PLANIS SEEN SOON White House Parley Set for Friday on Appropria- tion Problem. .. BACKGROUND— Drive for economy in Govern- ment became important several weeks ago as Senate and House dlocs seized upon disappointing tax revenues as foundation for cam= paign to cut expenditures. Among economy proposals al- ready made are flat reduction of all appropriations by 10 per cent or impounding of funds to be used at discretion of President. Presi- dential request for $1,500,000,000 in relief funds may be issue of con- troversy, economy bloc already hav- ing fought off pressure from mayors and Governors for bigger appro- priation. B5 the Associated Press. Two factors caused congressional | leaders today to predict crystallization this week of a program to cut Gov- « ernment expenses: 1. The House Appropriations Sub- committee may take action on Presi- dent Roosevelt's recommendation for | $1,500,000,000 for relief spending in| the fiscal year beginning July 1.| Chairman Woodrum favors cutting this | sum by one-third. 2. The President has summoned leaders to a general legislative con- ference Friday when he returns from his fishing trip. The question of relief appropriations and economy is expect- ed to be one of the major topics. Senator Bailey, Democrat, of North Carolina, said a large group of con- servative Democrats would back the * proposal of Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, to return relief administration to the States, abolish the Works Prog- ress Administration and appropriate $850.000,000 for allocation to the States by the President. This also was expected to receive the support of Republicans, whose platform last year recommended such a course Some legislators said any major cut in appropriations at this session—as compared to last year's figures—would have to come from relief funds. By their calculation the depart- mental money bills, appropriating funds to finance Government agencies in the next fiscal year, will total about .~ $4,669,000,000, or about $479.000,000 more than for the current year. Any figures on the department bills are subject to change, however, be- cause the Navy supply bill is the only one so far placed on the statute books.

STAR, WASHI PAY, HOUR MINIA URGEDINTEXTILE Labor Leaders Ask $18 and 35-Hour Rules in “Little N. R. A.” Hearings. BACKGROUND— Since death of N. R. A., eflorts dent of the Cotton Textile Institute, opposed the original measure, but said he could not speak for the 800 cotton mills in the organization until his Executive Committee meets later this week. The House Subcommittee will hear opponema next week. “No perwm engaged in the textile industry,” the bill says, such unreasonably low wages, or exact such unreasonably long hours of serv- ice, or impose upon his employes such unfair conditions of employment as would adversely affect commerce in the products of the textile industry.” Among the competitive practices which the bill would make illegal are “shall pay |~ overproduction, price discriminations, commercial bribery, misrepresentation, misbranding and mislaoeling, including breach of contract, exclusive dealing and passing off a product for that of a competitor. A three-man national textile com- mission would administer the legisla- tion. The measure was taken up with the approval of President Roosevelt, but the administration has given no indi- cation yet whether a general labor and industrial program will be offered at this session. The Senate Interstate Commerce Committee, meanwhile, has gone ahead with arrangements to con-! sider child labor legislation. It will hear Labor Department experts and social workers testify Wednesday. Senator Barkley, Democrat, of Kentucky, has proposed a bill, which, he sald, resulted from conferences with Labor Department officials, to outlaw in interstate commerce the products of manufacturers using child labor. Chairman Wheeler, Democrat, ot Montana, said he would urge pro- hibiting shipment of child labor goods into any State in violation of its laws. Some Senators have expressed pref- erence for a constitutional amend- ment, written in more specific terms than the one now before the States. *xxs A—5 TRADE MARK Household Furnitu Every Descripti B Radios, Personal etc. At Public Auction At Sloan’s nseistsaep. 715 13th St. WEDNESDAY May 12th, 1937, At 10 A.M.

