FDR MAY TURN TO
RIGHT NEXT YEAR
Hunch Is He Will Build for
Permanency After the
Election
By CHARLES p. STEWART

Washington, April 13-Assuming,
for the sake of argument, that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be reelected next
November, one hears a deal of won
dering as to what his second TERMS
policies will be like.
His current one is what may be de-
scribed as an emergency term.
He entered on it with the admis-
sion that he probably would have to
undertake q considerable number of
experiments, and we've had them.
Next, it would seem that. having
learned by experience, his aim will
be to put permanency into the New
Deal.
Besides, if reelected, he presumably
will not count on being reelected, and
consequently will be freer to work for
what he sincerely thinks best than
during his initial White House ten
ancy. In other words, politicians take
it for granted that, being human, he
has been more or less influenced thus
far by considerations of his personal
1896 chances, but that, once reelected,
he will feel at liberty to proceed as
he sees fit.
GO TO RIGHT?
Perhaps it is altogether q wrong
guess, but there is an unmistakable
idea among conservatives that he will
turn their way, given four more years
in the executive mansion.
I cannot ascertain that it Is any,
thing more than "hunch.''
Nevertheless, I have talked with not
a few legislators and others in pretty
close touch with such centers as Wall
Street, and there is general agreement
among them that the financial dis
trict thinks more favorably of "F. D."
than it did.
Maybe that is natural, business I'M

College agricultural extension special
lists and district agents who have had
the meetings in charge report heavy

"It has not been uncommon to have

Dean I. o. Schaub, yesterday. "At one
of the meetings which I attended last

Raleigh April 13.-Dr. Ralph w.
Mcdonald has apparently abandoned
his plan for a whirlwind campaign of
the State with a sound truck in favor
of an intensive radio speaking cam
paign the last two weeks before the
primary, since he has already made
contracts with Station WPTF here
for Is radio speeches to be delivered
between May % and June 6, it was
learned from an authoritative source
here today and verified by the radio
station. These 13 speeches will not on
ly be broadcast from WPTF but from
as many of the other radio stations
as are available, it was learned.
Twelve of the 13 radio speeches will
be delivered on successive nights from
May % to May 5, with the exception
of Sunday nights, from 10 to 1915 D.
m, and the thirteenth speech will be
delivered the night before the primary
from 10 TO 1920.
$3.50 Per Speech.
The cost of these speeches will be
approximately $3.50 for each fifteen
minute period and about $500 for the
30 minutes the night before the pri-
mary, but may run even more, de-
pending upon the number of stations
in the Statewide hook-up, according
to those familiar with the cost of
radio time and hook-ups in the State,
although the radio station declined to
reveal just how much was being paid
for this time. Accordingly, it is esti-
mated that these Is radio speeches

Washington, April 13.-(AP)-Presi-
Dental insistence upon a tax bill pro-

Roosevelt's estimates of Federal
money requirements was forecast to-
day by Speaker Byrns.
Just what form the presidential in
sistence might take the speaker did
not say. Nor did he make any men
ton of what might be done in the
House to bring the tax bill up to the
total sought by Mr.. Roosevelt-$792,-
100000 over each of the first three
years and $500 OOO, 900 thereafter.
"I think the President is going to
insist on having enough revenue" he
said. II don't know what the bill will
fall short. I look on that with some
doubt"
His remarks were in reply to ques-
tions at his press conference on the
possibility that the bill being drafted
by the ways and means committee
might produce 345, 100000 less over the
first three years than the administra-
ton wants. The committee had re-
ected the Presidents suggestion that
process taxes be levied
The speaker said he did not expect
the bill to come before the House ear
lier than a week from "Wednesday and
that it should take no more than q
week to pass. He predicted it would
go through precisely" as reported out
by the ways and means committee.

But export of American products, at
