provide for a town manager. The

Federal Government is planning
to deed the Greenbelt develop
ment to private corporation and
make it subject to the laws and
taxes Of the State.

would be banned in the State on
Saturdays under provisions Of a
bill offered yesterday by Sena-
tors from Talbot and Wicomico

Special to The Washington Times

Special to The Washington Times
NEW YORK, March 8.-Lash.
ing back at President Roosevelt's
charge of defeatism and reaction
against opponents of his Supreme
Court plan, Raymond MoLey,
former mo. brain-truster," last
night accused the President of
deliberately avoiding the issue in
the 1885 election.
His charge was made in radio
debate with Justice Ferdinand
Pecora, Of the New York supreme
court, who spoke as an "unquali-
fled supporter" of the Presidents
court reform program.
Issue Dropped
Moley said he realized two years
ago that much of the New Deal
program was headed for disaster
in the courts, and that he begged
many men high in the Democratic
party in Washington" to move
them to amend the Constitution
But, he said:
"The issue was dropped. Was
there not an election in the off
lng?"
Although the 1895 Democratic
platform called for an amendment
elf necessary" not a word was said
about it during the CAM aign,
Moley pointed out, and mo word
Of crisis or emergency leaked Out"
Refers to Speech
With obvious reference to the
Presidents victory dinner speech,
he said:
'Tt seems to me that the
charge Of defeatism, hySteria, re.
action and cOwardice comes with
poor grace from those who were
afraid to submit a constitutional
amendment to the people two
years ago and who did not take
the public into their confidence
In 1936-the one year when the
people were permitted a voice In
government.

not even the pretense of de-
HnOcracy. That is the suspension

The financier referred to President

their yachts as one method Of escap-
ing taxes.
Il have never incorporated my

said
If so, that's the fault OF Congress.

D. c. BILL ACTION
EXPECTED TODAY
Senate Appropriations Unit
Meets-Measure's Total
May Top SAG, ,000,0 900.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

The Senate Appropriations Commit
tee convened this afternoon to act on
the 1898 District supply bill, which is
believed to call for more than S46,-
100000, as revised by the District
Subcommittee Saturday. AS passed by
the House two months ago, the bill
carried a figure Of $45, 100000.
In recommending about $1,000, 900
more, the Senate Subcommittee, head
ed by Chairman Thomas of Oklahoma
is understood to have restored many,
but not all, Of the reductions the
House made in budget estimates. 1t is
likely the Senate bill also will contain
reductions in some House items and
possibly few new items not consid-
cred In the House.
II the full committee, which il to
meet at 2:30 pm, reports the bill
this afternoon, Senator Thomas prob
ably will call it up on the floor of the
Senate tomorrow or Wednesday.
Amount for Relief.
Unless there should be 4 last
minute change in the full committee,
indications are the unemployment re-
lief fund will not go above the budget
figure Of 81 .464 900, which would mean
rejection Of requests made during the
hearings by some civic and welfare
organizations for another million.
This increase was opposed, however,
by the Board Of Trade and spokesmen
for the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations and Washington Taxpayers
Association.
Although the Senate Subcommittee
Is reported to have retained the lump
sum Federal payment at the Rouse
figure OF $4,000, ,000-the same as for
the current year-it Is believed to have
recommended to the full committee =
more equitable basis for meetin~ the
operating costs of the higher courts
of the District in view OF the large
amount Of purely national litigation
they handle.
Expenses q Court.
The subcommittee is proposing that
the expenses of these courts be ap-
portioned between the Federal and
District governments. in accordance
with the percentage ratio of Federal
and local litigation handled in the
course OF 4 year.
The action OF the Senate group on
the various legislative riders and pro-
visos In the House bill Is being awaited
with interest by local civic groups.
These provisions seek to transfer func-
tions from one department to another.

Vandenberg's Amendment Is Sane.
toned by Senate Sub.
committee.
Dy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A Senate Judiciary Subcommittee
approved today the proposed Vanden-
berg constitutional amendment to pro-
hibit child labor
The amendment, offered by Senator
Vandenberg, Republican, Of Michigan
to meet major objections raised against
the child labor amendment now be-
fore the States, would permit Congress
to limit. or prohibit, employment of
persons under Is. The pending amend
ment would cover children up to 18.
Vandenberg also eliminated from the
wording of his proposal the word reg
ulate," which critics of the pending
amendment contended would permit
the Federal Government to regiment
all children under l8.
During the day the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee approved the
Wheeler johnson composite" child
labor bill. The measures would pro-
hibit movement OF child labor goods in
interstate commerce and also would
prohibit shipment OF child labor goods
into State in violation of its laws.
Child labor under the Wheeler
johnson proposal would be defined
As work OF children under l6 and in
some occupations 18 years.
A third major change in the VAN
denberg amendment, designed to
eliminate fears that Congress would
be able to regulate labor by members
OF farm families, would restrict the
jurisdiction of the amendment to
persons employed "for hire"
Vandenberg, in offering his amend
ment, said it would remove the ma jor
objections raised against the pending
amendment and forecast that with
these changes the amendment would
be speedily ratified
Instead of requiring ratification by
State Legislatures, which, so far, have
failed to approve the pending amend
ment in sufficient number to make it
operative, Vandenberg's amendment
would be submitted to constitutional
conventions in the various States.
