National Press Building' THIS - The Washington correspondents and columnists who found little or no fault with the New Deal began to dwindle in numbers eventually. Now, as a guess, I would say that of probably only about the five or six hundred writers believe with New Deal policies. This does not mean that those who observe weaknesses or vulnerable points in the New Deal do not write their commendation when they believe it is due. The difference is that they are no longer sold on New Deal completely statements or propaganda without digging further into every situation. As a result, obviously, attention is directed daily to those weaknesses, as well as the strong points, of the New Deal; the news is no longer all ballyhoo for the New Deal. Another result is that White House press conferences no longer are the jovial, carefree meetings filled with laughter, jibes and exchanges, friendly shots back and forth between the President and the correspondents. On a number of occasions, quite the contrary has been true. The President has spoken some very harsh words now and Pum about news dispatches from W ashington by certain writers. He has not minced words when some Republican writer, like Mark Sullivan of the New York Herald Tribune syndicate, for instance, wrote his observations of a critical nature. Altogether, I believe it can be said that the newspaper criticism at times has got under the President's skin and has made him quite irascible and squeamish. I do not mean to say that this condition obtains every time the President meets with the press, but it has happened with greater and greater frequency of late that Mr. Roosevelt has found fault with what the correspondents were writing. Such things, generally, are not written. Newspaper men usually do not inject themselves into rows, nor do they consider that they are more than the eyes and ears for their readers. That is to say, they consider their work impersonal and for the reason that it is Impersonal seldom take the public into their confidences on matters that seem to them to be purely personal in nature. In- - the last two weeks, however, the differences between the President and his advisors, on the one hand, and the editors throughout the country and their Washington correspondents, on the other hand, at last have been brought into the open. That is, and I believe this is a fair statement, Mr. Roosevelt has brought the row into the open. one-fourt- h heart-and-so- good-nature- d The match seems to have been touched to the dynamite by Mr. Roosevelt at a cent off the rec-Se- t ord session which Off he held with the members of the Managing Editors' society. The society meets annually in Washington and always during their stay, they are invited to a White House meeting. In the past, such meetings have promoted a better understanding between the editors and the administration, but the last session appears to have done exactly the opposite. It Is not permissible to disclose what goes on In those meetings and, not having been present, I cannot vouch fur details of the recent meeting. I know, however, that heretofore the editors came away always feeding that bonefis of the meeting had been important. At the last meeting, according to common un-dstanding around Washington, the discussion was heated. The President's remarks to the editors must have been vicious. In ary event, there were few of the editors came away in a good humor. Indeed, at a breakfast of the society the next for W THE 6I0HGE C. 1 " Washington. In the midst of all cf the politics and planning in the national capital. Bitter Row there has lately surDevelops come to the face one of the deepest and most bitter rows that has developed incident to the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. It is the controversy, long smouldering, between the President and the newspapers of the country. It is out in the open now, and the struggle is a desperate one. To go back a few years, it will be remembered how Mr. Roosevelt was described as having a very friendly press when he entered the White House. He continued to maintain the most pleasant relations between his office and the newspapers of the country, and especially with the Washington correspondents, until doubt began to develop in the minds of some editors as to the soundness of New Deal policies in 1935. The number of opposition editors increased and in 1936 it was generally said that the President had only about one half of the newspapers supporting him. But even then, Mr. Roosevelt continued to have exceedingly cordial relations with the corps of correspondents who report on national affairs under a Washington date line. NEWS morning, one managing editor challenged his colleagues with the question: Are we mice or are we men?" Again asserting my inability to vouch for all of the statements that have deluged Washington since the meeting, I know that many of the editors were red headed" or hot under the collar or whatever your favorite expression may be. And well they may have been if it is true that the President told them they had no genuine knowledge of public sentiment in their several communities, nor did they have any But the crowning real influence. shot, according to report, was a pointed inference that the President better understood what the country needed than the editors. to Lta An exact reproduction of a baby Chinese panda is presented Immediately thereafter the AmerChu.

The report cited Mr. Roosevelts frequent use of the for his fireside chats, and it added: The inescapable task of the American press is to gjard against any encroachment upon American democracy by the federal government with radio as the instrument of political power. t Involvement of radio and its control by the federal government in the freedom of Irked by speech battle Radio Policy calls to mind that there has been much complaint lately concerning the federal communications commission. That agency has supreme authority over the radio stations ef the country. They cannot operate without a license. The law which set up the commission gave authority to license stations for three years, but as a matter of practice the commission never has issued a license to any station for e period longer than six months. In consequence, every station owner and operator has to come into the twice a year and file an application for renewal of its right to operate. The complaint is that the broadcasting industry is running on a basis, uncertain at all times about its future status. Twice a year, therefore, any station owner has to make a guess whether his investment is worth anything. One ef the charges agiinst this practice, a charge hailed by David Sarnoff. president of the Radio Corporation of Arnenca, was that the licens'ng practice leaves the door open for indirect and insidious censorship.

While there was no word from Minton the White House, Lets Loose the newspapers were the target for an intemperate speech by Sen. Sherman Minton of Indiana. Senator Minton has been a New Deal mouthpiece through the last year and only a few persons believed that he was speaking his own views. Most 'observers thought he was doing a Charley McCarthy for those in the New Deal who needed a ventriloquist and a forum then and there to get their views printed. Mr. Minton jumped all over the newspapers. None of them would print the New Deal side, he asserted; none would be fair. They simply are awful things, these newspapers. The report of the newspaper publishers, mentioned above, was described by the senator as an exhibition of unmitigated gall. Some newspapers were accused of spewing out their propaganda against the New Deal and he charged that the New Deal simply can not get its side of the story printed. The senator certainly got his side of the case printed for the metropolitan daibes reaching Washington gave him vast space and also they subsequently gave him editorial attention. Senators on the floor listened to Senator Minton, too, but only Senator Norris of Nebraska and Schwellenbach of Washington took any notice.
