Those black crepes they wore so long In mourning for new deal defl clencles have lately been dis carded. The best drefcsed Industri alist, you may have noticed, Is -now setting a more cheerful tyle. It started about three weeks be fore" election. At that time the bellwether boys sent word down the Hue advis ing a leas critical attitude toward the new deal. The leadership la sup posed to have been undertaken by the Intelligently directed Natlonttl Association of Manufacturers. At least the handouts from that Influ ential group lately have assumed a new co-operative tone. Everyone knows the bankers fell In line, but few noticed that the busi ness, news dispensers have also. A month ago the latter group was tell ing the business world President Roosevelt was a destroyer of the con stitution. Today he Is Its sole de fender. In their opinion. Prom a strictly business standpoint everyone here considers that the change of style Is the best thing that could have happened for business. The contributing reason for the change is more important and less obvious than the election. It had Its deep roots In the glowing feellns that money could be made In busi ness today If more men would go outand try to do It Instead of sitting down and yelling for help. They began to realize that they could'make V , more money by accepting conditions and trying to run their business profitably In the light of exlstlne conditions Instead of devoting them selves to fighting against something they could not change anyway. The boys In Wall street caught onto that first. They fought against regulation, but when they were licked they started trying to make money under regulation by co-operation rather than by gloomy resistance. That does not mean that Industrial ists, the financiers and the bankers are for the new deal, or that they will stand It any longer than they have to. The December radio talk by Mr. Roosevelt will contain those new ideas he has been secretly cooking up in his conferences with business men and budgetary officials. He has about cleaned up the business conferences. Lately he got down to some small fry whose namca did not appear In the papers, and need not have. The hint has been dropped that he will break the budget and relief plans in the ra dio speech. -Tills will be more en couraging news than business has been expecting on that subject. Probably Included will be plans for elf-help baed on farm homestead lng. a conservative five-year bulldlnt: program, work relief, a promised end of the dole, and posslblo a flotation of recovery bonds In mall denomina tions. The other plans for aiding tne heavy Industries, railroad reorganiza tion, NRA, AAA, etc., may await his message to congress, which has been In the process of formulation for sev eral weeks. The new dealers are already day dreaming about 1936. The way they figure It out, Mr. Roosevelt cannot lose. Their Idea Is to get to work early or. Malno. They want to run their popular Deinocartlc governor Brai.n gainst Republican Senator White. If Braun defeats White. Ihey would steal th old Inaccurate tteptibllcan slo gan. "As Maine goes, so goes the ua 1 tlon." Another good talking point they are preparing ll the one that the senate Is lertaln to be Democratic after 103G. Not enough senators are up for re e'.ectlon lu '3S to deprive the Democrat e'. control. They on W.I ll-.i country that the election of a Republican president would only bo'.eh thliics up. TVtt those are merely extraneous Tlaions. The real one Is based on the po's'-blllties of establishing a Roose ve.t liemocra'.te dynaity as self-per-peua:lng a the old Republican ma-c;-.:of. Trie 13tr.ocrta now have con trol of t-aitonac- down to the dog ralcVr In most atv-cs. In two years they can mike every rural free de liveryman Into a vote deliverer.

( AP ) The Home Owners' Loan corporation announced today consideration of ad ditional applications for loans will be suspended until further notice because of the fear that funds might be exhausted.

( AP) The Roosevelt administration Is seeking to mass the resources of government behind a power offensive that may lead to an historic fight before congress.
