panies, Fort Worth division of j
Lone Star, the Lone Star Gas Co.
which is the pipe line division of
the system, Lone Star Gasoline
Co. and the Council Bluffs (Iowa)

Born near Franklin, Texfas, Mr.

G. N. railroad. From 1912 to
1919 *he was with the Texas State
Railroad in Pal*.stine and Rusk.
His career w ith Lone Star start-

In the matte of the Farm Re-
lief appropriation, Mr. Morgen*

I cleg’ free spending policy.
Anything may happen at this
session of Congress, except tne
early adjournment that the lead-
ers were talking about at the be-
ginning of the year. The outlook
now, however, is that no vital
changes will be made in the so-
ealeld “Wagner Act” under which

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—One
thing which this Congress does
not intend to do if it can possibly
avoid is to raise taxes.
Already at this session it has
given many indications that it will
go a long way in cutting down the
President’s requests for appro-
priations rather than increase the
tax load. The situation holds the
possibility of another violent clash
between the Executive and the
Legislative branches of the gov-
ernment.
Mr. Roosevelt expressed him-
self as believing that the majority
of the people would not approve
the slashing of $67,000,000 from
his farm relief figures. The Hous:
of Representatives did just that,
through a coalition of Republicans
and conservative Democrats lei
by Representative Woodrum of
Virginia. The House paid no at-
tention to the plea of Speaker
Bankhead not to strike out ar.
item of $25,000,0000 for loans ot
tenant farmers.
No better evidence of the gen-
uineness of the economy wave on
Capitol Hill could be given than
this move to reduce Farm Relief
in an election year. What the fate
of the measure may be in the Sen-
ate remains to be seen. But tne
issue has been sharply joined be-
tween the spending bloc and the
economy bloc.
Difference Of Opinion
Inside Administration circles
there is a sharp difference of
(.pinion on the question of spend-
ing versus economy. The two chief
fiscal advisers of the President
are at swords’ points on national
monetary and economic policies,
Governor Marriner S. Eceles of
the Federal Reserve Board is the
mfst ardent ad—^ate of free
spending in the executive fc.v„p.
On the other hand, the Secretary
of the Treasury, Mr. Morgenthau,
is getting more and more economy
minded from day to day.
The President has great per-
sonal liking for both of those ad-
visers. He sometimes shows signs
of being influenced by Mr. Eccles
end the next day the Morgenthau
influence seems to be dominant. It
has become a sort of guessing
game among political observers
end Congressional leaders as to
whether the President’s attitude
frequently has been delivered to
the buyers. Now, in spite of the
hitter quarrel between the two
great groups of organized labor
both the Federation and the CIO
seem to be agreed on one point.
Each would like to have the Labor
Act amended so as to prevent the
ether factiom from having an ad-
vantage. With the two labor wings
so sharply divided, it does not
seem likely that Congress will
take any action which would ben-
efit one group over the other.
Politically Coniciou*
Politically, organized labor has
begun sharp-shooting in the Pres-
idential campaign. There is no
way of guessing how large a pro-
portion of John L. Lewis’ follow-
ers are ready to go along with him
in opposition to the renomination
and re-election of President Roose-
velt. Likewise, nobody can guess
how many members of the Feder-
tion unions will go along with
William Green in standing behind
the President politically. But
labor is more openly and aggress
ively politically conscious this
year than it has over been before
in a Presidential year.
The belief is growing among ex-
perienced political observers that
no declaration on the subject of a
third term is likely to come from
the President until the very eve
of the nominating convention. His
