OAKLIA ’S - For Lower Food 1‘rices

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19—<UP> Congressional leaders said today that only an unexpected eleventh hour snarl in their legislative plans can prevent a sine die adjournment on Saturday night. Their optimistic forecast came in the face of surprising opposition In the Senate to hasty enactment >! the administration's bill to thwart ' tax avoidance and as conferees on j the sugar quota bill failed to reach | an agreement after a two-hour session. The sugar conference will be resumed tomorrow. Senate Majority Leader Alben W Barkley. Democrat, Kentucky, refused to be discouraged because Senator Lewis B. Schwellenbach. Democrat, Washington, blocked action on the tax measure today. He confidently predicted that it would pass tomorrow. This would leave the Senate with only the third deficiency bill on its legislative calendar. "It looks good for adjournment or Saturday,’’ Barkley" told newspapei men. The same sentiment was echoed by Speaker William B. Bankhead Democrat, Alabama, who ordered th ■ House kept in session tonight unti 1 it passes the revised Wagner-Stea-gall housing bill. Passage of ^hir measure leaves the House with nothing to do except dispose of minor billr and take up conference reports when they are ready. Three and possibly four of thest conference reports will have to bt approved before adjournment. The> will concern the tax bill which the Senate probably will pass in >- slightly different form than that ap proved by the House, the housing bill; the third deficiency bill and thi sugar quota measure. One threat to adjournment was removed to a parliamentary maneu ver in the Senate to sidetrack fina' action at this session on me MoCarran bill to transfer administration of the air mail from the Postoffice Department to the Interstate Commerce Commission.

A perspiring shirt-sleeved crowd cheered lustily as the chief executive

condemned the tactics of a "selfish minority.” "Since the determination of this minority is to substitute their will fe|' that of the majority,” demanded Mr. Roosevelt, “would it not be more honest for them, instead of using the Constitution as a cloak to hide their real designs, to come out frankly and say: ‘We agree with Macaulay that the American fonn of government will lead to disaster, and therefore we seek a change in the American form of government as laid down by the founding fathers’? After being introduced by Governor Clyde R. Hoey of North Carolina is “the colossal figure of the century and the greatest humanitarian of our times.” the President rose to review the dramatic events that transpired on this sandy island back in 1587, when the first white child was born and a whole colony mysteriously disappeared. Then he swung suddenly Into an indictment of his political foes. He charged: “Although they mouth phrases about the sanctity of the Constitution and intone the praises of liberty, they seek to substitute their own will for that of the majority, for they would serve theii own interest above the general welfare. They reject the principle of the greater good for the greater number, which is the cornerstone of democratic government. “f seek no change in the form of American government,” Mr. Roosevelt continued in measured tones. •Majority rule must be preserved as the safeguard of both liberty and civilization.” The setting of the President’s speech was colorful. Surrounding th' 1 grandstand were thatch-roofed cabins reconstructing the picture of the famous lost colony led here by John White, Virginia Dare’s grand-

father.

On the platform behind the Presiient were Post master General Farley and a special committee of members of Congress.

The mayor was reported to have olaintively said, "I’m the victim ol his affair.” Newspapers were order1 to keep the incident from their oages. Paris Soir, nevertheless, car ried a short story. The foreign office reportedly wai *o disturbed that it had consideret ienying the incident occurred. Frenct iiplomats. it was learned, decided th* best course* would be to ignore it, en tirely, meanwhile suppressing any news of it.

He was greatly loved by this branch of the family and no more loyal, sincere and name of LaFollette. Mrs. Belles in a brief talk paid tribute to the de-

Young Democrats Of Nation Convene

\n ESTIMATED CROWD OF 10,000 CONVERGE ON INDIANAPOLIS; ALL STATES PRESENT

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Aug. 19.— UP*—An estimated 10.000 young Democrats of America converged on Indianapolis from virtually every state today for the opening of their national convention. Frank Wickhem of Sioux Falls, S. D.. national president, promptly ridiculed rumors that Democratic dissension in congress over the Roosevelt legislative program and the Supreme court reform issue would have repercussions here. The resolutions committee, Wickham announced, will recommend no controversial measures for adoptio:: and probably will ask the convention to endorse the entire Roosevelt administration and its aims. Harmony, he indicated would be the convention keynote. The speaking program presented evidence of close friendship with the national administration. James Roosevelt, eldest son of the president, will sound the keynote of ’he convention in a speech Friday morning. He is a member of th3 Young Democrats Executive Committee. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of th* president, will speak for 15 minutes tomorrow noon and then appear at a reception in her honor. Postmaster-General James A. Farley will deliver the main address to morrow night and secretary of Agriculture. Henry A. Wallace will speak to the delegates Saturday morning. Any political maneuvering appeared to be confined to election of their own officers and ^election of the 1939 convention city.

LISBON, Aug. 19.—(UP)—Portugal, aligned with Nazi Germany in the Spanish civil war crisis, severed relations with Czechoslovakia today in a diplomatic move that was ex- [ oected to have startling reprecusdons all over Europe.
