LEADERS Will
ASK IT Be Held
TO ESSENTIALS
Rebellious, Unmanageable
Congress Reason for
New Step
PRESIDENT DUE In
CAPITAL TUESDAY

WASHINGTON, April 8. (UP).
Important parts of the Roosevelt
legislation program may have to
be dropped on account of a rebel
lious and unmanageable congress,
it was announced today. Leaders
plan to ask the president to trim
his program to the bare essentials
when he returns to the capital
tomorrow.
Congress has given the admin
istration $4,000,000,000 to put
100000 unemployed to work.
and Relief Administrator Harry
L. Hopkins, to whom falls share
of that tremendous task, thinks
it can be done in one year if the
money is spent in that time.
The principle underlying the
huge fund-jobs instead of
dole-represents a policy that
tall, rangy, blunt-spoken Hopkins
holds vital. In it's administration
the new deal probably is making
its last stand against the dole,
favored by conservative congress-
men and by bushes men repre-
scented at the White Sulphur
Springs, Va, conference last fall.
The fact that England is on
the dole, that recently the British
treasury showed a surplus, and
that England is farther out Of
the depression than any Euro
pean country is one argument
conservatives are using to put
pressure on Hopkins.
At present the United States
spends about two-thirds of its re-
lief money to create jobs and
one-third to provide cash relief.
The latter form is cheaper, but
Hopkins and others feel that the
unemployed mans self-respect
must be taken into consideration.
The present average work re-
lief wage is $3.50 a month;
under the new fund the admins
tration plans a $50 average. The
average dole is $34.50. The
$880,000,000 direct relief appro-
priation attached to the fund will
last about four months.
Having rid itself of a 75-day
headache over relief, congress is
ready to pass on to eliminating
war profits and providing social
security. The house probably will
pass the McSwain war profits bill
tomorrow and send it to the sem
ate. Later in the week it will take
up social security.
The house stayed in session
Saturday to pass the McSwain
bill, but after an unruly session
in which several amendments
were inserted, absence Of many
members from the floor caused
the leaders to postpone the vote
until today.

WASHINGTON, April 8. (UP)
The men charged with the duty
of defending American soil have
five deadly weapons which they
can add to Americas arsena
when and if war comes again.
Debate in congress on ways
-, and means of taking the profit
out of war has not interferred
with the unceasing search of the
army and navy for more effective
engines of destruction.
The development has extended
to all arms of the fighting force
land, sea and ar. Some of the
weapons still are in the stage
where their development is being
closely guarded, but others have
been perfected to the point where
it is possible to describe them in
detail.
The proudest achievement of
the army is a new tank. 1t can
go racing across open fields at a
speed ranging between so and 60
miles an hour. Comparatively
small in size, it gains effective
ness because of The fact that it
can skim hedges, gullies and all
other natural obstacles.
1t virtually eliminates cavalry
from the scheme of war. Safe
behind thick armored plates, two
men can deal out wide destruc-
ton from this tank. This new in
strument of war has passed be-
yond a theory and is fact. Fac
tories already are turning out the
new tanks and the army probably
will have 60 of them before the
end of the year.
Eventually the army hopes to
take two of it's new weapons and
combine them. Heretofore tanks
have been armed with machine
guns. The new theory is to re-
place the machine guns with a
deadlier weapon that comes I'M
der the general classification OF
cannon.
The one-pound cannon which
the army now has are fed by
hand. That slows down the rate
of fire. So experts have turned
their ingenuity to the perfection
of a cannon that can be fed by
mechanical means. They have
lust about succeeded. The new
weapon will be able to fire loo
shots a minute, which makes II
almost a machine gun except that
instead of firing small bullets II
spouts destructive shells. The
next step will be to install the
one-pounds in the new tanks, CIV
ing the united states a Gland bat
tleship" that easily could turf
the tide of battle under present
fighting conditions. -,
Much of the next war will bt
fought in the air, and the army
has devoted considerable atten
ton to anti-aircraft guns.
They have come out with Wha
lis called "stratosphere gun.
It is a variation of the famous
French rs, which was one of tn
most effective weapons the allie
had in the last war. By pointing
