POSSE LEAVES FOR Tornadoes, Heavy Rains Strike Wide Region The Weather Foreran : I'nwitlrd with rain to night and Tuesday; no change In temperature. Highest yeiterdar 49 Lowest this morning M im S (By Paul Mallon) (Copyright, 1035, by. Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON. April 8. The con gressional cloak rooms have coined a new phrase "the Roosevelt com promise." The use of the word "Roosevelt" be fore "compro mise" gives It tba same adverse meaning as the word "Bronx" before- "cheer." It implies that you lose your hat, coat, vest and trousers, and alt you have la your face. The phrase has WW"" PAUL MALLON Its root derivation In the congres sional experience with the White House on the new relief bill. There was no secret about the fact that all the restrictions placed on President Roosevelt's proposed expenditure of $4,880,000,000 are merely pretended restrictions which do not restrict htm at all. It ,1s not quite so well known that the specific restriction requir ing Mr. Roosevelt to send the nsmes of his new relief directors to the senst for confirmation Is an even greater Joke. The senate Inserted that restric tion .so It could prevent Interior Secretary Ickes from getting control of sny part of the new relief set up. But the new dealers put their lawyers to work on the wording of the amendment and found It would not affect Mr. Ickes In the small part for which he Is slated. It will affect only those, rellet directors who have not already been confirmed by the senate and who draw pay out of the relief fund Secretary Ickes gets his pay from the Interior department, Admiral Peoples from .the treasitry. Wood from commerce. Only Hopkins gets his pay fom the relief fund. A way probably will be found to keep 'even Hopkins from going through the senate wringer. So all you need to know about the new law is that, after six weeks of compromising, it Is exactly what Mr. Roosevelt wanted. A New York congressman, .has been nosing around Inside the house seeking to upset the leadership. He has not been getting much encour agement. The movement undoubted ly will fall. Absent floor leader. Bankhcad, who has been 111 since the session start ed. Is now In fairly good health. He takes auto rides nearly every afternoon, these fine spring days. House cronies keep him Informed. Their assumption Is that, whenever the house gets Into a tight place, and. the administration needs help, Mr. Bankhead will make a dra matte reappearance on the floor. Even In Mr. Bankhead's absence, the house Democratic leadership has been unexpectedly efficient so far. Heartening word Is circulating among liberal Insiders that Mr. Roosevelt will come to the assist ance of the Wagner labor board bill, if and when his help is needed. This has cheered up the Liberals, but It has not dissipated the doubts of skeptics. A significant scene was freuent- ly repeated at the White House last year. Senator Wagner would come out of a conference with the pres ident every once In a while, and say. In response to questions, that (Continued on Page Pour) ; 4- L PORTLAND. Ore.. April 8.
