OARNER F.MBROES AS IIKAD
OF OPPOSITION I.EAOKRS
PATRY LOYALTY HAS
PREVENTED OPEN RUT
HIS FIGHT AGAINST
SPENDING VIRTUALLY OPEN
BREAK WTH F. R. LAID TO
TEXAN'S CONSERVATISM
WASHINGTON. April 17. John
Nanoe Garner, officially vice-president
of the United States, haa open
ly emerged this week as the unoffi
cial leader of the Democratic opposi
tion to the president. Well-informed
persons have known that only party
loyalty has restrained the vice-president
from open rebellion on several
Issues of the past year; now, on
pending, his rebellion has virtually
become public.
In view of the wild talk provoked
by his spending rebellion, It's Inter
esting now to have a look at Garner,
to see what eort of fellow he Is. and.
especially, to see what his relations
with the president really are.
Mr. Garner had, from the start, a
personal affection for the president,
whom he usually addressed as "cap
tain" or "old top." The friction of
constant disagreement may have
worn his affection rather thin of late
- It has certainly altogether worn out
his earlier attitude, that all Demo
crats must go along with the presi
dent because he Is the leader of the
Democratic party. Ho expressed tt
admirably once himself, when certain
House leaders came to Mm to com
plain bitterly of the brutal treat
; ment accorded them by the president
In the holding company bill fight.
"It doesn't matter what kind of a
guy he Is." snapped Garner, to a
representative who had criticized the
president in personal terms. "You're
a Democrat, and so long a he's
president of the United States, he's
the leader of your party, so he's your
guy."
Nowadays, unhappily, the ' i-'osl-dent
is no longer the vice-president's
"guy," The break between them
must be traced to Gflrner'n funda
mental conservatism. Some liberal
commentators like to picture the
vice-president as a venomous tory
plotter. He Is nothing of the sort,
but he is a conservative.
His conservatism Is. after all, quite
natural. His land holdings In Texas
are enormous. He Is the squire of
Uvalde. He has a handsome "stake
In the country," Indeed, he Is un
doubtedly at least once a millionaire.
And. being a squire, his conservatism
la saulrearchlcal. He frankly detests
Wall Street and the men of money
He is a strong trust-buster. But he
Is also a budget-balancer and aggres
sive policies In the labor movement
disturbs him greatly.
Aa everyone knows by now, his real
rebellion began last winter. In dis
agreements with the president about
the sit-down strikes and the bud
get. It may not. however, be gen
erally known, although the story has
been printed, that the stt-down
strikes occasioned his bitterest quar
rel with the occupant of the White
House.
When the slt-downs began. Garner
was greatly agitated, and extracted
from the president a promise to act
aaalnst them If they grew worse. In
March. 1937, while the president was
In Warm Springs, the slt-downf did
grow a great deal worse.
Garner summoned Undersecretary
of the Interior Charles West, then
White House lobbyist on the hill- He
made a rousing speech on the sit
down problem and demanded that
his views be transmitted to the
president. They were transmitted,
but no action came.
Thereupon Garner stirred up the
Senatorial excitement In regard to
the slt-downs, which finally brought
the president hurrying back to Wash
ington for a conference with Garner
and Senator Joseph T. Robinson At
the conference. Garner exposed his
opinion In such forcible language,
and the president used such sbarp
words In reply, that the horrified
Robinson shouted the two men down
snd called a hlt to ail conferring
for that day.
From the moment of that quarTel
on. Oarner has constantly made trou
ble for the president on the hill In
the court fight, hla a'.tldute was one
of passive distaste for the president's
great measure, and It may be sus
pected that he took some delight In
playing undertaker lor It In the end.
But all last spring he was agitating

