TO PUNISH
INTIMIDATION
0FV0TERS
Jail for Threatening
Loss Of Jobs to
Workers, Aim
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL
international. News Service

A measure which would make
political use of the Works Progress
Administration a penitentiary Of
Tense and bar employer intimida-
ton in political campaigns was
framed by a House Judiciary sub
committee today.
The proposal is a compromise
between q Senate bill which,
critics said, might have driven
employers out # politics, and .
counter bill striking at alleged
political intimidation by officials
Of the Roosevelt administration.
Text Of Proposal
The substitute proposal says:
at shall be unlawful for any
employer, or agent Of any en-
plOyer Of labor, or corporation,
or any officer or agent Of the
Government Of the United
States to influence or attempt
to influence, through fear or
intimidation, the vote Of any
emplOye under his or its direc-
tiOn and control, either verbally
or by notice enclosed in the
mails or In payrOlls, or by post
erS, placards or handbiIIS posted
or placed In or near the place
Of employment Of such voter,
stating that IL any certain candi-
date for President, Vice Presi-
dent, Presidential eIectOr, or .
Senator or Representative, or
delegate or resident commits
siOner to Congress Of the United
States, shall be elected or de-
feated, such voters employment
will cease in whole or in part"
The penalty for violation is
fixed at q fine Of not less than
$1,000, or Imprisonment of not
over one year, or both.
Senate Bill Feared
The original Senate bill, some
House critics said, would have
prevented an employer from max.
ing speech saying that his indus
try would suffer. q blow by the
election Of a political party. Some
members sheld that it could be
CONSTRUED to prevent employers
from contributing to the Ameri-
can Liberty League in a political
campaign.
The provision applying to Gov
eminent officers grew out of
charges that officials have
threatened relief workers with loss
Of their jobs If they didn't vote
right"

Leaders Insist u. S.
Pay Whole Bill, In
Spite of Veto Threat
international News Service

A delegation Of several hun
dred flood control advocates from
mid-Atlantic and New England
States today roared to Congress
q demand that the Federal Gov.
eminent bear virtually all the
burden Of flood control-while
one Senator warned tina President
Roosevelt would veto such a bill.
The pending 360-million-dollar
omnibus flood control bill calls
for State participation to the
amount of about 100 million dol
lars and a number of Senators
served notice they would seek to
amend it to make the Govern
ment pay all the bill.
Veto Held Sure
Against this united demand,
Senator Copeland CD of New
York, chairman of the Senate
Commerce Committee handling
the bill, issued the warning that
if the measure. was so amended.
the President would not give it his
approval.
Several hundred delegations Of
civic leaders and members of or
gained flood-control units con.
verged here for today's explosive
meeting, which took complete con-
troll of the big caucus room in the
Senate Office Building and over.
flowed int0 the halls
The flood-control bill is slated
for favorable action this week,
barring fight over the State par
ticipation provision which may
prolong things.
COpeland's Warning
Copeland's warning to the dele
gates was unmistakable:
"There will be an attempt on
the floor to have the Govern.
ment pay all the costs. But it
is my opinion that if this at
tempt is successful, the President
will quickly veto the bill.
II don't think it right Ito
load all the cost on Uncle SAM
and 1 don't think you will get .
bill unless we pass it SubStan-
italy in its present form"
He added that he believed most
of the States were willing to pay
their share, and called upon the
Government to establish a perma-
nent flood-control policy.

