RECOMMENDED THREE Asks Defeat Of Senators Op- TIMES TO COMMISSION posing Court Plan. ing Every Report From Conflict In Far East. Lack Assurance From State WHEELER ATTACKS HIM Board That Anything Will Be Done. The lack of a definite plan for improvement of county roads was again illustrated today as the County Commissioners were faced with a query as to chances of building one mile between Middletown and Jefferson, which has been without improvement for about four years.

The State Roads Commission built a new road leading southward from Middletown in 1933, but left a gap of one mile unimproved toward Jefferson. L. Roy Remsburg, farmer residing in that section, told the Commissioners today there had been a number of complaints from the vicinity that the road had never been finished. Mr. Remsburg stated that the road was widely used to join the Middletown valley and Jefferson sections, and was in bad condition.

It is traversed by a mail route. The Commissioners replied that building of the stretch had been recommended, not once, but at least three times, to the State Roads Commission, but that they lacked assurance that anything would be done. When the state road was built by a former Roads Commission, the county had asked that a less expensive road be i for the entire distance but this was not done. Construction Not Likely It is not expected that new construction will embrace the unfinished gap near Jefferson, since the only money held available for building new roads in the county is a Federal of about S29.000. which is expected to bo put on the mountain road from Point of Rocks toward Brunswick.

The Commissioners have verified the recent statement from the State Roads Commission that Bridge road was on their list of recommendations for improvement this year, but say their recommending power has seemed to have little force with the Roads Commission as to a general plan. No road i i has been done in the county this year. Resurfacing of state roads is under way in some parts of the county, and resurfacing of some old stone pikes is scheduled to be done when the main road work is finished. Consider Assessment The Commissioners held a closed meeting early this a to consider matters of the property assessment now under way in the county. They are desirous a no residents of the districts be missed as members of the Board of Permanent Assessors cover the ground alloted to them.

Instead of i outside Monday, the assessors plan to meet i i a i a Supervisor Alfred W. Gavcr, and check up on former assessment books to see what property owners may not have been furnished i the 1937 schedules. The associate assessors. Ernest C. Speaks and Grayson II.

Mercer, have completed i i i i and spent one day in Potersville district. After completing Jefferson and Ballenger, they plan to edge around Frederick and a work in Mt. Pleasant district in September. Piece From Exploded Truck Found In Garden Washington, Aug. 21 Wheeler Mont.) told the Senate today that Senator Guffey Pa.) didn't write the caustic radio address he delivered last night and was "afraid" to deliver the speech on the Senate floor.

Wheeler won the floor to repl3' to Gufley despite a point of order raised by Senator LaFollette i By a voice vote the Senate shouted down the objection and permitted Wheeler to continue. Wheeler's remarks on the floor came while a quiet movement got under way unofficially to depose Guffey from chairmanship of the Democratic senatorial campaign committee. His demand that senators who opposed President Roosevelt's court reorganization measure be defeated aroused bitter feeling in ranks of the opponents, and precipitated one of the most explosive political situations this session has known--just a few hours before adjournment time. Although those involved in the deposition movement were not ready to talk for quotation, they said they would insist upon removal of Guffey from leadership of the committee set up to aid election of Democratic senators. Opponents of the President's court reorganization plan were highly indignant over Guffey's unprecedented speech last night in which he called specifically for the defeat of Senators Burke NebJ and O'Mahoney Wyo.i.

He also named Senator Wheeler Mont.) in the speech. Wheeler was a principal leader of the court bill opposition. Guffey a predicted defeat of O'Mahoney and Burke and said Wheeler would have "plenty to do" in the way of explaining before 1940. GufTey's speech was a sharp contrast with recent statements by Democratic a i a James A. Farley that there would be no reprisals for opposition to the court plan.

Coupled with a statement from John L. Lewis questioning the ability of Democratic leaders to carry out their program, it aroused new speculation on a possible new political alignment by 1940. WAGNER HOUSING BILL FEEL NEUTRALITY LAW IS UP FOR AGREEMENT WOULD WORK HARDSHIP Flood Control Farflung System Of Communi- Bill Sent To White House. Washington, Aug. 21 weary Congress neared a today, but i so much of its original program postponed a members half expected President Roosevelt to call them back in two months.

a i Leader a predicted this session's end will come by "sundown." Little remained except to bring the Senate and House into agreement on the final form of the Wagner housing measure and the deficiency appropriation bill. Both branches had approved the two bills but in such varied form that conference committees had to go to work to compromise the differences. Two major pieces of legislation went to the White House yesterday ---the sugar quota bill and tax loophole plugging measure. The sugar bill fate was obscure despite efforts to amend it to Mr. Roosevelt's satisfaction.

He had objected to any i i a i on island possessions which he said i be a i The tax bill, however, was certain of approval. The President had asked for it when he found revenue was far below expectations last spring. The Senate also sent a S34.000.000 flood control bill to the i House. The President indicated he would sign it. a not approving of all its provisions.
