CONGRESS To
LEND AID ON
LEGISLATION
Will Back Administration In
Attacks To Nullify New Deal
Regulations
BY LYLE G. WILSON

WASHINGTON, March bright
on the "new dealo horizon Is as
surance of congressional cooperation
in a counter attack against federal
court rulings that much of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's IS emergency legis-
lation is unconstitutional. This is
in contrast to congress attitude
toward other White House prob
lens.
There is a note of honest convic-
ton in assurances Of administra-
ton lawyers that the Weirton steel
decision against labor's collective
bargaining will not prevail.
Whether additional legislation
would correct faults alleged in that
guarantee to labor Is not yet eW-
dent.
Legislative assistance for IVA
has been discovered and is before
congress. Federal Judge William L.
Grubb held iva distribution of
power to be illegal. Sen. George W..
Norris (Rep) Nebraska, and Rep.
John Rankin (Dem) Mississippi,
have offered joint resolution to
make more challenges of that ma
ture hazardous and, therefore, less
likely.
The Norris Ranking resolution
would require persons seeking to
enjoin iva to post bond to cover
! all losses and damage which might
accrue by interruption of the devel-
opment of the world IS greatest pub
licly owned power source. The au-
thors contend most suits against
IVA are filed merely to harrass
the government and without expect.
alton that the complaints will wir
in the ultimate supreme court de-
cisiOn. , S., .t
Legislation to close the court OF
claims to suits against the govern
ment for damages arising from
abandonment of the gold standard
is an obvious and obtainable de-
fense of administration policies. 1t
will be resorted to only If there is
good reason to believe such suits
are likely to be filed and won.

Meeting Place
For Chambers
Changed Again

In order to accommodate the
large group which is expected to
attend tonight IS monthly meeting
of the Associated Chambers of Com
merce at Holtville, the Holtville
Chamber of Commerce has asked
The Press to announce that the
gathering will be held at the parish
house of the Methodist church, one
block north of the Holtville civic
center.
The meeting was originally sched-
uled to be held at the civic center,
then, because of the large number
of reservations the place was
changed to the Gresham building.
President Claiborne of the Holtville
chamber, as the demand for places
increased, finally changed the gath

where the Methodist ladies will
serve the dinner, which commences
promptly at z O'Clock. Following
the dinner and the business meet

INTEREST IN
VEGETABLES
FOR CANNING

Vegetable growers in Imperial
Valley have indicated an interest
in the propositions made by the
Long Beach Chamber of Commerce
that they should grow vegetables
for canning purposes. The Long
Beach organization In a commune
cation to Manager Hays Of the El
Centre. Chamber of Commerce has
stated that 1t is negotiating with
canning concern for the purchase
of a canning plant there which has
beensid for the past two or three
years for the purpose of utilizing
the same for canning vegetables
grown in Imperial Valley. The
question was asked of Hays if I'M
perial Valley farmers would be will
ing to grow peas, corn, pumpkins
and cabbage for the cannery mar
ket.
The Japanese Vegetable Growers
! association, contacted by Hays,
expressed willingness to consider
planting vegetables designed partic-
ularly for canning purposes, and
! the secretary, e. K. Sasaki, has ar
ranged for meeting In Long Beach
with the chamber of commerce
group there.
1t is believed by growers here
that an entire new list of vegetables
can be produced in Imperial VAL
ley. designed particularly for can
ming. as the time of maturity is not
so important to the cannery. Many
such vegetables can be grown at a
lower cost than the winter garden
crops which are timed to ripen in
nlid-winter and often require brush
covering or other protection.

which would enable him to go
ahead with his program without
appearing to recede from the firm
opposition he has shown to the
prevailing wage clause.

ing its cause to the people and In
surgent senators standing firm. 1t
appeared likely the White House
would have to accept some form
of wage guarantee If 1t Is to free
the measure from the senate tan

An ultimate settlement through

anticipated. But the nature OF
the eventual compromise was un-
certain. i.
Labor Unyiclding
Negotiations that began unsuc-
cessfully yesterday, win be contin-
,ied over the weekend, or until some
some satisfactory basis for pro-
ceeding with the suddenly halted
relief program has been reached.
Labor forces, confident of their
strength in the senate, said they
would not yield.

