BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 12.-The New
York Times said today in a special
dispatch from Washington that the

ers' Union will not respond to the
call for convention to form the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton into a permanent group should
the c. + o. decide upon such meet
ing.
Il absolutely deny it," David Du-
binsky, I. L. G. w. U. president, said
OF the report, but in amplifying this
remark he admitted that other OFF,
cials Of the union might have been
responsible for rumors of the rift.
Mr.. Dubinsky is one of the founders
of c. I. o.
Policy decisions of such impor-
tance for our union can be made only
by the General Executive Board or
by convention" he said.
Our board has not met recently,
and the matter Of action on our Fart
in the event the c. I. o. decides to
form a national federation has there
fore not been taken up.
The Times story continued:
In effect the I. L. G. w. U. would
withdraw from c. l. o. and remain
unaf1liated either with 1t or the A.
F. L. Later, possibly, the garment
workers organization would return to
the A. F. L.
"The possible detection of the third
largest union in c. I. O., claiming
235, 1000 members, will be reported to
the c. l. o. officers when the heads
of the national unions meet tomorrow
(Tuesday) morning in the Office of
John l.. Lewis, c. I. o. chairman.
David Dubinsky, president of the
I. L. G. w. u, it was learned, has
advised Sidney Hillman, president of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Of America, that his union will not
go along with the other c. I. O.
unions if they decide to form a per-
manent organization and further
widen the rift with the A. F. L."

Several other types of Federal

1t was reported the United States

Other semi-relief appropriations re-

Also before Congress was a proposal
that 100000 be made available
to railroads for purchases OF equip

borrow money with greater ease by
lifting the requirement that the In

that borrowing road may be ex-

These funds, however, could come
from the Reconstruction Finance

Party Control at Stake.
The big prize at stake in the Ma
tion's first off-year election was con-
troll Of the Democratic party in Illi-
nois.
The contenders were the Chicago
Democratic organization headed by
Mayor Edward J. Kelly and National
Committeeman P. A. Nash and the
"downstate' forces of Gov. Henry
Horner.
Fair weather and the bitterly fought
campaign were expected to stimulate q
huge vote. Estimates ranged from
100000 to 2,5OO.O00. The registra-
ton in the Cook County metropolitan
area, ,97l ,l02-was the largest on
record.
The balloting was for the nomina-
ton Of Democratic and Republican
candidates for United States Senator,
27 congressional seats, three State Of
fees, the Legislature and county Of
fees.
Polls to Be Watched.
Both Democratic camps marshaled
an army of watchers to guard Chi
cago polls from am. to S pm. Five
thousand police augmented force OF
more than 5000 watchers.
The election marked the second
political test between the Horner Or
ganization and the Kelly-Nash ma
chine. The Governor defeated the
Chicago forces in his fight for re-
nomination in 1886. The present
phase of the intraparty strife centered
on candidates for the United States
Senate and Cook County Judge

tiated peace terms. The Senate
quickly shelved the bill.
Mr., Garner long has been an
economy advocate, fact which many
legislators credited with occasioning
his stand against pump printing ex-
penditures.
Advocates of Government spending,
however, won new support yesterday
from Secretary Morgenthau, who had
criticized such program last Novem-
Der 10. Since then, the Treasury head
told reporters, conditions have chang
ed radically.
Mr. Morgenthau said business condi-
tions, which he described as worse
than in February. call "for some kind
of Government aid"
In the background of the fight over
pump printing was the defeat in the
House last week of the administra-
tion's reorganization bill. That blow
to a basic measure of the President s
legislative program stiffened opposi-
ton of conservatives to almost any
new administration proposals.
Two Billions for Year.
Informed persons predicted tht
President would recommend relief
appropriation Of $1,250, 100000 for the
first seven months of the new fiscal
year beginning July l. This created
speculation that the total relief out
lay for the year might reach $4,000
100000.
Should 1t approximate that figure
the administration relief and recov-
cry program probably would involve
about s5,OO0,O0O,O00, including the
S1,500,000,000 being made available
to the Reconstruction Finance Corp
for business loans and the expected
Public Works program of about
sl,5OO,OOO,OOO.
One Senator who attended Mr.
Roosevelt's conference on recovery
and relief yesterday said the President
had not decided finally on a pump
priming program, but if it Is approved,
it appears certain to take some form
of federally financed construction by
cities and States.

the final judgment Of the p. w. A.
Housing Division cannot rest on the
number Of units which 1t built.
The 20,000 families which 1t housed

Most significant value of this hous-

there that it really shines, and the
claim can be made on this pragmatic
basis: In four years It was able to
silence all critics OF socialism and
Government In business and at the
same time to prepare the country to
approve the current housing program.
And for this country to approve
the Wagner -Steagall Housing Act 4

Of the p. w. A. housing program is
no mean feat. Because the Wagner

to rise again on the United States

the stage depends largely on how
much it can improve on the P. w. A.

drastically lowering costs, then rents. "
