MANY OFFER PLANS TO COMBAT RECESSION NEW KF.AI, ADVISERS BI SY DURINO INACTION PERIOD MILDER PI'HLIC WORKS SPENDING F. R. CHOICE MAY TRY REJECTED IDEAS IK PRESENT PLAN FAILS WASHINGTON, April 19. In gov ernment, and. especially In the palace politics of the White House, the things that aren't done are often quite as Interesting as the schemes that see the light of day. Plans with the president's "no" written across them not only indicate what he Is in a mind to reject; they also suggest the thinking of the power ful advisers. In whose minds they originate. This was especially so with tho Immensely numerous proposals which poured on the presidential desk In the two weeks before the final an announeement of his spending pro gram. All the doers, the New Deal advocates of action, had ben driven close to madness by a winter of stag nation. When the word came that the president was ready In a positive fashion, they hastened to put before him the many notions they had cook ed up In the months of anxious waiting. A certain amount of digging has produced a reasonably comprehensive selection of the thlnga the president chose not to do. An will be observed, most of them are more startling than the jm44d pwnllc works spending which he did choose to do. Beginning with those plans which would have re quired an authorizing act of con grew, the selection follows. 1. Loans to railroads: Permis sion for the Reconstruction Finance corporation to make unlimited loans for railroad maintenance and capi tal expenditures. Permission for the president to establish the terms of lending, as a substitute for the pres ent required I.C C. certificate of solvency. a.

JP) President Roosevelt told a press conference today he would de vote the next (wo weeks to a series of conferences with admin istration aides. looking to an Im mediate start of the new recovery program as soon as appropriations are approved by congress. WASHINGTON, April 19. ( AP) The house, accepting one of Pres ident Roosevelt's recovery sugges tions, decided today to more than double the $100,000,000 highway ap propriation in the agriculture sup ply bill. A few minutes earlier, the senate completed final congressional action on another phase of the president's pump priming plan, approving a $50,000,000 increase in the appro priation for CCC camps for the fis cal year beginning next July 1. Opposition appeared, however, to another phase of hit program. Sen ator Gla.cs (D.. Va.) charged that the administration's proposed revival of public works duplicates a pro giam which Is possible under au thority recently given the Recon struction Finance corporation. I'pped By House The road fund, trimmed to $100. 000,000 as a budget balancing aid suggested by the president, was in creased to $201,500,000 by the house. Mr. Roosevelt rescinded his budget balancing request in his recovery message. The agriculture supply bill, which Included the expanded road fund, was approved by the house and sent to the senate. The bill's total was $33,323,316 In excess of the sum appropriated for the current fiscal year and $95,867, 602 above the amount recommended by the budget bureau. Budget esti mates were prepared before Mr. Roosevelt recommended a larger ex penditure on roads. , Glass Balks Glass, chairman of the senate ap propriations committee, said he would support President Roosevelt's recommendation for $1,250,000,000 for relief, btit would not vote for a $1,000,000000 fund to provide pub lic works loans and grants to cities and states. The newly-enacted RFC lending bill, which Glass sponsored, author izes that agency to make public works loans to state and municipal governments. The same statute also assigns the agency "blank check" powers in making loaus to business. As far as Is publicly known, how ever, only business loans have been considered. When he Introduced the bill. Glass said he believed It would "take care of public works." "Otherwise I would never have Introduced it." he added. E I SE ATTLE. April 19. (AP) John F.
