DEMOCRATS SEEN
/ N0PEN'3 '3SCLASH
Next Session Battle of Lib
erals and Conservatives
Predicted.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Some Senate Democrats forecast to-
day that an open battle for control OF
the party would develop between liberal
and conservative legislators during the
coming session Of Congress
Although unwilling to be quoted by
name, they predicted the present
division would carry over into the 1910
national convention.
Seriousness of the party split was
acknowledged generally by congress
sional DEMOCRATS In private conversa-
ton. Most Of them deplored 1t, but
some said they welcomed it As a means
Of bringing . realignment Of parties
along more realistic lines.
Possible long range results of the
division were outlined differently by
almost every one discussing the sub
ject. Many believed that President
Roosevelt's course during the next
three years would be the determining
factor.
Based on Two Factors.
The belief In some quarters that the
fight would be carried on more openly
during the next congressional session
was based on two factors-the number
of controversial issues coming before
the legislators and the approaching
o1-year elections.
Administration friends have made
no secret of President Roosevelt's in
tention to continue his fight for wage
hour legislation, blocked earlier this
month by Southern Democrats in the
House.
While this rebellion was more along
sectional lines than the Senate revolt
on the Roosevelt court bill. many
Southern Deocrats were active in both.
May Seek Showdown.
Should an appreciable number Of
Democrats continue to block various
administration measures, many Of the
Presidents supporters forecast he
would call for 4 showdown in the pri-
maries next spring and summer.
But il the President should rally
sufncient strength to push his pro-
gram through. some Of the spectators
said, the showdown might be delayed
until the 1910 convention.
Then, whether Mr.. Roosevelt should
be q candidate to succeed himself or
not some of them declared the big
issue would be which faction would
control the party.
Seen ~ Conservative.
One prominent Democrat forecast
that the President himself would be
lined up by that time with the con-
servative wing. Most Democrats pre-
dicted, however that the struggle
would be between the Roosevelt fac
ton Of the party and the more con-
servative group. and that some South
erners would be on each side.
II 4 definite conservative should be
selected as the 1910 presidential nomi-
nee, some Of the prognosticators said,
the liberal wing probably would slide
into some new liberal party based on
farmer-labor lines. II the nominee
should, come from confirmed New
Deal ranks, they declared. the con-
servatives would be sloughed of.

TRUSTFUNDRULES
FIXED BY BOARD
Federal Reserve Body Lays
Down Regulations for
Tax Exemption.
By the Associated Press.

The Federal Reserve Board an
nounced yesterday regulations under
which banks in States which permit
common trust funds can get Federal
tax exemption for the funds.
A common trust fund was defined
as one maintained by a national bank
exclusively for the collective invest
ment Of money contributed by the
bank in its capacity as trustee, execu-
tor. administrator or guardian.
Two types Of such funds were sane
toned. First. the regulations provided
that odd, leftover amounts under
$1,000 in any one trust might be
pooled with similar funds from other
trusts. Second. the board permitted
investment up to s25. 900 or 10 per
cent whichever is less) from any one
trust in common trust containing
similar amounts from other trusts.
To prevent the common funds from
becoming holding companies, the
board said no fund could be used to
buy more than per cent Of any one
class Of securities Of one company.
Also banks were forbidden to put more
than 10 per cent Of any trust into any
single security, except Government
issues
States permitting common trust
funds include New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio. Indiana, Minnesota, Delaware
and Vermont.
The revenue act Of 1895 provided
exemptions for such funds if they met
requirements set by the board. In
come from the funds is to be taxed
through pro rata levies against the
participants in each fund and not
against the fund itself.

Numerous congressional leaders said
yesterday that the business downspin
has virtually destroyed hopes for .

A group of Senators. including some
Of the most ardent economy advocates.
said the recession would increase the
relief load and check the flow Of tax
revenues.
Senator Byrd. Democrat, Of Vir-
glnia. who has campaigned vigorously
for Government economy, said that
while it would be possible to balance
next years budget Il think bal
anced budget is unlikely
"The revenues will drop substan-
TALLY next year. dut to the business
recession" Senator Byrd said. ITO
balance the budget it would be neces-
sary to cut spending substantially all
along the line"
Another conservative Democrat,
Senator Bailey of North Carolina,
said he was hopeful that we can
make such an approach to a balanced
budget in the next fiscal year as to
satisfy the American people that it
will be balanced in the following year."
Half Billion Deficit Seen.
Senator Bailey said he thought next
years deficit "can be held to some-

Senator Adams. Democrat. of Colo

that We can't balance the budget
There is already decline in Treasury

Il don't think the budget can be

the view that the unbalanced budget
'is one of our most alarming situa-

as a method of accelerating business
said that 1T will be impossible to bal

To achieve balance, he said, the
Government must create a broad,
