WORK BILL HANGS
In THE BALANCE

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. CUP.
The fate Of the $4.880, 100000
work relief project hung in the
balance last night as an admins
tration spokesman warned that
President Roosevelt would aban-
don the program rather than per-
nit it to become a catch-all radi-
cal proposals.
Smarting from their defeat
Thursday when the senate voted
"a to 43 in favor of the McCar-
ran prevailing wage amendment,
party leaders succeeded yesterday
in having the jobs bill referred
back to the appropriations COM
mittee.
simultaneously they agreed that
the senate's action had dimmed
President Roosevelt's hopes of
quitting "this business of relief"
and substituting for it a works
program.
Unless the leaders of various
blocs give assurance that they
will desist in their efforts to
amend the measure drastically,
party lieutenants said it was

REVERSAL ON
RELIEF BILL
JARS LEADERS
Byrns Now Says ''Plan Is
Dead;" See Dole as
the Alternative
INSURGENTS BAND
TO FORCE OWN ISSUES

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. (UP).
President Roosevelt's leadership
faced the most severe test of his
administration as congressional
leaders, their confidence shaken
by reverses, fought to put the
new deal back on an even keel.
The work relief bill, temporar-
lily checked by the senate was the
issue which brought about the
trying situation.
Senator Jas F. Byrns, d., S. c.,
said that the plan was dead. This
may be sincere or strategic
move.
The report that the president
might take the cause to the pco-
Pile to force congress in line did
not receive confirmation.
Revolt of senate Democrats
spread to the house where the
huge house Democratic majority
has been held in line.
Leaders, OF house insurgents
welded a secret organization Of
100 young Democrats to force a
vote on issues which the leaders
would avoid.
Behind this movement was the
admitted refual of house leaders
to give way to legislation lacking
White House approval with the
exception of the bonus measure.

POST TO TRY
FLIGHT AGAIN.
Believes He Can Rocket
Plane Over Continent
Under s Hours Time

LOS ANGELES, Feb. %. CUP
Wiley Post left for Muroc dry
lake today to bring the Winnie
Mae back to prepare for another
.stratOSphere flight which may
take place next week.
Post planned to rocket mis-
plane through the stratosphere,
where air resistance is low, at a
speed of 400 miles an hour, in
order to cross the continent from
west to east in better than eight
hours time.
He took off yesterday from
Union air terminal at 9:07 a. M,
eastern standard time, and had
risen to nearly $4,000 feet when
he discovered the oil pressure
dropping. He then found the oil
leak. and Immediately turned
back.
He was about $50 miles from
Los Angeles when he discovered
the leak. Travelling on a sputter-
ing motor, he finally was forced
to kill his engine and make a
dead stick" landing on Muroc
lake, a flat bed of sand formerly
used for automobile speed tests.
The only damage to the plane
was a bent propeller. His new
device designed to flatten it hor-
izontally against the blunt nose
of the Winnie Mae, failed to
work, and the propeller dragged
as the plane skidded over the
sand.
"I'm satisfied that l will be
able to prove what wanted to
that the stratosphere is the place
for high-speed flying" Post said
here last night. "The Winnie Mae
performed perfectly. The break IN
the line is a mishap that might
happen any time. -.

transport plane can cross the
country under eight hours II IL

tude."

FEDERAL INJUNCTIONS WHICH
HALT IVA ELECTRIC POWER
PROGRAM GRANTED FRIDAY
Judge Grub Delivers Sur
prise Opinion Govern
ment Sale of Power
Is Unlawful
is PROPRIETARY, NOT
FEDERAL FUNCTION

