Politicians Puzzle Over TVA Reaction No Agreement That Roosevelt Will Be Benefited by Su- preme Court's Ruling Washington, Teb. 18.—(P)—A battle of books for and against New Deal fiscal policy and the threatened physical encounter between Father Charles E. Coughlin and Rep. John 3. O'Connor occupied Tuesday, but they gave most atten- tion to the supreme court’s TVA decision. While on first blush, many felt President Roosevelt would benefit from the court's favorable decision, there was no agreement on this. Some, both friendly and unfriendly to the administration, believed the decision might prevent the supreme court and the constitution from de- veloping into s predominant cam- paign issue. Many Democrats have felt that if the supreme court followed up its in- validation of AAA, with decisions junking the TVA, the Wagner labor act, and other New Deal laws, large numbers of persons would rally against the court or the constitution Happy crats, particularly south, will be glad if the court issue is less dominant in the coming cam- Party leaders also wondered Tues- day whether the decision would not throw the power issue more promi- nently into the campaign than would have been the case if the court had held the other way. Divergent opinions on government fiscal policy came from two former treasury officials, Former Secretary Ogden L. Mills, in his book “Liberalism hts On,” published Tuesday, declared that balancing of the budget “is of over- whelming importance to the welfare of the nation.” He said “all the ele- ments of a great explosion” have On the other hand, Chester T. Crowell, writer and former special assistant in the treasury, defended devaluation of the dollar, managed currency, the public debt and gov- ernment lending. * In a pamphlet, “Recovery Unlimit- ed,” published Tuesday, Crowell de- clared: “This is the first time we have ever come out of a depression under our own power. We turned the job over to President Roosevelt and he has done it.” Crowell attacked business for not Gistributing wealth more adequately during boom years. Coughlin Is Silent ‘There was still no official word as to when Father Coughlin, Detroit radio priest, would come here to face the threat of Representative O'Con- nor (Dem., N. Y.), to kick him along Pennsylvania Avenue. Friends here“said Father Coughiin would arrive Tuesday to “take up that challenge,” but the word at Royal Oak, Mich., was that he would come a week from Wednesday. O'Connor, chairman of the house tules committee, has been described by the clergyman as a “money changers’ servant” who is throttling the Frazier-Lemke mortgage refi- nancing bill. O'Connor, in a new statement issued. Monday, said the “Catholic church is ashamed” of Father Coughlan. 34 Sheridan County Pupils End Courses McClusky, N.

POLICEMEN ON DUTY AT STRUTWEAR FIRM Operations Resumed on Small Scale; Only Disturbance Is Window Breaking Minneapolis, Feb. 18—()—A score Of policemen were on duty Tuesday at the Strutwear Knitting company plant which resumed operations on @ small scale Monday after being shut down most of the time since last August. Several windows were broken by missiles thrown from an automobile passing the place late Monday. A group of pickets gathered at the plant also. Union men have charged that the company discriminated against their members and have asked wage and hour adjustments. The firm’s offi- cials have claimed the majority of their 1,100 employes desire to work but have been prevented from do- ing so by disturbances at the plant. Pickets, bystanders and police have clashed on several occasions. ‘Recall of Burke for His Farm Vote Asked Chappell, Neb., Feb, 18.—(#)—Peti- tions were in circulation here Tuesday for the recall of Senator Edward R.

J., Feb. 18.—()—Prepa- ration of a new death warrant for Bruno Richard Hauptmann added a pointed element of haste Tuesday to defense efforts. » Joseph Lanigan, assistant attorney general of New Jersey, said he would ask Supreme Court Justice Thomas W.

NARROW ESCAPES FROM DEATH ARE LOT OF TRAVELERS Stranded Motorist Freezes Legs as He Mistakes Windmill for Farm House Hair-raising escapes but no deaths have resulted from the cold stage in North Dakota, according to informa- tion received by The Tribune. Near New England Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Collins and their daughter Eunice had @ narrow escape when their auto was stuck in a snow drift. Collins, an employe of the state sales tax department, froze his legs when he walked to a windmill, think- ing it was a farm house. Instead it was in the center of a pasture. He was practically helpless when he struggled back to his car, and he and his wife and daughter were slowly freezing when William Ferdinandson, @ traveling salesman, found them and took them into his car. Ferdinandson also got stuck in a snowdrift but this was near a farm- house where the group took shelter. They were taken to New England by @ truck. Miss Collins had just been released from a Bismarck hospital following an operation when she un- derwent the ordeal. No one in the party was seriously frost-bitten. Another report from the New Eng- land area said three chimney fires occurred there last Thursday as house- holders stocked their stoves to meet emperatures of 20 below zero. Dr. W. H. Gilsdorf, Carl Miller and Miller's daughter bucked snowdrifts from New England to Dickinson where the girl entered the hospital for an emergency operation. At Coleharbor Charles Rothert of Minot and his partner stopped to Circuitous Manner of Financing New Farm Program Has Observers Puzzling By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, the Associated Press, Washington, D. C.) The circuitous manner in which it is proposed to finance the new farm program raises a point about which there already are signs of growing Political controversy. Under the old AAA legislation, the farm benefits and the taxes to pay them were written into a single stat- ute and so linked together as to show clearly that the purpose was to tax processors and give the money to farmers. Invalidating that law, the supreme court observed that “the word (taxation) has never been thought to connote the expropria- tion of money from one group for the benefit of another.” With that decision obviously in mind, congressional leaders now Propose to scatter the new program through no less than three different statutes—one providing for the bene- fits, one authorizing an appropria- tion to pay them, and a third pro- posing certain taxes without specify- eS eee Some of the Republicans call this wait until the roads were cleared. They decided to sleep in the truck and kept the motor running in order to keep warm. During the night Rothert awoke feeling queer. Stumbling out into the open air he froze his fingers before finally stumbling into the hotel to ask for help. The other man was dragged from the truck unconscious as a result, of inhaling carbon monoxide gas. Both recovered and left for Minot the next day. heavy, Red Sole, all sizes Black Sole, all sizes .

What Might Happen The old-age benefit section of the largest New Deal/security act alone contemplates that eventually a reserve of $47,000,000,- 000—bigger by half than the pres- The original railway pension act)ent national debt—will be built up provided both for railway pensions and for taxes to finance them.

Emanuel Levi, president of the Southern Newspaper Publishers’ ase sociation, recently pictured what might happen when, in the future, a bill is proposed to meet the current expense of the old-age security plan, “You know from experience,” said Levi, “what the temper, the attitude and the make-up of an average cone gress is. The bill is up for discuse sion and a congressman calls atten- tion to the fact that there is already in this fund several billions of dole lars and that for several years the income has far exceeded the outgo. He calls attention to the many other good purposes to which this idle fund could be placed, reciting a few of his own pets as well as those of many others. You guess the out- come.” Certainly the political involve- ments of this manner of legislating, as well as its economic and consti- tutional aspects, hint at highly in- teresting possibilities.
