ment: with Mayor . Fliorello H. La Guardia of New York, who told the subcommittee yesterday that cities throughout ‘the. country would be ‘unable to. care for WPA workers removed. from relief rolls. “Who will feed these people, if the Government: refuses to do it and the cities are unable to?” the President was asked. He replied that he was ‘asking himself that question. Mr. Adams said that so far as New York was concerned, the problem was “legal, not financial.” { “The Legislature has placed -restrictions on New York City spending” he said. “The city is not at the. limit of its financial capacity. It's at the end of its legal capacity. The Mayor ought to go before the Legislature and have that situation corrected.”

Florida Ship Canal And Quoddy Face Fight

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 (U. PJ). —President Rooseveit apparently| will meet stiff Congressional opposition in his efforts to renew work on the 197 million dollar Florida ship canal and the 337 million dollar Passamaquoddy, Me., tide-har-nessing project. Several members of the House ‘Appropriations Committee indicated that they would oppose “giving a nickel” to either project. Others commented unfavorably, recalling that Rep. Clifton A. Woodrum (D. Va.) obtained a specific pledge that no part of the 1938 relief appropridtion would be used for such construction. The President. asked Chairman Joseph J.. Mansfield (D. Tex), of

. the House Rivers and Harbors Com-

mittee, to consider the two projects again with a view to pressing action. Rep. Ralph Brewster (R. Me.) said he would introduce a bill soon to authorize appropriations for .£xperimental work at Passamaqueddy. Rep. R. \. Green (D. Fla.) already has offered a measure to authorize funds for the canal. Both Passamaguoddy and the Florida canal were started as relief] projects by the Roosevelt Admin-| istration in 1935; seven million dollars was spent on Passamaquoddy and $5,400,000 for the Florida passage. defore they were abandoned.

2 WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 (U. P.. " —Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.

- of State “governments and others by

a combinafion of Federal and State authority, he said. “The most serious difficulty is that farm prices and ‘income are at a terrific ‘disadvantage because the farm people now have less opportunity than formerly to exchange their products for goods made in cities,” he said,

300 Delegates There

More than 300 delegates attend-|\" ing the assembly also heard Governor Cochran of Nebraska urge elimination of interstate trade barriers. Mr. Cochran, president of the Council, said that “there are as many or more points of friction, trade walls and conflict among the states as at any time since the signing of the Constitution.” “If reciprocal’ trade and fax agreements are needed to foster our international economy, surely interstate compacts and reciprocal agreements are necessary to further our national economy,” he.said. Mr. Wallace and Governor Cochran were the first.of a zroup of important speakers before the fourday conference, composed: of Governors, legislators and. administrave officials of the 48 states.

F.D.R. Said to Be Ready To ‘Abandon’ Choice For NLRB.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 (4. P).—

Well-informed Senators said’ today

that Donald Wakefield Smith could not be ‘confirmed for another National Labor Relations Board term and that President Roosevelt probably would abandon him. Mr. Smith’s removal, under those circumstances, appeared fo be the alternative to an embarrassing repudiation of a major New Deal appointee. ‘He is serving now under a recess appointment put in the ordinary course his name would have to be submitted to the Senate for confirmation. > Mr. Roosevelt could avoid the dispute by sending up the name of some other and Mr. Smith would leave office on the confirmation of his successor. * Lewis’ Record Ditsinguished

Former Rep. David J. Lewis of ‘Maryland has been mentioned as a likely candidate for the job. Mr. Roosevelt backed Mr. Lewis last year in the so-called “purge” cam-

paign against Sehator Tydings, con-!

servative Democrat of Maryland. Senator Tydings was renominated. Mr. Lewis, a Democrat of long

and distinguished record, abandoned his seat in the House to carry New Deal colors in the Democratic primary ‘campaign. He is 69 years old, considerably beyond the average of Roosevelt appointments. Mr. Roosevelt already has found new responsibilities for some other New Dealers who suffered primary or ' general election defeats. He named former Senator Pope (D. Idaho) to the TVA. Former Governor Murphy of Michigan was confirmed yesterday as Attorney General.
