Important Step
(Copyright 1933, by Associated

NEW YORK, Feb. 11. (AP)
The question of recognition of
Russia by the United States is
being discussed with renewed vig
or by numerous leaders, with In
dications the matter may be urged
upon President Roosevelt, for de
cision early In his administration.
DeWitt Clinton Poole, former
consul general and charge d'af
faires In Moscow, who later in
the state department played an
important part in shaping the
present policy of non-recognition.
said tonight he now had reached
the opinion "the time for a change
in our Russian policy has come."
"As a matter of practical poli
tics," he continued, "I am sure
something is going to be done In
this direction within a short
time."
At a meeting of the Foreign
Policy association in Boston Feb
ruary 18 he will call for a re-ex
Lamination of this country's atti
tude toward the soviet govern
ment.
Borah Will Seize
Every Opportunity
In Washington. Senator Borah
(R., Idaho) said he would seise
every chance that came his way
to bring about the recognition of
Russia.
Although the question of re-
establishment of diplomatic rela
tions with Russia is an executive
responsibility, Borah has reason
to believe the president-elect Is at
least Interested in the subject, and
he said he would await any move
from that direction before making
up his mind what he would do in
the next congress.
Senator Norris (R., Neb.) said
e did not know what attitude the
democratic administration would
take on recognition. "But I am
for recognition," he said, "I think
It should be done and done soon."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (AP)
A proposal to throw army

from Senator Robinson, democrat

gress must soon enact further
legislation to relieve the destitute.
Legislation to nse army facili
ties for taking care of vagrant
boys was demanded by the wealthy
Michigan republican Coutens, who
estimated that S00.O0O of them In
terrific distress" were wandering
from city to city in search of work.
His proposal was termed a

who said It would "invite unem
ployment" and teach the nation's
boys to rely on the government
for support. He also contended it
wonld mean the "total demraliza
tln of discipline" at army posts.

Hoover Veto Also is Ahead
In Move to Give Broad
Powers to F.D.R.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11
(AP) Democratic leaders are so
determined to give Franklin D.
Roosevelt drastic power to econ
omize, that party members who
stand in the way may incur severe
discipline.
This was made apparent today
with disclosure that a record vote
will be forced. If possible, at this
session of the plan to give the
president-elect wide authority to
reorganize the government estab
lishment. There were plain indica
tions that those democrats who
vote against It may lose their pa
tronage, and possible also their
committee standings or chairman
ships If they hold any.
The intent, however, was not
accompanied by any assurance
that the present conjrress would
give the next president all tne
power that Is wanted. Senate
leaders felt it had no chance and
Speaker Garner expressed himself
as doubtful on the point, but
hopeful that a compromise would
be reached giving the new execu
tive more power than is proposed
in the pending economy legisla
tion. This Is attached to tne
treasury-postoffice bill, now pass
ed by both branches and due to
be taken up In conference today.
The republican opposition to
glting the democratic president
powers which they call dictatorial
has been aided by several demo
crats not willing to go so far, and
further has had the tacit support
of President Hoover, so that even
If congress approved, a veto

'T
Houses Rush in Past Week
But Only one of Major
Issues is Decided
Ways and Means Report to
Come Soon, Taxation
Matters Follow
By SHELDON F. SACKETT
Next Friday, February IT,
marks the end of the 40-day per
iod of the 37th session of the
legislature and while legislators
mast work gratis from that day
until adjournment, there Is small
likelihood that the session will
close until the week ending Feb
ruary $5. so many major bills
are yet to be decided up that
the session may hang over until
the beginning of March.
The past week sav a real spurt
in legislative- activity: commit
tee reports began to flow into
both houses, scores of minor bills
were passed by the bouse and
even the oratorical, slow-moving
senate began to show signs of
accomplishment.
Little Accomplished
fpon Major Issues
Thus far, however, only one
major Item on the lesrisrative
agenda has been completed: the
matter of unemployment relief
and that has been finished only
as far as the setting np of a
statewide organization and the
appropriation of $15,000 for ad
ministration can be termed a
settlement. There is small rhange
of any other direct relief meas
ure passing: the legislature
thinks Uncle Samuel with his
big R. F. C. purse will nnt nn
the real cash money needed for
tens of thousands of needy peo
ple In the state. leaTing the state
to worry along with such prob
lems as an unbalanced budget,
shrinking taxes and the demand
for lowered goernmental costs.
After nightly sessions for more
than a month the Joint commit
tee on ways and means Is about
ready to report. The voice of
this committee is usually final.
The Meier-Hanzen budget called
for $9,339,000 for state costs in
1933-1934. All the hatchet using
of the committee and its determ
ination to cut the budget farther
-ill not accomplish a cut much
beyond $300,000. This reduc
tion will come from an additional
$250,000 taken from higher edu
cation and the rest through minor
adjustments In various denart.
ment items. The 5 to 30 per cent
salary slash decided upon is lit
tle at variance in net results
with the original cut proposed
by Hansen. Some of the opera
tions eliminated by Hanzen have
been restored with a tidbit ap
propriation such as that granted
the state fair, the Battleship Ore
gon, the health board and sun
dry state activities.
Taxation Problems
Will Follow Budget
Taxation problems will follow
quickly upon the ways and
means committee's report for rev
enue measures have been held
back by committees awaiting the
word of the legislative members
on the audited, censored and lowest-possible
state needs for 1933
1934. Once these are known
they will be about the sum men
tioned by Governor Meier when
he called the special session
the taxation measures will start
pouring out for final considera
tion. The legislature seems certain
to give its aproval to branch
banking in Oregon. The senate's
vote was decisive and the amend
ed bill which goes to the house
has a quite solid support from
Independent and chain bank lead
ers. Peter Zimmerman, who hails
from old Yamhill county. Is de
termined the stale should take a
fling in the banking business, by
setting up a bank to handle all
governmental deposits but the
best reports are that the Zimmer
man bill is destined for death in
committee. The amendments in
the present banking code, propos
ed by A. A. Schramm, state
banklnr superintendent. went
through the senate allying and
house approval is assured.
The comma, period and para
graph debate by the senate on the
seven-point Thomas ntlllty bill
and the unanimous vote for the
amended bill Indicate the house
will accept the measure without
much ado. The bill, while slight
ly altered from the original Tho
mas proposal, tones it down but
little. The regulation program
agreed to by the legislature will
be drastic enough and not of suf
ficient variance from the original
bill to permit Thomas to make a
campaign issue of utility regula
tion in 1934.
Prohibition Remains
