FARLEY CONCEDES NEED IN TALK AT BALTIMORE Predicts Speed in New Congress, and Definite Program in Roosevelt Message. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. The immediate and unfavorable re- action in many quarters to the Demo- ! eratic budget-balancing plan evolved at {8 conference in New York between ! President-elect Roosevelt and congres- sional leaders has given the Demo- crats & taste of the troubles they face in assuming control of the Gov- ernment. Despite the fact President Hoover still sits in the White House and the Republicans have a nominal control of the Senate, the control of legislative programs has virtually passed already to the Democrats. For that reason the New York conference on budget balanc- ing and other important matters took on added significance. The Democrats in that conference laid down a definite fiscal program. Included in it was a proposal to “lower the base” of the income tax by reduc- ing exemptions and to increase the normal income tax rates. This is the feature which has aroused a storm of resentment—which is not confined to Republicans. Good Chance Given Beer Bill. It does not appear now that this part of the program can be put through at the present session of Congress. A second feature, the final enactment into law of the beer bill and the levy of the proposed tax on beer, may go through the Senate and be sent to the President. Mr. Hoover 5o far has made no_ public announcement of his atti- tude toward the beer bill. It has been icted both that he would and that e would not sign the measure. The income tax feature of the tax plan of the Democrats plus the beer tax were expected to take care of $265.- 000,000 of the $492,000,000 deficit, esti- mated .by the President. The other $227,000,000 was to be cared for by ! cutting the appropriations for the next | Ea fiscal year $100,000,000 below the budget estimate and by the re-enactment of the present Federal tax on gasoline, cal- culated to raise $127,000,000. With a practical certainty that the ‘budget balancing program of the Demo- crats cannot be written into law, it is obvious that a new program must be evolved now and put through or the budget balancing must go over to th8 next Congress, with a special session soon after Mr. Roosevelt takes office March 4. ‘The income tax features of the Demo- cratic plan do not please either those Democrats who favor the general manu- facturers’ sales tax or the more pro- gressive Democrats who attack the sales tax. Nor does it please the allies of the Democrats in the Senate, the Pro- gressive Republicans. It seems more clear than ever, there- fore, that the talk by the Democratic conferees in New York of their hopes of avoiding a special session of the new Congress is idle. Farley Speaks in Baltimore. Apparently realizing the situation, the Democrats already are attacking the Republicans in Congress and the Presi- dent on the theory they can impress the country with the responsibility of the Republicans for a special session after March 4. At a Jackson day dinner in Baltimore last night, James A. Farley, chairman of the Democratic National Commit- tee, conceded that there would be need for the call of a special session. He said the expected failure of the beer bill through a presidential veto would make it necessary. Mr. Farley said: “Nobody is smoothing his (Roose- velt's) way for him. We have already had a foretaste in the events of the present Congress of what he has to expect from the opposition.” He referred to the failure of the House to put through the resolution for the repeal of the eighteentl amend- ment which he attributed to the “lame duck” Republicans who voted aga'nst the resolution. Mr. Farley continued that a veto of tk¢ beer bill by the President would be a second oppor tunity for the “lame ducks” to “do their treacherous stuff.” “It is really not extraordinary,” sasl Mr. Farley, “that the dying Republican NEW CHARGE LODGED AGAINST HALLORAN Information Is Filed Accusing Lumberman as Accessory in Judd Slaying. ¥ v By the Associated Press.

By the Assoclated Press. HYDE PARK, N. Y, January 7.— Cabinet selections and future policies commanded the attention today of President-elect Roosevelt as he silently watched the row in Washington over income tax increases to balance the budget. Content that the congressional Dem- ocrats are going to go to the end of the road at this session to balance the budget, Mr. Roosevelt is leaving the de- tails to them and is ready to support the income tax boost they proposed as one means at Friday night's parley. Announcement that Senator Walsh of Montana, veteran Senate prosecutor of the ofl scandals investigation of the Harding administration, would be a caller here tomorrow, revived specula- tion over the cabinet. He has been prominently mentioned for Attorney General. Pinchot Also to Call. Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania, Re- publican independent, who has been at constant odds with the Hoover admin- istration, also will be a caller at the Hyde Park Roosevelt estate on the Hudson River tomorrow.

Mr. Roose- velt said he was a private citizen and the Secretary of State could make the announcement. The Secretary has con- tended he is to be a guest of Roosevelt and it was up to the latter to speak up. However, Stimson late today named Monday as the meeting time. It is believed the fact that the Hoover administration so quickly an- nounced the request of Roosevelt for the Stimson conference led Mr. Roosevelt to leave future announcements of it to the White House. ‘The decision of the President-elect to take up personally with Secretary Stim- son the intricate threads of interna- tional affairs at this time also has led to the belief that he has cetermined upon his Secretary of State.

