Hot
Question Why. One Broke
Down Last Summer L
; One Issue Raised
Water . Main Material Is
Purchased With Much
Less of Oratory
Red-painted fire wagons "set
Salem's city couhcilmen aglow
with debate and maneuvering last
night that overshadowed more
costly pieces of spending.
It was almost the story reborn
Kof the last fire track purchases,
"made six years ago. as the fire
committee proved unable to make
a, unanimous recommendation as
to make of equipment and report
ed pre-meeting agreements ef
fected by salesmen disappeared
under the cloak of a secret ballot.
- After disputing over guaran
tee values, "standard names and
why the city's pumper broke
down en route to the Bandon con
flagration last fall, the aldermen
' finally managed by the secret bal
lot means to pick a Seagrave ma
chine costing $7481.25 net In
preference to a $7600 Mack of
longer guarantee.
Aldermen W. H. Dancy and
Frank Marshall of the fire com
mittee got what they wanted.
Chairman Merrill D. Ohling lost
out on his choice, a LaFrance,
and the Maek salesman was won
dering where his votes went."
Slack Wins Oat in
Previous Battle
Six years ago Seagraves and
LaFrance supporters clashed and
a Mack pumper was bought.
Fire Chief Harry Hutton found
occasion to slap back at the fire
committee when Alderman Fred
A. Williams wanted to know why
the pumper sent to Bandon blew
a gasket at Harrisburg when a
cylinder stuck.
' "That truck had Just been
overhauled locally," Mutton ans
wered. "That was the fire com
mittee's Idea. But a fire truek is
different from an. ordinary auto
mobile and I think we ought to
have experts come down here to
. look after them the way we used
to."

Plan Dead, View
WASHINGTON, April 19-UPy-Senator
McNary of Oregon, the
minority leader, asserted today
that the President's program for
a sweeping reorganization of ex

dead."
Although majority Leader Rob

statement, he conceded there was
"no Immediate prospect" for leg
islation to carry out the admin
istration's scheme of revamping
and consolidating more than 100

He acknowledged that thejclnt

He declared he had been "too

The president outlined his plan

would set up two new depart
ments, welfare and public works;
extend the civil service to all but

Attorney General Cummings said
tonight that unless the Roosevelt
court proposal Is enacted the so
cial laws recently upheld by the
supreme court "may be whittled
away bit by bit In their applica

an empty victory."
Speaking under the auspices of

which held meetings supporting
the bill in 24 cities and towns,
he pointed to the narrow margin
by which the Wagner act was
held constitutional and asserted:
"The bench still lacks a suffi
cient, number of Judges whose
self restraint is predictable,
judges who are willing to see the
facts as they are and to decide
under the constitution and not
over It. American constitutional
history is Illuminated by occa
sional flashes such as we have
witnessed in the last few weeks,
but that same history is often
darkened. We find ourselves in a
moment of light. Our problem Is
to keep that light burning."

WASHINGTON, April 12-tflV-Senator
Robinson, the democrat l
leader, said after a White House
conference tonight that President
Roosevelt would ask congreea for
21,500.000.000 for relief In the
year beginning next July 1.
President Roosevelt finished
drafting his message tonight and
will transmit it to congress to
morrow, it waS learned. Robisson
added that the conference tonight
agreed to bend every effort to
limit-expenditures and approrri"
tions to close the gap btwea In
come and outgo.
He Indicated that disappoint
ing tax receipts had accentuated
the estimated deficit. Signs point
ed to an unbalanced budget at the
end of the 1937-38 fiscal year, he
indicated, but expressed ' belief
that means could be found, with
out increasing taxes, to bring the
c's fteit down to a "very narrow,
margin. -Would

An outlay of 1.500,00t.0
next year would compare, accord
ing to WPA officials, with x
penditures ot between 21. ISO,

the current fiscal year. - -
The proposed appropriation
would be about the same amount
that the president suggested Aen
tatirely in his budget message
last January. He said then, that
next year's budget could be feat
anced, exclusive ot debt retire
ment. If relief - expenditures' -d4
not exceed 21.537.000,000.
:However, since that time tee
disappointing tax receipts have
come in, complicating the plexare.
Mayors and State '
Leaders Ask More
The sum to be rea nested will
be far less than that sought bl
the United States conference X
mayors, and many state officials.
They have urged the president tdj
recommend - more than 2,t2t0,
000.000.
Immediately after tonlaiU's
conference, speculation flared in)
the capital as to whether some
senate democrats might campaign
for an appropriation less than the
president suggests.
Senator Byrnes (D-SC) recently
undertook a personal survey ci
state finances to determine it
they were meeting a fair share
ot the relief burden. Senator Koh

reported recently that there is a
possibility new government activ
