Morgenthau Aid's Resignation

Laid to Foreign Policy Dispute;

Neutrality Is

Congress Also Takes No Action on Wagner Act Change.

(Gen. Johnson, Page 18)

By LEE G. MILLER Times Special Writer ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. — The 76th Congress, in session more than six weeks now, has not lifted a finger toward amending the Wagner

Labor Relations Act or the so-called Neutrality Act — two issues which had been billed for major fights. Nor does any early action seem to be in prospect. The Senate Education and Labor Committee has made no plans for hearings on the Wagner act... The Senate Foreign Relations Committee has scheduled no meetings on the Neutrality Act, part of which expires May 1. On the House side, the corresponding committees are similarly inactive. President Roosevelt criticized the Neutrality Act, in his annual message to Congress, as “uneven” and “unfair.” But his leaders at the Capitol are apparently skeptical of their chances of getting the sort of amendments he desires, in view of the continuing commotion over the affair of the French airplanes. The airplane incident has put the isolationists on the qui vive against any move to give the President greater authority over foreign policy.

Amendments in Committee

Acting Chairman Sol Bloom (D. N. Y.), of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, indicated that this group would let the Senate make the first move on neutrality. Chairman Pittman (D. Nev.) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said there was no rush about the matter. A few days ago Senator Elbert Thomas (D. Utah), a member of the Pittman committee, introduced amendments to the Neutrality Act which would go a long way toward giving the President what he wants. These amendments, which Mr. Thomas offered without consulting the White House, would in effect permit the President—if both Houses of Congress consented—to permit ‘the shipment of munitions to a nation attacked by an aggressor, while forbidding such shipments .to the aggressor. : The President, it is believed, would prefer to have this power exclusively, without the collaboration of Congress. But there is no certainty that he could even get so much as the Thomas amendments, in view of the ironbound oppesition of Senators Bennett Champ Clark (D. Mo.), Nye (R. N. D.) and others of the “neutrality bloc.” Senator Clark said today he thought the Senate would reject the Thomas amendments if they came to a vote. Two Proposals Received The view of the Administration is believed to be that of Rep. Bloom, who said : na : “I don’t believe that you can legislate real neutrality. Congress can’t foresee every future situation and provide for it by statute. The President and the State Department always know a great many things about foreign affairs that give them a better background in handling such matters. As to the Wagner act, Senator Thomas said the two sets of amendments introduced by Senator Walsh (D. Mass.) and Burke (D. Neb.) had been submitted by the Senate Labor Committee to the Labor Department ‘and National Labor Relations Board for analysis and comment. Meanwhile, neither the Senatorial sponsors of the amendments nor the A. F. of L., which backs the Walsh amendments, has asked the Committee for hearings. Chairman Thomas indicated it was not even certain that hearings would be held at this session. The A. F. of L. itself, he said, is divided on the question of amending the Wagner act. A delegation of Western A. F. of L. men called on him this week to oppose amendments. The C. I. O. wants the act left unchanged. Senator Thomas himself thinks it would be better to let the Courts interpret the act further before trying to rewrite it.

MURPHY READY T0 BATTLE FOR BETTER JUDGES

Louisiana and New Jersey Vacancies Likely to Cause Fight.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Attorney General Murphy has undertaken a man-sized job in his attempt to clean up and reorganize the Justice Department, to select high-caliber men for Federal judgeships, and generally to put the judiciary on a plane as far out of reach of politics as possible. He is off to a flying start. Already he has won cheers for his judicial selections, for his promptness in moving into several sore spots such as the Judge Martin T. Manton case in New York, and for an apparent intention to do some shaking up within the Justice Department. His chief obstacle will be those waves of political pressure that are brought to bear upon a Cabinet member, which come more often than would be suspected from the realm of higher-up officials as well as from the politically minded in Senate and House. Already there are evidences of a fight behind the scenes over certain appointments in which Mr. Murphy finds himself aligned against politicians with important backing.

