Aug. 30. Don't mention It out loud, but about a dozen congressmen took a trip down nheflnneak b a V last week - end and gave vent to their feelings. What they said about the new deal would not be lit to print In the Congres sional record, or anywhere else. . Speaker Byrns was one of the group. His re marks will never appear In print hut ahmilri. PAUL MALLO.N President Roosevelt tilted his cig arette to a 45-degree angle when he signed the holding company bill, and said: "This Is the fattest bill I ier signed." None of the admiring congres lonal group aald anything out loud, but one who hd his fingers crossed observed to himself that the measure was fatter than the presi dent knew. The background on the soviet dif ficulty Is this: Mr. Roosevelt would have been very glad to get out of Soviet recognition anyii the route. Fundamentally he would like to displease the Russians. He is angry because they failed to meet his good neighbor policy. But there are limits to whut presi dents can do. The stock market has been going down, some observers aay. on the rumor that Chairman Kennedy of the SEC might quit. Mr. Kennedy wants to. He would have retired months ago if he could have eased himself out of his existing predica ment (commonly called a Job.) Lately hia friends in Wall street have been telling him that he la out of place, that he should retire. Then ha. been no pressure from the top to keep him. but he will be keHis administration Is the only one which la free from complaint. Tha Democrats on Capitol Hill believe Mr. Roosevelt Is the smartest president they have ever seen. Even the failure of the deficiency bm is considered by them a victory. Floor Leader Robinson encouraged, through hla friends, a filibuster conducted by Senator Long. The admlnlatratlon had nothing to lose. It will find funda to con duct the affaire provided by the bill, and will have the added ad vantage of letting Long assume ma jor responsibilities. The president changes his mlno every fifteen seconds about the west .... i.m hi lntest Idea la to call off the return v.slt through the Panama canal ana come dik. uui u p. ri tic northwest. He win change hta mind again before the ultimate decision. The president misses Louis Howe. Formerly the president's watchman aat In the corner at all presidential conferences, and told the president whom to believe. Howe has not been around during the last six months, and the president suffers as a con sequence. The published figure on the pub lic debt is S29.000.000.000. but It really about $50,000,000,000, Senator Olass has figured out. The obliga tion of 810,000,000, assumed by the government from this session ol congress, coupled with the opera tions of the Home Owners' Loan corporation Bnd various other com mitments, expands the obligation of the government beyond published dimensions. 1 SIDE GLANCES by TRIBUNE REPORTERS Medford residents looking about be wtlderdly as 39 cars of passenger train went by In two directions, all at once, this morning.

Although Howard was the first to arrive here at the scene of the na tional air races, there was no indi cation whether he would win the $10,000 air classic He arrived during a drilling rain that was threatening to force postponement of today's gen eral program. Hia time was 13 minutes slower than the record set In 1932 by Jamea O. Halzllp.

HELD MAIN ISSUES Creel, In Luncheon Talk, Favoi-s 'New Order' and Social Security As Basis National Life. SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 30. (APt- Ceorge Creel told the Commonwealth club today the crux of political dis cussions now la whether "recovery shall go It alone, or be accompanied by reform." The writer asserted in a luncheon address: "One school of political economic thought believes a return to prosper ity la all that we should hope tor and work for. that thla pious aim meets every possible human need and aspl ration." Another school, he said, Insists on making such social and economic j changes aa will not only restore pros- i perlty but "build our national life on a rock against which tno wind ana rain and flood shall not prevail." The conservatives, Creel declared, "hold that the old order Is still usable for another century or so. . . . they still see nothing radically wrong in the system that went to smash In 1D29. "The progressives, on the other hand, hold that what we witnessed In 1U20 waa the end of an era, and that what we must have la a brand new order. Quite frankly, I am a member of that peculiar sect." Business abuses. Creel argued, were held In check up to about 1840 by public opinion, which waa effective against small firms. Then corporate owneranip arose, eliminating the close relation between labor and management, while science and Invention threw thousands, then millions, out of work. These condi tions. Creel reasoned, make tt neces sary to scrap the traditional point of view. "The government that cannot care for Its old and lta sick; that cannot provide work for the strong; that feeds Its young Into the hoppers of Industry; and that leta the btack ahadow of Insecurity rest on every home, la not a government that can endure or should endure." About changing the constitution, Creel said: "The great men of the paat had no doubt that the constitution was meant to be a living thing, and not a dead hand, and In a time of crisis they acted In accord with the needa of that crisis. "Where was there warrant In the constitution for the Louisiana pur chase? Or for the purchase of Flor ida. Alaska and the Oregon and Utah territories; or for the Monroe Doc trine ... or for the annexation of Texas and Hawaii? Or for the emanci pation proclamation? "Coming down to the present, where Is there specific warrant in the constitution for the federal emergency relief administration, the public works administration ... or for the millions loaned to banks, railroads, corporations and life Insurance com panies by the R.
