Policy of New Deal

Senator Byrnes Goes to_White House Shortly After ~~ * Public Demand That Dixie Get More Equitable Share of Relief Funds.

By THOMAS L. STOKES : Times Special Writer | : WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—The Southern and more conservative wing -of the Democratic Party in Congress is demanding from President Roosevelt that it be consulted more mm formulating policy and taken more into Mr. Roosevelt's confidence henceforth. The South's emissary in seeking a more co-operative relationship is ~ Senator Byrnes of South Carolina, who is well qualified for the role by

his diplomatic nature and from his

once very close association with the

‘White House before the days when a group of brain trust insiders gained

the ascendency. : The South Carolinian visited Mr. Roosevelt at the White House yester‘day for a general talk fresh from an important address in New York which, carrying a significant under- - tone of Congressional independence ‘and more recognition for the South, : demanded, as a first concession, that “\gontrol of relief funds be taken from one man and more authority in distributing funds be given to Congress. . Senator Byrnes claimed that the South had been discriminated against an relief distribution in favor of New York and big urban Democratic centers in the North and East. His criticism of relief methods comes on top of that of other Southern sena{ors who have returned here and indicates that this will be one of the major issues in the coming session.

Deficiency Fund to Be Asked

h The first fruits of the claim for more recognition for the Southern . Jeadership in Congress appeared when WPA Administrator Harry L. Fiopkins, when asked about Senator Byrnes’ proposal for changes in relief methods, said that he himself would suggest some amendments and

that he expected changes to be made by Congress. . Mr. Hopkins’ announcement at a press conference yesterday that he was going to ask for a deficiency WPA appropriation was enough in itself to make certain a rough-and-tumble fight in the new Congress. He said he would seek the appropriation soon after Congress meets and that it would be to provide funds from March 1 through June 30. ‘Mr. Hopkins was careful to explain that he would confer with Congressional leaders about the proposed changes, and would not even discuss his own proposals until after he canvasses the situation with . these leaders. ’ He ‘and Senator Brynes went into consultation over the whole subject of relief, with which the South Carolina Senator is identified as ranking Democratic member of. the Appropriations Committee and as chairman of a special Relief Investigation Committee. Mr. Hopkins, however, insisted forcefully at the press conference that he is going to fight any proposal to turn control of relief back to the states, a suggestion made by ° some Southern Senators, but not with the support of Senator Byrnes.

Friend of Garner, Roosevelt

oF The South Carolina Senator also _ announced that he planned to introduce an amendment barring WPA political activity, similar to the Hatch amendment defeated by 8 narrow margin at the close of the last session. Mr. Hopkins said he favored this, and that Congress couldn’t lay too many restrictions about politics in relief as far as he was concerned. + “Jimmy” Byrnes, as he once was called fondly in White House circles is an ideal contact between the Southern leaders and the White House in the effort to produce a meeting of minds on policy to avoid an open break in the next two years. : He was relied upon heavily by the President on Capitol Hill in the

U.S. TOPUSHACTION ON MILK DEALERS

Consent Decrees Unlikely as Road to Settlement.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9 (U. P.)—Consent decrees apparently were eliminated today as a possible settlement of the antitrust suits against 43 individuals and 14 corporations in the milk distribution business. Attorney Lou McIntosh, representing the Associated Milk Dealers, Inc., yesterday asked Federal Judge Charles E. Woodward for a continuance of the case to “work out something with Mr, Arnold.” Mr. Arnold (Assistant U. S. Attorney General Thurman A. Arnold, in charge of the Government's “trust busting” program) indicated the Government was not interested in entering into consent decree but was “anxious to dispose of this matter

at an eaily date. Judge Woodward continued ar-

first Roosevelt Administration, and his relations have continued cordial even though his advice has not been sought in recent months as 'formerly. He also is a/close associate of Vice President Garner, who may use his influence against the President, in the behind-the-scene maneuvers at which he is so effective, unless some common understanding is’ 1eached on future policy. It was through Senator Byrnes that the Vice President bespoke his antipathy to Mr. Roosevelt's course during the sitdown strikes—in a resolution condemning -the sitdowns, which was sponsored by the South Carolina Senator.

Burke Says ke Will Introduce Amendment Calling For 6-Year Tenure.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (U. P.).— Senator Burke (D. Neb.) said today he would introduce a Constitutional amendment on the first day of the next Congress limiting Presidents of the United States to one term of six years each. Mr. Burke's announcement came with expansion of the controversy over the possibility of a third term for President Roosevelt. Mr. Burke, an opponent of most New Deal legislation and opposed to a third term, said his “compelling reason” for proposing such an amendment was what he saw as a trend toward more power for the Chief Executive. He said his statement was not directed at the present Administration solely, saying the general trend of government for many years had been in that di-

rection. Cites 1912 Plank’

He contended that President Jackson, in each of his messages to Congress, urged adoption of a single term. He also said the Democratic national convention in 1912 placed a plank in its platform calling for a single term. “Six years would be sufficient time for a President to place his program into operation,” Mr. Burke said, “Such a term would remove the President, immediately upon his induction into office, from consideration of a second term and he could concentrate his energies.” A single term would have the advantage, he said, of removing the President from a dual responsibility —as head of the nation and as head of the party which elected him.

Flat Feet Ask Jobs as Flat Feet

NEWARK, N. J, Dec. 9 (U. P.—The State Civil Service Commission had under advisement today the question of whether flat feet, like Floogies of the swing song, or Eulice: Peacock’s, the track star’s, should bar a man from the Police or Fire Department.

There is a ban against flatfooted cops but three flat‘footed men, William Eubanks, William Brown and Darnell Lloyd, appealed to the C. S. C. for permission to take the Police examination anyway. Their star witness was Peacock, former Temple University star, who took off his shoes and showed the Commissioners the feet with which he twice won the national Pentathlon title and once tied the world’s record of 10.3 seconds for the 100-meter dash. Peacock’s feet were quite flat.

MURDER CONSPIRACY CHARGED TO HOOSIER

Held Under Bond in Plot to ~ Have Father Slain.

RENSSELAER, Ind, Dec 9 (U. P.). —Ralph Myers, 45, who police said tried to buy his father’s murder for $700 to inherit a $75,000 estate, today ‘was held in jail under $5000 bond on a charge of conspiracy to commit murder. Bond was not furnished.

yesterday, State’s Attorney John E. Hopkins placed the charge against him.

Myers was arrested Wednesday as

of his father’s death, police asserted. The Peoria ‘gunmen,” however, were two State Policemen who laid a trap for Myers after he had talked to the “go-between,” whom police did not name, about murdering his father. The “go-between” then discussed the plot with a minister, who informed Myers’ father, George M. Myers, 71, of the plot. The elder Myers then called authorities into the case and the trap was planned. Myers’ father was not in court when the charge was placed against his son, nor would he make any statements. He is a wealthy, retired farmer.
