MEDFORD Thirtieth Tear Full Associated Press MEDFORD. OREGON, "WEDNESDAY. MARCH 11. 1936. Full United Preu No. 300. V'N.' PTf' a. aaaaaa BUNE FBfl By PALL MALLOV (Copyright, 1B36. by Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON, March It. The economy program appears to have been mislaid lately under s pile of papers on Presi de n t Roosevelt's desk. More than six weeks have passed since the started, but the president has been dodging any talk about specif ic saving figures. All be has been saying Is that he .'V ..Ji has been scraping me DDlwm ui me Paul Mallon barrel, but he will not aay what came off. The reason seems to be that he has not been able to get much worth talking about. Those who have had en opportunity to look Into the bar rel have noticed that the president has been encountering some difficul ties. Their tip Is that the bulk of econo mies will be effected with a pencil rather than a scraper. That Is, some of the spending bureaus have .found they cannot spend as much a they thought they could. Their econo mies, therefore, have been effected mainly by adding up their uaapend nble surplus. Moderates within Mr. Roosevelt's of ficial family cite what has happened to Dr. Tugwell as a typical example. It seems that all of Mr. Roosevelt's advisers are sgalnst Turgwell's activi ties. Unanimously they personally consider his rural resettlement pro gram economically unwarranted. They want to cut him down to nothing. But Dr. Tugwell Is supposed to have figured that he can use somewhere around $200,000,000 of his original planned S300.000.000. The moderates rather generally believe he could not spend the other 100,000,000 If he tried. This amount Is being listed as sav ings. Thus. Dr. Tugwell, up to the time this was written, had survived the scraper. That explains why he rec-ntlv obtained extension of his leave from Columbia university for an other year and has settled down quietly to his resettling again. Inside his organization there Is still considerable uncertainty about Joba. The only groups of his employes who figure themselves secure and safe are those performing work In which Mrs. Roosevelt Is most Interested. Neat handling of congress on the tax program by the treasury was a carefully planned strategem. Most significant waa the way Treas ury Secretary Morgenthau ducked away from testifying before the house ways and means committee. Instead of appearing himself, he sent his law yer, Herman Ollphant, and Internal Revenue commissioner Helverlng. Mr. Helverlng chose his words with care, when called upon to submit possible alternatives to the Roosevelt program, he selected the most ob noxious ones he could find. He men tioned such politically dlstastef ul pos sibilities as a general sales tax, lower Income exemptions and a S3 1-3 per cent Increase In tobacco taxes. The tobacco suggestion was pre pared especially for the effect It would have on Chairman Doughton of the committee and Speaker Byrne. (Continued on Page 811) SIDE GLANCES by TRIBUNE REPORTERS a a.

Subsidy HEATED DEBATE PRECEDES VOTE LI Appropriation of $26,500, 000 Hit by Southern Dems Maine Republican Voices Plea for Coin WASHINGTON, Msrch It. (AP) The senate today passed the 075,- 000,000 treasury-poatof flee appropria tion bill after eliminating a $28,300,. 000 house, item for continuation of ocean mall subsidy contracts. The bill now goes to conference for action on the subsidy and other amendments. There waa no record vote either on the bill or the subsidy elimination. Hot debate, however, .preceded the subsidy action. It left the Impression that ahould new ship subsidy legis lation not be enacted, the money would be provided In a later deficien cy bill. The vote came wltbln a minute after a plen from Senator White (IL, Me.) for restoration of the sum to carry 0:1 the subsidy which haa In part supported the merchant marine sin co 1928. The appropratlon waa attacked by 6entora Black (D., Ala.) and Glass (D Va.) as an Indirect subsidy, while they favored payment of any subsidy' directly. , White said he freely conceded th ocenn mall contracts were an "Indl-' rnct subsidy' 'of the merchant marine "but I deny they are dishonest or fraudulent.' "I concede," White said, thai msay were improvident, some were unwise and some should not have been en tered Into, but I deny they are Ille gal. The action of the senate left advo cates of ship subsidy the alternative of pushing substitute legislation through a wall of opposition or at tempting to restore the ocean mall subsidy appropriation In later legia- la tlon.
