House leader off the reservation. Rep. Edward T. Taylor, D. of Colo., and acting House majority leader for the 74th Congress created a furror on the Hill when he advocated a currency inflation method of paying off the soldiers bonus. This usual Administration stalwart is now throwing his support behind Rep. Wright Patman's plan. At the same time, Rep. Taylor declared that he was through acting as House Majority Leader unless supported by a direct cacus vote. These two decisions of the veteran threaten to disrupt House Democratic ranks even before the opening of the new session next month. Rep. Raylor is the dean of all Western Congressmen. He served 14 consecutive terms since 1909. Only 15 men, in the history of Congress have served as long, 12/4/35

Nathan Straus, USHA administrator, after reading 14 pages of a 56 page statement to the House Banking and Currency Committee yesterday, today looked resigned while the Committee held a 20 minute off the record discussion of the Senate debate in stripping the President of some of his monetary powers.
