WASHINGTON, May 81. (UP)
President Roosevelt lost 49,
200, 900 economy fight in the
"pork-hungry" house late yestcr-
day but won an easy victory in
the senate to make the Civilian
Conservation corps-his favoritc
New Deal project-a permanent
agency.
Earlier he had bowed to house
Democrats rebelling against his
sweeping economy drive by agree
ing to support a $25,000,00O
emergency flood control program
for the Ohio valley this year.
Thus Mr.. Roosevelt reversed the
position he took fortnight ago
when he urged that flood control
authorizations be deferred until
the next session Of congress.
Although the revolving house
torpedoed plans Of Mr.. Roosevelt
and its own appropriations COM

there were indications that the
Democratic majority would give
the president another blank check
for $500, 100000 to finance re-

NEW HOSPITAL FOR
VETERANS PLANNED

W ASnlNN YIN, May 81 vi
Secretary Of the Treasury Henry
Morgcnthau, Jr., believes the Uni
ted States should remain aloof
from all general international
monetary conferences on the
ground that the nation has al
ways "lost its shirt in past gath
eringS.
In revealing yesterday the sec
retary's personal views on world
money discussions, a high treas
ury official made it clear, how
ever. that Morgenthau is ready to
deal with individual countries
whenever mutual currency and
exchange problems come up.
Because Morgenthau is the chief
fiscal officer of the adminiStra-
ton, it was generally assumed that
his views doomed the prospects
for Pan-American monetary con-
ference, proposed by Uruguay at
the BucnOS Aires peace meeting.
The official said that Morgen-
thau was in thorough agreement
with the words Of the late Will
RogerS-that on every occasion
the United States participates in
a world conference "we get trim
med; We lose our shirts"
He pointed out that the United
States has always attained success
in bi-latcral conferences and for
this reason the secretary is not
opposed to Sitting down" with
individual countries and talking
over problems of mutual interest.
The official cited agreements
the United States had reached in
dividuallv with Mexico, Canada
and China in connection with sill
yer purchases.
