HEW CONGRESS
IS FIGURING IN
INFLATION MOVE
By Byron Price
(Chief Of Bureau, The Associated
(, ,- Press, Washington.)
There are certain practical reasons
t why the Rooseyeit administration la
f giving more : attention to ithose who
t want Inflation than to those who
' think thero already is too much, j
I ' Congress meet lit January. Last

t At the last moment.
S. They may be right or wrong about
It, but administration strategist
think their real problem now la to
keep In the hands of the president
the discretionary liberty he tins un
tier the present law: ' .
Gome go further, and say the only
way he can aooompluh that la by
Y taking the ball away from bongrees
by some new currency action before
January. Such a development would
cot surprise Washington. ' '
State Department Quiet
The administration's foreign affairs
elate is about clean- again. 1
Russian recognition Is accomplish
ed. Cuba shows signs' of - settling
down, 'The discussions of war dobte.
South American trade and disarma
ment hare either died entirely, or!
gone Into quiescence. Washington has
divorced Itself, on paper at least, from
the European tangle.' ' '
Barring untoward developments,
the state department promt to take
a back seat In the news for the pres

Old-timers In Washington ami'
when they heard of Acting Secretary
ICorgenthau's blue-pencil order.
Many painful Incidents have to
keep officials from expressing their
Views to newspapermen or In speeches

- When a department Is housing dis

are much louder when compression
