WASHINGTON, D. C, April 18 The
alphabet aoup ta going to be recooked,
boiled down.
During the next alx months or a
year you will ee all the government
emergency agencies (NRA, AAA, PWA,
et al.) melted down Into permanent
government aet-ups, differing In tone
and even In personnel from tne exisf
Ing emergency organizations.
At least, the long-range thinkers for
the White House already are working
on the broad outlines of auch a new
theme song. The NRA reorganization
probably will come first.
Sole exception Is the relief outfit
(CRA). No one has an Idea what the
demand for relief will be. Hence, no
long-range formula for It la being
considered at present.
This Is to be the second phase ot
the new deal, the permanent reform
phase to replace the passing emer
gency phase.
In general, it will represent a mod
eration of the original strong doses,
elimination of duplication and con
flict among the various agencies, a
weeding out of misfits, a settling
down of government policy to a long'
range basis.
The term "radical" or "conserva
tive" Is not used by those who are
thinking the thing out. They profess
to want to keep away from eitner ex
treme. Instead, they want to make
a practical solution based on the ex
perience gained from the emergency
rjroeram.
They have in mind that most of
the rest of the world has reorganized
Its governmental methods since the
war. In Italy, it was Mussolini: In
Russia, the Soviets; In Germany, Hit
ler. Prance la now starting out on a
similar path, although no one can
see yet what way her organization is
going to go. England'a was worked
out rather mildly through the laborlte
and national governments. .,
You will gathor from talkli.; to the
planners that ours is to be the demo
cratic eoulvalent of tha reorganiza
tions In the rest of the prominent
nations of the world.
. ,4ml that ttl hllJttilV
concocted alphabet soup waa not
, strictly along democratic lines, that
It wna highly seasoned with coercion
as a temporary necessity. It is their
Idea that the second phase will be
better rootca in principle w
Another thing they have found Is
that good soup cannot do coohcu
fast as this one was. Too many sour
onions get in.
Thousands of employes were se
. . ao hA1ira pnmlderatlon.
When one of the relief organizations
waa set up It waa Impossible to choose
the best available men. or even to

picked. The need for haste Is now
pasBlng. . ...
That consideration seems to fur

The bigwigs of the Industry say
frankly. In private, that they will
produce only enoiig'i to satisfy tne
market, that they are not going to

In that case (which is representa
tive). It Is Impossible to estimate
how far production will decline.
Industrial recessions will be met. In
part, by acceleration of the home
building. PWA and private building
programs, but no sensible person will
try to guess how much.
There are good reasons for believ

be less than seasonal, but that Is as
much predicting as can be done now.

RUSH TO REGISTER
SEEN ON LAST DAY
Registration for the county pri
mary closed yesterday with a final
rush of voters between 4 and 5 o'clock.
Included in the list were a number
of teachers In the city schools.
The county clerk's office estimates
that between 400 and 000 citizens
registered the final day, a large num
ber being change of precincts.
The registering period saw a num
ber of voters switch from Repub
lican to Democrat, and vice versa.
Outstanding in this category was
P. O. Bigham of this city, who went
Democratic. Early in the registering
George Cars tens registered Republican
after 80 yesrs of battling for Dem
ocracy. All the Democrats in this city and
rural precincts who registered Re
publican to participate In the Re
publican primary have swung back
to their first political love, it Is now
estimated.
Aproxlmately BOO registration cards
were cancelled by former residents
who have since moved to neighbor
ing counties. Josephine county leads
this list with Douglas second and
Coos and Curry counties well repre
sented. A number of registrants also
have stnee returned to California,
Oklahoma, Colorado, Arkansas and
Texas. There was an Influx of new
voters In the spring and fall of 1933.
County Clerk Carter estimates the
registration will total between 13,
S00 and 14,000 the normal Jackson
county registration. In 1033 It reach
ed the all-time high record of 10,
139. Solicitors were then loose reg

Campaign to Rebuild Repub

Lines Follows Blast
Against the New Deal
NEW YORK, April 18. (AP) A
(.mupttifc11 la icuuiiq but? xvcpuuiivtiu
party along liberal lines was launch- j
ed today after an attack on the poll- j
cles of President Roosevelt by his j
cousin, Col. Theodore Roosevelt.
"The so-called new deal is not lib- I
eral and is not new," said Colonel j
Roosevelt. ". . . It Is reactionary
and un-American."
A leader of the younger and po
litically more active element of Re
publicanism, Colonel Roosevelt Issued
his denunciation last night at his
Installation as the new president of
the National Republican club.
Davison to Aid
With him were Installed other
young Republican leaders among
them P. Trubee Davison, former as
sistant secretary of war, as second
vice-president.
Backed by the older element of the
club, the new leadership plotted a
course of conferences and membership
drives to make the club & center of
Republicanism and a major factor
In national politics.
"Together," said Colonel Roosevelt,
"we will strive to make the National
Republican club an active factor In
these critical days when the future
of the nation Is being determined."

Messages of congratulations or sup
port came from United States Sena

fornia, Prank Knox, publisher of the

The keynote of the campaign was
sounded by Colonel Rosevelt, who
said: "If the so-called new deal pre
vails, the hard-fought gains for liber
alism and individual liberty are lost."
The new deal, he said, "Is not lib
eral because It is confessedly an at
tempt to reduce the American people
to a 'regimented' group, submissive
to the dictates of a small group or
a single Individual at the head of a
vast bureaucracy," t
Ho said It is not American because
"it predicates for the future an auto

'WASHINGTON. April 18. (AP)
Karl A. Crowley, solicitor of the post-
office department today character.
ized airmail suits against Postmaster
General Farley as "a weak effort to
evade the law which says that the
United States government cannot be
sued without its consent."
Four aviation companies whose air
mail contracts were cancelled today
asked the District of Columbia su
preme court to enjoin James A. Far
ley from enforcing the cancellation
order and to award them damages
The exact amount of the damages
sought was not specified. Attorneys
said the companies had not yet been
able to calculate their losses. The
companies were Boeing Air Transport
Inc.; National Air Transport, Inc.;
Pacific Air Transport and Varney
Airlines.
20 Davs To Show Cause
The court gave Farley 30 day to
show causo why the Injunction
should not be granted.
Crowley pointed out that Trans
continental Se Western Air'a efforts
to obtain a similar Injunction failed
In New York federal court because It
was directed 'against the government.
The fedoral government cannot be
sued without Its own consent.
"This la a suit against the Unltod

dicating he felt basically the. suit waa
little different from that disposed of
In New York.

TO TOTAL $67,855
Six applications to the State
Emergency Relief administration for
completion of projects underway here
were approved by the city council
in regular meeting last night, with
the understanding that the city would
finance transportation of labor and
workmen's compensation Insurance on
five of them and Jackson county on
the sixth. The projects total ap
proximately $67,858. The greatest sum
is asked for Bear creek improvement
and flood control program, estimated
at 820,000.
The remainder of the sum asked of
the relief administration Is divided as
follows In applications forwarded from
here to Portland: Roxy Ann park

provement, 818,600; straightening of
East Main street, 81,189; municipal
planning survey, 86,000, and installa
tion of street signs In Medford. $1,200.
The airport application ordinance
waa passed, but followed by a motion
demanding that the contract with the
State Relief administration be held m
abeyance until finance and airport
committees can work out a program for
financing tha transportation and In
surance on the Job. It was estimated
the two would cost approximately
$850, which sum would undoubtedly
be returned to Medford In taxes, It
was stated by council men, if the
project la approved and the money

The ordinance granting the city tho
