LABOR POLICIES
 TO BE BIG TEST
New Deal Awaits Congress. siOnal Action After First
 of Year
BY WILLIAM II. LAWRENCE United Press staff Correspondent

Washington, Dec. 27-(uPl New Deal labor policies appeared likely today to furnish the Initial test oi administration strength in the neXi session of Congress.
 With labor policies of the admin lStration probable major issue it the loi0 presidential campaign, the House and Senate probably will be confronted Wth these questions be- ftrc adjournmcut,
 Should the Wagner Act Itself be HMcndcd or should the personnel of the National Labor Relations beard be chanRed2
 Should the S4.3l6,770 appropriate el for wage-hour act ndmInistra- ti>n in the current fiscal year be increased, decreased, or continued aS the same level2
 What type of federal policy should be adopted as permanent method of dealing with maritime labor disputesp
 Should the ban on appointment Of military officers to civilian posts be- relaxed to permit President Roosevelt to appoint It. Col Philip Fleming as wogc-hour admlnistra- tor?
 Should the wage-hour division be Investigated by e special House CCmmlttee2
 Should the wages and hours act be amended2
 Three sets of wage-hour amend monts are certain to come up soon after Congress meets next Wednes- day Over administration protests the House rules committee last July approved rule calling up oil three Tor three hours of debate.
 one set sponsored by Chairman Mary T. Norton, b. N. d., of the House Labor committee had the ap- provnl of former Wage. Hour Ad. mlnlstrator Elmer P. Andrews and was designed to clarify complicated sections of the present law. exempt white collal" workers making over S200 per month from the act. and make plain the application of the { law to disputed groups of workers ln agricultural processing industries Those sponsored by Rep. Robert Ramspeck, b, Gn., arc similar, OK. ccpt that they do not go Into tho complicated "arca of production question and itS application to ug. rlculturnl processofs.
 The administration k opposed tt amendments sponsored by Rep Graham A. Bardcn, D., N, C., which also would come up under the rule adopted by the rules committee. His amendments would exempt certain agricultural proccssors, and the ad. minlstration contends that they would remove from 100000 to a. 100000 low paid workers from thc act. Bardens white collar worker amendment would exempt cmployCs earning more than Slb0 monthly.
 The Senate probably will begin consideration of proposed Wagner Act amendments before the House does. The Senate education and la. Dor committee has scheduled two more days Of hearings, Jan. i5si6, to hear President John l.. Lewis of the Congress of industrial organi2a- tlons and Cfo Vice President Philip Murray.

paign based on "black reaction, ''repeal the New Deal" or any such expressed or implied slogan, would be a dismal failure.
 Therefore he bases his claims of Republican victory on holding fast to adequate relief--but with more local administration; to farm rec lief-but under re-vamped Mc- Nary -Haugen plan; to the Wagner act--but amended to be more equit- able; to social security-but better administered; to bank deposit insur- ance--for which he claims much credit himself; to the RFC-which he credits to the last Republican administration: and to security and exchange regulation--but better ad- ministered.
 WANTS c. 0. F. TO
 MAKE NEW DEAL WORK
 Thus he bases the Republican claim to the voter on the theory that 1t takes c Democratic admins. tration to think up a lot of fine, pros gressive ideas, and a Republican one to make them work.
 Needless to say, this is not the approach to the campaign of Dewey, Hoover, or Taft, or to the wealthy, ultra conservative group which is looking for Q clark horse and which has given good deal of thought to Governor Bricker of Ohio. Much speculation has arisen here Ns to Vandenberg's motives. especially since ho pointed out that he has as much right to interpret Republican policy us anyone until the convention speaks.
 Does he seek to protect his party against a reaction against reac. tion2' Docs he see extreme con. Servative Republican candidates wearing themselves out in early campaigns doomed to failure, and q convention turning to Vandenberg as q coalition compromise candi- date' who can hold most of the reg. ular Republican vote, yet not an- tagontze too deeply relative pro. gressives and perhaps attract many of their votes7
 These are the questions being asked in Washington today.

Naugatuck, Aug. 25-An effort by Welfare Supt. Leo Scully made yes- terday, to ascertain how soon it will be before large number of former WPA workers, discharged more than a month ago, are returned to the WPA ranks, failed to yield concrete results.
 MT. Scully called the New Haven WPA headquarters and was in- formed by them that they did not yet know when the orders from the national headquarters will come through. These orders would per- init the return of the local WPA workers.
 The New Haven bureau promised to inform the local welfare depart ment immediately on receipt of the orders from the main headquarters.
 It is expected here that possibly close to 70 are eligible for reinstate- ment. There were 100 let go last month and a few have found pri- vate employment and places of about 27 others have been filled.
 The welfare department has had to bear the burden of some of those lad off.
