The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-04

NNNNoe@4NANAAf~A &aNN~~A ~0S @F nine to eleven in contrast with the increase of six proposed by the pFes- ident in his court message of Feb ruary s.
 The weeks developments demon strated, however, that the president finally has resumed the offensive in behalf of certain legislation, espe- cially court and executive depart ment reorganization. Reiterated Request
 In his national planning message yesterday, the president reiterated his request for authority to reor- ganize the executive branch of gov- ernment-a grant of power congress is extremely reluctant to extend. Dispute between house and senate is delaying proposed investigation of tax evasion and avoidance, re- quested in an urgent message sent to congress Tuesday by MT. Roose- welt. The house likewise are di- vided on procedure in establishing and administering the eight re- gional water, land and power. re- sources authorities proposed by the president in his national planning message.
 The administrators $1,50O, ,000, 900 relief bill was rarnmed through the house without major amendment. But a coalition of senate republi- cans and democrats may be able to reduce 1t by $500,00O,00O despite White House protests.
 Chief difficulty on the tax inves- tigation is whether the tax evaders or avoiders shall be publicly named.
 Some of MT. Roosevelt's legislation may be amended drastically or abandoned. But in any event con- gressional leaders believe it will not be possible to adjourn before August Specific Projects MT. Roosevelt has proposed twelve specific projects still awaiting &C., tion. They are:
 Executive department reorganiza- tion.
 Judicial reorganization.

 Crop insurance.
 Sugar excise tax.
 $1,50D, 900, 1000 relief bill.
 Permanent establishment of the CCC.
 Minimum wages and maximum hours.
 Strengthen securities act provi- sions on bankruptcy.
 Pan-American conference treaties.
 Prevention of tax evasion and avoidance.
 National planning for water, power and land resource uses.
 May Run to October
 If Mir. Roosevelt insists on house and senate votes on all those prof. ects congress probably will not be able to adjourn before October.
 Comparison of the White House legislative program with MT. Roose- velt's campaign outline of second New Deal objectives indicates that some of the promises made fin 1886 probably will not be fulfilled until next year or later.
 The presidents plans to shift the New Deal from temporary to perma- nent foundations, to revive most of the principles of the late MIRA and continue the substitutes which sup planted the outlawed agricultural adjustment administration activi- ties were revealed during the cam paign in broad outline, as follows:
 Plans of President
 l. Labor Shorter hours and higher wages: abolition of child la- bor and sweatshops; promotion of collective bargaining.
 3. Industry-Abolition of monop- oly, unfair competition and dishon- orable trade practices.
 3. Agriculture-Con of crop surpluses; better land use; improved marketing facilities for farmers; encouragement of farm coopera- tives; and crop insurance.
 4. General Cheaper electricity: better and cheaper transportation low interest rates; sounder home financing; better banking; more comprehensive regulation of security issues; continued deciprocal trade agreements; and slum elimination.
 It appears now that only labor is to obtain complete realization of the legislation proposed by MT. Roose- welt during his campaign. The su- preme court upheld the Wagner la- Dor relations act, thereby guaran- teeing workers the right to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing. The wage and hours bill may fulfill the cam paignu contract.
