WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. The
president's NRA message seemed to
hand congress soma primary paints
and tell the legislators to make their
own future pic
ture of the NRA.
That Is what
: congress thinks.
Gleeful legis
lators are actu
ally telling
themselves that
they are going

Important legis

PAUL MALLON
President Roosevelt failed to send up
a diaic of an administration bill be
cause he was moved by all the talk
about congress beco.ulng Just a rub
ber stamp.
If that were true, everyone might
aa well dig In here and prepare to
remain Indefinitely. If congress Is
going to have a fre hand In remak
ing the NRA. It probably will take
years.
There Is no need for any such prep
arations Just yet. riisre are facts be
neath the surface which Indicate that
Mr. Roosevelt has privately arranged
to keep the situation welt In hand.
In about three weeks, you probab
ly will sec Chairman Pat Harrison of
the senate finance commltcec shnke
from his sleeve the draft it an ad
ministration NRA bill. It tmy not
be called that, but that It will be.
Thero are several reasons why It
was Inadvisable for Mr. Roosevelt to
offer a bill now.
Presidential strategists agree it
twould be foolish because of tlio In
Jternal situation In tli,eser.atc, for
one thing. Senators arc all excited,
clamoring for an Investigation of this
or that phase of NRA. They would
surely toar any administration pro
posal to shreds In a moment. . . ,
After the administration gets
through presenting all its facta to
tha senate Investigators, the Internal
situation may clear. The new dealers
may know exactly how far they may
safely go; at least, they can expect
to have a better chance. And all the
time the senators will be thinking
they have written the legislation
themselves.
8o the underlying fact seems to
be that all Mr. Roosevelt really did
in his NRA message was to develop
a new way to make congress take
bad medicine, without knowing It.
The strategy seems to represent a
studied variation rather than an ac
tual change In the White House
method of handling congress. For
which, all may be grateful.
If you think this plan Is slightly
too smart to be true, consider what
has already been done In the matter
of the senate Invest lention of the
NfTA. No more delicate Inside Job was
ever attempted than the one by
whlh the new dealers are trying to
keep the Investigation out of un
srmpathetic hands.
The Inquiry was demanded by Nye
and McCarron. They could hardly be
called new deal leaders. They wanted ,
the Investigation conducted by the j
commerce committee. In charge of j
that committee Is Senator Copeland.j
whom the White House alw has fail
ed In enumerate among Its leaders.
Word was spread among the new
deal faithful that they could not af
ford to let the NRA Investigation fall
Into any such hands. The adminis
tration already had made one mis
take like that when It let Nye con
duct the munitions Investigation,
The first thing it knew Nye was in
vestigating all the democrats in a
most unsympathetic way.
Rather openly, they arranccd to
snd the Investigation to the finance
committee. A stretch of the imagina
tion was needed to believe thnt the
NRA had anything to do with fin
ance. The stretch was accomplished
by the bright Idea that down deep
In NRA somewhere there is some
thing about tariffs, and. of course,
the finance committee handles all
tariff legislation.
put If the Investigation finalh
go thre. It will be rafmably safe
and constrictive. It will moat as
suredly be handled with sympathy.
An added complication marie the
greaMng of the NRA lnvesticatlon
sk:ds even more difficult. It was of
fered bv Senator Borah, who has be-n
the ne deals severest NRA critic.
Borah stimulated a desire within the
senate judiciary conim!

"Then I noticed my oil pressure

Trucks were sent to the dry lake,

VETO A CERTAINTY
Flat Statement Made by
Spokesman of Adminis
tration Some Solons
Suspect Use of 'Big Stick'
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. UPj A
flat statement from Senator Byrnes.
(D., S. C), an admirjstration spokes
man, that the works program of the
94.880,000,000 relief bill "Is dead"
threw senate circles in a turmoil of
speculation late today as to the ulti
mate outcome of the legislation.
Many senators looked upon the
statement as merely a threat -to force
a reversal on the prevailing wage
amendment.
Senator Robinson, the Democratic
leader, and Chairman Glass who la
In charge of the bill returned earlier
to his appropriations committee, .re
fused to say what pi una they had.
Byrnes, who took a leading part
In fighting opposition amendments
In committee and who kept In close
contact with the White House mean
while, told Interviewers after the sen
ate quit for the day:
"The president will veto the bill
with the prevailing wage amendment
In It, but the senate Insisted on put
ting It In. The work program 1
dead."
Even before the senate returned the
bill to committee on Robinson's mo
tion so the 9880,000,000 direct relief
portion could be brought Into the
senate aa a separate bill, Speaker
Byrnes had predicted the" house
would uphold the president In oppo
sition to the prevailing wage amend
ment. Despite the statement by Senator
Byrnes, other senators believed the
committee either would report out
9880,000,000 next week to carry tor
ward direct relief and develop some
thing later on the work phase, or
recommend 91.880,000,000 to continue
the present set-up for a year.
