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.

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

hours.
No men will be dismissed from
projects, the committee was glad to
announce, tnc economy having been I

to divide what money there Is avail

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,

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.

Virginian Hurls Monkey
Wrench While Roosevelt
Urges Fast Congressional
Action On Legislation
By CI.AKKNC'K M. 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.
