(Copyright. 1935, by Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON, April 34. A lot of
food Democratic congressmen are
secretly pulling for Huey in his hair
raising frca
with PWA Direc
tor Ickes. They
would never en
ter Into It pub
licly, but the
fact Is some of
their eta tea have
suffered many
similar troubles
with the dis
penser of federal
largess. It la a
case of misery
appreciating even
such bad com
. pany as Huev.
PAUL MALL ON
Any closer observer could see they
rather enjoyed seeing Huey yank at
the wispy locks of Mr. Ickes. A cou
ple of them came up to him later
and told him so. They did not know
or care much about the facta in the
case. Nor did they like the Idea of
dragging in President Roosevelt's
name. Privately they felt Huey was
leading himself Into forensic excesses
which may ruin his case. Vet anyone
attacking Mr. Ickes might be consid
ered In a sense as their friend.
Thus, for the first time In his life
or thelTs. Huey found himself being
patted on the back In the cloakrooms
by soma of his enemies.
- The administration Is going to some
length to svold appearances of Inter
ference with the states. If you ask
about what happened to all the bills
they sent out for the state leglsla
tures to pass, the new dealers will
shift you from department to depart
ment without an answer. It la an
indisputable fact, however, that
twenty-one state legislatures have
now adjourned without enacting
many' of-the bills suggested by the
PWA. FHA. NRA, FERA, PDIC and
PDA. liven the new dealers admit
that the number of state legislatures
which have fallen In line Is "wry
mall." Indeed, there appears to be
good ground for suspecting that the
legislatures generally sulked in silent
rebellion against most of the state
legislation sent to them from Wash
ington. The PWA prepared as many aa
100 bills for all the state legislatures.
The most received by any one state
was twenty and the lowest waa six.
The bills vary In each state due to
local laws. Their general objective
Is to remove limitations on powers
ef states and localities to borrow
money, issue bonds and engage in
public works.
The failure of the legislatures leave
the PWA In an acute situation. PWA
era say It would not be accurate
say that a state failing to coop
erate would be denied PWA funds.
Yet It is fairly well understood hero j
and elsewhere that the states and j
governors who play ball will receive
"a better opportunity" for consider-
stion In Washington.
Of course, you understand the,iew
dealers all Insist this is not coercion.
Beth Mr. Ickes and Secretary Per
kins (in connection with social se
curity legislation) say they, sent out
the bills mostly on request and are
not checking on what happened to
them.
In the case of the PHA, however.
Mr. Roosevelt has publicly requested
governors to push the laws through.
He has succeeded so far in thlrty
seen states.

ONE OF LARGEST
GRAIN HOUSES ON
L
Rosenbaum Corporation's
Smash Brings Legal Prob
lems for Chicago Board
of Trade Wheat Falls
CHICAGO. April 24 (API The
Chicago board of trade, world's larg
est grain market.' was closed today by
Its directors until tomorrow, as an
aftermath of a petition filed by the
Rosenbaum Grain corporation for re
organization under the federal bank
ruptcy act.
Opening of trading waa postponed
by directors just before the starting
gong waa to have been sounded "un
til a time to be designated by the
directors pending classification of le
gal problems" arising from the action
; of the Rosenbaum corporation, one of
the largest grain houses In the na
tion. Restrain .Suspension
Pederal Judge W. H. Holly, before
whom the grain company sought re
organization in a petition yesterday,
refused to modify an Injunction re
straining tne board of trade from
suspending the Rosenbaum corpora
tion from membership privileges.
Minneapolis and Winnipeg were the
only other major North American
makets open. Wheat prices at Min
neapolis dropped more than a cent.
while Winnipeg quotations also were
off about a cent.
Halting trading apparently was an
emergency action to protect the mar
ket from any operation that might
arise In the situation. Wheat broke
3 cents Just before the close yester
day. The filing of the reorganization
petition had not become known until
after the close.
Halt Firm's Trading
Seeking lo have the Injunction dis
solved, attorney for the board met
with attorneys of the Rosenbaum
corporation In Judge Holly's cham
bers. - It was mutually agreed that
all trades of the grain firm would be
closed out as of today and no further
trading will be done by the firm until
the reorganization is finally affected.
Meanwhile, there waa no activity in
the grain pits. Brokers milled about
the floor discussing the situation. At
torney said it was the first time on
record that the board of trade has
been enjoined from exercising its au
thority under rules of the exchange
governing bankruptcy on the part of
members.
