ability of ot some of the men he has had in key Jobs What he seems to want is not nol notto 4 to so much business men as lS good men In line with this there appears to tc tobe be more than is generally known in inthe inthe the rumor that Tom Corcoran Corcorah might take over Louis Howes Howe's job as presidential pr si secretary Corcoran will not nol take over the job but what was at atthe atthe the bottom of or the story is the fact that he will hereafter work more closely on certain matters for the president Corcoran is a liberal a young Anthony An An- I thony Advocate and possibly po sibl even evena a reformer but he is among those recognized among insiders as a good man mann i The tightening lightening up tendency has 1 I been evident also inthe way ay the Q new ew W dealers aleu lately have hive been dealing with the press They seem to hav have developed devel L Y a new v feeling that some ome Washington Wash Wash- ington dispatches are arc inaccurate and unfair Of course this is true but V r it has always been true truc Whether the situation has grown an any worse lately is hard to determine Apparently Apparently the administration believes It has No censorship is noticeable No orders orders or or- ders on the subject have been issued I and undoubtedly c I New Deal none will be At 1 k Tightens Up the same time On Press m man many a n y officials seem to be closing S up In their shell segregating friendly t t from unfriendly newsmen watching u f b news accounts and publicity more closely 4 1 The only thing significant about itI it I 10 50 far is that the new dealers paid L little utile attention to press preS inaccuracies or unfairness in iri the earlier easier days i There was nothing new about the thc thes' thes 1 break between the White House andr andI and I the chamber of commerce They r I have been existing across the park s' s from each other here for lor a n l long ng time but they have always alwa's been miles apart The They maintained merely a n surface cordiality while each strenuously strenuously resisted the presence of the j I other The story Is being passed around I II t that the break was wa caused because President Roosevelt failed to send a aI I me message ge to the convention or address ad 2 dr dress it The truth is the chamber prepared d p the basis of 01 its It resolutions criticizing I Continued on Page Pace Two Inside Stuff Continued from pup Pwe One the new deal privately a long time before the conven- conven Chamber tion met mel The res Enmity committee Not Sudden did only what wha every convention resolutions committee always does and that Is to assemble a and approve resolutions s prepared In advance Inthis In Inthis Inthis this instance the committee sharpened sharpened sharp sharp- ened the language of ot the recommendations recommendations recommendations somewhat but did no not alter the meaning me When the full convention approved the critical resolutions only two changes chant were made Both changes sharpened the criticism The fanciest stunt of ot the chamber meeting was the one by which the new new dealers dealer tried to offset the chamber chamser cham ber ser break by having the Roper bus business busl busi- ness neM advisory council call caU at the White House at the same time The idea was vas to to sh show w that not all business busi bust nets ness was against the new deal This ca caused ed a ludicrous situation the chamber leaders leader are also members of the Roper council The They including Presidents ex-Presidents Harriman Lund and others had to dash out of oC a convention criticizing the new deal to join the White Hou House e conference confer confer- ence At the While White House HoUe as Roper councilors they approved the principle principle prin prin- ciple of the federal social security program but at the chamber as delegates dele dele- gates their convention con on had opposed any federal social security program In this incident you may find the thereal thereal real eal significance of business support and antagonism to the new deal They will stand up for tor their opposition tion ion views and try to cooperate occa- occa One recent pi puce ce of publicity which the he new dealers did not like very much was the story about the pros dents dent's political conference at the White House He had a half hall dozen political advisers adviser in for a confidential chat hat Some of them were angry when the story was published and began personal inquiries to determine who had told If they find the culprit culprit cul cuI he will not be invited
