Copyright, 1937, by Paul Mallon. .WASHINGTON, June 4. The mav erick clan of heavy thinkers dropped a 100-ton Idea Into the house bill Tiom the other day. Unfortunately, , It struck congress $ with the detona tion of an altght- Ijlng feather. Noj one has considered It worth noticing. it Apparently the onlv fixed orlncl- '?ple of the clan 1st Etnat the Hew ueai Is tame. In accord with this principle, 30 bill was Intro Paul Mullon. duced proposing to do the Job for President Roosevelt in a really big way. The bill would establish a national Industrial expan sion board In federal hands to con trol Industrial production, prices, wages, hours, and Just about every thing except breathing. It would ex pand Industry by federal edict. The clan Is supposed to speak only for the little group of extremists In the house, but occasionally It acta as tuffer for left wing economists In the new order, and, once In a while, for the White House Itself. For example, in the recent relief fl?ht. It advocated two billions to effset the conservatlev Democratic demand for a billion, so that Mr. Roosevelt could get the billion and a half he wanted. It was a pre-arrang-e1 Job. As Agriculture Secretary Wallace has been talking lately about precisely this method, and as Presi dent Roosevelt himself has been talk ing about price controls, the question has arisen as to whether the think ers are now again doing some heavy advance work for an administration industrial control profrrnm. " - The answer Is the bill aa the open ing of a subtle campaign by left wing economists within the new order to promote some such remedy, but not with. the approval of the White House. Note Hidden authors of the bill tre the Ezeklel crowd of economists In the agriculture department. Behind this matter la the fact that Dr. Moulton of non-partisan Brook ings Institution has caused turmoil among economists of the new order by suggesting that Mr. Roosevelt Is going In the wrong direction. Moul ton's non-polltlcal analysis, delivered privately to economists last week. Is being mode public by Brook ings officially. In a sentence, the Moulton theory Is that current em ployment, wages and other Ills could be cured by a real Industrial expan sion, but that wage and hour limita tions are "unwittingly" tending to ward a lower instead of a higher stan dard of living. Or. Moulton did not mention the president's name, out nearly everyone knows who baa re cently proposed minimum wages and maximum hours. What the mavericks seem to have done Is take the Moulton theory and combine it with the Wallace theory of controlling production to work out as vast a federal control scheme as ever was conceived in the mind of man. No one seems to be advocating the F.mpleet solution: (A) to have the government start pnttlng business on the back, and (b) vigorous enforce ment of the anti-trust lawa to break monopolies and hold down prices. PWA Promoter Ickes Is 111, but his men did an excellent Inside Job in piomottng some consideration for eirmarklng PWA funds In the relief bill in the house. Mr. Ickes has been in a run-down condition and may be out for some time. His associates, l-.owever. succeeded in carrying PWA prospect a little Mrther than the White House might have carried tbera tf left alone. Specifically, the plan now Is to grant federal funds to ell municipalities which have authorlred PWA bond issues for "worthwhile projects." Incidentally. Mr. Ickes also recent ly acquired an $80,000 estate In Mary land, about twenty miles from Wash ington, which indicates he does not Intend to leave soon. The extent to which the 1940 preal centUl re has progressed was dis closed hre ti-.t other day when Oor. George Earie of Pennsylvania ad dressed the southern society.

PAIR BY CHANCE LEAVE ILL-FATED Quirk Of Fate Spares Mrs. C. Sun derma n And Daughter Seven Killed In Crash. A kindly quirk of fate was all that saved Mrs. Cordy Sunderman and her two-year-old baby. Shirley, from a flaming death In the bus that turned over near Shlloah. Calif, early Fri day morning and killed all its occu pants in a raging gasoline inferno. Mrs. Sunderman and Shirley wore coming to Medford, passengers on the Ill-fflted stage. Their bus was the second of two stages running on the same schedule. During the brief stop at Redding. Mrs. Sunderman met a woman who was traveling to Seattle with her small child on the first section. The woman proposed that since there was then a vacant seat In the first sec tion. Mrs. Sunderman and daughter might transfer to it. The two moth ers together might then be better able to care for the two youngsters, the woman suggested. Mrs. Sunderman readily agreed tnat the suggestion was a good one and she immediately transferred to the first section. The bus coon rolled along Its way, leaving the stage Mrs. Sunderman and Shirley had occupied to follow. Not long afterward all the occupants of the second section were dead. The transfer caused considerable confusion after the accident as the report spread that a woman and baby were passengers in the burned bus. Mrs. Sunderman and child arrived here safely at 7:45 Friday morning. Mr. Sunderman was here to meet her and the family Is spending the week end in'MXdford. Mr. Sunderman la recreational fore man with the United States forest service and has been transferred here from Grants Pass, the forest service said. The safety of Mrs. Sunderman and her daughter clears up the report a women and child lost their lives In the bus tragedy. A telephone in formant of tbe Ml ll Tribune said Mrs. Sunderman and daughter were the only woman and child on the bus until they disembarked at Red ding. They were known to be on the bus up to that point, and friends here were deeply anxious un til Mrs. Sunderman arrived safely. REDDING. Cal.. June 5. (UP The body of C. A.

SENATE FOES OF HINT MUSI Compromise To 'Save Face' Of President Bitterly Op posed By Borah. WASHINGTON June 8. (AP) Sen ate foes of the Roosevelt court bill threatened bluntly today to filibuster to the point of exhaustion against any compromise increasing the size of the supreme court. This was their reaction to nego tiations begun by administration men in an effort to obtain a vote on a compromise bill this summer. Depot, n el ng the move as "pure face saving." Senator McCarran (D., Nov ) grimly said: "I will stand in the sen ate until X drop against any compro mise." Senator Burke (D.. Neb.) echoed his views, told newspaper men 40 court bill foes were ready to filibuster any compromise that would increase the membership of the high court. But he and others said a filibuster would not be necessary, because they would have the votes to beat any such attempt. The administration men have not announced what compromise would be acceptable to them, but specula tion has 'centered on proposals to name two or three additional Judges now or one a year. The admlnlstra tlon legislation as It now stands would add five at once unless the flvo Incumbents past 70 retire. : Senator Borah (R., Idaho) an nounced today that he is opposed to "any plan, or scheme, which gives. ar tends to give, political control over the courts." Charging that for years lower court Judges had been picked by political machines, Borah took the offensive with a demand that "instead of Wringing the court nearer to the po litical Influences of the government, we could do the people of this coun try a great service by removing the courts farther away from political control."

Townsend went directly to his office where he was closeted with associ ates, Robert Townsend. 22-year old son of the old age pension advocate, was in charge of headquarters today. Townsend' public opposition to President Roosevelt's supreme court reorganization plan, Brlnton said, first drew a reprimand from eight executives May 19. An editorial, Brlnton said, signed by Townsend and published In the May 31 Issue of the Townsend Weekly waa the direct cause of the resignations. The president's proposal, Town- send wrote would break down. "the court's power to stand between the people.-and a nnal - congress or power-drunk president . Receipts at headquarters and from Townsend' speaking tours, Brlnton said, had dropped at least 50 percent weekly during the last month when Townsend continued his attacks on the Roosevelt administration, , GOVElpFUS LISTED PROBABLE E SALEM, Ore., June 8. (AP) While It Is still 11 months before the next primaries, the political picture on governorship to date has been stated as follows: Governor Martin, Democrat, will seek re-election. He has never denied It, but has repeatedly hinted he would run. Unless enemies of Willis Mahoney. Klamath Falls Democrat, ruffle him, he will desist from the governorship and seek a seat In the United States senate. State Treasurer Rufus C.
