BY ERNEST K. LINDLEY. | Two developments yesterday added | their pressure to the political “squeeze” | between the right and the left which | is embarrassing the Roosevelt ad-| ministration acutely. First, Senator George W. Norris, Progressive Re-| publican of Nebraska, decisively cham- pioned his former secretary, Controller General J. R. McCarl, against the administration: second. about 30 lib- eral House members met as the first step to unify their forces behind a common program. The McCarl issue. which now cen- ters around payments of the cost of return passage for the families and soods of naval officers, who have been retired while at distant posts, is the type of issue on which all opponents of the administration in Congress can easily unite. McCarl is an agent of Congress, and any effort by the ad- ministration to ignore or evade his rulings automatically places the leg- islative and executive branches of the Government in theoretical opposi- tion. Senator Norris asserted flatly that McCarl was correct in his refusal to authorize the payments ordered by Secretary of the Navy Swanson. Only Friday. in his press conference, President Roosevelt said that the in-| tent of Congress to permit such pay- ments to be made was unquestion- able in his mind. Although he instructed the Secre- tary of the Navy to consult with the (Continued on Page 4, Column 4.) 10,1, MEASURE AGAIN BLOCKED Unruly House Balks After Bill Appears Well on BOTH BONUS BILLS 10 GET VOTE TEST Byrns Assures Trial for Pat- man Inflation Plan and D.

When the Vinson bill was se- lected there was a *ind of gentleman's agreement that when the legislation was presented to the House its con- sideration would be undertaken under a wide-open procedure which would give the Patman supporters a chance. reach the House early this week. 1t is Speaker Byrns' idea that the Vinson bill be perfected in the House with members’ remarks limited to five minutes. When this consideration is complete, Speaker Byrns suggests the Patman bill also be considered and perfected under the same so-called five minute rule. If the Patman measure meets de- feat on the first non-record vote, while the House is working in what 1s technically called the “committee of the whole,” the Texan would have an opportunity, under the rule Speaker Byrns suggests, to force a roll call on a motion to recommit the Vinson measure with instruction to the Ways and Means Committee to report his proposal as substitute. If this motion failed, another record vote on the passage of the Vinson bonus bill could be forced. Big Majority Forecast. Administration leaders in the House forecast House passage of some bonus measure late this week by the largest majority since the issue was placed before Congress.
