These critics urge the absolute ab-solute and immediate necessity neces-sity of administrative efficiency, of curtailing the cumbersome machine ma-chine of government, which has grown to such giant proportions. Rex Tugwell, who is trying to drop 8.000 of his resettlment workers, has urged this on the president. So has Harry Hopkins, Hop-kins, who is now curtailing his surplus FERA workers, v . Even Mrs. Roosevelt has emphasized this point to her husband.

As a result there has been some attempt at increased efficiency and at curtailing the elephantine New Deal -but not much. There are two reasons for failure. One is the obvious fact that no other administration in history has launched so radical and multiple multi-ple a program. The other is that Roosevelt, himself, cannot let go the personal per-sonal reins. This is partly because be-cause he doesn't want to, partly because there are so many weak spots and prima donnas in his cabinet. The number of administrative details which flow across the president's presi-dent's desk is amazing. Coolidge had nothing like it.

YOUNG DEMOS THREATEN TO LEAD REVOLT Platform Of Young Demo' crats To Strike At New Deal Tenets NEW YORK, Sept. 11 (U.R) Rumblings of rebellion among young Democrats over some policies of the Roose-veltian Roose-veltian New Deal were heard today as Young Democratic clubs of greater New York prepared for a pep meeting Friday. While ostenisbly throwing blanket blan-ket approval over the administration, administra-tion, the young Democrats will advocate a platform to be carried into the 1936 campaign, which will strike at several major New Deal tenets, the United Press learned. Four Differences Primary differences, as written into tentative resolutions expected expect-ed to be adopted are: 1. Demand for a balanced budget and return to a "sound money" standard. 2. Strict enforcement of the anti-trust laws to prevent further merger of large business concerns. 3. Insistence on taxation over as broad a base as possible, the impositions starting with small incomes in-comes at nominal rates. 4. Immediate payment of the soldiers bonus. The younger majority party leaders also desire a 30 htour week for industry. The tentative platform stands behind the administration in urging urg-ing lagging states to ratify the child labor amendment, in applauding ap-plauding work relief for the jobless; job-less; and in extending the principle prin-ciple of collective bargaining to all industry.
