CABINET, CONGRESS HEADS
NOT IN POLICY MAKING
i
PARTY CHIEFS' IRRITATION
MAY LEAD TO OPEN FIGHT
WASHINGTON. July 7. The odd
est featuro of the New Deal Is the
fact that the highest officials of
the government have eo little In
fluence on the government's broad
policies. These are formed at the
White House by the president and
his private advisers. And If the cabi
net members and congressional lead
ers don't like them, they can lump
them. ,
Naturally, policy Is discussed at
cabinet meetings, but It has often
been settled on first. There have
been times when unhappy cabinet
members learned of Important steps
by reading of them In the news
papers. As for the congressional big
wigs, House Leader Sam Rayburn
had to make a mild scene before
the preslaent consented to the Mon
day morning conferences, at which
he gives his orders for the week on
the Hill. Until the arrangement of
the conferences, the leaders got
their orders sometimes by telephone,
and quite as often In messages car
ried by members of the White House
Inner circle.
There are several reasons for this
situation the chief ones being that
the present high officials of the
government, almost without excep
tion, are either hopeless hacks, or
conservatives at heart, or men whose
opinions the president only values
In their special fields. Far more In
teres ting, however. Is the situation's
effect on the New Deal.
A department with outright hack
management, like commerce, the
president Is content to let go quietly
to seed. His abler official first lieu
tenants he really values, and fre
quently sees.
There have been times when these
men replaced the members of the
Inner circle as .policy makers. One
was this winter, when the president
listened to the budget-balancing
counsels of Secretary of the Treas
ury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., and
Chairman Jesse H, Jones of the
RFC. The private advisers, spenders
to the last man, nagged the presi
dent so much that for a month or
so they were positively exiled. But

worst part of the trip by any means."
Holstrom toegan his trip at Green

days. The lost adventurers are 18
days out of Green River.
"Cataract canyon Is the most iso

1936 Presidential Candidate
Says New Economic Tail
spin Is Due When Gov
ernment Spending Ceases
COUNCIL BLUFFS, la., July 7.
(UP) Alf M, Landon, Republican
presidential candidate In 1936, last
night accused the New Deal of "In
tellectual trickery," and said the na
tion will plunge Into another econom
ic tall-spin when government spend
ing ceases unless President Roosevelt
changes his policies and methods.
The former Kansas governor, in a
radio address, placed the blame for
the - current depression squarely on
administration policies. He charged
that the president has edged the
country toward "government1 abso
lutism"; that administration of re
lief ts a "disgrace"; that the new
wage-hour law was framed as a po
litical weapon, and that farmers are
being regimented.
Roosevelt Criticized
He criticised Mr, Roosevelt for not
taking a "decisive" stand In his re
cent fire -side speech against free
speech activities of Mayor Frank
Hague of Jersey City, N. J. The pres
ident commended Hague's policies by
Inference, and Landon said he wel
comed even this "vague reference."
"But, When he might have given
real help, when he might have pro
vided the moral leadership needed,
he attempted to wash his hands of
it." Landon said. "Even impatient,
self-styled liberals of the New Deal
should champion free speech,"
Hague ia vice-chairman of the
Democratic national, committee. When
the president was asked what action,
as head of the Democratic party or
as head of the naVon that he would
take In view of Hague's refusal to
permit labor leadors, congressmen
others from speaking in Jersey City,
he described it la a "local matter,"
Depression First problem
Landon emphasized that the pri
mary responsibility of all citizens to
day Is to cooperate In a united front
attack on the depression. He said Re
publicans will cooperate In all the
"humanitarian" policies Initiated by
the chief executive, but "we will not
condone corruption and trickery on
the part of his advisers and assist
ants, merely because the ultimate
aim Is good."
"First let Mr. Roosevelt abandon
the confusion and contradiction that
has marked so much of his adminis
tration," Landon said. "Let him real
ize again that the greatest peril to
social reform Is financial recklessness.
Let him make another determined
effort to eliminate waste and extrava
gance, aa he did In 1933 Let htm
cease his nagging attacks on business.
Let him, Instead, undertake to bring
about an harmonious working rela
tlonshlp between. Industry and labor,
and between them and the public.
Prnetlco Own Theories
"Let him make a real effort to dis
solve monopoly Instead of fostering
It. Let Mr. Roosevelt foreswear all
further attempts to tamper with the
supreme court and to get power into
his own hands. Let him put a stop
to the use of WPA money to buy
votes.
"In short, let Mr. Roosevelt only
practice what he preaches, and we
will not only cooperate with him
we will fight shoulder to sholulder
with him to achieve the social prog
rees and the economic recovery which
we all desire and need."
