Show to borrow new billions without compulsion. Reports are seeping around Washington that Cabinet changes will be made before next year. A number of changes have come j recently in the secondary jobs. ' Postmaster General Farley is slat- ed to resign to conduct the Rcos-: Rcos-: evelt campaign for re-election. One rumor is that Claude Bow-j Bow-j ers, former editorial wirter and i keynoter at the 1928 Democratic national convention, will be j brought into the cabinet so that j his ringing oratory can be utilized utiliz-ed next year. On a basis of present prospects, speakers will be much in demand next year. Six months ago the Administration's political "sages did not see the necessity of much campaigning. The present Congress Con-gress and recent political blunders by the Administration have brought such a deluge of criticism and such an obvious revolt in many parts of the country That a full-throated campaign is now I i;f ' c Washington Snap-Shots .'Idjournment of Congress is now 5 ' finitely in the air. some time 5ft latter part of August tired ' islators will turn their faces meward in many cases to face J ;ttical constituents whose views i ) m things political reputedly ' we changed since Congressmen I t heme for Washington.

The difficulty from the Democratic Demo-cratic viewpoint is. however thit most of the statesmen of the party have turned their backs on it. John W. -Davis, former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, Sena-tcr Sena-tcr Carter Glass, Alfred E. Smith and others can not be counted upon up-on for general support. On the contary, there is a fear that they may go to the country with a demand for a return to Constitutional Constitu-tional government. The Administration Adminis-tration cannot send Tugwell, Ca-hen, Ca-hen, Corcoran, Professor Frankfurter Frank-furter and the other advisers to the President out on the stump. None of the Cabinet, - except possibly Ickes, are strong campaigners. So new blood is reported being sought. |
