INFLATION BLOC LOSES GROUND IN CONGRESS Reaction to Veteran Issue Defeat Strengthens . Administration. BY RUTH FINNEY Timet Special Writer. WASHINGTON, April 24—President Roosevelt may win his stock market fight, his reciprocal tariff fight, and other close contests w hich lie just ahead as a direct result of his defeat on veterans’ legislation. Congressmen who voted to override his veto "are now hearing from the folks at home and what they hear is making their ears burn. Even veterans, in many cases, are writing that the veto should have been sustained. The results are already evident. When a test vote was taken in the house Monday on the inflationary McLeod bill, opposed by the President, the bills sponsors failed to rally even the number of members who petitioned for a vote on the measure last week. Inflationary Bill Losing The inflationary Frazier-Lemke bill is losing signers instead of gaining them. The senate silver bloc has voted to take its stand behind legislation so drastic that its defeat is certain rather than a moderate measure which might have some chance of success. The decision is interpreted here as a graceful way of ending a difficult fight in campaign year. The letters from home may even tilt the balance in favor of the Norris amendment to divorce the home loan administration from patronage. Many congressmen are beginning to feel that if home sentiment prefers support of the President to support of veterans it may feel the same way about political jobs, usually one of the most delicate subjects just before an election. Lobbies Still Busy But if the veterans’ lobby has taken its place in legendary history along with the Anti-Saloon League, their successors are ready to carry on the tradition. Just as the biggest lobby the capital has ever seen—that against stock market regulation—was being exposed here, the most unusual lobby made its appearance. This one, organized against the administration's plan for control of milk production, did its work in the milk producing states rather than in Washington and little has been heard of it. It is the first, so far as the records show, that has been able to persuade a large froup of citizens to decline a gift of $165 000.000 from the government. Relief Program Dropped That amount was to have been paid milk producers in return for a cut in production. Growers of other products have demanded similar control schemes in order to increase their incomes, with the result that cash received by all farmers in March amounted to $417,000,000. just ju6t $142,000,000 more than cash received in March of last year. The National Co-operative Milk Producers’ Federation led the fight against the administration's milk plan and succeeded in marshaling so much opposition at fifteen regional conferences called to explain and discuss it that AAA has declined to proceed w r ith any program for dairy relief until a majority of the industry asks for it. Still another lobby is grooming for the coming fight on the Johnson bill, designed to increase efficiency of utility regulation by taking jurisdiction over rate cases from the federal courts. Further Debate Due This is known as the American federation of utility investors, just formed to fight all measures seeming to threaten profits on utility securities. It says it represents 10,000.000 investors, including, of course, orphaned children and widows. ** The house will debate the Johnson bill in a few days under a rule giving the whole membership generous opportunity to reject the innocuous substitute reported by the house judiciary committee and restore provisions of the senate bill. Representative Thomas L. Blanton's filibuster against action in this congress on old age pensions for the district of Columbia may help to speed nation-wide adoption of pension plans through NRA codes. Tensions in 28 States Insurance companies report a spurt of interest in pension plans from industries which find that dismissal of old workers and their subsequent support on relief rolls is as expensive as attempting to use them for watchmen or in other capacities. Twenty-eight states now have old age pension laws, and in addition 300 companies have put group annuity plans into effect through insurance companies. Those who have done so the beginning to agitate for uniform ac-

When the smoke cleared away from the battleground where Mrs. Roosevelt and Senator Thomas Schall fought out the matter of subsistence homesteads it became evident that considerable progress has been made recently by the administration with this part of its relief program. Relief heads from New England and middle Atlantic states are in Washington now making plans to let destitute rural residents produce part of their own food and work part time for the cash they need to live. Today President Roosevelt formally opens an exhibit of articles already being made at subsistence homestead projects and of models for future communities. Thirty-five projects have been announced so far. Ten million dollars has been | allocated and tentative plans have j been made for spending another sis- ; teen million.

CORD LINKED TO MAIL PLOT BY SENATOR AUSTIN Republicans Rally to Attack Administration on. Air Contract Issue. By Brrippt-Hntrnrfi \runpnprr Alliance WASHINGTON, April 24—Stepping out of the role of defending former Postmaster-General Walter F. Brown. Republican senators today were to take the aggressive and asI sail the Roosevelt administration for I canceling air mail contracts by : launching counter-charges in the I senate. “I shall undertake to prove that ; the cancellation order was not issued because any collusion or fraud | had been linked to the former conI tracts, but that it resulted from plot- ! ting by non-subsidized operators. | Collusion was only an afterj thought,” Senator Warren R. Aus- | tin 'Rep., Vt.), said today just be- ! sere taking the floor to resume debate against the McKellar-Black bill. “This plotting really began with E. L. Cord.” Senator Austin conI tinued. The Vermont Republican said he | would show Mr. Cord's interest in ! cancellation of contracts began as far back as February. 1932. The senator was fortified with numerous j documents and hearings as he took the floor, including testimony before j the house appropriations committee more than two years ago, when former Postmaster-General Brown was questioned. During these proceedings Representative Joseph W. Byrns 'Dem., Tenn.i said he had been advised that Mr. Cord had offered to carry the mails for one-half what the operators were then being paid. Senator Austin said he would also show that certain independent operators attempted to get NRA to effect cancellations through provisions in the aviation code. In his opening speech against the administration measure Senator Austin reviewed and analyzed high spots of testimony before the special senate committee investigating air mail. He warned against approval of the administration measure, which provides for one year competitive bids and the appointment of a special commission to investigate the entire aviation set-up and report to congress at the opening of the next session.
