SEES BENEFIT TO LABOR
Shipstead disclosed that the

showing that a return to the heavy
goods industries by the railroads
would bring immediate and wide
spread recovery to business and
that labor would receive the larger
share of the returns.

Although details of the program

state, it was apparent anti-Ad-
ministration Democrats and Re
publicans are virtually united in
demands for revision and modifi-
cation Of some of the chief legis-
lative plankS of the New Deal.
It was indicated a large Demo

ident.

whether anti-administration Demo
Gratis, from the South especially,
would openly join in blanket
agreement with Republicans, but
it was pointed out they could "co-
operate" with the minority when
they deemed it necessary.
Meanwhile, a strong coalition in

ready to request revision, Or mod

With undeclared wars raging on

little or no strong opposition.

not sufficiently vain to mind how

But apparently I'm wrong For
it is always those women with the

turned up like dead turtles. It's a
pose which is restful. I know. But