Such effort was made in soft coal industry through Guffey-Vin= son legislation and upon invalida- tion of this act by Supreme Court new bill was passed during present session of Congress. Long considered one of industries containing bad working conditions, textile industry has been marked for imposition of standards of wages, hours and working condi- tions. By the Assoctated Press. ‘Textile labor leaders urged inclusion today of an $18 minimum wage and a 35-hour week in a proposal for Fed- eral regulation of the giant industry. Officials of the United Textile Workers were invited to present their views before a House Labor Subcom- mittee, beginning hearings on the Ellenbogen bill to set up a “little N. R. A" for textile mills. ‘The measure, similar in some re- spects to the new coal control act, would establish labor standards for THIS WEEK’S ESTABLISHED 1859 FOOD STORES LARGE, GREEN CAROLINA ASPARAGUS 29:. bunch Tender, Long-Speared SAVE 10c A DOZEN ON THESE LARGE, JUICY, VALENCIA ORANGES!

Treasury-Post Office bill, $1,503,- 000,000—$13,000,000 under the budget and $237,000,000 over the current $1,- 266,000,000 appropriation. Navy bill, $526,000,000—$36,000,000 * under the budget and $2,000,000 under the current $528,000,000. State, Justice, Commerce and La- bor Departments bill, $125,000,000— $1,000,000 over the budget and §7,- 000,000 over the present $118,000,000. Legislative bill, $24,000,000—$1,000,- 000 under both the budget estimate | and the present $25,000,000 approprm- tion. District of Columbia bill, $45,000,-, 000—$1,000,000 under the budget and $1,000,000 over the current $44,000,- 000. Agriculture bill, 000,000 under the budget and $143,- 000,000 over the present $788,000,000. | Military establishments bill, $416,- 000,000—$358,000 under the budget | and $25,000,000 $391,000,000. Interior bill, $117,000,000—$4,000,- 000 under the budget and $5,000,000 under the present $122,000,000 (esti- mated; bill still in committee). «~ 1In its last session Congress ap- proved $2,753,000,000 in relief and deficiency appropriations. Similar ap- propriations so far in this session have aggregated $1,033,000,000. If $1,500,000,000 is appropriated for relief, $350,000,000 for the Civilian Conservation Corps and $150,000,000 for river and harbor improvements, flood control and the Panama Canal, as has been proposed, Congress will authorize at this session appropria- tions adding up to some $7,702,000,000. That compares with regular, relief and deficiency appropriations in the last _seasion of $6,933,000,000. The differ- ence 1s $769,000,000. over the present Rescued With Fishing Line. PHILADELPHIA, May 10 (#).—Thir- teen-year-old William McDermott, jr., was pulled from waist-deep mud in a bog by a stout fishing line yesterday. Charles Grasso, returning from a fish- ing trip yesterday heard the boy's| shouts, cast him a line and assisted him to firm ground. $931,000,000—$5,- | actually the supply was plentiful. The flyers first touched English soil 15 miles outside London at North Weald Royal Air Force airdrome at 6:10 p.m,, repaired their radio and re- sumed the flight to Croydon at 6:20 p.m. (12:20 Eastern standard time). It was Merrill's third trans-Atlantic crpssing within a year. With Harry Richman, New York night club singer, he made the eastward crossing last year in 17 hours 45 minutes, but was forced down in South Wales. The westward hop also ended in forced landing in Newfoundland. The pair took off from Floyd Ben~ nett Field Sunday at 3:36 p.m. East- ern standard time. The elapsed time to Weald Airdrome was 20 hours 34 minutes. They were grounded there 10 minutes, and required 18 minutes for | the hop to Croydon. There was no great anxiety, however, | \ a‘though it was considered possible the pair might have been forced down | somewhere in Ireland. When 3:32 p.m. passed without the flyers’ arrival, they lost a chance to beat the Newfoundland-Croydon rec- ord of 13 hours and 17 minutes set by Capt. Jimmy Moilison last October. Weather conditions were fair around the Irish coast, but fog and rain were reported between there and London. Croydon officials said they received a garbled message which they were sure came from Merrill at 3:25 p.m. (9:25 am, E. 8. T).
