Mr.. Roosevelt, in special mes
sage to congress yesterday, asked
for approximately 1852 100000 of
which s2lO,00O0O0 would be spent
il the fiscal year 1910; the remain
der would be in the form of con-
tract authorizations to be paid for
at future date This was in addi-
ton to more than $l,l00,0000 900
requested in the regular army and
navy budgets for fiscal 1910.
Although there was some con-
gressional opposition to the presi-
dents request that congress quick
ly act" on the program, it was
believed that the emergency and
regular appropriations would re-
ceive early consideration and even
tual approval.

Roosevelt Submits
Federal Research
Report 10 Congress
Urges Consideration
Of Compilation Of
Activities

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt commended
ito the consideration of the Con-
gress" today compilation of the
activities of Federal agencies in the
field of research.
The report, prepared by the Ma
tlonal Resources Committee, dis
cussed Federal research in, medi-
cine. agriculture, economics, public
administration, etc. 1t suggested
coordination of such efforts.
Mr.. RooSevelt'S message follows:
I transmit herewith for the in
formation of the Congress a report
entitled 'Research-a National Re-
source, compiled by the National
Resources Committee.
This report deals with the rela-
ton of the Federal Government to
research. Subsequent reports in
this field will cover research by COL
leges, universities and foundations,
by business organizations, by the
industrial laboratories, and by the
State and municipal governments.
New Emphasis on Science.
'"The dependence of civilization
on science is universally recognized,
but the extent of the activities of
private and public agencies carrying
on scientific inquiry is not generally
known 1t is unlikely that large
numbers of our people have any
adequate realization of the services
which are being rendered by the
executive agencies of the Federal
Government through scientific re-
searches in medicine. agriculture,
economics. public administration
and the other natural and social
sciences.
This report indicates the new
emphasis in recent years on activ-
tiles in the social science fields and
stresses the need for effective CO.
ordination of all agencies engaged
in research in order to achieve the
solution of many of our more diff
cult problems.
Il commend the report to the
consideration of the Congress-.
Steps Recommended.
In the report the committee rec
commended these steps:
Further studies on work of the
advisory committees which cooper
ate with Federal research agencies
and on research being done by
States and municipalities.
improvement in methods of re-
cruiting research workers for Gov
ernment service.
Authorization for Government
research agencies to contract for
cooperation with recognized pri-
vate research organizations.
Financial support for interna-
tlonal scientific meetings and en-
couragement of American partici-
patton in them.
Organization of Government re-
search SO as to avoid the possibil-
tiles of bias.
Further interrelation of govern
mental research agencies by organ
lzatlon Of central councils similar
to those formed by private re-
search.

Textile Setup in
Intensive Drive
New Fight With c. !: O.
For Control Presoeed
By Announcement

Presaging a new fight with the
Congress Of Industrial Organizations
for control of the Nations textile
workers, the American Federation of
Labor last night announced plans
to revamp the textile union setup
and inaugurate an intensive organ
izing campaign.
The program was mapped at a
three-day conference of textile union
officers, headed by Francis J. Cor
man, president Of the United Textile
Workers. and A. r. of L. officials.
The U. T. w., once an affiliate Of
the American Federation of Labor,
went over to the C. I. o. in 1887
under Mr.. Gorman's leadership, but
he split with the John L. Lewis
group few weeks ago, and an
nounced the union alliance had been
dissolved by a Rhode Island court
order-a contention disputed by the
C. o.
Under the plans announced last
night, the Executive Council of the
American Federation OF Labor which
meets In Miami next week will be
asked to reinvest the U. T. w. with
its international charter and later
convention will be held to reform
the U. T. w. lines. In the mean
time. however. the National Council
OF Textile Workers. formed by the
A. F. OF L. some time ago, will con-
tinue to function.
AS another step, q Southern Cot
ton Textile Federation is to be Or
ganized In Atlanta at q two-day
meeting the end of the week, under
the direction Of George Googe, one
of the Southern leaders of the A. F.
OF l.. Later, a similar group is to be
set up in the North.
Mr.. Googe was among the par
ticipants In the local meeting which
included representatives of the
woolen and worsted, cotton, silk.
dyeing and finishing. hosiery and
carpet branches CT the textile in

Miss Mary Anderson. director of

Department. declared in her annual

ployment Available data indicate
that men are encroaching in

dries. Office work. textiles, mems
clothing and confectionery.
More attention must be given to
Women's vocational training and
guidance. Community needs that
could be met by women entering
entirely new lines of employment
should be studied and developed.

