WASHINGTON. Jan. 2. No one
need shed a tear for Mr. Roosevelt be
cause congress Is opening tomorrow.
If you have tears, prepare to ahed
them for congress. It needs them,
while dealing with Mr. Roosevelt.
Already he la taking up the Job of
outmaneuvering the boya on the hill
Just where he left off at the last ses
sion. The Inside tale of what hap
pened to the two well-known progres
sive senators shows that.
They came down to the White
House two week ago with blood in
their eyes. They are western republi
cans, not of the stripe which openly
supported Mr. Roosevelt during the
last campaign. In fact they have
been crltlcical of the administration
off and on.
It was a lively scene when they
bearded Mr. Roosevelt in his den.
Fists fell heavily on the presiden
tial desk. They argued that the NRA
was ruining the small business man.
It lifts the anti-trust laws from the
big fellows, lets them Join unrestrain
edly in co-operative ventures, while
the little fellows are left out In the
cold. Something must be done, said
they.
Mr. Roosevelt amazed them by re
sponding In effect (these are not his
exact words) : "Gentlemen, I think
you are right. Something must be
done. Now you two gentlemen know
a 'lot about the subject, probably
more than anyone else. I propose to
appoint a committee In the NRA to
handle this subject of the anti-trust
laws and I am going to name you two
men as that committee."
The gentlemen neafly fell through
the floor.
What the president proposed would
have roped them Into the NRA or
ganization. It would have made them
responsible for protecting the anti
trust laws against violation.
Mr. Roosevelt went on to explain
that what he wanted was a commit
tee like the labor committee headed
by Senator Wagner In the NRA. The
mere mention of their names as
members of such a committee would
be accepted by the country as absolv
ing the administration from blame,
although he did not say that.
They recovered their tongue and
suggested there should be legislation
to amend the basic NRA law in that
respect.
The president accepted that Idea,
but insisted that they serve on the
committee.
The best answer they could think
of was that they would let him know
In a day or two, whether they would
consent to serve.
Days passed and they did not show
up at the White House.
To tell the truth, :ir. Roosevelt
may not have expected them back. He
had the Indian sign on them whether
they came back or not. If they had
attacked the administration severely,
all he had to do was to announce
publicly that he had requested these
two gentlemen to help him straighten
out the matter and they had de
clined. A few days ago they did come. Ad
ministration sympathizers who tell
the story say Mr. Roosevelt summon
ed them. What transpired is not yet
available for publication, but no ap
pointments to such a committee were
then announced. It Is highly Im
probable that the two gentlemen will
ever permit themselves to be maneu
vered Into taking the Jobs. It Is also
improbable that they will come back
to the White House 'ii any similar
i-lssion any time soon.
The current plan of having con
gress Investigate the administration
as It goes along la based on the some
what same Idea.
It has been suggested at the White
House that Mr. Roosevelt likes con
gressional investigations and wel
comes them. However, he doej not
like the old system of Investigating
things alter they hap, en. So he may
propose to have congresa appoint
committees to inquire into NRA, PWA
etc.. all the time.
Tli at is a sensible way to go about
it. but the chances are Mr. Roosevelt
will get a lot more out of the ar
rangement than .congress will.
The scheme ha been worked with
success on the Internal revenue bu
reau. There is a Joint congressional
committee which Is supposed to keep
a watchful eye on tax refunds, and
does, within the limits of Its ability.
It has been operating for several
years now.
Its work Is largely secret. As a re
mit you hear little criticism of the
bureau now In congress. The tenden
cy clearly seems to be to make con
gress more friendly toward the bu
reau. That ako will be the result of the
continuous investigation Idea general
ly, if it goes through.
For tl:e-e reasons, and others. It
appears that current fears about con
gress running wild this session, are
groundless.
Mr. Ra-wevelt will have troubles
aplfnty. He will hart to make com
promises and sccept some things he
dors not like. That 1 as It should be,
became, alter all, congress cannot be
:ong all the time. But for the first

