LIBERTY LEAGUE! GIVES CONGRESS RECOVERY 'TIPS' Demands Slash in Expenses, Return of Power to Legislature. By United Prr * WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.—The American Liberty League gave Con- \ gress a thought for the New Year j today by announcing a constltu- i tional recovery program ranging j from demand for abrupt curtail- j ment of government expenditures j to proposal for a review of execu- | tlve 'usurpation" of legislative power. The announcement said that in formulating recommendations "designed to put the nation's house in j order,” the league rejected the j "demagogical theory that legisla- 1 tion provides cures for all ills." The program was described as designed to "encourage the legislative branch to reassert its constitutional prerogatives." Program Is Outlined The 12-point program summar-1 ized: 1. THE BUDGET Appropnations are the most important matter of the coming session and bear vitally upon the preservation of American institutions. Treasury deficits should be brought to an abrupt end by reducing expenditures to the level of receipts. 2. RELIEF—A moderate appropriation properly may be made for direct relief for a limited period with provision thereafter for loans to such states as are unable to assume their full responsibilities for the care of the needy. 3. PUBLIC WORKS- -Expenditure of government funds for boondoggling and for local improvements under the guise of work-relief should be halted. Provision wisely may be j made for a program of productive ! public works on a greatly reduced but somewhat more extensive scale than in former years. Tax Revision Demanded 4 TAXATlON—Revision of revenue laws should be undertaken with a view to the elimination of in- \ equities. Provisions of the 1933 act * in which the taxing power is used to accomplish social objectives! rather than to raise revenue should i be repealed. 5. MON FITARY POLICIES —ln l anticipation of the expiration in January, 1937, of three-year emergency powers granted the President in connection with the adjustment of the gold content of the dollar and the use fa gold stabilization fund, the Congress should plan for a revision of monetary laws along sound lines. fi. GOVERNMENT AND BUSlNESS—Stastistical evidence indicates that recovery was stimulated by the Supreme Court decision invalidating the NRA The emasculated, useless and expensive national industrial recovery act should be allowed to lapse at its expiration on April 1, 1936. Death Sentence Attacked 7. PUBLIC UTILITIES The "death sentence" provision applying to public utility holding companies in the act of the 1935 session should be repealed. The activities of the Tennessee Valley Authority should be curbed. 8. SOCIAL SECURITY—Further study should be made of provisions of the new Social Security Act which places upon the Federal government responsibility for unemployment and old-age insurance which the 1932 Democratic platform declared should be dealt with entirely under state laws. 9. AGRICULTURE—In the view of many lawyers competent to express an opinion the AAA is patently unconstitutional. The Agricultural Adjustment Act and other laws relating- to agriculture should I be completely reyised with,a view to. the elimination of methods in conflict with the Constitution. Canadian Treaty Rapped 10. RECIPROCAL - TARIFFS— The Canadian trafle . agreement, illustrates strikingly the extent of the ! legislative power which has been j delegated bv the Congress to the executive. Congress should regain a ' veto power over treaties with foreign nations. 11. EXECUTIVE USURPATION— 1 The entire field of executive usur- ! pation of legislative power should be reviewed. 12. PRESERVATION OF THE CONSTITUTION—Congress has a definite responsibility for the pres- I ervation of our form of government j under the Constitution. A method Is provided for the consideration of j amendments which are in harmony with its fundamental principles, j Amendments which would overthrow the dual form of government or break down the division of authority among the executive, legislative and judicial branches are outside this category. They would make possible substitution of dictatorship for democracy. FORUM IS SCHEDULED ON FUTURE OF NEGRO John Reed Club Sponsors Discussion Here Tomorrow Night.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BORAH FRIENDS IN OHIO RALLY TO HISBANNER Observers Believe Senator Will Permit Use of Name in Primary. BY JOHN H. BREIEL COLUMBUS. 0., Dec. 26.—The rise of Senator William E. Borah as a potential nominee on the Re-; publican ticket has rallied the lib- j eral Idahoan's friends to his standard in Ohio. It is considered likely that Senator Borah, if sufficiently urged, will permit the use of his name by a ticket of candidates for the Ohio delegation to the national convention in Cleveland next June. If he does, it will upset plans of Ed D. Schorr, Republican state chairman, and other party ’eaders to keep the Ohio delegation unpledged—that is, pledged to a native son candidate who will step i out of the race after the first per- ! functory ballot. Should Senator Borah send a ticket into the primary, it is probable that Col. Frank Knox and Gov. Alf Landon will do likewise. The result would be a free-for-all fight in the party. Republican leaders contend the state will be in a better position nationally if the delegation is kept unpledged until it is determined which way the presidentiial wind was blowing. Leaves It to Friends Mr. Borah recently said he would do what his freinds in this state want him to do. Mr. Borah’s friends among Republican leaders include former United States Senator Roscoe C. McCulloch, George Bender, Cleveland party leader, and Daniel C. Morgan, former Cleveland city manager and unsuccessful candidate for the G. O. P. nomination for Governor in 1934. It is understood that Senator Borah has two tentative dates in Ohio \ —in Columbus in January and Cleveland in February. There has been considerable suspicion that Gov. Landon was planning to enter his name in this state anyway. The possibility arose after the Secretary of State’s office sent copies of the Ohio election laws governing the selection of party delegates to the "Kansas ( Coolidge.” Landon denied vigorously, however, that he had asked for the information, but the fact remains that it was sent. Mr. Landon has no particular friends carrying the ball for him in this state, but he generally, is popular. This was demonstrated by activity following the dispatch to him of the election law. Veteran party men say that if a vote were taken tomorrow, Mr. Landon probably would receive more than either Mr. Knox or Mr. Bo- | rah, although the picture is bound [ to change now since the Senator is in the race. Mr. Knox probably will receive a majority of support of the Republican press, should the Borah boom precipitate a good old rough and tumble fight for the delegation. Brown Backs Knox Mr. Knox’s champion is Clarence J Brown, Blanchester publisher and former candidate for Governor. Mr. Knox is to be the principal speaker at the Republican Editorial Association’s dinner in Columbus during the holidays. One thing certain, according to party leaders, is that Herbert Hoover will not get the support of Ohio, should he choose to run. ‘‘Anybody but Hoover,” is the general cry. There was apprehension that the native son plan advocated by Mr. Schorr and other leaders was engineered by Walter F. Brown, former Postmaster General under Hoover for the purpose of tricking the delegation into the Hoover camp. It is well established, however, that this is not the case, and that Mr. Brown and his Hoover men are out of the picture. It is reported that Mr. Brown will not succeed himself as national committeeman from Ohio when the post automatically becomes vacant next spring. BUTLER NIGHT WORK IS TO START FEB. 10 Second Semester Registration Set for Feb. 6. Dates for opening of Butler University's second semester evening division were announced today by I Prof. George F.
