MALLON Copyright, 1937, by Paul Mallon WASHINGTON. May 19 Uncertain evidence as to Mr, R.'s aerlouaness about balancing the budget came out of his recent acrles of conferences KJRU1 WIHICIB. brought word back to anxious leglala jtora that he would : balance It In the old Spanish man- n e r, "man ana," I.e., in 1938. VN. lunl atlsf actory to I those who want MpEaOsSpan Immediate bal l-am Mallon ance. they seem to be somewhat appeased by the new assurance. The "manana" balancing of the budget has been going on for three or four years now. but this time they profess to believe It will be done. What makes them so sure Is the fact that It could have been done this year If the president really had wanted to do It, and they do not see how he can avoid doing It next year That too-healthy tan on Jtm Par ley's face these days Is not premature sunburn. He Is Just smoking from within because he thought he was talking off the record when he aald: 'Well, when Senator O'Mahoney comes down here (the White House) wanting help on his sugar bill, his conscience won't be bothering him, will it? Or when Pat McCarran wants aid for his state. It's all In the view point." Mr. Farley has always talked freely. His friends think, too freely. They are surprised ho has not become In volved In something like his present threst to antl-packlng supreme court Democrats long before this. Friendly newsmen have occasionally kept h!s.i out of trouble by giving an Inkling of how his free talking might sound In' print. Ha is now csrrylng a roll of ad hesive tape In bis pocket. The power message which the pres ident ha been promising to congress will contain a recommendation tor a flock of new power authorities like TVA. There will probably be one for each of the great river systems of the country. What his advisers have been saying he hss In mind la one tor the entire eastern se&board, one for the Pacific northwest, one for the Colorado river, etc. ' The reason he Is sending It up soon Is to take the congressional mind ofr the more controversial measures now pending. , Wall street has been suffering psy chosis neuroses over gold and 100 per cent margins, imong other things. Or. at any rate, government authori ties attribute the recent decllnea to widespread shivering over these two topics. (They do not mention strikes.) No authorities here have anything very comforting to ay about the gold situation. They know they are In a mess, and If anyone has a astls factory solution he la keeping It from the others. They comfort themselves with the thought that there Is noth ing Immediately alarming and thai current Irons In the lnternstlonal fires (the British working arrange ment, for one) may esse their dif ficulties. The 100 per cent margins talk. however, seems to be Just one of those Wall 'street rumors. The iest of au- (Continued on Page Six.) SIDE GLANCES by TRIBUNE REPORTERS f.ttti.

County Medford Full Associated Press i BILL IS DEFEATED 101 TO 68 DESPITE Mott Sees Pacific Coast As Locale if War Comes Party Lines Broken in Battle Over Appropriation WASHINGTON, May 19. (AP) The house killed today a bill which would have authorized a $1,350,000 appropriation for a naval air base at Tongue Point, Ore., on the Columbia river. The vote was 101 against 88 for the bill. Chairman Vinson (D-Oa) of the naval committee urged the house to approve lglslatlon authorizing the ex penditure. Although he said the project did not have approval of the budget ou reau or the navy department. Vinson declared he believed the 25 members of hie committee were as "fully com petent" as any navy officers to Jr.dge the advisability of the project. "Is It treason for me to advocate . bill that the budget does not ap prove?" he added. "Have we reached t point In this house where we will rot legislate?" Mott Urges Passage Representative James W. Mott, Salem, Ore., urged passage of the measure. He said one of the largest and most valuable unprotected areas of the United States could be protect ed by one of the smallest expendi tures ever proposed for such an undertaking. Mott contended the navy depart ment "la not opposed" to the Tongue Point base because every witness on the measure said the base was not cnly necessary but Inevitable." "I don't want to be an alarmist," Mott said, "but we all know If war comes, It will "come on the Pacific cast. It's why the fleet Is there. "We all know the attack will come cy air from the sea at the entrance of the Columbia river." Needed For Defence The only way to defeat such an attack, he said. Is by meeting It with itiperlor air force based at the point o: attack. . Representative Nan W. Honeyman ut Portland. Ore., appealed for ap proval of the legislation on the ground the national defense program could not be completed without pro vision for the Columbia river. The floor fight developed Into a tug-of-war between the naval affairs and appropriations committees. Party lines went by the board. BASEBALL SU LOUIS. May 18.

( AP) Victorious senate' foes of the Roose ?lt court bill turned away from Indi cations of administration compromise ti.day in pursuit of a triumph on the senate floor as decisive as the adverse vote In the Judiciary committee. Opposition lenders said the measure was dead. They forecast the compro mise advanced unsuccessfully In the committee by senator Logan (DfKy) would prove the new fighting ground Logan, a supporter of the president, suggested that one additional Justice be appointed each year If any mem bers of the supreme court served past 75. The number would, drop back to nine when the older Justices retired Permit 1.1 Justices The Roosevelt bill would permit an Increase up to a membership of 15 If Justices over 70 years did not with draw. The court would remain per manently at the number to which It was raised. No one qualified to speak for the administration had conceded the bat tle for the president's bill had been dropped, but Logan said his compro mise was favored by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader.

Rogers, spokesman for the couple, said the contract was signed yesterday under British law, but that its provisions would not be disclosed. Rogers added his personal opinion that members of the royal family were absenting themselves from the duke's marrlsge because "the king (Oeorge VI) was advised not to send anyone. The British government has con tended that the wedding should be a private ceremony, without royal rep' resentatton. Although details of the marriage contract were not known. It was dis closed last night that it would be possible for the British royal family by contract to prevent Mrs Warfleld from obtaining any of the duke's her lUge In the event of separation.
