CAUCUS RULES
AGAINST PWA
EARMARKINC
Bloc Accuses House Lead.
ership Of Steam Roller
Tactics
WASHJNCTON Nav 3. UP)

WASHINGTON, May 8. (UP),
A Democratic caucus last night
defeated attempts of a rebellious
bloc to force "earmarking" OF
$700,000,000 of the 81 ,425, 000,.
900 relief appropriation for large
construction projects of the Pub
lie Works Administration.
The Democrats voted 10 to 63
to follow President Roosevelt's
suggestion that the entire fund be
turned over to Harry l.. Hopkins
for the small, cheaper projects of
his Works Progress Administers
ton.
After the caucus, the PWA bloc
accused the house leadership of
Steamer roller" tactics in refus-
ing to consider an amendment to
their resolution seeking $780,
100000 instead of the $700,O00,-
900 asked originally.
Rep. Alfred F. Better, D. N. Y,
leader of the ear-marking bloc,
said the fight would be renewed
with an amendment to be offered
on the house floor, and predicted
success with the help Of Repub-
licans.
Beither said the amendment
probably would call for earmark-
ing $350,O00,O00, adding that the
"steam roller" tactics Of the lead
ership probably would win votes
for his bloc. The amendment wss
ruled out of order at the caucus
by Rep. Prentiss NJ. Brown, D..
Mich, presiding, on the ground
that the caucus had been called
only for consideration of the
$700,O0O,O00 figure.
The relief appropriation was
contained in the New Deals last
major bill of the session which
was started through the house to-
day. Its introduction brought to
a head the bitter "earmarking''
fight and the opposition Of Repub-
leans to the administrations re.
lief plans.

naval TREATY.
IS READY FOR.
RATIFICATION.
President Will Send Pact
to Senate Next Week,
He Indicates
HAS NEW APPROACH i
TO HELP J0BLESS

WASHINGTON, May s. (UP).
President Roosevelt indicated to-
day that he would send the re-
Gently negotiated London naval
treaty to the senate for ratifica-
ton next week. The treaty, sign
ed by Great Britain, the United
States and France will replace the
London treaty of 1880, which en-
pires at the end Of this year. The
present treaty doesn't limit the
number of ships the nations may
build, except 10 thousand ton
cruisers, but limits the size of gun
calibre of the ships.
Roosevelt today outlined a new
approach to the nations unem-
pioyment problem involving ex-
pansion of certain industries
which appear suited for extensive
development. 1t was revealed that
he had discussed the possibility
with q number of leading indus
trialists, including Walter +;
Chrysler, motor magnate, and
owen D. Young, general Electric
chairman. Suggested as two IN
dustrial expansion possibilities
were the railroad equipment in
dustry and housing constructions
The president expressed the ltoF :
that by expansion a substantial
number of idle could be removed
from government work relief rolls
and placed in private industry
permanently.

House Group Disregards
DR.. Morgan's Plans
at FOntana
WASHINGTON. May 8. (UP)

WASHINGTON. May 8. (UP).
The first Tennessee Valley Au-
thority development in North
Carolina will be on the Hiawassee
river near Murphy rather than on
the Little Tennessee near Fon-
tana, according to the appropria-
ton from the house appropria-
tons committee.
The deficiency appropriation
bill reported to the house con-
tains an appropriation of $685.
22S for work on the Hiawassee
dam during the next fiscal year,
and disregards the recommended
ton of DR.. H A. Morgan, chair
man of the IVA, that the first
development in this state be at
Fontana.
The Hiawassee development is
estimated to cost $15,250,000. 1t
will have a gross storage of 44O,-
900 acre feet, will be 300 feet
high and 1880 feet long. The
dam will be constructed so as to
allow installation of power gener-
ators at later date and will be
capable of producing from 80 to
100 thousand kilowats.
In his recommendation, Chair
man Morgan urged that the Fon-
tana development be started first,
provided an agreement could be
reached between the Aluminium
Company of America.
Rep. Zebulon Weaver, of Ashe-
vile. and E. B. Norvell and c. D.
Mayfield of Murphy, appeared be-
fore the committee in connection
with the Hiawassee development.
