LEADERS
SEEK TO BREAK Up
LEGISLATIVE SNAGS
Speed Needed on Presidents
Measures II Slate Is to Be
Cleared by Summer

Washington, April 29.-(P,-After
looking at the measures which Presi-
dent Roosevelt wants passed. Demo-
cratic leaders in congress Monday
sought more speed-something which
Is considered highly necessary If the
legislators are to get "out of the
trenches before the dog days.
The first conundrum to which they
applied themselves was the filibuster
in the senate over the Wagner Cost
gan anti-lynch bill.
They had to break up this impasse
to get to the Harrison compromise
on the bonus and then 80 on to the
big bills mentioned by the president.
Already there were reports that the
president was getting impatient over
the senate's slow progress.
Senator Robinson, Democratic
leader, sought to determine Monday
whether there are enough votes to
put the Costigan- Wagner bill aside.
Twice already. attempts to sidetrack
it have been beaten. It's foes, head
ed by Senator Bailey Dem. N. O.
said they would fight till the last.
As for the house Of representatives,
it Is just starting Is hours Of debats
on the omnibus banking bill. OPP
ponents of this are training their
fire on provisions that would increase
Washington's sway over the nations
credit. It Is one Of the measures the
president advocated In his speech
Sunday night.
Another is the social security bill.
This already has passed the house
but more weeks Of discussion may be
in store before 1t gets through the
senate.
The president also wants the MIRA
revised and extended. This recalls
that a proposal has been heard In
congress to extend 1t unchanged until
the supreme court can rule on Its
constitutionality. Chairman Harrt-
son ID. Miss.) plans to get Mr..
Roosevelts reaction to this as soon
as possible,

British foreign secretary. told the
house Of commons Monday: THE Ger
man government has intimated that
orders have been given for the con-
struction Of IL submarines Of $50 tons
each. This matter now Is under con-
sideration."
Although Sir John did not amplify
this statement, 1t was definitely stated
in other quartere that the German
construction was understood to have
been under way for some time.
Leading cabinet members began an
informal study Of the question Of Ger

submarines and arranged for in,ned-
late consultations with France and
Italy as new secrets Of the German
naval program were learned.
Plan Immediate Expansion
Reports reaching informed quarters
here from Berlin said that Germany
was planning the immediate expan-
sion of her fleet with the initial con-
struction Of:
Five to eight battleships Of 5000
tons:
Six battle cruisers:
Twenty-Five TO 10 large and small
cruisers:
Fifty to u destroyers;
Forty to 50 small submarines;
Several aircraft-carriers.
It was said In these quarters that
Hitler's program was somewhat vague
