Farm Bureau Head Says His Plan Vir- tually Parallels Democrats’. PEORIA, Iil. January 27 (). —Pres- ident Edward A. O'Neal of the Amer- ican Farm Bureau Federation last night said the agricultural program of hi: organization was virtually parallel with that of President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt “We are approachi administration v pectations that a square deal « possessed, largely because the ir President has worked with farm groups and knows their language.” O'Neal said at the annual banquet of the Illinois Agricultural Association Before more than 2,000 Farm Bureau members, he described efforts of agri- cultural organizations at Washington to obtain enactment of legislation for the incoming greater ex- iture will be given the control of surplus commodities, eas- | ing of mortgage burde: and the in flation of currency to an ‘“honest” basis O'Neal said the President-elect has announced his intention of working closely with farm leaders in putting into effect a program for higher prices and debt relief he outlined during cam- paign. Indications are, he added, that the President-elect would create a na- tional agricultural conference board, with which the Farm Bureau expects to co-operate Last week.” O'Neal said. “'I conferred with the President-elect in Washington and secured his definite promise that he still supports everything he said in his ‘Topeka speech in regard to farm mort- gages and surplus control.” JOB COMMITTEE ASKS DATA ON D. C. PLANS Wants Information So Unemployed Can Be Ascigned to Places on Government Projects. ‘The recently created committee of District officials to direct the work of assigning unemployed persons to jobs on Government projects during 1933, at its first meeting yesterday asked for work plans for the year from each of the District’s engineering departments, the public schools and the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks. These plans will be considered and in- tegrated at another meeting of the committee next Mcnday at 10 o'clock. The plans of each department will show for each of the 12 months of the year the jobs which will be carried out and the number of unemployed persons who can be given work on each indi- vidual job. 3 The work of assigning men to these jobs will remain as it is at present. The unemployed persons receive work cards from the employment relief agency headed bv Leroy A. Halbert and take them to the District Committee on Employment. which will assign the men to the various jobs outlined in the work plans, MANTIS EGGS FOUND First Mass of Embyro of Chinese Species Discovered in Park.

The President-elect believes that the | debt question cannot be separated from | the “principal economic question— tariffs and stabilization of currencies. | The British seem to think at the pres- | ent moment that they cannot reach any | permanent or even' temporary agree- {ment on these matters unless all the other creditor nations are drawn into these conversations. and in any case they believe that all the economic sub- Jects which Mr. Roosevelt has in mind should be discussed at the International Economic Conference. Mr. Roosevelt knows that unless there is some counterpart for an eventual debt reduction it will be difficult to convince the Congress—which is the final authority on the debt settlement— | to accept any decision the two govern- | mental agencies may be able to reach. “ Would Await Meeting. | Consequently, it is believed by those close to the President-elect that any | further exchanges of notes would be damaging and that the best thing to |do is to let the British representatives |come to Washington and discuss even | informally the other question on which the settlement of the debts depends. They will realize soon enough the im- portance of having the other matters discussed, and it is thought that they eventually will yield to an absolute necessity when they will realize that unless they were discussed a debt set- tlement will be impossible. FUND OF $625000 " FOR DISTRICT RELIEF | IS VOTED BY HOUSE ! (Continued From First Page.) | 30, passed the House several days later, was reported to the Senate January 9 and passed the Senate January 12. tained only items of urgent importance | | for many activities of the Government, for the satisfaction of judgments ren- | dered against the Government and for | payment of authorized claims against | the Government in accordance with law. Bill Carried $31,756,535. That bill, as agreed upon by both houses in its final form, and as pre- sented to the President, appropriated a total of $31,756,535.72. of which the sum of $28,000,000 was for the payment |of refunds of internal revenue taxes erroneously or illegally collected by the | Bureau of Internal Revenue. Attached |to this appropriation for refunds was | legislation to provide for an audit and | final determination by the Joint Com- mittee on internal revenue taxation | of refunds or credits in excess of $20.- 000 of income and certain other in- | ternal revenue taxes. It was this legis- |lation to which the President objected in returning the bill, without his sig- nature. The vetoed bill offered an appropria- | tion of $625,000, payably wholly from the revenues of the District of Colum- bia, for the relief of District residents who are unemployed or otherwise in distress because of the present emer- gency. The previous funds for this relief have become exhausted. Chair- man Byrnes explained to the House, and the situation shortly will become most critical for these unfortunate peo- ple, he added, unless the appropriation in this bill is speedily made available. Additional Items Inserted. | He explained that the new bill in- | cludes all of the items agreed upon { by both houses in the vetoed bill with | the cxception of the appropriation of 23,000,000 for tax refunds. The amount of this bill, therefore. is 6.535.72. Besides the item of tax refund, the present bill is identical with the former bill as it passed the House, with the following additions: | Expenses of the Senate, $94,040; ex- | penses of the inaugural ceremonies, | $35,000; Disarmament Conference at | Geneva, Switzerland, $150,000; payment |of judgments and authorized claims, | certified to Congress after the bill had passed the House, $55.975.15, making a | total of $335,015.15, added in the Senate. | ““In view of the urgent necessity of the appropriation for emergency unem. ployment relief in the District of Co- |items which in its opinicn will not in- voke undue delay in its passage. The item of $28.000,000 for tax refunds has | been eliminated entirely and its recon- sideration postponed.” o Aeronautical C. of C. Elects Head. NEW YORK, January 27 (P)— Thomas A.

