Fergusonism Issue
Faces Quick Death,
Legislators Think

In behalf OF Representative r. w.
Calvert OF Hillsboro against Rep
resentative Coke r. Stevenson OF
Junction would have an adverse
effect on Allred's administration
and would endanger passage OF
much OF the legislation he viii
sponsor. Stevenson's victory In.
creased this fear In certain quar-
tiers.
AS the smoke OF battle cleared
away, however, both Stevenson's
and Calvert's leaders discounted
rumors OF permanent discord and
dissension and said they expected
the animoSity to die completely be-
fore the session starts consideration
OF important administration legis-
lation.
Representative w. Z. Clayton of
FL Paso who stood by Stevenson in
the hectic contest. said he expected
harmony would prevail between
the legislature and the executive
office. Clayton supported Alfred
during the primary campaigns.
Clayton's views were reiterated by
others In Stevenson's camp.
There was no issue In the speak
ership campaign except the false
issue of 'Fergusonism'," Repre-
sentative w. E. Pope Of Corpus
Christi asserted. He referred TO
former Governor James E. Fergu-
son. who favored Stevenson. Stew
enson's election will not have any
effect at all"
Representative Harold Beck OF
Texarkana, one OF Calvert's cam
paign managers. said much OF the
feeling subsidized within a few hours
of the election with the exception
Of a few Idle hards."
The feeling Is less today" he
said. 1T will be less tomorrow and
grow still weaker the day after. BY
the time the legislature gets into
the thick Of things 1t viii have
disappeared entirely"
Representative Frank A. Wood OF
Nocona. who voted for Allred's can
didate, said Stevenson was too big
a man TO harbor a long standing
grudge," while Representative Tom
Cooper OF Lindale, another OF Cal
vert's supporters, said he expected
the session TO be both harmonious
and productive with Allred's plans
supported by a working majority in
the house.

SPLITS JUDGES

WASHINGTON. Jan. l0.-tR)-
Moving toward . judgment on .
paramount New Deal policy. the
Supreme Court received more con-
flicting views Thursday on the
legality of the abrogation OF gold
payments.
While the tribunal prepared TO
hear final arguments In five cases
challenging the act. observers gain
ed the impression there was q sharp
division OF opinion among the nine
justices.
Opponents OF the legislation are
~disputing the right OF congress 70
nullify the gold clause" in bonds
and other securities. This clause
provided for payment In gold or It's
equivalent" and the five complain
ants demand TO be reimbursed on
that basis.
Acknowledgement Cummings. hav-
ing in mind the existence Of some
100 billion dollars worth Of such
securities, told the court Wedpes-
day that chaos would result II 1t
invalidated the gold payment sus-
pension act.
He asked the court not TO handi-
cap the government in future
moves for International currency
sterilization, declaring the time
will come when the United States
will be in conference with the 9TH
er nations OF the earth with a view
TO stabilizing the currency and
fixing standards"
At the White House, however,
the president indicated later that
this country was planning no i'm
mediate step IN that direction.
