RELIEF BILL IS READY; HOOVER VETO UNLIKELY Rewritten Measure Facing Little Opposition in House and Senate. BY RUTH FINNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON. July s.—The relief bill, rewritten in conference in several important respects, faces little opposition in either house of congress, according to present indications. However, the threat of a veto, contained in stories emanating from the White House, may keep congress here until the President has acted on the bill. Congressmen who have been following the measure discounted the veto threat, pointing out that the bill as approved by senate, and house conferees, makes such large concessions to Mr. Hoover’s own plan for relief that there is little in the bill on which he might base a veto. In the section providing for public works, conferees have rejected all construction proposed by Speaker John N. Garner and denounced by the President as “pork barrel” legislation. Alter Public Works Clause They have altered the Wagner program of public works to meet the wishes of Treasury Secretary Ogden Mills by striking out all provisions for a bond issue, leaving the appropriation bills the $200,000,000 public works already approved and giving Mills a free hand to finance the others when and as he chooses. In the section providing for emergency hunger relief, the conferees have agreed that $200,000,000 shall be loaned by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation on the basis of each state’s population, and another $100,000,000 shall be distributed by the President in any way he sees fit. Finally, the conferees have written into the bill unlimited authority for the R. F. C. to make loans to any person or industry for any purpose, except payment of debts already contracted* This is the most far-reaching grant of power made to an executive agency since the war, and Mr. Hoover has been a strong advocate of it. With these major concessions, members of congress believe Mr. Hoover will sign the bill, despite the fact it still contains a modest program for public works. If he does not, there is an excellent chance of overriding a veto by a two-thirds Vote of both houses. Important Changes Made Two important changes from the original Democratic relief program are brought about by these concessions. Senator Wagner’s bill would have balanced the 1933 budget by taking current public works out of the appropriation bills and financing them through long-term bonds. The Mills substitute program makes the entire public works program, already approved and newly proposed, a charge against 1933 revenues, and will add them to the 1933 deficit. In the opinion of Democratic congressmen, the public works plan did not unbalance the budget until this change was made at Mill’s request. In the second place, by authorizing the R. F. C. to loan to any person in the country for practically any purpose, the conferees acknowledge that they are putting the government into the banking business, and changing the relief bill from one designed to put men to work on construction projects to one which will help existing business to survive wid keep persons now employed in their jobs. This sweeping change, written into the bill in conference, has not been debated in either house of congress. It was not even proposed in the senate debate, and house members are discovering with surprise that it was included in the Garner bill that passed under strict gag rules.

By Uniti'd Press KANSAS CITY, July s.—Adherents of all third party movements were invited today to join the new “liberty” movement, to band together for a campaign against Republicans and Democrats. A Farmer-Labor leader, Colonel Frank E. Webb, San Francisco, is the party's presidential nominee. Andrew Norskog, Los Angeles, is his running mate. A convention of delegates from the Farmer-Labor, Socialist, Prohi-

bition and Progressive parties and the National Monetary League chose them.

Coxey came here to address the convention after wiring delegates he “felt It a duty to head your ticket.” He was not selected, however. The party’s platform advocates issuance of new money by the federal government to finance public works as an unemployment relief measure; immediate payment of the soldiers’ bonus; government banks operated only for service costs.

G. O. P. Fears Johnson Bolt to Roosevelt

Bn United Press WASHINGTON, July s.—Senator Hiram Johnson, fiery Californian, had the Republican campaign managers on the anxious seat today. They feared he was about to come out definitely in support of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic nominee for President. The California Republican long has been a bitter foe of President Hoover. Sunday he issued ,a statement praising Roosevelt for flying to Chicago, to address the Democratic convention. But he declined to say specifically whether his statement meant that he would bolt the Republican ticket and support Roosevelt in the campaign. Johnson bolted in 1912

and ran for Vice - President on the Bull Moose tic ket headed by Theodore Roosevelt. In 1916 he withheld his active support from Charles Evans Hughes. This generally was considered to have contributed greatly to Woodrow Wi 1son’s close vic-

tory in California. The whole result hinged on that state, and Wilson was reelected. Johnson would have the company of other western Republicans if he supported Roosevelt. Senator George W. Norris, Nebraska insurgent, favors the New York Governor, just as he backed Alfred E. Smith against Mr. Hoover in 1928. Senators Smith W. Brookhart (la.) and Lynn J. Frazier (N. D.) have declared they would not support Mr. Hoover, but they have not definitely come out for Roosevelt. Sena tor William E. Borah (Idaho), star campaigner for Mr. Hoover in 1928, has said he would not support him this year if he ran on the prohibition plank laid down by the party convention.

LITTLE CHANCE FOR BEER BILL PASSAGE SEEN Elder Senate Leaders Will Insist on Delay Till Fall Elections. By Bcripps-Howerd "Scwspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, July s.—Chances for passage by the senate of Senator Hiram Bingham’s “immediate beer” amendment are regarded today as small. Despite positive action of the Democratic national convention for immediate modification of the Volstead act and obvious benefits to both parties if legal beer is authorized, the elder senate statemen are seeking to postpone action until after the election. They want the voters to speak first, they say. But Bingham (Rep., Conn.) and Willard Tydings (Dem.. Md.)—most aggressive anti-prohibition leaders in the senate—want quick action. They will insist on a roll call vote on Bingham’s amendment to the home loan bank bill authorizing 3.2 per cent alcoholic content beer. Bingham is acting against the wishes of Republican Leader James E. Watson. Tydings faces the opposition of Democratic Leader Joseph T. Robinson. The leaders may influence enough votes, on each side of the senate chamber, to prevent Bingham from receiving a majority. “The matter should not be settled now, but can best be determined when the reaction of the public has become manifest through the election,” said Robinson, who is a dry. Watson, who has become moist in the last few months, is unwilling to co-operate in what he feels would be aiding the Democrats to promptly carry out their platform promise of “immedate modification.” Nor does Watson want to place President Hoover in the position, at this time, of having to sign or veto such a measure. CHUCK WIGGINS IS FREEDJN THEFT CASE “Hoosier Playboy” Wins Case Because of Legal Technicality. The difference between a musket and a rifle proved to be the difference between jail and freedom for Charles (Chuck) Wiggins, pugilist, Monday in municipal court. For a tecnicality in a warrant against the heavyweight boxer resulted in his being freed on a charge of theft by Municipal Judge William H. Seaffer. In a warrant sworn by William Richardson, 761 West Wabash street, it was alleged that Wiggins stole an old Civil war musket from Richardson in an arguments at New York street and Indiana avenue, Friday night. In court, however, Richardson testified the weapon was a rifle. After discharging Wiggins on the technicality, Sheaffer took possession of the relic and declared he would hold it until Richardson proved ownership.
