Revision of the automobile
code, to eliminate what some
MIRA officials have declared to be
abuses of labor throughout the
industry, appeared unlikely to-
day, with President Roosevelt
ignoring yelled suggestions from
NRA that he rewrite the code
before next June Is.
MIRA officials had indicated the
Presidents only reason for ignor-
ing their charges and remedying
recommendations when he extend
ed the code last week was to avoid
fight with the industry until
the new NRA legislation is passed.
This, they felt, would give the
President wider powers to impose
labor betterment rules upon the
manufacturers which he would not
hesitate to use.
Little Change in NRA
AS against this, it previously
had been pointed out by White
House conferees that the new
NRA legislation would not greatly
alter the existing recovery setup
or give him additional authority
he does not now possess. Too, it
was stressed, he now possesses au-

PWA OFFICIALS
THREATENED IN
CRAFT CASE
0iSmisSaIs Seen Sure Result
of Probe; Dozen IndiCt-
mentS to Be Asked

A casual hint that other Pub
lie Works Administration Off
Gals might be dismissed as a
result of the special Federal
Grand Jury probe into alleged
graft on 100000 canal prof.
ect in Texas was dropped by a
PWA official today.
Yesterday it was disclosed that
Administrator Harold L. Ickes
had suspended Major Charles R,
Oldberg, chief of the irrigation
division of PWA, who had played
a prominent role in the Texas
development. No specific charges
were made against him by Mr..
Ickes, but it was announced that
he had been given five days to
answer charges. This he did
not do.
All Up to Grand Jury
The hint today came when
newspaper men sought to press
PWA officials for further details
of the Oldberg dismissal. An ad-
ministrative assistant to Mr.. Ickes
said:
I'VE are not giving out any
Information. 1t will all come
from the Grand Jury. And
that will be a good thing to re-
member when other questions
like this come up. The Grand
Jury is handling the matter
and we don't want to offer any
comment"
More Indictments Coming
1t is known that indictments
will be asked against nearly
dozen persons in connection with
the alleged fraud and. although
investigators on the case have in.
sisted that no officials of the Pub
lie Works Administration were
under suspicion. the suspension of
Major Oldberg has served to dis
credit the statement.
Administrator Ickes had con-
stantly refused to deny the reports
that some of his employees were in
Volved. 1t was investigators in his
department who uncovered the al
legged irregularities on the Texas
project and, after he had viewed
their reports, he instructed them
to turn their data over to the De-
partment of Justice for action.

NOTE

Senator Plans to Take
Proposal to Senate
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

A new battle over expanding
the currency was assured today
when Senator Wheeler CD of
Montana announced he would ask
the Senate to authorize the issue
of four billion dollars in Treasury
notes to finance President RooSe.
Helt's work relief program
The Wheeler proposal was beat.
en- in the Senate Appropriations
Committee without a record roll
call. He declared it would effect
a saving of from 120 million dol
lars to 100 million dollars year
by substituting noninterest bear
ing Treasury notes for the usual
Government interest bearing bonds
otherwise required to finance the
program.
He declared the notes were as
safe as bonds, since both had no
other backing than the faith and
Credit of the Government.
Other Issues Involved
The currency issue was but one

Senate must decide before q fl.
nal vote on the Presidents bill.
The other issues involved pay
ment of prevailing wage scales"
on proposed Government relief
projects and the substitution of
$2,880, 100000 dole plan for the
whole work program.
Contests in the Senate Appro-
priations Committee over these
issues developed ever-changing
coalitions. Senator Carter Glass
(DO of Virginia, long a foe of
the Presidents banking policies,
supported the Administration in
fighting the prevailing wage limi-
tation and the Wheeler currency
plan. On the other hand, he led
the revolt against the whole work
program and supported the dole
substitute.
A telephone conference between
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Glass add
ed drama to the contest. Mr..
Glass declined to reveal the con.
versation.
It was believed the President
sought Mr.. Glass aid, fearing his
influence in the Senate night re-
suit in abandonment of the whole
work program.
Glass ASSailS Plan
Mr.. Glass, in committee, char
acterized the four billion-dollar
plan as wasteful and extravagant.
He went so far as to charge the
issuing of four billion dollars
more of Federal bonds would i'm
peril the Governments credit.
The American Fedc alton of
Labor, meanwhile, rallied it's sup
porters in the Senate to retain
the prevailing wage level" limi-
tation in the bill. Labor spokes-
men charged it's elimination would
result in the Government launch
ing a "pauper wage" campaign
throughout the nation and lead
to general slashing of wages in
every competing industry.
The Budget Bureau defended
the proposed Subsistence wage"
OF $50 a month, planned by the
President. 1t informed the Senate
that payment of existing wages
would slash the four billion dollar
program from full years work
to seven and one-half months
work for 100000 men, or slash
the number of workers from g..
