CHURCH OF ROME I Opposition of Glass Effective to Extension of Monetary Program. WASHINGTON. (JP. Secretary Morgenthau's plea for an extension of the administration's broad monetary powers encountered the flat opposition of Senator Glass Thursday. A- senate banking and currency committee voted to delay action until next week on a bill extending these powers after Glass had charged that the president's authority to lower the gold value of the dollar had disturbed business.

Morgenthau, accompanied by a dozen treasury experts, had asked the senate group to extend until Jan. 15, 1941, existing powers to devalue the dollar, to operate the $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund, and to coin new silver mined in this country. The treasury secretary said these powers were "a shock absorber" that protected this country from unstable world conditions. Glass in a Protest. This brought an explosive protest from Glass, who was presiding at the hearing.

"I think the very fact you have this power has created the disturbance," Glass said, his voice' rising and color rushing to his cheeks. Morgenthau hesitated and then quietly replied that he disagreed with Glass. Glass then read a lengthy statement asserting there was no reason to continue the devaluation authority, and declaring that this was "the best opinion of 55 outstanding economists from the leading universities of this country." German Marks An Example. Then the senator picked up a thick stack of bills, waved them at Morgenthau and said: "I've got here German marks that used to be worth $46,000 and they are not worth wiping your nose on now. I'm utterly opposed to giving president or anybody else these powers," he stormed.

"I'm opposed-- to letting congress or anyone else take us on this road of further degrading our currency." The Virginian said he favored continuation of the $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund (which was created from the treasury profit when the dollar was devalued in 1934 because "if we turned it into the treasury it would be spent pretty soon." Earlier Glass and Morgentnau had disagreed about the results of President Roosevelt's devaluation move five years ago. "I take it you consider it was responsible for recovery in this, country?" Glass asked. "I don't think it was wholly responsible," Morgenthau said. "But it played a part." "I don't think it was at all responsible," Glass retorted. Stabilizing as Protection.

Morgenthau had argued that the stablization fund was a broad protection in foreign markets for American trade, especially for the sale of agricultural products.

BURKE HITSJfVAGNER ACT Also Attacks Labor Board in Bronx Speech. NEW YORK. UP). Senator Burke Neb.) denounced the Wagner labor act Thursday night as "an irritant, a disturbing force," and the national labor board as a "fantastically partisan" body. In a speech prepared for the anniversary banquet of the' Bronx board of trade, he outlined his proposed amendments to the act, adding: "If the public desires to see the amendments given careful study, they need only make their wishes known.

It is my firm belief mat a strong sentiment will sweep the country in favor of reasonable changes that will make the national labor relations law an instrument of good, instead, of a constant threat against industrial peace.

Laying down a two point foreign policy, which he said would have the thorogoing support of the public, he declared in a rising voice: "First, America wants no war. America will fight to defend herself, but America wants no war. "And secondly, America will have no entangling alliances: not only that, but America will have no commitments, no understandings or arrangements by which we may be taken into the vortex of a war, or by which we might be taken into the disputes of Europe." House Takes Up Army Bill.

While the Californian, veteran of many a fight to keep America from what he terms "foreign involvements," was criticizing President Roosevelt's foreign policy as leading to "sanctions," which he called worse than war itself, and denouncing the recent sale of planes to France as surrounded with "secrec and Btealth," the hubbub over national defense and foreign policy continued elsewhere. The house began consideration of the largest annual appropriation bill for the war department ever to come before it in time of peace nearly 500 million dollars And early in the debate, it received a warning from Representative Snyder in charge of the measure on the floor, that as soon as congress decides upon the scope of the proposed expan sion or tne air corps: "Very sizeable (additional) amounts will be asked, to provide 'critical items' of equipment, which would be needed in an emergency, such as anti-aircraft artillery, semi-automatic rifles, anti-tank guns, tanks, light and heavy artillery, ammunition and gas ma3ks."

"The imminence of war today," he said, "is partly attributable to a lack of firmness of the democ-. racies of the world in meeting the demands of the dictators.

Firmness, fairness and fearlessness are required by the United States today in its dealings with other governments." The house military affairs committee, meanwhile, studied the possibility of exchanging essential war materials with other nations, (Continued on Page 5, Col. 1.) 2 NEW CARDINALS FOR U. S. Pope May Fill Hayes' Place Soon, Name Another. VATICAN CITY.

UP). The naming of two new cardinals for the United States is considered as pos sibly one of the early actions of Pope Pius XII. The new pontiff will call his first consistory soon to fill some, at least, of the vacancies in the college of cardinals. One of these vacancies resulted from the death of Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York last Sept. 4, and another from his own election as pope.

