JANUARY 19, 1934. No. 23G. LM OTBEREB D Ail By PAUL MAI. LOS ' (Copyright, 1934. by PaulMallon.) Lawyers. WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. There was enough background to fill Culebra Cut behind Mr. Rosevelfa suggestion, that Democratic party official should ( NOT practice law before government departments. That situation has been piling up quietly and annoying him from the start. . On Inauguration day. the Repub lican lawyers decamped and, trie Dem ocratic lawyers started pouring Into town. This Is in accord with the ancient tradition that a client needs a Republican lawyer to get anything out of a Republican administration, and a Democratic lawyer to handle Democratic administrations. No one would have complained about continuance of the tradition under the New Deal, except that one or two 'of the Incoming horde went about their business with such, avid ity that they managed to get them selves talked about. And there were many surprising stories regarding their practices and retainers. Most of the gossip was far fetched, but It -.was all unpleasant and Increasingly embarrassing to the great bulk of legitimate practicing Democratic at torneys in Washington, as well as to the White House. Games. The few political ambulance chas ers were hangers-on In the Roose velt movement and It has been a deep personal problem at the White House as to how to get rid of them. The man who Is supposed to have forced the matter to the fore recently la Interior Secretary Ickes. He was ably abetted on the side by i rcasurj Secretary Morgcnthau. Ickes' friends say he has had a great deal of trouble with this class of attorneys on public works mat ters. He Is supposed to have laid certain evidence before the President. Morgenthau is said to have encoun tered the attorney on eait refunds. It 1 an old game. The poor client paya high because he thlnka his at torney has Influence on the Inside when the Influence rarely exists. If It does exist the case Is exceedingly difficult to detect: because the at torneys never try j deal with the topmost officials. Incidents. One of the crowd had the audacity to lobby on the Inside against Mr. Roosevelt's securities bill while he still held a position In the Demo cratic party organization. Another conceived the unusual Idea of conducting his so-called legal of fice In an apartment hotel Instead of In an office building. Their activities got to be so widely known In the Inner circle that a cer tain nationally known magailne ar ranged to write a story about the matter within the last few days. It will be out shortly, unless the pub Ushers decide it Is libelous. The comment from the adminis tration probably will break up the game, and preserve the legitimate legal business hero for legitimate at torneys. One such legitimate attorney wisely resigned his official position In the partv some months aco before he put out his shingle here, which places him entirely In the clear. That la probably what the rest will have to do now. Motives. Another thing which contributed to Mr. Roosevelt's hasty Inaugura tion of a new money policy was the condition of the dollar In Interna tional exchange. tt was colng up. The RFC had Just bought heavily of gold abroad in an eflort to force Its value down. The heavy buying failed to bring de sired results. It was quit obvious that a large equalization fund was needed to manage the dollar. Oold price buying appeared to be almost whollv Ineffective. But the budget was already top heavy. Mr. Roosevelt could not jo out and ask congress for an appro priation of two billions more for an equalisation rund. So he worked out the scheme of getting the two billions by devaluing the dollar 40 per cent at once and taking the profit. Some insiders say this point was more Influential In forcing the Presi dent to act tusn was the pressure in the Federal Reserve banlksrs who wanted the mon-y matter cleared up. This is a matter of opinion. It was probably six of on and a half a dozen of the other. Variety. The first three specialists In the house committee money show differ ed as follows: Prof. Sprague ssld: "It Is my Judg ment that such-and-such is the case for these reasons." rrank Vanderllp said: "Such sod auch la the case, as I see It." Father Coughlln said: "Gentle men. 1 tell you thla Is so" fiprajue is qualified expert, but recognires our Imperfect knowledge of the money problem. Vanderllp has been a financier and recognlres the dlfflculf.es. Coughlln started off by saying he was only a simple p.