HARKNESS Inquirer Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, March tor Pt Harrison (D Miss.) today assf.iei. President Roosevelt's policy of spending for recovery with the bald declaration that "economic con fusion and chaos are inevitable" un less the Democratic Party Institutes an economy program to preclude the necessity either of raising Federal taxes or increasing the public debt beyond $45,000,000,000.

"I have no confidence in the economic philosophy that we must spend ourselves out of this economic dls order," the Senate Finance Commit tee chairman said in suggesting an inner-Democratic conterence to study means of curtailing deficit spending "unflinchingly and without political consideration." PREDICTS 'CHAOS' "If immediate and unified plans are not laid, and enormous and un precedented expenditures are continued, with the national debt mounting," he warned, "economic confusion and chaos are inevitable." Contradicting Mr. Roosevelt's theory that the Government must continue spending to raise the Na tion's Income to the prosperous level of a year, Harrison added: "I think that if we can get business to have confidence, hold down spending so as not to Increase the public debt, and take away some of the taxes deterring business, you will find the country achieving an $80,000,000,000 income," SEE GARNER DRIVE Harrison's statement, which struck Congress and the New Deal an a surprise, appeared to signal a de termlned renewal of the antl-Admln- istration drive of Vice President John Nance Garner and other Southern "conservative" Democrats against New Deal spending. The Senator revealed that the economy program, which cut from Mr. Roosevelt's WPA deficiency request, already has taken these new lines: 1. Conferences with some "high-up" officials attending, which projected the possibility of having Congress arbitrarily cut 10 per cent, from all appropriations except those financing fixed Federal expenditures.

2. Opposition to the New Deal plan to have Congress increa.se the legal public debt limit from the present level of $45,000,000,000 to Harrison said he personally opposed the $5,000,000,000 increase. ECONOMY CONFERENCE 3. A Democratic conference representing both the executive and legislative branches of the Government to discuss economy steps. "The Government's fiscal picture must be carefully scanned, and that doesn't mean next year, but now and it should be done through clear vision, and not through a colored lens," Harrison said.

"We are confronted with a budget which calls for over $10,000,000,000 in appropriations for the next fiscal year, and the cold suggestion in the budget message of a deficit that will amount to $3,500,000,000. "This Congress 1 to consider the legislation that would make possible these large expenditures. We have a national debt of and a guaranteed underwritten debt of $5,000,000,000." "I don't think we've reached the danger point yet as far as the national debt is concerned," he said. Continued on Page 5, Column 1 N. Y.

McGAHAV Inquirer Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, March 2 The purge of political influence in the WPA, already under way in Pennsylvania, will be applied on a Nationwide scale, it became apparent today. The decision to remove political coercion from work relief, Inspited by the revelations of the Committee to Investigate Campaign Expenditures and the Use of relief funds, headed by 8enator Morris Shcppard Tex.) will affect the WPA in all Siates, equally.

It was regarded as significant, however, that the first effort to put into effect the new provisions of he deficiency appropriation act, defining penalties for political activity, was made in Pennsylvania, where U. S. Senator Joseph Guffey built a powerful political machine within the WPA. FIRST MOVE IN PENNA. The Sheppard Committee susta'n-ed the charges of irregularities in Pennsylvania made by U.

S. Senator James J. Davis. The first move in the Nation-w'de political purge was made Wednesday when E. C.

Smith. newly appointed ac'ing WPA Administra tor in Pennsylrania, issued an order forbidding political office holders from supervisory, administrative skilled or technical Jobs in the work relief organization.

In dealing with Reichsfueh-rer Adolf Hitler on the treatment of Catholics in Germany, Pius XII was expected by foreign observers to exert the vigor of his comparative youth though 63, he is well under the average age of the Cardinals. But he Is known as an astute diplomat and there are many who say he has talents qualifying him to restore better relations not only with Germany but with Fascist Italy, which was accused by his predecessor of wounding the Lateran Accord of 1929 by its racial policy. 150,000 IN SQUARE People fainted in the crush of faithful who Jammed St. Peter's Square to receive the benediction ot the tall, thin and ascetic diplomat who was raised by his brother Princes of the Church to the Vicarage or Christ.

PROVISIONS OF RITUAL Tliere, In the Slstine Chapel, still In secret, the ritual provided for the picturesque ceremony surrounding the acceptance by the Pope of his election, the obedience of the Cardinals and his appearance before the crowd massed in St. Peter's Square.

They lowered the canopies over the chairs of all but Cardinal Pacelll. Pope-elect was asked in Latin If he would accept, and with his formal assent recorded, he became pope in fact.

In central-city churches, where the word was received in time for an announcement to be made, the worshippers immediately offered prayers of thanksgiving and asked Divine assistance for their new Holy Father.

M. last evening, when the bells in Catholic churches ordinarily toll the "Angelus," those in all the 388 parish churches in the archdiocese rang for an extra length of time to commemorate the selection of the Church's 261st successor of St. Peter.

Shortly after the announcement of the College of Cardinals' choice reached here Bishop Hugh L.