And for the Department | of Labor several candidates have been put forward, including Miss Perkins of New York, Daniel J.

If Henry Wallace is to go into the cabinet as Secretary of Agriculture. it would not appear likely that Mr. Roose- | velt would turn to another of the pro- gressive Republicans, as for example, Senator Cutting. for a cabinet office. The name of Walsh of Montana has been connected in gossip here with the office of Secretary of State in the event he should not become Attorney Gen- eral. However, it is believed the Sen- {ator would feel perfectly at home in the |office of Attorney General, because of | his long legal training and ability. | Glass’ Age Cited. 1 Senator Glass recently celebrated his | seventy-fifth birthday anniversary.’ That and the fact that he has served before s Secretary of the Treasury and | Tesigned that post to enter the Senate, | have been given as reasons which | might impel him to decline an invita- | tion to enter the Roosevelt cabinet. On the other hand, the attacks made upon | {him by Senators Thomas of Oklahoma | and Long of Louisiana, during the con- | | sideration of the Glass bank reform bill {in the Senate last week, are not cal- | culated to keep Senator Glass out of | | the Treasury Department. His appoint- | ment to the office of Secretary of the | Treasury would be widely acclaimed. The information at hand in Wash- ington today is that Mr. Young is defi- | | nitely out of the picture as Secretary of State, due to the fact that he is| needed in the positions which he now occupies in the business world. He is head of the board of the General Electric Co., among other things. | Mr. Baruch’s name has been men- | | tioned for the office of Secretary of the | Treasury as well as those of State | |and Commerce. However, it has been believed that Mr. Roosevelt would look | elsewhere than New York and Wall | Street for a head of the Treasury De- partment, and in addition to Senator ‘ Glass, former Representative J. Swager Sherley of Kentucky, & close adviser of the President-elect, has been discussed as a possible Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Sherley was chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations while he was in Congress. ROOSEVELT SILENT. | Waves Aside “Washington Stories” | About Cabinet. | WARM SPRINGS, Ga. January 21 (/P).—President-clect Roosevelt today waved aside Washington newspaper | stories about who was going to be his cabinet and asserted again that no formal offers have been made. It is apparent, however, that he has been studying those he wants in the | cabinet, including Senators Glass of | Virginia and Walsh of Mentana, and | that the list is taking definite shape. Naturally, Mr. Roesevelt wants to name his own selections and has not given the slightest intimation of who he has in mind. The speculation is on his recent conferences. Only one post is regarded as defi- nitely filled—James A. Farley of New York, the Roosevelt campaign manager, as _Postmaster General. Every sign points to the fact that the President-elect has indicated to Senator Glass that the Treasury port- folio is his for the taking and fo Sen- ator Walsh that the Attorney General- ship could be his. Roosevelt callers also have stated that he wants a representative of the Republican indepsndents at his official council table. Senators Norris of Nebraska, Johnson of California and Cutting of New Mex- ost likely to Repriblican inde- ico are regarded as the be gnfl:d from the pendent group. But_whether any of thess would | we cannot tell.” {should be kept as & available is also regarded as speculative. ‘The veterans’ administrator said he was not certain as to the causes which brought the drop in the May rate of increase. “I do not know whether it is due to the present agitation on veterans' re- lief.” 5 “whether it is a case of the men being afraid to com= in and have their cases reviewed or whether it is the general economy wave on veterans' relief, or other matters. Principal items going to make up the $966.838.634. in addition to disability allowances were: Administration, in- cluding medical and hospital services, $110.428.284: Army and Navy pensions, $219,930.000; military and naval insur- ance. $134,000.000, and adjusted service certificates fund. $100.000.000 ‘There were in November, 1932. Hines said, 336.817 veterans receiving disabil ity growing out of or aggravated World War service and 438.877 veterans drawing allowances who had no service connected disability. The hearings on the bill also revealed that the Farm Board estimates that $200,000,000 of assets gye left out of its $500.000,000 revolving fund. This figure was given the Appropriations Subcommittee by Chairman James C. Stone. Included in the $200.000.000 was a $42.719.088 item representing the cost of wheat and cotton donations to the Red Cross. Opposes Discontinuing Board. “I do not think it would be fair to account that as a loss against us” Stone explained. “because that was given away by Congress.” Representative Summers, Republican, of Washington, asked Stone’s opinion of discontinuing the board and trans- ferring its activities to the Agriculture Department. “T think that would be a great mis- Stone replied. “This is one if you are going to get the best result for the American farmer, that separate and distinct entity, separate and apart from any other operation.” The hearings on the bill also de- veloped that the aim of the Shipping Board is to end its business and close up shop. Testifying before the subcommittee, Chairman T. V. O'Connor of the board said: “We are making every effort to get rid of every vessel we can and to get out of business as soon as possible.” The Shipping Board., organized in 1916 to develop the