-iest who knew nothing about the tech nical :de cf t:ie money question and then proceeded, to explain It. xCoauauea on ?. HOURS OF WORK ARE REDUCED AS FUNDS DWINDLE Orders From Washington Curtail Local Plans 24 Hours Maximum in Cities 15 Hours in Rural Areas On direct Instructions from Wash ington, D. C, today,' through the state Civil Works administration, hours of work on all CWA projects In this county were reduced by the j local administration. It was announc ed this afternoon. No projects, howe ver, were cancelled under the order, and all will con tinue under the new basis, which provides that In rural communities and towns of less than 3500 popula tion 15 hours a week shall be the maximum of work for any one man. In towns of 2500 or more population the maximum number of. hours per week per man la set at 24 hours. On service projects and In clerical work the maximum Is placed at 30 hours. Money Dwindling The committee was of the belief today that the action was necessi tated by Insufficient funds to carry the work on to the required time on the original basis, and that the order would be In effect until action la taken by congress to appropriate ad ditional funds to CWA work. All purchases of materials for CWA projects will be discontinued Rlong with the decrease in working hours. No men will be dismissed from projects, the committee was glad to announce, tnc economy having been I accomplished In such a manner as to divide what money there Is avail able among all the men hired by. the OWA. Hope for Airport City officials announced today' In regard to anticipated additional work on the Medford airport, that efforts were still being directed toward that goal. And in response to announce ments from Ashland that an allot ment of 78 000 for airport Installa tion was expected there, stated that there was a need for a small auxil iary field at Ashland, but that the expenditure of the amount of money asked would necessitate a great fut ure expenditure for the neighboring city, which would hardly be Justified with the Medford field but 12 miles distant. Upkeep of the Medford field has cost this city since opening of the airport 5S.442, which amount was raised in the yearly budgets. Such a load la' a heavy one for taxpayers, Ashland would find, city Superin tendent Fred Schcffel pointed out. and one which can only be Justified by much use of the port. The In itial cost of the Medford airport was S125.000. thla amount being exclusive of the 25,000 spent by the Individ ual oil companies at the field.

WRIUIIT. Associated Press Staff Writer. WASHINGTON, , Jan. 19. (AP) A challenge of the conatltutlonaltty of the Roosevelt devaluation bill waa given to the senate today by Carter Glass (D., Va.) as the administration speeded efforts to obtain enactment of the legislation by Tuesday. The outspoken Virginian, who was secretary of the treasury In the Wil son administration and rejected the name position with Roosevelt, asserted that Attorney General Cummlngs In . upholding the measure's constitution- allty had omitted supreme court de cisions pertinent to the question. Passage Imperative. The administration gave the word that passage of the measure by Tues day was "imperative" because of re financing operations to be under taken aoon. After conferring with President Roosevelt and Secretary Morgenthau, Chairman Somers of the house coin age committee told newspapermen that some amendments were under consideration and left no doubt that one was to ease the requirements on public reports of the operation of the proposed 12,000,000,000 stabilisation fund. , Too Many Reports. . . "Too many reports to congress." be said, "might defeat our purpose." Increasing fluctuation In the dol lar on the foreign exchange was an other reason for administration haste to get the gold control law Into opera tion. Glass, In a memorandum placed In the congressional record, cited two supreme court decisions which he aald held that the fixing of compensation for property seized by the govern ment la a Judicial and not a legisla tive function. Pointing out that though the bill Is being considered In "secret execu tive session" of the senate banking committee. Cummlngs' opinion up holding the constitutionality of seis ing tht federal reserve gold had been made public, Glass said he wanted to place in the record some state ments bearing on the question "which the attorney, I suppose, Inadvertently, omitted." . Case U Cited. He said Cummlngs had referred to the case of the Monangahela Naviga tion company against the United States, but had omitted a "very vital" part of the supreme court's decision holding that congress could decide what property might be taken by the government, but 'not the compensa tion. Olsss read from the decision a state ment that "the legislature may de termine what private property is needed" by the government, "but when the taking has been ordered then the amount of compensation la a Judicial function and no power exists In any other department of the government to declare what the compensation shall be." The house agreed to meet at 11:00 o'clock tomorrow an hour earlier than usual, to hasten passage of the bill.
