Under the rationing program, Mr..
Henderson told the House commit
tee. it will be necessary to decide
what is the most equitable distribu-
ton for civilian supply"
StoppaEe Not Foreseen.
Until the developments in the Pa
cific, Mr.. Henderson said at the
outset of the hearing, the possibility
of an absolute Stoppage of automo-
bile production had never been con-
templated. He agreed with Repre-
sentatice Halleck, Republican, of In
diana that the automobile industry
might devote sufficient facilities to
defense needs and still turn out 20
per cent of the ordinary annual
production, 'if they could get the
vital materials necessary" But he
held out no hope for this.
Many of the dealers who have
testified at the hearing, which
started yesterday, have expressed
the hope that some limited produc-
ton might be undertaken to keep
them in business.
On the subject of used cars, Mr.
Henderson told the committee that
I'VE want to 60 as far as we can to
keep this necessary service going,
and to see that as many dealers
as possible remain in that business. "
At the same time, he emphasized
that I'VE must maintain a high ra-
ito Of repair work"
Kelly Is Critical.
Representative Kelly, Democrat,
of Illinois, was critical of the fact
that the Government put clamp
on the retail automobile business
without any advance notice to the
dealers, but the witness insisted
that III defend what we did in
freezing at any time
1t was at this juncture that Mr.
Henderson told of the plans to per-
nit dealers to complete the sales
negotiated before the first of the
year, but it was brought out that
adequate proof of the contract will
have to be furnished in each in
stance.
The sales will be subject to the
prospective price ceiling.
Mr.. Henderson said that under the
tire rationing program, particular
attention was being given to the re.
placement needs of defense workers
delivery trucks and clergymen. Rep
resentative Bulwinkle, Democrat, Of
North Carolina said he had hearc
of a case where tires were deniec
milk distributors and given to liquor
dealers. Mr.. Henderson said HI

I'VE have been able to say to

Roosevelt Proposes
Court Jurisdiction in
Claims Against u. 5.
Asks Other Changes
In Routine Functions
Of Government

President Roosevelt proposed to
Congress today that authorization
be granted to the executive and
judicial departments for handling
TWO routine functions of Govern
ment now requiring material time
and expense OF the legislative
branch
These functions, which Mr.. Roose-
welt described as of lesser import
ance at a time of war. were the
handling of private CLANS and au-
thorizing construction Of bridges
over navigable waters.
For the former, Mr.. Roosevelt
proposed that the departments and
independent agencies be empowered
to adjust and determine claims up
to $1,000, with review by the Attor-
ney General for awards over $500.
For claims up to $500, he suggested
that jurisdiction be given to United
States District Courts with the right
OF appeal to the Court OF Claims.
Less Than 20 Per Cent Passed.
Regarding the bridge construction
problem, the President suggested
that responsibility for authorizing
construction and maintenance Of
such structures be vested In the
Secretary Of War.
The President pointed out that
more than 1000 private claim bills
are introduced in each Congress, and
that less than 20 per cent of $500
submitted during the last three
Congresses were enacted. OF all
legislation vetoed during this period,
the President added, fully one-third
fell in this classification of private
claims.
"It is estimated" he said, "that the
expenses of the executive and legis-
lative branches in considering the
claim bills of each Congress, = =
are in the neighborhood of $l25 900;
that the printing cost alone Of the
claim bills which fail to become law
are almost SIG, 900 per Congress; and
that it costs almost 5000 to pass a
single bill. When it Is considered that
some claim bills are enacted in
amounts much less than 5000 the
wisdom of our present procedure Is
questionable.
Congressional approval Of his pro-
posal on the claim procedure would
be OF real assistance to the Congress
and to the President, at a time when
matters of grave national impor-
tance demand an ever increasing
share OF our attention" Mr.. Roose-
welt said.
Still Could Act.
The President pointed out that
Congress could still retain the right
to grant additional relief If it should
be felt that claimants are not re-
ceiving justice in full.
With regard to expediting the
bridge construction procedure, the
President recalled there had been
more than 100 public enactments
Of this type during the Twenty sixth
Congress. Each of these, he added,
cost money and consumed time of
the legislators, the War Department
and the White House.
Concluding his recommendations
Mr.. Roosevelt said:
These two matters may seem Of
little importance in these difficult
days, but I am certain that the
Congress will sympathize with the
efforts am making to save motion
IN the conduct of the Government"
