jf WASHINGTON. March 23. A per

exist between Postmaster General
Parley and the
b o a a, whereby
Sunny Jim will
relinquish t h a
postmaster gen
eralship to han
dle the Roosevelt
campaign tor re
election next
year.
The agreement
la supposed to
have been made
casually and un
officially months
PAUL MALLON
- ago. No tlrrve was sel lor me cnange.
It certntnly will not be made at any
time when Farley la under fire, even
such pop-gun lire as Huey Long has
been offering In the aenate. That
much la certain.
In fact, for the aake of appearances.
It may be necessary for both Farley
and the White House to deny any
auch move Is contemplated. After
Long adjourns for the summer, they
may come out with H.
The general assumption In Mr. Far
ley's inner circle la that he will not
Jump until fall at the earliest and
, next spring at the latest.
This explains why President Roose
Telt has delayed so long in applying
hla pollMcal-offlclal aegrcgatlon rule
to his political manager. You may
recall that, months ago, he ordered
all holders of party Jobs and official
government positions to sever one
connection or the other. Amid si
lence at the White House and the
postoffice, Farley has continued both
Jobs.
A ft. Vtarlnv thmlrht he WOtlld
relinquish the national chairmanship
and remain In the cabinet. His pals
ay he lilted the official life. Later
he discovered the postoffice was dull.
It operates In a routine way. He
could live In the FIJI islands and It
would make little or no difference In
the functioning of the malls.
Also, whatever patronage changes
he could effect from his official po
sition already have been affected.
He cannot even give a stamp to a
friend now.
Apparently this would prevent Far
' ley from realizing any secret ambl
'tlons he may have had to run tor gov
ernor of New York in '36. He cannot
run for governor and conduct the
presidential campaign at the same
time. It l generally understood Mr.
Roosevelt does not want to ruin Far
ley's governorship chances. But there
la noone else to run the presidential
campaign.
The old talk about Commerce
Secretary Roper being switched to the
postmaster generalship Is being re
vived. No one else la being mention
ed at least not where anyone can
hear It yet. Who will get Roper's Job
also seems to be undecided.
A new place to hold private confer
ences has been discovered by Mr. Far
ley and RFC Chairman Jesse Jones.
It Is the lad place you would think
of In a closed automobile at the
curb on busy Pennsylvania avenue,
outside Jones' office. No place could
be more public and at the same time
more private. No one could listen in.
The choice ot such an unusual spot
by the two eminent New Dealers one
morning this week has spurred con
siderable speculation as to what they
were conferring about.
Until Jones tells. you will never

Mr. Morcenthau s new silver buying
program means nothing new except
that he has at last been able to find
two nallona to cooperate In a trade
balancing UUa he has had for months.
He buys their silver and pays them
In sold theoretically, but not actually.
Thev keep the gold on deposit here
and' use It'to pay for goods bought
from us. It Is merely a device lor
equalizing their unfavorable trade
balances by selling sliver to us for
goods.
It would be highly important If the
amount involved were not so small.
(The Mexican deal aiiioulited to
$1. 120.000 and Guatemala to ,35.000.)
Also It would be Imprewlvely signifi

larger nations. However, those which
hase the unfavorable trade balances
do not have the -liver and vice versa.
No other negotiations are pending.