Appointment of a new archbishop of New York, a seat vacated by the death of Cardinal Hayes, was expected to receive the early attention of the pope The three American cardinals O'Connell, Daugherty and Munde-lein, attending the conclave for the first time as a full group, would have an excellent opportunity to inform the new pontiff of the feeling of many Catholics in America that he should give them wider representation in the college.

Demands 'Radical Slash in Expenditures to Avoid Further Taxation. WASHINGTON. UP). Chairman Harrison of the senate finance committee warned the nation on Thursday that it faces "economic confusion and chaos" if the "enormous" federal spending is continued and the national debt continues to mount Demanding a "radical and substantial" cut in expenditures to avoid additional taxes on business, the veteran legislator, who guides tax bills thru the senate, declared in a formal statement: "The government's fiscal picture must be carefully scanned, and that doesn't mean next year, but now and it should be done thru clear vision, and not thru a colored lens." Proposes Conference.

Observing that substantial reductions could be made in spending by emergency agencies, Harrison said he would like to see a conference of responsible officials in the government, "from the president on down," called to map an economy program. He told reporters to whom he handed his statement that an economy program, linked with definite assurances that, there would be no tax increases nor any boost in the limitation on the national debt, "would be one of the biggest things that could happen to business in this country." "We are confronted," he said in his statement, "with a budget that calls for over ten billion dollars in appropriations for the next fiscal year, and the cold suggestion in the budget message Bf a deficit that will amount to three and one-half billion dollars. Nearing Debt Limit. "This congress is to consider the legislation that would make possible these large expenditures. We have a national debt of 40 billion dollars and a guaranteed underwritten debt of five billion dollars.

"The present law fixes the national debt limit at 45 billion dollars. With mounting expenditures and recurring deficits, it is inevitable that the limit will be reached about the first of July, 1940. Something must be done now to meet this serious situation. The government cannot continue to spend such excessive sums without increasing the limit to which the national debt may go, or without increasing taxes to provide the current revenue to meet the appropriations. "Taxes are now so heavy that to increase them would add additional burdens upon American industry and the American people.

Additional taxes would act as a dfiterrent to the revival of business, to the increased employment of people, and would handicap the government's effort to increase the national income. "I am opposed, unless excep tional circumstances arise, to in creasing by law the present limit of the national debt. The only way, however, to avoid this request coming to congress or the taxes being increased is to begin immediately a radical and substantial cut in government expenditures."

A comprehensive program of railroad aid was embodied in drafts of proposed federal legislation for submission to this session of congress which were circulated Thursday in transportation circles.

Highlights of the suggested long range treatment of the industry's ills were: Enlarged RFC lending powers for purchase of rail obligations and for equipment rehabilitation loans. A new five man transporation board with eventual farreaching authority for working out a national transportation scheme, coordinating motor and water as well as rail carriers. Establishment of a special court to handle reorganization of bankrupt roads. These were basic ideas in the recommendations for rail and outlined last December by the so-called of six," representing the railroad management and labor by appointment from President Roosevelt, Labor- Joints Management. Pointing out both management and labor were behind the program, rail authorities in touch with the legislative nhnses were hopeful the proposals would be in snape soon to move thru the congressional mills in time for action at this session.

They recalled Secretary of Commerce Hopkins, in his "encourage business" speech at Des Moines last Friday, had mentioned railroads among the first lines of approach toward the problem of reviving capital investment and the heavy industries dependent upon it. But rail men were disposed to be cautious about perdicting final action of the scone thev desire at this session because their hopes in the past frequently have been disappointed. In certain rail quarters, the proposals for the new transportation agency and for a special reorganization court were described as the crux of the desired legislation. Many points were covered, however in the drafts received here from Washington, where the Association of American Railways has been busy, mostly touching technical phases of rate making, shipping regulations and transportation operations. Proposed Authority.

Ultimately, it was suggested, the new transportation agency, an independent body receiving appointment from the president, might have authority over: Rail mergers. Federal highway spending. Licensing of motor carriers. Permits for contract water carriers. The scope of this authority, it was observed, would tend to make it "a centralizing aencv for the regulation of the mnlnr form, transportation, which rail authori ties nave stressed as necessary to solve the problems of transportation competition.

S. circuit court of appeals, was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday on a conspiracy charge involving payments of large sums of money. A few hours after the indict ment was handed up, physicians disclosed that an operation on the ailing, white haired former jurist was scheduled for Friday afternoon in St. Vincent's hospital. Ranking in importance next to the justices of the U.

S. supreme court, Manton resigned after 23 years on the federal bench in the midst of accusations by New York county's Dist. Atty. Dewey that he had accepted loans from liti gants before his court. Spector Also Indicted.

Named in the indictment with Manton was George M. Spector, one time confidential agent for the late Archie M. Andrews, promoter and financier. Conviction would make Manton and Spector liable to maximum sentences of six years in prison and $30,000 fines.
