PLANS
TWO MESSAGES
New Policy in Dealing With
Congress Believed Indi-
Gated by Report.
BY the Associated Press.


Plans are being made by President
Roosevelt to send two separate special
messages to Congress calling for laws
to regulate utility holding companies
and all forms of Transportation, ac-
cording to reports from official
quarters.
This intention was described as
further illustration Of a new policy
adopted by the President in dealing
with Congress officials said the
President probably would not send
the messages urging passage OF they
legislation until after the congress
sional committees, working, on special
reports regarding the measures, had
formulated the bills.
Criticism Recalled
The method followed by MI. Roose-
welt in the last Congress of sending
special messages and drafts of 'Iegis-
lation to Congress at the same ZINE
aroused in legislative circles the critS-
cism that he was relegating CongressS
into rubber stamp" category.
Whether his message on utility
holding companies will ask Congress
to lay a complete ban against such
organizations or will simply suggest
a prohibition of certain practices was
not made clear. It is on the former
principle that congressional groups
are looking, however, after conferring
with him.
Already considerable opposition has
fIA hi
under which such holding companies
would be abolished by 1910.
Robert E. Healy. member Of the
Security and Exchange Commission
and former counsel of the Federal
Trade Commission, told a House
Commerce Committee yesterday he
would propose changes In that section
of the bill which calls for holding
company abolishment in the next five
years. He did not say what changes
he would propose other than that
they would call for liberalization" of
that section.
Views on Transportation.
officials who have followed the
transportation proposals during their
progress through the several separate
committees and Government agencies
which studied the problems said they
expected the President to send
broad message outlining in consider
able detail his views on what should
be done.
While no official would talk for
quotation, these experts confidently
predicted that the President would
ask for the establishment of a trans
portation Commission which would
have authority over all forms Of land,
sea and air carriers.
Into the Presidential message they
expected to see written portions of
the findings of almost half a dozen
different agencies which have made
long studies of the varying phases of
the whole picture Of hauling.

CANADIAN RADIO BOARD
LAYS EXPANSION PLAN
Construction Program Is Project
ed to Give Complete Coast
to-Coast Coverage.

BY the Associated Press.
OTTAWA. Ontario, March IA
construction program designed to give
the National Radio System complete
coverage from coast to coast is con-
templated by the Canadian Radio
Commission.
The program. If ratified, would en-
tail erection of new stations or in
creasing the power of existing sta
tions in Nova Scotia, Montreal and
Toronto districts to cover Northern
Ontario. Saskatchewan and British
Columbia.
Action on the plans has been de-
layed, it was said, owing to a lack
of funds. The program could be
carried out, it is claimed, for some
thing under 81, ,000, 900. With it would
be associated q plan to extend hours
of national broadcasting.

up around or 8, he does not actually
get out of bed much before 10 or IL.
He has mastered the art Of doing a
good job of work in bed. After his
breakfast has been served, he reads his
mail. and frequently does some dc

before getting dressed and going to
his desk in the executive office.
1t is before he rises that the Presi-

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Industries and Labor
Advance-Nervous
Talk Resumed.
BY PAUL MALLON.

The best balanced business picture
since the depression started is pre-
sented by the chart this month Of
official Government figures.
Industry has surged forward steadily
since last September. During the last
80 days it has maintained the level of
about 80. per cent of normal operations.
This has brought factory employment
up to 81 per cent Of normal and wages
to 81 per cent, leaving wages, however,
still somewhat out of line.
Retail business has remained
about the same during this fue-
month industrial surge. operating
at about IS per cent OF normal.
The railroads are still tagging
around IS per cent OF normal, but
are showing improvement The
general price leuel has been mount
ing for fire months, but only be-
cause foods affected by the drought
Te soaking temporarily. Other
prices haze not shoUn much
change.
All this you may see by q glance
at the following chart. 1t contains
figures compiled by various Govern
ment and private agencies. brought up
to date by expert private estimates
for February.
Evening star., 1935-03-01

Each figure Except prices is based
on the l923-25 averages as 100. All
figures except pay rolls are adjusted
for seasonal variations so that they
accurately reflect where we stand
without regard to seasonal trends.
Industrials Easing Up.
Behind this bright picture is the
fact that certain industrial lines have
been easing up slightly during the last
two weeks of February. This is
noticeable particularly in steel, but
not in industry generally.
At the same time there has been a
renewal of private talk among busi-
ness men about uncertainty. This
time it is based on Congress. The in
def1niteness of N. r. A. reorganization,
the latest bank bill, the rail bills, the
holding company legislation and the
possibility of further tax proposals are
more or less responsible. This feeling
of uncertainty may not be entirely
justified, but it exists.
Whether it will have any important
effect on March and April business
involves guess on which competent
observers are divided.
Autos Leveling OF.
The reason steel dropped was be-
cause automobile production is leveling
of. Therein you have the best exam
pie of why it is difficult to gauge the
immediate prospects of industry.
Steel production reached a maxi
mum of SIS per cent three weeks
ago, but 1t will soon be back around
As per cent. Automobile production
increased by fewer than 500 cars for
the week ended February %. Yet
those inside the automobile trade will
tell you that production for the first
quarter Of the year will be around
100000 cars. 1t was 293 900 for
January, probably $50 900 for February
and need be only 350.000 for March to
approximate 100000 for the quarter.
After that, motor car output viii
depend entirely on sales. No one can
hazard even a good guess as to what
these will be.
The best indication that industry
generally is holding up weu lies
in electric poper consumption data.
1t has paried less than half a point
during the last Jour Ueeks. An
other hint of underlying strength
is the car loading figure. which has
been shouting slightly more than
seasonal Improvement lately.

BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Franklin Roosevelt Is entering upon
the last half Of his administration, Just
as confident and hopeful as he was
on that historic March 4, two years
ago. when he took office, despite the
obstacles and reverses he has en-
countered recently.
He has lost none Of his good ma
ture or his ability to joke and laugh
even when things are not breaking so
well. This side of the Presidents
nature Is void of sham. He is just as
ready with his laughter and story
telling behind the scenes as he Is In
public.
OF course, Mr.. Roosevelt has his
serious moments and many times
during his days of toll the smile fades
away, replaced by a frown, but this
is not for long. He is gifted with an
uncanny ability to cast of his wor-
ries and cares, and from all outward
appearances to have completely re-
moved from his mind anything Of a
depressing or serious nature. To those
who are close to him this character
istic Is one Of his greatest assets.
Condition Is Excellent.
Were 1t not for this ability to
transcend troublesome matters threat
ening to overwhelm him, he would
lack the splendid physical and mental
condition he retains today as he en-
ters the home stretch of his epoch
making term as Chief Executive.
Fortunately for one of his nature.
he Is surrounded by group Of init
mate associates who possess somewhat
the same characteristics Of "the boss"
Probably this is not a coincidence.
No doubt these men, who form the
presidential secretariat, were selected
because of this, as well as other quail
cations.
Although Lewis MeHenry Howe, the
principal secretary, is 10 years the
Presidents senior, and does not enjoy
robust health, he is gifted with rare
sense Of humor. His dry and keen
wit affords the President many a
hearty laugh in moments when there
might be cause to feel blue and de-
jected.
Col. Marvin Hunter Mcintyre, four
years the Presidents senior, and
Stephen T. Early, who is in his late
40s. these being the other two members
of the secretariat. are fun-loving and
ready with laugh.
1t is agreed by each in this inter-
esting little group that were 1t not
for their more jovial moods, they
scarcely could have endured the
strain this long.
President Inspires Aides.
Although everybody around the
White House has been working under
a strain. no one seems to mind. The
President sees to that. He knows how
to keep them, as we'll as himself, in a
good humor.
The work of the secretaries Is
heavier than ever before, the execu-
tive staff is more than twice as large
as was President Hoover's. and the
work of Rudolph Forster, the execu-
tive secretary, and that of Maurice
Latta, his assistant, has doubled. but
the President even has them smiling
as they toll -E-.' ..c--s .-,,rc:.. ST.
q The mail Is three times as great as
it was during the previous admins
tration, but Ira Smith, the chief Of
the mail division, can smile, as can
Capt. Clarence Ingling, head of the
file room. which has broken all White
House records.

President Sound Sleeper.

Mr.. Roosevelt has stood it all re-
markably well. The strain has left
few marks upon him. He may have
an extra wrinkle or two. A few more
gray hairs are noticeable. but If any
thing his bodily health is better today
than when he took over the reins OF
government. DR.. Ross McIntire, the
White House physician, who keeps a
constant eye on the President. said
only q few days ago that Mr.. Roose-
welt is in perfect health. Besides
having the faculty to jest under all
conditions, he has no trouble sleep
ing.
With him it is not a question Of
being able to sleep. but one of get
ting to bed Seldom. if ever, does
he turn in before IL O'Clock. Gen
orally it is near midnight, frequently
later. When his head hits the pillow
he begins his sleep and wakes up re-
freshed and rested.

BOBBY CANNON. former coach
Of the potent Corpus Christi Buc

the Edinburg Bobcats. starting IN

Bobby long has been a favorTte
with US since the days when we
watched him perform with Uncle
Billy Disch's u. Of II. baseball ag-
gregations. Here's wishing him q
lot OF luck with the Bobcats.
All Of this reminds us Of what
happened when Bobby left after
serving as coach OF the Mission
high Eagles.
One OF the Mission papers print
ed at great length a story extolling
the merits and accomplishments
OF the incoming coach. At the fag
end OF the yarn was a terSe para
graph for Bobby. III read:
Bobby Cannon, the departing
SHRDLU 49,"
1t was, Of course. that mysterious
pi line which creeps into print
from time TO time to the dismny
Of proof readers and delight OF
the subscribers.
WE CAN readily see that Bobby
has a burning ambition 70 upset
Corpus Christi's apple cart next
season. The BUGS have Charley
Haas back and should win the
district title in a cakewalk. But
you can bet your bottom dollar
that the Bobcats will play their
best game Of the season when they
tangle with the BUGS.
Cannon's situation In Corpus
Christi was not pleasant for the
past two years. The general public
gave Berry credit for producing the
rip-snorting Buc elevens. and was
inclined 70 minimize Bobby'S very
excellent work. That situation has
caused more than nj blow-up In
an athletic system. and IL was in
evitable that it would happen at
Corpus Christi.
