BITTER RELIEF ROW
BREAKS In HOUSE
Nv. MACK Johnson

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April &c. CUP.
President Roosevelt's $4,512,00O,-
900 recovery program was plung-
ed into bitter controversy in the
house late yesterday when Major
ity Leader Sam Rayburn, D.,
Texas, charged it is being sabo-
tagged by "big corporations"
To support his allegations Ray
burn read an anonymous letter
received at the White House, to-
gether with q series of printed pc
titions allegedly being circulated
by a Large Michigan corpora
ton" The author of the letter
wrote the president that he
Thought you (and Jim Farley
might be interested in copies Of
new propaganda about to be
launched on congress against
your recovery program"
Rayburn read the petitions
which called upon congress for
rigid economy, balanced budget,
curtailment of the presidents
spending powers, broadening Of
the tax base and simplicifation of
the tax laws, repeal of "drastic
amendments" of the labor rela-
tons act, discrimination Of the
Campaign against public utili-
ties" and a "sound money pro-
gram based on gold"
"This is just to show you the
beginning of great flood Of
propaganda that will pour into
the house against the presidents

Texan roared.
He recalled the thousands Of
letters and kilograms which de-
luged both the house and senate
when the lower chamber was con-
sidering the chief executives i'll
fated government reorganization
bill. and warned that a "similar
flood" against the recovery pro-
gram can now be expected.
Representative Earl c. Michen-
er, R., Mich, countered by asking
Rayburn if he was "going to in
sert in the record petitions that
are now being circulated by WPA
workers and that will be present
ed to US, asking US to support the
recovery program"
Representative Joseph P. VOL
colt, R., Mich, said "there might
be some justification for the ac-
ton of these organizations" and
that eve ought to take some as.
surance here that this money Is
not going to be used to build up
q huge campaign fund for the
1910 elections"
Earlier, Representative Leo f.
Allen, R., ILL.,, had blamed Secre-
tary of the Interior Harold L.
Ickes for "the fear generated in
the country" and cited 1cke's
speeches last winter against dig
business" -,
A member of the presidents
own party, Representative John
J. O'Connor, D., N. Y, chairman
of the powerful house rules COM
mittee, spoke against the program
over the radio last night.
He said that unless business is
freed from oppressive taxation
and fear the pump-priming pro-
gram will be "only q hypodermic."
Rayburn said the anonymous
letter was written by man who
did not sign his name for fear he
would lose his job. He said that

tions charged the recovery pro-
gram would concentrate "such

} STORIES
IN STAMPS
How Wagner Turned
Crisis Into Classic

IT was a worn and discouraged
Richard Wagner who found
shelter with a friend in Switzer-
land in the spring Of 1864. Broken
in spirit, penniless, he had been
forced to fee from his creditors.
The composer faced the darkest
period of his career.
But a light shone ahead. On
detour to Stuttgart Wagner was
overtaken by a messenger from
King Ludwig of Bavaria who sent
4 promise of financial aid so that
Wagner. might realize his most
cherished ambitions in classical
music. In 1863 Wagner had
published the hbretto OF Der Ring
aes Nibelungen and the ruler had
been most struck with it. He in
vited Wagner in 1854, therefore,
to come to Munich to finish his
work. The king gave Wagner an
annual grant of about $500, con-
siderably enlarging this later. He
also placed a comfortable house
at the disposal Of Wagner.
20 AS early as 1845 Wagner had
sketched the story of Die Meister-
singer as a, humorous sequel to
Tannhauser. He worked on the
score at Biebrich and also at
Penzing, near Vienna. Now, after
completing Tristan, he turned TO
finish Die Meistersinger Won
Nuremberg. 1t was first produced
June 81, 1868 at the Bayarian
capital, and with this achievement
Wagner had literally translated a
crisis into classic. Die Meister-
singer Is represented here on
1882 German stamp, one Of a Sc
ries honoring Wagner's operas.
