SEAT PRICES DROP
LONDON .—(/#)~-Prices of top
flight coronation grandstand seats
dipped downward today in strike
stricken IL.ondon as the demand
for luxury accommodations along
the May 12 procession route fell
off . ;
At the same time London felt
the full. impact of the busmen'’s
strike that has tied up the city's
5,000 buses since midnight Friday,
threatening to snarl- traffic ar
rangements for the coronation
only nine days hence.
Early morning crowds, return
ing to work after the week-end,
jammed subway and surface car
systems, seriously taxing those
branches of the transportation
network which was crippled by
the walkout of 25,000 busmen de
manding shorter hours, i
The drop in coronation grand
stand seat prices affected the
luxury accommodations prineipal
ly, though some speculators be
lieved there would be a last-min
ute rush of buying.
Some Oxford street flats, for
‘which as much as SI,OOO had been
asked, were advertised today for
half that amount.
Several large seating agencies
said they were sold out of $25
seats, but still were holding a big
number of the better seats, which
are priced from SIOO to S2OO.

election victory, however, the Pre
sident finds Congress balkier than
at any time jn the last four years
Vice President Garner is no long
er willing to follow Roosevelt's or
ders blindly, and various senators
leport that Garner is working be
hind scenes against the court plan.
Many senators who disagree with
Roosevelt’s preforms are no longer
willing to pretend loyalty.
They Think of 1940
The court fight has become a
catalytic agent for a massing of
the conservatives against Roose
velt, and the thought of 1940 has
been well wuir in the minds of all
concerned from the start. Some
by the Fresident's bold proposal.
Otherg were angered by his sneer
at old age, and still others seized
the issue as an excuse for break
ing with him.
Some conservatives, who pre
viously stood in line and even now
are willing to vote for the court
plan, are fighting Roosevelt on
the issues of labop and relief, No
table example is Senator Jimmy
Byrnes of Soutp Carolina, former
White House confidant and ligison
man, who was willing to em
barrass Roosevelt by hig sit-down
strike amendment 0 the Guffey
coal bill, and whe now seeks to
cut the relief appropriation to a
billion dollars instead of the §l,-
500,000,000 asked by the President,
Garner is said to have supported
Byrnes in these positions, :
Southern members opposed to
‘ynion organization have been es
pecially vocal, although the con
gervative group which includes Sen
ators Byrnes, Connally of Texas,
Bailey of North Carolina, George
of Georgia, and Byrd of Virginla,
also includes (Copeland of New
York, Burke of Nebraska, Walsh of
Masgsachusetts, King of Utah and
Tydings of Maryland,
And Roosevelt Goeg Fishing
Conspicuously loyal to the Pre
sident, however, ig Senate Majori
ty Leader Joe Robinson of Arkan
sas deemed a conservative and
believed to be handling New Deal
measures because of a stérn sense
es party guty and pergonal respon
sibility, Robinson has become
gomething of a liberal who really
believes jn much of the President's
program. And there is a nucleus of
young southern progressive such as
Senators Black of Alabama gnd
Pepper of Florida and Congress
man Maury Maverick of Texas
whose quick rise to prestige and
influence has soured conservative
Texans.
The Texas group, anxious to
exert ity power and control the
1940 nomination, includes Garner,
Connally, House Majority Leader
Sam Rayburn, Chairman Marvin
Jones of the House Agriculture
Committee, and Chairman Hatton
Summers of the House Judiciary
Commitiee, whose lukewarmness
led the administration to launch
the court plan in the Sénate rather
than the House, This group is
quietly backing able, conservative
and popular Chairman Jesse Joneg
of RFC for 1940, although cynical
outsiders believe the idea is to use
Jesse for trading purposes when
trading time comes,
Meanwhiie, as hyg enemies make
their supreme etfort to crumble
his pillars of power, Roosevelt is
off on along fishing trip.

Attorney General M. J. Yeos
mans responded today to a repors
ter's questions ¢cngerning the sits
uation. o
“Q. Who can vote on June B.°
“A. All persons whose nam
were on the 1936 voting list, and
whose names were rlaced theres
as qualified voters by thé count
board of regisirars and filed with
the clerk of superior court. Sue
persons are presumed to hq.va"
poll taxes for 1935 and prie
years. Also, persons who registers:
ed on or befere December 8, 1936,
and who pay poll taxes in tim
to get their names on the voters
list, and have it certified by th
board of registrars, and filed with
the clerk of superior court.” =
“Q. Suppose a citizen has n¢
paid 1935 poll taxes. Can thifii i
paid now?” o
“A. No, and he cannot vote i
the June 8 election.”
“Q. When were poll taxes for
1936 due?” .
“A. On December 20, 1936.”
“Q. Can 1936 poll taxes be pal
now ?” f
“A. Yes, but they must be pa
in time to permit the votw’t
to be certified by the bos ‘f;)""
registrars, and the voters’' list
filed with the clerk of superior
court.” G
“Q. How late can 1936 poll
taxes be paid in order for a citi
zen to vote on June 8?2” o
“A. That is a mechanical, o
clerical problem. In some countie
where the list is short, they may
be raid up until a few days bes
fore each election. In others
where the list is long and the
population is large, it will %
considerably more time. This is &
matter each county board of reg
istrars will have to handle. If &
citizen is in doubt, let him ask
his county registrars, or coungy
attorney.” E
“Q. When must a citizen haye
registered if he is to participate i
the June 8 election?”
“A. On or before December &
1936.” .
“Q. That means that you can
not register now?” -
“A. That's right.”
“Q. What, if anything, has the
1937 poll tax payment to do with
qualification of voters for th
June 8 election ” (e
“A. Nothing. That doesn't ens
ter into it at all. The law says
that to vote in a general election,
as the June 8 election was desig
nated by the legislature, one mus
have registered six months
to that election. That date was
December 8, 1936. The 1937 poll
taxes will not be delinquent until
after December 20, 1937.” =
Judge Yeomans urged that “all
citizens who might become eligi=
ple to vote on June 8, but whose
1936 poll taxes are not paid, pay
them promptly.” . &
