doubt that the Federal Govern

benefits under the social secur'

Sembles in January.
The President said the situa-
ton looked very discouraging so
far as finding temporary funds

was concerned. The AdminiStra-
ton will try to set up enough
of an Administrative organizar
ton so that the contracts with
the States can be worked out and
all of the paper work done while
Congress is in recess.
No Special Session
But he said emphatically he had
no intention of calling Congress
into special session to appropriate
the money which was killed oil
by Huey Longs lastrminute Sen

It was suggested to the Presi-
dent that States with sufficient
funds might pay all of the $50
old-age pensions and the benefits
to children, the blind and Grip
pied, with the expectation the
Governments share would be re-
paid early next year. The PreSi-
dent pointed out that no pledge
could be made to the States Of
repayment and he was doubtful
such a scheme could be worked
out.
AS for Other items in the de-
ficiency bill, it appeared the
hiatus of congressional adjourn

The power Of a Congressional

next year.
A specially created House Cam

mittee is the vehicle through
which strong Administration
forces hope to trim the sails Of
the Louisiana "Kingfish" before
the 1885 Presidential campaign.
The committee, which is ex-
pected to be headed by Repre-
sentative William j. Granfied
Cd of Massachusetts,, is to be
named today by Speaker Byrns.
Broad, Powers Given
Under q resolution approved
before adjournment. the commit
tee viii have broad power to
cover an preliminarieS in connec-
ton with the campaign and other
activities related to the Federal
Government.
The program Of House forces
who obtained enactment OF the
resolution year ahead OF the
usual time is designed to reach
all agencies campaigning against
the Administration.
The Liberty League and other
similar organizations-which Ad-

the Long machine are known to
have been active in obtaining the
House action and are keenly in
terested in the personnel OF the
committee.
Charges frequently have been
made that the Louisiana Senator
has set up a dictatorship" in a
republic. The power voted by the
House, it was said, would permit
an investigation of charges OF this
nature.
Past congressional campaign in
vestigating committees have been
named Just before the primary
elections in a presidential year.
The recent rise of anti-Adminis'
tration activity in all parts OF the
country has convinced many
Democratic leaders that the 1886
Presidential campaign is already
under way.
They fear that scores Of organi-
cations not connected with any
party organization will raise huge
campaign chests and carry on a
constant drum fire Of anti-Ad-
miniStration fire.
Republican House leaders, how
ever, entered no objection to the
creation of the committee.
They were prepared to demand
an investigation of outside agen-
cies which are banned together to
support the Administration, and
thus cover all political propaganda
in the inquiry.
