By Herbert lMiunmcr WASHINGTON One day toward the' latter part of last November, when it seemed apparent that tho Democrats had wrested control of the house from the Republicans, a gentleman , by the name of John Curry from New, York breakfasted with Jack Garner at the Capitol. John Curry is the boss of Tam many, an organization represented by a bloc of some 20 or more Demo crats in the house. After a breakfast lasting 20 min utes or- more, the Tammany boss and Garner emerged from the house restaurant, . their faces wreathed In smiles. . "Our meeting was purely social," Garner told newspapermen, v But. the impression ' was soon abroad that - the - meeting of these two was more than a social affair. Reports were circulated that "Boss" Curry had assured the Texan of his complete support. 'TAMMANY BOYS' PRESENT New Tork is five hours by rail re move from tho capital. The temp tation to spend tho weekend at home lured many of the New York con gressmen away from the house cham ber.

And they have been making them selves felt. There have been times, no doubt, when the house leader ship longed for their absence. For they work so smoothly and' some times with such devastating effect cn proposed legislation that the leadership has been thrown' ''at times Into despair. They sit together on ' the floor. During the fight on the tax bill and cn the economy moosuro they were going at full speed all the "time. The serious Boylan; : the robust, big voiced O'Connor; the immaculate, earnest Sirovlch' and the dapper, white-hatred Black all fought with unrelenting fury at proposals to slash salaries and effect other econ omies. . 1 . tho law. That should be the text for thin (economy) bill. . . . What a chance for a third party! With the federal employds and taxpayers singing 'Why con't you take all of me?' with the Republicans crooning, 'Deficit, stay away from my door,' and the Democratic leaders acting like 'Minnie the Mooch cr' kicking the gong around . . ."
