TO Be CONSIDERED
Senator King and Newly
Created Commission
Confer Today.

Plans for co-ordinating recreational
activities of Federal and District
agencies were to be considered this

today would be to listen to the pro-

view that local agencies should have
control over District recreation facili-
ties.

reation Commission that the move
ment to bring about cooperation and
co-ordinated planning would not in
terfere with the supervision each
agency exercises over its own recrea-
tional facilities.
The conference today is an out
growth of a discussion which took
place in the District Committee two
weeks ago, in the course of which
Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts
commended that legislation is neces-

There was one little thing which
may have prevented Gov. Curley from
telling Messrs Roosevelt, Roper ct al.
what he really thought. He had an
appointment the following day with
Mr. Ickes to ask for 100000 of
P. w. A. money for his State.
The energy and scope Of the New
Deal defense campaign indicates the
general program Is not going to be
curtailed much without a struggle.
The Wallace crowd decided to stand by
the cotton program and will fight. In
all the cabinet speeches there was not

The New Deal crowd is thoroughly
smoked up on the inside about the
growing vocal volume of its opposi-
tion. Mr.. Roosevelt is actively Or
ganizing to match voice for voice and
word for word.
This is why the cabinet is being
pushed out on the stump again. In
side of few days. last week, half of
them were out defending the New

sent to Philadelphia to answer the
Douglas attack Agriculture Secretary
Wallace used his trip to Atlanta to
help quiet resistance to the cotton
program. Treasury Secretary Nor

ers' group that the New Deal was
the third economy" somewhere be-
tween individualism and socialism
He also termed it delicate social
surgery"
But the best example of the tech

House organized to handle the New

Diplomacy in Cotton Row.
The Governors led by Gov. Curley
came here with blood in their eyes,
prepared to put on good campaign
against the cotton program They
wanted elimination of the processing
tax, protecting against japanese COM
petition and some other things. Their
pockets bulged with statistics. They
even had an exhibit of cheap Jap

But Mr.. Roosevelt organized as
extensively to meet them as they
did to bring pressure on him. State

DEMOCRAT CHIEFS
DRIVING CONGRESS
Predict Speed After N. R. A.
and Security Bills Are
Passed.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Democratic leaders strove hard to-
day to get Congress to hit a faster
pace, and they predicted optimistically
that after The social security and N.
r. A. extension bills are out of the
way things will speed up.
After personal appeal from Speak
er Byrns, Democratic whips put on the
pressure today so the security bill may
be passed early next week at the
latest. max
Hearings End Tomorrow.
The Senate Finance Committee pre-
pared to close its hearing on the bill
to extend N. r. AS life, taking it up
for amendments as soon as brief study
has been given the bonus.
Leaders pointed to the Senate's
speed yesterday as evidence that it
could work fast when 1t chose. In
only a few hours 1t passed the $751;
600, 900 Interior Department appropri-
alton bill and the measure for Fed
eral control of interstate bus and truck
operation.
In the House the legislation look
ing to abolish utilities holding COM
panies had passed the hearing stage
as had the omnibus banking bill. Two
more annual appropriations bills-for
the Navy and Congress-were waiting
their turn on the floor.
There were some expressions OF re-
sentiment in the House at the fact
that the Senate Finance Committee
had set aside N R. A. until it finished
with the bonus.
House Seen "On Spot"
At a White House conference early
in the session House leaders pointed
out that they had to originate all bills
dealing with taxes and appropriations
- including the security bill and
therefore, the House members would
be put on the spot" frequently by
voting on bills before they were passed
by the Senate.
One House leader suggested that
the Senate should at least pass the
N. r. A. extension bill first. But when
he got word that the N. r. A. bill had
been postponed temporarily by the
Senate committee, he said privately.
I'll bet, by gosh, that We have To
take the rap again and pass that bill
first. It's not fair"

House Committee Reports
Bill Authorizing Use of
Loan Balance.

The House District Committee to-
day ordered a favorable report on
bill authorizing the Commissioners
to use the unexpended balance Of an
authorized sl0.750,000 p. w. A. loan
made during the last Congress to
construct the long-proposed courts
building originally intended to be
located IN the municipal center area.
This measure passed the Senate
April and is expected to be acted
on by the House when it takes up
the District calendar Monday.
Up-tO-Date Quarters.
The proposed building would pro-
vide new and up-to-date quarters
for the Police, Municipal and Juvenile
Courts and the Office of Recorder
OF Deeds. 1t will be located in Judi
ciary Square.
One amendment was made to the
Senate bill at the request of Corpora
ton Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman.
This would authorize the Commission
ers to use for construction of the
building the unexpended balance of
the P. W. A. loan or funds of any
agency designated by the President.
Other Bills Favored.
Two other bills also were favorably
reported-one authorizing an appro-
priation of $4,000 from the revenues
OF the District TO maintain public
order during the Shrine convention in
June and the other giving the Com
missioners authority to make special
regulations for the SEVENTEEN Ma
tional Encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic in Washington
in September, 1886.
The Public Health Subcommittee,
headed by Representative Virginia
JenckeS, Democrat, Of Indiana, re-
ported the Quinn anti-vivisection bill.
The full committee, however, failed TO
take action on this measure.
