It becomes increasingly apparent with every passing month that President Roosevelt has not successfully replaced Louis Howe. It is absurd to say that Howe was Roosevelt's political brain. As a matter of fact Roosevelt often overrode Howe's judgment. For instance, back in the 1932 campaign Louis Howe moved heaven and earth to prevent Roosevelt from making the swing to the Pacific coast. But Roosevelt went. He wanted to go. But again and again Howe would be able to stop Roosevelt from doing or saying something that might have unexpected and bad repercussions. No one who knew the two men believes that Howe would not have prevented the President's opening up the story about the rift between the White House and Vice President John Nance Garner. Actually it was one of the worst publicity moves made by Roosevelt in his entire political career. Let's look at the history of this particular item. Chapter one was a sentence in a story by Arthur Krock, published on the editorial page of the New York Times. Krock knows his Washington from the days of the Taft administration, when he was correspondent here for the Louisville Courier Journal. He is shrewd and discerning, and his judgment is greatly respected. An article, printed on the editorial page, would be skipped over by many readers who were not actually Krock fans. Unfortunately for the President, in this case, there are a good many Krock fans among the Washington newspaper men. So they asked the President if it were true that Mr. Garner had made the remark about letting the cattle big and little business put on a little fat. Garner in Opposition Roosevelt could have turned the thing off with a joke. He could have Just smiled and said he hadn't seen the story his normal procedure on anything threatening to become embarrassing. But he didn't. He demonstrated to the reporters that he had worried about the story by telling them he had asked the Vice President about it, and had been assured by the Vice President that he didn't say it. Which immediately put the story in every newspaper in the land, accompanied by the alleged Garner opinion that the cattle (business-- big and little) should be allowed to put on a little fat. It makes no difference now whether Garner said it or not. It sounds like Garner, and it is a logic which at the moment is, very appealing to the country. But the real danger is this. Actually Garner and the President are very far apart indeed on many important issues, notably spending the very issue on which the fight is now raging. So every day, almost without exception, there is some reference to Garner's attitude in the stories that come out of Washington about government spending. And the probability is that this will continue for at least a month. And, the President having gone as far as he did, Garner simply cannot do anything to stop it without stultifying himself. All of which spells loss of prestige for Roosevelt among a great many Democrats who admire and agree with Garner. Mc-Hen- ry no use for Henry A. Wallace. And a tremendous lot of them, without voicing antagonism to any particular New Deal of5fti.il. insisted that the comptroller's 'c&ce should b maintained 100 independent cf Y.hite House control, and CRIMINAL CALLED THEY'RE IT v tt'rent should continue to audit and approve payments to be made from the Treasury before they are made. In short, just because a lot of voters approved Mr. Roosevelt personally, and thought he was making a fine President, they did not propose to set up a change in the government which might make it easier for some lieutenant or aide to get away with something. ' - ' ' ' ; HOTEL Faces a Problem Robert L. Doughton, chairman of the house ways and means committee, faces a problem in the conferences between the house and senate on the tax bill, which only a Southerner can understand. It revolves around the idea of unswerving loyalty to the Democratic party, and to whoever is leader of that party at the moment, regardless of one's private opinions. As a matter of fact two of Dough-ton- 's Democratic colleagues in the house from North Carolina are rebecause fusing to run for of this same problem. They do not like the New Deal. They disapprove most of the administration measures, but they regard themselves almost as soldiers in the line of battle. They do not feel they have any right to do anything else than what the general says especially on any question which by any remote stretch of the imagination could be classified as a party issue. Wild horses could not drag it from Doughton in a public statement but in private conversations with many friends he has indicated, again and again in the last few months, that he was fed up with the present situation. He is still seriously considering not being a candidate for reelection this fall. Yet just a year ago Doughton was thinking of rounding out his career with a term in the senate. So that President Roosevelt's special letter to Doughton and to Senator Pat Harrison, insisting that the principle of the tax on undistributed corporation earnings be retained, put the North Carolina veteran very much on the spot. Actually the house leaders were afraid, when the senate tax bill was brought to the house, that it might Question of Dare be accepted by acclamation without Although the vote by which the being sent to conference at all. house pigeonholed President RooseBadly Scared velt's pet reorganization bill has So frightened were they that been hailed, from one end of the himself appealed to his Doughton to the other by critics of country colleagues personally, saying on the the New Deal as marking the turn floor that questions and proposals of the tide, actually there is a good house didn't have deal of doubt in the minds of most indicated the in its committee. senators and representatives, even much faith This is the sort of appeal the those who bucked him on this and house some other issues, as to just how a man seldom denies, especially to who has its reBtrong the President remains with to the degree that Robert spect folks back home. the So the bill was sent A careful canvass of a number of Doughton has. to the conference with no strings members of the house who voted on the house conferees.

"There were two 'smart' boys in this particular gang who obtained their start from stealing. They went into a store and while Joe attracted the manager's attention, Tom 'lifted' a green record book. This was their diary, after a fashion, in which was kept a complete record of the gang's criminal activities. ?'A fetf months later I succeeded in getting possession of that diary by telling Tom about a survey I intended to make.' An interview was arranged at a downtown hotel, where the boy was made to feel his importance by the gift of a cigar. He handed over the diary l can tell you, it was rich with criminal escapadesj". That's juvenile delinquency. But in the mind of J. Edgar Hoover, director of the federal bureau of investigation, there's another answer. Hoover, who. may some day have to cope with adult criminals who are today child criminals, calls it public delinquency! His analysis is not without logic What's the Cause? "Our youthful criminals of today," says Mr. Hoover, "come from homes broken by death or divorce frorrt homes where discipline was often an unknown factor from homes where there was little or no opportunity to see anything but the drab side of life or from homes where parents, by their own laziness, lack of common sense, disrespect for law, or bad example, care hi tj iround nni. rn ul'TTl person thi T.r, Ljjfjl oppos' AKTMAN Post Offic &of variot ICE CRFm Ice Cr Rl niau rrninonionfd mviCT agrarian in se 'following i e modern adolescents?

It is a truism, as old as the picking of tribal chieftains, that loyalty is given to the king but not to the king's ministers. It is much easier to understand in the British system, where the king's ministers may be kicked out of office overnight, but the king goes right on undisturbed. It is not as logical when applied to the United States form of government, for actually the President is responsible for his lieutenants. Most of them he can fire at will. Most of his actions, save on the really big issues, are really decided by them. But the loyalty out in the country which makes a President strong is not to them. It is to him alone. Few even of the most rabid partisans of President Roosevelt will argue that he has a good cabinet. This is not necessarily a commentary on the caliber of his official family. For party leaders of every party have always deplored the cabinet selections of their Presidents. Their loyalty is to him alone. And that goes for the individual cabinet members as well as the folks who write to their congressmen. There is not a member of the cabinet who does not think he could vastly improve the administration if he could toss half a dozen of his colleagues out the window and pick their successors.
