Garner Boom Pleases G.O.P. as Best Means

Of Splitti

Republicans Think Vice President Could Be Beaten Easily.

By THOMAS L. STOKES

Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, April 3—The

currently flourishing boom for Vice |

President Garner as 1940 Democratic Presidential nominee is being observed with relish privately by some Republicans here. They would like to encolrage it, because they feel that Mr. Garner would not make as attractive a candidate as his sponsors picture him. what with his age—he will be 71 in November—and the role of veteran politician in which he naturally will be cast. They think the electorate will prefer a newer and fresher figure in these times. Mr. Garner is not yet an active candidate for President but would accept the 1940 Democratic nomination, it is known here today cn

the basis of well authenticated in- oes

formation. Farley Is Possibility

It is believed that he would prefer Postmaster General Farley as his Vice Presidential running mate. A complication there is that Mr. Farley also is a Presidential possibility and a rather good one. Political observers believe a Gar-ner-Farley ticket would be politically sound barring a Left Wing New Deal rebellion. Some New Deal brigade commanders probably would bolt such a ticket. The final] test of the political strength of such | a combination would depend largely: on President Roosevelt's attitude.

Mr. Roosevelt might bolt a Gar-|

ner-Farley nomination. Some persons believe he would convict him-

HOPKINS PUSHES BILL PROPOSED AS BUSINESS AID

Asks Revision to Provide Research Facilities for Small Firms.

|

WASHINGTON, April 3 (U. P) — Secretary of Commerce Harry L. Hopkins today urged Congress to provide research facilities for small

business so that four million small businessmen will have a better

In the first legislative proposal of his business recovery program, Mr. Hopkins asked that a bill now before Congress be amended so as to “be directed particularly to the vital needs of small business enterprises.” This bill was designed to promote business and economic research, establishing research stations in the various states. Mr. Hopkins said his proposed changes in the bill were modeled on existing legislation which established research faciilties for the | benefit of farmers. | He revealed his views in a letter {to Chairman Clarence F. Lea (D. 'Cal) of the House Interstate Com- | merce Committee. “Our large enterprises are able to undertake extensive research de- | signed to increase efficiency, widen their markets and improve their competitive position,” Mr. Hopkins wrote.

delegations to Mr. Roosevelt permitted his first nomination in 1932. Washington does not know what Mr. Roosevelt intends to do. thoughtful analysis of his position is that the President today is not a candidate but would be receptive to the nomination if his re-election appeared to be reasonably likely.

Roosevelt in Key Spot

Republicans count even more important for their chances, in event the Vice President were selected, their conviction that his nomination, which would put Democratic conservatives back in control of the party, would split the party wide open. President Roosevelt still is the most important single factor in the 1940 picture. What he will do, ‘where he will go, is the chief consideration, not only of Democrats but of Republicans. Despite Repub- |

lican spoofing that, as a candidate

himself, he could not possibly be elected, they fear him. Likewise, they would not look so confidently, privately, at their chances if Democrats chose a strong progressive ticket which Mr. Roosevelt would campaign for aectively on the stump. Republicans have not yet raised up a figure who can match the President as a champion before the rank and file of voters. Young Thomas E. Dewey now is the leading Republican candidate and is reported to have attracted voters far and wide.

Douglas Now Talked

A recent Gallup poll indicated Mr. Dewey President by a narrow margin. Such polis, at this stage, are of course inconclusive, not shaken down sufficiently

equations.

In looking to 1940 and the possi-|

bility of a split in the Democratic! Party, Republicans think back to! one of their own mishaps, vear 1912, when Theodore Roosevelt, disgruntled over the renomination

JUNIOR CHAMBER TO NAME OFFIGERS

The annual Junior Chamber of Commerce election dinner is to be held at 6:30 p. m. today at the Athenaeum. The bi-monthly board of directors meeting will follow. Officers are Edward J. Green, president; Francis M. Hughes, executive vice president, Urban K. Wilde, secretary, and J. Albert Smith, treasurer.

his Bull Moosers. That party split gave victory to the Democrats under Woodrow Wilson. If it is true that Republicans have not yet raised up a figure who has the stump magic and platform ap{peal of President Roosevelt—unless | Mr. Dewey turns out to be such a wizard—it likewise is true that Mr. Roosevelt has not been able to produce anyone within his own party who can match him in this respect. The inside New Deal political group, the king-makers, have floated a couple of booms that have not seemed to go off, trying first with Solicitor General Robert H. Jackson of New York and second with Secretary Hopkins of Towa and New York. Now there is talk of another younger man who has risen rapidly, William O. (Call Me Bill) Dougias, whom President Roosevelt has elevated to the Supreme Court.

New Dealers to Risk Defeat

The latter, though without political experience, might make a fighting opponent for Tom Dewey, who also is short in political experience, but demonstrably a vote-getter as he showed in the whirlwind race he | made against Governor Iehman in {New York. The fundamental philosophy on which President Roosevelt proceeds as to 1940 is that the Democratic Party must remain a progressive [party. To that end, he will bend all | his energies to nomination of a New Dealer.