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. %.
(UP) An immediate appeal will
be taken against the adverse
Tennessee Valley Authority rul-
ing of Federal Judge William |.
Grubb at Birmingham yesterday,
David f. Lilienthal, of the IVA
announced in a statement here
today. Judge Grub ruled IVA
could not legally sell electric
power in competition with pri-
vate business.
1t was a major blow at Presi-
dent Roosevelt's "yardstick" pro-
gram for the sale of cheap cleo
trio power. At Birmingham. Jas.
Lawrence Fay, chief of the IVA
legal staff, said there was pos
sibility that the IVA would seek
short cut in it's appeal to the
supreme court by applying to
the tribunal for a writ of GER
tiorari Immediately upon filing
the formal appeal with the cir
cult court of appeals at New Or
leans. This step is being consid-
cred but they have not reached
a decision.
Lilienthal pointed out that the
court did not specifically hold the
IVA unconstitutional. He assert
ed that sale of power to various
communities was not affected but
that Alabama will have to await
action by the supreme court.
BIRMINGHAM. Feb. %. (UP)
Injunctions blocking the Tennes-
see Valley Authority's "yardstick"
electric power program in Ala
bama were granted in federal
court here late yesterday by
Judge William I. Grub.
In a surprise decision delivered
orally at conclusion of iva at
torneys' arguments in defense of
the suits, Judge Grub ruled that
sale of power is a proprietary
function and not incidental to the
lawful functions of the govern
ment.
He said it was not necessary
for him to rule upon the consti-
tutionality of the entire IVA act,
but that IVA directors had as
sumed powers not granted them
in the act and that these powers
were unconstitutional.
IVA attorneys announced they
would appeal the decision imme-
diately to the federal circuit court
of appeals at New Orleans. Ulti-
mately, the supreme court prob
ably will have to decide whether
or not the New Deal agency can
carry on its program for selling
electricity to municipalities and in
rural regions at rates about 5O
per cent less than present charges
of private utilities.
Judge Grub granted the petit
ton of preferred stockholders of
the Alabama Power company for
permanent injunction to nullify
contract under which the iva
sought to purchase $2,OOO,OOO
worth of transmission lines and
distribution plants from the pri-
vate utility.
He also permanently enjoined

Religious Life
CABINET MAN is IN
ASHEVILLE FOR MEET

ASHEVILLE, Feb. 23.-De-
scribing Western North Carolina
as an area unhurt by material
capitalism" Secretary Henry A.
Wallace in an address today pre-
dicted the way of life and think
ing of the people of this section
might have a tremendous effect
on the rest of the nation in a
religious way.
Secretary Wallace was address
ing an audience of about 1000
persons who were attending the
annual Lords Acre movement
meeting. The secretary of agricul-
ture came from Washington, D.
c., to appear before the group.
Farmers in this section of the
country, Secretary Wallace de-
clared, are the poorest in the ma
ton, from the standpoint of ma
terial wealth. But, he continued,
they are unusually rich in what
1--WE term as life" "The absence
of material wealth may make
them even richer in life"
Profoundly moving religious
activities, the secretary said, al
ways find their base where the
material wealth is small. He cited
several religious beliefs and faiths
as examples.
Faith Of these people (referring
particularly to Western North
Carolina) may have a profound
effect in lifting the shadow cast
upon the country by capitalism
and science of the nineteenth cen
tury," he asserted.
1.-THE people of the cities and
rich farm lands" he further said,
"come to have faith that has re-
placed religion. They have built
up false religious faiths Of their
own-and these are bound to
come to a sad end"
Capitalism, socialism, fascism
communism were classified by the
secretary in "materialistic
group" ..
cat this point, I would say if
the Lords Acre movement means
more material outlook for its
followers, it is a bad thing. But
| | do not believe it means that.
"The church, especially in the
cities. has tended to say to its peo-
pie: Don't bring things: give us
money, and we will divide it as
we see fit -,
"The Lords Acre plan tends to
carry us back to the pre-capltal-
istic days and its followers have
a sympathetic attitude toward
things.
81 believe the Lord is more lord
to rain, sunshine, and these things
than to the factories and other
products of capitalism" the Sec
rotary said. ,
Secretary Wallace compared
the similarity of the Lords Acre
movements attitude to the early
Indians of America. The Indians,
he said, had most profound re-