American Federation of Labor last
night broadcast declaration that
the prevailing wage amendment is
1more vital to the economic vel
fare OF the nation than any isstie
that has faced us since the incep-
tion of the recovery program. -
All of the negotiations were sec

on efforts to revise the McCarran

form which both the White House
and labor representatives would ac-
cept.

ion were presented to President
Roosevelt by Senate Majority Lead

SAN FRANCISCO, March /. UP
Perplexed California relief Officials,
seeking a method whereby they can
provide adequate relief for 1,200, 600
persons on state unemployment
rolls, probably will substitute direct
food distribution for cash relief,
State Administrator Frank Y. Nc
Laughlin said today.
Mclaughlin indicated the plan
probably. would be approved today
by SERA officials.
The proposal provides for pur-
chase of food in wholesale quanti-
ties and distribution of the groceries
in place of cash food budgets.
The change was necessitated by
reduction of CALIFORNIA; federal re-
lief fund ALLEGATION for March from
$l600O,O00 to 100000.
We've got to feed the people re-
Edrdless of curtailment of federal
funds" Mclaughlin said, predicting
the plan would be launched after a
conference of executives tonight.
The plan proposed TO buy food at
rock bottom prices-potatoe from
Idaho in carload lots, lettuce from
Mexico, canned goods and other
groceries here or wherever they may
be obtained cheapest.
Saving Expected
Hundreds of trucks, 300 distribute
ing centers and SIS warehouses are
ready throughout the state to set the
plan in motion, Mclaughlin said.
SERA officials estimated the plan
would save 81 500 600 a month, conf
pared with cash or food order re-
lief. The only cash thereafter dis
tributed would be for other relief
budget items-lights, gas, water,
heat and partial rent.
II was estimated the March food
bill would total $6,00O,o00 under the

HOME OWNERS
LOAN ACTIVITY
Deadline For the Filing Of
Applications Expired On
Thursday Night
DELINQUENCIES NEXT

John H. Fahey, HOLC Chairman,
on HOLC Delinquencies, has this
statement to make: The time linn
it for distressed home owners to
file applications with the Home
Owners Loan Corporation expired
at midnight ON last Thursday, June
27. In the next few months, the
Corporation will complete its lend
/ ing activities. From that time on,
its duty will be to collect the
monthly payments due on its loans
from about million home owners.
| The success of this enormous ser
vicing operation will rest mainly
upon the inherent honesty of the
American people. Moreover, the
Corporations loans afford a con-
venient method of repayment,
within the means of the vast ma
jority of borrowers from this Cor
poration. Finally, these loans are
a first lien on homes valued at least
% percent above the amount of the
loans. The Corporations execu-
tives recognize that in some cases.
| the borrower is unemployed or 9TH
erwise unable to make his pay
ments in full for the time being.
Such instances will be given rea-
sonable consideration, in an effort
to help the home owner to get back
on his feet without sacrificingg his
dwelling, but the Corporation has
already begun foreclosure proceed
ings against several hundred bor-
rowers who wilfully defaulted in
their payments. 1t must continue
that policy in the public interest.
The repayment of loans to the
Home Owners Loan Corporation
cannot be neglected by persons who
have no claims to indulgence at the
expense of the American people as
whole. Any borrower who evad-
es payment is simply throwing the
cost of his own negligence on the
general public, which stands liable
for the Corporations Government
guaranteed bonds, of which over
billion dollars will soon be out
standing. Delinquency on Hole
loans must be kept to the absolute
minimum represented by actual
distress, otherwise the resulting
burden would rest upon the entire
public. From the efforts which
most borrowers are making to
meet their payments and keep
their homes, it is clear that they
fully understand this fact"
