WASHINGTON. April 25 (AP)
President Roosevelt's inflation
project rose . another ,wave ot
stormy debate in the senate today
with republicans denouncing it as
unconstitutional and an "Inevit

democrats defending it as a "con
servative measure with no wild in

Praises Roosevelt
For Statesmanship
He praised President Roosevelt
tor his "vision, courage and broad
statesmanship" in seeking the
power to stabilise currencies and
asserted.
"This Is a conservative meas
ure. There s no wild inflation in
1L But it will put the money out
into the hands of the people. This
proposal means a better day for
America. It means that thousands
on the verge of bankruptcy can
come back and that thousands of
banks on the verge of closing their
doors can keep open-"
Senator Reed denied he had
conferred with ex-Secretary Mel
lon on the inflation plan.
Constitutionality of
Measure is Denied .
"No Harrison replied, "there's
a triangular arrangement now.
Mr. Mills conferred with Mellon
and then with the senator."
"Mr. Mills wasn't In the east un
til Friday," Reed came back.
"Yes," Harrison retorted, "but
he got here as fast as he could
come. I don't know whether he
used a Diane."
Earlier Reed formally opened
the opposition attack with a dec
laration the Inflation proposal
was unconstitutional and a "ter
rible power" to give the president.

points la the city and were heard
with good volume as tar away as
Corvallls.
The first use ot the station in
giving police information was the
broadcast of a stolen car at f
o'clock. Four hours later the ear.
belonging to Marlon Oarage com
pany, was reoovered.
State police traveling between
