WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. (UP) Speaker of the House Rainey predicted today that the supreme court, which yesterday upheld the Minnesota moratorium law, would sustain every NRA code “so far enacted.”

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Tim supremq court upheld a Minnesota law late yesterday in a ruling that was immediately interpreted in the capital as auguring well for the w ide variety of emergency legislation enacted under President Roosevelt’s program. The decision upheld the right of a sti^e to suspend contracts in an emergency, stich as was provided by the depression. The law, which the court held valid, extended the time in which mortgage*! property sold under foreclosure might l*e redoemetl. The ruling was handed down a short time after the president had notified congressional leaders that he would send 'messages to congress, probably on Wednesday, outlining his views on the St. Lawrence waterway treaty and proposing a government guarantee of farm credit Inmds. Mr. Roosevelt discussed the farm credit program at the White House Monday with William I. Myers of the farm credit administration. A government cor|H»ration impital i/.ed at $200,000,(8)0 with authority to issue $2,000,000,000 in agricultural refinancing bonds will be proposed. Existing bonds, now guaranteed only as to interest will be recalled. The supreme court’s decision was one of a wiilq variety handed down during a busy day. On either side of the court in the Capitol building Republicans in house and senate were gathering fuel with which to light the fires of dissension in the days ahead. Despite this, however, there was a striking unanimity shown in carrying out the one presidential rennnunendatiun that was :ictod on during Ihc day. The senate, with hut one dissenting vote, approved the uppoint- ! nient of llemy Morgenthau Jr , as | .-.(jorrtary of the treasury Senator { Robinson of Indiana, a Republican, ] said he did not like Morgelltliail lie- , cause the latter had chosen Earl I Bailie, a New York hanker, to handle fiscal affairs f >r the treasury. Hailie

resigned Saturday.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. (UP) Administration recovery plans inelud ing expenditure of $ 1,000,000,000 a month during the next half year are moving on a schedule calculated to return the govemmepit to financial

normalcy in 18 months.

That i> the long view taken here by federal officials 'responsible for tiie vast expenditure and planning now underway. President Roose.veli has

promised in so far as the future may j STATE

be pledged that the United States will live within its income in the fis-

cal year 1935-36.

Mr. Roosevelt proposes for that year an absolutely balanced budget. That would signify the end of emergency recovery expenditures. 'But by no means does it signify abandonniqnt of objectives which cannot possibly he achieved within the 18 months remaining for emergency spending; that period will end June

30, 193’).

All concerned with the administration hesitate—in fact refuso—to make any .predictions about the end of the depression. Mr. Roosevelt and his aides do not intend to say "when.” Tlbey natall Jhow ..funner Uiesidoul Hoover was plagued by sarcastic use of his reference to prosperity being just around that famous corner. But by inference the pledge to get the country out of the depression woods has been made. It was contained in the annual budget message of last week and supplemented a previous statement that the country ■was in the process of recovery. The budget message pledged the administration to a balanced income and outgo in what Mr. Roosevelt describes as “the third year of recovery.” Much will remain to he done in tiiat tthird year and the years to come after it. The president hopes, for instance, that it eventually w ill he possible to find within the government's income appioximutely $f,00 (8)0,000 a year for (planned flood control, power ami irrigation development. Expen* 'liture would l>e on projects such as that now underway in the valley of the Tennessee river. Senator Norris, Rcpn., Neb., has introduced in congress a hill to carry on such a program for the Missouri river. Other great streams await devclnpimnit. Mr. Roosevelt does not apear to have budgeted directly for the Misi-ouri river tint he is asking all additional $1,166,(8)0,18)0 of emergency funds from congress for this fiscal year ami want.-- $2,000,'88),0(H) for the next fiscal twelve month. t'oiigie>s will appropriate the inoiie* despite shivers at the immensity of the i$31334,000 000 national debt which Mr Roosevelt expecta to lie accumulated by June 1935.

JOHNSON \I.LOWS ( MANGE TO PROVIDE FOR RUSH SEASON A T DE I ROTI W ASHINGTON, Jan. 9. Hugh S. Johnson late yeateiday approved modification of the automobile code ‘which will'permit the motor plants to work their employes 40 hours instead of the ordinal 35 hours a week fixed

by their codes.

Johnson justified this increase of working hours, the first action of its kind ever taken on an NRA code, by saying that increased purchases of car next j-pring would, at the present 35 hour schedule rc*ult in bringing to Detroit and other manufacturing centars an excessive number of workers wbo wouid lmve Tf>-be 1aH off immediately after the spring production

iush had ended.

Johnson outlined (lie case in a .-pecial report to President Roosevelt. This paper carried reports from manufacturers showing that in September of last year employment was 150,756, against only 73,411 in September of (he preceding year and 194,274 in September, 1929.
