
off the record, that it will be month
or two yet" before they really get

DEBATE ON A.A.A.
RESUMES MONDAY
Lonergan Amendment Bans
Regulation or Restriction
of Commodity Advertising.

Prevented by slow debate from
reaching final vote in the Senate
late yesterday, the agricultural ad-
justment act amendments face further
debate Monday
Outstanding changes made in the
measure yesterday exempt canning
fruits and beer hops from marketing
agreements. The hops were struck
out by a 48-to-34 vote on motion of
Senator Duffy, Democrat, of Wiscon-
sin, who said their inclusion would
penalize growers of superior grades
Of hops.
Plea by McNary.
Senator McNary, Republican. Of
Oregon asked they be kept in the bill
after describing them as the most
depressed Of all agricultural COM
| modities.
Canning fruits were exempted, 46
to 20, when the Senate rejected a
committee amendment to include
them in the bill.
In bitter speech Senator Metcalf.
Republican. of Rhode Island. said Of
| Secretary Wallace that while acting
in hope of assisting one portion Of our
citizenry, he manages 10 virtually de-
stroy another"
The proposed amendments, he sd-
ded, mark new high in the surren-
der Of our legislative powers and the
shrinking Of our direct obligations to
the American people,
One Of the chief trouble spots was
apparently eliminated by Senator Lon
ergan, Democrat, Of Connecticut
when he introduced amendments for
bidding regulation or restriction OF
advertising Of commodities covered by
the act He said both Chairman
Smith of the Agriculture Committee
and the Agriculture Department had
agreed to them.
| The Lonergan amendment relating
TO advertising provides that no order
shall be issued under the act prohibit
ing, regulating or restricting the ad-
vertising of any commodity or product
covered in the act. The same prohibi-
ton is applied to marketing agree
ments.
A prohibition against a processing
tax on any commodity that goes into
newsprint also is proposed as an addi-
ton to the tax clauses
Senator Lonergan said he had re-
ceived assurances from the admins
tration leadership that these amend
ments would be accepted when he
called them up Monday
The amendment relating TO adver-
tising is as follows:
mo order shall be issued under this
act prohibiting, regulating or restrict
ing the advertising of any commodity
or product covered hereby, nor shall
any marketing agreement contain any
provision prohibiting, regulating or
restricting the advertising Of any COM
modify or product covered by such
marketing agreement"
| The prohibition against a processing
tax on any commodity that goes into
newsprint is proposed as an addition
TO the tax clauses and reads:
Provided. that no such tax shall
be levied upon the processing of any
commodity into newsprint."

now is mainly organization. For some
weeks. the active boss of the program
has been trying to organize staff
Of works supervisors over the country.
All State supervisors receiuing
more than $1,000 salary must be
confirmed by the Senate. Con-
seQuently, the Senators had to be
consulted about these dppointees.
Many small delays developed due
to conflicts betUeen Senators and
| betUeen Senators and Governors.
In some cases. men suggested by
them were rejected by Hopkins.
Impartial observers no,p feel that
he has the nucleus OF a fairly COM
petent staff.
But all this staff is new and in
experienced 1t replaces the old State
relief organizations and hence must
be instructed in its duties. Hopkins
had to go to the extent of organizing
training schools for that purpose.
These are being held now in the
States. zone is going on this week
in North Carolina)
If you want to know why all this
was not done before this late date,
you will have to ask Mr.. Hopkins.
Ickes Held Up Hopkins.
What held up Mr.. Hopkins for two
months before that was Mr.. Ickes. 1t
is not a secret that Messrs Hopkins
and Ickes spared almost continuously
since the legislation was enacted.
Mr.. Hopkins thought in terms of
unemployed people. He did not care
much about projects. except those
which would furnish employment
where the unemployed are. Mr.. Ickes
thought mostly of socially useful prof.
ects. He lost.
The result ,0as that the project
list OF the National Resources
Board had to be tossed out the
UindoU, sheet by sheet. A netO
list of projects ,Das complied. But
after they had been authorized and
announced it UaS diScoUered these
also UOuld not do the job. for the
same reason. The money Mould
be used up without absorbing the
unemployed. because too much
uould 90 for materials. That list
,Das rescinded. Nop it is being
revised
There is a feeling among Mr. Hop
kins' friends that Mr.. Ickes has failed
to overexert himself since he lost the
decision. but that is long story.
Congress Delayed First.
An item of forgotten history is that
the blame for the original delay goes
to Congress. 1t squabbled over the
legislation for three months (exactly
81 days.. The first reason was that it
wanted to find out what projects Pres
ldent Roosevelt had in mind. All it
found out was the report of the Ma
tional Resources Board, containing a
lot of expensive 20-year projects, now
scrapped Another reason was that
Senators wanted to pay prevailing 10
cal wages on relief work. Under the
latest dictum of Mr. Roosevelt June
81, the pay rate will be around $500
year. or $50 per month per man.
President Escapes.
The President himself has escaped
in the general round of finger-point-
ing. If you go back and look into the
record Of his public statements since
January, you will find no evidence of
any promises unfulfilled. For instance,
he mentioned no specific date for
starting the work.

Defense and prosecution completed
arguments before the overnight re-
cess, alternately presenting the 19-
year -old, plump blond as an unwilling
participant and a remorseless con-
spirator in the abduction of the little
heir to the lumber fortune.
When John F. Dore. her court
appointed attorney, denounced her
husband, Harmon, who pleaded guilty,

City girl was shaken by emotion wher
Dore referred to the purchase of q
20-cent cigarette case with SIS ran

her father in Salt Lake City.
1t was this purchase which caused
her arrest there, the subsequent ar
rest of her husband, and the indict-
ment OF Dainard, alias Mahan, or
kidnapping charges.
In concluding his plea Dore said
Il believe mad dogs should be Gagged
but it's not necessary to cage her tc

TO cage her husband and the other
man."
Called Human Cur.
Previously Dore said Waisy wa:
"a human cur" and led his wife
like a dog behind him"
"Oh. she could have left Valley
but women don't leave"
