loosevelt’s Plans Quashed in House
WASHINGTON. Jan. 31—(U.E>— ‘resident-elect Roosevelt’s objective of substantial reductions in par veterans benefits appears juoomed in the present congress.

The “Douzieme Provisoire,” or special provision for the second month, already had passed the ! chamber of deputies. It permits the government to pay current expenses, salaries and the like while the parliament proceeds with its debate on the annual budget, which caused the downfall of the Paul-Boncour cabinet and threatens a similar fate for the radical-Socialist regime just organized.
Instead of a blanket project in
the February budget, however, the bill included a basis for calculating income taxes.
snowbound at the resort was Morley Drury, former football star. Drury narrowly escaped serious injury when a motoboat in which he wtis riding with a party, capsized during a storm on the lake.

Democrat Leaders Think Walsh, Glass, Young Will Accept Bids
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—(U.E)— President-elect Roosevelt is ready to rewrard Republican insurgents who supported the Democratic program last November by appointing Senator Bronson Cutting of New Mexico as Secretary of Interior, it was said in Democratic circles tonight.
Friends of Roosevelt counted Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana as sure for attorney general. Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, they said, had been offered the treasury secretaryship but had not accepted.
Senator Cutting has not given his answer either. He refuses to admit even that an offer has been made.
Owen Young Named
Who will be named secretary of state remains the mystery a% the moment with Owen D. Young’s name aa the big question mark. Recently he was understood to have sent a letter to Mr. Roosevelt declining the cabinet position, but from an authoritative source Jt was learned tonight the communication w^as not a declination of the secretary of state portfolio.
There have been reports that Mr. Roosevelt wrants Young in his cabinet, despite the persistent opposition of the Republican insurgents who supported the president-elect in November.
The tall, wealthy, studious bachelor who bolted the Hoover Ucket was an old friend of Roosevelt’s in New York years ago before Cutting took up his home in the west.
Cutting frcm West
Cutting now is from the west, w-hich by custom has claimed the interior cabinet post He is familiar with Indian and public land problems which are the trouble land problems which are the trouble spots in the interior department He is a Republican insurgent and was one of the Nor-ris-Lafollette group which cut loose from the Hoover-Curtis ticket last fall.
But Cutting likes the leisurely senate life whereas a cabinet job involves tremendous executive detail.
Other cabinet talk was batted around the senate lobby all day despite President-elect Roosevelt’s statement at Warm Springs that has cabinet was peculiarly his own official family business.

DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 31.—(UP) —Briggs company officials announced today their factory was operating again and said they believed they definitely have broken the strike which forced all Ford automobile plants to shut down last Friday at a cost of 11,000,000 a day.
President Walter O. Briggs said 1400 men had been employed to take the places of strikers and that he was "very pleased” with progress being made toward renewing production.
Officials claimed that many of the workers hired were strikers wrho preferred to accept the wage scale offered them to being jobless. Strike leaders, on the other hand, claimed most of the men now working are strike-breakers.
Only minor clashes occurred today as strikers continued milling
about • the Briggs factory while the work of hiring new employes went on slowly inside. Police stood guard about the plant, escorted workers in and out and kept strikers at a safe distance.
More than 200 new employes who slept in the factory last night under police protection rather than run the gauntlet of pickets began work on the machines today.
Judge William S. Connolly, treasurer of the Briggs company, predicted most of the strikers w'ould drop their demands and return to work when convinced they would not be molested by pickets. His statements were all optimistic and he predicted that now that work has started again on a reduced scale it will rapidly return to normal.