American merchant | marine, and its subsidiary, the Mer- | chant Fleet Corporation, once had & | fiect of 2,500 vessels, but the testimony made public today shows that now there | are but 355, of which only 99 are in active service, 136 tied up at wharves and 120 slated to be scrapped. | Elmer E. Crowley, president of the Fleet Corporation. disclosed that four Gulf and five North Atlantic lines were still in operation, and their estimated net operating loss for the coming fiscal year was placed at $5.211.600. | President would be submitted’to Con- DEMOCRATS TO CUT TOTAL 0. §. COSTS; Caucus Agrees to Modify Tydings’ Move to Recom- mit Supply Bill. (Continued From First Page.) the national debt next year. The Mary- land Senator does not say any definite amount should be cut from any par- ticular bill. The resolution merely di- rects the committee to keep appropria- i tions within estimated revenues, namely, $2.949,100,000. Senator Tydings spcke in support of his resolution yesterday afternoon, and was supported by Senator King, Dem- ocrat, of Utah. Bratton Points to Platform. Senator Bratton, Democrat, of New Mexico, & member of the special Econ- omy Subcommittee, reminded his col- leagues that the Democratic platform in the last campaign promised a 25 per cent reduction in the cost of Govern- ment. He said if this pledge was going to be carried out the start would have to be made on this first appropriation bill—the Treasury-Post Office measure. If one bill goes through, he argued, it will not be possible to begin making the cuts on later bills. Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, Democratic leader, declared it is his opinion that $800,000000 would be much nearer the amount required to balance the budget than $490,000.000. “When we talk of economy in the abstract,” said the Democratic leader, “we are all in accord. When we come to apply it in detail, or to specific ap- El‘opfllllonl. we immediately divide opelessly into factions, with the result that very little is accomplished. “I think the thing for the Senate to do before passing the resolution of the Senator from Maryland is to make ug its mind whether we are going througl on this proposition. If we are not go- ing through on it, then the resolution ought not to be agreed to.” Senator Vandenberg. Republican, of Michigan, raised the question that, un- less there is some consistent method of prorating the total cut required by the Tydings resolution over the various ap- propriation bills, it would probably be necessary to make all of next yeal propriations in one bill. Senator Brat- ton did not agree with this view. Regrouping Discussed. The debate also was marked by oc- casional discussion of reorganization of | the Government departments as a means of reducing expenses. Senator | Bratton pointed out that if Congress makes substantial reductions in the supply bills and then adopts the recom- mendations of the Economy Committee giving the President-elect broader re- organization powers, the Executive could take steps to keep within the funds available. During the afternoon Senator Bank- head. Democrat. of Alabama filed an amendment which would give the Presi- dent even more complete reorganiza- tion power than was recommended by the Economy Committee. Under the | committee plan all orders issued by the | gress and could be stopped by a con- current resolution of both houses. The | Bankhead amendmert provides that all | reorganization orders issued within one | vear from the passage of this bill would | take effect immediately without trans- mittal to Congress Senator Smoot. Republican, of Utah and Senator Bratton both declared that | one reason why the Appropriations | Committee has " difficulty in holding | down the cost of government is bec:usr; at every session of Congress many bills | authorizing new expenditures are passed | without much consideration. Mterl they are passed. these Senators pointed | out, the Appropriations Committee is | confronted with the necessity of rec- ommending funds to carry them out Senator Walsh. Democrat, of Massa- chusetts suggested that economy could | be brought about by giving the Presi-| dent power to veto separate items in | appropriation bills without rejecting the entire bill. but the belief was ex-| pressed by Walsh and others that this | probably would require a constitutional | amendment. The presentation of the Democratic substitute led to a lively debate between Senators on opposite sides of the aisle. | including Hastings of Delaware and| Vandenberg of Michigan on the Repub- | lican side and Tydings of Maryland and | Byrnes of South Carolina on the Demo- cratic side. Hastings declared that Tvdings' original resolution of yester- | day had “teeth in it.” but that the | substitute brought in today “is asl| meaningless as it is possible to put it in seven lines by anybody.” | Proposals Turned Down. X Turning to the proposal in the econ- omy program to give the President- elect still broader powers to reorganize the Government by abolishing bureaus. Hastings declared a Democratic House has turned down the reorganization proposals submitted by President Hoo- ver under the existing law. | Senator Byrnes, in reply. argued that the reorganization plans submitted to the House by the President at this ses- | sion would not accompiish any material reduction in expenses | Senator Vandenberg said he came to the Senate today prepared to vote for the resolution offered vesterday by the Senator from Maryland, but that ap- parently “the Senator is now retreating from his own_position.” Senator Tydings replied that if other Senators will vote as he is willing to vote in the interest of budget balanc- ing the Government will have no diffi- culty in meeting its expenses.
