GLASS LEADING REVOLT Says Ability of Conferees Has Been Disparaged by Dems' Chief. WASHINGTON -(AP) Resentment at remarks by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the democratic leader, smould ered today among Senators who wrote the wage amend ment which has stirred up a dispute delaying final action on the $4,880,000,000 work re lief bill.

They met to decide whether to resign from the conference com mittee charged with settling con gressional differences over the measure. Prior to their meeting, Senator Glass (D, Va.) asserted that Robinson had reflected upon the ability of conferees' to carry out their duty conscientiously. Robinson Deplores Practice He referred to the Arkansan's assertion yesterday that it was "regrettable that the custom has prevailed in the senate of too we quently committing a bill to Us enemies. At the heart of the controversy between the two southerners was an amendment which would re quire that one-third of the 000,000 set aside in the Works bill for loans and grants to states and local governments be spent directly for labor. Back to Conference In an effort to eliminate this requirement, the' House sent the measuie back to conference yesterday after hearing that was what President Roosevelt wanted to do.

Glass then asserted that he might decline to serve in a new conference on the measure. If he did continue on the committee, he said, he would not yield to the administration's desire for elimin ation of the wage amendment. Others May Leave It was indicated that should Glass resign, Senators Hale (R, Maine) and Keyes (R N. also would leave the committee. The possibility that Senator Copeland N.

might resign, too, was suggested in some quarters. If these four stepped out, new senate conferees would be appointed to serve with Senator McKellar Tenn.) the fifth member of the committee, in the event he decided to continue. Should the present conferees forget their dissatisfaction with the situation sufficiently to par ticipate in another conference with House representatives, it was expected generally that a conference would be called for later in the day.

Wenls Politics within the city Is just smouldering. The air now is rife with un confirmed rumors about numer ous persons who are assigned by the popular fancy as probable candidates for mayor but unfor tunately most of the rumors are mere, imaginary froth, or seem so. One story which gained consul erable credence was that Senator James Ford had withdrawn from the mayoralty race and was switching over to be a candidate for president of council. Senator Ford, when asked about It said That Is some of Dan Delong's dope. You can say for me that I have not changed, and I am going to be the next mayor of Chillico the."

FOR PENSIONS Suggests Postponement Payments on Principal of Bond Issues. of COLUMBUS (AP) Governor Davey, in a special message to the legislature, recommended to day a plan to raise between 000.000 and $35,000,000 for old age pensions, unemployment re' lief and local governments, includ ing schools. His three-point plan included i recommendation that the legis lature authorize local aubdivcions "to postpone, for two years, the payments on principal of matur ing bond issues and use this rev enue for operating expenses, requiring at the same time that the interest be paid." Meets" Earlier Promise The bond proposal fulfilled the governor's campaign promise to recommend a bond moratorium plan.

In his message, he emphasized that the plan "should be made permissive and not mandatory." His plan for meeting the state's financial burden follows: 1 "To provide the necessary $15,000,000 or more for unemployment relief, I propose that the issurance of county relief bonds be authorized, which can be financed out of the extra one per cent excise tax on public utilities. This tax yields about $2,400,000 per year and would be ample to pay off 70 per cent of the principal annually and all of the inter est on the county relief bonds." From General Fund 2 "For the additional 000 necessary for old age pensions during the last six months of this year, I propose that this amount be appropriated directly from the general revenue fund, and we will undertake to save enough out of the current budget to meet this added burden." 3 "To take care of the acute problems of the local governments, including schools, counties, villages and townships, in addition to the help already provided through the sales tax, I propose that these local subdivisions be authorized to postpone, for two years, the payments on principal of maturing bond issues, and use this revenue for operating ex penses, requiring at the same time that the interest be paid. This is the so-called bond moratorium plan, which should be made per missive and not mandatory." Won't Make Rider Of School Bill, Representative Says COLUMBUS (AP) Rep. Law rence A. Kane, (R.
