(Copyright, 1934, by raul Mallon)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2. In two
years President Roosevelt has quietly
developed a very shrewd technique lor
handling
congress. It la
something like
the one Aunt Sa
th u a o d on
Peek's Bad Boy,
taping him ln
the home to re
move htm from
temptation.
The president
3 has already
started using It
Again on the new
congressional ses
i alon. You could
I free the delicate
I'aul MalJuo
j 4 Whlta House touch behind two re-
y legislation and munitions.
Via the first place, Chairman Pat
spent Issued a call early in No
Medforor his senate finance corn
meet here after Thanksgiv
Rmn stnke up unemployment in
11 fists t The meeting has not been
A mo
Year'sason publicly offered la that
Ram'Ort of Mr. Roosevelt's cabi
nea;mmlttee was not, ready ln time.
Wf is true, but if you dig into
you will find that the cabinet
ommittec has not tried to break
any cd records ln preparing Its rc
& port. Obviously, Mr. Roosevelt does
1 not let congress play with that dan
gerous issue, or any other, until he
la ready.
The president will hand out a lot
of general, unspecific orders In his
opening message, to be delivered in
a few days, but he will reserve spe
cific recommendations on the lm
apecific playthings, lie will feed out
one by one. Thus, attention and
pressure will be centered on tnem.
' f with them, chnnuine them or tirlnp
of tnem.
Thus, also, Mr. Roosevelt will al
ways be in control of the legislative
program. Ho will control what Is
to be considered ln congress by sub
mitting only what he wants consid
ered from time to time.
A variation of that device was used
by the White House In the muni
tions matter. In that case. Mr.
Roosevelt seized the brightest politi
cal toy of many a year right out of
the hands of Chairman Nye of the
senate munitions committee. As Nye
was shaping It up, the issue would
have been public operation of mu
nitions manufacturing.
Mr. Roosevelt had other plans. He
practically filed Mr. Nye's issue in
the store room when he advanced
the substitute proposal to limit the
war profits of munitions makers.
By such tactics, Mr. Roosevelt has
been able to make himself the master
of congress more effectively than any
president before.
The congressmen do not like It
any more than young reck did. but
there Is little they can do about it.
except grumble to thrmselvrs, and
they are doing that.
The main difficulty ts that con
siderable confusion is caused at times,
and occasionally the congressional
leaders look irdicutous.
Newsmen wanrterlns through the
corridors of the house and senate of
fice hutldincs during the last few
days have faced a reversal of the
usual newspaper processes. Instead
of Interviewing congressmen, the con
gressmen have been Inten lewing them
for news.
r The congressmen right now do not
know any more nhout wivjt they are
going to do this session than you do.
If you have rrnd the pipers dally.
That situation is experrrd to con
tinue throueh this session, ns it did
last session. Most of t:.e reporters
are making arrangemen' to corer
. congress mainly from the White 1
House, as usual. j
There waa considerable private crit
icism among senate Den ocrata be
cause their floor leader. Srrator Rob
inson, remained at home In Arkan
sas so long. He knew rvt.at he was
doing.
It Is customary for the leadership
to assemba here abot'.t two weeks be
fore the session oens. In order to
lay plans for It. This year. Senator
Robinson came on the scet-. only a
couple of days before the opening
a-ong.
If he had been here a mvith ago
thera is nothing he could hsve done
except to find chairs In c-nmlttee
