WASHINGTON, April 21. fn an
exceedingly Influential circle of left- '
wing new dealers, there Is tremend
ous excitement at the moment about
a brief sentence In the new Glass
R..F.C. law. The left-wlngefs are de
lightedly convinced that the R.F.C.'s
conservative chairman, Jesse H
Jones, and Virginia's even more con
servative senator, tough old Carter

maintain that Senator Qlass and Mr.
Jones have Already procured con
gressional authorization for what
amounts to the Douglas plan.
The clause In question authorizes
the B.F.C. to purchase securities "of
such sound value ... as reasonably

Mr. Jone's answer to the left wing

the clause doesn't mean what the
left-wingers think. He has remarked
privately:
"Tn the first place, there Is no

the bill concerns the RFC, and. If
