Prompt Consideration Of Beer Bill Promised By Senate Body Toda Roosevelt Orders All Speed Possible To Ob- ‘tain Legislation In Im- portant Matters (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, March 16.—“Full Speed Ahead” on legislation to help farm- ers was President Roose- velt’s call to congress today, after enactment of his mas- sive economy program. The latest message to the capitol, another brief one, had to be deferred until late in the day because the President and his advisors found it necessary to work for hours to make sure of last-minute legislative de- tails. Once it is read, leaders expected it will be passed by Saturday, with the agri- culture committee approving it tomorrow. In the meanwhile demo- cratic steeremen in the house acceptance of several amend- ments tacked onto the $500,- 000,000 economy bill by the senate. This meant the legislation will probably reach the White House for presidential signature this afternoon. The senate found another part of the Roosevelt budget- balancing program—house 3.2 per cent beer bill—up for prompt ‘consideration. There was talk there of get- ting this bill also to the White House late today or tomorrow. The senate approved an amendment adding 3.2 per’ IID Sa aaa: APPROVE PLAN OF ROOSEVELT TO MAKE CUTS (By Asnocinted Press) WASHINGTON, D.

BRACKETT Uy Associated Prens) NEW YORK, March 16. —A principal factor in maintaining the soundness of a nation’s currency-is pre- servation of its credit—an end toward which vigorous efforts are now being made at Washington.

It was, in other words, easier to col- lect taxes and to borrow money because the nation had more money. President Roosevelt has pro- posed a budget reduction of from $500,000,000 to $700,000,000 which he believes will bring ex- penses and receipts into balance. On this basis, officials see neces- sary government borrowing ren- dered easier because of this added indication of the nation’s inten-' tion to maintain the currency. Others have proposed large bond issues to be sold on patriotic grounds much as _ liberty bonds were sold during the war to pro- vide additional government funds for public works. The theory is that such public works would start the wheels of industry. Rexford G. Tugwell, one of President Roosevelt’s econ- omic advisers, has proposed such an issue.

From several different aspirants and their interested friends it is learned that the congressman will }not name any one for the post- mastership unless he was a firm supporter of Mr. Wilcox during his race for congress. He will not give his endorse- ment to any person who voted the fepublican ticket. in 1928. "He does not criticize those who voted for Mr. Hoover as it is, he’ says, the inalienable right of the voter to cast his ballot for whom he pleases. However, he believes that the person who is seeking favors from the present administration must be a regular and consistent party !man and one who voted away from the party in 1928 cannot, or should not, expect favors from the democratic party. Another requirement demanded by Mr. Wilcox, is that the ap- pointee, in addition to being | qualified for the position, must be be appointed to serve. After the examinations held, the appointment will be made. Of the three eligibles the one qualified will be selected.
