DEMOCRATS SPLITi OVER WORK-RELIEF Row in Secret Meeting Presages Delay in Re- porting Bill. (Continued From First Page.) — e — out whether the total for reforestation included the plan for a belt of trees from Canada to Texas, through the drought region. Peoples said he did not know. N. R. A. Legislation Discussed. During the hearings, Senator Byrnes said he was informed by President Roosevelt that the Chief Executive had no intention to use the broad general powers in the bill to extend N. R. A. without legislation from Con~ ess. nlery L. Hopkins, relief adminis- trator, testified there would be no diffi- culty getting people off the relief rolls onto the work program. He contended the needy want jobs, and few turn them down when offered. “The number of people that do not want to work on the relief rolls is so infinitesimal and small in num- ber, that it is not important,” he said. Dickinson Hits Bill. Increased rumblings of opposition to the work relief bill appeared yes- terday when Senator Dickinson, Re- publican, of Iowa, charged the pro- gram was patterned after Upton Sin- clair's “E. P. I. C.” plan in California. “The bill as now framed would permit the executive to increase re- lief from this year to next and there- after and permit him to take over idle factories, employ labor and pay them and give away the product.” Dickinson said. “It also would permit him to buy land, cement plants and other idle factories and start them all like the Sinclair plan in Cali- fornia.” Chairman Glass of the Senate Ap- propriations Committee said that be- cause of inadequate information from administrative spokesmen, it would be impossible to “‘earmark” any items in the measure, G. O. P. Maps Plans. “We will report the bill in some | form or other,” he added, but de- clined to say in what form. Senate Republicans, in deciding not to follow a set plan of attack on the bill, will propose their own amend- ments designed to curb the delegated presidential powers already approved by the House. They hope for con- siderable Democratic support from conservatives. To avecid possible charges by the administration that Congress is with- holding relief, Senate Republicans agreed yesterday, however, that should the majority so move they would grant unanimous consent for segre- gation of the $880,000,000 emergency relief fund from the $4,000,000.000 work relief section. : This, according to Senator Steiwer, Republican, of Oregon, would give the Relief Administration sufficient funds to carry on lts activities after Febru- ary 10, when existing funds reportedly will run out. Already the F. E. R. A. is doling out money by the day rather than in monthly allotments. Opposition Stirs President. Apparently somewhat stirred by op- position to his social security pro- gram, President Roosevelt will send Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau and Secretary of Labor Perkins before congressional committees next Tues- day to present proposals for changes in the projected legislation. These amendments are designed to remove obstacles to favorable action and to speed consideration of the legislation in both branches in order to give the 44 State Legislatures meet- ing this Winter an opportunity to enact bills to carry out the program. House Democratic leaders have con- sented to the administration’s demand for speed. They plan to shut off hear- ings before the Ways and Means Com- mittee Wednesday and bring the bill to the House floor for action under a V! <o R LO THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

This strategy was decided upon because of a movement among Demo- crats to boost higher the Federal old- age pension contribution of $15 a month—a figure which President Roosevelt insists must be the top limit. Curbs on President Sought. While many Senate Democrats are withholding their fire on the $4,- 880,000,000 relief bill, it is generally known many are planning to offer amendments which would specifically prevent the President from taking over private businesses, making direct grants to needy and paying relief workers less than the prevailing wage in the various communities. During its first month, the Demo- cratic Congress has not only failed to respond to the administration’s proposals as did its predecessor, but has been less compromising and more deliberate in action. e SPECIAL NOTICES.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. \HE hopes of the American farmers and industrialists to sell the Soviets hundreds of million of dollars’ worth of raw and manufactured goods have vanished into thin air; some people will be disappointed, others will be glad. ‘What lies behind the blunt refusal of the Soviet government to agree to the State Department’s light terms is this: Last Summer the Soviet and France began a flirtation which ended in Russia joining the League of Na- tions in an agreement with the French general staff to “exchange in- formations”—a new expression for military co-operation—and in France advancing the Soviet government im- portant credits. 4 The credit deal was cinched in December. The French agreed to open @ preliminary credit to the Soviets of $62,000,000 with a promise that some more will follow when= ever this credit was ezhausted. The French loans to Russia of the Czars and Kerensky amounts to sev- eral billion dollars gold. Not a word about the repayment of that sum was 1s | mentioned by the French negotiators. to start smal See _telep] Ty branch nearest you. or call National 1222. ‘WEEKLY TRIPS TO AND FROM BALTI- more; also trips within 24 hours’ notice to any point in United States TTH'S TRANSFER & STORAGE CO.

