No. 138 TN Washington Lowdown e ) Rodney Dutcher Pie Counter Open ' Sad Demise German Boycott Banner-Herald Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON.—Few have no ticed it, but postoffices are back on the pie counter, Congress guessed it ‘had been too generous when jt gave the privilege of allocating all the new ones to Seeretary Ickes wunder the $3,900,000,000 - public works pro gram Tough little Ickes wouldn't hand them out unless he thought they were economically justified. He was so hard to convinee that he even refused one for his own home town in Illinois. postoffices and promises of post offices are pretty important to a congressman in re-election cam paigns. . Ickes, appearing before a none too friendly House appropriations ashcommittee, said if the .country were going. to huild postoffices which the figures showed couldn't he fustified from a business point of view, he hoped the responsibility would be taken away from PWA. 1t must have sounded like a good ilea. Congress quietly earmarked $65,000,000 of the new pullic works money for peostoffices to be select ed from two specific lists whose total cost would he $170.,000,000. And left it to Postmaster General- Democratic National Chairman Jim Farlev and Secretary of the Treas uyrv Morgenthau to choose them. And maybe you think Farley . 2nd Morgenthau are going to have - fun discriminating between one town and another when the boys come hollering! The Tckes estimate that 2,000,000 persona _have heen employed thronugh # WA, directly and indi rectly, seemms a shade on the op timistic side, though there is prob ably no way to detarmine the num ber accurately. It's often figured that $5,000 spent for public works employs tweo men, directly and in directly, for 12 months. Thus far only $570.000,000 of PWA money has been paid out— excluding CWA funds. Do your own long Jdivigion, The =ad demise of the AAA amendments, which Wwould have made AAA eontrol measures bhomb proof in the courts, but which were sunk in committee by senators led hy Smith- of South Carolina and Byrd of Virginia, reealls some amusing inside history. Secretary Wallace and his fellow agricultural brain trusters original~ lv worked out three groups of pro posed amendments to the farm act: 1. The absolutely essential, 2. The important, hut not esgential 3. The desirable, but mneither es sential nor important. They abandoned one set, Soon afterward,” Roosevelt told them to drop the 'second>list—it was too much of a load for the current session. So AAA went to bat only with the “must” stuff, It was that list which was first modified under at tack and then scuttled completely. One of the original amendments was designed to protect the con sumer more elearly than the act, which might be construed to “freeze” the present margins of the middlemen — which isn't the AAA idea at aill Behind elosed doors, Chief Coun sel Jerome Frank of AAA riddled . He explained there were three possihle jnterpretations. which sounded worse and worse as he £Xpounded them. “Who do vou suppose wrote that?” asked Wallace. “I suppose it was Bzekiel" Frank replied, “¥t sounds like him.” (Meaning Dr. ‘Mordecai Fzekiel, Chief aconomie adviser.) “T wrote “it myself,”” said Wal lace, “let's throw it out.” The German moratorium was no surprise to the State Department, which keeps in pretty eclose touch With what's going on everywhere. The economie and finamneial condi tion of Frerr Witler’s eountrv has deen growing steadily worse, though vou would mnot necesearily helieve it from official German statistics.

He told the alumni of Yale uni versity in this connection late yes terday that the “brain trust” would continue in government and he slapped at criticism of congress in the “more erudit2 press of the east.” ; | ‘With this extemporaneous. out spoken expression at Yale, where he reeived an homorary degree of Doctor of Laws, Mr. Roosevelt sail ed aboard the government yacht Thames river, where tomorrow his own school, Harvard, and his new 1y adopted Alma Mater, Yale, will battle with oars.

Mrs. Roosevelt traveled with the president out on TLong Island today. They were acompanied by their eldest son, sames, his wife and her parents, Dr, and Mra. Harvey Cushing. Ruling out politics from national government and depending the ‘brain trust,”” Mr., Roosevelt re marked at Yale: : ‘“While there has been a certain amount of-comme=nt about the use of brains in the national govern ment, it seems to be a pretty good practice—a practice which will continue—this practice of calling on trained p=ople for tasks that require trained people. Conduct of Officials I “I think it is also true that in the conduct of our government there has been no period in our history where what we call in the wrong sense politics, and the wrong sense politicians, enter less than they do today in the conduct of government.

Business is for it, labor is for it, the public is for it Against NRA, he charged are “only a jabbering, moaning clique or oppositionists.” The Blue Eagle, Johnson pre dicted, will “stay put” as an em blem of clean business. In a criticism directed at the Furopean situation as it affects this country, Johmson dwelt at length on the money furnished the allies during and after the war. “I pelieve that a careful study would show,” he said, “that our European debtors never paid a cent of the war debt that they did not either get from Germany or borrow from us, that we loan ed Germany the money to pay them to pay us and finally that gll they bought from us over and ahbove the exchange of goods, we ‘loaned them the money to pay for.” Hunted Over World; Feared Dead - TT e R O et 0 L e Y e T e TR R *§§s R : L eSN R e SRR R S e o o e e A . e RO e S o % Bl iy .
