Economy Held First Step
In Appeosement
81 the Associated Press.


Representative Treadway, Repub-
lican, of Massachusetts,, senior mi
nority member of the House WAYS
and Means Committee, asserted YES
terday that real economy In gov
ernment is the first step in the
direction of honest business ap-
peasement."
Making what he termed "real-
istic" appraisal of the "appease-
ment" situation, Mr.. Treadway said
in statement there appeared to be
no warrant for any opinion that
ANY lifting of the present oppres-
sive tax burden on business is con-
templated."
Rather, he said, there is a discus
sion among Democrats of a new %
per cent corporation tax, which, he
said, would impose heavy new
tax burden on business all along the
line"
He said he was sure Republicans
would cooperate in any program of
tax revision in the interest of busi-
ness recovery, but that I'VE want
to make sure that the substitute
program of taxation Is not
worse than that which we now
have"

Independent Agencie,
Issue in Merger Bill
Up in Senate Monday
Action Is Postponed
On Controversial
Provisions Of Measure
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Senate postponed action on
controversial provisions of the Gov-
ernment reorganization bill today
after several members had indicated
opposition.
On motion of Senator McNary.
Republican, Of Oregon, the minority
leader, the Chamber delayed until
Monday q vote on a provision ex-
empting a score of independent
agencies from the proposed presi-
Dental power to reorganize Federal
bureaus.
Senator McNary said he would
insist that the United States En-
ployes' Compensation Commission
be included in the exempt list, be-
cause labor interests wanted it to
remain independent.
Present Provisions.
Under the reorganization measure.
already approved by the House, the
President could reorganize most
Government bureaus by executive
order. The orders would not be ef-
fective, however, If they were dis.
approved by both houses of Congress
within 60 days.
One provision of the measure would
provide for 20 hours of debate in
each chamber on proposed reorgani-
zation orders. On motion of Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia the
Senate delayed action on this Sec
ton, too, until Monday.
Several Senators have contended
the provision would unnecessarily
limit speechmaking In the chamber,
which consistently has formulated
its rules so as to allow the fullest
freedom of debate.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana, denounced the House
measures provision for only veto"
power by Congress over reorganiza-
ton plans as a confession of Con-
gressional inefiieiency. when debate
opened on the bill yesterday.
The House measure provides that
any changes in the organization of
executive departments ordered by
the President shall become effective
unless Congress disapproves by
passage of a resolution within 60
days after the order is issued. Sen
ator Wheeler argued no order should
be effective without affirmative ac-
ton by Congress. He submitted an
amendment to that effect.
Administration followers worked
actively to line up support against
the Wheeler plan. They conceded,
however, that the vote would be
close.
Senator Borah, Republican. Of
Idaho, saying he opposed the House
provision, told reporters:
I'VE need reorganization of the
Government-there is no doubt
about that. But I don't want Con-
gress to surrender its actual legis-
lative powers because I think 1t is
unnecessary"

Twas the bottom of the night.
Or, to be exact, the top O. tn morn
ing. George H. O'Connor, enter
tainer of Presidents, had just fin
ished a rehearsal with the song
birds of the Friendly Sons of St.
Patrick. They plan to put on their
annual show tonight at the May
flower.
Where you goin' now?' Barney
Fitzgerald, lyric tenor, asked George
O'Connor, labeled a barrel-tone."
ITO the University Club" said
George. MY boy is singing over
there, with the Georgetown Univer-
sity Glee Club"
So over the gang went to watch
George H. O'Connor, ST., hear George
H. OConnor, 10 years of age, make
his debut as singer.
When the old-time minstrel man
OF Washington stepped into the
crowded auditorium the chairman
OF the Entertainment Committee,
Cecil j. Wilkerson, spotted the IA
nous entertainer. At that time
young O'Connor was bearing down
on the bass of an Irish folk song,
Londonderry Air"
All Join in Fathers Pride,

his singing partners from the

mo, we never heard tn likes of
him. they answered in chorus.
And with that, Chairman Wilkin-
son OF the Entertainment Committee
stepped to the center of the stage,
the song of the Glee Club ended.
and made this announcement:
I'VE have with us tonight, ladies
and gentlemen, man who needs no
introduction. A man who, 81 years
ago sang baritone in the old George
town University Glee Club. A man
who has given us first bass for the
present-day Glee Club. I refer to
Mr.. George H. OConnor, in the back
Of the hail.
"And tn back of my hand to you,"
said Mr.. O'Connor. as he tried to
make a hasty exit. The friendly
hands Of the Friendly Sons of ST..
Patrick were laid not too unfriendly
upon his coat collar. He was dragged
up the aisle and hoisted on the stage,
with good old Irish heave:
Get up there, ye spalpeen, We, and
sing" Maj. Tittman yelled-and Mr..
O'Connor sang. He sang Little
Tommy Murphy"
Father and Son Sing, Too.
When the applause diminished,
there were loud calls for father and
son. So young George H. O'Connor

while he has referred the matter
to the Music Committee to deter
mine in what manner the Junior

''The recordings being made

speak from experience, because I've
already bought the two symphonies

Rotating Plan 10 I
Spread W.P. A. Relief
Persons Longest on
Rolls May Be Replaced
BY Those on Waiting List
By the Associated Fress.

By the Associated Fress.
The w. p A. and Congressmen
handling relief appropriations are
giving serious consideration to q
plan for replacing persons who have
been on relief rolls longest with in
dividuals on the waiting list.
Both w. p. A. Administrator Har-
rington and members of a House
Appropriations Subcommittee were
described today as favoring such
an arrangement.
Harrington Is Recalled.
The subcommittee, as yet uncon-
vinced that $150,OOO,0O0 more is
necessary, as requested by President
Roosevelt, recalled Col. Harrington
for further questioning this morning.
Some sentiment for compromise
appropriation already has developed.
A majority Of the subcommittee ap-
peared to believe that additional
funds must be provided, but they
disagreed on the amount
president Roosevelt said 1000 900
persons would be removed from the
rolls by early June unless the $780,
OOO. 900 were forthcoming
Subcommittee members said they
had been told that reductions would
be made by eliminating the least
necessary projects and not by weed
ing out employees least in need. The
latter course was represented as
involving too great an administra.
tive problem.
No General Inquiry.
House leaders said that so far
as they had been able to determine
there was no disposition on the
part OF the Appropriation Subcom-
mlttee to convert the hearings at
this time into comprehensive in
qulry into w. P. A. with the purpose
OF revising its setup.
Representative Cox, Democrat. Of
Georgia introduced a resolution yes
terday to empower the committee
to make such an investigation.
Representative Woodrum, Demo-
crat, of Virginia, who also has pend
ing a measure for overhauling the
relief agency, indicated he had no
intention of making an issue of
it at this time.
Subcommitteemen generally have
taken the position that the request
| for $l50,000,000 is an emergency
proposition and that any investi-
CATION Of w. P. A. should be de-
ferred until the agency's program
for the year beginning July is
laid before Congress.
Woodrum Leads Fight.
Representative Woodrum, leading
the fight against the $3.50 ,O0O, 900 fund
said in radio address late yesterday
that previous hearing and those
now in progress will disclose that
hundreds of millions of dollars ap-
propriated by the Congress for relief
| OF needy American citizens have
not been expended for that purpose. +"
Il do not charge graft or corrup-
tion," he said, but I question the
judgment and challenge the wis
dom of many of these operations.
The Workers Alliance Of Amer
lea announced last night that an
"aI-Southern conference of w. p. A.
workers" would start in Washington
next Monday Ito secure immediate
action" on the Presidents request
for more relief funds.
