Fight Believed Near
Over ALLEGATION Of
Relief Money
RooseveIt's $1,763,0 ,00o
Proposal Held Favored
By Both Houses
BY the Associated Press,

~ Vic <ASooSi6tSO 6ICcSs
Congressional leaders predicted
today that President Rooseyelt's
81 ,763 ,000, 900 relief proposal would
be accepted readily by both House
and Senate, but fight is brewing
over how the money should be spent.
Senate Leader Barkley and House
Leader Rayburn agreed that the sum
asked by Mr.. Roosevelt for the year
beginning July was conservative. !"
The w. P. A. would get $l,477,-
100000 Of the total, the National
Youth Administration and the Farm
Security Administration $123 900, 900
each, and about $4,000, 900 would
60 to- other Federal agencies for
relief activities.
Senator Barkley said that while
he did not see the necessity for any
''long-winded arguments" there
would be controversy over q
formula for allocating relief funds
among the States.
Three Plans Suggested.
Three major plans have been sug-
gested:
/. Senator Byrnes, Democrat, OF
South Carolina would distribute
funds half on the basis of a States
unemployment and half on the basis
of population. He would require
that each State contribute an aver
age of 33la per cent of the total
cost Of the Federal works projects.
2. Republicans generally support
a proposal to turn relief adminis-
tration back to the States, and Sen
ator Lodge, Republican, Of Massa-
chusetts would require that money
be distributed among the States
according to jobs required to meet
unemployment needs.
3. Representative Woodrum, Dem
ocrat. of Virginia, leader of econ
omy-minded House members, also
has proposed turning relief back to
the States. with Congress fixing the
amount each State could receive
and with a Federal administrator
supervising projects.
Disagrees With Formula.
Mr.. Roosevelt already has adopted
part of Senator Byrnes' relief
plan by ordering reorganization OF
the P. w. A.. w. P. A. and other
works and relief units into an inte-
grated Federal works agency. His
message indicated. however. that he
disagreed to some extent with the
Senator's distribution formula.
ANY formula that may be de-
vised for this purpose and written

Democrats Hare Not Kept
Pace Hifh Crotcfh OF G.. O. p.

As downstate Illinois is normally
Republican-Lucas would have been
defeated in 1888 had il not been for
his sizable majority in Chicago
il would appear that if the entire
state of Illinois had been voting on
May 4 there would have been a
Republican victory.
This may not mean a thing, but
certainly if it does not the state
ments put out by some Democratic
leaders, including the ever optimis-
tic Alben w. Barley, Democratic
leader of the senate, that this spells
Democratic victory in 1910. do not
either.
II may not mean thing because
no one knows who will be the candi-
dates of either party in 1910, nor
precisely what will be the issues.
But il is apparent that the Demo-
cratic strength in Chicago has not
kept pace with the growth of Re-
publican strength since 1885, when
il touched high tide.
II is we'll known among Chicago
friends of Kelly in Washington that
the mayor expected confidently a
majority OF not less than AGO. 900.
He was confident that he would
make better showing than Senator
Lucas did last fall though he knew
he could not reach his own huge lead
in 1895, and he only hoped to ap-
proach the Roosevelt 1886 majority.
Need for Some Plan to
Reuire Business Is Jifal
A big, spectacular plan to revive
business will be announced by the
White House very shortly. Details
of what it is TO be are being kept
closely guarded There is every de-
sire to avoid another fasco such as
the "appeasement' program of I'M
happy memory.
Besides, what is being considered
now may not bear much resem-
blance to the plan when it is finally
announced. President Roosevelt has
a way of letting his consultants think
he is agreeing with them 100 per
cent, and then making a decision al
most the opposite. So one can never
be sure by talking to any particular
group that has been urging a plan
on the President that their particu-
lar plan will become official The
President may take plan which
was advocated by some other group,
or he may work out compromise
from all the plans suggested.
All that is definitely known at the
moment, therefore, is that some
thing is on the fire, with the object
OF making business better in the
10 months just ahead. The need
for that is vital.
THERE'S no doubt about the Pres
dent's opinion on this subject. He
realizes ii is vital. The difficulty
does not lie in convincing him of
that, but in persuading him to agree
to moves which are certain TO bring
about that objective.
Thus the President was thorough
ly sold on the idea by Harry L.
Hopkins, just before he appointed
Hopkins to be secretary of COM
merce.
Hopkins made no secret of his
ideas on the subject, and his in
tentions and plans when he should
be secretary Of the department
which has so much to do with bust
ness. He talked frankly and freely
to many senator's, for example, and
his views so expressed were very
helpful in bringing about his con-
firmation by the senate with SO lit
tie unpleasantness.
