LEHMAN OFFER.
TO SEEK SENATE.
SEAT ACCEPTED
Bennett First Entrant
In Governor Race

ALBANY, N. Y, June % IN.S0
New York State Democratic lead
ers today accepted Governor Her
bert H. Lehman'S offer to run Tor
the unexpired term of the late q.
s. Senator Royal S. Copeland.
Their acceptance was so prompt
and gleeful that opposition from
President Roosevelt could not pre-
vent Lehman's nomination in Sep
tember. 1t is believed, however,
the President will go along with
the Governors wishes.
The abrupt removal of Governor
Lehman as a potential candidate
for a fourth gubernatorial term
sent a host of aspirants into the
field.
BENNETT FIRST
First to enter was Attorney
General John j. Bennett, jr., but
his announcement was met with
silence on the part of most of the
Democratic leaders.
BENEFITS supporters say he has
the backing of Governor Lehman,
but an important group of Demo
cratic chieftains want United
States Senator Robert F. Wagner
to run for governor. Wagner'S
second Six-year term in the Senate
expires this year.
The Wagner-for-governor bloc
insists that with him as the guber-
material nominee and Lehman as
one of the candidates for United
States Senator the Democratic
ticket would have the solid back
ing Of labor.
TALKED WITH FARLEY
This group believes that a Ben
nett-Lehman licked would not be
as strong.
Governor Lehman's 25-word
statement, which stirred both
parties to the depths, said:
eff my party desires me to be
a candidate for the office Of
United States Senator to sue
ceed Senator Copeland, I will
accept the nomination"
Before this pronouncement, Gov
ernor Lehman, it was understood,
talked with Postmaster General
James A. Farley, chairman of the
Democratic national committee.
FOUGHT COURT BILL
Most Democratic leaders believe
the Governors famous letter, call
ing for defeat of the Presidents
court reorganization bill, will not
be stumbling block to his norni-
nation for Senator.
They look upon him as a
strengthening force and point out

The program, evolved through
compromises between liberal and
conservative factions among the
Governments fiscal experts, will
be placed before President Roose-
velt tomorrow by Secretary Nor
genthau.
SUMMARY OF PLAN
Summarized, the new plan calls
for:
/. Revision Of Federal regu.
lationS governing bank invest
mentS to give banks wider lati-
tude in purchasing bonds OF
small corporations.
2. Liberalization and cool di-
nation of bank examination
methods by the Comptroller of
the Currency, the Federal De-
posit Insurance Corporation
and the Federal Reserve Board.
OF considerable Importance az
this time is the proposed relaxa-
tion of investment regulations.
This step is aimed at meeting the
barrage of complaints from busi-
ness that banks are refusing to
extend credit for worthwhile in
dustrial projects, such as plant
and general i'm
provementS.
BONDS NOW BARRED
Under present rules, national
banks have been prohibited from
buying any bond issues that do
not have public distribution.
Under the new plan, banks would
be permitted to purchase the
bonds directly from any firm that
can give a reasonable guarantee
as to it's financial integrity.
Conflicting views over this por-
ton of the program enveloped
the financial advisers in a bitter
behind-the-scenes fight for many
weeks.
Federal Reserve Board Chair
man Eccles, for the liberal fac
ton, was represented as favoring
such bond purchases on a long
term maturity basis. ConServa-
tlveS, led by Morgenthau, FDIC
Chairman Crowley and Acting
Comptroller of the Currency
Dlggs, were willing to grant more
freedom in bond purchases by
banks, but insisted that the
maturity be kept within a shorter
period.
Compromising, the two factions
were reported to have agreed on
a regulation that would require
firms to amortize IS per cent Of
their bond issues that are sold to
banks, within a 10-year period.

the wise course will be to con-
duct investigations without
knowledge of the public or even
the candidates allegedly in
volved until facts are obtained"
said Senator Morris Sheppard
CD of Texas, the snowy-haired
chairman of the committee.
Circumstance surrounding each
case will govern whether notice of
investigation shall be broadcast,
he said.
"Of course, if there are any
notorious cases in which the
public has knowledge, we may
announce an investigation Is
under way at the outset"
Already some complaints Of al
legged wrong-doing on the part Of
persons said to be working for
candidates have been received by
the committee, Sheppard said, con-
tinuing:
But none Of these complaints
seems to have any substance.
However, we are keeping all let
ters on file and will act wher-
ever the charges seem to war

Chat TO Give
Roosevelt
Aims
BY GEORGE DURNO

HYDE PARK, N. Y, June q
(1N.SO.-A radio "fireside chat
was being prepared here today in
the seclusion of President Roose
Velt's family estate, which will
chart New Deal aims and hopes
for a definite business upturn and
keynote the Chief Executives
forthcoming swing across the
continent.
The President divided his time
at the summer White House be.
tween passing on q multitude OF
last-minute congressional actions
some of them vitally important
and working on the speech he
will send out over the radio
waves Friday night from Wash,
tngton.
SIGNS IL BILLS
The President signed IL more
minor bills this morning and
vetoed one private relief measure.
While he was thus clearing his
desk, however, so additional bills
arrived in the mail pouch from
Washington.
There were no visitors at Hyde
Park today. Mr.. Roosevelt took
time off from his work and mo-
tored out to supervise the cutting
Of some hay on his property.
Having signed the $3.50 600, 900
lending spending bill designed to
pump-prime the country out Of its
current recession, and having pre-
dicted business was about to see
an improvement, Mr.. Roosevelt
was understood to be devoting ut
most care and attention to his
Friday night radio message.
On July 7, the President sets
forth on his annual croSS-country
tour. This year he will pass
through a number of States where
loyal New Deal Senators and Con-
greSsmen are facing strong opposi-
ton in Democratic primaries, and
where certain Administration op-
ponentS are seeking reelection.
The forthcoming "fireside chat"
will afford an insight to the mes
sage the President will leave in
those districts, according to all
advance indications.
BUSINESS DRIVE
It was apparent the Chief Ex-
ecutive had launched a most Wig
orouS drive to pull the country
out Of recession doldrums. He
promised that dirt actually would
be flying within 60 days on about
$35O,000,000 of new PWA projects,
with the loan-grant program to be
allocated in two or three months
most of it before the July 7 de-
parture for the coast.
In response to inquiries about
the bushes situation, he permitted
this quoted observation:
There have been a few rain
drops coming from heaven and
possibly they will be followed
by a muchneeded shower"
WAGE-HOUR BILL WAITS
The Executive also had served
notice on States and local COM
munities that they were on a
partnership basis with the Federal
Government in pressing the re-
lief-recovery program from which,
It is hoped, work will be given
the unemployed and agriculture,
industry and business will be
stimulated.
Still awaiting final action by
President Roosevelt was the wage
hour bill, establishing minimum
wages and maximum hours on a
sliding scale. Its enactment was
one of the major victories of the
Administration in the last session
Of Congress and signature was ex-
pected as soon as Washington
furnished the President with re-
qulred reports.

through a local or PWA loan, to
obtain a As per cent Federal con-

ing Administrator Gray said.
"The list of 291 aIlotments is a
beginning of a series which will
speed throughout the country

ton and new employment"
He warned, however, that to
keep the rush" stamp placed on
the program by Congress, local
communities planning new con-
Struction must submit applica-
tions promptly, as they will not
be accepted after September 30.
