A—4 *% MANY LEGISLATIVE Garners Hear Glad Tidings> EMERGENCY LAWS | NEAR EXPRATION Social Security, Labor and Farm Aid Stand Out in Legislation. B the Assoclated Press. Social security, labor Ilegislation and new aids for the nation’s farm- ers stood out today among the prob- lems facing the incoming Congress. A host of other highly important tasks will demand attention from the legislators as a result of impending expiration of & number of New Deal emergency statutes. The almost cer- tain revival of several hardy legisla- tive perennials will add to the bur- den. As far as the Senate is concerned, notice already has been served it will have to deal again with the proposed St. Lawrence waterway treaty with Canada, Also, the President’s powers to negotiate reciprocal trade agree- ments with foreign countries expire June 12 unless extended. Neutrality on Agenda. The neutrality act dealing with wars between foreign powers, will die May 1 unless revived. This, coupled with the European situation and the impending Supreme Court decision on legislation empowering the Presi- dent to embargo sale of arms to Bolivia and Paraguay, seems to in- sure a prominent place for the neu- trality question on the next Con- gressional agenda. A new bill to stabilize the giant soft coal industry has been promised by Senator Guffey, Democrat of Pennsylvania, co-author of the invali= dated coal control act but, if it in- cludes tax provisions similar to its predecessor, the measure will have to originate in the House. Outstanding among expiring New Deal laws are those clothing the President with power to vary the gold | content of the dollar and maintain a $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund. These will expire within 10 days after the President’s inauguration on Jan- uary 20 unless Congress acts before- hand. New Legislation Needed. Almost every month thereafter un- til September some important piece of legislation is scheduled to termin- ate, including the Reconstruction Finance Corp.’s authority to provide emergency financing for agriculture, commerce, industry and financial in- stitutions. The Civilian Conservation Corps, with its 350,000 enrollees, needs new legislation if it is to continue after March 31. Statutory powers of the Electric Farm and Home Authority to finance sales expire February 1; the reduced rate of interest from farm mortgages given to Federal land banks and the 3-cent rate for letter postage both die July 1. Taxation alone promises to give the new Congress plenty of work for, in addition to expiration of a number of excise levies which produced about $300,000,000 in the last fiscal year, there is a strong likelihood the 1936 tax act with its levy on corporation surpluses will be subjected to re- vision. In view of campaign statements some form of crop insurance bill ap- pears certain as well as some addi- tional soil conservation program. The social security act, center of @ bitter controversy in the campaign’s closing hours, appeared due for some overhauling. The 30-hour-week bill, side-tracked in two previous Congresses, still is on the American Federation of La- bor’s “must” list and Chairman Con- nery, Democrat of Massachusetts, of the House Labor Committee, has sig- nified his intention of bringing it up n, $50,000 CHURCH BURNS SOUTHBORO, Mass., November 4 (P).—Fire destroyed St. Anne’s Ro- man Catholic Church at an estimated loss of $50,000 here yesterday as its parish celebrated the 50th anniver~ sary of the first Catholic Church in Southboro.

Arlington County voters gave Roose- velt the largest majority ever ac- corded a Democratic presidential can- didate as his ticket surpassed expecta- tions and captured the entire 11 pre- cincts of the county. Roosevelt received 1,970 more votes than Gov. Landon, Democratic forces of Arlington clearly demonstrating their increase in strength since 1932, when Roosevelt came in ahead of Herbert Hoover by only 479 votes. The county gave Representative Smith an even larger majority over his Republican opponent, John Locke Green, for the eighth Virginia district seat in Congress. Smith led Green by 2,714 votes, the latter failing to carry a precinct in his home county, Alexandria voters gave the Demo- cratic presidential candidate a 3-to-1 majority over the Kansas Governor.

