The pub lic crack which Mr. Roosevelt deliv ered across the knuckles of Messrs. Ickes and Moffctt was meant to be a lesson Co a lot of other sub bosses In the new deal. If you had lis tened In on the long distance telephone from Warm Springs you would have learned that Mr. Roosev e 1 1 was not particularly excited about the rumor he has been hearing from Washington general similar situation which has arisen Inside the new deal. It happens every time the head man goes away. The bureau chiefs, plan a lot of inspired atories In the newspapers hinting that the presi dent Is going to do this or that thing which they want him to do. The air Is so full of trial balloons that most people are left In a total eclipse as to what to believe and what not to. The results, this trip, were worse than usual, because the bureau boss es had wind of reorganization plans. Each haa the Idea that the proper reorganization would be an enlarge ment of his particular bureau. That la natural. It haa not been disclosed, but at the same time as the Ickes-Moffett spat. Mr. Ickes was caught with his hand on Mr. Wallaces forestry bu reau; For some time Mr. Ickes has looked with Jonging eyes on the for estry service. Agriculture secretary aii asked about the matter recently, and with significant evasion replied: "Mr. Ickes and I are the best of friends." Also, the reliefer, Mr. Hopkins, had his hand In the same housing grab bag with Messrs. Moffett and Ickes. but h got It out before they got caught. Since the teacher corrected the two youngest boys, all the rest have been acting as cherubs. They have all taken their tune from Wallace. They are the best of friends. None feels hurt. They deny ardently that they had their hands in the 'am pot anyway. Just the same It would be wise for the average news reader, the business man and the speculator to keep one eye closed In ' mental reservation while reading much of the Washing ton material these davs. The real decisions will come when the boss returns.

That Is an old scrap which has lately been renewed. A certain eminent carver for the administration would cut the bird up into two parts. One would be ad ministrative and the other Judicial (something like the old Johnson Idea). The administrative end would be given to the commerce depart ment. Any disputes would be tried before the Judicial body, called the national code administration. The federal trade commission would ge nothing. Existing NRA boards would be abolished or at least reorganized tto the new setup. It sounds like a good Idea and there are indications that the gener al theorr la acceptable to Mr. Rlch bertr a well as to commerce depart ment official. No derision has been made.