SENATE APPROVES
RELIEF AC! WITH
RIDER
Democratic Leaders Swing
'Big Stick' Filibuster
Thwarted Largest Ap
propriation in History
Wins, 65 to 18.
WASHINGTON, March 23. AP)
A senate torn and weary from eight
weeks of tussling with the largest
single legislative appropriation In
world history, today capitulated to
big stock pressure from democratic
leaders and passed the administra
tion 14.880,000,000 relief bill.
The measure, carrying a mild sil
ver Inflation rider, was speeded to a
conference with the house for a set
tlement of differences by the decisive
margin of 68 to 16.
The $375,000,000 silver rider, ad
vanced by Senator Thomas (D.. I
Okla.), was accepted only aa a par
liamentary move to prevent a fili
buster. Leaders expect It to he strick
en out in the senate-house confer
ence. Decisively, the senate defeated
before a final vote a proposed
amendment for a M.000,000,000 green
back Issue to pay for the whole pro
gram. Designed to provide work for 3,
500.000 employables now on relief
rolls after the 9880.000,000 for direct
aid In exhausted, the big measure on
final roll call drew the support of
55 democrats, 11 republicans, and the
two farmer-labor and progressive sen
ators. Only six democrats and ten repub
licans answered a meek "no" when
Vice President Garner, put the final
question.
First Indications that strong-nrm
methods would be employed to
choke off an Incipient filibuster came
Just as the senate convened, an hour
earlier than customary.
Senator Robinson, the majority
chteftan, moved to table a rider by
Senator Thomas providing for a
broad mandatory silver Inflation to
make money more plentiful and help
pay the relief bill. This parliamen
tary club Is even more drastic than
cloture for It automatically shuts off
further debate.
The tabling motion carried 40 to
33. after which Thomas was permit
ted to put In a milder silver amend
ment for the sate of checking fur
ther delaying tactics and with the
ultimate view of having the provis
ion eliminated In conference.

Will the person who absorbed the

Bennett said members of his group,

WASHINGTON, March 23. AP)
A drive for new and huge taxes, In
volving In some degree the thorny
bonus Issue, hung threateningly to
day over administration leaders In
con press.
Looking ahead, they gathered their
forces to repel an attempt In the
senate next week at upward revision
of the Income tax rates schedule
that will accompany debat on re
pealing the "pink slip" publicity
feature of the present law.
Meanwhile, the Chamber of Com
merce of the United Statea warned
that a aenate "drive" Is forming to
force consideration of drastic Income
tax Increases, particularly corporate.
It also held up the possibility
that new taxes will be needed to
finance payment of the bonus, if
that la passed over President Roose

Supporters of the Patman plan to
pay the bonus In newly Issued cur
reney, approved yesterday by the

such action.
In the matter of new taxes, ad

postpone such legislation until late

PAST WEEK GAINS
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO Pacific coast
business banged along at about the
best pace In two years. Retail sales
were a bit better and wholesale
trade Improved with moderate gaina
shown In freight traffic, electric
power output, lumber and oil pro
duction, and industrial employment.
Despite a dust choked mid-west,
business and Industry stepped for
ward last week Into the promised
land of spring trade.
Hand In hand as leaders of the
week's statistics were automobile and
production and bank clearings.
Motor makers produced 100,065
units last week, as estimated by
Cram's, the first time since 1030
that the 100.000-mark has been
passed. The rise from the previous
week was a little leas than 3.000
units.
Bank clearings for the week ended
Wednesday were the highest this
year, and some analysts Interpreted
this to mean the general public had
started Its long-delayed spring buy
ing In anticipation of this year's late
Etuiter, although income tax pay
ments undoubtedly were a potent
factor In swelling the total.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., March 28.
(AP) Caustic criticisms of the na
tional administration and vibrant
calls for a rebirth of the Republican
party were sounded here today by
former President Herbert Hoover and
Col. Theodore Roosevelt.
Both said the Democratic Roose
velt regime wa pointing the country
toward bankruptcy. They called upoa
the nation to reject the administra
tion brand of "bureaucracy and regi
mentation." Whether the Hoover pronounce
ment signified preparation for his
active appearance In the 1P36 politi
cal arena was the subject of varying
opinions, he himself, left one clue,
however, when he said :
' . . . Rebirth of the Republican
party transcends any personal Inter
est or the selfish Interest of any
group."
Col. Roosevelt charged the ad
ministration with "hampering re
covery by an Insensate mass of regu
lations Imposed on farming and
mislnem bv a narrow. Inexperienced,
political bureaucracy."
Some of the highlights of the
message follow:
The theories or this administra
tion do not work. They are no longer
a propagandixed mtllenlum; they are
self -exposed.
We stand on the threshold of a
great forward economic movement. If
only the paralyzing effects of mis
taken governmental policies and
activities may be removed.
The present conception of a na
tional economy based upon scarcity
must In all common sense be re
versed to an economy based upon
production.
The Republican party has the