Fights Are Brewing

In this contest the Justice Department chief is favored by his in-

instinet for dealing with politicians, nurtured by long experience in pub-

lic office. He has conciliatory talents. Part of Mr. Murphy’s creed, according to his friends, is that it is good politics .to ap men to public office. 0, it is difficult for politiciaxs to make an issue over an outstanding appointment. There are numerous stories of how

in Michigan he made appointments

contrary to the wishes of close political friends. The new Attorney General intends to be a factor and not another official who merely takes orders. He will run into fights, but he is not adverse to conflict. Some are brewing now, it is apparent from the long delay in filling several Federal judgeships, in particular two—one in New Jersey,

erful - political forces are at work that have a “claim upon President Roosevelt and the Administration.

Hague May Give Trouble

The conflict in New Jersey is with Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City, Democratic National Committee vice chairman, who proved a potent ally in 1936, is closely associated with Postmaster General Farley, and has gained national notoriety by his antilabor activities and suppression of civil liberties. Mr. Hague wants Judge Thomas Glynn Walker of: the State Court of Errors and Appeals to be named Federal District Judge, and has exerted his influence in that direction recently. In Louisiana, the former Huey Long machine is trying to get a judgeship for Governor Leche. These two cases will prove a test for the new Attorney General. The President, of course, has the last word. Mr. Murphy will find himself on occasion up against strong political necessity, as evidenced by Mr. Roosevelt’s appointment of Senator Barkley’s campaign manager, Shackelford Miller Jr., as Federal Judge in Kentucky. The Senate leader has a strong claim on the

President.

Taylor Letter to White House , Indicates Disagreement.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (U. P.). —Official sources saw today in the resignation of Wayne Chatfield Taylor as Assistant Treasury Secretary a new ramification of the current controversy over the Administration’s foreign policy. Mr. Taylor, whose resignation was announced by the White House yes-

terday, was said to have differed with Secretary Morgenthau over

Treasury policies, especially with |g

regard to international fiscal affairs. A hint of this divergence of opinfon was contained in Mr. Taylor's letter of resignation to President Roosevelt, dated Feb. 7, in which he said “circumstances have arisen which make it desirable for me to post.” An authoritative source said he resigned to make room for someone

‘whose views coincide more closely

with those of Secretary Morgenthau and the New Deal. : Mr. Taylor was reported to have contended that the Treasury was becoming involved in international matters with which it ‘was not rightfully concerned and that it was’ seeking to aid certain nations on the basis of political ideologies rather than on fiscal and economic grounds.

Approved Some Policies

It was said he disagreed particuiarly with the, Treasury's action in purchasing 10 ‘million dollars’ worth of silver from the Spanish Loyalist

Government and to have opposed the reported co-operation given by the Treasury to the Loyalists in getting the silver out of Spain. The part played by his Department in promoting the sale of planes to France was said to have been another matter on which he broke with Secretary Morgenthau. Mr. Taylor agreed, however, with the Treasury’s program to develop better fiscal and monetary relations with South American nations and also was in accord with the policies

monetary agreement between France, Great Britain and the United States. Domestically, Mr. Taylor's chief differences with Secretary Morgenthau concerned the Treasury's banking policies and its fundamental approach to banking problems, it was said.

Wilson Testimony Is Kept Secret

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (U. P). —Hugh Wilson, U. S. Ambassador to Germany, today told the Senate Military Affairs Committee his views on the European situation but insisted that his testimony be kept secret. Committee members said Mr. Wilson demanded that clerks and the official stenographer be dismissed from the room before he would talk. “The Ambassador gave us just a general picture,” one member said. “He refused to answer many questions on the ground that his usefulness abroad might be impaired.” Chairman Morris Sheppard (D. Tex.) said Mr. Wilson was heard “on the same basis as Ambassadors Joseph Kennedy and William Bullitt were heard recently at a joint session of the Senate and House Military Affairs Committees. “No record of the testimony was taken and nothing is to be said about it,” Senator Sheppard said. Mr. ‘Wilson held a brief conference with Senator Sheppard and several Democratic members of the committee before testifying. He left the hearing with War Secretary Woodring, who appeared to make recommendations on the National Defense Bill passed by the House.

tant than continuation of a feud which had inflicted its toll upon the whole country, brought about a more moderate set of resolutions. The leader in this effort was William L. Batt, president of SKF Industries of Philadelphia, chairman of the resolutions committee for N. A. M., who has now become one of the most important of the Hopkins liaison men with business.