B the Associated Press. A multitude of important financial questions, ranging from budget bal- ancing and taxes to monetary prob- lems, face the new Roosevelt admin- istration. In the foreground of the Govern- ment fiscal picture is the 1937-38 budget, and the question of whether the gap between income and outgo of recent years will be materially narrowed or eliminated. ‘With a $922,011,000 deficit thus far this fiscal year, the public debt now stands at $33,839,000,000. President Roosevelt has forecast a gross deficit of $2,096,996,000 for the current fiscal period, with the public debt showing & net increase to $34,188,543,000 by next June 30. Vice President John Nance Garner stayed up until 10:20 p.m., an hour later than usual, to hear the news of the land- slide. He and Mrs. Garner are shown listening to a radio in their home at Uvalde, Tex. —Copyright, A. P. Wirephoto. Garner Keeps Human Touch Rise of ““Cactus Jack” Began in Humble Surround- ings—Retiring Nature Retained in High Office. OHN NANCE GARNER—better known to his friends as “Cactus Jack"—long has been one of the J mere colorful of political figures in Washington. Reared in lowly circumstances in | the absence of its regular occupant.| Red River County, Tex., he has ridden | He kept his eyes on that chair from | the range as a cowhand, clerked in a | general store, played semi-professional base ball, published newspapers, served as county judge and represented his Mexican-border district in Congress until his election in 1932 as Vice Presi- dent. Not until his elevation into what he terms “high society” four years ago did he forsake definitely his rule against silk hats and other “finery.” News photographers recall that when they appeared at his hotel to photo- graph him for the first time in top hat and tails he noticed a grin on the face of a cameraman with whom he had long been friendly. “Hey,” he called to the photographer, | “Wipe that grin off your face, or, dad- gum it, I'll go back and take these durned clothes off!” Has No Social Aspirations. He has never been comfortable in dress clothes and probably never will get used to them. He prefers the wide- brimmed old campaign hat of his be- loved Texas, and the boots and breeches that go with it. He has no social aspirations. Vice President Garner will be 67 vears old on the 22d of this month. He was born in a log cabin at Blossom Prairie, Tex., the son of John Nance Garner and Sarah Guest Garner. His parents were poor. Schooling in those days was expensive and young Jack received only a meager education in primary grades of a country school, supplemented by what his mother taught him at home. At 16 he was forced to go to work to help support himself and family. He obtained a job as handy man in his uncle’s country store at Detroit, Tex., but the earnings were very slight. Later he picked up a few dollars now and then by playing semi-professienal ball. He has always retained an inter- est in the “national pastime” and is & frequent visitor to Griffith Stadium. A yearning to take up law as a pro- fession led him to begin reading law in the office of two friends, M. L. Sims and W. L. Wright. He applied himself diligently to his books, read up on all legal cases he could find and was rewarded with admission to the bar in 1890. Entry in Politics Was Failure, Politics in Texas in that era was of the rough-and-ready type that ap- | pealed to “Cactus Jack.” He decided to take a fling at it, but his first ven- ture was a dismal failure. Running for city®attorney of Clarksville, he went down to defeat and apparently took the loss so much to heart that he pulled up stakes and moved to Uvalde. ‘There he joined a law firm con- ducted by Tully Fuller. Garner be- came & partner and the firm made money. Some of his profits Garner invested in the Uvalde Leadef, a weekly newspaper. The newspaper business drew his attention from law after a while and eventually he be- came editor and publisher of the Leader. His knack of making friends soon gained him a wide following in Uvalde. When a county judgeship became vacant before expiration of the regular term, Garner was appointed to hold the office until an election could be held. He ran for the post and was elected without difficulty. When he ran for re-election as county judge, however, his political fortunes failed him, but he did not lose heart in his ambition to embark on a Ppolitical career. He proceeded to seek election as a member of the State Legislature in 1898, and this time Juck smiled on him, Propesed Diviston of State. His two terms as State legislator won him no great fame, although he pre- cipitated widespread discussion with a proposal to split Texas up into five States. As chairman of the Redis- tricting Committee by the Legisiature to increase the number of congressional districts in accordance with the 1900 census, he created & new fifteenth dis- |such. His committee assignments | were of minor nature during that pe- | riod. He first had the thrill of sitting |in the Speaker's chair in 1905, when | he was called upon once to preside in | that time onward. Garner gave active support to Champ Clark when the latter waged & fight for liberalization of the House rules in 1909, and when Clark was | made Speaker four years later, Gar- | ner became one of his right-hand men, | He declined en offer of the chairman- ship of the Foreign Affairs Committes and accepted, instead, a place on the important Ways and Means Commit- | tee. | Fought Harding’s Policies. | During most of this early service in | the House Garner continued to stay out of the limelight. When Warren | G. Harding entered the White House, however, he stepped to the forefront | in a fight against Harding’s policies. | He aligned himself with the con- | servative faction in the House in most matters, opposing woman suffrage (he always insisted that woman's place | was in the home), the soldiers’ bonus, the child labor amendment and other “liberal” acts. | Garner was one of the first to crit- | jcize Harding's appointment of An- drew Mellon as Secretary of the Treas- | ury and he led the attack on Mellon secured establishment in 1926 of a non-partisan committee on Internal Revenue Taxation in connection with his campaign against Republican tax policies. In 1928, after 25 years' continuous service in the House, Garner made his first definite overtures for the speakership. He failed in this initial drive, but he realized his ambition in 1931 when the Democrats obtained a slim majority. Newspaper men declare he smashed four gavels during his first week in the chair. After his elevation to the speaker- ship his friends in Uvalde organized a “Garner-for-President” club, with an eyve toward the 1932 convention. News- papers began to discuss his chances as a possible nominee. Finally, on January 11, 1932, the Hearst papers came out for Garner in the midst of the battle between Al Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt for the nomi- nation. Announced for Presidency. He did not formally announce him- self as = presidential candidate until a week prior to the 1932 convention at which time he made it plain he did not care to be nominated for the vice presidency, a post that some had suggested for him. He was nominated for President by Senator Tom Connally of Texas, who called him “a man of the people.” Garner obtained 90 votes on the first ballot from the Texas and California delegations. Roosevelt was far in the lead. The second and third ballots did not increase his standing mate- rially, During a recess of several hours & compromise was reached be- tween the Garner and Roosevelt forces, and on the fourth ballot William Gibbs McAdoo announced that Garner has released his support- ers to Roosevelt. Under this “deal” Garner was proposed for the vice presidency on the following day, and he was nominated by acclamation. Garner’s retiring nature, his shun- ning of the spotlight of public affairs during his term as Vice President, caused some Wwits to refer to him as the New Deal's “forgotten man.” In- deed, there were some indications that “Cactus Jack” did mot fully approve of some of his chief’s policies, It was brought out during the Black lobby inquiry this Spring that John Henry Kirby, prominent Texas Demo- crat who opposed the New Deal, had asked Garner—a long-time friend— “how long” he was going to “tolerate of the Constitution.” Reply Was Revealed. Garner's reply was quoted in the hearing as follows: “Dear John Henry: Your favor is just called to my attention. everything you want can’t do half what I would can’t control every- through Coolidge’s administration. He | Looming large as a deficit-deter- mining factor are the Government's emergency expenditures, which, so far this fiscal year, are about $250,- 000,000 under those of a year ago. United States Revenues Increase. On the other side of the ledger, Government revenues are increasing, and Secretary Morgenthau predicted recently that income from the present tax structure would make possible “an early balancing of the budget and thereafter rapld reduction in the public debt.” The tax question will arise in the next Congress, however, even should no new levies be proposed. Numerous excise taxes, which | yielded $300,000,000 during the last | fiscal year, are scheduled to expire | by July, 1937, and Congress will have | to decide whether to continue them. The list Includes levies on gasoline, radio sets, mechanical refrigerators, firearms and automobiles and parts. The Joint Congressional Committee on Internal Revenue Legislation is expected to make recommendations for eliminating inequities and un- necessary administrative difficulties in the present tax structure. In ad- dition, the 1936 undistributed profits tax may be re-examined by Congress with & view to possible revisions. Gold Content of Dollar. In the monetary field the adminis- tration must decide whether to seek re-enactment of statutes giving the President special powers to vary the gold content of the dollar and au- thorizing maintenance of the $2,000,- 000 stabilization fund. i Continuance of ' the stabilization fund is closely tied in with the mone- tary agreement by the United States, Great Britain and France. Under the accord the three countries are pledged to use stabilization funds to prevent sharp fluctuations in inter- national exchange. ‘The silver purchase program has claimed relatively slight attention re- cently, but & decision must be made on whether to continue Government | buying of the white metal. As to money rates, private financial experts expect the administration to continue the “easy money” policy of | the last several years. This may be anticipated, they as- sert, because the administration will desire further business expansion and | because the Treasury has outstanding | a large volume of short-term securi- | ties which must be refunded from time to time. COUGHLIN ASSERTS COMEBACK POSSIBLE Radio Priest Declines Comment on Roosevelt Victory “for Time Being.” By the Assoclated Press. DETROIT, November 4.—Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, commenting on the presidential election, asserted to- day there was “still a possibility” that | his National Union for Social Justice would make a ‘“comeback.” Father Coughlin, who campaigned vigorously against the re-election of President Roosevelt, withheld com- ment on the sweeping victory scored by the President. He sent out word from his study at Royal Oak that he had nothing to say for the time being. He let it be known earlier that he had voted for Representative Willlam Lemke and Louis B. Ward, “third party” candidates in Michigan re- spectively for President and United States Senator. He said he voted for Republican candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State and attorney general. GEN.

