WASHINGTON. June 13 The .team
of enthusiasm seems to be running
ft bit lower than the country real
ise Inside the
new deal boiler.
The old pressure
e & 1 for high
gauge action Is
not what It once
was. Anyone who
has called on
any dozen of the
stokers In the
last few days can
see the situation.
It Is not en
tirely the su
preme court de
cision which Is
causing the fires
I'AUI. MALLON
to run low, al-
though that undoubtedly played
part. Nor Is It the enthusiastic ac
tivity of the Republican bucket bri
gade, although that also has had a
dampening Influence.
To get the right slant on what
Is happening, you have to go back
a bit. President Roosevelt started re
forming his new deal from within
about six months ago. He moderated
NRA, got Johnson out; reformed the
AAA, got Tugwell out; altered poll
etes and personnel gradually and
mildly. In preparation for a new new
deal.
Now, auddenly. a rush of eco
nomic as well as legal, political
and personal developments appears
to have taken his reformation en
tirely out of hla hands.
Tou can see It best in the AAA.
There the Ions of foreign cotton mar
kets has thrown the AAA program
out of gear. It will have to be re
organized from this standpoint a
well as from the legal standpoint.
At the headquarters of the new
works program, you will find Prank
Walker is 111 as a result of over
i work. He has bwn unable to get the
' thing going. At federal housing,
cliques are contesting with each
other about how to proceed, while
the administrator Is serving only
temporarily. At the securities and
exchange commission, you will get
defensive arguments about the con
stitutionality of their phase. And at
the export-import banking house ot
George Peek, where no business is
being done, you will meet with de
nials that Mr. Peek's activities now
are entirely useless.
To gtv ynn K rough and Inade
quate idea of the situation at NRA:
A number of young men In the com
pliance division of NRA were sitting
around amusing themselves the other
day by firing paper wads at a win
dow across the street. The occupant
of the residence became annoyed,
called the division on the telephone,
aald she wanted to make a com
plaint. NRA'a young men responded:
"Sorry madamc, the NRA Isn't
taking any more complaints."
More Important phases of the same
spirit are evident among the mem
bers of the strong liberal element
of new dealers. They came here
originally full of eagerness for re
form, willing to work long hours, at
ordinary wages, for their various
causes. Now you will hear a number
of them wondering whether it la
worth while talking about getting
outside Jobs.
An out-of-town labor writer, re
turning from a trip, talked to the
most important men In this group

Contracts for the proposed new

Besides the actual coat of con
struction covered In the bids, an
engineer's fee must be .paid, and
the cost of the land on which the
plant Is to be erected must be met.
It la estimated that these two alone
will be in the neighborhood of $10,-
000.

refused to comment on the possl
blllty of the city's asking a new
bond election, and also refused to
state whether new specifications and
the resultant second bidding would
be asked. A statement will be made
by the city council within the next
few days, it was learned.

Taking advantage of the Invitation
accorded him to addresa the Oregon
State Grange In Its annual meeting
here. Governor Charlca H. Martin this

regards Oregon agriculture and Its

occasion to again rebuke those who
question his attitude toward farmers
and farm problems.
"Unfortunately.' said the governor,
in expressing his appreciation of the
Invitation extended him, "there have
been misunderstandings as to meth
ods and procedure In attaining the
oblectlvea we all desire."
"In my Interest In agriculture and
agrlculturtate, I feel In my own heart

Interests of .the people at large and

and will continue to welcome counsel
and advice from those capable of giv

alms of American labor to Improve
the standards of living among our
large consuming population,'' Gover

The NRA resolution aa approved

Extend a vastly -reduced NRA

Eliminate all compulsory codes.
Permit business men to make
agreements governing collective

WASHINGTON. June 13. (AP)
Final congressional approval of the
NRA extension resolution by tomor
row night was Indicated today when
President Roosevelt told house lead
ers he was willing to accept the
measure, passed earlier In the day by
the senate after crushing a 15 V6 hour
filibuster by Senator Long (D., La.)
At a White House conference with
house leaders, the president said he
also would accept the Borah amend
ment to tighten enforcement of anti
trust laws.
Just before the conference, Chair
man O'Connor of the rulea commit
tee, commenting on the senate ad
dition of the Borah amendment,
said:
"To hell with them. If their
amendment la what I understand It
to be, the house wouldn't stand for
It and I shall fight It."
Long Gives Up
The senate adopted the NRA reso
lution extending an abbreviated NRA
until next April 1 at 6:10 a. m.. some
senate leaders expressed opinion that
Long, white faced and weary, had giv
en up at 4 a. m., leaving Senators
Schall (R.. Minn.), and McCarrln (D..
Nev.) to carry on. They emphasized
he waa not refused recognition later
by the chair, but Juat "gave up."
The final vote on passage was 41
to 13.
Since parliamentarians said It
would take unanimous consent to get
house approval of the senate measure
today, the schedule was to bring In
a special resolution tomorrow making
It in order to accept the senate reso
lution. Time Is Essence

The text of his address, In part,
follows:
"Whether affects agriculture In
Oreaon affects Oregon." the governor
said. "To build agriculture Is to
build Oregon as a whole, and to do
this, education, organisation, wise
planning and competent leadership
are necessities. I am proceeding on
the theory that matters of state pol
icy, whether In agriculture or other
field. Is best settled on the basis of
actual facts obtained from those of
our own people who know more about
them.
"Fortunately, In Oregon we face Im
portant steps with strong and experi
enced farm organizations assisting,
through which the needs and aspira
tions of the different branches of the
state's agriculture are so successfully
expressed . Among those organ iza
tlona. of course, one thinks of the
Grange, which la the largest farm
organization In this state and the
oldest one In the nation.
"It is worth while to consider that
your own organization, which has
been carrying on work In nearly every
community, was founded on principles
whose objectives are closely linked
with present-day needs right here in
Oregon. The original declaration of
purpose as adopted by the national
body the same year that the first
Orange was organlred In Oregon In

tody, and why the "G-men" kept up
the fiction of not knowing that they
had secretly Incarcerated the Walcya

He also referred all questions to

man laughed and said "She's still

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.,
June 12. Well, I got a kick
out of that bunch of unemploy
ed old-timers who call them
selves the "Grass Root Boys."
They just met and "denounc
ed" and "re-denounced." Give
a prize to the fellow that call
ed the president the most
names, but they all do it.
When Mr. Hoover was in
why the other side did the ,
same thing. In fact, I think it'
the same names they called :
him, for neither has ever been
original enough to think of
new ones. That's what makes
politics such a high class gen
tleman's game.
Prizefighters meet and fight
and then are called lowbrows
for saying, "Well, the bcRt man
won." Tours, ,
tilt.