WASHINGTON, April 16. (r Re
publican lenders agreed today to car
ry a fight to the country against fur
ther huge "pump-prlmtng" expendi
tures by the federal government, but
Democratic critic of the president
refused In the main to go along with
them,
'The Roosevelt opposition within
the Democratic party determined,
however, to Join In a vigorous effort
to restrict the president's authority
over his proposed $4,500,000,000 pro-,
gram of lending and spending to end
the depression.
Some Republicans said they hoped
this effort to "earmark" the purposes
for which funds could be used would
result in prolonged debate in con
gress, during which public opinion
might register against increased fed
eral spending.
Administration leaders predicted
quick approval of the president's rec
ommendations and went ahead with
arrangements for committee hearings
next week.
The Republican national committee
announced that John Hamilton. Its
chairman, would speak over a nation
al (Columbia) radio network at 5 p.
m. (PST) Sunday night. He will dis
cuss the question, "where are we
bound?" Aides said It would be his
first address over a national network
since last November S.
There was no advance Indication as
to what Hamilton might say. but re
porters had no doubt about the prob
able trend of another address to be
delivered by Senator Vandenburg of
Michigan, a 1940 Republican presi
dential possibility, over another (Mu
tual) network at 4 p. m. (PST) Sun
day. Shortly after the president submit
ted hla recovery and relief program to
congress on Thursday, . Vandenberg
commented:
"I must reject his renewal of a
profligate spending program with Its
deficits and debt because that Is the
route, In part, which has brought us
where we unhappily are."
Without waiting for congress to
provide additional funds, Secretary
Ickes, the public works administrator,
resumed spending under the old PWA
program today. Ho apportioned $3.
119. 902 In loans and grants to help
finance construction of 58 schools
and school additions in 27 states.
Iclees BAld these allotments would
be financed under existing legisla
tion from the sale of bonds and oth

Reliable persons disclosed that the
works progress administration, in an
other step to combat depression,
shortly would place a "substantial"
order in the cotton cloth markets for
materials to be used In work-relief
sewing rooms.

Roosevelt's business tx policies de

STORE CLERKS AT

tHIRllS
Free Rides To Portland Met
With Price Slashes
Neither Wins But Public
Profits.
OREGON CITY. Ore.. April 16.
(AP) Both unionist!) and merchants
claimed victory tonight in one of
the strangest merry-go-round In the
upset conditions of northwest tabor.
It was strange chiefly because such
doolie bystander as Mr. and Mrs.
John Public for once got all the
breaks.
The A .FX. Retell Clerks union.
trked by the merchants' refusal to
sign a closed fchop agreement, lured
Saturday shoppers to Portland, 10
miles away, by offering free bus
transportation.
Fifty stores, although only five
were picketed, countered with smash
ing price reductions.
In all, It was n pretty bury day.
The manager of one large chain
store said he had an "exceptionally
good" Saturday business. The con
cern was crowded with customers
all day. The union announced it
special bus service had resulted in
a sharp exodus from this pioneer
paper mill elty.
Mr. and Mrs. Public observed the
whole business with gleeful nma?
ment. They had the choice cf ac
cepting a free ride "to the city"
for a Saturday celebration or re
maining at home Tor some extra
ordinary bargnln hunting.
The dispute centered at a furni
ture store, chain department store,
a flve-and-ten, a men's furnishing
establishment and a fhoe store.
Forty-five other merchants rallied
to the side of their troubled asso
ciates to keep Oregon City trade for
Oregon City business men. Twenty
seven were placed on the union's
unfair list.
The bargains ran something like
this: 25 cents a yard piece goods for
a nickel, 6 dresses for 3, 8 worth
of free merchandise with every man's
suit, an 80 davenport for $49.
The chartered buses, announced
by handbills all over town, ran

Britain tonlht signed an agreement

quarrels which might have led to

Far-seeing diplomats sought to
discern a possible five-power pact
which would brln Oermany and
Poland back Into collaboration wUh
Britain, France and Italy.
In London, British official spokes
men emphasized the psychologies I
value of the Anglo-Italian accord
which they said Chamberlain hoped
would be a "stepping stone" to
complete restoration of Anglo-Italian
harmony and general European ap
peasement. Though an attempt to break the
Rome-Berlin axis was disclaimed In
British official circles, the agreement
waa sen in some quarters In London
as a new British stroke to recreate
the Stresa front of Britain. France and
Italy against Oermany If Oermany
maintained an aggressive course.
Mussolini In his telegram to Cham

He went further by awertlnR !v:
