1 * Leaders Favored in for Control

Simpson of New York, Backer of Dewey and Barton, Leads Progressives, but Pennsylvania Group Has Edge by Victory, Clapper Says.

(Gallup Poll, Page 11)

By RAYMOND CLAPPER Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—Republicans have some important policy problems to discuss in connection with their National Committee meeting here this week which brings together most of the active party

leaders.

First of ail Republicans are divided as to how progressive their party shall be. Whether it shall try to compete with the humanitarian program of President Roosevelt or carry on the fight which the Liberty League abandoned after its crushing defeat in 1936.

Chief representative of the progressive wing will be the new New York national committeeman, Kenneth Simpson, an aggressive, fortyish, venturesome redhead, who, in his own way doesn’t care much more for precedents than Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Simpson is the man behind Tom Dewey and Bruce Barton, and the man who made some trades with Fiorello La Guardia and the JAmerican Labor Party in New York in order to advance the interests of the Republican Party. Die-hard Republican reactionaries have been shocked that Mr. Simpson should try to do business with anybody who was not on the good books of the Liberty League promoters, and they have not only withheld contributions from him but some of them are demanding his head. Mr. Simpson gets around a good deal. He has discovered that the world has moved and he thinks it only appropriate that the Republican Party also move ahead. Following that line, he almost electea Mr. Dewey as New York Governor, losing by some 60,000 out of almost five million votes, against the strongest candidate the Democrats had.

“But he lost and that prevents him from holding the dominant position in the party which he would have taken had he elected Mr. Dewey. As it is he still has some chips in the

game, but as he looks around the|

table he sees several large rivals, well-heeled with blue chips. There are the Pennsylvania Republicans who swept their State - earlier this month, and with a sec-ond-rate reactionary candidate, Ar- . thur James. These Pennsylvania Republicans, with a large squad of “fat cats” such as | Joseph Pew (oil), Ernest Weir (steel), Joe Grundy (big business lobbyist) and Jay Cooke (capitalist) think the way to beat the New Deal is to fight it and they are set to wipe it off the face of the map. When Mr. Simpson tries

to tell them the party can’t get any-|-

where on that line, they simply point to the election returns and show him that they elected their Governor and he didn’t elect his. This group will hold the second ‘ largest block of delegates in the Re‘publican nominating convention. '* Close by are the Ohio and Michigan conservative Republicans who won ‘pack their states.’ While there are a number of pro- . gressive young Republicans ready to ‘ join Mr. Simpson—such as Gover- ‘ nor-elect Harold Stassen of Minnesota and Governor-elect Ratner of Kansas—the conservative Republicans have the edge. Furthermore, ‘National Committee headquarters is sympathetic to their attitude as to . what the party policy should be. So on the whole the controlling pres- ' sure within the party is more likely to be conservative than otherwise. Another question confronting the Republicans relates to tactics in the coming session of Congress.” All eyes will be on the Republicans this winter. They have the alternatives of striking out on their own, or of keeping their heads down and work-

#7 ing under cover with anti-Roose-

velt Democrats. During the last two years they have followed the latter policy with remarkable success. They can continue that coalition policy, but while

it has the advantage of getting re-|.

,sults, it also has the disadvantage of making it difficult for the party to establish a record before the ' country. On the other hand, if the : Republicans step out with a savage, down-the-line attack on the Administration, they seize the headlines, but that policy also tends to drive the Democrats back toward the Administration.

C.1, 0. OFFERS TOHALT STRIKE

Bittner Says Men Will Go Back if Stockyards Will Negotiate.

CHICAGO, Nov. 28 (U. P).— C. I. O. leaders offered today to end the week-old strike which has paralyzed the Chicago livestock market if the Union Stock Yards & Transit Co. would negotiate for a written contract. : The offer was made after an attempt to reopen the market with A. F. of L. stock handlers .failed. A. F. of L. leaders announced 350 handlers had returned to work but a survey of the yards at 10:30 a. m. showed only three A. F. of L. men at work. - The offer of a settlement was made by Van A. Bittner, director of the C. 1. O, drive to organize the packing industry. The striking handlers are members of a union affiliated with the C. I. O.s packing house workers’ organizing committee,

Suggests Negotiations

Mr. Bittner proposed that the men return to work while the union and the company negotiate the other issues on which the strike was called . last Monday—a closed shop, the check-off, time and onehalf for overtime and pay increases for 65 men receiving less than 62% cents an hour. “The management's refusal to bargain is a serious defiance of United States law,” Mr. Bittner asserted. (The C. I. O. has been designated as the bargaining agent of the stock yard handlers.) “However, if it takes a strike in all the Armour plants throughout the country to enforce the laws of the United States, the packing house workers’ organizing committee, as an American organization, will do its part.” He explained that Frederick A. Prince, president of Armour, is head of the Union Stock Yard & Transit Co.

HUNDREDS PATROL _ FOREST FIRES SCENE

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 28 (U. P)). —Several hundred men remained today to guard against resurgence of brush fires which denuded more than 50,000 acres of timber and brush in Southern California since last Wednesday. Only occasional “spot” blazes remained to be watched by the fire fighters as forest supervisors and fire chiefs officially reported the conflagrations under control. ; Damages to homes, cabins, resorts and other actual property was estimated to be in ®excess of $6,000,000 in the Santa Monica and San Bernardino Mountain regions.

NEW TRIAL DENIED OFFICER’S SLAYER

MICHIGAN CITY, Nov. 28 (U. P.).—Superior Judge Russell W. Smith today denied a new trial to Orelle Easton, Valley City, N. D., farm youth under sentence of

death for the slaying of State Policeman Ray Dixon last June 26.

FORECASTS POSSIBLE TRADE BREAKDOWN

WINNIPEG, Man., Nov. 28 (U, P.). —Sir George Paish, noted British economist, warned today that a

breakdown of world trade may occur within a year unless the current policy of self-sufficiency pursued. by almost every nation in the world is liberalized. Sir George declared that this trade breakdown first would lead to a world revolution, then to a world war in which nations “would battle desperately against starvation.” - “Every nation in the world must reverse its present tariff policy if the impending disaster is to be avoided,” he said. “The trade treaties between the United States, Canada and Great Britain might help to prevent the catastrophe, but only if they are followed by further action in freeing world trade.” : The economist believed that Nazi Germany's anti-Semitic persecution was prompted by the third Reich’s ciesperate need for cash. :

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 (U. P.).— Treasury figures showed today that

red almost twice as fast now as in the previous fiscal year, Comparisons must be approximate because final reports for the first four months of the fiscal year will not be published until Dec. 2. But

the net deficit figures indicate that the Govermnent’s average spending beyond income each month since this fiscal year started has been almost 330 million dollars compared; with an excess of spending over receipts of about 170 million a month one year ago. "President Roosevelt has had some budget discussions with visitors at Warm Springs, Ga., where he is on his annual Thanksgiving holiday. He will take up the budget for final decisions when he returns here. A business upturn is considerably relieving the anxiety of Administration officials.over budget prospects

4 Months of Pump Priming Sends Business Indexes Up

Deal’s second’ pump priming program. 5 - Between July and October the Federal Reserve industrial production index jumped from 83 to 96— the 1923-25 average equals 100— while the index of income payments increased from 81.3 to 83.7. Income payments for 1929 are used as a Baty for computation of the latter index.

During this period the Administration was pumping millions of dollars into business and industrial channels in its second attempt to pull the nation out of a depression. Efforts to curb its first major spending program were followed by a recession in the fall of 1937.

Disbursements of the two leading Government spending agencies and the trend of business indexes between July and October follow: Industrial Income WPA & PWA Production Payments July .. $172,205,344 83 $1.3 August.. 193,997,764 88 82.5 Sept. ... 205,643,243 90 83.2 October. 220,811,543 96 88.7

and lend in the three billion dollar program passed at the conclusion’ of the 75th Congress, has allocated all of its’ $750,000,000, but disbursement for projects is delayed until formal contracts are executed. If November figures were available PWA disburse= ments would be much larger since officials have announced that more than half the projects approved are under construction. The Reconstruction Finance Corp.: also has played an important role in the recovery drive. The agency loaned $314,088,954 in July, $79,595,= 032 in August, and $53,719,140 in September. The Farm Security Administra tion, which obtained approximately 130 million dollars in the lending= spending bill, set it aside for rehabilitation loans to distressed farme ers... ; Although WPA participation in the program was scheduled to be confined to the $1,500,000.000 allocated for use through February, there have been reports that officials planned to ask Congress for ade ditional funds for use effective

On the basis of current spending and tax trends it is quite probable that Mr. Roosevelt will end his second ‘erm with an uninterrupted series of Treasury deficits. Income was lagging behind expenditures a year ago but the lag is practically doubled today because Mr. Roosevelt has spent more in tine first four months of this fiscal year than in the ‘previous comparative period while, simultaneously, Federal tax collections were obtaining less revenue,
