By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 7. The
stiver choir In congress still main
tains a public appearance of harmony
but a phonetic ear can detect many
aour notes.
The Inside reason la that the boya
are spending so

they do not mind
i their music.
At heart these
I sllverltea are all

'Each thinks he
I knows as much
or more than the
leader, and each
wants to sing
1 hla own song.
Paul Mallon
The result is
bad stiver music,
but it Is sweet to President Roose
velt's ears.
The sour undertones were first no
ticeable backstage several montha
ago when Senator Key Plttman. was
supposed to be the silver leader.
Pittman ranked high at the White
House. In fact, too high to please
the sllverltea. They kept the matter
to themselves, but organized a move
ment designed to take the silver ba
ton away from Plttman.
Senators Thomas and Wheeler then
became the silver leaders unofficial
ly, and they still are To keep peace
in the choir, however, they went thru
the motions of choosing Senator
King as the official leader. He was
supposed to be a peacemaker.
The peace he brought was only
temporary.
Within the last few days all the
boys have been eying each other with
suspicions again that there are some
backsliders In their midst who may
be slipping Into the White House by
the side door '
The boya are all democrats, so they
may not fall out openly. Yet the un
derlying situation Is Important be
cause it Illustrates the fact that no
two people think exactly alike onthe
silver question, or even on inflation.
The recent threat of a silver fili
buster waa largely Huey Long's idea.
Continuous and purposeless talking
comes easy for Huey, but most of the
others thought that method of fight
ing Mr. Roosevelt would be going a
little too far. They could not see that
It would accomplish anything, out
side of giving Long an opportunity to
speak indefinitely.
The filibuster threat was really a
confession of weakness. If the boya
had the votes they would not be
talking that way.
The wiser heads among them have
realized for some time that they can
not get any more than Mr. Roosevelt
intends to give them.
The Wiilte House apparently took
delight in tipping off privately the
Identity of those on the lists of silver
speculators. .
The list contained so many dummy
names that thoe.e who inspected
them at the senate could not identi
fy most of the silver buyers. An un
derground channel from the execu
tive mansion brought suggestions as
to where certain names could be
found and Identified properly.
One slip occurred. In exuberance
the tip was passed along that Frank
Vanderlip Jr. was on the list.
But hla name could not be found
that day. The tip came a day too
soon. Kls name was on the list sub-t
mittcd to the senate the following
day.
The purpose behind the new Glass
bill provision allowing the federal re
serve board to build a building for
ltwlf is to get It out of the treasury
department.
Senator Glass has long been Irked
by the fact that the treasury depart
ment dominated the federal reserve.
If 'T.n
En J
II:. 1
' Some members of the board feel that
way about It also and will be glad to
gri Oil W biieiIlOCITTD.
This is the only new government
building which will not come out of
the PWA grab bag. Glass has pro
vided that the board levy upon mem
ber banks for the money to build.
Professor Tugwell's pals have an
Idea, that Mr. Roosevelt put him on
tha spot by nomtnallng him as assis
tant afiirulture secretary.
Mr. Roosevelt Intended It as a com
pliment, but did not plan It to meet
the current situation. Months ago
the Job of assistant secretary was cre
ated In the agriculture department
appropriation bill especially for Tug
well. Tugwell's campaign to clear him
self of radicalism charges by making
speeches and writing magazine arti
cles will not stop the field day plan
ned by republicans when his nomi
nation comes up Tor senate debate.
Alter that the n?y! will approve
the nomination.

his bills, so they really bear his