Gesture Is Snubbed

In recognition of that friendly gesture of co-operation from N. A. , Secretary Hopkins indicated after becoming Commerce Secretary that he would like to make his first address under the auspices of that organization. : An amazing reaction occurred within N, A. M. Moderates on the executive committee wanted to invite Secretary Hopkins. But the conservative faction said only on: condition that Mr. Hopkins allow them to see the advance text of. his speech. Apparently they feared the N. A. M. would be placed in the light of indorsing anything Mr. Hopkins might say, and wanted to scrutinize his remarks in advance. Moderates talked this plan down and obtained a compromise on the minimum demands of the conservatives, namely that Secretary Hopkins . should write the association a letter saying he would like to speak and asking to be invited. When that proposition was put to/ Secretary Hopkins, he resented it, said he couldn’ see why N. A. M. wouldn’t take his word without his having to put it in writing, and then accepted another of the hundred or so’ pending invitations, one from the Economic Club’of Des Moines, Towa, where he will speak next week. It would be news to some of the N. A. M. diehards perhaps that Secretary Hopkins intervened to help save some 20 small steel companies from impossible conditions which were about to be inflicted upon them under the WalshHealey Act, by which the Government fixes wage rates for concerns working on Government contracts. Rates were set at a level which Bethlehem Steel could easily meet but which would mean bankruptcy for most smaller independents. When the facts were laid before Secretary Hopkins he intercepted. Regulations were changed so that weaker companies will have some protection. :

Democrats to Ask

Cause of Losses

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (U. P.) — House Democrats sought today to determine from their experiences in the 1938 campaign what policies they must pursue to retain control of Congress in 1940. ih ‘A subcommittee of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, ‘headed by Rep. William P. Cole (D. Md.) drafted a questionnaire to be sent to majority party members to elicit information that could be used by all Democrats in preparing for the next campaign. A tentative draft of 10 questions has been prepared, it was learned, but the three members of the subcommittee refused to reveal them pending a decision as to giving them publicity. Ths other two members are Rep. John M. Houston (D. Kas.) and Butler B. Hare (D. S. C). Chairman Patrick H. Drewry (D. Va.) is- scheduled to appoint two additional members to the subgroup soon. : The suggested questions, it was indicated, seek members’ views on these two subjects: 1. What was responsible for the change in your district between 1936 and 1938? 2. What ways and means do you suggest for counteracting ‘the Republican trend in 1940?

G. O. P. Committee Named

Rep. Drewry sdid defeated Democrats also would. be questioned as. to their views on reasons for their defeat. The militant House minority of 169 Republicans, meanwhile, gave evidence of further fight when Minority Floor Leader Joseph W. Martin (R. Mass.) announced appointment of a special committee to examine the extraordinary powers of the President. Rep. Martin named 17 members, headed by Rep. Jesse P. Wolcott (R. Mich.) and including Rep. Noble J. Johnson (R. Ind.). “Six years of costly experimentation under the ‘emergency’ theory of Government has demonstrated that vast discretionary powers vested in the President have not solved our urgent economic and social problems,” Rep. Martin said. Rep. Martin said the committee would advise the minority on such powers as the authority to revalorize the gold dollar, to operate an exchange stabilization fund, to print three billion dollars in greenbacks, and to continue Reconstruction Finance Corp. lending. Most of these powers expire next June 30.

Senate Committee Restores TVA Funds

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (U. P)). —The Senate Appropriations Committee reported favorably today a bill carrying $1,668,218,340 for independent offices, including a disputed 17 million dollar item for construction of two Ténnessee Valley Luthority dams. : The net increase in the Senate bill over that passed by the House was $17,131,000. The Committee eliminated $75,000 for the Mount Rushmore National Memorial Commission because a similar amount was included in the first deficiency bill. .By a vote of 18 to 6, the Committee upheld its subcommittees recommendation for restoration of $12,500,000 for construction of Gilbertsville Dam, and by a vote of 13 to 11 approved $4,500,000 for Watts Bar Dam. j Both these items had been eliminated by the House.