Senate Committee Upholds

House Cut in WPA Funds

WASHINGTON, April 3 (U. P.).—A Senate Appropriations Subcom-

mittee rejected today a motion to restore the 50-million-dollar cut by the

approved by the House. The Committee's vote against the 150 million requested by Mr. Roose= velt was reportedly 8 to 2, with Senators McKellar (D. Tenn) and Overton (D. Lia) voting for it. Chairman Alva B. Adams (D. Colo.) said no vote was taken on the 100 million figure, and that a recess was decided upon to give members an opportunity to discuss a possible further reduction in the ampunt. Chairman Glass (D. Va.) of the full Appropriations Committee and an opponent of the Administration's spending policies was ready to call his group together tomorrow if the subcommittee reports today. Senator Glass will oppose any attempts to raise the 100-million figure, contending that that is “more than ample.” While the Senate entered the final stages of the President’s fight over relief funds, the House Appro-|P priations Committee prepared for an inquiry of WPA. Chairman Edward T. Taylor (D. Colo.) called the House Appropriations Committee to meet tomorrow to dispose of preliminary steps.

Food Stamp Program To Start About May 1

WASHINGTON, April 3 (U. P). —The food stamp program for subsidizing consumption of surplus foods by the needy will be started in a Northeastern city about May 1. Federal Surplus Commodities Corp. officials said selection of the first city will be made in about a week from eight cities surveyed in Northeastern states by Phillip Maquire, FSCC vice president. Two Northeastern cities—Allen= town, Pa, and Rochester, N. Y— are being given most serious consideration. Officials expect to have the plan in operation in six cities of approxi= mately 300,000 population by early June. A trial period of two to four months will be necessary before the FSCC decides whether to place the program on a national scale. At least one city will be selected from the Pacific Coast, one from the South and probably two from the Middlewest, one of which would

be west of the Mississippi River.

HIGH COURT AGGEPTS SALARY TAX DISPUTE

WASHINGTON, April 3 (U. P).— The Supreme Court today agreed to consider another phase of Federal income tax application by accepting a case involving the right of the

Government to tax the salary of a Federal judge. Tpe case follows the action of the court last week in ending reciprocal immunity of Federal and State salaries from taxation. The cowt in a brief session failed to present decisions in two important cases pending before it-. the Strecker case testing the right of the Government to deport alien Communists and the appeal of Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City from an injunction restraining him from interference with civil rights guaranteed by the Constitution. The new tax ruling was insured when the court agreed to hear argument in the Government's appeal from a Nebraska Federal District Court decision holding imposition of an income tax on the salary of U. S. Circuit Judge Joseph W. Woodrough unconstitutional. The Woodrough dispute arose over a clause of the 19368 Revenue Act providing that Federal income taxes be imposed on salaries of all Federal judges appointed after June 6, 1932. Judge Woodrough fell within that category bui charged that the tax, in effect, constituted a salary cut which was prohibited by the Constitution.

DISMISSAL OF BEER APPEAL IS SOUGHT

The State Alcoholic Beverages Commission today declared there can be no appeal of its order deny= ing beer wholesalers’ permits. Attorneys for the administrative body asked the five Marion County Superior Court judges, sitting in general term court, to dismiss a Winslow beer wholesalers’ appeal of the Commission's denial of a permit. The judges took the case under ads visement. Recent amendments of the State Liquor Law provide for appeals from the Commission to the Marion County courts. The Supreme Court a week ago refused to restrain the general term court from hearing the appeal. Attorneys for Omer Klipsch, the wholesaler, argued that the Commission had no right to deny any permit for “economic reasons,” al leging that the Commission must grant permits to all those “who qualify under the law.”

BENNY LEAVES FOR TRIAL IN NEW YORK

HOLLYWOOD, April 3 (U, P.) Jack Benny, radio and screen coe median, was en route to New York via airplane today for final determination of his trial on smuggling charges.

He previously had indicated he would seek to change his guilty plea to one of nolo contendere and, if unsuccessful in this, would plead guilty. It

of Agriculture. The TVA would retain control over distribution of power from the dams to consumers.

TVA Left as Found

The investigation leaves TVA just as it found it, Rep. Thomas A. Jenkins (R. Ohio) asserted in the minority report which said that the ma jority made no constructive suggestions, “It finds only a few minor irregularities and timidly suggests a few minor changes,” Rep. Jenkins said. “If Congress accepts the ma= jority report the TVA will feel that it has been completely exonerated and will continue its arrogance, bold tactics and its extravagant program with little regard for the law and with no regard for the rights of the people.” Joining Rep. Jenkins in the minority report were Senator Davis (R. Pa.) and Rep. Charles A. Wolverton (R. N. J). One Republican, Senator Frazier (N. D.) signed the majority report. Rep. Jenkins criticized selection of Francis Biddle as chief counsel for the committee because of his former New Deal connections and said that “subsequent events abundantly justified my fears.” He said that the chief engineer, Thomas A. Panter, never contributed anything for the record. He urged that TVA be curbed because it is “more powerful financially and politically than the seven states within which it operates.”

