SHffia RIGHTS DECIDED
By PAt'L M.U.LOX
WASHINGTON. April 29. The
president has deftly managed to get
congress back on the right road since
hia return from
Florida. He la
handling It like
a balky mule.
Rising the feed

Instead of the
stock.
The mule haa
learned It can

compromises. The fAVL MALLON
master apparently appreciates the
necessity of this, and ia willing. In
fact, these two seem to understand
I each other better than heretofore.
Progress Is, therefore, certain, even
If tedious.
In the- arrangement of this new
- relationship you can now get a fair
ly good line on the rout to be fol
lowed for the remainder of the ses
sion. It Indicates the essential feat
ures, of the 195 Roosevelt legisla
tive program will be enacted within
ninety days.
A swift glance Inside at the pros
pect will show you the following:
The Harrison bonus compromise
will pass the senate substantially as
It U. The house will reluctantly ac
cept It and so will the president.
Taxes will be left until later. Near
the end of the session, an ad minis-,
tratlon bill will be offered to con
tinue certain expiring excise taxes,
not including those on checks. The
liberals In both houses will make an
effort to attach many soak -the -rich
taxes on this bill. In the end, in
heritance taxes may be instituted,
but not much else. There will be no
.general Increase In- taxes.
The Eccles bank bill will be pluck
ed from the grasp of Senator Glass
and passed substantially as desired
by the administration. A few miner
concessions will be made.
The NRA will be continued, al
though in moderate form. It will re
quire three weeks to get through the
senate, but there appears to be little
chance for the opposition to btock
It, or to alter it materially. The fight
against It Is bogging down, at least
for the time being.
Despite all current rumors to the
contrary, President Roosevelt will in
sist on the holding companies bill
and will get It. after making some
concessions. The final form will
probably extend the time for abolish
ing holding companies, or else sub
stitute government regulation.
The social security program will be
approved In virtually the same fund
amental form as It passed the house,
but with several technical readjust
ments.
The A F. of L. crowd is lobbying
hard for the Wagner labor board bill
and the Black thirty-hour week, but
neither bill has much of a chance.
Jlhe liberals have Joined the lobby
for the Wagner bill, hut admit they
will have difficulty getting It to a
vote. Something like it may be writ
ten Into the NRA bill. The antl
lynchlng bill Is doomed.
The AAA crowd is consorting with
southern Democrats In an effort to
revise the AAA amendments and save
them, but the chances are not good.
The only railroad legislation which
will be passed Is the bus and truck
bill. At the" last minute, the admin
istration will try to continue East
man's authority and may succeed.
The railroads are making a drive for
the bankruptcy bill, but the recent
supreme court decision may be ade-

Cement Company's Right to
Make New Channel in
, Rogue River Upheld by
United States High Court
WASHINGTON, April 09. p Tho
California Oregon Power company of
San Francisco was loser today in the
United Statea supreme court In its
contest with the Beaver Portland Ce
ment company of Portland and the
city of Gold Hill, Ore., over use of
water from the Rogue river.
The Rogue river is a non-navigable
stream, running between the proper
ties of the two companies. The pow
er company claimed riparian rights
to use of the water, and contended
the cement company had blasted a
new channel which would divert the
water from ita proper course.
The power company brought suit
In the federal district court for Ore
gon to prevent the opening of the
new channel and to obtain the water
It claimed. That court held the pow
er company waa entitled to take from
the river water for domestic and
stock purposes and for garden lrrl- '
gatlon. 1
The ninth circuit court of appeaJs j
at San Francisco decided against the I
contentions of the power company j
and took the view advanced by the
cement company and the city under
the desert land act of congress and ,
the Oregon water code, the cement j
company had violated no constltu- I
tional richt of power by making a 1
new channel. This decision was up-:
held today.

Speed and Efficiency

Big Work Relief Dfwe
President's Radio Talk to Nation Urges
All to Cooperate in Program
Optimism Marks "Chat"
WASHINGTON. April 39. (AP) After appealing to all Americans
to help make the t4, 880.000,000 work relief drive "the most efficient and
cleanest example of public enterprise the world haa ever seen," Presi
dent Roosevelt sought today to get the vast undertaking "in full awing
by autumn.'
Meantime congress faced the pros-
pect of a prolonged session extend
ing well Into the hot summer. The
president. In the "fireside chat," In
which he outlined hia work relief
program, had called for action on
such controversial Issues as social
security, extension of NRA, banking
and utility holding company legis
lation. Note of Optimism
His remarks on works and legis
lation were regarded today as two
salient portions of the address. An
other was the note of optimism the
president struck aa he sat before
the microphones In the oval room
with ft flower In the lapel of his
grey suit and his aides around htm.
"Never since my Inauguration In
March. 1933." he said, "have I felt
so unmistakably the atmosphere of
recovery."
"Fear la vanishing." he added, "and
confidence la growing on every side,
renewed faith In the vast possibili
ties of human beings to Improve
tnelr material and spiritual status
through the instrumentality or Dem
ocratic government. The faith Is re
celvlng Ita Just reward.
"And for that we can be tnaniciui
to the God who watches over Amer-
lea." j
Answers Critics
Early In his address, Mr. Roose
velt answered critics who say the
administration's program Is con
fused. Comparing the program to a
large ship being built, ha, said:, .
"When one of these ships' Is un
der construction and the steel frames
have been set In the keel, It Is dif
ficult for a person who does not
know ships to tell how It will fin
ally look when it is sailing the high
seas."
Absent from the list of legislation
the president mentioned were such
measures aa the Wagner labor rela
tions bill, the proposed amendments
to strengthen the AAA'a powers, the
Copeland food and drug bill and
others. But he aald he would name
only a few bills In the talk and
asserted "I do not want my mention
of apeclfic measures to be lnterpret-

FINAL ARGUMENTS
ARE HEARD TODAY
IN SOLINSKY CASE
PORTLAND, April 20 ( AP) Final
arguments and Instructions to the
Jury occupied the court today as the
end of the trial of E. C. Sollnsky
drew to a close.
Sollnsky, ousted superintendent of
Crater Lake National park. Is on
trial In federal court on Indictments '
that he misappropriated federal funds
In administering the affairs of the
park, and that he padded payrolls.
The defense built its case on
the theory that Solinsky's adminis
tration of financial affairs at the
psrk may have been irregular, but
that any money that mny have ac
cumulated from such Irregularities
reverted to tho government In the
form of equipment or service and
that Bolln&ky did not profit from
any of tho transactions.
The defense blamed A, R. Edwin,
former chief clerk at the park, for
all the account Juggling and any
embezzlement not for park purposes.
Edwin and I. F. Davidson, former
construction superintendent at the
psrk, were Jointly Indicted with So
