MORGENTHAU BUDGET AIM SEEN THREATENED SLUMP MAY FORCE RENEWAL OF GOVERNMENT Sl'ENUI.NU RESIGNATION OP SECRETARY LIKELY IN THAT EVENT ... APPOINTMENT TO I.ONW" AMBASSADORSHIP RlMllliHII WASHINGTON, Nov, 20 The most fluctuating private spectaela ever of fered by the new deal was that of the sercretory of the treasury of the United States playing "musical bumps" while the president applaud ingly loolied on. Musical bumps Is an odd and ex ceedingly uncomfortable game, not unlike "Going to Jerusalem" without the chairs. The players march 'round and 'round In a circle until someone gives the word of command, when they all sit down on the ground as hard and as fast as they can. When Secretary of the Treasury Henry Mor genthau, Jr.. played rmisleal bumps at Hyde Park, he made a first csss showing. He Is also adept at the Vir ginia reels, for which the president llkea to call the figures. Courloualy enough, these simple pleaaure have a certain Importance as matters of state, for It is partly on thpm that the close friendship be tween the president and his secretary of the treasury ' Is founded, 'the Roosevelt and Morgenthau families sre old Hundson river neighbors and have long been close. It was as the president's friend that Henry Mor centhau first came to Washington as farm credit administrator, stayed on as tinder-secretary of the treasury, and finally emerged as secretary full blown. Soma people think Mr. Morgenthau la not a strong sercretary of the treas ury. He Is not, In the sense that he ts no great financial expert, for all bis early training was as a scientific farmer. But nevertheless. If the bud get of the federal government Is ever bnlanced by the new deal (which. In cidentally, looks ' more Improbable every day), the chief credit or blame will be Mr. Morgenthau's. For a year or so now. he hes used his combined position of close White House friend and the highest finan cial official of the government to urge budget-balancing on the president. Because of a certain seroouaness In his demeanor, the president long ago affectionately conferred on him the nickname of "Henry the Morgue." He might be better described as Henry the wheedler. Since he start ed bis budget balancing campaign, he has never been discouraged. Presi dential Inattention only caused him to redouble hl prayerful efforts; presi dential rebufffs never sent him Into those fit of sulks to which less pliant statesmen are liable. Last spring It really looked as though hi wheedling would bear eventual fruit. Now. however, he eems to have got himself a little over-extended In his budget balanc ing effort. Just at the time when he has committed himself publicly to prompt budget balancing, nlong eoraea a depression, with all Its en ormous and probably Irresistible pres sure for a resumption of heavy feder al spending. If the pressure for spending noes prove irrestlstlble. there is more than a possibility that he will have to re- (Continued on Page Pour ) SIDE GLANCES by TRIBUNE REPORTERS Reece O'Neill scoring a birdie the first time out for golf, his beautiful alio, whanging a sparrow Into the next world.
