' WASHINGTON. Jan. lSHJPh
Comptroller-General McCari call
ed the Rooserelt housinr plan un
constitutional today and . thereby
brought himself squarely athwart
several phases of the chief execu
tive's emergency program.
This development came as the
Roosevelt monetary program,
hearing all evidences of being the
principal dish for the congres
sional feast, was going through
the preliminary processes of
steaming and basting.
Financier and priest, Frank A.
Vanderlip and the Rev. Charles
E. Coughlin, went before a house
committee to say the Roosevelt
"plan was1 good. Vanderlip sug
gested a federal agency to take
over all currency issued.
"It's .Roosevelt or ruin." said
the priest.
Secretary Morgenthau put be
fore a senate committee the offi
cial explanation of the plan to
slice some gold out of the dollar
as a preliminary step to the set
ting up of a special corporation
to deal In government securities
and foreign exchange. The re
construction corporation disclosed
It had gone out of the foreign
-gold buying business.
Democratic leaders were ready
to shout a ready "aye" to the
president's appeal, but republi
cans, after a conference, decid
, ed to hang back and ask for
full hearings.-Even they agreed,
however, that there was little
likelihood that the measure would
not go through.
i Meantime, the republicans were
sharpening their axe for a swing
at the economy xnearare DonHa up
in the Independent bftices ' bill.
Increased veterans expenditures
will be the wedge they will seek

annual recital of the virtues of
prohibition. He Bald it would "in-

made during preparations for tak-
ins pp a bill to regulate tbe sale

- The bouse was striding at a
rapid pace toward passage of the
bill to guarantee principal as well
; as interest on farm loan bonds.
The opinion ot McCari was
given In ruling that the housing

her eye on three points: The Bel

Such authorization from Wash

Specifications were to have been

permit a large saving brought a
change in construction plans.
"It has been found feasible
and desirable to construct a single
lift lock at Bonneville Instead of
the two tandem locks formerly
contemplated." Major Williams
said. "The single lock is of moro
simple construction, and its in

than the tandem locks, and will