sumers' groups be kept better in

Apparently, Senator Schwellen-
bacn had in mind the attack which
Senator Tydings, Democrat of
Maryland, made on the President
during Fridays debate, when Mr..
Tydlngs charged that the President
had improperly attempted to in
Huence the voters of Maryland in

You haven't been able to point
a finger at the President and his
administration in any such con-
nectlon, he said. He referred to
the Harding administration. Re-
publican administration, and char
acterized it as the greatest satur-
MALTA of corruption" in American
history.
six short years have not made
the Republican party pure said
Senator Schwellenbach, but it has
made the Republicans hungry"
He said he had read the report
of the Sheppard Campaign Expen-
ditures Committee and that the re-
markable thing about it was that
the committee had found so little
politics in the administration of
the w. P. A. He said that in his
own State he had never been able
to get any appointments of w. P. A.
officials. Most of them, he said
belonged to the Republican party.
Before the debate began today on
the Hopkins nomination, Senator
Byrnes of South Carolina had put
into the Congressional Record the
testimony of Averill Hartman,
chairman of the Business Advisory
Council of the Department of Com
merce, before the Senate Commerce
Committee. Mr.. Hartman in that
testimony strongly approved the
Hopkins appointment. The South
Carolina Senator also had the
clerk read the full list of the men,
bers of the cuncil, so prominent
business men.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan, wanted to know
whether Senator Bynes intended to
convey the impression that all the
members of the Business Council
had approved the Hopkins appoint
ment. Senator Byrnes pointed out
| that in his original statement he
had said Mr.. Hartman appeared be-
fore the Senate Committee as an
individual, although he is chairman
of the council He said he wished
to show the character of the men
who had elected Mr.. Hartman
chairman of the council and for
that reason had put their names in
the record. He also said three other
members of the council had an
nounced their willingness to appear
| before the Senate Committee in
support of Mr.. Hopkins.

of Virginia announced that he would

without the sanction of the ap-
pointing power Othe appointing
power in the case of Mr.. Hopkins
was the President.
Il subscribe to the view that the
President of the United States
should have the widest possible lati-
tude in selecting his advisers. If he
wants men of Mr.. Hopkins type I
will do nothing to prevent his hav-
ing them. Mr.. Hopkins can't give
him any worse advice than some
of the people who surround him.
Furthermore I do not think that Mr.
Hopkins could do as much harm as
Secretary Of Commerce as in the
Office of w. P. A. administrator. I
don't want to have to explain my
vote, however, should I cast it in
favor of Mr. Hopkins confirmation "
Senator Glass said he had opposed
the lump sum appropriations made
by Congress for relief spending. He
said he did not believe that Senators
could have been SO simple as not
to know that politics would creep
into its spending.
White Discusses Abuses.
Senator White, Republican, of
Maine, a member of the Senate
Campaign Expenditures Committee
which reported politics in w. P. A..
discussed in some detail political
abuses found in Kentucky. The
Maine Senator said he refused to
accept the theory that because Mr.
Hopkins appointment was to a
cabinet post his appointment should
be confirmed.
L shall vote against his confirma
ton" said the Maine Senator. THE
freedom of the ballot is in jeopardy
If those in distress are compelled to
vote as directed"
Senator Minton, Democrat, OF
Indiana said he was a little aston
ished that the Senator of Maine
should be so outraged at the puny
charges about w. P. A. political
activity. Senator Minton said that
In 1886 he had been a member of the
Campaign Expenditures Committee
and that it had been necessary to
investigate the Maine situation
where Senator White was a candi-
| date for reelection.
They have statute up there,
said Senator Minton. which says
that a pauper cannot vote. The
attorney general of the State held
that man on the w. P. A. relief
was pauper and couldn't vote and
the Republican organization was
using that old statute because it We
toed the vote.
Neely Urges Confirmation.
The Senator from Maine never
mad a word to say about it. The
| committee listened in vain. But
the Senator was ready to take the
advantage that came to him. The
senate Committee called to public
attention what was being done ir
Maine and the situation was clari-
iieo and a new Interpretation OF
the law was given, and the w. P. A
workers were allowed to vote"
Senator Minton said the Senate
committee this year should have
looked into "a hookup between thu
Townsend clubs and the Republican
party in Maine"
Senator Nicely, Democrat, of West
Virginia strongly approved the ap.
pointment of Mr.. Hopkins and urged
confirmation by the Senate.
Mt
tarnish the name and sully the rep.
utation Of Harry Hopkins have beer
entirely fruitless," said Senator
Nicely. "The mountain once laboret
and brought forth a miserable, littl
cockeyed mouse. But the enemie
have brought nothing forth. A NOR
