WASHINGTON. June 14. The man
who Is now supposed to be President
Roosevelt's main conservative adviser
called at the
White House be
fore the Hyde
JPark trip. He at
tempted to per
suade the presi
dent that the
electrocution o t
- public utility
holding compa
nies was too se
vere. He wanted
them paroled un
der a government
reform school Instead.

PALI. MALLON
A lew minor amendments to the
electrocution section of the Wheeler
Rayburn bill were discussed, but no
specific substitute amendment was
agreed on. However, the adviser went
away with the distinct Impression
that a reform school substitute would
be acceptable to the president.
That word was pasesd around In
side. From It grew Inspired published
prophecies about the New Deal soft
enina the sentence on the utilities
before the senate vote. In addition, it
was the hidden basis on which .ne
fight was made for the Dleterich
amendment In the senate.
The liberal advisers of the president
heard nothing about such a change
of heart; at least, not from the pres
ident. In fact, they went to the ex-
Mtiinc . vtter from him say
ing emphatically he wanted nothing
more than minor enanges in uie cic
... ,,inn plan nr the bill. This
they kept In their pocket until the
final drive began lor me
amendment In the senate.
i Senator Dleterich arose and an
I nounccd. Just before the close, excit
ing vote, that he was "authorized"
to say that the president did not have
In mind the elimination of good hold
ing companies, only bad ones.

president was rcoa y o.u.
Wheeler.
This development Is only one chap
ter In the most sensational Inside
tale of hard legislative fighting that
Washington has heard or will hear
for many a year. Congressional cor-
j , din in be strewn with
cross and double-cross postscripts, not
meaning kisses.
So far, one thing has been estab
lished; namely, what happens when
an irresistible lobbying force meets
an Immovable lobbying object. The
Irresistible force wins by one vote. At
least It did In the senate, where the
liberal lobbyists for the administra
tion defeated the conservative-utility
lobbying agents by that margin on
the Dleterich roll call.
The liberals had a lobbying advan
tage because their No. 1 man. Ben
Cohen, sat on the senate floor as a
government expert assisting Senator
Wheeler. That was excusable because
Mr. Cohen and his associate. Thomas
Corcoran, really wrote the bill. The
public utility people had to work
from the gallery.
A few hours before the roll call,
i irnecre rmhpn and Corcoran be
gan to aense that something was
wrong. Some senators inej u
counted as "safe" were not behaving
properly. Something had to be done
to get their boys back In line.

cepting the senate amendment to the
measure was called up. Representative
Mlchener (R.. Mich.), remarked:
"Unless I am misinformed, only
one rule like this has ever been
brought before the house. This is a
rarlfled type of gag rule."
The Harrison-Borah anti-trust
amendment, said Representative Jen
kins (R., Ohio), "improves the bill."
"We republicans contend," he as
serted, "that the NRA either should
be continued or allowed to die and
not extend In this half-dead shape."
Jenkins added that the "president
will never live long enough to stop
wishing that he could wlthdfaw the
remarks he made about a constitu
tional amendment" replacing NRA