He also has indicated an intention to say nothing about who will comprise his official family in Washington until late next month.

An unexploded shotgun shell, from which the powder had been removed apparently by hand, was found late last night within easy arm’s throw of the spot in front of Mrs. Elva Gibson's home where Miss Kirk parked her car Friday night. Only one shell was found. Officials said it would require powder from a number of shells to caute an explosion as great as that which killed Miss Kirk. Mrs. Gibson escaped miraculously the fate of her long-time friend seated be- side her, but was confined to the rec- tory tonight, suffering from shock and a twisted ankle.

BLAINE GROUP ACTS ON BEER THIS WEEK Redraft to Meet Possible Constitutional Objections Suggested. By the Assoclated Press. A Senate Judiciary Committee last night made ready to act on the House 3.2 per cent beer bill after a public hearing at which friends and foes of the legislation bombarded the members with conflicting views on the constitu- tionality of the measure. Half a dozen representatives of or- ganizations supporting prohibition as- sailed the bill as a proposal to “nullify” the Constitution and said it would legalize traffic in intoxicating liquor. A lone defender of the bill, Repre~ sentative James M. Beck, Republican, Pennsylvania, said it came within the “field of legislative discretion” and pre- dicted the Supreme Court would up- hold i. ‘The hearing ended in a discussion between Beck and Bishop James Can- non, jr, on the question of whether the wine used in the biblical marriage sacrament at Cana was fermented and » controversy over the significance of the recent election. Subcommittee to Meet. Following the hearing, Chairman Blaine announced the subcommittee would meet early this week to act on the bill. He suggested it might be redrafted to eliminate possible consti- tutional objections. The full Judiciary Committee will meet tomorrow to consider a favorable | report from Blaine's committee on a resolution to repeal the -eighteenth amendment, protect dry States and per- | mit Congress to legislate against the saloon. The hearing yesterday, attended by only two of the five subcommittee mem- bers, lasted but four hours, though it was scheduled for six. Opponents of the bill used all the time allotted to them, but no one appeared to defend the measure except Beck.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 7.—United States District Attorney George 2. Medalie said today he had definite evidence of fraud and intimidation at the polls in the seventeenth assembly district last November 8. This composes part of the congres- sional district now represented by | Fiorella H. La Guardia, Republican de- feated in the Democratic sweep. The district attorney was questioned concerning reports that differences in figures in election reports and those recorded in a canvass were sufficiently in La Guardia’s favor to cause the Representative to protest. “That assumption is not justified by the facts we have in hand,” Medalie said. “Ten Inspectors Missing.” From his assistants, Medalie said, he had knowledge that “at least 10 election inspectors, Democratic and Republican, are missing and that they gave fictitious addresses.” “We also have evidence that a person went into the voting places of a number of the election districts in the seven- teenth and in each ran up a large number of votes on the machnes,” he asserted. Medalie declined to disclose whether the votes were cast Democratic or Re- publican, or to reveal the man's name. He said he had evidence that cur- tains or voting machines in five of the seventeenth district’s booths were torn “obviously for the purpose of allowing inspectors or others to look at voters as they cast their vote and see how they voted.” In 18 out of the 32 districts in the seventeenth Medalie said that the “write-in vote” for former acting Mayor Joseph McKee was not counted at all, and that any vote reported was fictitious. Medalie said his investigators had “gone over only 11 districts in La Guardia’s congressional district, and in one of these Mr. La Guardia was cred- ited with only 9 votes but received 90.

NEW DEFECTIONS SEEN IN HITLERITE RANKS Two Nazi Leaders Given Vacations to Visit Italy Deny Inter- pretation. By the Associated Pres: BERLIN, January 7.—The announce- ment that the Nazi chief of staff, Capt. Ermst Roehm, and the Naz leader in Berlin, Count Wolf Henrick von Hell- dorf, had been given vacations permit= ting them to go to Italy was seen today by the opposition as a further split in Adolf Hitler’s ranks. This interpretation, however, promptly denied by the two men. It was recalled, nevertheless, that the | defection of Gregor Strasser, National Soclalist leader, was announced as & “vacation” early in December when he resigned his post as Nazi organizer be- cause of his ill health and quit the party.

This detail also was re- called today by persons inimical to Hit- ler and the Nazis as a reason why they think a rift has occurred. It was further pointed out by the op- position that possibly Capt.
