 PrOgressiveS AIoOf
 Washington, June 18-(UP) - Congressional progressives held aloof or offered only conditional support today for the third party alliance proposed by Father Charles E. Coughlin. Few in Congress be- lieved the coalition proposed by the Detroit priest would offer a serious threat to presidential aspirations of either democrats or republicans. Coughlins promise to reveal the name of his presidential candidate tomorrow created more curiosity than interest. His claim of 25,- 100000 votes was not taken serious ly by most congressman.
 Western progressives- ea- ger for strong third party move. i1lent-expressed doubt that Q pro- posed merger of Coughlin's Union for Social Justice, Dr. Francis E. Townsends old age pension group and the remnants of Huey P. Long's share-the.wealth faction would "go through" These progressives, with out committing themselves on such a movement, pointed to fundanien- tai differences in programs of the three groups as basis for their doubts that followers of the trio could unite on a platform.

 Washington, June ls.-(UP)- Senate legislative activities were overshAdoWed today by speculation on whether Sen. Carter Glass, d., Va, will accept chair1manship of the powerful banking and currency com mittee vacated by death of sena- tor Duncan U. Fletcher, d., Fla.
 The consensus was that the pep- pery Virginian, vigorous foe of New Deal banking policies, would take the post and give up his chairman ship of the appropriations commit tee to Sen. Kenneth D. McKellar, d., Tenn.
 T haven't decided yet" Glass said, But one of his closet friends said: "1t's almost a foregone con- clusion that he'll accept it."
 Glass, former secretary of treas- ury, refused to go along with Presi- dent Roosevelt on legislation pro- posing devaluation of the dollar and abandonment of the gold standard. He also opposed Mariner 8. Eccles as governor of the Federal Reserve Board. Glass remained a welcome White House visitor, however, and MT. Roosevelt affectionately referred to him as the ''ulnreconstructed rebel".
