Wall Street greeted with bewilder-

stock exchanges must adopt
broader self-regulation or face
more rigid government curbS.
In some quarters the Douglas

BUILDING COST
CUT HELD VITAL
BY EARL GOODWIN

Wages in the building industry
will come down and the price of
building materials will come down
and the interest rates on mort.
cages will be reduced
Or the President will NOT be
able to stimulate the country into
a gigantic private home building
drive.
This, in effect, will be the lesson
he seeks to drive home to Congress
and to the building trades, labor
unions and bankers in an impor.
tant message now being prepared
for Congress.
The message may go up to Cap.
itol Hill this week-or it may go
later. However, when it goes, it
is rumored in the inner circles that
it will point out what he believes
Is needed-and then throw the
whole problem in the laps of the
unions, the material men and the
bankers.
The President has in mind a
building campaign a hundred
times larger and covering a much
greater area than anything ever
attempted in this country.
The President himself hopes to
see the building trades, the con,
struction men and financiers
evolve a mass production" in
small homes which will bring
down prices as mass production
has brought down automobile
prices. He is ready to suggest
MORE Government aid in some

FARM MEASURE
FACES DRASTIC
SENATE ACTION
Revision Held Certain
For New Deal Bill
BY ROBERT A. McGILL


G.N.S) The Administration
hastily drafted farm bill faced
drastic revision in the Senate to-
dav, as sponsors admitted it may
fall short of its detectives, and
there is no definite estimate Of its
cost.
The bill, first on the special
sessions legislative calendar, came
under whitening fire as soon as it
was called up for debate by Sena-
tor Smith CD Of South Carolina,
chairman Of the Agriculture Com
mittee.
SEE LONG FIGHT
AS bipartisan criticism was
heaped upon the bill, Administra-
ton leaders admitted its course
through the Senate will be long
and hard. They previously pre-
dicted it would pass this week.
Senator Pope CD Of Utah.
coauthor of the controversial
measure, meanwhile planned to
address the Senate today in de-
tense of the bills constitutionality.
Pope's action was prompted by
reports Democratic and Republi-
can members of the farm bloc plan
to attack the constitutionality Of
the bill on two fronts. They as
sered compulsory crop control fea-
lures, authorized by a referendum
of two-thirds majority, constitute
an invasion of the rights of the
remaining one-third, and that the
bill incorporates features carried
in the old AAA, invalidated by the
Supreme Court.
COST UNCERTAIN
Senator Vandenberg (R) of
Michigan, leading the attack on
the bill, forced Smith into admis-
sion he had no idea of the probable
cost Of the program that there
we're no financial limitations, and
that there was doubt whether it
would be Of any great benefit to
farmers.

III making GQe announcement,
Chairman Mary T. Norton, of New
Jersey, said the move was an at
tempt to eliminate objections,
chiefly originating with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, to ad-
ministration by a board.
GOES TO HOUSE
The approved amendment, she
said, would be offered by the COM
mittee on the floor should the bill
be successfully petitioned out Of
the baking Rules Committee. The
proposal would place administra-
tive power in an agent of the De
partment of Labor.
The chairman was authorized
by the committee to announce its
action to the House this afternoon
in an effort to complete the dis
charge petition, which is now 80
signatures short of the necessary
218.
Many members have sug-
geSted to me that if the board
could be eliminated, they could
support the bill and would sign
the petition" said Mrs. Norton.
THE committee decided to see
if the could do just that"
REVERSES STAND
The action amounted to a COM
plete reversal by the committee
which, in considering the measure
in the last session of Congress,
OVERRIDE attempts to place admin
istrative power under Secretary
of Labor Perkins.
The committee also decided, the
chairman announced, that it would
seek no parliamentary course other
than the petition route to bring the
bill to the House floor. 1t was the
opinion of the group, she asserted,
that proposal to call the bill
down from the House calendar
would "be impractical because it
undoubtedly would face a filibus-

PARLEYS FAIL

Douglas blunt demand for mar.
ket reform climaxed a breakdown
in negotiations between the Com.
mission and officials of the New
York Stock Exchange which looked
to reorganization of that trading
organization.
Fortified with statistics gath.
cred from study Of the recent
stock market upheaval which
caused securities values to shrink
nearly 100000, 100000, Douglas
criticized activities of professional
traders and market specialists.
He accused them of helping along
the market decline.
CLAIMS FAILURE
Douglas also implied the various
exchanges have failed in enforcing
their own rules and regulations in
a "vigilant and vigorous" manner.
Specifically. Douglas called upon
the exchanges to do something
about the professional trader and
the specialist. Studies of market
trends during the past Is years,
according to the Commission,
show that the professional, trading
for his own account on the ex.
change floor, has accumulated
market declines by selling short
for speculative profit. This, Doug
las continued, adds to market de-
moralization.
