SECURITY BILL
PASSES HOUSE
BY BIG MARGIN
Only 33 Oppose Upon Final
Vote After Long Fight
Over Amendments
Mott Chides Demo Machine
But Supports Bill as
"All We Will Have"
- By CLARENCE M. WRIGHT
WASHINGTON. April I9.iP)
The social security bill, designed
eventually to levy upward of $2,
783,200.000 in new taxes and in
return give financial aid to the
aged, jobless, children and moth
ers, was rammed through the
house today by the over-powering
democratic majority.
The final roll call 372 for and
only 33 against-ended two days
less than three months of rough
and tumble dispute. Indications
were that more word-battering
was in store for the measure in
the senate.
As approved by the house, the
bill embodied everything outlined
in the president's message Janu
ary IT. At that time he suggested
the "establishment of .sound
means toward a greater future
ceonomic security of the Ameri
can people".
Its passage was accompanied by
laughter at the email number of
'opponents and a scattering ap
plause. Many republicans, who
had sought to strip the bill of
its new taxes, were forced to
prevent "political suicide," they
said privately--to vote for the
whole measure.
Increase in Pension
Amount Is Defeated
The" republicans, on one of their
, many motions, mustered 146 votes
which some democratic aid in an
'effort to increase from $15 to $20

contribution for a needy old-age
pension. Their motion also in
cluded the proposed elimination
of the sections levying payroll and

RECALL OF EKWALL
IT
William A, Ekwall, representa
tive in congress from the third
congressional district (Multno
mah county) is not subject to re
call by the legal voters of Oregon
or of the electoral district from
which he was chosen, Attorney
General Van Winkle held in an
opinion handed down Friday.
The opinion was requested by
Earl Snell, secretary of state, af
ter he had received a letter from
H. H. Stallard of Portland, ask
ing for information relative to the
procedure necessary In launching
the proposed recall proceeding.
Van Winkle held that from the
language of the state constitution
the recall provision applies only
to public officers of the state and
not to an offfceMcting under au
thority of the United States.
Quoting from an opinion of
Justice Henry J.. Bean of the state
supreme court in the case of Schu
bel against Olcott, the opinion
read:
"It was understood by the peo
ple In adopting this constitutional
provision that it was not applica
ble to United States senators and
representatives in congress from
this state.
. The move to recall Ekwall was
said to have been based on his al
'leged unfavorable attitude toward
the Townsend old age pension
proposal Bince his arrival in
Washington.

hunted public enemy No. 1, with
the $200,000 Edward G. Bremer
kidnaping for which ten others,
among them Arthur "Doc" Bar

Should disaster flood, fire or

the United States, A. L. Schajer,
manager of the Red Cross Pacific

night.
'If you had a disastrous fire
Lionight, we would not wait to
raise money; we would start re

Active Red Cross chapters in
more than one-half the counties
in the United States are similar

have emergency clothing and me

organized to enlist medical, nurs

stands the national Red Cross,

the need may arise. They may call
on any and all departments of

E.B.P. STARTS
PLANNING FO
1936 CONTEST
Working Force Which Will
Equal That of Demos,
Fletcher's Plea
Bourbon Mistakes Will be
Helpful But Must be
Emphasized, Held
WASHINGTON, April 29.--A
broad plan for early expansion
of the republican national commit
tee's activities in preparation for
the 1936 presidential campaign
was tentatively drafted today at
party headquarters.
The new scheme conceived by
Henry P. Fletcher, chairman, calls
for raising funds to permit the
creation of a working force com
parable to the democratic national
committee's. Its purpose is to
create a nucleus organization of
a permanent nature to direct the
activities of volunteer workers in
campaigns.
"Some feel that all the republi
cans have to do is to sit by and
let the democrats defeat them
selves next year by their own mis
takes," the tentative draft said.
"That the Roosevelt administra
tion and the democratic congress
have made serious mistakes which
have injured every section of the
United States and carry a threat
to our economic system and our
political institut'ons is clear.
"But that this will result in a
republican victory In 1936 is by
no means clear. The republican
party will profit by these mis
takes only in so far as it is able
to take political advantage of
them."
The plan proposes the establish
ment of publicity and speakers
bureaus, expansion of the statis
tical division, reorganization of
the women's division, the organ
ization of a young republicans di
vision, the opening of sub-headquarters
in Chicago with a mem
ber of the national committee in
charge, the employment of field
workers, and of -.n executive as
sistant to the chairman.
