WASHINGTON. March 20 The pro
cess by which President Roosevelt re
gained hla grip on the senate bu
been a guarded
date secret.
The six sena
tors who switch
'. ed their votes to
him on the relief
wage issue are
doing little talk
ing. Some are do
ing none at all.
Others axe pub
licly offering
what are obvi
ously inadequate
explanations.
Cloakroom be
PAUL MALLON
lief at the senate is that Mr. Roosevelt
, parsed around a few hidden slices of
political pie.. This may be partially
true, but a more fundamental reason
was offered confidentially to the de
serted labor lobbyists by a senator
who (-aid:
"We must work with him for at
least two more years. We can't re
pudiate him now."
That ells the story- It implies
that the president has little to fear
from his consress anytime soon. If
he watches his step. Congressmen,
especially democrats and progressives,
realize when they get right up
aaginst the gun, that breaking with
the president Involves responsibilities
they do not care to assume except in
extreme emergencies.
It is true that some of the labor
senators who switched received pri
vate assurances from the White House
that Mr. Roosevelt would use discre
tion In the wage matter. They are
saying that they impressed the presi
dent with the senate strength of labor
and that he will keep this in mind
while administering the act.
For that reason they expect prevail
ing wages to be paid in the twenty
two etatea which have prevailing wage
laws. Also on federal projects.
This may be expecting too much,
but there can be no question about
Mr. Roosevelt's determination not to
permit his relief administration to
affect private waves adversely.
There Is talk in labor circles that
1 one part of tne deal calls for Mr.
Roosevelt to support the Wagner la
: bor disputes bill. The White House
baa dropped a couple of hints lately
implying that it might. Also, Senator
Wagner saw Mr. Roosevelt twice be
fore he switched.
The best authorities deny there was
- a deal, but say Mr. Roosevelt never
theless will champion the Wagner bill
openly or privately, or both. They are
confident he is leaning that way be
cause of the failure of section 7A
(from a union standpoint) and 'he
threat of strikes this summer.
An eneregtic lndorfement from Mr.
Roosevelt Is the only thing that will
i save the Wagner bill.
There has been a gradual change of
attitude toward Hitler in the blghest
administration quarters.
A year ago new dealers veiled their
personal feelings about him with only
a thin tissue of diplomacy which any
one could see through. They called
him a madman, murderer and worse
when no ladies or reporters were pres
ent. Now they are picking their words
more carefully. They dislike him as
much as ever, but they seem to have
' a little higher estimate of hts ability
' They know now that he Is smarter
than they thought.
j This Is one reason why the state
- department did everything possible to
put a quietus on any official reac-
tions to Hitler's army conscription
order. The diplomats kept their
mouths shut and also tried to keep
senators from commenting, although
' that was a difficult lob. Thev did
tnot even like the mild remarks by
Chairman Plttman of the senate for
eign relations committee. They know
an tl -German elements will bring all
kinds of pressure to gain our help in
resisting Hitler. They felt this was
one fight we should stay out of.
What the European experts among
the New Dealers thought offhand
about the move waa that Hitler had
hts eyes fixed on the east rather than
on the west. Moh.ow was more fricht
ened than London or Pans. The Reds
hare data to prove that Hitler is
planning a colonization expansion at
thetr expanse.

Snow Plows Busy On
Siskiyous, Greensprings
The old rascal, winter, believed by
most Medford residents to have long
since departed from these climes,
raged back Into the valley this morn
ing, leaving a white covering of snow
to commemorate the last day of his
official reign.
Although only about two-tenths of
an inch of snow, which melted rap
idly, was recorded in the city proper,
many higher points of the valley re
ported greater depths, and the fall In
the mountains, and mountain high

At the summit of the Siskiyou
highway, three inches had fallen be-;
fore 10 o'clock this morning, and it
was still snowing. With snow still !
falling at the two points, Butte Falls'
and Star ranger station reported
depths of 7 and 6 inches respectively
this morning.
It i ih (Is Slippery
According to the AAA. there was a
3-lnch fall between this city and
Trail this morning. There was also
some snow on the Sexton mountain
pass north of Grants Pass, with some
fog today. All paved roads out of
Medford were reported as slippery.
Snow plows are working on the
Siskiyou and Qreenspring highways
today, and the CCC camps near
Union Creek and Prospect were this
morning forced to plow their way
out from under 8 Inches of new
snow. The total amount of snow at

SALEM, March 20. (') The 1935
legislative business ended at midnight
last night when Governor Martin put
down his pen with which n had
dashed the Joys of sponsors of 25 btg
bills to gladden the hearts of those
who opposed the same Issues. The
governor set a recent record in the
number of vetoes.
Added to the veto record, he gov
ernor also filed a large number with
the secretary of atate without his
signature, & total of 39. which auto
matically become laws. Thus, in
more ways than one did the 38th
assembly establish novel precedents.
The staff of the executive office
worked until the constitutional dead
line to dispose of the hundred bills
which faced the governor yesterday
morning, and during the day and
night bills vetoed, signed or filed
were the order of business.
Signed But 418.
And at the conclusion it was re
vealed that of the 474 bills passid
by the legislature, he had signed but
418. One of his vetoes during the
session was turned down by the legis

Portland Offered
Snakes as Remedy
For Rat Nuisance
PORTLAND, Ore.. March 20.

today to become Portland's pied
piper and eliminate the rats that
have been rattling tin rana on
the city's garbage dump to the
annoyance of transients who can
not sleep at nights In nearby
shacks.
Cunningham's solution la snakes.
For 93500 he can bring 1000
blacksnakes from southwestern
United 8tates. The blaokanakes
will eat the rodents and the fleas
that live on the rats. Both rata
and fleas are health menaces, it
is contended.
When the blacksnakes have
cleaned up the garbage dump
they would travel to other arena
of the city In search of more
rats, Cunningham said.
The city council heard the of
fer dubiously, wondering if the
snakes might not cause as much

TRIPARTITE TALK
German Officials Are Sur

to Take Question of Re

(By the AsMirtitted lres)
German officials expressed surprise
tonight that Prance proposes to take
the question of Germany's rearma
ment before the League of Nations,
and ono high government official de
clared: "It will be so easy to answer
any arguments against Germany's
step."
Great Britain, Franco and Italy
agreed today on a Joint conference
preliminary to the forthcoming visit
of Sir John Simon. British foreign
secretary, and Captnln Anthony Eden,
British lord privy seal, to Berlin to
talk with Rcichfuehrer Hitler.
The decision to hold the trl-parttte
conference came as France dispatched
a note of protest to Berlin ugatnst
Germany's rearmament.
The French cabinet decided to ask
the League of Nations council to In
vestigate German's violation of the
military clauses of the Versailles
treaty. .
The United States was officially In
formed that the British c n versa t Ions
with Hitler would be of a "purely
exploratory" nature, through a con
ference between Sir John and Ral
Atherton, charge d'affaires or the
United States embasay In London.
Premier Flandln of France warned
his nation that It must be "vigilant"
as a result of Germany's rearma
ment. At Geneva French quarters said
they expected the league council
would hold a special session . to In
vestigate the French charitea.

the house today as It plugged along

they already were tiring of .the

Yesterday, when the talking start

Leaders remained hopeful of a final

Byrns aatd that It might be post
poned until Tuesday.
Andrew's plan was this: World war
veterans were allowed II ft day for
domestic and 9L35 ft day for over
seas service during the war. To that
was added 4 per cent Interest annual
ly for 20 years, the total being pay
able in 1945.
Instead of paying the full amount
now, Andrew said the veterana should
be allowed only theh- original tl or

years from the Armistice day In
