A Democratic Senator and q Re-

last night over whether the increas-

address that he could not bring
myself to believe that thrift and
economy are to be practiced regard
less of circumstances or that balanc-
ing the budget is the principal aim

Representative Otter, Republican,
OF Pennsylvania in another broad
cast address said:
In spite of the sound advice Of
many Of his party leaders, the Presi-
dent continues to look with favor
upon those in his confidence who
claim that the only way to recovery
is to spend ourselves into it. That
lies at the fundation of the finan-
cial mess that we find ourselves in"
Senator Green said: I'VE cannot
waste either capital or manpower
by letting them lie idle while last
ing Improvements need to be made
and human and natural resources
need to be employed. We tried the
tragic experiment Of letting private
business alone and keeping the
Government out of business in the
years which ended with President
Hoover That experiment ended
with long bread lines, millions of

businessmen in bankruptcy

That may be so, but the New

Senate Passes Bill
To Set Up Court for
Rail Bankruptcies
Fight by Clark
Group Fails to
Halt Action
~ the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press.
The Senate cleared its decks yes
terday Of another piece Of major
railroad relief legislation, approving
and sending to the House q bill to
set up . special five-judge Federal
court to expedite handling Of bank
rlptcy and receivership cases.
The measure was passed on 4
voice vote that left the opposition
unrecorded, but . group led by Sen
ator Clark, Democrat, Of Missouri
fought against passage until the last.
The Missourian, contending that
establishing the new court might
have disastrous and disgraceful re-
Suits" told his colleagues Thomas
q. Corcoran, youthful presidential
adviser, would select the judges.
The measure provides for their ap-
pointment by the President.
Calendar Nearly Cleared.
The Senate's action left only one
OF q series Of administrations -spon-
sored railroad bills still on its calen-
dar. 1t is a House-approved meas
ure which would permit carriers in
temporary financial difficulties to
obtain voluntary agreements from
stockholders for postponement Of
maturity dates on obligations.
The Senate previously had passed
. bill consolidating regulatory con-
troll Of all transportation, except
aerial, under the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Before approving the court bill,
the Senate voted down an amend
ment proposed by Senator Clark
which would have stripped the new
tribunal Of its judicial status. and a
proposal by Senator McCarran,
Democrat, of Nevada to send the
measure to the Judiciary Commit
tee tor study.
Senator Clark's remark that Mr..
Corcoran would choose the judges
came when Senator Adams, Demo-
crat, Of Colorado observed that
President Roosevelt had ignored"
the section of the country west Of
the Mississippi River in making high
judicial appointments.
Does the Senator from Colorado
doubt that any of the five men to
be selected by Mr.. Thomas g.
Corcoran would have all wisdom?"
Senator Clark asked
The MiSsourian argued that a
hve-man court, sitting in Wash
tngton, could not possibly be as
familiar with local conditions as
Federal judges operating in their
own districts.
Senator Adams said he was op-
posed to the tremendous con-
sentration Of power" In the new
tribunal.
Urges Publicity.
senator Walsh, Democrat, Of
Massachusetts, said rail bankruptcy
cases should be left in the hands
Of Federal district judges, but
urged that these judges be re-
quired to make public their rea-
sons for appointment Of any re-
eeivers and publicize all fees paid.
Proponents OF the bill for the
most part remained silent, con-
tenting themselves with letting the
opposition have its say. Senator
Austin. Republican. of Vermont
came to the general defense of the
bill. however, describing 1t as neces-
sary If rail bankruptcies and re-
ceiverships were to be expedited.
Besides setting up the new court,
the measure would revise the gen.
eral procedure of rail bankruptcy
and receivership cases. The In
terstate Commerce Commission
would be required to certify to
the new court certain standards
Of capitalization and forecasts of
earnings.

sibi1ities of the shoe, and who thought that enough
people might be interested locally to form large
enough group for building producers coopera-
tive. Since the entire project voluntary one,
and it die not meet the reqi reaent of 200 members
set by FIR. Mathews the plans laid down by the Matthew'S
Guild have been modified to craft club the members

also the charges for services rendered by lr. Ed
wards, his son, Gordon, and his secretary, in teach
ing the nathews sD e-maing teckniq que to Green

NEARING END

The helping hand extended to

school year, according to Ross
HaWorth, assistant administrator
of the local Works Progress Ad-

Haworth pointed out that the
project designed to prevent Grip
pied children from growing up in
ignorance was created as an emer-
gency measure.
At the time the project was es-
tablished, Haworth pointed out,
the Board of Education and the
District Commissioners agreed
that next year it should be car
ried on with funds from the regu-
lar District budget.
Refusal of the Federal Budget
Bureau to sanction the $4,000
appropriation requested by the
Commissioners came as a blow to
school board members who have

in the country today in consequence of the reci-
procity treaties which Secretary Hull has nego-
tiated and has PUT INTO EFFECT WITHOUT
THEIR RATIFICATION BY THE SENATE, as
the Constitution requires.
This resolution. if adopted, would merely put
the Senate on record asserting tnat these trade
agreements are, in reality, treaties
Now even if that resolution were adopted, it
would be purely academic. 1t would not invali-
date single one of the existing trade treaties.
If these treaties are invalid, they are invalid

tion would merely bring home to the people that
