WASHINGTON, March 8. There
wag no very deep Borrow evident
around the Whit House after the
president's de
valuation hint
wan given such a
confused 1 n 1 1 a
tionary lnterpre
. tatlon.
Indeed, many
skeptical ob
servers siupected
the hint was
dropped espec
ially to get such
a reaction.
The British
have been play
ing roonkeysUlnes
with the pound.
PAUL MALLON
Immediately after
Jfcie supreme court gold clause de
cision, they withdrew some of their
stabilization props and let the pound
slide. The best authorities here have
been fearing it might go as low as
4.10.
Mr. Morgrnthau's stabilization boys
have been trying to protect the dol
lar, but tt is no secret that they
are babes In the internstional ex
change woods, especially In compan
ion with the British.
Furthermore, the stock market was
sliding, and the vague Inflationary
hint from the White House helped
to offset that temporarily.
If president Roosevelt wa not
merely talking for favorable effect,
he managed to get It anyway.
What happened at the hint-dropping
was Uila:
A news reporter attending the'
regular press conference asked If Mr.
Tloosevelt was satisfied with the com
modity price level. The president re
plied he was not and also that he
was not satisfied that the burden of
!ebt had yet been equalized (de
valued). This could only mean that he
thought a further devaluation of the
dollar would have to be made some
time. He waa asked directly about
devaluation and laughed himself out
of answering by suggesting that was
something else again. '
His best monetary advisers have
been against further devaluation.
They believe It would only be an
academic gesture which would not
' effect anything.
The speech you should have heard
on Huey Long Is the one aupposed
to have been delivered over a tele
phone by the leading occupant of
the White House In a talk with a
senator.
If It had not been a private gov
ernment wire, the chief operator
might have been plugged tn to do
a little censoring.
Close friends of Democratic Floor
lesder Robinson are hinting that It
was he who called Mr. Roosevelt be
i fore he laid the lash on Huey In
the senate. According to them, his
lash-laytng was a modified version of
the president's view.
This Is only additional evidence
that the campaign acaint Huey Is
rot Hugh Johnson's. Senator Robin
son's or even General Farley'a. but
someone whom all three represent.
Huey has only one adviser a sena
tor near him whom he trusts. After
the Robinson lashing, this wise sen
ator privately advised Huey he had
better lie low for a while until the
wind blows down.
This Is why the whirling dervish
from Louisiana Immediately cut his
momentum 50 per cent.
Meanwhile certain other senators
were cettlng ready to show at the
first opportunity that they arc not
afraid of Huey. inciuaea in me
-igroup were Bailey of North Carolina
i who asked for the privilege or pre
sentlng the Farley report throwing
Huey down). Cleorgc o! Georgia and
Locan of Kentucky.
Old-timers pined for ex-Senator
,Ttm Reed, whose strident tongue
has speared many a dervish as fast
as Huey.
you may writ It down In your
notebook that Senator Wheeler, the
Montana progressive Democrat, will
not be a vice-presidential candidate
with Huey. He hss remslned silent
In the fare of stories thst he would,
probably because he likes Huey. His
avoclate know, however, that he
believes his future lies In other
directions.
There was more behind the Swan-a-n-McCarl
tiff than n academic
misunderstandinc? between govern
ment officials.
The right slant on that affair may
be gleaned from the fact that At

House Passes Buck to Sen
ate On Major Measures
Theaters to Ask Public
Hearing Amusement Tax
By CLAVTOS V. RF.RNHARD
Associated Press Slaff Writer
SALEM. Ore., March 8 (AP) Con
tinued favorable report on contro
versial measures which place them
on calendars, and the passing of ma
jor Issues by the house for the senate
to adjust into acceptable form, will
result In delayed sine die adjourn
ment until next week, observers de
clared aa they watched the senate
and house of the Oregon legislature
tn action today.
Emphasis to the view that adjourn
ment by Saturday night was Impos
sible waa given when the house, for
Instance, brought out of committee
the 10 per cent amusement tax as
the senate killed the a per cent sur
tax on Incomes. Theater men report
ed they would request a public hear
Ing on the amuseiue.nu tax.
House Paws Beer Tax
The house furtlier "passed the
buck" to the senate when with but
little argument It passed the beer
tax Issue, increasing the tax on beer
from 63 rente to 1.30 a barrel
Amendments and possible defeat were
left to the upper house, which now
waa being stacked with Just that
tVDe of legislation.
Late yeaterday the house passed
the controversial truck and bus bill
to the senate with the same admis
sion "that the senate can make the
corrections." The senate likewise has
the Ickes-Orange power bill which
will come before It out of Its com
mittee with many amendments.
Because of absence of many mem
bers excused from committee work,
the house failed to pass the measure
asking lor creation, of county plan
ning boarda to work with the state
planning commission. The bill was
an administration measure, and re
consideration was anticipated, an
other step which adds to the confu
sion in the closing daya of the 38th
nssembly.
More Bins come tn.
Consideration of conference com
mittee reports and action on amend
ments made after a bill had passed
one house, today consumed much of
the time of both senate and house.
Divided committee report preceded
the action on the calendar. And
still new bill were being Introduced.

7. The U. S. senate may not be
tho most refined and delibera
tive body in existence, but they
jiot the most uni'liie rules. Any
member enn call anybody in
tlie world anything he can
t mnk of and they can't answer
him, sue him or fitfht him. Our
constitution protests aliens,
drunks and U. S. senators.
There oii(?ht to be one day a
year (just one) when there is
an open season on senators.
Yours,
WILIi ROGKRS.
P. S.: lluev, you better lay
off .Joe Robinson. That's lika
