David Lewis Confirmed
Without Opposition

The Senate late yesterday con-
firmed former Representative David
J. Lewis of Maryland for appoint
ment to the National Mediation
Board.
Approval came a few hours after
Senator Tydings had announced he
would not ask Senators to interpose
any objection to the nominee, who
made an unsuccessful race against
the Senator in the Democratic pri-
mary last year.
Mr.. Lewis ended long period of
service in the House when he decided
last summer to enter the senatorial
primary instead of seeking renomi-
nation as Representative from the
Western Maryland district. Presi-
dent Roosevelt recently sent in his
appointment to the mediation board.
Meanwhile, Dr. William M. Leiser-
son, whom Mr. Lewis succeeds on the
Mediation Board was sworn in as
the newest member of the National
Labor Relations Board and immedi-
ately sat down with his colleagues
to hear a case involving organized
labor in the garment trades.
Attorneys for the Alpena (Mich.)
Garment Co. and the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union
argued about the right of the union
to represent some 700 employees of
the Alpena concern.

Economy Bloc Loses
As Senate Restores
$50,000,00O Cut
Administration Also
Defeated in Vote on
Flood and River Bill

The economy bloc lost another
IN its fight for retrenchment when
the Senate late yesterday restored to
the War Department civil functions
bill $50,000,OO0 the Appropriations
Committee had cut from House fig
ures for food control and river and
harbor projects.
This sends the $3O5, 10000 meas
ure back to the House, but only for
action on a minor amendment. The
$4,000, 900 taken out temporarily by
the Senate committee already had
House approval, although not rec
commended by the Budget Bureau.
Administration Loses.
A minute administration move
to prevent restoration by pro-
posing to use S5O.0O0,00O of the next
relief appropriation for the same
purposes failed.
Majority Leader Barkley of Ken
tucky said he had been authorized
by the President to say that $50
100000 would be allocated from re-
lief funds. Supporters of the full
amount countered with the argu-
ment that, if it is to be made avail
able later, Congress might as well
restore it to the civil functions bill,
making sure it would be spent on
the projects listed in the Appropria-
ton Committee hearings.
Extra S50,o0O,O00 Forecast.
Senator Barkley contended, how
ever, that restoration of the amount
to this bill probably would not
prompt Congress to subtract $50
OOOOO0 later on from the next re-
lief bill.
Senator Adams. Democrat, of Colo
RADIO, who earlier in the session
fought against the administration in
bringing about a S50000,000 reduc-
ton in w. P. A. funds for the clos
ing months of this fiscal year, yester-
day found the White House on his
side in trying to hold down the civil
functions bill. When the debate
was over, however, there was not
sufficient support for the committee
reduction to obtain roll call vote,
and the House figures were restored
on voice vote.

reorganization program. The Sen ate later removed the harness, but not before the press conference.
 He left with some the impress sion that he was not fully sold on the tax program. However, he added at the conclusion of the con- ference that he was still study ing it.
 Now on it's face that would give some justification for belief that the Treasury tax men were work ing in one direction and the Presi- dent scuttling them in another. An interpretation from good source comes to us to put another light on it.
 It must be remembered for for six years President Roosevelt has done anything but pursue a policy of appeasement. Our informant suggests that for him now to re- verse his policy completely would be to take step that might be diff ficult for him politically, without lending any real comfort to busi- ness.

NEW TAX LAWS?

A large segment of business would be unlikely to take any ap- basement move directly from him too trustingly in any event.
 But while the President declines to face in a new direction after these six years, there are those close to him who let it be known that they do not expect the Presi- dent to beat back tax appeasement proposals if they are submitted to him in the form of finished legis- lation.
 Both the Treasury and House and Senate tax members are talk ing with special interest of wiping out the very intricate check and balance system simple tax to reach uniformly to all corporations earn ing above $25,000 yearly. Those earning below $25,000 are pretty certain to enjoy measure of spe- cial treatment they now receive.