Claim Flood Heights Cut

Regarding the flood control aspects of TVA, which have been criticized by opponents as a blind for power development, the majority said:

“The 10-dam progiam when comspleted will reduce flood heights at Chattanooga, the most critical point on the Tennessee River, by about seven or eight feet, and will aid in the reduction of floods on the Ohio and Mississippi.” The committee, headed by Senator Donahey (D. O.) recommended that the TVA be permitted to continue its construction program. Those sighing the majority report were Senators Donahey, Frazier, Sehwartz (D. Wyo.) and Mead (D. N. Y.) and Reps. R. Ewing Thomason (D. Tex.) and Graham A. Barden (D. N.

Dr. Morgan Has Little To Say About Report

COLUMBUS, O, April 3 (U. P). Dr. Arthur E. Morgan, former chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority, had little to say today about the report of the joint Congressional Committee which upheld the TVA administration. Dr. Morgan, in Columbus for a luncheon club talk, said that he would make no critical comment until he had read the full report, and possible not then. “I think I know what is in the report from the way the investigation was conducted,” Dr. Morgan said.

MARCH TAX REGEIPTS TOTAL $505,772,709

WASHINGTON, April 8 (U, P). ~The Treasury revealed today that income tax collections in March totaled $505,772,709, approximately 25 per cent less than last March but considerably better than had been anticipated. The Treasury had cautiously estimated that March collections would be $425,000,000. Income tax collections in the first nine months of the fiscal year were $1,744 526,031, compared with $1,995,073,343 last year. The Government’s spending in these nine months exceeded income hy $2,374,176,124, while the deficit in the same period last year totaled $723,057,663. Receipts in the first nine months were $4,390,177,312. Spending totaled $6,764,353,436.

DISPUTE FLARES | T OVER MERGER OF 21. S. AGENCIES

Jealousy Highlights Division Of Compensation and Job Service.

By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 1.—=Though 25 million workers and half a million employers may not know it, their interests are at stake in the conflict over the Federal Employ-

i {ment Service and the Unemploy-

ment Compensation Bureau. Costly inefficiency inherent in the division of responsibility between two Federal agencies, superimposed on 48 state jurisdictions which, in turn, have conflicting organizations, is vigorously protested by labor. Everyone agrees something must be done. But the battle is over how to do it. Mixed up in the many-sided conflict are labor politics, bureaucratic jealousies, the veterans’ lobby, intrigues of general governmental reorganization, pressure from state officials, and the hostility of many members of Congress to Labor Secretary Perkins. Miss Perkins Objects

These multiple disputes head up now to the bitter question whether Secretary Perkins’ Employment Service should be taken away from the Labor Department, and given to the Social Security Board to coordinate with its Unemployment Compensation Bureau. That is the proposal of the pending Byrnes bill for a new Federal Public Works Department. Naturally Secretary Perkins ob= jects very strongly. She wants to reverse the process and unify the two under the Labor Department. She is supported by the A. F. of I. The C. I. O. is partly on her side and partly on the fence—it obhjects to taking the Employment Service out of the Labor Depart ment but has not supported her desire to take over the Unemployment Compensation. Arrayed against the Perkins plan, and in favor of the Byrnes bill, are active groups in the Senate and House and also in the Interstate Conference of Unemployment Compensation Agencies, representing officials of the 48 states. Nonco-operation Charged Serious charges of nonco-opera-tion are advanced by state officials against the Labor Department's Employment Service. But the director of that service, recently re= signed, has replied that various cooperation plans would violate the Wagner-Peyser Law and Department regulations under which the service must operate. Admittedly, even if no personali= ties were involved, the Topsy-growth of the different laws creating the different agencies is in itself sufficient to create inefficiency. But personalities are involved, and have been from the beginning. Congress acted in part because of the general trend in favor of independent Governmental agencies as theoretically less political than Cabinet departments. Also Congress was moved by fear that organized labor had too much influence in the Labor Department. To these consideration was joined the prejudice against the Secretary of Labor as a woman, Now, five years later, all of those factors are operative in Congress even more potently. Although the House has just killed the Perkins impeachment resolution in connection with the Harry Bridges deportation case, the House also showed its extreme desire to limit Miss Perkins’ authority. It took from her the control of funds for the only major new agency it has ale lowed to go into the Labor Depart ment-—=the Wage-Hour Administration,

It was issued as the rival labor groups prepared to resume peace negotiations in New York Tuesday. The C. 1. O. opposes any change in the Wagner Law.

McMurray, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The new act provides that contracts to school bus drivers be made for four-year periods instead of one year, as provided by 1931 law.
