ADVISERS SCRIMMAGING
OVER VTIMTIES POLICY
LEFT-WINGERS DOI'tlT
tX'RTHER COMPROMISE MOVE
MODERATES OFFER PLAN
FOB PERMANENT PEACE
DEATH SENTENCE ti.ALSE
HELD 1CE TO RE MOIIIFIKD
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. A Wild
acrlramage for access to the presi
dent's ear In the matter of ultilltles
policy la now In progress at the
White House a scrimmage which is
likely to prove one of the most im
portant In all the troubled history
of New Deal palace politics, for the
whole administration approach to
the present depression Is likely to
depend on Its Issue.
The very ark of the covenant ot
the New Deal, the president's ag
gressive attitude toward the utilities,
li Involved In the scrimmage. The
question Is whether or not to coun
teract the panic terror now pervad
ing American business by making
concessions to the utilities. If the
president's moderate advisers are suc
cessful In obtaining concessions on
this point, conservatism and the
conciliation of business wilt be the
keynotes of the vital next months. If
the left-wingers In his circle con
tinue as triumphantly persuasive as
they have been hitherto, little notice
will be taken of the, depression's ad
vance unless It grows so bad that
a vast spending program Is Inevit
able. Entertainingly enough, if the left
wingers are victorious, they will have
to thank for their victory the same
nine elderly gentlemen In whose
elf -reversal last spring they aaw
such calculated wickedness. Their
leading argument la that, since the
supreme court Is now friendly to
the New Deal, concessions must not
be made to the utilities until the
justices have dealt the administra
tion three aces by sustaining the
holding -company law and the TV A
and PWA programs.
The left-wingers around the presi
dent do not subscribe very heartily
to the theory that changes In public
psychology are effective in lighting
depressions. They do not believe
that, even if concessions are made
to them and their future Is assured,
the utilities will respond by pouring
much more money Into construction
work than the $400,000,000 odd they
pent on It In the past year. More
over, the elaborate regulative cornet
which the federal government nas
built around the utility business Is
almost entirely the handiwork of tne
president's left-wing advisers. These
three factors account for their ener
getic opposition to concessions on
the utility front, and for the vio
lence of the White House scrimmage.
According to the left-wingers, the
president's recent offer to make peace
with the utilities. In return for their
voluntary acceptance of new rates
based on the prudent Investment
value of their properties, is a cheer
ful sham. They will tell you that
most of the utilities systems are
top-heavily organized, that they could
not get along with rates recalculated

SALEM. Nov. 33. (AP) Governor
Martin demanded today that the na

"immediate action" in settling the
Portland sawmill dispute.
At a three-hour conference behind
closed doors with Charles W. Hope,
regional director of the board, and
E. J. Eagen. board attorney, the gov
ernor said he expected the board to
take "Immediate action In settling
the dispute between opposing labor
factions."
Hue to Union Row
The Portland sawmills have been
closed by a Jurisdictional dispute be
tween the American Federation of La

Today's conference virtually ended
Hope's resurvey of the dispute, or
dered by the labor board after Mayor
Joseph K. Carson of Portland told
the board to "take action or get out
of the picture, so municipal authori
ties can settle It."
Neither Hope nor the governor
would comment on the success of
today's conference.
The governor. In a prepared state
ment, said he pointed out to Hope
that since August 14 "the lumber In

"The employe have at any and

settle these Jurisdictional disputes
between themselves.
"The present crisis is bringing
about the ruin of the economic struc
ture of the state and the threat
ened relief burdens, which the tax
payers might be unable to meet, are
such that there must be no further
delay."
Hope, also In a prepared state

Roosevelt Calls Advisers
To Help in Finding Cure
For Business Depression
. . - ' - ' 'J
WASHINGTON, Nov. 98. (AP) President Roosevelt called 1n some of
his . political advisers today to dlseuss ways the government can aid
business.
Secretary Morgenthau and Undersecretary Maglll, treasury tax expert,
were summoned first for a conference on latest treasury studies of taxes.
Chairman w. Averell Harrlman of
Secretary Roper'a buslneas advisory
council, followed the treasury offl
ctals to the White House.
A third conference was with Ed
ward P. McGrady. director of labor
relations for the Radio Corporation
of America and former assistant la
bor secretary.
The afternoon was allotted to con
ferences looking to a settlement of a
long-standing controversy between
the administration and private pow
er. Wendell L. Wlllkle, president of the
Commonwealth and Southern Cor
poration, a private utility operating
largely In the south, was the first
of several utility managers called to
the president's study.
Ftank R. McNinch, former chairman
of the federal power commission,
was down for a conference before the
Wlllkle Interview, but waa expected
to remain for It.
The president received all his call
ers In his study, where he Is recup
erating from the effects of an In
fected tooth, extracted last week.
His physicians said his tempera
ture waa norma, but there was still
some drainage from the Jaw socket.
Speculation developed In some ad
ministration quarters that Joseph P.
Kennedy, chairman of the maritime
commission and former head of the
securities commission, eventually
might be asked to arrange a peace
agreement between the utilities and
the administration.
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan,
who has been mentioned as a pos
sible Republican presidential candi
date In 1940, haa suggested a ten
point economic program which he
aald would "give honest business a
chance to create stable prosperity."
The proposals, made In a nation
wide radio broadcast last night,
were:
End buslneas distrust of govern
ment, speed up balancing of the
budget, substitute "incentive taxa
tion" for the "punitive brand," amend
the social security set and the Wag
ner labor relations art, abandon the
wage-hour bill, curtail the president's
"executive despotism," give relief to
farmers "without bureaucratic con
trols." adopt on "Insulating neutral
ity, and abandon "all autl consti
tutional activities and intrigues.''

American sgrlculture must establish

Addressing a group of Kansas

the senate was beginning delibera

The present campaign for farm
relief la a renewal of the old battle
of "equality for agriculture," Wal
lace said.
"Temporarily, perhaps, the nation
can get along with farmers Ilka serfs
or peons supplying cheap food and
cheap fiber for cheaply-paid labot
in the cities." Wallace said. 'But
such a policy never has led and in
the end never will lead to any tin nr.
