Washington, April 27-? ?pi" Ions differ, in and out ol Congress as to the probable efficacy of Pre sident Roosevelt's new recoveiy program, as set forth in his ines- ( Bilge to Congress and his "tire-: aide chat" over the radio the same night There is no material dif- 1 ference of opinion, however, on some related point*. Much satis faction is expressed here over the fact that the Administration now clearly recognizes that the nation Is In a serious depression; and even the President's most bluer opponents are gratified at the tem perate tone of his written mes sage and of his radio talk. The new program advocated by the President Is blireefold. It pro. vides for the continuance of re lief measures, the expansion of bank credits and means of pro viding new work in whichi a large variety of industries will share. Coupled with the recent authori zation to the Reconstruction Fin ance Corporation to lend up to a billion and a half more to business of all kinds, with fewer restrictive conditions than in the past, it is the conviction in Administration circles that the President's new plan will do the trick, stem the tide of depression and start the -country off again toward the avowed goal of 80 billion dollars of annual income. Congress Is Cagey The relief recommendations of the President includ? another bil lion and a quarter for the W .PA., fifty million more for the c.t a... Beveuty-five millions for the Na tional Youth Administration and 175 millions additional for the Farm Security Administration. The inclination of Congress is to go along with the President on this part of his program and on that part of it calling for gieat expenditures for public works,, provided Congress can have a say as to how and where these ex. penditures are to be made. tied as Congress is that the Pre sident in this case did not at tempt to issue a peremptory ordei for the legislation he desires, the boys on Capitol Hill are Inclined to be very cagey about giving Mi . Roosevelt another blank check. Much of the recent rebellion in Congress against the Administra tion has been due to the discovei y that when they have voted a lump sum to be used at the President s discretion they were putting a weapon into the hands of the Executive which could be used effectively to discipline the Legis lative branch of government. Nothing has been more bitter ly resented by the general run of Congressmen and Senators than the spectacle of Governors and Mayors lining up at the White House to beg for allotments of public works funds, instead of coming to the Capitol to ask for favors. The traditional pre-roga tive of Congres has been to con. trol the 'pork-barrel," and the most valuable political asset of a Congressman has been his ability to get a good-sized slice of Fed eral funds expended in his home district. right for Prestige That) is why they are scrutiniz ing very closely the President's proposals that they appropriate ; another 450 millions for the Pub- ; lie Works Administration, 37 mil liions for flood control work, 25 millions for public buildings, Treasury loans of 300 millions to the Housing Administration and , a billion in public works loans' to suites and their political sub divisions. They want to have the says as to what states and sub divisions. including Congressional districts, these huge sums are to be spent in, rather than to hand , over lump sums which might;, con. j ceivably, be used to gain more , credit for the Executive and to! discredit members of the Legisla tive branch who have opposed any part of the Executive's program. Therefore there is a strong chance that these new recovery appropriations will not be voted without being "ear-marked" for specific purposes in specific locali. ties, thus re-asserting again the independence of Congress. That is still the real issue. Con gress having found that a strong body of public opinion is back of it in refusing any longer to take orders from the White House with out protest, is inclined to main tain and strengthen its position of independence. It wants to go along with the President in every feasible plan for economic recov- 1 ery and Hie general welfare, but i it is more insistent than for years' in forming its own judgments on whether a particular program will work or not. Lejter Sllrs Trouble The tax bill is a ease in point. The Senate passed a bill which, in its judgments removed some of the major obstacles in the way ot business recovery, namely the un distributed surplus tax and the ex cessive capital gains lax. The House bad modified those to some extent but had retained (heir prin ciple in the tax bill which it pass ed. A conference committee was engaged in trying lo reconcile the differences and agree upon a com promise, when Mr. Roosevelt took i a hand with a letter requesting j that the House provisions on those points he retained. The Senate 1 conferres were insfsteut upon their j position, and considerable resent ment of Executive Interference in a purely Legislative matter is be ing shown by members of both houses. What may be done about the' president's recommendation for a wage-and-hour bill remains to be seen. The House committee has reported a bill which aims toward ) :the eventual setablishuiem of a forty. hour week with a minimum wage of forty cents an hour by statute. Best opinion here is that it will not be passed at this ses sion. On the rest of the Presi dent's new proposals, such as re moving the exemptions from in conjftJLflxes on State and Federal salaries, eliminating the tax-ex emption provision from all future bond-issues, and considering mon opolistic practices in business, there is equal doubt that anything will be done by this Congress.