Cloudburst in
Los A. Area
Spreads Ruin
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 2. t7P Central and northern California today
remained shrouded by the wake of the storm, which spread death and
destruction in the Los Angeles area, as a new disturbance moved down
from the Washington coast.
While predicting "probably clear" skies for southern California by to
morrow, the weather bureau reported the rest of the state may expect
more 'rain and snow from the north.
LOS ANGELES. Jan. 3. iVP) The
horror of another catastrophe, the
third In nine mqnth, locked southern
California in its grasp of misery, dis
tress and enormous damage again to
day. Last March an earthquake terror
ized the southland, claiming 102
lives. In October, 29 men were cre
mated in a brush fire. And Sunday
the greatest single day of rainfall In
history loosed flood waters which had
drowned at least 31 persons, probably
more.
Between eight and 15 Inches of
rain, suddenly pouring down as
though a trapdoor had been sprung
in leaden skies which had threaten
ed bad weather for a week, created
scenes of havoc second only to the
appalling damage in the millions done
by the March earthquake.
Many Injured.
Besides the known dead, police
authorities' had listed 27 persons as
missing. 35 had suffered more or less
serious Injuries and scores, running
into hundreds, were treated for lesser
Injuries inflicted as avalanches of
debris were scattered ruinously from
the surrounding mountains over pop
ulated areas.
Hardly an acre of the metropolitan
area escaped without some scar but
by the fury of nature running wild.
From a week-end normally counted
as one of the happiest here, augment
ed as It is not only by the Christmas
holidays but by the famed tourna
ment of roses and Rose Bowl football
game, southern California awoke to
day to scenes of disaster that taxed
the Imagination. -
Seek Missing Kin.
People, fear and grief written Into
their faces, searched the morgues and
hospitals for missing kin. Property
owners, hearts gladdened by the rush
of a holiday business that had better
ed the records of three years, sur
veyed store stocks damaged by silt
I and water, possibly 3.000 homes and
1.500 automobiles damaged badly by
j water, a score of bridges washed out,
highways swept away, railroad tracks
inundated and roadbeds greatly soft
ened.
The collapse of bridges and the
washing away of homes caused most
of the human casualties, numbering
babies, boys and girls, young men and
women, middle-aged and elderly per
sons.
So furiously did the rood waters

BY ROTARIANS AT
Members of the Medford Rotary
club continued their last week's dis
cussion of taxation under the lead
ership of County Judge Earl Day, at
thetr regular meeting this noon at
the Medford hotel. Judge Day again
reviewed the financial condition of
the county and state and pointed
out the necessity of the sales tax
if Oregon's schools are to remain
open. The futility of raising much
needed school funds through other
methods of taxation was explained
by Mr. Day who la thoroughly con
versant with tax problems In this
state and was formerly a member of
the legislature.
"The greatest portion of funds de
rived by a sales tax will be paid Jiy
people living in municipalities.-
Judge Day said. "This method of
tnxatlon will evenly distribute the
burden of maintaining the school and
nubstantlallv relieve the tax load of
the property owner.
Following Mr. Day's pertinent re
marks, members of the Be- ry club
eneaged In a general discussion un
der hts leadership.
Before the taxation session. Rev
W. R. Baird contributed to an In
teresting program with an amusing
reading. A general "song fesf was
also featured for the first meeting
of 1934 under the direction of Ed
Shockley. The feature of this song
period was the duet by George Hunt
and Lee Bishop.
Dave Rosenburg was a guest at
todays Rotary meeting.

Annual Message Solons.
WASHINGTON. Jan. I.
President Roosevelt notified congres
sional leaders today he planned to
deliver his first annual message to
congress tomorrow In person.
This waa disclosed In authoritative
quarters today as congressional lead
ers busily engaged in preparing for
wis convening or congress. It will be
the first time a President has read
his message In person at a Joint ses
sion since the Coolidge administra
tion. Preparations were made for receiv
ing the President, but It was said
that plans were not Xlxed definitely
and no final decision would be an
nounced until noon tomorrow, the
meeting time of congress.
Speaker Ralney was one of the
Democratic leaders at the White
House last night on plans or the
session.
Asked how large the budget wsg
going to be. he smiled and said:
"It la going to be surprisingly
large."
"la It going to be larger than 18,
000.000.000?" he waa asked.
"I won't answer that, because may
be you know." he replied.
Ralney said the President disclosed
last night he had not written his
message to congress yet. He predict
ed It would be a short summary of
the condition of the government and
that few actual recommendation
would be Included.
The President's advisors have urged
him to make but few recommenda
tions now. They have suggested thst
he submit his major proposals to
congress singly in order to expedite
action.
"Everybody Is for a short session.
especially the President," Ralney said.
"What do you mean 'short ses
sion'?"
"Adjournment by May 1," answered
Ralney. "Some of the conferees
seemed to think last night that we
might get out by April 15, but I
rather doubt it."
