NORMAL FARM AID
LOAN HELD MILLION
Figure Quoted by TugWe|I in
Urging Permanent Reset
tIement Plan.
Nv the Associated Press.

9y the ASSOClaleu FTeSS.
Saying governmental assistance
would be necessary normally" for
about 1000, 900 farm families of low
income, Rexford G. Tugwell expressed
hope yesterday that his Resettlement
Administration would become regu-
lar part of the Agriculture Depart
ment.
Tugwell is Undersecretary of Agri-
culture as we'll as chief of the resettle-
ment agency, which was set up by
President Roosevelt to act until next
June 80 and which so far has spent
o total estimated by its oficials at
$174,000,000.
In an interview. the resettlement
chief said he had not asked "perma-
nent status" for the Resettlement
Administration because he thought it
functioned best as a flexible emer-
gency agency.
If made a part of the Agriculture
Department, he added, it would be
comparable in status to the Agr1-
culture Adjustment Administration,
which has directed the crop control
and soil conservation programs.
Loans in Drought Area.
Resettlement at present is engaged
principally in making loans and SUBJ
sistence grants to drought-stricken
and other needy farmers, in construct
ing demonstration" housing projects
and in carrying on some community
DEVELOPMENTS started by the now
abandoned Subsistence Homesteads
Administration.
Tugwell said the 100000 low
income farm families. which he esti-
mated normally would require govern
mental assistance Of some sort, were
entirely apart from depression and
drought victims.
In addition to the idea of making
Resettlement regular bureau or unit
Of the Agriculture Department, the
administrator said another possibility
was that a separate new Federal
agency might be created to handle a
Federal farm tenant program. Reset
tlement could be merged with such an
agency, he asserted.
Discusses Fleming Promotion.
Tugwell also discussed the recent
promotion of Col. Phillip B. Fleming,
Army officer. from the position he was
given in mid-August as supervisor of
resettlement inspection to supervisor
Of all construction.
Fleming was a deputy administra-
Tor in the Public Works Administra-
ton when that agency was estab-
lished, and later was assigned to the
now suspended de-harnessing prof.
ect at Passamaquoddy. Me

As Noel slowly sank deeper into

The most serious conflict in the
ranks of organized labor today
found the American Federation Of
Labor and the Committee for In
dustrial Organization at swords
points, with neither group yield
ing single point.
Tomorrow is the day on which
10 important labor unions COM
prising the c. I. O., headed by the
worlds largest labor group-the
United Mine Workers of America
are scheduled to be suspended
because they defied the federation
and started a drive to unionize the
steel workers as well as those in
other mass production industries.
A. F. L. Won't Yield
Federation officers say this move
ment is all wrong and must be
stopped or else these unions, whose
membership comprises more than
one-third that of the federation,
will be suspended.
Neither side indicated today
that any plan was under way un-
der which a definite split would
be averted.
Returning from European trip
on the eve of the proposed suS-
pension, John L. Lewis, militant
leader of the opposition forces to
the federation, declared the suS-
pension order issued by the execu-
tive council of the federation IAN
act Of incredible and Grass stu
pidity."
Lewis Stands Firm
William Green, president Of the
federation, widened the breach
between the two warning factions
when he told David Dubinsky,
head of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union, who re-
signed as member of the fed
eration's executive council, that
the reasons he assigned for the
action in aligning itself with C. I.
o. were neither valid or logi-
cal. Lewis declared:
1--WE will not diSband the C.
/. o. and our committee has
made its position clear. 1t
plans to aid the workers in
steel and other industries will
continue undated. The shame
of the act of diSmembership
will lie on the heads of the
federatiOn'S executive council,
and they can answer to their
own membership"
Lewis said there was some ques-
ton as to whether the C. I. o.
unions would go to the Fedora
tons annual convention in
Tampa, Fla, in November, and
