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

The power message which the pres
ident ha been promising to congress
will contain a recommendation tor a
flock of new power authorities like

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

Is to take the congressional mind ofr

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

with the thought that there Is noth

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.

Victorious senate' foes of the Roose

cations of administration compromise

senate floor as decisive as the adverse
vote In the Judiciary committee.
Opposition lenders said the measure
was dead. They forecast the compro

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

manently at the number to which It
was raised.
No one qualified to speak for the
administration had conceded the bat

dropped, but Logan said his compro
mise was favored by Senator Robinson
of Arkansas, the Democratic leader.
This quickly led to speculation

that he and Mrs. Wallls Warfleld have
signed a contract of marriage, pre
sumably for disposition of property
in the event of death or separation
after their June third wedding
Herman L. 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'

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