NEW YORK, November 4—The, greatest majority ever given a candi- | date for the presidency by New York | State was rolled up yesterday for | Franklin D. Roosevelt on the basis of nearly complete returns. A lead of more than .175,000 votes | for the Democratic candidate was re- | corded in the contest between him and | Gov. Alf M.

Bleakley, Republican. That Tammany Hall went down the | line for the Roosevelt-Lehman ticket was apparent from the tremendous pluralities rolled up in the metropolis. President Roosevelt’s complete vote in New York City was 2,016,204, against 659,746 for Landon. His metropolitan plurality of more than 1,356,000 con- trasted with his city plurality in 1932 | of 871,000 over Herbert Hoover. l Lehman’s city plurality was 922,038, In the city’s own political struggle, | a Tammany-supported candidate, Wil- liam F.

The vote of the American Labor party in New York—on the ballot with the same presidential electors as the Democratic party—was 182,923, with | 3,100 districts reported.

NEW YORK, November 4—New York woke up today after the great- est party in all her history with a swollen head and a great satisfaction that her favorite son, Franklin D. Roosevelt, still was President of these United States. There have been celebrations along | Broadway — Christmas eves, New Year eves, armistice, Lindbergh's re- | turn, the end of prohibition—but | there never has been anything quite | the equal of.the hilarious rough and | tumble in the streets that greeted the | word of the President’s re-election. Fully a million persons milled in Times Square from Forty-second | street north to Forty-eighth as all | traffic stopped, police laughed help-| lessly, horns and automobile sirens | filled the air with ear-cracking bed- | lam and the great signs along the | white way blinked down on a blind- | ing storm of torn paper and hilarity. You couldn't elbow your way into a bar, you couldn’t even move. People laughed and danced, read the returns | that blazed in lights from a dozen | places in the square, sat on curb- | stones and tickled the noses of the | mounted policemen’s horses. Losers Join in Fun. “Winner and the same old cham- pion,” Roosevelt voters cried over and over again, and went on from there seeking hilarity and entertainment far, far into the dawn. Many losers joined in the fun. Women lost their hats and men trampled on their derbies without seeming to care. Top hats and tails, ermine, mink and sparkling brilliants flashed among sailors, uniformed Ma- cheering hordes. Policemen crowded back into doorways, and overhead blinked the signs: “Roosevelt re-elected . . . Roosevelt re-elected . . ." ‘There was one enterprising mer= chant stumbling around in the roar- ing throngs, trying to sell balloons with Roosevelt signs on them. He wasn't in business more than 10 minutes. | Lighted cigarette ends popped his stock in trade like a string of Chinese | firecrackers, He threw away the stubs, | tore off his hat, and went whooping with the rest.

And so it went on, hour after hour, until there was no more question, and people started thinking about the problems of today. Night clubs were crowded until dawn. Hotels had spe- cial police turning the throngs away. Cafes simply could not serve the mul- titudes. in Next 4 Years administration will differ from the | first, Mrs. Roosevelt replied with a | smile, “As far as I know now, there | will be no changes.” With election night over, she looked | forward to another high point in the | Roosevelts’ family life today—the | christening of her eight-month-old | grandchild, Kate Delano—the only | dark-haired baby in the family—in | the little stone chapel at Hyde Park where the President was christened. | Before the christening Mrs. Roose- | velt expected to attend a luncheon | given by her friend, Miss Nancy Cook, in the Val-Kill cottage on the famil, estate for some of the women cam paign workers. “I am very happy to feel that a | great number of the people wish to have the President carry on the work which he has begun in the last few years,” Mrs. Roosevelt said last night | when the news of a Democratic land- | slide reached the Hyde Park house, where the family heard the returns. | u_ o [~ = . = w Q (= o "new and appealing Democrats Stage Party.

Never have the laws been so strictly enforced. - Even golfers on Long Island, coming in to the nineteenth hole, were forced dis- consolately to order tea.

BY the Associated Press. In preparation for what threatens to be the chilliest presidential jnaugura- tion on record, the Capitol's steps were being measured today for a wooden overcoat. The coming inaugural will be the first Midwinter ceremony. The Norris “lame duck” amendment, ratified in 1933, shifted the inauguration date from March 4 to January 20. Weather Bureau records showed an average temperature for that date of 33 degrees—only one point above freez- ing—for the last 49 years. On Janu- ary 20, 1930, the mercury sank to nine degrees above zero. Traditionally the President takes his oath of office on a wooden platform erected at the east portico of the Capi- tol, but congressional attaches predict- ed that January’s inaugural might be moved inside if the weather is un- usually severe, For precedent they cited President Taft's inauguration, which was held in the old Supreme Court chamber in the Capitol’s north wing while a blizzard rattled the windows. The advanced age and frail health of several Supreme Court justices were mentioned as an additional argument for an indoors ceremony. Capitol Architect David Lynn went ahead, however, with plans to seat 12,000 spectators on the building’'s three flights of east steps and the ad- joining roadway. Planks will be laid over the steps, he said, “because wooden seats are a little warmer than stone.” 13 Arrests Mark Quietest Election Night in Capital Only 13 persons celebrated with enough gusto last night to arouse the interest of the police. This marks the fewest arrests for drunkenness on election night re- corded here in years. “It was very quiet,” it was said at headquarters. Only 90 extra policement were on duty.
