By Paul Mallon
(Copyright. 1936. by Paul Mallon.)
WASHINGTON. Jan. aa. A few re
maining conservative near the top
of the new deal are displeased. As
--'ley see It, the president ha turned
p during ine mat au
a days. They co ri
fe mnA -.hat. TflU
B 3 can see It In the
1 budget.
Tney nave not
ed what has not
been generally
observed, namely,
that the propos
ed v expenditure
(or nearly all he
government de
part menu are
being Increased
PAUL MALLON rather than cur
tailed. They do not mean the emerg
ency expenditures but the regular
expenditures.
To-wlt: Appropriations for war,
commerce and agriculture were near
ly trebled from the 1935 to the 1937
budgets; Interior and labor were
doubled: Justice and treasury up SS
to 40 percent, and even the state de
partment up 30 percent.
Borne, out not many, of these bud
getary increases are due to Mr. Roose
velt' absorption of the emergency ex
penses of former years Into the regu
lar expenditures for next year. He
has made some emergency expendi
tures permanent.
His total of all expenditures con
templated for 1937 may or may not
be lower than during the pas two
years. One cannot tell from the bud
get. Relief expenditures are unestl
mated. The AAA farm financial pro
gram was knocked askew by the court.
With the bonus and new farm pro
gram coming along. It doea appear
that Mr. Roosevelt will have to look
around In some other directions If
ha Is not turned around by forces
partly beyond his control.
Unprejudiced lawyers here rat this
supreme court higher than the aver
age In ability Only two Justices are
generally considered by the lawyer
to be below oar. Of the other seven,
at least four are rated as outstand
ing men. and the remaining three
above the mean average of the court
since It beginning.
Whatever differences existed be
tween Oolonel Knox and Mr. Hoover
' a few months back have been com
posed. At least, that Is what the
wise one are saying. They feel that,
while Mr. Hoover may once have lean
ed personally to Gov. Landon of Kan
sas, he U not now entirely pleased by
the refusal of the governor to be
drawn into the atump campaign. That
may mean much or little.
Secretary 8wanson la Just one de
gree removed from enough anger to
eloee down hi navy department and
1 vurn It over to the state department
v diplomat. He cannot keep hi hair
out of their fingers. He ha kept his
bat on In all press conferences since
th London naval oonferenc started.
His answer to most questions ha
been: "Let the state department an
swer that one.'
But the other day. with hi hat on.

only a brief announcement to put out.

WASHINGTON. Jan, 33. yp) Leg
islation for Immediate payment of
the' bonus was sent to President
Roosevelt by congress today, backed
by majorities ample for overriding a
president',! veto.
Representative Parsons (D-IU.) per
sonally brought the engrossed bill to
the White House where a veto was
believed in prospect.
Mr. Roosevelt, who has kept strict
silence on thl legislation, was expect
ed to send the measure as a matter
of routine to the treasury department
and the veterans' bureau before act
ing. Vice-President Garner signed the
$2,491,000,000 measure shortly alter
the house adopted the senate's bond

and means committee to concur In a
senate amendment, embracing th
bond payment method, to a cash
payment bill which cleared th house
by a six to one margin in the open
