Hendrickson succeeded in haul

HOUSE BATTLE
PER|LS DRIVE
TO END SLUMS
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL

G.N.SO The Administration
plan to speed low-cost housing
and slum clearance as part of the
recovery program was imperiled
today by q bitter behind.the.
scenes controversy.
The battle revolved around pro
posals to relieve local housing au-
thorities of provisions in the law
requiring them to pay 10 per cent
Of the cost of projects.
Both sides in the controversy,
which conferred in the House,
claimed to state the attitude of
the White House on the question.
The House Banking Committee is
split over the issue.
A clear-cut declaration from
President Roosevelt was to be
sought by leaders Of the rival fac
tons in an effort to smooth the
way for early passage Of the leg
iSlatoin.
House leaders, by taking stand
for local contributions, indicated
the White House favorS maintain
ing the present law. Opponents
of local contributions, however, re-
ported that they obtained an OPP
posite impression from James
Roosevelt, son and secretary to
the President.
The new housing bill, which is
now before the House Rules Com
mittee, reviSeS the Wagner-Stea-
gall bill passed a year ago.
It raises from 100000, 900 to
$500, OOO,O 900 the bonding authority
of the Housing Authority. It also
removed limitations in the pre-
viouS law, and makes the entire
$500, 0OO, 900 Immediately available
to be used in a great drive to de.
molish slums and provide low'cost
housing.
In urging Congress to back the
plan to speed the program, Hous.
ing Director Nathan StrarS urged
that $1,000, 0O0, 900 be provided.
This exceeded the Presidents re-
quest by 5000, 100000.
Under present law, housing au'
thorities created by State law
must provide 10 per cent OF the
cost of projects. The faction favor
ing removal of this requirement
claims that so many cities are IN
financial straits that the entire
program will be impeded unless
the limitation is removed.

ture gracefully. I
Time was, only a few weeks

Walt, charged into the White
House whistling his "Heigho,

had figured he could toss the
silver-haired Thomas for a long
Oklahoma loss next November
II only he had the right New
Deal financial backing. He
walked out of the White House
talking to himself while Roose-
welt blandly announced that
anyone of Disney's financial
acumen was too valuable to be
lost to the House Ways and
Means Committee. He'll stay

Rail PGrLeu
Urged by
Wagner

G.N.S) Senator Wagner CD
Of New York said today he hoped
to cali into conference representa-
tives Of railroad management and
labor to discuss the proposed Is
per cent wage cut holding UP addi.
tional recovery" loans to the
carriers.
Wagner, chairman of the Senate
Banking and Currency Committee.
issued call for the conference
early this week as the Senate and
House withdrew support of legis.
lation authorizing the RIG TO
make unqualified loans TO
carriers to reemploy furIougtaad
workers.
The New Yorker held little hope
of postponing railway labor's
threatened strike If the rs per
cent reduction is carried out, but
indicated strongly the loan legis.
lation will be indefinitely post
poned.
Wagner withdrew the loan bill
from the Senate calendar and sent
it back to his committee when
sharp opposition to the program
developed following the carriers
announced determination to cut
wages.
The railroads announced Q is
per cent wage cut will save them
$255 900, 900 annually, whereas the
proposed loan program totals
approximately 100000, 900, a.
though no limit was set.

The Kentuckian disclosed he
would offer an amendment to per-
NIT use of PWA funds for that
purpose, provided municipalities
for which the Government would
finance plants, have made genuine
offers Of purchase to existing pri-
vate companies.
This revelation was made by
Barley after he conferred with
President Roosevelt on the details
Of the $3.50, 900, 900 relief-re-
covery bill and just as the Senate
began consideration Of the meas
ure.
Senator Norris U..R0 of Ne.
braSka issued a blast against the
clause to bar construction Of Gov
eminent power plants in the PWA
set-up.
Bunk" he called the pledge Of
private power companies to ex-
pand their plants and put idle
men to work, if the PWA program
Tof building electricity systems is
halted.
PLEDGES BROKEN, HE SAYS
1.-THE power companies have
been making pledges for many
years they don't keep, and this
one is like all the rest-just
bunk" Norris Numbered.
Under the amendment recon-
mended by the Appropriations
Committee, PWA would be pro
hibited from providing funds for
construction of Government power
plants that compete with private
companies regulated by the States.
WAGE-HOUR FIGHT
Southerners were battling to
have the Senate adopt a commit
tee amendment providing that If
Congress passes a wage.hour bill
for private industries, the same
conditions shall be applied to all
Works Progress Administration
projects.
Dixie's Solons rallied behind
that feature as an indirect thrust
at the wage-hour bill pending in
the House, measure that would
fix rigid standards without differ
entails for rural or Southern
States.

FARMER-LABOR
ACTION STUDIED

;. MADISON. Wis, May %
G.N.SJ.-State political leaders
today debated the significance of
the action taken by the Wisconsin
Farmer.Labor Progressive Fedora
ton IN its weekend convention
here.
: The nine liberal groups making
up the federation Endorsed Mayor
Daniel Hoan, Of Milwaukee, for
United States Senator and Theo-
dore Dammann for governor.
= The name Of Dammann on the
; slate was regarded by some as a
slight against Gov. Philip F. La
Toilette on his newly organized
National Progressive Party al.
/. though he is not q member Of the
: federation.
Two years ago no candidate for
governor was Endorsed, with the
tacit understanding that La.
Toilette was the intended choice.
Dammann, however. is secre'
tary of state and q Staunch sup
porter of LaFollette and it was
conceded that he had been placed
in the running merely to be with
drawn when the governor an.
nounced whether he would seek a
third term.
Progressive party leaders were
said to be actually well satisfied
with the developments inasmuch
as no action had been taken on
the party. Some CLIO delegates
had openly declared they would
seek . reputation Of the new
party movement and when the
threat faded under a plea fol
harmony by Mayor Hoan, it was
regarded in the LaFollette camr
as a favorable sign.

Nye Urges
Restudy of
Arms Bill

0.N.s). Backed by Senate
liberals, Senator Nye (RO of
North Dakota said today he will
press the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee for reconsideration OF
his defeated amendment to the
neutrality act to lift the arms EN-
barge to the Spanish loyalist gov
eminent.
Nye was out Of the city when
the committee voted II to to
postpone the resolution indefi-
nitely, following an adverse report
from Secretary of State Hull. He
said he plans to plead his case"
before the committee early this
week.
WANTS HEARING
II have no idea what attitude
the committee will express after
reconsideration, but ] want, at
least, to get the hearing which
the bill has not been accorded
thus far" Nye said.
8 The committee unanimously
voted Nye the privilege of moving
to reconsider its action upon mo-
ton of the chairman, Senator
Plttman CD Of Nevada.
Nye indicated he has little hope
Of reversing the committees &C
ton. He said, however, that he
desires to keep the record
straight" by voicing a plea for
enactment of the resolution before
the committee, and offering sew
= eral witnesses.
I FUTILE MOVE
At the time the vote was taken,
Pittman said that, although Nye
would be given the privilege OF
appearing before the committee,
it would be futile" to try to

Hoover remained q me-minute

Each was advised through the
morning papers that the other was

Asked if they intended to talk
with Hoover before leaving the
Ihotel-Knox to meet his wife and
Landon to visit friends in Green
Wich, Conn.-Knox said, Il didn't
know Mr.. Hoover was to be here
and really don't know anything
to see him about" and Landon
nodded confirmation.
AVOID EACH OTHER

Hoover, said practically the same
thing. Mr.. Hoover did not know
they were to be here" he said;
"he has no plans for meeting
them"
