WORK Of REVISING
/. D. c. BILL STARTED
Restoration of Items Cut by
House Expected From
Committee.
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

The Senate Subcommittee on Dis
trict Appropriation today began the
task of revising the 1887 local supply
bill to restore many of the reductions
made by the House in essential main
tenance items, and to apportion the
total on q fairer basis as between the
Federal Government and the local
community.
With Chairman Thomas presiding
the subcommittee went into executive
session at 10 O'Clock to decide on the
changes it will recommend to the
entire Appropriations Committee.
The subcommittee took a recess
from noon until o'clock, with in
dications it will take the rest Of to-
day and possibly tomorrow to COM
plete action on various changes. No
announcement was made of the items
that were passed on this morning
The action of the House in cutting
the Federal lump sum share of the
bill to $2.700,000, a reduction Of So
100000. and at the same time raising
the total of the bill to 42,573,283. a
net increase of ssO8.0oo above the
budget total, would leave the District
facing a large deficit. next year if the
bill remained In this form.
Percentage Basis Cited.
Stated on a percentage basis, the
House bill would require the District
to provide all but about per cent
of the cost of maintaining the Capital
City next year.
All indications, however, point to
restoration by the Senate subcommit-
tee of the Budget Bureau recommen-
dation for continuation of the present
Federal payment Of $5,70o,000. Al
though the House boosted the Budget
Bureaus total by including several
new construction projects. it reduced
at the same time many maintenance
appropriations, by an aggregate
amount of $697 900. Included in these
cuts were public health and hospital
items, which were not regarded by
local agencies as ample before the
House made the cuts.
$43,000,O00 Total Likely.
The Senate group probably will leave
in the bill the construction projects
the House originated, and restore a
considerable number OF the mainte-
nance funds the House deleted. In
that event, the Senate measure will
total more than $43 100000. The
aim of the Senate group Will be to
work out balanced budget that would
not require new taxes.
The bill is likely to be reported to
the Senate within a few days. After
it passes the Senate it will 60 to
conference for agreement on differ
ences between the House and Senate
provisions.

Ordinarily labor leaders would be

signed statement from Mr.. Hopkins.
Even then they might not be entirely
confident.

ANTI-ROOSEvELT
DRIVE STOPPED,
SURVEY SHOWS
Movement May Be Revived
After Conventions This
Summer.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press STAFF Cnrresnnndent

WASHINGTON, May %. The
pre-convention campaign to pre-
vent President Roosevelts nomina-
ton has collapsed gradually but
completely, an examination of the
State-by-state record showed today.
The extent to which it demonstrated
a slump in Roosevelt popularity is
disputed
The stop Roosevelt movement
tentatively organized by Alfred e.
Smith, former Gov. Joseph B. Ely
of Massachusetts,, the late Albert G.
Richie of Maryland and former
Senator James A. Reed of Missouri
ceased to function more than a
month ago. The movement may be
revived after the nominating con-
ventions.
Most Of those leaders met in
Smiths skyscraper office in April
and decided it was not possible to
fight in national nominating con-
vention packed with office holders
and controlled by the New Deal Ad-
miniStration.
Ely Gives Up Race
Ely, having publicly promised to
oppose Mr.. Roosevelt in the April
Massachusetts presidential primary,
gave up, explaining he could not
successfully buck the New Deal in
a primary contest.
Col. Henry Breckenridge, po-
litical unknown except for ''little
cabinet" service in the Wilson Ad-
miniStration, made the most vigor-
GUS pre-convention attack on Mr..
Roosevelt. Breckenridge entered
four preference primaries and in
three of them was directly opposed
by Mr.. Roosevelt.
The President defeated Breckin-
ridge approximately is to l in Ohio,
Is to l in Pennsylvania and to /
in Maryland. In those three states
and in New Jersey, where Mr.
Roosevelt was not enteredN in the
preferential primary, Breckenridge
accumulated approximately 100000
votes which were direct and en-
phatic Democratic protests against
the Roosevelt Administration. In
Ohio, Maryland and Pennsylvania,
Mr.. Roosevelt's aggregate was ap-
proximately 100000.
Breckenridge demonstrated a de-
lection of better than one voter of
each 10 among Democrats who par
ticipated in these primaries. If that
ratio reflects feeling among Demo-
Gratis generally it might be enough
to defeat the New Deal in November.

EmiSSaries of the Governor ap-

of Idaho, who is leading the anvil
chorus against the wheat belt can
oidate, with offers to help write the
platform and were somewhat taken
aback, it is reported, by the Sena-
tors prompt refusal to participate
on that basis.
The Senator considers himself a
candidate in his own right and
would write his own platform.
There also was talk of Senator
Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan, the
leading dark horse" candidate, as
a running mate for Gov. Landon.
The Senator insists that he is not a
candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation and how, says he, can he be
candidate for the vice presidential
nomination?
The answer of the practical poll
tician is:
Just as lots of others were pub
licly neither and yet would welcome
either"
Might Accept Second Place
There are those who say that the
Michigan Senator would accept
second place on the ticket.
Just now Senator Vandenberg is
none too friendly toward the Lam
don candidacy, contributing in the
al L r. he 7
club. which has several other men,
berS, including his colleague, Sena-
tor James CouzenS, and Senator
Borah.
But such preconvention grumbling
is not always lasting.
1t may be recalled how the late
Vice President Charles Curtis, who
was seeking the presidential nominal
ton in 1928, dashed off his feelings
about Herbert Hoover in a biting
statement and then, with a slightly
sheepish expression on his face,
stood before the delegates who had
read his statement and accepted
second place.
TWO Refused Chances
Mr.. Vandenberg has not put any
thing down in writing yet.
Two gentlemen walk today about
the senate who turned down the
vice presidential nomination. One
is Senator Borah who, it may be
remembered, was called in from his

progress at Cleveland, offered a
place on the ticket.
Which end?" the Idaho senator
is reported to have asked to stop
that movement.
The other is Senator Hiram John
son of California who turned down
a chance to run with Warren G..
Harding in 1920 and, as it turned
out, a chance to be President.
Senator Johnson goes cheerfully
about his business today. Being a
supporter of President Roosevelt
and having no part in national Re-
publican politics, he seems to enjoy
the antics of his ambitious COL
leagues.
Goodness Is Reported
But the California Senator's ex-
perience stands out as reminder
to any who may get an offer.
Another development in these
days of pre-convention friction and
diSsension is a growing GOODNESS of
Senator Borah toward Senator Van
denberg, previously regarded as the
Idaho Senator's choice if he, him.
self, could not win the nominal
ton. Senator Borah is reported to
feel that Senator Vandenberg is not
contributing as he should to a
movement to check the Kansas
Governors nomination. and is dis
pleased by the rumors that the
Michigan Senator might take second
place on the ticket.
