The outlook for new N. r. A. legis-

ferences between Democratic leaders
on the opposite sides of Capitol Hill.
Party chieftains IN the House ap-
peared determined to fight for the
two-year extension favored by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Senate Democrats, however, planned
to press for action this week on q
resolution by Senator Clark, Democrat
Of Missouri. which would give the
Blue Eagle only 10 months more oi
life.
In the face Of threats by some
Senators to let N R. A. die June II
