was abandoned In Baltimore garage,
where the garage owner, after waiting
three years for it to be claimed, de-
cided to auction it of under a me-
chanic's lien. When he tried to get
a clear title to the car, however, he
discovered it was stolen and got in

Because Of my personal experience,

the foundation of enduring democracy.

Of bills which are introduced each

consideration of the whole member
ship. That is the democratic process
There are, however, certain types of
measures In each session which are
of undoubted national importance be-

end in drastic amendment, or In re-

HOUSING FUNDS

White House Farley Paves
Way for Amendments to
End Deadlock.

After a 30-minute conference with
President Roosevelt, John Ihlder, ex-
ecutive officer of the District Alley
Dwelling Authority, announced this
afternoon that amendments to enable
his agency to receive funds from the
United States Housing Authority for
an expanded local slum clearance and
rehousing program would be ready for
submission to Congress within the next
two days.
Mr.. Ihlder said he believed the mis-
understanding which has existed be-
tween his agency and the U. S. H. A.
has been thoroughly cleared up as a
result of his conference with the Presi-
dent and similar meeting yesterday
between James Roosevelt and Nathan
Stratus, U. S. H. A. administrator.
The President is thoroughly in
sympathy with what we are trying to
do" Mr.. Ihlder said smilingly as he

BY JOHN H. CLINE.

The House today began 10 hours Of
debate on the 100000 900 relief and
public works bill, estimated to provide
employment for approximately AGO.
600 persons who have lost their Jobs
IN private industry.
Leaders hoped to secure passage of
the measure by Thursday.
1t is expected the debate will settle
largely around the virtual elimination
OF "earmarking" provisions from the
bill.
AS originally drafted, the measure
appropriates funds directly to the
agencies which will spend them in
stead OF making the money available
In a lump sum for ALLEGATION among
the various agencies by the President,
This, it was commended, would have
deprived the Executive of his con-
troll over expenditures of relief money.
AT the last minute, however, a pro.
vision was written into the bill em-
powering the President to disapprove
work-creating projects if he desires to
do so. thereby virtually multiplying any
effect the so-called earmarking pro.
vision might have had.
Seven Months Employment.
Granting that there might be some
disappointment" over the lack of ear
marking provisions, the House Appro-
priations Committee sought to justify
its omission by the contention that
earmarking of funds would "bog down
the program and defeat the primary
urgent end and aim Of the entire pro-
posal-that Of speedily furnishing
work for some of the many millions
who are unemployed and destitute or
harassed by the specters that haunt
the doorstep of that too large unfor-
tunate group"
The committee report accompanying
the bill estimated the money would
provide employment for seven months
to s2,800,000 persons under w. P. A.,
for one year to 275.0O0 under the Ma
tional Youth Administration, for one
year to 10000 under the Federal pub
lie buildings program and for one year
to approximately 100000 persons un-
der P. w. A.
The report also stated employment
Will be given more than 100000 per-,
sons through the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps and to more than 500 900
persons through other Government
projects, such as food control and de-
velopment Of parks, rivers and har-
bors. This, the committee contended
represents an Adequately fair" con-
trlbution by the Federal Government
toward unemployment.
No Lack of Confidence.
The committee report said the de-
cision to discontinue the practice Of
making relief appropriations in lump
sums should not be construed as evil
dencing any lack of confidence in the
President.
The committee finds no necessity"
the report said, "for burdening the
President with a multitude of details
incident to the ALLEGATION of a large
lump sum for many agencies.
This change in procedure is in no wise
reflection upon what has been done
by the President in the past or what
might be done by him in the future
under the lump sum procedure. 1t is a
resumption on the part of Congress Of
its long established practice of appro-
priating directly to Federal agencies
for specified purposes except in times
of great emergencies.
Outright appropriations OF $2,519,-
425,000 are included in the bill. The

CHICAGO, May 10.-Baby Helaine
Colan's left eyeball. removed in an
effort to save her life, went under the
microscope today for examinations that
might help physicians to preserve the
vision in her other eye.
The 51a-week-old infant spent a
comfortable night after the surgical
operation which a council Of 10 med
ical experts decreed as the only re-
course against death from glioma Of
the retina.
They were asked to make decision
when Helaine's parents were unable to
decide whether she should undergo an
operation and risk total blindness or
be allowed to die.
The cancerous growth had destroyed
the vision in the left eye and has i'm

perts said the disease would be fatal

the operation, said the baby reacted