H0EPPEL CASE
SENTENCES
UPHELD
Decides Father,
Son Must Serve
Prison Terms

Representative John H. Hoeppel
CD Of California, and his son,
Charles j. Hoeppel, must serve
from four to IL months in prison
for conspiring to solicit the sale
of q West Point appointment, the
United States Court Of Appeals
for the District Of Columbia ruled
today.
The father and son were con.
victed by District Supreme Court
jury several months ago and ap-
pealed their sentences on grounds
that the statute under which they
were convicted did not cover the
offenSe charged against them.
Refused Payment
The indictment accused them Of
conspiring to sell an appointment
to the Military Academy to James
W. Ives, young Baltimore Olympic
athletic for $1,000. According to
evidence presented at their trial,
the younger Hoeppel arranged the
sale of the appointment, using the
alias Of Charles J. Alexander.
Young Ives gave q promiSSory
note for the $1,000, it was teSti-
fled, and when he learned that
the appointment Representative
Hoeppel had obtained for him
was unlawful, he withdrew his
application and refused payment
Of the note.
To Dismiss Indictment
Assistant United States Attor-
neys David A. Pine and Samuel
F. Beach, who conducted the
prosecution, announced they will
Immediately dismiss another in
dictment against the pair charg-
ing them with the substantive
crime alleged in the conspiracy
indictment.
Last week Representative Hoop
pei demanded an immediate trial
or dismissal of the indictment,
saying that he is in the midst Of
a campaign for reelection in his
home State and that the indict-
ment placed him at a disadvan-
tage. Justice Daniel w. O'Dono-
ghue refused to comply with his
demand.

situation in Austria remained con-
fused today as Chancellor Kurt
Schuschnigg faced difficulties In
maintaining his position without
and of the Fascist Heimwehr.
Adding to the complications was
the action of Baar BaarenfelS, who
supplanted Starhemberg as vice
chancellor, in assuring the prince
of loyalty and unconditional obedi.
ence Of all Heimwehr men.
Report UncOnfirmed
Vienna was startled by uncon-
firmed rumors that Premier Mus
solini has been won over by Star
hemberg and that u Duce has
promised increased support and
assistance to the young prince.
These rumors, however. were Ut
terly without confirmation, and
appeared unlikely in view Of other
adviceS from Rome that Musso-
lini had turned thumbs down on
Starhemberg'S plans, advising the
prince, in effect, to go easy. II
Duce, furthermore, sent a message
to SchuSchnigg stating the Rome
protocol (upholding Austrian indie
pendence) would be respected by
Italy.

opinion based on the contention
that the court had no right to
pass upon the constitutional
questions since the appeal was
based upon a plea for a tempo
rary Injunction.
Deprives Town Of Taxes
Justice Van Orsdell reviewed
in detail the various claims Of
the Township Of Franklin that
the model community would de-
prive the township Of q large
proportion Of it's taxable real
estate and at the same time
would impose additional burdens
upon the taxpayers who would
be required to furnish additional
fire and police protection and
extend it's educational facilities
for the more than 1000 persons
who would be brought into town
under the Resettlement project.
The opinion then passed to the
constitutional question. Justice
Van OrSdell said:
Turning now to the Emery.
ency Relief Appropriation Act Of
1885, and examining it in the
light of the principles laid down
in the (Supreme Court de-
CisiOns In the Panama and
Schechter cases, it appears that,
insofar as this case is con-
Cerned, there is . clearly uncOn-
stitutional delegation Of legisla-
tive power.
'There is nothing in the act
directly prescribing the powers
or duties Of the President with
respect to housing. Assuming
that 1t may be inferred from
the act that the funds are to be
used by the President, yet there
Is nothing requiring their use,
either absolutely or in any speci-
fled conditions or circum-
stance. He is free to use them
or not as he sees fit"
It is pointed out in the opinion
that the act establishes no stand
ard to guide the President and
merely specifies generally that q
certain portion of the funds may
be extended for housing prof.
ects.''
Act Ambiguous
Scoring the ambiguity of the
act, the opinion uses language in
the famous Schechter case that
the President is virtually unfet,
tered in the authority he may
delegate under the act. In this
connection. the court said:
considering what is here at
tempted to be accomplished, in
the light of the provisions Of the
act, we repeat the significant
words Of Mr.. Justice CardOza in
his comforting opinion in the
ScheChter case: This Is delega-
ton running Wild
"In what we have said, we do
mot lose sight of our duty to
