his hands in the present campaign,
and, unless conditions change ma

more sentiment for Morrison than
now is apparent, he is going to have

Morrison's friends maintain, how
ever, that his visit to the State this
week, which he is spending entirely
in eastern counties where there has
ben a great deai of bitter feeling to
ward him. is doing a great deal of
good. They claim the speeches he is
making and will make by the end

making are having an excellent ef

the feeling that has existed against
him in many of these eastern coun
ties. Morrison spoke Tuesday after

and Tuesday in New Bern. Yesterday

Washington. May 12.—(APIA new
, construction was put today on con
gressional affairs by concerned effort
in responsible quarters to enact • ex
tensive relief legislation in the brief
time remaining before the national
convention.
With a bare four weeks left, with
the big tax bill still to be put through,
and Its budget balancing companion,
the economy bill, still to be rebuilt
from the ground up, these relief plans
were put forward so seriously as to
indicate some prospect of non-par
tisan coalition action.
Senator Robinson, or Arkansas, the
Democratic leader, outlined yesterday
his detailed and extensive program
for a $300,000,000 relief fund, and a
two billion dollar construction plan,
and soon thereafter came Indications
that President Hoover himself was
considering recommending some re
lief plan.
I Unless there is non-partisan action
—an agreement between Republican
and Democratic leaders in both
houses to put through a bill accapt

Washington, Kay 12.—(AP)— The

took shape today at conference* re
volving about the White House and
the Reconstrriction Corporation and
participated Tn by Republican and
Democratic leaders.
As the (fiscussion concluded, Presi
dent Hooter, In a statement, revealed
the aim as being to ‘‘combine, sim
plify and put in concrete form" va
rious relief proposals. First of ail,
however, Is placed a balancing of the
budget.
Senators Watson and Robinson Re
publican and Demncratic leaders, re
spectively. were visitors at the White
House. Others there during the morn
ing were President Dawes, of the Re
construction Corpoiation; Eugene
Meyer, chairman of the Federal Re*

The President went over the situa
tion separately with Watson at break
fast and later with Rx>binson.

Washington. May 12.—(AP)—Pres**
dent Hoover and members of the
b.jard of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation today considered amend
ments to the recurnstruction act
which would allow abates to borrow
from it to meet unemployment relief
needs. 1
The chief executive. Charles G.
Dawes, president qrf the corporation,
and Eugene Meyer, chairman of the
hoard, were in conference today, and
have held a number of such confer
ences within the past week on
subject.
It was undemtood that neither the
President nor ‘members of the board
were giving s»>rious consideration, to
the lending of, money to municipalities
for relief w<y,-k.
The attludJe of the corporation was
that there aje only 48 states, but there
are thousands of municipalltlei in
every sort, of solvency and insol
vency.
When t.he proposal of the President
and the Is made to Con
gress, It is expected to be so d -awn
that the corporation will be ibe to

Then as to Speaker Garner?—as

Governor Roosevelt's elimination!.
Os course the Texan's Califlomia
victory was powerfully to his psycho
logical advantage, besides insuring
him a following of at least 90 votes

This is enough to lift him abov?e the
