RODSEVELT SES NOREELEF NED $1,425,000,000 Appropria- tion Not to Be Adequate, President Says. BY the Associated Press. Pursuing its study of financial prob- lems, the Roosevelt administration believed today it may have to ask Congress for more money to eke out relief funds during the present fiscal year ending next June 30. How much money will be requested has not yet been decided, but Presi- dent Roosevelt indicated that, be- cause of drought relief, the current appropriation of $1,425,000,000 for work relief will not prove adequate. This was only one of a score of sub- jects Mr. Roosevelt touched upon.in a press conference late yesterday as re- porters asked him many questions. No Thought of Amendment. Among his responses to queries were these: That he has given no thought to the question of seeking a constitutional amendment to give Congress power to legislate certain social reforms. That the new sliding scale of wages announced in the steel industry is a move toward a more stable economy and away from the fluctuations of the That he foresees no necessity for additional taxes to operate the Gov- ernment next fiscal year. That the question of changing the new taxes on undistributed earnings of corporations will be for the appro- priate congressional committees to | ponder. That no shifts in the diplomatic corps are expected at present. That the question of reorganizing the governmental set-up is now in the hands of congressional and presi- dential committees and that any ac- tion will await the report of these committees. That he will indicate in his mes- sage to Congress January 6 whether or not he expects a balanced budget at the end of the next fiscal year. The President also disclosed that he had been conferring with Rexford G. Tugwell, head of the Resettlement Administration, on the question of shifting this agency to some existing or new Government department and thus giving it 8 permanent status. Other agencies, such as the Civilian Conservation Corps and the National Youth Administration, probably will be hrought into the permanent gove ernmental set-up eventually and grad- ually, he indicated. But he empha- sized that the whole question of gov- ernmental reorganization still is in the study stage.

Postponing a decision on authoriz- ing construction of a major-sized slaughter house in Northeast Wash- ington, the District Commissioners today called a special board meeting tomorrow at 10 a:m. to hear the views of all members of their special com- mittee that investigated the appli- cation of Adolf Gobel, Inc. A sharp difference of opinion was brought to light today in the report rendered to the Commissioners late yesterday by the committee in recom- mending -that they should approve the slaughter house permit, provided certain definite requirements were met. For this reason, the Commis- sioners decided to go thoroughly into the matter. While this does not mean the Commissioners intend to over- ride the recommendations of Dr. George C. Ruhland and’his commit- tee, it indicates that objections raised by two of the committee members warrant further consideration. Two members signed the committee report with reservations, and at least one of them, John Nolen, jr., director of planning for the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, chal- lenged the Commissioners to let the other member who did not agree | fully with the committee report is A. D. Black, District sewer engineer. Each will be heard tomorrow. For reasons not explained, the exceptions to the committee’s findings made by Nolen were not given to the press along with the report favoring the Gobel company. Premise Disagreed With. * Nolen disagreed entirely with the premise on which the committee based its report in holding the Com- missioners have no alternative to issuance of the permit. He declared the committee was not prepared to say whether the slaughtering of 5,000 animals a week could be done in such & manner as to remove the possibility of a nuisance. For this and other reasons ad- vanced, Nolen argued that it would be a more “consistent policy in the public interests for the Commissioners to refuse to grant this permit, and if the company then so desires, let the court decide whether, upon competent testimony, the action of the Com- missioners can be sustained.” Such a course, he intimated, might save the Gobel company needless ex- pense in the end if, after the plant is established, the matter is taken into the courts as a “public nuisance.” action are Secretary of the Interior Ickes and Prederic A.

DIRECTED TO APPEAR OR REPLY WEDNESDAY Federation Head Refuses Com- ment and Prepares to Attend Tampa, Fla., Convention. BACKGROUND— From same background of coal mines, John L. Lewis and William Green have arisen to become domi= nant inviduals in American labor movement. Once working together in the cause, they have grown apart in recent months as Green stuck to the craft union majority of the American Federation of Labor and Lewis led the militant minority which seeks to spread the industrial union principle. As a vehicle for the latter, Lewis @ year ago founded the Committee for Industrial Organization and an open split between that group and the Federation came late this Sum- mer. Through all this, however, Green and Lewis still have continued membership in the same union, the United Mine Workers of America. BY JOHN C. HENRY. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, but only a member in the ranks of the United Mine Workers of America, to- day was ordered to explain to the In- ternational Executive Board of the mine workers activities allegedly “in- jurious and detrimental to the in- terests” of that organization and “in violation of its valid laws.” In a complaint attested by Walter Smethurst, clerk of the International Executive Board of the Mine Workers, but bearing no other signature, Green is accused on four counts and directed to answer the charges next Wednesday “in person, by counsel or agent, or by written statement.” Green had not been notified at noon of the Mine Workers' action and was planning to leave for Tampa, Fla,, by train at 1:15. Informed unofficially, he said he would make no comment at this time and would not change his plans for going South. The federa- | tion’s national convention opens in Tampa on Monday, with department meetings scheduled in the meantime. Text of Summons. The summons to be forwarded to ?reen by his own union follows in full: | “The International Executive Board | will assemble in Washington Novem- ber 16, 1936. “Upon complaint of members, the | board will review your publicly known activities, to wit: “A.