Marianne Scared. support of Russia by giving her ex- tensive loans. Despite the Russian disasters in 1914, there is no doubt that the Germans would have taken Paris had that mass of humanity— the ill-equipped Russian army—not drawn so many German divisions to their eastern front. History might repeat itself, Paris thinks, and if France can get away with @ paltry few hundreds of mil- lions of dollars—in goods—to 0b- tain Russia’s unconditional military support against Germany, well, it is a brilliant investment for the French government. But, all the same, there was a danger that some ool deputies should raise thé ques- tion of repayment of the billions the Russian government owes the French investors if Russia signed an agreement to pay her American debts on the same basis of com- ‘mercial credits as France was giv- ing her. It is jor this reason that Moscow insisted that the American Government should facilitate com- mercial credits over a period from 10 to 15 years. This, Moscow knew full well, could not be accepted by the State Department. The consequence of the breakdown of the negotiations between the State Department_and Moscow will be far reaching. It is probable that the Japanese will declare January 31 a general holiday to celebrate the good news of the end of a possible Amer- ican-Russian co-operation. It is also probable that the large embassy and consular staffs which were sent to the two respective coun- tries soon after the recognition of the Soviet government will be drastically reduced. After all, what is the point in keeping an imposing diplomatic and consular staff when relations be- tween the two countries are just a platonic formality. Embassy Cut Likely. Nobody will be much surprised if the imposing personnel of the Soviet Embassy in Washington will be re- duced to a skeleton organization, and most of the American diplomatic and consular officers in Russia will go on an_extensive furlough. There is no reason, however, why the American Government should want to break off diplomatic rela- tions with Russia because economic discussions have proved a failure. But it is possible that the Senate should think differently. The re- sumption of diplomatic relations with the Soviets was an act of the Presi- dent and the Senate has nothing to do with it.

By the Associated Press. ‘The refusal of District Judge Ernest A. O'Brien of Detroit to dis- qualify himself from conducting the Detroit banking cases as requested by the Government in an afdavit alleg- ing prejudice was announced yester- day by the Justice Department. The cases, concerned with the so- called Detroit bankers group and the Guardian-Detroit group, are set for hearing March 12, ‘The Justice Department said Judge O'Brien on January 8 had ordered the affidavit of personal bias and prejudice, submitted by Guy K. Bard, special Assistant Attorney General stricken from the record. Debt Cited in Affidavit. In the affidavit, Bard had declared “Elizabeth Dee O'Brien is indebted to the First National Bank, Detroit, on various and numerous mortgages and notes exceeding the sum of $27,000, all of which are past due and unpaid; that the receiver on numerous occa- sions has attempted to enforce col- lection of these obligations from the said Elizabeth Dee O'Brien and has been informed by Ernest A. O'Brien, acting on behalf of his wife, that she is unable to liquidate these obliga- s A-3 mination of disqualification and for designation of another judge as con- templated by said section 21 has been filed, and that the filing of said affi- davit was unreasonably delayed. “For these reasons an order will be entered striking the afidavit from the files. * * * This opinion was ren- dered with the added assurance that I have no personal bias or prejudice against the plaintiff nor in favor of any of the defendants. However, be- cause no proper showing of bias and prejudice as contemplated by law has been made, I have been impelled to recognize the obligation of every judge to perform the functions of his of- fice in the manner contemplated by law. In fact, I have no other alter- native under the circumstances.” EMPLOYMENT CENTER AIDS 1,316 TO GET JOBS Record for January Receives 3,203 Applications—Call on 155 Employers. The District of Columbia Public Employment Center filled 1,316 posi- tions during January and received 3,203 new applications, it was an- nounced last night. During the month representatives called on 155 employers in an effort to refer unemployed applicants to | possible openings. The center is lo- |cated at 480 Indiana avenue. | Positions filled represent an in- crease of 16.2 per cent over place- ments made in December, 1934, and an increase of 19.3 per cent over Jan- uary of 1934. Of the 1,316 place- | ments made last month, 177 were on public works projects and the re- mainder in private employment. Of the private positions filled, 607 were regular and 532 temporary. tions.” The afidavit further said that | when a receiver for the banks was appointed “a joint collateral note in the amount of $3,045.50 in the name | of Ernest A. O'Brien and Elizabeth Dee O'Brien was among the assets of the First National Bank, Detroit; that this note was secured by $11,000 worth of various securities.” Opinion Allegedly Expressed. In concluding his affidavit Bard said that he had “been informed and verily believed that District Judge O'Brien manifested an unusual in- terest in the banking investigation in Michigan conducted by the United States Government,” and that the judge had “expressed an opinion re- garding the above-entitled case on several occasions.” Summing up, Bard said he believed O'Brien “is undoubtedly personally biased and prejudiced against the Government and biased and preju- diced in favor of the defend- ants * ¢ * and is, therefore, not a suitable judge to try this case fairly and impartially and that he should be disqualified and another judge designated to try the said case.” In a copy of his opinion, made pub- lic yesterday by the department, Judge O'Brien said that the affidavit had not complied with the judicial code and explained: Reasons for Decision. “I am satisfied and so find that the affidavit, neither in substance nor form, complies with the requirements of section 21 of the judicial code: that it is not an affidavit of a party to the proceedings as required by that section, is not accompanied by a cer- tificate of counsel of record as re- quired, it appearing from the rec- ords of this court that the certifying |counsel has not been admitted to practice in this court, that it is legally insufficient to establish the claimed bias and prejudice, that it fails to identify the names of informants of affiant as to the opinions claimed to have been expressed * * * or the time and place of such expression, that no proper application for deter- BY J.
